Last week we ran our first, “You make the Call!” courses for 2025  one which was open to all year 11, 12 & 13 students, and one for members of the the OBHS First XV

The course is designed for students to carry out pre-event preparation and apply the rules of sport (rugby) while officiating sports events.

With the classroom-based element completed, our students will now be taking to the field for junior club footy once it commences, while sporting our new “Green Referee” jersey.

 The First XV boys will be hitting the junior club rugby fields each Saturday morning when they play in Dunedin — proudly officiating in the morning before pulling on the blue and white to play later in the day.

Our students will be juggling refereeing and playing, showing just how many ways you can get involved and give back to our great game!

Best of luck of our students and make sure you give them a pat on the back if you see them around!
