Mr Armitage leads Pirates Rugby Club to success!

On behalf of the entire St Peter's College community, we are thrilled to extend our warmest congratulations to our Deputy Headmaster: Student Affairs, Brian Armitage on his recent triumph as the Head Rugby coach of the senior men's team at the Pirates Rugby Club. Brian led his team to victory in the finals of the Pirates Rugby Challenge against the PUKKE, the University of the North West, which is an extraordinary accomplishment that fills us all with pride. Brian’s coaching prowess and leadership have shone brightly, especially considering the remarkable achievement of defeating the reigning Varsity Cup Champions, the North West PUKKE 28-19. This victory underscores Brian’s dedication, expertise, and the exceptional quality he brings to the rugby field.

While Brian’s success as a rugby coach is impressive, we want to emphasize that his impact extends far beyond the sports arena. His role as a Deputy Headmaster, devoted educator, and Mathematics teacher holds immense value within our school community. His commitment to fostering an environment of learning, growth, and character development sets a remarkable example for our students and colleagues alike. It is heartening to witness someone of Brian’s calibre and integrity contributing not only to the sporting excellence of our students but also to their overall development as responsible, respectful, and resilient individuals. In an era where the focus on the values of sportsmanship and education can sometimes be overshadowed by a "win at all costs" mentality, Brian’s dedication to prioritizing the holistic well-being of our students is truly commendable.

St Peter's College stands as a beacon of these values—Respect, Relationships, Responsibility, and Resilience—and Brian embodies them in every aspect of his work, where his approach aligns perfectly with our philosophy, and we are fortunate to have him as part of our community. Once again, Brian, congratulations on this remarkable achievement. Your success is an inspiration to us all, and we look forward to witnessing your continued impact in both the sporting and educational realms.
