nThursday11January1866,FreddieBinkswalkedthroughtheMoubray Street gates of Wesley as its first student. 140 years later we celebrate the role sport has played in making Wesley one of the great independent schools in Australia. Although sporting results (in terms of winning) have been mixed over those 140 years, we have had long periods when Wesley enjoyed great success in fielding winning teams. The first 20 years of the 20th century was one such period, under the guidance of LA Adamson. AdamsonwasanOld Rugbeian, who tried to create at Wesley the Rugby ideal of muscular christianity. He summed up his purpose in his favourite watch words “strenuousness and sentiment”. From 1933 to 1954 came another successful period with ten cricket premierships under the watchful eye of PL Williams. After losing every game of football in 1958, Laurie Humphries coached five successive premiership teams. Since 1987, when girls were first represented in senior sport, Wesley have won 31 premierships across ten girls sports. A truly remarkable record. However, it must be remembered winning is a passing thing. Associated Public Schools (APS) sport is not for coaches, not for parents, not for old scholars and not for school exploitation, but for students. APS sport teaches players to be selfless, relatetopeopleofvaryingabilitiesandtotreatthemasequals,tomakefriends andalsohowtowinandloseandtobeableto“treatthosetwoimpostersjustthe same”. Coaches, parents and schools must realise the game is only important while it lasts. We would be doing a great disservice to the memory of teachers like Stewart, Mitchell, Williams, Kroger, Phillips, Wells and Humphries, to mention just a few, if we were not able to echo the words of Sir Henry Newbolt,
“To set the cause above renown To love the game beyond the prize.”

onour colours are awarded to students in each sport who show an exceptional commitment to the team and an outstanding level of skill in the specific sport.
To achieve honour colours in three different sports (triple honour colours) is an extremely difficult task and indicates an outstanding contribution to the Wesley sports program by the recipient. A list of triple colour students follows. Four Wesley students have achieved the rare honour of being awarded four honour colours. They are:
