RUGBY IN ST ANDREW'S
St Andrew’s Secondary School, as part of the St Andrew’s Village, provides education for boys that qualify for Express, Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams.
As part of St Andrew’s Village, St Andrew’s Secondary School works with St Andrew’s Junior School to continue the academic, moral, physical, social and spiritual education the latter have provided. At the same time, it provides a link with St Andrew’s Junior College.
While a large cohort of students is from St Andrew’s Junior School, there is a significant number of talented students from other primary schools that enter St Andrew’s Secondary School each year.
The school has several academic structures in place for each student regardless of the stream:
| 1. |
RKS Adams Class for the first Express class, emphasizing integrated learning and creative assessment |
| 2. |
Through-train Programme to ‘O’ levels for Normal Academic students who show academic promise |
| 3. |
Experiential Learning for students in the Normal Technical stream |
| 4. |
Tie-ups and programmes with the polytechnics and our own junior college for enhanced learning |
As the school’s key CCA, The Saints Rugby programme is supported by the St Andrew’s Parent-Teacher Association (SAPTA) and the St Andrew’s Alumni (SAA) both in funds and in programme management.
Rugby in St Andrew’s
Rugby is a passion with the St Andrew’s family of schools. From the Junior School to the Junior College, the game is played with great pride, symbolized by wearing the white and blue hoped jersey.
The Games has deep roots in the school, having been introduced by GJ Gurney in 1933. The School’s proud rugby tradition has groomed over a hundred national players since 1930. Passion for the game and a deep love for the school have brought back many such established old boys to coach and support the team. They even form a very enthusiastic alumni team for under 35s and over 35s.
