Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (original) (raw)

The Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS) is a sporting association of boys' schools in New South Wales, Australia that contest sporting events among themselves. The AAGPS was formed on 30 March 1892, and today has nine members - eight Sydney schools and one northern NSW country school. The descriptor 'Public School' references the historical usage of the term and the model of the British public school. Of the 130 Rhodes Scholars from 1904 to 2006 and from New South Wales, 85 attended a GPS School.
