For what it’s worth (not much) I think you’re underestimating the quality of Shores academic system. It, like Joeys rugby, is world class.I’m
I’d wager good money that all these schools beat Shore pound for pound in the HSC. If you take a bunch of privileged kids from Mosman (Shore) they should beat kids from the very diverse backgrounds that kids at schools like Joeys come from. On the other hand, if you measure how the boys improve vs expectations, there is no contest. Also, Joeys has won the debating 2 years in a row and had a perfect ATAR result last year. . Also, this is a rugby forum.
Stay dry out there people, interesting to see who are the masters of the wet game.
