1998 has been a year of substantial progress at the College.

I am very proud indeed of the great strides that have been made in technology since our pioneer teachers and students in Years 8 and 11 embarked on the notebook program at the beginning of the year. Twelve months later, I can say that we are delighted with the progress recorded so far. Our students are demonstrating great ease with the new technology and the curriculum they are studying is undergoing fundamental and creative transformation through new software applications and new techniques of learning, particularly at Year 8 level. Such advantages will be generalised throughout the senior secondary years in 1999.

rethink the dynamics and direction of the Preparatory School, and we can look forward to some important developments in 1999. For his part, the new Vice-Principal and Head of the Senior School, Mr Andrew Sloane, who took up his appointment only in the middle of the year, quickly set a vigorous and purposeful stamp on the management of Senior School affairs. He is to be congratulated on a very fine start to his tenure.

I have also welcomed the careful planning that has gone into the sporting program in 1998 as we endeavour to improve both its scope and quality across the school. Greater emphasis is being placed on the acquisition of skills through a more specialised approach to coaching, and the formation of a further six Parent Support Groups towards the end of the year was a most positive development. October saw the memorable triumph of our girls' athletics squad at the APS Premiership and also marked the beginning of the construction of our new Aquatic Centre. We look forward to offering a rich and varied aquatic program (swimming, diving, water polo and underwater hockey) in the second semester of 1999.

DR. PAULINE TURNER

With progress on these fronts and consolidation elsewhere, the visual and performing arts have continued to flourish in the past year. The Year 8 production - It was a Dark and Stormy Night - was a triumph of atmosphere and sophistication, while the Senior School production of The Three Musketeers gave more than 100 students (and some talented staff!) the opportunity to participate in a sumptuous theatrical experience. The November Foundation Concert and end-of-year Carols by Candlelight service, for their part, were exemplary performance landmarks in an active and exciting musical year. And finally, the VCE Art Exhibition, held at the Woolstores Campus early in December, revealed an astonishing quality of artistic expression in ceramics, painting, wood technology, textiles, photography and graphics.

Two significant appointments were made to the College in 1998. The new Head of the Preparatory School, Mr Chris Lawson, who took up his position in January, has made an excellent beginning to his period of leadership. Drawing on the resources and good will of staff, students and parents, he has started to

As my third year as Principal of the College draws to a close, I would like to thank all staff, students, parents, Old Collegians and Council members most sincerely for their support and valuable contributions to the continuing life and prosperity of The Geelong College.

Dr P Turner

When looking at The Geelong College through the eyes of a newcomer, there is much to savour. There is the commitment of both staff and parents to the school along with the competitiveness and spirit of our students on the sporting field (as was shown by our College Open First Netball and Girls' Athletics teams in winning APS Premierships). There is also the unique flavour that our rural families bring to the College along with the quality of the College's musical offerings and dramatic performances, and most obviously, the beauty of the grounds and buildings.

There have been some occasions during the year that were most noteworthy because of their sheer quality; these being the Foundation Concert and the 'Three Musketeers'. Both presentations highlighted to me the great depth of talent in the student body in the areas of music and drama. Both were outstanding, also, in that they provided opportunities for many students, of varying ability, to be a part of a major production.

I thank Mrs Margaret Lethbridge for both her work during the first semester in running the Senior School and the invaluable support and advice I have received since commencing.

Margaret's wisdom, based as it is on years of accumulated knowledge of the College, has been of inestimable value to one who has commenced at mid-year - a time when everybody is running very hard.

I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the care offered to our students by the Heads of House. As some of them move to new challenges, I thank Mr Michael Gallus, Mr David Miller and Mr David Young for their leadership during their time as Head of House.

levels in Senior School, and a new Aquatic Centre will rise from the site next to the Rolland Centre. These quite different projects will impinge on all our students' lives and, for quite different reasons, will improve the educational experiences of our students as they move through the school in coming years.

The final reflection should, however, focus on the student body. Since my arrival I have been struck by the openness and friendliness of College students. While there are the usual 'challenges' offered to school administrators, recollections of interactions with students during my first six months have been overwhelmingly positive. Whilst there are few who do not 'do the right thing' when it is required, it is, indeed, a pleasure to be identified with our students at public occasions.

Mr A Sloane

The Prefects (College and House), Co-Vice-Captains and CoCaptains are also to be congratulated for their fine leadership throughout the year. Those who follow in their footsteps should indeed seek to emulate their presence and involvement in school life. They have been fine role models for Senior School students and it has been a pleasure for staff to work with them.

There is much to anticipate in the coming year. Amongst many exciting opportunities for our students, two stand out in my mind: technology will take a prominent place in our students' education with the Notebook Computers being used by all year

As I come to the end of my first year as Head of The Geelong College Preparatory School, I think back to what we have done and what we still have to do. I hope that we have provided the expected opportunities for each child to gain success and that all children and staff have managed to improve their performances in some way this year, whether it be in the public arena or in the context of normal classroom or extra curricular activities.

Ours is a responsive school, where we do listen to and respond to the needs of our parent community.

Ours is a traditional and busy school, where children are encouraged to participate in as wide a variety of areas as possible, whilst still maintaining a focus on the development of necessary literacy and numeracy skills.

Ours is a committed and caring school, where staff are concerned about the children they teach, where our administration cares about their staff and where, despite the normal pressures of a community of nearly 600 people, we all feel proud to work. We are, indeed, an Independent School in every sense and we hope that our students will remember us and keep in touch with us, just as the Old Collegians before them have done.

Our students have access to excellent facilities, including large playing areas which allow for both passive and active activities. The 'enviro' in particular is a unique feature of the school and a place that we would like to see developed further in the future. This space, combined with the many alternative activities that children can choose to do in their recreation time, provides an atmosphere where there is less tension and stress.

We have close contact with both our parent and local communities. Our children and staff participate regularly in community service activities such as Meals on Wheels, visits to local retirement villages, support for students at Barwon Valley Special School, United Way, Adopt a family, Salvation Army collections and hospital fund raising events.

We have designed educational programs and offerings which we believe will bring the best out of our children in a wide variety of areas. These include the traditional academic subjects, drama, music, library, art, languages other than English, physical education, special education, camping programs, bands and string orchestras, debating groups, as well as extension activities for our more able children.

Often it is not until we take our children and staff out of the normal school environment that we realise what a great job they

do. The success of our Tournament of Minds Team in being the first Geelong team to not only win through to the State finals, but to go onto the National finals; our girls athletics team who won the Schools' knockout competition and who represented the school in National competition in Canberra, achieving a very creditable third place; our Solar car team who won through to the final 16 cars in an International level competition; our tremendous success in the Maths Olympiad this year; our middle school string orchestra, bands and choirs who have performed very well in public venues this year, particularly doing an excellent job at the Junior School Heads Music Festival and the recent Carols by Candlelight service, and our students who have worked hard to present productions in both Campbell House and Middle Schools this year are indications of how successful they have been. I hope that you, like me, are proud of the efforts that have been made this year.

As my time as School co-captain comes to an end, I look back at the years and consider what I have achieved. Over the past four years, whilst I have been a student at College, I have been inspired and motivated to do my best at everything that I set my mind to achieve. Whether this has been on the hockey field, in the exam room or on stage performing, there was always an inner surge of determination, which encouraged me to seek my best.

You may say that competitive streaks like this are unhealthy, however I believe that if you have a dream you should do your best to accomplish it. Indeed, much of this can be attributed to our school, The Geelong College. Many of us take the opportunities we are offered at College for granted. By opportunities, I am referring to our facilities, extra curricular activities and of course the staff, who make it possible. The dedication of our teachers is undying and whilst we may resent them at times for that extra essay for homework or having to run three laps instead of one, we should never forget that essentially they are doing it for our benefit.

However, although encouragement from others is able to inspire us, it is fundamentally our own mindset that can urge us on to achieve our dreams. We should never be deterred by others' comments, and neither should we make ourselves believe that something is impossible. 'Obstacles are those things that we see when we lose sight of our dreams'. If we apply this to everyday living then we are able to see that we can achieve anything, be it a small task or a grand adventure.

Our years at school can often be some of the best times of our lives. While many of us are reluctant to leave the sense of security and family which a school like College offers, I believe that we have to anticipate the bigger challenges that are out there waiting for us. Year 12 has been for me, a somewhat bittersweet time. It has undoubtedly been the hardest in terms of work; however, it has also been the most rewarding and enjoyable time of my life as I am part of a group of 200 students who are delving into adulthood. In later years I'm sure we will learn to appreciate exactly what a great start to our education and indeed life, that we were given, as a consequence of having attended a school such as The Geelong College.

DANA RYAN - School Co-Captain

I sometimes feel that as School co-captain, people expect me to say that The Geelong College is the most important thing in my life; that nothing will ever compare to the experience that we have at school. To be honest, this kind of motto - of total loyalty and dedication, such as that expected from the students in 'Dead Poet's Society' is a cliche. The Geelong College is not the centre of the universe. In fact, one of the best things about our school is that it recognises just this. We are encouraged to see ourselves as individuals as people who will leave the school and who have responsibilities beyond it. It provides us with a comfortable, challenging environment in which we can develop.

And while it nurtures us and gives us direction, ultimately it is up to each student to take hold of the opportunities and make the most of them. We are not successful just because we go to The Geelong College. We are successful because The Geelong College provides every one of us with goals and the skills to reach our potential.

In years to come, when I return for reunions for the class of 1998,1 have no doubt that I will not only be reminded of a time when friendships were close and unique, but I will be faced with a group of people who have a sense of gratitude for having experienced life at this school. I doubt that at any other time in my life will the sense of community be so strong. There will probably never be so many people who are dedicated to my well being.

However, instead of my departure filling me with sadness or trepidation, I feel confident that the lessons learnt here in my six years at The Geelong College will stand me in good stead.

So in conclusion, I would like to thank all those people who taught me these lessons: teachers, fellow students, coaches, parents and friends.

One of the most important and challenging tasks of the College Council is to anticipate future developments in educational and to develop policies which will ensure that the College continues to be one of Austalia's leading schools.

It was for this purpose that members of the Council, Dr. Turner and senior staff members met at a Retreat this year.

We determined that the key elements of the education offering of the College should include the extensive use of information technology in the delivery of education, the extension of our excellent pastoral care provisions for students, an extensive co-curricula program, the provision of opportunities for vocational educational training, the maintenance of a strong boarding presence at the College and an emphasis on customer service.

Initiatives have already been taken by Dr Turner to

implement and develop the policies agreed on at the Retreat.

The commencement of the construction of the Aquatic Centre this year was another significant development for the College. It has been made possible by the generous support enjoyed by the College expressed through donations to the continuing Aquatic Centre Appeal conducted by the College Foundation. Students and members of the wider College community will soon enjoy the most advanced swimming facility in Geelong.

We can be confident that the directions established for the College as it enters the new millennium will further enhance the quality of the learning experience provided to our students.

Wade Byrnes, James O'Rourke and Nicholas Wightman - all avid soccer players.

This season I chose soccer as my winter sport. It's an awesome feeling when you're running down the wing, you pass a couple of players, then it's one on one, just you and the goalie. You strike the ball and it shoots into the goal. The most exciting game was against Haileybury because we were winning by three goals at half time and then they kicked the next 4 goals before we scored the last goal to draw the game.

WADE BYRNES Athletics was so much fun with knockout relays and APS competitions. The greatest time was running through the finish line. The most nervous time was waiting for the knockout scores. Overall, it's great just to develop your fitness and I can't wait till next year.

AFRICAN DREAMING

When I close my eyes, I dream of a lioness. I like it because it has sharp claws, soft skin, and is fluffy. It is also queen of the jungle and a big cat.

By Isabelle Russell

When I close my eyes, I dream of a lion. I like it because it is furry, has a long flowing mane and can run very fast.

By Kim White

When I close my eyes I dream of a rhinoceros. I like it because it has scaly skin, is very strong and has a huge horn. It can also kill people and it looks very dangerous.

Head of House: Mr D Young House Tutors: Mrs D Black, Mrs H Fitzpatrick, Mrs F Gasperini, Mrs J Mitchell, Mr A Payne, Mr P Taylor, Mr M Whittle House Captain: Kate Betts House Prefects: Emily Chakir, Gareth Ellis, Rob Macafee, Kiri Milsom, Andrew Morphett, Megan Trim Under the guidance of Mr Young for the last time, Calvert entered 1998 with high hopes and expectations for the year ahead.

Calvertians were ready to snatch back the trophies lost in the not so successful 1997. Experiencing both triumphs and tragedies this year, it is more than fair to say that Calvert has proved itself a force to be reckoned with in the future The first event on the calendar was Rowing, another cold and blowy day on the river where 4 boys, 4 girls and a mixed 8 would flex their muscles in an attempt to out row the other 7 houses. The best result was undoubtedly the girl's crew consisting of Janet Lang, Rosie Bell, Kiri Milsom, and Peggy Fidge who managed to make the 'A' final before succumbing to a few too many crabs. The boy's crew, however, had very limited success which I am assured had nothing to do with Stewie giving up the strings to take on an oar.

After returning from a much-needed summer's break we welcomed the new Year 9's into the house and quickly began our house competition. Within a week the new Year 9's had along with many other students jumped into a pair of speedos and hit the pool on a somewhat cooler day than was hoped. Although finishing in 6th place, exceptional performances were recorded by Gareth Ellis, who for the twelfth consecutive year was the champion for his age group. The Jeremiah brothers, Charlotte Weddell and Penny Ladd recorded other promising performances.

As the weather heated up so to did the house softball and cricket competitions. For the softballers, the first round saw a convincing win, however in the last two matches we were less fortunate. The girls who played are to be commended on their sportsmanship throughout the round robin. Special mentions must go to Jane Lawler who was sensational in the back stop position, Jayne Lamb, Beck Morphett, Anna Betts and Bronwyn Pettitt. The boy's house cricket team did well to reach the final with an excellent three-wicket haul from Robbie Macafee, eventually finishing runners-up in this competition.

