Last week marked the start of the NRL School Gala Days across our region, with the 2025 Raiders Tag Gala Days celebrating school spirit, teamwork, and the next generation of rugby league stars.
The High School Gala Days were hosted by the Canberra Region’s NRL Game Development team, running across two huge days, one for Canberra’s southside and one for the northside. A total of 23 schools from the ACT and surrounding areas took part in the League Tag competitions, making for an incredible display of participation and community spirit.
The fields were alive with energy, featuring 44 teams competing on Tuesday and 16 teams on Thursday. It was fantastic to see so many students showcasing their skills, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship throughout the event. The level of talent and teamwork on display highlights the bright future of rugby league in our region.
