Rugby League Program of Excellence - 2016 Redcliffe State High School
A bit of background
Redcliffe State High School is one of the oldest and proudest schools on the Peninsula. The school
opened for business in 1958 and set as the motto of the school ‘Faire Sans Dire’. In translation this
means Deeds Without Words. At Redcliffe we believe in the importance of our actions. To this end,
Redcliffe is committed to providing quality education in a manner that reflects the needs of today’s
students.

   School of Excellence in Rugby League
To demonstrate our commitment to achieving ‘Above and Beyond’ outcomes for our students,
Redcliffe High in 2001 commenced a Program of Excellence in Rugby League. This course has proved to
be extremely popular with boys and is again being offered to students entering Year 7 in 2016. The
course will cover six semesters over Years 7, 8 and 9. Students will further develop their skills while
learning about many other aspects of the game. Subject results will be recorded on students’ reports.
These Year 7, 8 and 9 units will lead into the Senior School Program of Excellence ‐ Rugby League in
Years 10, 11 and 12. These programs are being offered to prepare players for possible careers in Rugby
League and allied industries.

Redcliffe Leagues Club endorses the program and their support extends to assistance in coaching
clinics with senior club players and coaches as well as providing playing and training outfits. The
Program Coordinator is Mr Michael Roberts, a Level 2 Coach and current coach at the Redcliffe
Dolphins. Mr Garry Woodford, a Level 3 Coach and the HPE and SPORT Head of Department also
coaches teams and takes Rugby League and HPE classes. Mr Laack is also an integral member of the
coaching team who gives a professional attitude and work ethic to the program of excellence.

Our teams will compete in the Sunshine Coast South Zone Competition as well as the Broncos
Challenge. Recruitment and Development manager of Redcliffe Dolphins Steve Crawford accompanied
by Steve Grant will also be involved in the development of the course content and coaching matters.
Playing/training fields have already been developed and the school has a gymnasium which boys in the
program use extensively.

We would like to offer you the opportunity to apply for a position in the Redcliffe State High School
Program of Excellence – Rugby League. The chance to further develop your Rugby League skills while
studying at one of South‐east Queensland’s most innovative schools is unique. Boys in the Program of
Excellence will have the opportunity to play in competitions that not available to other schools on the
Redcliffe Peninsula. We participate in the Gee Shield and DeVere Cup, which are Broncos sponsored
competitions.