Senior house tennis players took to the court, recording some very promising results. Both the mixed doubles and boys' doubles played off against a slightly stronger McLean team. Good Nicholas Casboult

Carol Target

performances were shown by Beck Morphett, Edward Jeremiah, Fergus Weber and Anthony Goode.

As Term 2 dawned we said good-bye to Mrs Alldis and welcomed Mrs Fitz who was recruited with great approval from her Lit. and English students.

Once again, before anyone had time to think of an excuse, the cross-country was upon us. The cross-country, where everyone was to enjoy the banks of the Barwon on a nice casual jog. Well, that was the attitude of all the other houses; Calvert on the other hand, could taste the donuts that waited for them on the following Wednesday if they were to win this event. Exceptional results with wins from Edward and Richard Jeremiah and great performances

by Cazza, Andrew Hamilton and Carol Target helped the house to capture its first trophy for the year.

As the CAT's started to get heavy, the Year 12's the house prefects were facing 'Mission impossible'. That was selecting a song and then teaching a group of 80+ tone deaf students how to sing in time for House Music. The big group song 'Hooked on a feeling' whilst not scoring as highly with the judge, was as Calvert singing always is, a crowd pleaser. Thanks to help from Skye Abikhair and particularly Janet Lang in the small group and instrumental categories, Calvert lifted its scores to finish an impressive 3rd. This was an achievement only obtained due to the organisation of the prefects and the eventual co-operation of most house members.

Both boys and girls basketballers had sides consisting of up to ten players indicating that everyone was keen to show the lunchtime crowds what skills they had. The girls won two of their three matches, narrowly missing the final. Best players were Kiri Milsom and Janet Lang, with strong performances by Rosie Bell and Sarah Weber. The boys were placed in the most competitive side of the competition in their matches and they were unable to get a win under their belts. Despite losing all their matches the boys showed good sportsmanship and participation was once again very high.

The best players were Robbie Macafee, Fergus Weber and Brian Cooke. It was a good sign to see such high levels of participation, something I hope will continue long after I have left.

The netball competition undertook a new format this year with a three game round robin to determine a winner in both pools, who would then play off in the final. Senior netballers proved themselves a force to be reckoned with winning the first two games convincingly, before missing the final by one goal. The junior girls also put up a fight recording varied results - one loss, one win and a draw. The best players were Rosie Bell, Lucy Paton, Jane Lawler, and Anna Betts; good performances were also shown

by Peggy Fidge, Rebekah Macauley and Sarah Strachan.

The boys' house footy side was weakened by lack of numbers, eventually finishing with one win and one loss. Nick Casboult, the only member from the 1st XVIII, was the best player throughout, however special mention should go to Cam Hamilton, Tom Betts and Jamie Bell. Soccer also made its debut this season, the boys winning one match and losing one match. Best players were Shane Groom, David Ellis and Nick Casboult in goal.

Girls and boys combined to create a hockey team filled with skill and determination. After gaining a place in the final Calvert was eventually defeated after many controversial umpiring calls.

The best players were Stewie in goals, Gareth Ellis, Jayne Lamb and Carol Target.

The last event of the term three calender was the house athletics, where all of Calvert house joined together to politely warn the other houses that we were going to reign supreme. Most houses failed to take us seriously which proved to be a huge mistake, as we narrowly scraped in by 7 points to win ahead of McArthur. This was a much deserved win, due to great participation levels and exceptional performances from Richard Jeremiah who won his age group; Nick Casboult, Sam Willett, Gareth Ellis, Jamie Bell, Rosie Bell, Rebecca Herd, Janet Lang. This was to be Calvert's second trophy for the year.

a convincing 20 stroke win in the house golf, his score helped by promising performances from Reid Merriman and Tom Kaye. This win took our trophy tally to three.

Pushing all sporting events aside, throughout the year Calvert has had the opportunity to display it's intellectual talent, with the house debating competition. Recording some pleasing results, year eleven won two out of three debates with Tim Williams being mentioned as best speaker. The Year ten team also managed to secure one win with a good performance from Charlotte Weddell.

As my time as house captain draws to a close, I would like to thank the house prefects who proved to be a great help to the younger house members and me. Also, on behalf of the house, I would like to thank Mr Whittle, Mrs Black, Mrs Fitz, Mr Payne, Mr Taylor, Mrs Mitchell, and Mrs Gasperini for their help as tutors.

A special thank-you must go to Mr Young, who after twelve years as HouseMaster will be stepping down. His commitment and support for Calvert has gone above the call of duty and his is a position that will not easily be replaced.

I hope that all members of Calvert keep their enthusiasm and participation levels and I wish you the very best of luck in the years ahead.

Head of House: Mr A Miller Tutors: Mr D Clifford, Mrs J Ekkel, Mrs D Lannan, Mr E Manwaring, Mr C Morris, Mrs H Patchett, Mrs P Porter House Captain: Alison McMillan House Prefects: Jarrah Gurrie, Suzy Wilson, David Faris, Tim Farquharson, Bronwyn McDonald Coles' House spirit is what makes it successful. Although this year Coles House did not excel amongst all the other houses except in the House Football, we remained consistent in merit and certainly provided the 'entertainment' at numerous House events.

The foremost event of the year was House Rowing and certainly put Coles in good stead for the inter-house competitions to come. It was impressive to see Faris riding along the bank with his oversized hat and megaphone supporting each race. We finished an excellent third with remarkable efforts from Arrigo, Allen, Drummond, Lok Pearce, Rob Crittenden, McTagget, Nelson, Bim, Chappie and Claire Grieve.

After returning from a luxurious summer holiday, we were each literally 'chucked in at the deep end' of Kardinia Swimming Pool. As a house Coles is quite reluctant to put on a pair of togs and plunge themselves in freezing waters. However, there were some excellent results. Eli Anderson and Oscar Stanley both came 2nd in their divisions and Jane McMillan came 3rd. Bim was an inspiring participant for the day and Dick and Farqui performed some sensational dives.

The cricketers were faced with the next challenge. Solid performances from the whole team led to a momentous round with prominent play from Farqui, Al, Jusi, Tysen, and Blake.

Meanwhile the girls were trying to play it rough on the Softball field, which resulted in some very narrow defeats. The talk of this season was Louise Duffs spectacular home run. Other fine hits came from Nelly, Laiz, Suzy, Kirstin, Penny and Lyndel.

We pulled out our powerful weapon on the tennis court, the unbeatable Sinclairs. Brilliant performances came from Jane and Marie who won their doubles and Suzy, Mel and Robo, Scott and Farqui, Jane Williams and Barry and Catherine Williams.

While a few of us looked forward to the Cross Country with anticipation and nervousness, the rest of us took the opportunity for an annual stroll along the banks of the Barwon. We had five outstanding achievements; Tae Kim was the first boy home in his Melinda Cooke

38

age group; Nelson and Robo both placed third; Marie Sinclair won her division followed closely by Jane McMillan who came third.

Suzy Wilson also came third in the Open Girls. Other swift runners included John Arrigo, Al, and Koren.

The chill of winter fell upon us as eighteen boys from Coles chucked on their guernseys to play the infamous House Football.

It seems that this year's prime focus was the most distinguished cup of all, the Footy Cup, and Coles triumphed to steal it from the Morrison side who had held it in their grasp for a number of successive years. Best on Ground performances went to Al, Jusi, Arnup, Dick, the Farqui brothers and Faris. This was such a feat that Mr Miller rewarded the whole house with donuts, which was a rarity.

Hockey was tackled well by Sull, Scott, Drew and Faris. We just missed the final and placed a commendable third on the ladder. Inside the gym we were shooting hoops for House Basketball. The boys came third with best players Aaron, Robo and Evans and in the girls' comp Suzy had a 99% shooting average and other good players were Mel, Lou, Ange and Bronnie.

With a team full of budding young netballers, the juniors placed third overall with fantastic displays of skill from George, Jane and Chappie. The Senior Girls also played well to win one of three matches. Soccer had it's first year in the inter-house competition. Best players were Nathaniel Reader, Arrigo, Robo, Sull, Sinclair, McTaggart and Chapman.

Our position on the ladder in the more recent House Aths did not reflect the individual talent and determination of Coles students. Suzy Wilson was the Open Girls Champion; Marie came first in the U/16, with Mel third and Jane fourth. Other individual winners were Dick, Farqui, Crittenden, Hayley, Oscar, Tysen and Levi. Other outstanding participants for the day were Robo, Munnas, Allen, Claire, Boyle, Chappie, Jess and Angie. A sport that is not often recognised within the house is Golf. This year Coles put together a side with great potential including Farqui, Faris and Scott who came second overall. Farqui played a fine round with 71 to be placed fourth.

Our academic ability shone in house debating from Years 10 to 12. The teams consisted of: Year 12 Ilaiza, Jarrah and Bronwyn; Yr 11 Catherine and Jane Williams and James Sharp and Yr 10 Jane, Marie, Pat Myer and Nelson. From each year level there was a best speaker -Jarrah, Catherine and Marie who are to be congratulated.

Waltzing out onto centre stage for House Music, equipped with sunnies and ties, we performed our very own, very original version of 'The Blues Brothers' by singing 'Raw Hide'. This excited one particular rural, Dick, to bring in his almighty whip and try to crack it. Disappointingly, he was unable to perform on the day.

Once again James Sharp saved the afternoon with his exceptional talent in the instrumental along with Eamon, James Chapman, Arrigo, Drew, Jane, Marie, Oscar and Lyndel. Overall House Music was well organised by James Chapman and Jarrah certainly managed to steal a great deal of limelight in his attempt to conduct.

Mr Miller, we have really appreciated all that you have put into the house over the past 13 years. Coles is certainly losing an outstanding pillar of strength as you move to Queensland. I'd now like to join with the rest of the house in thanking you for everything and wishing you all the best in the future.

ALISON MCMILLAN - House Captain

Another main focus for this year has been social service and this was well organised by Bronwyn McDonald. At the end of '97 we adopted a family for Christmas, supplying them with food and gifts to make their Christmas a special one. Harrumbee bands were also sold to support third world countries.

With great pleasure I would now like to say a few words about Mr Miller. I am sure most of you, have come to recognise many of his attributes that make living in Coles House enjoyable. He takes much pride in all that he does and this is manifest by the amount of time and commitment. Mr Miller's three main roles in the school community are as Head of Coles, Coach of the First XI Boy's Hockey Team and his teaching. He is ever keen, encouraging to all of his students, a good listener, is reasonable and honest.

With 1998 rapidly drawing to a close, the twenty-five Year 12 students who will be leaving Keith House have definitely had a "year to remember"! The years of Keith House "setting the standard" for all other Houses in the College by finishing a resounding eighth have long faded from our memory, with 1998 seeing a number of very successful outcomes in basketball, cricket, debating, hockey, rowing, soccer and tennis.

The sporting calendar commenced with the much awaited inter House rowing. In 1997 inclement weather and choppy waters thwarted our anticipated triumph in this activity. Consequently in 1998 we were determined to succeed. With invaluable advice from "the professionals" such as Matt. Connell, James Boston, Sarah Charleston, James Cole, Vanessa Hall and Lucy Mills, we proceeded to claim victory.

After the extended, relaxing summer holidays Keith House was highly focussed on success in the first inter House event for 1998 - Swimming! Keen to maintain our consistent performance of the previous year, we again managed a creditable sixth position.

Vanessa Hall and Sam Percy both made fine contributions.

Following this stimulating start we proceed to demolish all but one other House on the tennis courts, with David Keith, Charlotte Sutherland and Sally Wilson making their presence felt.

An eager bunch of boys sought to outdo this near success, with some determined, if not amazing skills, on the cricket field.

Andrew Boehm, Adam and Ben Collyer, Andrew Knott and a number of other fanatics, ultimately achieved their goal with success over Calvert in a great display of teamwork.

As the summer days were well and truly upon us, the girls opted to make a fashion statement and

slipped into their 'apple catchers' for softball. The Year 12s supported by Breanne Jackson and Caroline Little, all put in a great effort. After the first term break, it was time for the annual stroll around the river, or "cross country" run.

Great courage was evident here as Keith House lifted from last year's 'setting the standard', to a commendable fourth place.

Luke Kenfield, Lucy Mills, Rowena Neunhoffer and Sally Wilson all finished in the top ten of their year group.

Following this was the much-loved House music. With our enviable record of success and the range of talent in the House, we again looked forward to achieving a high degree of success. This was not to be despite our best rehearsing, with sixth place being our adjudicated position. The efforts of all were admired, particularly Clarissa Trosky and Andrew Stephenson, who organised the small vocal and instrumental groups respectively.

Thanks also to Luke Pullin for his humorous contribution in the 'whole of House' item, a sight to be remembered!

From the acoustics of Morrison Hall to the mud of the football oval: once again football was upon us. This season saw our best ever result, fifth, with Marlon Law and Andrew Knott leading the way. With a Head of House as Hockey coach and the lsts Hockey captain on our team, victory on Rankin field seemed not an unrealistic possibility. This was not to be, with a very creditable second place the final outcome.

Following our Premiership performance the previous year in girls' basketball, we were ready to achieve back to back victories.

The Macarthur 'Dream Team' had other ideas however and the closely fought grand final saw us lower our colours for a valiant second placing. Great contributions from Laura Bourns and Leah Marriner highlighted our pursuit for success. The boys' team likewise strove determinedly, to snatch third place for the season, with Dane Jackson, Andrew Smurthwaite and Daniel Wedding providing terrific efforts.

Ath's day finally arrived after the inevitable "wet weather" delay. Great expectations filled Keith House on this occasion, with strong success achieved by many students through all year levels.

James Boston, Lucy Mills, Ro Neunhoffer, Andrew Napier and Sam Percy all made excellent contributions for our third placing.

Netball saw a pleasing result for all girls' teams. The seniors achieved a courageous second place, with commendable efforts from Sally Wilson, and Leah Marriner. The juniors also showed the future strength of the House with a formidable third position with Jordana Clark and Eliza Hobba showing plenty of skill.

