Rugby League Program Overview
The Mountain Creek Rugby League Excellence Program is an elite training and coaching program developed for gifted and talented rugby league students from Years 7-12.
Catering to both male and female students, our program is designed to have a strong student-centric approach, that advocates holistic growth, both on and off the field.
Whilst the vehicle towards student success is learning the skill, technical aspects and game play of rugby league; the program is underpinned with the values of respect, honesty, integrity, leadership, responsibility and teamwork. Through these values our highly experienced coaches look to help every student achieve their rugby league and academic success.
We have been fortunate to have many current and former students experiencing success in the state wide representative competitions, Queensland Cup, and NRL both as players and as officials.
Mountain Creek State High School Rugby League Program continues to work closely with several clubs including the SC Falcons, the Brisbane Broncos and the Dolphins
