The '''Great Public Schools Association of Queensland Inc.''' ('''GPS''') is an association of nine south-east [[Queensland]] [[secondary school]]s established in 1918. With the exception of [[Brisbane State High School]], GPS schools are all-male, private schools. Similar associations exist in New South Wales ([[Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales|AAGPS]]) and Victoria ([[Associated Public Schools of Victoria|APS]]).
As of 2013, seventy percent of [[Queensland]]'s [[Rhodes Scholarship|Rhodes Scholars]] have attended a GPS school.<ref>{{cite web|title=Queensland Rhodes Scholars|url=http://www.uq.edu.au/about/docs/rhodes-scholars-list.doc|website=Uq.edu.au|accessdate=2 February 2013}}</ref> Similar associations exist in New South Wales ([[Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales|AAGPS]]) and Victoria ([[Associated Public Schools of Victoria|APS]]).

There have been critics of the GPS competition of Brisbane State High's membership to the GPS Competition, primarily because it is the only Public School in the GPS competition. However, its membership is maintained despite dispute. The term "Public Schools" in the GPS acronym encompasses all public education including the Grammar Schools who are indeed themselves Public Schools. (Grammar Schools Act, 1860)

[[Central Technical College High School]], a Government-run school, was initially a member from 1918 but merged with Brisbane Junior State High School and High Top Wynnum State School in 1921* to form Brisbane State High School, which is still a member of the association.
[[Central Technical College High School]], a Government-run school, was initially a member from 1918 but merged with Brisbane Junior State High School and High Top Wynnum State School in 1921* to form Brisbane State High School, which is still a member of the association. Brisbane state high school has gone on to win many of these GPS competitions.


St. Laurence's College was forced to leave the GPS in the 1920s because it did not have a cricket pitch and a football oval. They competed at least up to and including the September 23, 1928 Athletics Carnival. They are now members of the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) Competition.

Additionally, there was previously GPS Shooting which got removed because of safety hazards. Toowoomba Grammar School had very many premierships in the time it was a GPS competition. When the GPS allowed you to enter 3 teams, Toowoomba Grammar School won 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

The Great Public Schools Association of Queensland Inc. (GPS) is an association of nine south-east Queensland secondary schools established in 1918. With the exception of Brisbane State High School, GPS schools are all-male, private schools. Similar associations exist in New South Wales (AAGPS) and Victoria (APS).

Schools

[edit]

Current member schools

[edit]

Source:[1]

There have been critics of the GPS competition of Brisbane State High's membership to the GPS Competition, primarily because it is the only Public School in the GPS competition. However, its membership is maintained despite dispute. The term "Public Schools" in the GPS acronym encompasses all public education including the Grammar Schools who are indeed themselves Public Schools. (Grammar Schools Act, 1860)

Central Technical College High School, a Government-run school, was initially a member from 1918 but merged with Brisbane Junior State High School and High Top Wynnum State School in 1921* to form Brisbane State High School, which is still a member of the association. Brisbane state high school has gone on to win many of these GPS competitions.

St. Laurence's College was forced to leave the GPS in the 1920s because it did not have a cricket pitch and a football oval. They competed at least up to and including the September 23, 1928 Athletics Carnival. They are now members of the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) Competition.

GPS Music Showcase

[edit]

The GPS Competition holds an Annual Music Showcase where member schools present a set repertoire that is decided by the school who is hosting for that particular year. Students then rehearse for a final concert which, in 2019, was held in the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC). The event celebrates the creative talent of students across all 9 of the member schools.

Additionally, there was previously GPS Shooting which got removed because of safety hazards. Toowoomba Grammar School had very many premierships in the time it was a GPS competition. When the GPS allowed you to enter 3 teams, Toowoomba Grammar School won 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