From the fields to the classroom as the mighty Keith debaters took the floor for their 'great debate'. Angela De Stefano, Sonia Hayes, David Keith and Andrew Knott provided many fine arguments, but failed to achieve the final glory. Derek Weeks, Breanne Jackson, Jess Boyd, Julie Fryman and Ben Lannan showed there is plenty of talent yet to come.

A crowning glory for the winter season was on the soccer pitch where James Boston and Mark Hanna led us to a very satisfying success. The final term saw Matt Connell, James Cole and Andrew Knott attempt to succeed on the golf course. Fortune did

not smile on them that day and a creditable fifth place resulted.

In conclusion, thanks of all House members go to the ever supportive and patient tutors, along with Head of House Mr. Montgomery, for their care and guidance throughout 1998. Thanks also to all the year 12 's for their support and assistance with organisation in the House this year.

Good luck to all in Keith House for 1999.

Head of House: Mr M Gallus Tutors: Mrs L Brown, Mrs D Geary (Term One), Mrs J Gardner, Mrs V Harris, Mr R Kayler-Thomson, Mr J C Keating, Ms M T Keogh and Mrs J Nelson House Captains: Eliza Austin andjonathon Spinks Prefects: Samuel Christensen, Simon Clark, Lucinda Cummins, Campbell Ferguson, Hannah Jankiewicz, Katherine Macmillan, Nicholas Sanders and Melissa Tan There are many words that could describe McArthur this year. Of course we are the undisputed champions of the world, but apart from our fantastic sporting exploits and creative talents, the word for 1998 was change - a year full of change.

It began with some new faces. After many years of excellent service Mr Egan and Mr Cummins retired at the end of 1997. After nearly as many years, Mr MacBryde left us mid-year. To top that off, Mrs Nelson stood down after nine years as Head of McArthur, took long service leave in first term and later announced her intention to retire at the end of the year. (What have we done?) Of course, all this leaving left gaping holes in our starting lineup! Enter Mr Kayler-Thomson (KT to almost everyone), Ms Keogh, Mrs Harris and our new Head of House Mr Gallus. Joined to these new faces was a new set of house prefects, and McArthur approached 1998 as a new and rejuvenated house.

As always, the first event on the calendar was house swimming, and we managed a credible third place, thanks to great participation from the whole house. There were, of course, some outstanding performances: Sophie Farrow and Stephanie Deeath both won their age groups, Nick Sanders and Claire Wood (perhaps the find of the year) came second in their divisions.

Other great performances came from Charles Roy, Niall McPadden, Catherine Leighton, Lucy Cummins and Amanda McDonald, another new girl.

In the cross-country we managed a creditable second with winning performances from Claire Wood (again) and perennial top performer, Nathan Mayes. Nick Bridges, Frances Hynes, Charles Roy, Adam Wightman, Emily Haylock, Sarah Johnston, Jonathon Spinks, Nick Sanders and John Cotton all placed in the top ten; our

42

senior girls blitzed the field with Lucy Cummins (first), Megan Bell (second) and Eliza Austin (fifth) taking three of the top five positions in their division.

Of course the one event that is the most sought after for the year is House Music. After weeks of practice mighty McArthur House sang their way to the top, proving that we are No.l on the country charts at least, singing She's my Ute in the Large Group and Any Man of Mine in the very large and very female Small Group.

The Instrumental Group's rendition of The Beatles' Get Back finished off the program nicely. Thanks must go to Simon Clark for his 'musical?' direction and to the Mackie boys for their exuberant contribution to the Large Group. Thanks also to Hannah Jankiewicz for Small Group organisation and to Melissa Tan for the Instrumental Group.

Our Musical talent didn't stop there. Thanks to the SRC, there was an inaugural house chant competition on Athletics Day. Like other houses we made up a house song (well, Campbell Ferguson did) and sang it loudly - if not tunefully - in the break of the program. Once again with Simon Clark conducting, we crushed all other houses leaving us clear victors.

At least that was some compensation for coming a close second in the actual athletics. After leading through the afternoon we were disappointingly pipped at the post by fast-finishing Calvert. We did have three age group champions: Megan Bell, Sarah Johnstone and Claire Wood (again); Nick Bridges was runner up in his age group. Unfortunately, College Athletics Captain Lucy Cummins was injured and unable to compete for the House, but we can still dream of what might have been.

In other activites throughout the year McArthur performed well. We fulfilled all of our sporting commitments and performed with credit. Even our first McArthur soccer team nearly made it to the finals. The girls' basketball team (with Megan Bell, Alysha Minnie, Jess Koch and Emily Haylock leading the way) dominated and won convincingly in every match they played, and our boys' basketball team won their first match in nine years. On a similar note, the mighty Year 12 debating trio of Mayes, Donaldson and Hodgson won their first debate for the four years they've been prepared to take on that task! The team of Tom Forbes, Dana

Wolfenden, Dianne Bath and newcomer Amy Nail took out the Year 11 debating championship, and the Year 9 foursome of Georgina Thomson, Kara Bell, Lucy Forbes and Claire Wood (for the last time) have made their way into the Year 9 finals.

This year has definitely been a year full of change, but this didn't stop us putting in the same genuine effort for which McArthur has always been known. We achieved well because the whole house was prepared to have a go, and I wish there was space here to mention everyone. Finally I would like to thank all house prefects and tutors and Mr Gallus for leading the house for the first time.

Keeping with our theme of continuous change, he leaves that position in 1999, and we look forward to the arrival of Mrs Helen Fitzpatrick, our new Head.

Who knows what 1999 will bring? We are sure, though, that McArthur will continue to lead the way. We leave wishing everyone the best in the new year.

As is the custom, before writing this report I decided that a quick flip through the Pegasus reports of other years was in order.

The common thread running through all of these reports was the spirit displayed by McLean house members, and their willingness to participate in all house activities. I believe that these are the qualities which have been most outstanding in McLean throughout 1998.

The best example of the McLean spirit was displayed by the house sport. In many competitions, McLean competed with undermanned or understrength teams, yet managed to achieve some commendable results. The House rowing team displayed this, comprising a team that was small on rowing experience but big on heart. The girls managed some success, but the boys were out-muscled by stronger competition.

This years cross-country provided participation levels which must be McLean House, if not school records. Only four people did not compete, and all with worthy excuses. However, some house members, such as Matt Goldsworthy and Bindi Menzies, showed that Mclean also had some talented long distance runners.

Swimming, which is usually met with as much enthusiasm as the cross-country, was yet another event in which participation was the word of the day. New kid on the block Nick Braun made a name for himself as he tore up the pool.

The Basketball teams were a combination of participation and success, with the girls participating, and the boys enjoying the success. Labelled as 'freaks' by opposition teams, the boys won the premiership with amazing performances from Steve Morgan, Ben Nancarrow and Lach Strong. The girls did not enjoy such success, but they showed that McLean will never give in, with Captain Josette showing her usual fighting spirit.

Netball proved to be McLean's game, as the Junior team, coached by Emily Kilpatrick were narrow runners up. Players such as Liv Tough, and Katrina Dennis among the best players. The senior girls also managed to finish in the top half, playing very well.

The cricketers were not as successful as hoped, and after a memorable win over Wettenhall, we were unable to secure further wins to make it to the finals, despite marvellous performances from James Polkinghorne, James Kilpatrick, Charlie Dennis and Steve Morgan.

The senior house tennis team, consisting of Matt Goldsworthy & Angus Ward, Sarah Kelly & Jo Tough, and Em Kilpatrick and Lach McCallum, took the title in fine style, adding another trophy to the McLean hoard.

The footballers were defending last years title, and were stopped from achieving back to back titles after the full forward missed the winning goal from 37.28cm out. No names need to be mentioned as Lachlan knows what he did. Despite the loss, Ashley Freind and Mark McGugan showed that they could match it with the big boys.

The inaugural house soccer competition began this year with little fanfare, but quickly became one of the most coveted prizes in all of house sport. This competition started the biggest soccer craze ever seen at college, and created a great deal of interest. The McLean team was led ably by Marcus Lambert, but unfortunately were unable to make the final. However, the whole team displayed ability, even those who were not regular soccer players.

McLean fielded an underpersoned (politically correct) side

in the mixed hockey competition, and learnt the valuable lesson that winning isn't everything. However it can be said that we did set some goal scoring records, it's just that we were on the receiving end.

The softball team was also hindered by lack of numbers, yet displayed some positive results. Ally Lean and Meredith were the star performers this year.

The Athletics Day held on the second last day of term three was the last opportunity for many years 12's to compete for McLean and we managed to get away to a flying start. However, we were gradually overtaken by the other houses, and finished midway.

Finally, I would like to thank everybody in McLean for making this a very enjoyable and memorable year. In particular I would like to thank Ms Mahoney and all of the tutors for their wise words, open ears and the occasional slap on the wrist. I would also like to thank my fellow prefects, Lach, Bindi, Em, Tim and George. Good luck to all McLean members in future, and I hope the house brings you as much enjoyment as it did to me.

ANDREW MEEK - House Captain

Sport, however was not the only area where McLean talents were displayed. House music was a great success, with Jane Mitchell leading the way. The big group's spirited rendition of 'Slice of Heaven' was just that, and the small group sung a memorable version of Johnny Denver's 'Country Roads'. The instrumental group were the most successful, with their classical piece appealing to the judge.

Debaters were again the most successful members of McLean, with some very positive results from all age groups. Led by the able Tim Petersen and Ms Mahoney's guiding words they continued Mc Lean's dominance of the debating competition.

The first of the year's events was the swimming, in which all house members showed true enthusiasm to new head of house, Mr Conway. It was pleasing to find that 1998 would reveal a few new talents in the pool with outstanding juniors Kathleen O'Brien and Steve Pettigrove becoming age group champions. The overall results of the swimming were extremely pleasing, with the house placing second.

The cricket is something at which Morrison has always excelled. This was the case again this year, with our cricketers determined to show the rest of the field a thing or two. The boys reached the final as expected, and though they eventually placed second, they are to be proud of their effort.

As the summer competitions slowly slipped away, we once again made the trek down to the banks of the Barwon for the cross country. The ever-enthusiastic Morries managed to record some pretty good placings, with Liz Ryan finishing second, and Janey Gwyther, Richard Bremner, Tom Davis and Steven Green finishing in the top ten.

House Hockey was the highlight of the year for Morrison. The Tim Birks

team contained some exceptional talent, among them first players Richard Bremner, Nikki Gunawardana, Simon Ayerbe, with Michael Plunkett as goalie. The Morrison team proved their superior skill coming first overall, winning on percentage from Calvert. The whole team played extremely well in an excellent effort.

The Morrison soccer players put on an incredible performance in their first competition,and although the final was a draw, Keith won on percentage. The team should be proud of their effort; in particular, Jake Clark and Marcus Lee who both played well.

The annual house music competition is something in which all Morries take particular pride. After being unable to decide on a song for the big group, we eventually decided on the fitting 'Born to Be Wild' a week before the big performance. Lunchtimes were crammed with last-minute rehearsals, and though not everyone held this opinion, we knew that every practice was essential. We were the most entertaining act, but the quality of our performance was shown in our overall placing of last. However, the instrumental group, consisting of Sarah Roache, Anna Bradshaw, Marcus Lee, Jo Woodland, Estelle Chappie and Cathy Morris was our saving grace, producing a fine performance of the 'Schindler's List' theme, giving us hope that Morrison's musical future may not be as dim as its past.

The girls' and boys' basketball teams performed well this year, finishing third and second respectively.

The football, which has always been a Morrison strong point, again allowed our first class team to show their talents to the rest of the school. The best players included Tim Birks, Simon Wetherall, Martin White, David Murfett, Simon Ayerbe, Anthony DePasquale and Jake Fitzgerald.

The netball has never been a high point, however the junior girls showed that not all hope is lost for Morrison's netballing future, finishing third in an excellent performance, with everyone, especially Emma Dawson, playing well.

The Athletics were the last sporting event for the Morrison house, and our talent in the track events was something to be proud of. Sprinters Tom Davis, Janey Gwyther, Rich Bremner and Andrew Fowler all ran well, with Vic Bennet and Liz Ryan performing well in the throwing events to help the house to fifth place overall.

Debating was also a strong point this year - the Year 12s, led by school debating captain Clare Jackson, ended in third place.

The Year lis were our shining light and managed to place second in an excellent performance. The team of Liz Ryan, Michael Plunkett and Nick Lowe lost by only two points to Macarthur in an extremely high standard debate, with Liz having achieved best speaker for all previous debates in the competition.

Overall, Morrison has experienced a very successful year in 1998, and this stems from the general enthusiasm of house members as well as all the tireless efforts of the tutors. On behalf of the Year 12s, I'd like to thank all members of the house for making the year what it has been, as well as the tutors for their support and dedication throughout the whole year. We would like to express our thanks and congratulations to Mr Conway for his encouragement and hard work in this, his first year as Head of Morrison House.

We wish everyone in Morrison the best of luck for the coming years, and hope you enjoy this house as much as the current Year 12s have enjoyed the past years. It has been enjoyable knowing and working with you all.

We began by waving farewell to a nicely rounded Mrs Fulton as Shannon's Head of House and then waved a big hello to our newly imported Acting Head of House, Mrs Lean. The navy blues hit the Barwon in the Rowing, managing a brilliant second behind the green clad raging stags of Keith. Then Shannon flew in the pool, taking out number one position in the much-loved Swimming. This was largely due to sterling performances by Sam Lindquist, Tom Fallaw, Alana Brooks, Katie Leishman, Julia Torpey, Alice Hill, Shannon Carlson, Michael Hildebrand, and Dean Elliot.

Never a house to rest on its laurels, our lads dried themselves off and donned the creams for Cricket. In some top-notch innings, we gained a 4th placing in style, and retired to the pavilion. During all this, we somehow managed to show what a caring bunch we were by selling a massive 2100 carnations raising a grand total of

over $400.00, which we donated to the worthy folks at Bethany Family Support.

