Ories has connections with all the local and some of the widespread colleges of Wellington. Relationships forged on creating a safe environment and culture for everyone to enjoy and be themselves.
Although the traditional link with Rongotai College is still strong with young men, we have had a recent surge in connections with St Patrick's Town, Wellington and Scots Colleges with our Magpies attending these colleges following Primary school. Our female players have traditionally been educated out from Wellington East Girls, St Catherine's and St Mary's Colleges. In the latter years we have had close family ties with Porirua College that has seen a good number out of the Western Bays school.
Ories has had the fortune of welcoming players educated outside of Wellington Central City. Scholars from colleges such as Wairarapa College, Katikati College, Verdon College (Invercargill), Kelston Boys High, Taita College, Kerikeri College, Otahuhu College, Inglewood High (Taranaki), Sportswood College (Taranaki), St John's College (Hastings), Gisborne Boys High School, Taita College, McAuley High School (Auckland), Fielding High School, Newlands College, Whanganui Collegiate, Hutt Internations Boys, Kapiti College, Hastings Boys High, De la Salle College (Auckland), Carmel College (Auckland), Mount Aspiring College (Wanaka).
We've also been blessed with a contingent who were educated off-shore. Schools such as Chifley College (Australia), Samoa College, Kolisi o Faleata (Samoa), St Joseph's College (Samoa), Kolisi o Palauli (Samoa), Glenwood High (Australia), Wesley College (Samoa), Avele College (Samoa).
We enjoy honouring our traditionally linked schools, but are always welcoming of anyone outside of our immediate catchment schools.
O-TIDE! Where the "O"rdinary player is made Extra"O"rdinary!

CLUB of ORIGINIn maintaining our Junior links with players in colleges, a few like-minded people from both Ories and Poneke banded together to come up with this initiative - CLUB of ORIGIN.
Started in 2023, the annual fixture between junior players of both clubs in college come together to put on a showcase. Ories won the inaugural exchange played on Kilbirnie Park, the second meet will be played on Easter Monday at the O. If you're a Junior of either Ories or Poneke, be sure to connect with the coaches or managers, and be a part of this ever-growing tradition between the biggest rival clubs south the Ngauranga Gorge. |
