Campbell Rae
Campbell started his rugby career at Stirling County RFC and played all the way through the age groups to the 1st XV. During this time he played for Midlands Schools U15, U18. Glasgow U18. Caledonian Reds U21. Scottish Schools U16. Scotland U18 and U21. In 1998 he signed a professional contract with Fylde RFC in England. In 2000 he started pre-season with Australian side Eastern Suburbs before a serious shoulder injury meant that he was out of Rugby for 2 years. One positive outcome of the injury was being in the right place at the right time to work at the 2000 Sydney Olympics where he worked as an assisstant manger at the Beach Volleyball in Bondi Beach. On returning to the UK he played for several clubs coinciding with where he was teaching PE (Stirling County, Edinburgh Accies and Hillhead Jordanhill). He still turns out for the Stirling County ‘old boys’ team and for invitational teams such as the Pigbarians and the Cooptimists. He owes his career in rugby to the volunteers who coached him at Stirling and his parents, who travelled the length and breadth of the country to support him.
He attended Alva Primary School, Alva Academy and then Moray House PE College. He graduated in 1998 with a BEd+Hons in Physical Education.
His teaching career began back at Alva Academy in 2001. He also taught in Lornshill Academy and Bannockburn High as a supply PE teacher and Mclaren High and Balfron High as a Primary Swimming Specialist. He then moved to Glasgow to take up post as a PE teacher at Knightswood Secondary School from 2002 until 2006. In January of 2007 he took up post at Coltness High School as Principal teacher of PE where he is to date.