Term 1 finished, the weather turned cold, and term 2 began with the most anticipated event of the year, cross-country. A few fine individuals were prepared for their races, helping to lift us from the very bottom rung to a very slightly more credible sixth position. Sally Steel, Michael Hildebrand, Tom Fallaw, Sam Lindquist, Amy Young, Louisa Smeeton and Julia Torpey ran extremely well, all finishing in the top ten within their respective age groups. Anna Fitzpatrick won first place in the under 16 girls.

To make up for this rather dismal effort, Shannon decided to show where our true talents lay in Music. After many long and tiring hours we had decided to crush the opposition with our reggae version of 'Lean On Me', featuring the amazing vocal talents of Katie Leishman, Sarah Carey and Amy Young. We followed this with a perfect score for our African small group piece, and Hayden brought together an eclectic selection of instruments to produce an unusual, yet stimulating version of 'Pavane'. We won but were placed second on a technicality.

Shannon's quest for victory in the winter months continued.

We took to the field in footy and put in some fine performances, but ended as second best after the final whistle was blown. Top efforts came from Dean Elliot, Tom Fallaw, the Hilders brothers, Simon Craig and Tommy Butler. It was much the same story on the hockey field, with a well deserved win against Wettenhall and draws against Calvert and Keith, missing out on the final. Jordan Barr ran a Footy Tipping for the 2nd year in a row. He won the competition and then handed his winnings to the second place getter Richie Butler.

The senior and junior Netballers proved unbeatable on the court, defeating Keith and McLean respectively in the finals thanks to outstanding efforts from Angie Gibson, Edwina Blackney, Simonne LeGrew, Sally and Mandy Steel, Alana Brooks, Lauren Fleetwood, Pip Collins, Kate Paterson, Anna Fitzpatrick, Amy Young, Louisa Smeeton and Alice Hill.

Shannon softball team

Shannon's Debaters also had a successful year, with the Year 12 team, of Michael Hildebrand, Sascha Lawler and Kate Fitzpatrick showing their competence in debating, notching up a victory for the third year running, defeating Wettenhall by an awesome seventeen points. The Year 10's also did us proud, going down in a close final against McArthur.

and we know next year's bunch of Shannonites will continue the Shannon tradition of camaraderie, skill and dexterity undaunted.

1998 also saw the first ever Soccer competition being played.

The navy blues were rated a force to be wary of, however with an unlucky loss and 2 draws it was not to be. Our Basketballers' showed Shannon had what it took on the court as well as on the field, with the boys coming out with 2 wins, netting them a fine 3rd position overall, and the girls making a marked improvement on previous years efforts.

In the Athletics, Shannon was determined to win a first placing again to equal our previous year's effort. Some relays, 800's and field events held before the actual athletics day saw us in a close second position, however we could not manage to increase or hold this placing on the day, dropping to an eventual fourth ranking. Marcus Nation ran the 3000 again and Tom Fallaw, Renae Butterworth, Tim Allen, Anna Fitzpatrick, Dean Elliot, Sally Steel and Stewart Hamilton put in some fine individual performances.

We extend our thanks to all the Shannon tutors and especially Mrs Lean for leading us so valiantly throughout the year,

they were outclassed by some of the more dominant houses.

Wettenhall was in a strong position during the Cross-country, being placed 3rd at the halfway stage; however, we could not keep it up as we finished a disappointing 8th. There were some stand out performances namely, Stephanie Favaloro, Xavier Duthie and Nick Noble.

The motto 'It doesn't matter if you win or not, as long as you have fun', truly signified the year for Wettenhall House. Only one victory was achieved in the House system, that being our champion softball side. However 1998 was a year enjoyed by all those involved, with a strong sense of house spirit and pride evident throughout.

In recent years Wettenhall has become something of a force in debating and was again strong this year with 2nd places being recorded in both Year 11 and 12. The Year 12 team consisting of Chris, Dana and Eliza could never claim that elusive debating premiership, being placed second for the fourth year on end. The Year 11 team of Hahn, Mary and Georgie will look to go one better next year.

Christine Blair

The beginning of the year was exciting with many familiar names amongst the new recruits, creating high aspirations for the series of sports that were about to begin. The buddy system was once again established in the house community and was highlighted by the first, of what we hope will be, an annual buddies night at Pizza Hut. Year 9s were helped to personally develop by Mrs Foley who joined the ranks of Wettenhall following Mrs Tol's announcement that she had a new man in her life and she wanted to spend time with him.

First up for the year were the swimming sports. Our final position of seventh was not a true indication of how the house conducted itself with some strong swimming performances by Year 9s Meg Torpey, Sarah Stribling, Jonathon Friend; Year lis Troy Doak, Christie Fletcher and Year 12s Jeanie Luckock and Nick Noble.

The rowers raised a few eyebrows with a fantastic performance seeing them hold down third position in house rowing. This could be put down to Mr Curnow's strong coaching from the sidelines.

Our senior players let us down in what was a dismal house cricket campaign finishing as the cellar dwellers of the competition. Dane Balodis and Jacob Spolding played a number of good innings, while Chris Reichl bowled well throughout.

Sally Reid and Christie Fletcher won the girl's section of senior tennis, however this could not inspire the other players, with our final position being fourth. The senior and junior netball teams finished 7th and 6th respectively. Although they fought hard

Dana Ryan

The winter sports season did not provide the success we had hoped for. The football team had a red hot go and if it hadn't been for the softness of some of the senior players, we might have defeated Morrison and possibly won. However this was a far cry from our position of sixth. Solid performances were noted by Jacob Luca, Pat Miller and Gus Birrell.

House music is one of the most popular events on the calendar and this year was no exception. Most of us were still traumatised by our last years 7th placing rendition of 'Down on the Corner', so we looked to turn the corner. Unfortunately we only got as far as having 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Despite our song being selected only a few days before the event, we managed to finish 4th, leaving us to ponder what might have been, had we been better prepared. Tom Butters must be acknowledged for his fine voice and great timing.

The introduction of soccer into the house competition brought an exciting new change. The Wettenhall soccer team was a very skilful unit, but our inability to kick goals lead to our downfall and final position of fifth. Jian Bin Le left the opposition dumbfounded; Andrew Pettig played admirably, while Tim Waller dazzled with his Ronaldo-like goal.

During the year there were a number of other events within the house. On the social service front Wettenhall was very productive with a sausage sizzle that raised over $450 for the victims of the Papua New Guinea tidal wave disaster and the responsibility of sponsoring a World Vision child.

We were honoured to have Dr Wettenhall come and speak to

the house about his family history and the background of the Wettenhall Goats (or are they antelopes?). The period of time in which the Wettenhall family has been associated with The Geelong College is incredible and is continuing with Tom (Year 11) and Alice (Year 9) currently at the school.

Not for sometime has a year level expressed such a high degree of confidence, as have this Year 9s. Over the course of 1998 they proved themselves to be a very responsible, willing and not to mention loud group who enjoy the house environment. With their great enthusiasm they will produce a great deal of house spirit in the coming years.

The Year lis led by the talents of Christie Fletcher and Tom Wettenhall, the willingness of Cam Hart and the organisation of Peta Williamson, will ensure an exciting 1999.

It seemed that Wettenhall was destined to end the year on a high note by winning the last event of the year the 'Tug of War'.

After not losing a single tug Wettenhall reached the Grand Final against Calvert, but unfortunately we never got the chance to pull.

On the sporting field it could be said that Wettenhall is experiencing a rebuilding phase, however I am positive that in the not too distant future, Wettenhall will once again be a superpower.

applies to those involved in the community of Wettenhall. When Mr Curnow travels abroad in a year's time it will be hard to imagine what Wettenhall will be like without him, because for me Mr Curnow truly signifies what the House system should be. Mr Curnow's caring nature and concern for the welfare of each of his house members is a credit to him. As I finish here, I look at Mr Curnow more as a friend rather than a teacher. I still wonder even to this day how someone like him could be referred to as 'Mad Dog'. On behalf of all year 12's I would like to thank him sincerely and wish him and his family all the best in the future.

In Wettenhall, we are lucky to have a group of fantastic tutors and I would like to thank them as well for all their support and assistance over the past 4 years.

Finally we would like to thank the vice-captains for their support and hard work during the year as well as the other prefects. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dana Ryan for the way in which she has gone about the role of School Captain; she has acted as a tremendous role model for all other students. Good luck to everyone in the future.

1998, a year of change in Mackie House. Not only were there the addition of 10 new student faces, but also our new head of house in Mr John Claringbold and his family arrived. In addition, we also welcomed our new resident tutor in Mr Terry Reidy.

The boys arrived in 1998 to refurbished bathrooms, with showers now being an enjoyment instead of chore. We also welcomed the renovation of Warrin, with three new study rooms being constructed. This provided all members of Mackie the opportunity to concentrate on their studies, (except during the gas crisis!).

1998 proved to be a very busy for all, with many activities run during the year. Pizza Hut pizza's were tasted early in the year, with each year level group having Pizza on a designated Friday night with Mossgiel at Mackie. The year 12's went to Smorgy's for their feast. The Mackie boys invaded the Prep-school pool for the house swimming sports, with Mr Wood's tute group eventually being victors. A motor mechanics course was offered to Mackie students and proved highly attractive. Jack Eastman, Shaun McKenzie, James Christensen, Tom Jackson, James Urquhart, Tom Alston, Lachie Bull and Andrew Costin took up the course.

Mackie tutors organised many 'tute outings' with trips to the Go Karts, Movies, Zone 3, Timezone, Pizza Hut and McDonalds common occurrences. The Mackie/Mossgiel Trivia night was run smoothly by Mr Wood, with Andrew Morphett and Jono Van Hest's table being far superior for all opposition. Thunder Hockey, the equivalent to ice hockey, took place in the gym over the winter months with Charles McDonald and Tim Young's team winning after eight gruelling rounds of round robin play. Tim Birks was later announced player of the series.

One of the big highlights of the year was to come from the exhilarating Mackie choir performance at one Tuesday school assembly. This musical extravaganza of the 'Cottage Pie' song sent shock waves through the school's music industry.

Our music director Mr Phil Taylor prepared the boys' voices so well that there was a special request by the school to sing at assembly again.

Needless to say, this offer was declined!

Urbans/Rurals day came in September, with a close affair on the cards, but as the urbans squandered many opportunities, the rurals once again ran out victors. Best players for the rurals were Tom Allen, Angus Ward, Charles McDonald and James Kilpatrick, while Urbans were best served by Tim Birks, George Ritchie and Greg Allen. Mr Kayler-Thomson brought the boys from the CFA/SES to give demonstrations of their fire fighting and search and rescue units, which was a most interesting experience for all who attended. Footy tipping, organised by Terry Reidy, was a most successful competition, with Katie Duff, our American exchange student who knows nothing about football, eventually winning and tarnishing the boy's pride.

The Victorian shooting championships were contested at Noorat, with Cambell Carmichael, James Christensen, Lachie Bull, Jack Eastman and James Urquhart representing Mackie and the school. Both Mackie and Mossgiel attended the musical 'Chicago', through the support from the steer fund. This musical drama extraordinaire was a truly amazing show and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Terry Reidy and Mr Smith organised a 'culture tour' for some students, with a trip around Melbourne art galleries. It was a most 'educational' experience. The annual Mackie Man competition was once again admirably run by Mr Wood, with events being harder than ever, but the winner, a most appropriate one, in Sam 'The Mackie Man' Christensen.

Mackie was well represented in 1st teams with Angus Ward, Tim Birks (Football), Charles Dennis (Cricket), Tom Wettenhall (Tennis), Tim Farquharson (Golf-captain) and Sam West (Hockey) illustrating their sporting abilities with the schools other elite athletes. George Ritchie (VC), Tim Birks, John Carmichael and Shaun McKenzie all represented the school in athletics.

Academically, Tim Birks, Jono Van Hest, Andrew Morphett and Tim Young received excellent first round CAT results. The younger members of the house also performed commendably, with James Kilpatrick, Richard Drummond, Craig Scott, Phil Messenger, Ben Doyle, James Laidlaw, John Sawade, Shaun McKenzie and Tobias Van Hest excelling in their studies. Jono Van Hest also excelled in drama, along with other strong performances from Tom Alston, Lachie Bull and Greg Allen.

On behalf of all the boys in Mackie, we would like to thank Matron, Sister Cartledge and the medical staff, the tutors and the prefects, but most importantly Mr Claringbold. Taking over at the start of the year would have been a difficult task, but through his dedication, organisation, and his most friendly personality, he has excelled at his new task, and made the year a most thoroughly enjoyable experience for all of the Mackie lads.

Each girl was paired with year a 12, their buddy, who would be their source of information, help and support throughout the year. Certainly, the year began positively, with the few days of welcoming activities for children and parents. For those of us that weren't new, we were returning to a quite altered Mossgiel. A new unit was close to completion, yet it wasn't until the beginning of term two that girls were able to move into the impressive extension.

This year, as usual, Mossgiel has lived up to its name, as a place of fun and laughter, a family and a major friendship. Our Head of House, MOL and her husband Gary, have done a fantastic job in helping with the fun aspect, and she is always a dependable source of support and guidance for the girls. In 1998, many activities and outings have been organised by MOL and other Mossgiel tutors. In August the O'Loughlins took a group of girls to Mount Hotham for a skiing trip, and despite the disappointing depth of snow, it was a trip much appreciated by all the girls. Ms Frcek, our resident matron, was brave enough to host all twenty one Year 12s in her flat, (which is no mean feat,) for a fantastic night of movies and fun, and Ms Karis and her husband took her tute group of Year 12s up to Southgate for a most enjoyable dinner.

The other tutors have all provided their tute groups with great outings for meals and activities, as well as the multitude of times when the tutors organise impromptu activities for the girls who are in for the weekend.

Throughout the year, parents have joined us for various occasions, including the Boarder's tennis day, which was a great day for everyone. The Urbans vs Rurals day saw an exciting soccer match, in which unfortunately, the urbans were victorious. The Year 12s and their parents looked forward to their dinner at The

Max, with the O'Loughlins, to celebrate their time at Mossgiel.

