Really? Unsubstantiated claims are quite useless here...
And then your alarm went off to wake you up.
I promise - unlike the above poster - that I’m not trolling.
Scots beat Shore on aff.
View beat High on neg.
Grammar beat Newington on aff.
Unsure about Kings v Joeys.

Never ever write off Sydney Grammar.
as predicted, Joeys defeated Kings on neg
I think it’s unlikely that Newington beat Shore. So High need to beat Shore for Grammar to be able to coprem. In a world where High beat Shore I think it’s unlikely they lose to Grammar. De minimis that Grammar can pull it off.
That’s right. I’m not saying it’s a certainty but these results could certainly happen. I expect Grammar to win the next 2. Could be a number of teams on 5-2.
The showdown between the two GPS State Speakers ended in an unexpected upset, leading to a victory for Scots. This keeps Joeys' premiership hopes alive, and a likely win against Scots in their next match would secure the title for them. Meanwhile, the upcoming debate between Sydney Boys and Shore is a must-watch. If Shore loses, the premiership could either go to Joeys or potentially result in a four-way tie for the title, which would be a first.

True. Its technically possible that Shore, Joeys, High, Scots and Grammar could prem in a either a 6, 4, 3 or 2 way tie or outright. View could theoretically co-prem in a 6 way tie. But out of all the schools with a realistic shot Grammar is in the worst position.
I'm not sure why there's so much doubt about this information. The Representatives' season starts in two weeks, and GPS has already selected teams and initiated training sessions.
The first team consists of two members from Grammar, one from Joeys, and one from Riverview.
The second team is comprised of one member each from Joeys, SBHS, Newington, and Kings.
State Speakers were not selected due to scheduling conflicts. I believe around graduation and Year 11 Preliminary Exams.

If you have this knowledge then why not release the teams? I think it is slightly implausible that Scots and more importantly Shore who are leading the comp have no one in these rep teams but Newington and Kings do.

I thought last night's topic was well-balanced and had good scope for a range of different arguments. It would have made for some very interesting debates.
Motion: That, as the Victorian Liberal Party, we would call for a vote of no confidence in Dan Andrews.
Info Slide: Victoria bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games in 2022, in regional Victorian centres. However, in July of this year Daniel Andrews announced that Victoria would not host the games due to fears that they would exceed initial costs. The documents alleged that the cost of hosting the games in regional centres had gone from 2.5bn in 2022 to 7bn in 2023. He refused suggestions to host the games in Melbourne instead.
Keen to hear thoughts on the topic and good job to all teams that won!

Excellent motion giving teams on both sides of the topic opportunity to argue innovative cases. GPS topics have been brilliant all year, CAS well, have been run of the mill boring in comparison.
I respectfully disagree with the idea of posting the names of high school students on this forum without their consent.
I have identified the team to which each speaker belongs. GPS does not allocate speaker positions and changes them each debate.
If this week Scots beat Joeys (very possible) and High beat Shore (again possible) and Grammar win as expected, we will have a, wait for it, 5 way tie on 4 wins leaving possibly the most exciting Round 7 in recent history.

You're going to look quite silly when the actual list comes out..
Will I?
I come in peace as a fellow Grammar supporter. If you are indeed the Bob Jones account (which got deleted) re-incarnate, your campaign for Grammar rep selection (nsw team, now gps) on this forum could maybe have the opposite effect. Pls consider disengaging on this matter.
