AN INTERRUPTED
SEASON, BUT PLENTY OF
PRIDE IN PERFORMANCE
Our boys take great pride in wearing their school colours each week
The summer season of 2019/20 was extraordinary, to say the
very least. The coronavirus threat has had a significant impact on our
sport program, with the cancellation of the APS Head of the River
and the swimming and diving finals greatly disappointing our boys.
The final two rounds of sport were cancelled for all under-age
teams, and the final round for our firsts programs was also impacted,
with the health and wellbeing of the boys put first. The traditional APS
and AGS representative games were not held, and we are looking
at a lengthy delay to our winter sports program.
The anticipation leading into the rowing, swimming and diving
finals certainly indicated confidence in our ability to perform well in
these events, built on many hours of hard work and sacrifice. The
rowing 1st VIII had defeated all comers in lead-up events, including
impressive wins in the New South Wales and Victorian State