Within the house, there have also been many activities that have kept the girls busy. A games night in the gym.showed Mossgiel's great participation and skill in sport. The Mossgiel Urbans vs Rurals inaugural debate, where the topic was: 'Girls in boots will go further than those in stilettos' was hosted by Ms Harriet Mestitz, and the mighty rurals showed their great debating skills to take out the prize. A drama night was enjoyed by all and the Mossgiel Year 11 and 12s played a fantastic match of football to win a wet and muddy game against the day girls.

As usual the smooth running of Mossgiel has been greatly helped by our extended family, including Murray at the Dining Hall and Sister Cartledge, who is ever ready to care for our health and well being. We were all sad to say goodbye to Sister Connolly, as she departed for Perth, but we welcome Sister Kemp into her place.

It is well recognised that the spirit of Mossgiel comes from the girls themselves, and as usual, everyone has contributed to make Mossgiel the place that it is. I would like to thank all the prefects and Year 12s who have shared the role of responsibility and support in the house, and a big thanks must go to Mrs 0 and all the effort which she puts into the house. I speak on behalf of all the Year 12's when I say that we will all be sad to leave Mossgiel and we wish all the Mossgiel girls the best of luck for the future.

I am very proud to report in this my last offering to Pegasus that the music program at the College has had another very successful year. The music program throughout the school has been busy with a record number of students taking part at all levels through from Campbell House to Senior school.

The Campbell House string ensembles, conducted by Mrs Kamburowski have rehearsed regularly and performed at assemblies, music evenings and the Foundation Concert. The classroom program has been varied with much singing and the use of marimbas and xylophones. Folk dancing has generated enjoyment at all levels. The Multi W class performed a lovely arrangement of 'Sally Go Round The Stars' as part of their work on space, and Year 3 children each wrote a melody for a poem for Halloween week. On Technology day, a highlight was a visit from Jon Madin who helped the children to make a variety of their own instruments. This culminated in an impromptu procession around the school, with Jon leading the way with his piano accordion.

The children were also fortunate to have visits from a senior school string quartet, wind quartet, brass ensemble and singing ensemble, which they found not only enjoyable but also inspiring.

'Big boys and girls can sing and play instruments!'.

The middle school concert band, conducted by Mr R Sullivan and the string orchestra, conducted by Ms M Keogh, have rehearsed regularly on Wednesdays and performed at assemblies, music evenings, the Foundation Concert and at Torquay Primary School. The string orchestra has also played at the JSHAA Biennial Concert at the Dallas Brooks Hall in Melbourne and at the Market Square in Geelong. The Year 4 and 5 string players together with

the Campbell House ensemble participated in a string workshop at Brighton Grammar Junior school.

The class music program in Years 4 to 7 has focused on many areas of performance and composition, with some interesting individual and group work being undertaken. The Orff tuned percussion instruments, including several marimbas made locally by musician John Madin, form a central core of resources for the upper primary program. Students have played a wide range of music whilst learning the fundamental skills of listening, rhythm co-ordination and decision making, particularly when improvisation has been involved. An instrumental ensemble has also been formed in each class, comprised of students who are having lessons on an instrument. Their work has been based on arrangements specially written for the different instruments and ability levels that are typically found in these types of ensembles.

The Year 7 program has also incorporated extensive composition work where students have utilised the keyboard laboratory to create original pieces of music. Some unique pieces were produced from students who have had previous experience on keyboard as well as from those who were beginners. Later in the year the students worked in small groups to create 'soundtracks' that explored less traditional forms of music, and included special sound effects achieved on synthesizers.

The new Year 8 elective 'Musical Instrument Maker' was popular with a group in each semester. The students worked with a variety of materials to create replicas of traditional folk instruments like drums, rattles and panpipes, and several students successfully made their own guitars.

The senior school music program has this year catered for more students than in previous years. The program offered included: singing, theory, aural, ensemble and solo performance.

Many students entered AMEB Practical and Theory exams; competed successfully in eisteddfods; performed and attended various concerts, (including assemblies, music evenings, chapel services and functions in the community) masterclasses and Music Camps. Our music students have strongly supported the House Music Competition and school plays.

Music Captain & Vice-Captains Adam Collyer, Melissa Tan, Emma Norman

Some outstanding ensembles have been produced through the Senior school Music program; the VCE Clarinet Quartet, String Quartets and ensembles, various woodwind, brass, classical and rock guitar, jazz, piano and vocal ensembles, culminating in

Term 4 with all music students combining in the singing for the Carols by Candlelight.

One of the concerts attended by our students was that by the Year 9 students as part of the Victorian Rural and Regional Access to the Arts Program, funded by the Victorian Government. The students travelled to Melbourne to see an Open rehearsal of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and were taken on a tour of the Arts Centre. This was followed by a visit to the Imax Theatre, which is the largest theatre screen in the world. The day was beneficial to the students and most enjoyable.

Vocal students attended a rehearsal of Opera Australia in the Iwaki Studios of the ABC South Bank on July 22. Ms Lisa Breen who teaches singing at the College and sings with Opera Australia enabled the vocal students to attend this rehearsal and view, first hand, preparations for Opera Australia's performance with the MSO. The senior concert band, conducted by Mr P Hannah, and the senior string orchestra, conducted by Ms M Keogh, have enjoyed a year of music making of a very high standard and their performances at the Foundation Concert were very well received.

The string orchestra has also performed successfully at the VCE Art Exhibition, Carol Service and the Meredith Art Festival.

The 1998 Stage Band has performed to good audiences at Senior school assembly, the Foundation Concert, the fund-raising ball for the Australian Jazz Convention at the Geelong West Town Hall and the Poppy Kettle Festival in Johnston Park.

This year's Jazz Convention is to be held at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre from December 26th to December 30th with the stage band being invited to participate. Because at least half of the band will be away on holidays, it has been proposed that a band be made up of current members plus players from previous years. So far the band is shaping up quite well and will be billed as The Geelong College Stage Band 'Then and Now'. The group's appearance at the convention promises to be an exciting event.

The band has performed at a high level and with enthusiasm.

Our three singers have added much to the character of the band with their distinctive, individual styles.

Mr B Edwards the Conductor of the stage band sincerely thanks Mr Roger Sullivan for his continuing support and excellent

musical input. My special thanks go to Andrew (Devo) Stephenson for his wonderful low notes and his untiring efforts as leader of the band.

One of the main highlights of the year for our musicians was the tour to Tasmania of the Concert Band, String Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra. Besides concert performances at Port Arthur, Salamanca Market in Hobart and Launceston, the groups enjoyed workshops and masterclasses with Barbara Gilby and Michael Fortescue and members of the Tasmanian Year 9 Brass Ensemble Symphony Orchestra and Mr Back: Tobias Van Hest, Mr H Hood Front: Timothy Griffiths, Tamara Woolley, Sarah Patterson Monte Mumford from Launceston University. The students also performed successfully in the annual concert of the Tasmanian Youth Music Council. These activities were very much appreciated by our students, as well as the sight seeing, free time and the good food provided by hosts.

The members of the school choir enjoyed a weekend of singing and fun at Campaspe Downs, Kyneton, working hard on the final touches to the program they presented at the Foundation Concert as well as new works On June 19th the RAAF Band performed at the Robertson Hall to a small but appreciative audience. The band covered a wide variety of styles of music and the audience was very well entertained. The VCE students were able to write a music review on this concert as part of their work requirement for VCE music Performance.

Also the College was very privileged to have a visit from Marie Bernadette Charrier from the University of Bordeaux, France.

Marie Bernadette is a Senior Lecturer in Saxophone at the University. She also conducted masterclasses with the saxophone

For me personally my involvement as conductor of the Symphony orchestra has been most rewarding. Having the opportunity to work with both staff and students in an endeavour to produce symphonic repertoire of a high standard proved to be both challenging and satisfying. Our repertoire this year included a splendid performance of Greig's Piano Concerto in A minor (first movement) featuring the Music Captain and talented musician, Melissa Tan. It takes many years for students to acquire the skills necessary to perform the repertoire of our senior groups and I congratulate them sincerely for their efforts.

Finally I would like to express my appreciation to the loyal staff and students for their support over the past seventeen years.

I would like to thank Melissa Tan for her leadership and organisation of the String and

1998 was a very good year, a year in which so much has happened at the school that it is sometimes difficult to remember all the things that have occurred in the HOG throughout the year.

We started 1998 by welcoming three new staff to the HOG: Mrs Locke, Mrs Fitzpatrick and Mr. Kayler-Thompson, or 'K.T.' as he has become. We also welcomed Ms Jan Reid, our new Art Technician.

The HOG continues to provide for the students of the College a place in which to pursue their creative interests out of school hours. Particularly pleasing for me, this year has been the interest shown in the HOG by the boarders. James Christensen has 'turned' his creative hand to wood turning and has left his farm at Woorndoo devoid of red gum. Working alongside him on many a night has been Dale Bruns who is never too busy to help other students around the HOG. Tom Alston has also been busy this year finding that the old farm scrap metal can be turned into some interesting pieces of sculpture. Earlier in the year, Tom won an encouragement award for his piece titled 'Beeaco'. Inspired by Clement Meadmore, an Old Collegian who has made it big in New York, Tom made good use of the welding facilities.

Emma Hardcastle, Amy Nail and Jo Grant all ventured over from Mossgiel during the year and explored the field of photography. The Boarder's Motor Mechanics class continued to be popular with the Year 9 and 10s and we thank Mr Williamson for running that class on a Wednesday night.

The school play is always a busy time for the HOG, and this year was no exception. A dedicated group of students helped over many lunchtimes to create the props that were required. James Allen, Tim Macauley, Jessica Boyd, Robert Chakir and Andrew McKenzie were a few of the many who helped. It was great to be involved in a production where so many students were part of so many areas of the performance.

One of the good things about the HOG is that students can work along side members of the public and that they can share in their experience and knowledge. This year we have continued to attract many new members, particularly students from other schools who want access to facilities and staff out of hours. The fact that the HOG can be utilised by our students and members of the public, seven days a week during the school term, makes it a unique part of our school.

This year senior textiles students were inspired by a visit, early in Term 1, to a very exciting exhibition of young designers called 'Evil' at Stripp Gallery in Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. They also had the opportunity to see European couturiers' designs at first hand in the National Gallery of Australia on the April Canberra trip.

Coupled with our studies of important fashion designers, students have developed a strong interest in creating their own fashion art garments.

A small but focused group of senior students also explored a variety of media to combine with their textile pieces. These included elements of photography, computer image manipulation, computer stitch design and wire manipulation.

Arts week exposed a large number of students to some exciting experiences available in Austin Gray Centre subjects.

Textile activities included the very popular screen-printing and stitching of 'Art and Soul' inspired cushions. The momentum continued in the classroom with Year 9 and 10 students showing great enthusiasm for their various projects and producing many excellent pieces such as the imaginative applique cushions made by the Year 9 students and framed cut back work produced by the Year 10 students.

The Year 9 and 10 Ceramic groups undertook many creative adventures into clay this year.

The Year 10 groups ambitiously researched and designed lamps based on the ideas of the Surrealist art movement. Students not only learnt to create the unique bases from clay, but also to solder and cover the individual shades with paper which complemented the base.

The canine theme enjoyed by the Year 9 students allowed them to sculpt and model their own ceramic dogs with more character than Grommit. Then to feed and water the local bird life, the students hand built, houses, castles, and intricate structures that challenged the traditional notion of a bird feeder. These quirky structures will surely be the envy of every bird that misses the chance to dine out.

Josette Loomes

The year 10's Dinner Party project saw a gathering of some of the most unlikely cast of characters around the Cloisters Gallery.

The students created convincing caricatures of 'Tubby' Taylor, a Vietnam Veteran and Mermaids to list a few. Over all much clay was modelled, sculpted, thrown on the wheel and creatively manipulated. Students also learnt black and white photography techniques and multi media applications, such as scanning and image manipulation with PhotoShop.

The Year 11 and 12 students had a challenging year, many tackling works on a large scale. Duncan Hallihan explored the world of the subconscious, Emily Kilpatrick making her large coil built pots with their colorful decoration, Kate Saleh creating works based on the Music Industry, Robbie Macafee made a number of gargoyles and Adele Pattison explored the role of the sea in her work. Louise Lochhead worked in the photographic medium and Josette Loomes found inspiration in her winged angels. All students achieved a great deal in the amount of time they had to produce their work.

It has been a great year in Ceramics and we look forward to firing our new kiln next year. Thank you to the Parents and Friends Association for making this possible.

We look forward, next year, to a bigger and better Ceramic Art experience.

1998 has been a great year for the students taking Graphic Communication at Geelong College. Four groups of Year 9 students started their Graphics with practical study in logo design and produced excellent drawings that were displayed at the Year 9 and 10 exhibition in June.

Adam Carlson

The Year 10 groups continued to expand their design horizons in poster, product and chart styles of drawing, using many different types of media. Computer, Printing and Photographic and Freehand skills were used with many different students attempting experimental skills with pleasing results.

Years 11 and 12 too extended their use of computers and technology in this area. Computer enhanced images have been used over a wide range of folios. The most pleasing results were in the Year 12 CAT 1 - Drawing Folio where many students built on the basic skills of PhotoShop learnt in Year 11 and 12.

Due to the persistence of many students, the work produced this year, was of a high standard culminating in the VCE Art Show at the Deakin Woolstores. The exhibition 'Breaking Out' was a great success with many glowing compliments on the standard of our student work from the school community and the wider public. This is a great opportunity for student work to be displayed in a Gallery context and I see this as a vital opportunity for the work produced to be given its due worth.

1998 has been a great year for both the development of the subject and the participating students. Wood Technology follows the Technological Design and Development course as it exists for VCE. This subject gives students the opportunity to express themselves creatively. Using the principles of design, and wood as the medium, students are able to construct different products using a variety of timbers.

