This past weekend we held our Indigenous and Alumni Rugby rounds. An Indigenous smoking ceremony began the day which saw CGS students and staff, parents, and Daramalan students come together on the Main Oval before the rounds commenced.
The games kicked off with the U/11s and finished with the 1st XII and 1st XV, who entered the field through the chants of the CGS tunnel comprised of our Alumni and Primary and Senior students. There were wins and losses, but most importantly, everyone came together to create a memorable and truly great day for Canberra Grammar School and the wider community.
