I understand this boy was Dux of Year 11. I'm sure he is not the only one at a GPS school who is very bright and happens to play !st XV (in my year at New more than half of the First XV were in the top set). Now what happens in these cases if a boy who genuinely wins an academic scholarship...

GPSRow is it true that there is a boy who was in Firsts Basketball and First Rugby who was also Dux of year 11 in 2012? If so I'm informed that boy is on a pure academic scholarship

Yes

If there are 10 AAGPS comp games for 1nds and 2nds Rugby, what happens to the other sports? Do they have byes every second weekend or do they just play non GPS schools on those second weekends?

my year at New our Senior Prefect was 1st XIII, First XV, First Debating, Cadet SUO and Dux..but no GPS Gold Blazer

So how fast is their winger?
