Designing the Reconciliation Round jersey

Celebrating First Nations history and culture on the sports field

Reconciliation Round jersey design

Introducing this year’s Reconciliation jersey design, which was proudly worn by our First teams during the AGSV Sport Reconciliation Round. 

In this third iteration of the jersey, our First Nations students, in collaboration with their friends and allies of Reconciliation, developed a design that centres around the themes of connection, unity and heritage.  

The design integrates spiritual elements from across Australia and the diverse ancestral homelands of our students, and links them to the lands and people of Trinity Grammar School, which is on Wurundjeri land.  

The design also reflects the house structure of the Senior School and celebrates the journey of First Nations and non-Indigenous students and their commitment to Reconciliation and inclusivity. 

Bunjil and Waa | Donna Blackall (2021)

Weaving, natural materials

Donna is a Yorta Yorta weaver living on Wauthurung country in Ballarat. This large weave was commissioned for Trinity in 2021 and depicts an eagle and crow, two animals significant to First Peoples across Victoria. Bunjil the Ancestral Wedge-tailed Eagle is the creator and Waa the Ancestral Crow is the protector for the Traditional Owners of Melbourne, the Boonwurrung and Woi Wurrung peoples.

Earlier this year, this artwork was hung in the Junior School Reception space.
