yesss you would be right, some of them have been training throughout the summer e.g. the rowers, cricketers and bballers that will be playing the 1sts and 2nds and are currently playing in their own summer sport respective 1st and 2nd teams. The other boys not in these teams have been put on...

is hugh roach playing for the woodies next year?

If you had two people applying for the same job, with the same qualifications as each other, but one went to the same high school as you. You would him straight away! period. Very well put braveheart

*taxes = scholarships.

if you would know them.....you would understand.

choose your words.....my brother knew two old boys one being a 1st XV player, 1sts basketball, a member of the school's orchestra, Senior Prefect for the school and was in the top 10 for Modern History in the State. Picture perfect role model for the school and for the younger boys. he later...

Unforunately, it has come to this. GPS schools are no longer 'schools' in the traditional meaning. They are very well-run business suited to pleasing the 'consumers' (fee paying parents/old boys) and in many ways give up the fact that going to school is 6 years of high-school education with the...

there was a curtain raiser for next year against new vs kings at SFS before the tahs play????? did this get cancelled??

hahaha interesting, will the new up and rising Ben Volavola be one of the first waratah players with a bit of indian blood in him! great to see how this kid goes

i think this will slowly change now for Newington and Scots, now as the o program is slowly growing in both schools with newington now having nearly 50 boarders currently attending with a stronger emphasis on getting rugby breeding areas and putting heavy advertising, buses and scholarships...

interesting to know that Newington 1st XV will not have any 1st 8 or 2nd 8 Rowing boys in it. past years Newington have thrived of big, solid boys willing to give rowing a hand and gain double colours. This will hopefully even the spread for the Newington Boys in sport as the sporting talent can...

yes it would be, 5 to of the 6 current year 12 first XV members were completely the English Advanced Course, with one managing to excel in Visual Arts and PDHPE (band 6 hopefully). 3 were completing 3 unit maths, while the rest were doing 2 unit or general maths. All completed at least 1 year...

Newington boy as hooker........imported?

is this SM you are talking about??? he is a great asset to the school, has a big heart for the college and has the fitness of an a-grade sportsmen season round.

may i stir up some business here or it may have been said already.......as an old boy, reading these forums and remember watching 'GPS' rugby 5 or 10 years ago and seeing a mainly even playing field between all schools in the GPS competition with most years and teams having 1 or at most 2...

get a grip mate, he is a great player, no harm was done.

sorry bout the nickname, one was needed.....hopefully he will just mature into opens rather than playing him up....he is so young still

does anybody know if the infamous 'hound dog' Tyrone will be playing up an age group or playing in the opens next year for Newington??

couldn't agree more, shouldn't included this fine newington boys, luke strong may need to know do some serious pre season training to come against the other schools or boys wanting the same position as him. a great fullback to complete a hopefully sound back line could be last year 2nd XV...

Newington knows exactly what you mean........(speaking on their behalf)
