RUGBY 2019

Last weekend saw only the 1st XV playing against RBHS Baabaas in the 1st competition round of the BOPSS 1st Division. This is a team who you never know who will turn out for them. The game was played on Friday at JPC in a weather window that enabled JPC to play to their game plan. The JPC team came out firing on all cylinders, however RBHS managed to cross the chalk first to take a 7 nil lead. The game was played at a frenetic pace with both teams having a lot of possession, however JPC were making better use of it. The JPC scrum and lineouts were functioning well with the forward pack being dominant. JPC came back into the game scored 3 tries to take a 19 -7 lead into half time. The second half was all JPC with the pace of the game seeing RBHS struggle. Their lineouts were been won by the JPC jumpers and the pressure was on. JPC scampered away to a 36 -7 win to bank the win. Again big games from the front row with Dan Frost-Jones, Sam Lennie and captain Patrick Gillam playing a big part in the dominance of the pack, backed up by the energiser man Jack Dowd. Man of the match was Luke Veltman who was solid on defence and had some tremendous crashing runs in the midfield.

JPC COLLECTING FOOD FOR THE POOR IN ROTORUA This term we begin, as a school community, to collect food for the poor in Rotorua, which will be donated to the SVDP Food Bank where volunteers based at St Mary's Catholic Church, deliver food parcels to needy families.

This term is the lead in to winter, when poorer families will begin to have higher power accounts as heating puts pressure on their finances which are already stretched.

Please, would you as families and students of JPC, donate non perishable food items to the food bank, other than baked beans and spaghetti which they seem to get more of through the Masses offerings. We try to donate things like tinned meal foods, spreads, biscuits, crackers, drink sachets, heat and eat meals in packets etc All food items donated earn 20 house points per item or 100 house points per 4 items. I hope you can help the Food Bank.
