History of the GPS
 

2018 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the Foundation of the Great Public Schools’ Association of Queensland.  The Centenary provided an unrivaled opportunity for the whole GPS community to come together in a year of reflection and celebration, entitled GPS 100.

 

Highlights from GPS 100 have been preserved as a tribute to a wonderfully unifying and energising GPS Centenary Year.
