Structure
There are three trimesters of sport. During the trimester each school plays a single round robin against all of the other schools. After seven weeks of competition, premierships are awarded to the teams with the most season points. Traditionally, schools Ashgrove, Iona and St Laurences are successful in the Rugby Union Competition followed closely by Padua and Villanova who always put up a fight against these schools. Villanova and Padua always field strong Soccer teams. In the Track and Field competition Iona are very successful winning the past six in a row.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
