On Saturday, 1 August, Old Ignatians from every era are invited to dust off their Year 12 Leaving Jersey, squeeze back into it (if possible!), and head down to Riverview's 1st Field for the OIU's inaugural Jersey Day. 

Join us at the BBQ for a sausage sandwich, a catch-up with classmates old and new, and an afternoon supporting Riverview in its final home game of the GPS Rugby season against Scots. 

No leaving jersey? No problem. Wear an old Riverview rugby, football, AFL or other school jersey - or simply come dressed in blue and white. 

We look forward to seeing a sea of blue and white on the sidelines on Saturday, 1 August 2026, as we cheer the boys on in their final home fixture of the season v Scots.

We're also building an archive of Riverview Leaving Jerseys through the decades.  The first Leaving Jersey was in 1987, and the tradition has continued on ever since.  

We are looking for leaving jerseys from the following years to complete the collection: 1997 to 1999, 2001, 2003 to 2005, 2007, 2009 to 2010, 2011 to 2015, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024.  

If you have a jersey tucked away in a cupboard (or your son has one more recently!), we'd love a high quality photo.  Please send to news@oiu.org.au so we can add them to the collection.
