Rugby at Canberra Grammar School has a long reach. From a first tackle in the junior years to the alumni who have gone on to play professionally on the world stage. The lessons learned from the game tend to travel further still, well beyond the field.
So it was a real pleasure to open our doors today and share our rugby offering with future families as part of our Indigenous Scholars Programme, joined by three guests who know the game well: Matthew Sonter, Craig Leseberg and Andy Friend.
A good day for rugby and for the families who might one day call this place home.
L-R: Jaime Fernandez (CGS Executive Director Co-Curricular), Craig Leseberg (Brumbies Deputy CEO and GM - Community Rugby), Andy Friend (CGS alumnus, former professional player and coach), Matthew Sonter (Rugby Australia’s First Nations Rugby Manger), Dr Justin Garrick (CGS Head of School), and Jerry Yanuyanutawa (CGS Head of Rugby). ...