This year, students in year 9 have completed several projects, including a butler's tray. This activity proved to be popular and was complemented by a theoretical study of materials used. The year 10 students expanded on their experience and knowledge of power tools to complete larger projects. They will complete their study this year by making designer furniture, specifically chairs and tables.

VCE students studying units 1 & 2 were enthusiastic and showed great desire to achieve a high level of excellence in the construction of their products. The results were diverse products such as a lamp stand made of recycled Redgum, a Blackwood writing desk, a Jarrah dividing screen, and a glass-topped coffee table.

Students of VCE units 3&4 excelled themselves. The design folios and products they created were outstanding. The students produced excellent articles for the CAT2 production. The products included a contemporary clock made from Pencil Cedar, an outstanding free flowing chair made from laminated timber which was bent by hand, a bag pipe box made with a variety of different timbers and a church pew Many of these articles are displayed on The Geelong College Fine & Applied Arts Home Page on the Internet.

1998 has been another successful year in the painting studio. The Year 12 class has been a joy to work with, and has produced some outstanding work. From Emily Chakir's richly expressive multi-panelled paintings, to Kate Fitzpatrick's exquisite and painterly still lifes, Peter Sullivan's little apocalypses, Andrew Swaney's poetic images of an industrial 'lost world', Jeanie Lucklock's subtle everyday abstracts, Sascha Lawler's interpretations on Byron's 'Lady of Shallott', Luke Pullin's Dionysian couples, Sophie West's Matisse-inspired still lifes, Adam Carlson's Apollonian basketballers, Timea Partos' suave and svelte vampires, Rosie Mackay's intricate odes to Alice, Peggy Fidge's 'Pop sensibility, to, last but far from least, Belinda Peardon's paeons to her native landscape, this has been one of the most gifted and dedicated groups of students I have taught.

The Year 11 class also produced some excellent work, and I look forward to another strong body of work from them next year.

The year 9 and 10 exhibitions have showcased some outstanding work from these year groups, especially the still lifes and 'Picasso Portraits' from the Year 10s.

The theme of this year's Arts Week was 'Art n Soul'. We were fortunate to have three artists in residence during the week including Air Brush artist Laurent Micardo, potter David Ray, and photographer Cricket Saleh. The focus of the week is to bring the activities of the Austin Gray Centre up to Morrison Hall and provide an opportunity for students to partake in these experiences.

Renee Butterworth - wood lathe

We were once again offered some exciting choices in the range of activities including wood burning, linocutting, pillow making, airbrushing, wood turning, ceramics and photography.

All proved to be popular with Morrison Hall near capacity over the four lunchtimes, and many visiting after school. A highlight of the week was the opening of the week in Assembly. We once again ran a six minute video of students working at the Austin Gray Centre and it was great to see so many faces enjoying their time in the classroom.

With so much of our school year structured about being 'busy', it was great to see so many students involved in the Arts and having fun in doing so. Special thanks to all the Austin Gray staff for their hard work and dedication during Arts Week.

Without their efforts the whole exercise would not be possible.

Special thanks to Mr Smith for creating his amazing selection of lino cuts, to Mrs Mitchell for creating her exquisite pillow designs and to Mrs Locke for firing all the ceramics.

Thanks also to Mr. KaylerThomson for the hundreds of hearts he cut out of wood and Mr Andrews for the hours he put in, developing the origami designs.

One cannot emphasise enough the importance of Arts week as part of the school year. It is a week in which the whole school community has the chance

to be drawn together in a mixture of social creativity. May the tradition of Arts Week continue for a long time.

The Drama students this year found themselves surrounded by madness and mental patients followed closely by bugs and bullies, whilst the greater community delved into the world of swords and seduction, loyalty and love, honour and heroism.

Nowra's 'Cosi', Dumas/Mestitz/Cochrane's 'The Three Musketeers' and Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' all enjoyed packed houses of very appreciative audiences. Within these three productions over 150 students participated at an extremely professional level with outstanding results. Confidence bloomed, camaraderie was paramount, ownership and pride sprung forth and friendships were formed and bonded by many fabulous memories.

Within the curriculum the Year 9 & 10 students started with issue based activities and explored areas that are relevant and important to them. They devised improvisations based on these ideas, explored conflicts and discussed possible solutions. They worked as a class, in small groups and often on their own, developing communication skills, looking at resolutions, stepping into other people's shoes and exploring the world around them.

The Year 10 classes devised a performance on 'The Many Faces of Bullying' and performed it for the Year 5 & 6 students at Middle School. It was a moving, funny and realistic piece of theatre, educating not only the Year 5, 6 & 10 students, but also the staff who were involved. The Year 9 students delighted the E.L.C. children with their storytelling, fairytales and their dreamtime interpretations and then the students joined to create drawings of their shared experience.

1998 has been an incredible year for all of us involved in the Drama Department and it is thanks to the wonderful talent and commitment of the students and the support and enthusiasm from staff and members of the school community. Special thanks must go to the Year 12 class who was fabulous in so many ways. We wish

you well as you venture out into the real world. We look forward to next years' theatrical extravaganzas and while we wait, remember, 'All for one and one for all!'

The Geelong College Year 12 production of 'Cosi' would have delighted Louis Nowra with its freshness, vitality and allegiance to the spirit of the play. Director Deb Hynes' choice of venue (the shed-like Evergreen theatre) as well as the set, costumes and props was exactly suited to the notion of a make shift space. By placing large actors on kindergarten sized chairs, she managed to imply the way mental patients are reduced by outside society's expectations of them.

There was an outstanding cast of talented young people: Gareth Ellis as Roy who aged miraculously to become a middle aged obsessive; Dana Ryan as Cherry who was both hilarious and when needed, threatening; Ruth played by Kiri Milsom was alternatively poignant and comic and Jarrah Gurrie's evocation of Lewis, the naive director found the right balance of despair and burgeoning enthusiasm.

These key roles were well supported by Peter Bothroyd's utterly convincing catatonic Zac and Robbie Macafee's uproariously psychotic Doug. Tim Driscoll is also to be congratulated on his touching portrayal of the stuttering Henry. Adele Pattison handled the romantic interest in the play most successfully. The director too, made a cameo appearance as Lucy, shedding years and experience with ease. Jonathan van Hest was a suitably inept Justin, sending up social workers in the 1960's and John Cotton's Nick was as arrogant and loathsome as was required.

The audience was moved from laughter to shocked silence and grief with skill. I have rarely seen a student production to rival the efforts of this talented band. Of the several productions of "Cosi" I have reviewed, this was the one that was most engaging and earthy and the one that most closely involved its audience.

He's a dung beetle.

He's just a dung beetle.

The central theme of this play is one of change and how people deal with change. In this story the change is quite absurd in the sense that a man becomes an insect and thus is unable to fulfil the expectations that the family have of him.

The recent Year 11 production of this unusual play was inspiring. It was obvious from the outset that the expertise of Ms Kelly Clifford and the enthusiasm of her team of young actors would shine through. They spent considerable time rehearsing, and this coupled with competent acting and excellent sound and lighting effects resulted in polished performances on both nights.

Teams of actors played the four major family roles to perfection. Transitions from one set of actors to the next were smooth, mainly because common mannerisms of the characters were incorporated as part of the repertoire. Actors were also free to include their own interpretations of the characters, so that the performance was still lively and convincing. For example the actors playing Gregor certainly conveyed his dilemma effectively without words, using appropriate sounds and movements.

Andrew Pye, Dana Wolfenden, Sarah Larkins, Tom Alston

The lodgers were also an essential component of the play.

They represented the fixation some people have for work. In their first appearance they were dressed in black business suits, and showed the expectations of top business executives. One's job is all consuming, there is no room for error, or enjoyment. Their second appearance was even more dramatic - clothed in exterminator suits they sanitized the living area. They were symbolizing our fear of change.

At the conclusion of the performance there was thunderous applause. The audience also enjoyed a discussion with the actors, and other members of the production crew. We look forward to seeing Ms Clifford's future productions with these talented young actors in the future.

Deb Hynes clinked the ice in her evening vodka and tonic round in the glass, "But what am I going to do for this year's school play?"

"You need something huge. Something epic. Something with courage and humour, flashiness, glamour..." mused her husband.

"Swordfights," added Ms Mestitz, refilling her wineglass.

"Corruption and villainy," said Ms Hynes.

"The Three Musketeers!" they all said in chorus.

"You can write the script," said Deb to Harriet.

"Why not!" said Ms Mestitz and refilled her wine glass. "I know just the person to help me... Liam Cochrane, winner of last year's English Prize."

Dana Wolfenden

And so the play was born.

From its earliest conception it was always going to be bigger than Ben Hur. Ms Mestitz and Liam refilled their wineglasses and toiled through Term One night after night, getting the script done.

And indeed, their vision knew no bounds. The cast was to come from both campuses. The music, provided by several talented student soloists, was to be augmented by a cameo aria from David Zierk. There was even a staff scene, where a drunken, unruly band was trouped out for public viewing. True to the spirit of the musketeers, it was a big team effort; "All for one and one for all!" was Ms Hynes' guiding motto.

The visual feast that made the final production such a triumph was the result of much labour and creative thought from a vast array of people. Jan Reid, Ms Hines and Ms Mestitz designed the set, which was then constructed by Mr Taylor's army of trusty wood workers. Those who visited the House of Guilds through the building phase will attest to the hours of work involved.

Meanwhile Jan Mitchell swung the Textiles Department into action, and brought all her design flair to bear in creating the stunning wardrobe required for the cast of thousands. Her thirty doughty assistants only just managed to finish the undertaking, with costumes still being whipped up within the final days of dress rehearsals! These achievements were truly a testament to the goodwill and effort of the many parents and staff who always so

willingly throw their support behind enterprises such as this.

Kelly Clifford doubled up on her role as a fabulous stage manager, to assist Ms Hynes with the lighting design. Jono Van Hest and Alison Lean and several backstage crew members, amongst whom figured Peta Williamson and Louisa Smeeton as makeup artists ably assisted Kelly in turn in her role.

Then there were the fencing lessons for the fearless musketeers, hired costumes to be organized for the lead players, months of taxing rehearsals, program and logo designs. ...Gentle reader, by now you will have grasped the scale of the project. As such, it was quickly recognized that Morrison Hall was inadequate for the task of housing the play, so it was held at The Performing Arts Centre, and what a production it was.

The leading thespians were drawn from all levels of the school, not just Year 12. Thus alongside the inspirational performances of Kiri Milsom and Gareth Ellis as musketeers, together with Jarrah Gurrie and Dana Ryan in lead roles, we saw the up and coming talents of Dale Cochrane as the infamous d'Artagnon (the only musketeer whose name we perennially all remember?) and Sam Percy in swashbuckling splendour. Tom Forbes, Jo Silcock, Anna Betts, Leanne Ryan, Edwina Dethridge and Shane Groom played our loved characters of moral virtue, set against dark forces of Michael Clayton, Peter Bothroyd, Susan McMillan and Adam Wightman, who combined to weave their dastardly web of villainy. The rest of the cast is too exhaustive to be mentioned individually, but the performances were uniformly wonderful, with the exception perhaps of the staff, who underwent interesting role changes with their students. " Don't worry," they were assured by the kids," if you forget your lines just look at us, and we'll take over and bail you out. You'll be great!"

All who attended the performances will remember its energy, style and lavishness. All who were part of it will remember the camaraderie, humour and inspiration of working with Ms Hynes and Ms Mestitz. And the question which lingers in all our minds is, "What does Monsieur Bazois do with fruit?"

Maiden's Endless Tears She turns in her sleep and upsets her bed of stones, only for a second. Just drifting through life, chasing the days, she seems content. In the soothing sunlight her smile glitters and dances like a crowd of minute fairies each holding a sequin. She never ceases running around and taking care of things, always on the move. Every once in a while she throws an arm upwards, as if to grab a cloud that will sweep her from the earth and sail her away. Her face is so calm and angelic, one that would fit so perfectly in heaven. She doesn't say much, keeps her thoughts to herself, makes you wonder what she's thinking. A mother to all, she feeds many on her journey. On her journey to nowhere in particular. She has such a strong character but still appears ever so delicate and seducing. Inside she's cold, but manages to satisfy any man who drinks from her naked body. Quite an unforgettable woman, as beautiful as they come, like those in dreams. Magical eyes that see everything. From the surface she looks so clear and in control, so quiet. But inside she screams, for she cannot swim and it's such a struggle. Drowning in her thoughts, in her mind, she sees no hope. And there's no end in sight, so she cries.

She cries endless tears.

Massive and Strong Threatening to strike.

Pounding and crashing until the shells wash up on the beach.

Dolphins gliding through the water.

Thinking it was a roller coaster ride.

Leaping and jumping.

I want to join them.

I dive under the waves as I hear them crash behind me.

Then I miss one.

It dumps me.

I churn and tumble like I am in a washing machine.

Finally I skim the water like a pebble.

Scenery As she glanced at the image before her, her eyes suddenly were magnetised in horror. She just couldn't tear them away.

The volcanoes, a great dividing range between the deserts, were ready to erupt, full and terrifying. The protuberance in the middle of the image revealed two huge caves, with thick dark trees growing in each. She saw two dark muddy lakes, swirling greens, browns and blues, with giant black rocks bulging from the centres of each. Surrounding the lakes, the valleys were dark and tired. Thick forests protruded from the high plains, before revealing a large desert with many closely ridged dunes.

On the edge of this expanse appeared a thinning forest of soggy, limp, discoloured trees.

Below the caves, she was horrified to discover an array of spiky grasses, prominent and ugly. Then, a deep crevasse that emitted a foul toxic gas, as well as displaying several misshapen white lumps. Inferior to this were great quantites of colossal dunes.

She sighed and stepped back from the mirror. Her face didn't look nearly as bad from a distance.

My Favourite Time of Day I once lived for the crisp sunny spring mornings, as a fish would live for water, or as mammals would for air.

The smell of new growth, the taste of a new day, all once filled me with joy.

But as I grew older, and my days grew longer, I turned to a new love.

Twilight.

Twilight fills the sky with a mist of colours, like a chimney pumping out blankets of thick soot.

