    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    You know a true competition may well be the answer here - a school boy rugby competition all comers welcome not just elite GPS schools etc. How is it a competition with only 5-6 schools anyway. Logistically a nightmare so maybe just 1st VX sides and others continue as is. This would allow the...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    A well rounded experience both in and away from sport was how we made our choice, with the chosen school doing it particularly well with a very genuine desire for scholarships recipients to gain the max out of the offer academically, socially and sport

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    I would certainly encourage other parents who may observe this thread in silence to share their experiences, its nothing to be ashamed of, its quite something to be proud of, you just have to know not everyone agrees and that's ok.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Haven't seen many parents sides of the story on this thread, so I can tell you that as a parent of a "scouted son " by NSW and Qld GPS schools there are negatives and positives but the positives far out weigh the negatives for both the school and the boy IF as a parent you do your due diligence...

    2016 Schools rowing

    Never going to argue with the technical aspect of rowing its not negioable for sucess but either is the size of the motor. But otherwise agree on all fronts, what radios !

    2016 Schools rowing

    Fair enough maybe, State was busy on the concourse but I wouldn't say out of hand. Yes its a big place but in front of the grandstand ( at the western end, never in the middle ) is the best place to cheer from !!

    2016 Schools rowing

    Bit of a sour way to look at it, believe it or not rowing is not just clinical execution, you need the motor driven by a big ticker and when you ask crews can they here the crowd and does it lift them, its a resounding yes. They love it, just something we on the bank can add to the race...

    2016 Schools rowing

    Why would you want to clear the supporters just displaying a bit of pride in their club, school, friend or child. Who's way are they are in, I love to see a crew lift when they hear the crowd.

    2014 Last Year for NSW Country Schools Rugby Union Championships

    Yes Gilly boys were advised Thursday afternoon via email that the game was cancelled, Samoa still didn't have their visas sorted 4 hrs prior to their flight. Hugely disappointing and a shock as we were heading to Armidale the next morning. The boys are gutted CSRU. Did everything in their power...

    2014 Last Year for NSW Country Schools Rugby Union Championships

    Yes Gilly I'm planning on being there will be happy to report back, it will be tough for the boys in orange I think but a great honor to have the opportunity, maybe the cool weather will slow them up but probably shouldn't hold my breath.

    Waratah Shield/Cup 2015

    Redfield 24 def HVGS 22 A thriller of a game with 4 tries a piece and only kicks making the difference. The lead changing numerous times but the HVGS boys made many uncharacteristic handling errors that probably cost them the game and Redfield took all opportunities that came off the back of...

    Waratah Shield/Cup 2015

    A bit nervous for the HVGS boys, a good test to see where the school is at anyway. First time for them making it this far.

    2014 Last Year for NSW Country Schools Rugby Union Championships

    Thanks Gilly, yes it is the same team that has been invited, CSRU Development XV ( team that toured Singapore and Hong Kong earlier this year) not the 1st XV that played in last years school champs, but who will end up playing is not known yet as some boys may not be available, a few boys may...

    2014 Last Year for NSW Country Schools Rugby Union Championships

    Players were advised this week, the game is against the Samoan National Schools side and will be played TAS in Armidale on the 19th September as a warm up match to the Aus Schools test match. CSRU have also made arrangements to have some Brumbies reps and Eastern Suburbs Coaches to run their eye...

    AICES Rugby

    So the AICES schools should just sit on their hands and wait until NSW Rugby or clubland come to the rescue, I think not. Its a fact of life to go forward you have to help yourself. The passionate rugby people in these schools who do a fantastic job need (and I'm sure they are ) to campaign for...

    AICES Rugby

    If AICES is to become truly competitive it is now up to the schools within this association to develop their own rugby programs to support what AICES has put in place and expose their boys to more consistent and competitive rugby, without that they will never get off the floor. These lads will...
