St Thomas of Canterbury College Sport

It was fantastic to celebrate our Term 1 sports assembly this past Monday.

As our young men prepare for sports trials this week, we thought it would be a good idea to reshare this episode of The Hearts and Minds The Podcast featuring Dr Warrick Wood.

The conversation explores the “car ride home”, a key moment for parents to connect, listen, and support their sons. It’s a simple reminder of how powerful positivity, presence, and good communication can be during the ups and downs of sport.

🎙️ Episode 16 - Navigating the Car Ride Home is OUT NOW!!! 🚗 Make sure to tune in to this great korero between Steve Hart & Dr Warrick Wood!

BASKETBALL - Our senior squad vs Rolleston for The Brad Milne Cup. A new crew took the floor for 2026 and a HUGE crowd of supporters turned up to be wowed by an excellent performance by the STC boys. We led from the start, played with manawa and secured the trophy in glorious style. A strong start to the year and some spectacular vibes for the crowd. Final score STC 105 vs Rolleston 67.
Cheers, Biggsie.
