Sounds like a corporate governance problem at Scots if the Council is full of well meaning people. Good corporate governance requires a board of review comprised of people with both the competence to understand and the independence/willingness to question/act. At the very least the review should...

Another one from twitter God, which ALMOST had applicability to some posters on this thread: "People in glass houses should not throw orgies"

I never said he was recruited or that Grammar recruited, or though it may have been implied by some from my selective use of facts (now corrected). My point is there is a lot of accusations flying around about who does and does not recruit or has seemingly dodgy practices. If detractors want to...

Umm, AAGPS site indicates High won 2nds, but point being it wasn't Scots. They finished in the middle - no doubt this year they will be near the top with 10 forfeits!

Ok my bad. Correction - he entered College Street in year 8, repeated year 10, and stroked HOTR winning crew. Perception wise - an interesting look for the academic school.

Does the Presbyterian Church have a top dog with balls?

Umm - reread what I wrote, specifically words 3 and 4 - I was on the pool deck when he made his first big splash in GPS swimming - and I know he was at Rushcutters Bay and that his mum is a teacher. Also, why does a boy who is now at a top university need to repeat Yr10?

Post of the thread - thank you for the perspective of somebody looking after the boys who cares. PS Sorry about the selective editing - couldn't resist.

Entry into Harvard is not that tricky if you happen to be good at rowing - have experienced the enrolment process first hand.

Talented athlete enters College St in Yr 9, repeats Yr10, and then strokes 1st VIII.

I have been misunderstood - my earlier posts make it clear with which school I am affiliated. I was thinking more along the lines of the ease of finding disgruntled parents - ie 2009 when 3 boys repeated in a 2nd VIII having been winners the prior year, with the crew being faster then the 1st...

Point: It is difficult to achieve world domination without collateral damage. Students and families come and go but premierships are forever. Counterpoint: It is not hard to find disgruntled students/parents at any school for a quote. Just visit the Shore boat shed and seek out mothers of Year...

Usual struggle street (ie poor kids from the suburbs and bush) and tall poppy syndrome stuff that Jonesy specialises in. Some quotes form Dr Lambert: "a means-tested bursary is purely based on someone's alignment with your College's values and mission (ie dominance of Australian sport - as QH...

Fair observations re rugby but it is the nature of the basketball teams with which the other schools have their current problem.

Agree Scots have been somewhat unfairly targetted in rugby and are comparable to some other schools. Are you able to provide the same clarity (numbers only), for the non-Scots people here, as to the origins of the last 2-3 1st V's, the sport at the centre of present controversy?

I would also posit that the SMH was given the heads up as part of a broader offensive.

QH, did you keep a copy of the webpage given it has changed and a number of times since then, and more recently been removed?

Scots' scout in Africa?

The Corolla stuck between the two semi-trailers.
