Get him to wear a red crazy wig. Seriously, if he is any good you will be sounded out. Wearing the colours of your preferred school may help. All the best and I hope he is successful.

Simple - get your mates to select them in an U15/16 rep team, preferably one coached by someone connected to an AAGPS school. Although with the proposed points system you may need to aim at U12/13s

Agree with you thoughts on the impact of the arms race on High/Grammar but there was some contributory factors. As an aside (and I am expecting some incoming from the Sports Scholarship cheer squad) in 81 pages and 1600 posts there has yet to be any evidence of Shore participating in the arms...

She doesn't appear to be taken - will not last long. She probably enjoys a drink as well - very eloquent in a rugby way - and good observation that Jake and Ewen should ensure they finish the session on a high if they want the big job...

What defines leadership and how is it evidenced. What examples are there of these young leaders bringing about change for the better, charity work, helping disadvantaged children in the area, counseling peers, mentoring younger boys, debating school culture with teachers, parents, and old boys...

Posted on GPS page AAGPS Heads MeetingAt the GPS Heads meeting last Thursday,......Tensions among schools have arisen surrounding ‘recruitment and attraction of students with sporting ability’, particularly enrolling in Years 11 & 12. In order to lessen those tensions a ‘New Boys Committee’ was...

With some serious funding from ARU.

Gibbo, congrats on the scholarship scheme - a great initiative. Isn't the point, however, to attract new talent to the club - are Pete's sons going to play anywhere else (although one did a year at Syd Uni). Hopefully, we can stop the flow of our schoolboys slipping through to the hated...
