For years, the rugby games have been held at the Botanics Sports Grounds, but after much debate, careful negotiation and meticulous planning, it has been decided that Interschools 2025 will bring all the action back to the Union Schoolsโ campus. This is a monumental occasion for the Union community, one that promises to elevate the Interschools experience to new heights!

The atmosphere at Union during Interschools is electric and this time around, watching the rugby matches from the comfort and familiar surroundings of The Union will undoubtedly take the event to another level. The stands will be packed, the crowds will be roaring and the spirit of the Union Schools will be alive like never before.

This momentous occasion is not only for the current learners, staff and families, but we also want to invite all Old Unionites from near and far to join us for the festivities.
Whether you’re a recent matriculant or someone who walked the halls decades ago, Interschools 2025 will be an event to remember – one that binds generations of Union alumni in celebration of the school that has shaped us all.
The Union spirit is timeless, and we look forward to seeing as many Old Unionites as possible returning to their alma mater for this historic event.
We canโt wait to welcome everyone to the heart of Union for what promises to be a day of excitement, camaraderie and school pride. ๐ฆ๐ผ, ๐ฑ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ, ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ โ ๐ญ๐ฑ & ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ด๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฑ!
