Rugby Legend George Gregan Visits Clare Mount
Tue 16 Jan 2024The Clare Mount Community were delighted and honoured to welcome a rugby legend to school earlier today!
George Gregan played 139 times for the Australian Rugby Union International team, including 59 appearances as captain. He was a World Cup winner, in Wales, in 1999 and, when he retired from international rugby, he was the most capped Australian player ever!
George is still passionate about sport, health and fitness and he was with us, today, to promote the benefits of strength and conditioning using a new piece of fitness technology called the 'Aquacore.' Earlier, this year, we installed cutting-edge 'KO8-Systems' in our newly refurbished fitness suite and the Aquacore equipment will add another, brilliant, element to our work with our students in improving their strength, flexibility, proprioception and muscular endurance. George was joined, today, by Kieran Owens, founder of KO8, and we are delighted to be working with both Kieran and George to improve the health and wellbeing of our own students - and hopefully other young people in more of our local and regional schools.
During George's visit, today, he led two rugby and fitness coaching sessions for different student groups before taking questions from the students about his career in rugby. Clare Mount is the first school in the country to be using the Aquacore - which not only benefits our pupils physically - many of our students, today, found the sound of the water and colour appealing to their senses. We hope this is the start of a long and fruitful partnership.
Thank you, George and Kieran for an inspirational day!

A Magical Production - Matilda! Christmas 2023
Sun 07 Jan 2024Our school community was treated to a truly magical performance of Roald Dahl's / Tim Minchin's Matilda over three dates in December. The magnificent performances were a showcase of the commitment, dedication, skill and camaraderie of over 50 Clare Mount students, admirably supported by several Clare Mount staff and volunteers, led by Head of Performing Arts - Mr. Gore.
The community performances, on the evenings of 13th and 14th December, both ended with well-deserved standing ovations, reflecting the outstanding talent on show - and then, on Thursday 21st December, the cast performed the show for the entire student body - providing inspiration for the next generation of performers!
What an amazing way to end the calendar year! Congratulations to everyone involved!
