As part of the build-up to August 27, the first day of the first term at Malvern College Hong Kong, the school organised a “rugby experience day” in late March to introduce incoming and prospective students to the basics of the game.

Led by coaches from the Hong Kong Rugby Union, two action-packed sessions for boys and girls aged five to 12 taught the essentials of handling, passing, positioning and support play, with the emphasis on fun and getting everyone involved.

Alongside that, the event was also a chance to let parents see the value of sport for all youngsters, not just as physical exercise, but also as a way of developing important qualities like teamwork, discipline and leadership.

“A Malvern education has to be a good balance of academic excellence and other co-curricular activities,” says the school’s founding headmaster Dr Robin Lister. “That includes arts, drama, orchestra and coding, as well as a wide range of sports, because we want to give children as many new opportunities as possible outside the classroom.”
