22 schools from around the Central Division were part of the Get Into Rugby Plus Festival organised by the Fiji Rugby Union in collaboration with AusSport which also launched the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence event.
The event involved schools from around the Suva, Nasinu, Nausori, Rewa and Naitasiri Districts.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence event is a key international moment to call for an end to violence against women and girls which runs from today until 10th December, Human Rights Day.
Assistant Australian High Commissioner to Fiji, Clair McNamara told the children that when they are playing they should think of how they are treating their team mates, family and others.
McNamara hopes they are challenging each other using the Get Into Rugby themes of values, respect, discipline, passion and solidarity every day.
Some of the schools represented include Veiuto, Daku Village School, Lomaivuna Primary School, Bau District, St Joseph’s the Worker Primary, Korociriciri Namata Combine, Yat Sen Primary, Assemblies of God Primary, Holy Trinity Anglican School, Church College Primary, John Wesley Primary.
