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:
“Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
