Well having been there for half the 90s, played old boys until 2015 and speak with a few of the teachers I think I do.......Hmmm, not sure you know much at all about rugby at Barker in the 90’s or now….
and you are?Well having been there for half the 90s, played old boys until 2015 and speak with a few of the teachers I think I do.......
A lot to happen before we can even speculate. Haven't read into it but will the number remain per year? Hence some boys won't be in the year or is it extra enrolments on top of current number in which they would have the same depth as current.
Might be some resource shifting but Girls play Rugby at Barker as well. Barker are an easy comparison to reach for but they run a Rugby program with a clear focus at the top and not the whole from what it seems anyway. Not sure if Co-Ed has had much to do with it. Not sure on the gender split at Barker but they have over 2,500 total students and Riverview has 1,500. Don't think they girls are the issue.
I don't know where you've got this information from but you're very misinformed. The boys are training hard and have a great preseason program going.Heard Scot’s are the only GPS team who have NOT yet officially started a rugby pre season training program
Ha.NRL sides doing it for them.
Joeys 1990, I think it was either 12 or 13 in the GPS1stXV and in fact Steve Jani from the Joeys 2nds even made the GPS 3rdsQuestions - does anyone know what the record is for most players from the same school in the GPS first XV? How many? Which year and which school?
A few are playing SG Ball for various teams like Fittler, Bartlett. (Other playing touch etc) Also its a very very long season and injuries are a major concern so not to sure if not training now will determine anything at all.I know where you've got this information from but you're very misinformed.

Good point. I can think of only three independent girls schools who've gone co-ed: Calrossy in Tamworth, SCEGGS Redlands in Cremorne and Rosebank in Five Dock. I, too, wonder why that is.Also interesting to note that there aren't any independent girls schools rushing to open the doors to boys. I wonder why that is?
Totally fine with this.Then don't. Thousands of parents would have the social aspect of high school to a higher importance over academics and co-curricular activities. Not to mention that you can still get both to a high degree even with co-education...
Calrossy needed the enrolments and Redlands had suffered financial instability for a number of years so I speculate the boys coming in was too - as a result for a need for more enrolments. Rosebank had been co-ed since the 80s for Year 11 and 12 so it doesn't appear to be too much of a stretch to extend that in to Year 7 when they did in the 2000s.Good point.

When economic practicality dictates it makes sense. That hardly seems the case in relation to Newington. There really doesn’t seem to be much in the way of hard data to support the educational benefit argument. As for the civilising argument, a) that’s the role of the family not the school, b) 95% of children in Australia already attend coed schools, I’d argue that misogyny in general is the result of other factors rather than school environments.Scots Bathurst, and All Saints', were established as boys' schools but both admitted girls in the recent decades (AS subsumed a girls' school, Marsden, when it went co-ed). Some five years ago the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst go into some serious financial difficulties and put its three independent schools up for sale. Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation purchased Macquarie Anglican Grammar School in Dubbo along with Orange AGS, but All Saints' in Bathurst was too big a bite for them. The Presbyterian Property Trust pounced shortly thereafter, bought AS and merged it with Scots Bathurst to form Scots All Saints College, Bathurst. It's co-ed.
It’s also probably due to the fact the Newington is close geographically to Meriden, PLC and MLC .. All 3 are some of the best performing academic private schools in the state .. and a lot of the brothers go to Newington …When economic practicality dictates it makes sense.

(For the Newington school council) It might be worth reading the newsletter that the then retiring Meriden principal circulated last year. It was staunchly in favour of a girls only school and shared substantial data supporting the position. Meriden is closest to Trinity whose own principal published an oped in the smh in recent weeks …… some schools won’t give into fashion, and stick to the sticking place.It’s also probably due to the fact the Newington is close geographically to Meriden, PLC and MLC ..
