A warm welcome to all parents of players participating in the Independent Schools Rugby Festival, hosted by Woodridge! Your presence at the festival would add an extra dimension of excitement and camaraderie to our festival. We'd be delighted to have you with us to support your child and share this wonderful experience with them.
Parents can prepare themselves for some thrilling rugby action as teams from various independent schools, with a long rugby heritage, compete against each other with unmatched intensity.
