RGS Alumni Where are they now?

BEN CONDON (RGS 2017)

NRL Pathway

Having made his NRL debut and played 12 games with the North Queensland Cowboys, Ben Condon is now at the start of a three-year deal with the Manly Sea Eagles. Ironically, Ben’s previous last game in the NRL was against Manly in 2021, where he scored a try for the Cowboys against Manly in Townsville. Ben scored his first try for Manly in his team’s win over Canberra this season. Manly coach Anthony Seibold says this of Ben: “There’s no fuss to Ben. He is a country guy. He just goes about his business in a really reserved manner. Ben is still only a young guy who is at the very beginning of his NRL career. It’s not how you get your opportunity, it’s what you do once you get there.”

Agriculture Leaders

Past student, and current RGS parent, Bronwyn Christensen was selected in the National Farmers’ Federation’s 2023 Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Programme. Bronwyn was one of 12 incredible women selected from across Australia. The annual mentoring and networking program is in its sixth year. It is the NFF’s flagship initiative to fix the under representation of women in agriculture’s leadership ranks. Programme participants met in Canberra in June, where they outlined their goals, met their mentors and heard from inspiring speakers. The group will graduate at the NFF’s National Conference in October.