But unlike the chimneys, Twilight fills the air with happiness, The celebration of the closure.

The warm sun blankets itself in the hard earth, promising a return tomorrow, And another evening show.

The debating season for 1998 was a successful and fulfilling one for all College teams. We can be confident we have performed exceptionally well and improved our public speaking skills along the way.

The second last round for the year was held on 3 June at Geelong Grammar where all the Geelong Region debates were held. D Grade lost to Sacred Heart; C Grade lost to Ballarat Grammar and A Grade defeated Geelong Grammar, with Katie Gladman awarded equal best speaker. On the 29 July, the fifth and final round of D.A.V. debating was held at Grammar. Six College teams prepared to debate, however, the afternoon before the debates were to be held three of the opposition forfeited. In the debates held, C Grade 1 defeated Ballarat Grammar; C Grade 2 lost to Ballarat Grammar and Hannah Lockie who debated very strongly, was awarded best speaker. B Grade 2 lost to Sacred Heart; D Grade, B Grade 1 and A Grade all won on forfeits.

Throughout the season, several speakers have distinguished themselves as contributing excellently to their respective teams.

There are several that have won best speaker awards and must be commended for their efforts; in D Grade, Claire Wood; in C Grade,

Hannah Lockie; in B Grade, Elizabeth Ryan and Tom Forbes, and in A Grade, Katie Gladman.

At the finish of five rounds, College had been placed well in the Geelong Region ladders. D Grade finished 10th out of 24 teams; C grade 1 and 2 finished 15th and 5th respectively out of 16 teams; B Grade 1 and 2 finished 10th and 11th respectively out of 17 teams. The A Grade team, consisting of Michael Hildebrand, Tim Petersen, David Keith, Katie Gladman, Sonia Hayes, Angela De Stefano and myself, Clare Jackson, remained undefeated all season, finishing on top of seven teams. We went on to represent the Geelong Region at the final playoffs in Melbourne. Unfortunately, we were not successful in getting any further in the finals competition. Last year, the A Grade team, (then in B Grade) was one of the top eight schools debating teams in the State.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Mahoney, Mrs Hildebrand and Mr Whittle for their tireless efforts in helping this year's teams to prepare for debates and in ferrying us out to Grammar to compete.

Four years ago my parents made me sit down and have a serious talk about moving overseas to go to school. I was very scared when I first thought about it. I knew that it would very hard to adapt to a different culture and the Australian way of life. After the talk, my parents thought I should learn more English and the best way to do this was to have private English lessons in Indonesia. They were right!

Geelong College. My parents had already told me I was going to live in the boarding house, which made me even more scared.

When I arrived in the boarding house, everybody was very approachable and friendly. After four years here, I still feel everyone is very receptive. I have made lots of friends and I will never regret my decision to come to the Geelong College. This last year has been the most memorable period of my life.

When I arrived in Australia in 1995, with my mother and grandfather, I was very afraid. On that very same day I came to the

MT BULLER AND MT STIRLING 1 9 9 8 On the 4th and 5th of March the Year 11 Geographers ventured off on the annual journey to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling.

Wednesday was spent completing a quite rigorous walk up to the summit of Mt Stirling and across to Mt Buller village. Many observations and fieldwork activities later, and despite howling winds followed later by rain, we made it back to the village for a hot chocolate or two! Then we travelled down to Merrijig Lodge for a well-earned swim and spa. Guest speakers from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and La Trobe University entertained us with tales of the Mountain Pygmy Possum and the

impact of recreation on the alpine environment. Thursday morning 6.00 am brought the start of a day spent exploring the Howqua area on horseback. Led by Chris Stoney the group survived (and enjoyed) many river crossings and steep climbs to examine the history of this area. Finally we embarked on our return 4 hour coach ride to Geelong to complete our fieldtrip.

Participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme continues to grow as students move from one level to the next and new students enrol at the Bronze level. Alison Lean undertook the Gold Award during the past 18 months and completed it in time to receive the Award at Speech Day and to attend the special reception at Government House where all Gold Awards for the year will be presented. This award is the highest level and to achieve it requires significant effort in no less than five areas of endeavour. Allison has been involved in the State Emergency Services (Community Service), been an outstanding contributor to

Hockey at the College (Physical Recreation), undertaken study in languages including sign language for the deaf (Skill) and enjoyed a number of challenging hikes in some great locations (Expedition). She also spent a week at the Lady Somers Camp to complete the Residential aspect of the Award.

Thanks must go to Mrs Brown and Mr Claringbold for organising and supervising the trip.

CHARLES GALBALLY

Jane Mitchell, James David, Andrew Pettig, Nick Tischler and Brett Owen all completed their Silver Awards in 1998. Nick and Brett had already completed the Bronze level. All have commenced on the Gold level and Nick is looking forward to the Federation Peak Expedition as a fitting test expedition to complete his Gold Award.

A number of students have been working towards the Bronze award during 1998 and should finish late in the year or early in 1999.

Of course the expedition aspect is the area which students look forward to the most in the 'Duke's Award' and some exciting ones have been completed this year. A number of groups have ventured into the Wilson's Promontory National Park, while others have been to the Howqua, the Grampians and the Otways. Tim Macauley led a group on a gruelling bicycle expedition through the Western Districts during the September holidays.

Congratulations to all who have completed awards this year; it is a credit to your initiative, organisation and perseverance.

On Friday 1 May, all Year 11 Biology students and staff set off on a 3 day Biology Trip to the Little Desert National Park in Northwestern Victoria. We stayed at Little Desert Lodge with Wimpy and his wife. Wimpy is an expert on the Mallee fowl and every other aspect of the Little Desert. He had no qualms about sitting you down and sharing all his detailed knowledge on any question you might ask him.

After settling into our rooms and fighting over the bunks, we all piled back onto the bus we had so recently left, and travelled to Wimpy's Mallee fowl mound. Here we took notes as Wimpy explained the complex lifestyle of these remarkable birds. Back to the lodge, where we settled down to a delicious dinner before watching documentaries and slides with Wimpy, sharing more of his never ending knowledge on the Mallee Fowl. That night we were given worksheets by the teachers and told to "get as much as possible done tonight", which not many of us did.

The next morning, we rose bright and early, before boarding 4-wheel drive vehicles to go on a life threatening ride, down winding tracks, through mud and over potholes, until we reached the Heathland area We spent the morning cataloguing and recording the various desert plants and doing a variety of soil tests.

We drove to a nearby Red Gum Swamp area for lunch. After lunch, Wimpy gave a brief talk and demonstration about a bird banding project that is collecting data on native birds. We then set down to the task of collecting our plant and soil data on the area. During the ride home, we stopped at various places to regard the landscape and learn more details that would help us in our investigation.

That night most of us were up very late trying to complete the "unreasonable" amount of work our assignments required.

(We should have taken the advice given the night before). The next morning the teachers encouraged us to go on a pleasant 2 km stroll through the desert. After 2 hours of walking, cursing and

tripping over, we finally realised we were 10km from our original destination. Everyone was tired, hot and very annoyed. After calming ourselves down, we turned back and began the long trek back to the lodge where we received a good lunch, a well deserved rest and a bus ride home.

Overall, the camp was a great experience, and many thanks must go to Wimpy and his staff at Little Desert, and also Mrs Oates, Mr Young, Mr Carroll, Mr Harris and Mrs Lethbridge for their help and advice.

The continuing development of educational technology within the school presented many challenges this year. The use of graphical calculators in VCE Mathematics continues to grow and we are constantly amazed at the powerful mathematics contained within these small packages. The ability of the calculator to draw graphs and complete complicated calculations leaves students free to understand the nature and application of mathematical concepts being used rather than concentrating on the routine aspects. Computers also allow us to investigate a broad range of practical applications which would not otherwise be possible because of the difficulty and repetitiveness of the calculations involved.

After almost 20 years of committed service to the College, and to the Mathematics Department in particular, David MacBryde announced his retirement this year and left us in June. David has been a tireless member of staff who has contributed significantly in all areas of his involvement. In his earlier days he was involved in the writing of textbooks and his love for mathematical problemsolving led to some interesting challenges for all. His contribution will be missed and we hope that he is enjoying his well-deserved rest.

Another great loss to the department is that of Janet Nelson who retired at the end of 1998. Janet has been at the College for 15 years and has held a number of positions of responsibility, including Head of Mathematics for a year. In recent years she has

been the much respected Head of McArthur House. Janet has been an outstanding champion for equal opportunity and has been a marvellous role model for girls in Mathematics. Having completed post-graduate studies in statistics, her breadth and depth of knowledge in this area has been a great boon to the department as a whole.

Student achievements included the award to Peter Ryan of a Merit award in the IBM Melbourne University Mathematics Competition. This competition is extremely challenging and the award list is usually very brief, so this is an outstanding achievement. Results in the Westpac Australian Mathematics Competition were also pleasing again this year. The highest standardised score this year was attained by Nicholas Low (Year 11) closely followed by Dominic Crowley (Year 9). College students achieved a number of High Distinctions as well as pleasing numbers of Distinctions and Credits. This competition is held throughout Australasia and almost 600 000 students take part.

I would like to thank all members of the Mathematics Department for their efforts this year. It is a challenging subject to teach and they continually rise to the task. Thanks in particular to Alistair Deans and Joe Gilks who have been with us on a part-time basis in 1998.

CHINESE It has been a hectic year in Chinese studies, with a record thirty-two students doing Year 12 Chinese. A Sunday CAT preparation day included Chinese food for lunch and an exhibition oral exam performed by a Melbourne University student.

Year 11 students have entered the electronic age, with all of their oral work requirements recorded on the school's intranet.

Students download a model answer, including sound and text, and can then re-edit it in their own time at home.

Year 9 students participated in the annual excursion to Melbourne's Chinatown, including an exhibition of Chinese martial arts and a virtual tour of the Chinese settlement on the goldfields.

Highlight of the year for many of the Year 10 and 11 students was, of course, the tour to China, held during the June/July holidays. The students' Chinese improved in leaps and bounds, as they made their way successfully through a series of classes held by local teachers entirely in Chinese. We hope in the coming year to build a formal 'sister school' relationship with a school in China, which will lead to more regular exchanges and many exciting possibilities for students and staff alike.

FRENCH The French department has also been very active this year, with College hosting the regional Alliance Francaise competition.

It was pleasing once again to see so many of our students excel in this highly competitive activity.

Year 11 and 12 students were taken up to a theatre in Carlton and treated to Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' in French. Year 11

Mr M O'Donnell holding the skipping rope during Health Week celebrations

students also paid a visit to the Taltarni Estate, as part of their exciting unit on French winemaking. In so many ways, the language comes alive as part of the cultural setting.

Some students have chosen to explore the language and the culture even further, with a number of Year 9,10 and 11 students spending time in France this year, some up to nine months.

LATIN Latin continues to be a popular elective at the Senior School.

The beginners in Year 9 enjoy the challenge of a brand new academic discipline, and many older students continue to find Latin as relevant as anything else in an increasingly complex world.

Although there has been a slight drop in numbers in Years 10 and 11, six students took Year 12 Latin this year, after none in 1997.

This year's Year 9 group also proved to be quite large and enthusiastic, with a pleasing balance of girls and boys.

The Year 9 course was changed a little this year, with more emphasis on Latin composition and historical background. A new English-Latin Dictionary was successfully trialled and there are plans to extend this into Year 10 and perhaps even to make it available electronically in 1999. Laptops are being used increasingly for general notetaking, vocabulary and research.

Extra-curricular activities this year have included participation in the Victorian Classical Association Latin Reading Competition at Melbourne University and Ancient Greek classes for beginners at the College.

Once again the 1998 Artist in Residence Program has brought our students in all three campuses a rich and varied procession of visitors. The great thing about the program is that through it we are constantly bringing in voices from the "outside" world, and in this way providing role models and ideas for our students' futures.

At the same time, the program ensures that we don't become too complacent and insular within the green and pleasant confines of our school.

Everyone connected with Middle School enjoyed watching the work of Mark Trinham emerging on the East wall of the gym during Term 2. Mark, who has created many community artworks down the surfcoast, was given the brief of transforming the daunting expanse of dull, grey brickwork which faces the main carpark. The concept was to design and paint a mural that allowed for the involvement of the Year 8 students, and the result is a stunning panoramic vision of forested hills, stands of blackboys and a blazing sunrise. Flowers and native animals, designed and painted by the students, have been worked into feature circles at the bottom of the mural. What was really interesting was watching the delight of the students as they arrived at school during the painting of the mural. Clusters of onlookers would stop each day to examine the work in progress, identifying new elements as they appeared, and pointing out their own artistic endeavours.

Meanwhile, down at the Early Learning Centre, Denise Rundle from the Polyglot Theatre Company, brought music and drama into the classrooms with Esme Duck and her puppet friends early in the year, whilst later there was a visit from Barry Peters and Don Stewart with their "Happy Foot Band".

At Campbell House, a range of experts has stimulated the students. Anne Spudvilas, the children's book illustrator, came in during Bookweek in Term 3. Term 4 saw a selection of interactive, "hands-on" activities presented to the students through the CSIRO Primary Science Program, whilst earlier in the year a feast of entertainers and artists taught the students about the arts, food, music, dance and narratives of Asia. Gillian Eastoe's drama performance, "What Style" was shared with Middle School, as was the stimulating mathematical energy of Charles Lovitt, whose subversive approach to mathematics and computers makes you understand that figures and theorems aren't just irrelevancies in a textbook, but life altering and powerful tools!

This scientific thrust continued at Middle School with a visit by the CSIRO aimed at teaching the students the basic ideas of forensic analysis. Students were presented with the scene of a crime together with a list of suspects, and then led through a series of investigative forensic tests, ranging from plaster casts of footprints through to DNA testing, to establish the perpetrator and motive for the crime. Phillip Green (aka "Wild Man") also visited to disseminate his knowledge about the birds of Australia, examining their habitats and behaviour.

