2024 – 2025

Shoreline Middle School is proud to offer a very special athletic opportunity. The R.A.P. is open to all students in grade 6, 7 and 8. Students who have completed all of their schoolwork, have permission from their teachers and parents/guardians are able to develop their rugby skills as part of this program. 

It should be understood that no experience or area of expertise is necessary for students to engage in the program. In addition to the Rugby Academy Program offered at the school we also will be fielding tackle rugby teams in April and May. These are in addition to the R.A.P.  

In an effort to provide mentoring opportunities for the students involved in the program we have partnered with the Rugby Academy Program at Esquimalt High, the Thunder Rugby Program at the Songhees Nation. 

The program runs on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons during block 5 (1:36 – 2:50). Students will meet Mr. Gwilliam in the cafeteria and then go out on to the field for practice. Student-athletes will not require any additional equipment; however, a change of clothes is recommended given the winter weather conditions. Please be advised that we will be going outside rain or shine. 

Please reach out to Mr. Gwilliam at gwilliam@sd61.bc.ca if you have any questions or concerns.  

Thank you, 

David Gwilliam
