It has been a great season and many thanks must go to the coaches, players and parents who have made this season possible. ​

Gymnastics

The GPS Gymnastics Championships were held at Brisbane Grammar School. Max Blacker (​Year 7) competed well in Division 2 'A'. Vedant Sawant (Year 11) finished third in the All-Round Division 1 'A'. Pommel and floor are his best events. His coaches believe Verdant is a very talented and disciplined gymnast—an Olympian in the making.

Tennis

Best-performed tennis teams were 11A and 8A — both finished third on their division ladders.​ 

Note: this may not include results from all activities, i.e. GPS Rugby, due the season still running at the time of writing.​