The biological theme was picked up at Senior School as well as Middle School with the week long visit of Jennifer Phillips, the highly regarded botanical artist, who unfolded the complex and astonishingly beautiful world of plant illustrations to our art students. It was indeed a privilege for them to have the opportunity to work with such a luminary figure in this field.

As always, literary greats abounded, with Gary Crew and Brian Caswell, both award winning authors of adolescent fiction, spending time in Middle School. At Senior School, our literature students also benefited from poetry lectures delivered by John Lewis, the Assistant Chief Examiner of Year 12 Literature, during their Orientation Week.

Drama has also been given,its due. The entire Year 9 cohort was taken to see The Bangarra Dance Company at The Geelong Performing Arts Centre, ahd delighted in their joyously uninhibited performance! whilst at Midfle School, Baron Matata told entertaining stories to the primary drama and French students.

Arts Week at Senior School was as wonderful as ever. Laurent Machado, an airbrush artist, inspired work of astounding quality from our students, even in the space of a week, as did David Rae the potter. Cricket Saleh, who had been in The House of Guilds working with photography students on several occasions throughout the year- likewise cheerfully negotiated her way through the never-ending queue of students lining up to have their portraits taken in her impromptu studio in Morrison Hall. "It's my favorite week of the year," was the recurring statement of the students as they walked in and out of the massive art studio that Morrison Hall now annually becomes in early October.

Harry Hood has once again been active in importing prominent musicians into the school (or alternatively taking our students to them). Monte Mumford, Director of Instrumental and Choral Performance at the University of Tasmania, worked with our concert band both in Tasmania and here in Newtown at various points in the year. Our saxophonists were treated to the talented teaching of Marie-Bernadette Charrier, an internationally acclaimed virtuoso teaching at the University of Bordeaux, who ran a day of masterclasses at Talbot St. whilst on a flying visit to Melbourne.

Eric Klay, trombonist with the MSO, spent a week working with brass students throughout the school, as well as with the bands and ensembles at both Senior and Middle School as they prepared for the Foundation Concert. Those of you who attended that night would have seen him adding a professional glitter to several items on the evening's program.

As always, the range of visiting scholars and artists through the school has been tremendous. We are fortunate indeed to have this program which adds such depth and colour to the educational experience of our students.

In the July holidays this year, 26 students from years 10, 11 and 12, along with four teachers, travelled to China for a threeweek study tour. The aim was to combine major tourist sights with smaller, lesser-known places, while improving our Chinese through a series of lessons and establishing links with two schools in China.

Our first stop was Beijing, the ancient capital. We spent four days here and visited many famous and important historical sights.

The Great Wall was built over two thousand years ago and extends for 6,000 kilometres. It took many years to build and was designed to keep the Mongols from invading China. The Forbidden City was the former home of the emperors of China and their families, along with 35,000 staff. It only became open to the public about seventy years ago. During their reign, the emperors and family rarely left the confines of the aptly named Forbidden City.

Servants often spent their entire lives within the walls, and members of the public were never allowed in. When we visited it, a torrential downpour drenched us, but this did not stop our enjoyment of a wondrous place.

While in Beijing we not only visited major tourist spots, but also traditional houses and dwellings of everyday people. The famous Tianianmen Square was a highlight for many of us. Its vast 52,000 square metres were overwhelming and we could see why it has been named the largest city square in the world. We enjoyed playing Hackie Sack, football, basketball and soccer with the locals in Tianianmen and just about anywhere else as well. The sight of a bunch of foreigners kicking a footy, Aussie rules-style in the shadows of ancient structures of Imperial China always drew a crowd of onlookers.

The Temple of Heaven was one of four temples built at the four corners of the city of Beijing to worship earth, sun, moon and heaven. Only one of those temples now remains, the Temple of Heaven, which was always the largest and most elaborate. In imperial times, only the reigning emperor would have been allowed to enter the temple in order to offer sacrifices to Heaven to pray for a good harvest. Also whilst in Beijing, we found refuge from the stifling 33 ° C heat and sweltering humidity by visiting a traditional teahouse and hearing Beijing Opera.

Dandong is a town north east of Beijing. It is a small town

by Chinese standards, with a population of about 500,000 people.

It took fifteen hours on an overnight train to get there. Not a lot of sleeping was done, however, as the narrow bunks resembled slabs of cement, and the stewards seemed to think it would be a good idea to turn off the air conditioning. Dandong is located on the north side of the river that separates China and North Korea and we took a boat ride to see the bridge that was bombed by the Americans during the Korean War. Another town that was visited was Shenyang, which is also located in Manchuria. The city is famous for its Forbidden City used by the Manchu dynasty before they conquered all of China.

It is not as large as the one in Beijing, but still very beautiful.

A major component of our tour was, of course, shopping.

Not only did we visit major department stores, but we also had a lot of fun bargaining with street-sellers who sometimes found it hard to take no for an answer.

Shanghai was many people's favourite part of the tour. It is the biggest city in China and one of the largest in the world. A highlight in this city was The Bund, one of the most famous water

front streets in the world. It was night when we arrived from our flight south from Shenyang, and an image that will remain with many of us for the rest of our lives was the sight we saw as we drove from the airport to our hotel. Through a sea of neon lights and rivers of traffic, we swept up over a hill and round a corner to see the Bund spread out before us; the great old European buildings on the waterfront lit up with yellow and green lights and crowds of people lining the river, enjoying the warm evening. In Shanghai we visited a Kindergarten, and established what we hope will be a sister school for Campbell House.

We arrived in Jimei on the 10th of July, to spend six days in a small, ordinary town, away from the grand scale and imperial influence of many other places we had visited. We attended several short classes, presented by local teachers who didn't speak any English, in order to improve our Chinese speaking skill. We also visited some of the teachers' homes to see what an average household in China is like. We established a link with Jimei High School with the hope that in the future teacher and student exchanges may take place.

Our last stop was a flying visit to Guangzhou for just one night before we made the return nine-hour flight to Australia on the 18th of July. Overall it was a fabulous tour, incorporating a wide variety of sights and experiences and an insight into the many layers and diversities within the country of China.

On behalf of the group I would like to sincerely thank Mrs Black and Mrs Coghill and especially Mr Keating for organising the tour and making it such a diverse and interesting experience.

We were bound for the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Canberra. Upon arriving at 5:00pm Mr Wood immediately suggested that we go for a "leisurely" run of 3 km around the Institute. We shared dinner that night with some of the greatest Australian athletes, which became a regular event.

Matches and training were intermingled with some sightseeing including: Questacon, the National Gallery, the High Court of Australia, Parliament House and the Defence Force Academy. We also fitted in more leisurely activities such as golf at

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE COLLEGE COUNSELLOR I would once again like to take this opportunity to thank those individuals who have trusted me to be involved in their lives during this year.

When contemplating writing an article about my role for Pegasus, I wondered how I could communicate what happens in my office so that it would be both informative and respect the confidentiality of the people who visit me. I decided after reading an article in the Age that a 'day in the life' would be a safe way to go. The following is a summary or blending of the people in a day.

It was a busy day. Things have been juggled to protect those involved and donit refer to a specific individual or group.

• The Start of the Day. Visit the ELC to discuss with the teacher a child's behaviour.

• Walk to Campbell House and meet with a classroom teacher regarding the cognitive assessment of a student.

• Meet with parents to discuss this child's developmental history.

• Discuss with other staff who teach the child.

• Drive to the Middle School for the fortnightly Year Level Coordinators meeting.

Gungoolin, ice-skating, with a highlight being "bob and bowling" in Tuggeranong.

The results of the matches varied. We began with a good win over the Vikings, before being brought back down by the ACT U/18 state team. Fergus damaged his ankle in a spirited training session before our next game and after a trip to hospital took no further part in the matches. We finished with a narrow loss to the Minstrels, followed by a good win over the Rats.

The trip was a huge success and thanks must go to Mr Wood and Craig O'Brien for organising the trip and trying to keep us out of trouble in Canberra.

BEN NANCARROW

• Meet with a student and discuss how s/he has been going with his/her friendship problems.

• Some admin time to catch up on the writing of assessment reports.

• Phone call from parent of a student who is quite distressed over a recent parent-adolescent conflict.

• Phone call from parent who is concerned about their child given their performance at school. Make a meeting time.

• Drive back to Senior School and attend lunchtime Heads of House meeting • Take a Year 10 personal development class on Grief and Loss.

• Meet with a student regarding his/her recent loss (e.g., end of boy/girl friendship, separation of parents, etc.)

• Go back to my office and check the e-mail. Respond to a parental request for information on their child's results.

• Meet with a student on how to best organize themselves for Year 12.

• After school meeting with a parent and a teacher from special education department. The formal end of the working day.

• After dinner make a phone call to a student's parents as they both work and it is difficult to catch them during the day.

During the 4th week of 3rd term all Year JOs participated in the Work Experience program. Most of us were excited yet cautious of what lay ahead of us during this week. We all hoped that this week would give us a good insight for what might lay ahead in our careers.

Personally I wasn't looking forward to this week. I thought this week would be the most boring and laborious in my life, and didn't think I was ready for the big jump into a workplace. It was hard for me to wake up and be motivated about my first day at work however, within 20 minutes of starting work, I knew my pre work experience assumptions were wrong. My time at the Ford Motor Company was close to being one of the best weeks in my life. Every task I did gave me a good insight in how big multi national companies like Ford operate, and it also showed me that the small things in the workplace which I performed can help lead into bigger projects. My week was full of highlights, however three things really stood out for me.

Firstly I was lucky enough to witness job interviews for places on the production line in Geelong. This was very beneficial for me as a person because it showed me what an employer wants when interviewing a possible future employee. If you're well presented, have a firm handshake and talk with confidence, you're well on the way to impressing your future employer.

Secondly I was given a tour of the factory with new

employees of Ford. The tour of the factory was an experience I'll never forget. We walked around the factory for 2 hours seeing every little task being performed. The tour also showed me how everyone at Ford seems to work as a team and everyone, no matter what you do or no matter how much you earn, all take part in successful running of Ford.

Thirdly the thing which I benefited from the most was when I went up to Melbourne to witness an Industrial Relations case against Ford. I believe I was very lucky to see this because not many people my age have been able to witness industrial relations case. This experience really showed me how a big company like Ford deals with problems within its system and it showed the legal side to a big commercial company.

The Work Experience Week, I believe, is a great idea. All Year 10s gained invaluable experience from the workplace, made friendships and learnt to get on with people better. It's safe to say that most of us weren't looking forward to getting back to school and we all matured considerably through our workplace experiences. For me personally Work Experience was the most enjoyable week of school I've ever had and it gave me great memories that will live with me forever. Ford showed me how to 'Live it'.

This year at Wollangarra, the Year 9's experienced extremes of weather and some incredible scenic changes. The first camp walked the aftermath of the Gippsland bushfires that had burned for 3 weeks in the Mt. Reynard area, leaving an eerie impression on the landscape. The weather was hot and dry and water was scarce.

By the fourth camp at the end of Term 1, new shoots of bright green contrasted on the blackened stumps and made walking a lot more comfortable.

By the last camp, Gippsland had seen floods that had the MacAlister River lapping at the edges of our lodgings and the temperatures had dropped distinctly. Along the Crinoline we walked in icy conditions and a smattering of snow completely changed the face of the area.

Our guides this year were Liz Leyshan, Lucy Malady, Doug Lockey, Jeff Bennett and J.A.M.S (Jessica, Ant, Meli and Sarah Mair - the new directors of Wollangarra), all of whom added their own little idiosyncracies to the mountains and to the Year 9's who experienced Wollangarra.

MRS P PORTER

At 2pm on Saturday the 17th of October twenty Year 11 boarders from Mackie and Mossgiel set out on a bus trip which was to take them to Aireys Inlet. We were accompanied by Mr Claringbold, Dr and Mrs O'Loughlin, Mr Hamilton, Mr Sloane and the three exchange students, Anthony, Simon and Wendy. After unpacking we set about exploring the camp and it did not take us long to figure out that there was not much to do, (in other words there was no way in which the Mackie boys could cause mischief).

That night we had a barbeque dinner and went to the games room to listen to a speech by Mr Kayler-Thomson. At this time we also participated in group problem solving activities to find out who had more brains;of course the winner was Mackie. We then retired to the lounge to talk about the day that was and finished with a relaxation activity held by the counsellor, Mr Hamilton. This was the end to our first day.

The second day comprised mainly of group discussions with Mr Hamilton. We discovered what we should do, as leaders, in certain situations. We came to the conclusion that listening and trying to compromise a win-win situation was the best way of handling disagreements. We simulated predicaments that we, as leaders, may be asked to mediate. This included persistent males lusting after an old flame and boys on a footy team hassling one another. This resulted in some very noisy arguments and quite feeble attempts at peer mediation! However, we did discover that it is best if the mediator avoids taking sides with either party, while listening to both sides of the argument. This is difficult, especially if the mediator's friends are actually part of the session.

We delved into this somewhat, discussing what to do if our friends were involved in a serious matter that needed the attention of someone in a higher position. We came to the conclusion that it was best not to try and handle the entire matter ourselves, and ask for the help of the prefects or house captain when unsure of

how to reconcile the situation. They can then give advice on whether to take the matter to the teachers or to keep it within the boarders.

We also discussed the positive and negative sides to this year's leaders in the boarding house- the Year 12's. We decided to try and abolish outdated traditions by introducing more fun activities for the younger boarders. We also wanted to make ourselves as friendly and approachable as possible in order to break the gap between the 'big' Year 12's and younger year levels.

This was a very productive session as we learnt what it really does mean to become a good leader, and also how to behave when difficult circumstances arise.

We played some games organised by the exchange students.

The cultural differences in '40-40' were quite amusing and some heated arguments (abated by our peer mediation techniques, of course!) occurred. We played on the ropes course, with Janet Lang proving to be the sole Mossy girl who was able to complete the entire course. We also participated in some group activities that involved passing Cambell Carmichael (minus a shirt) through an electric fence!

Overall, the camp was a great success. We learnt aspects of our personalities we never knew before and how to effectively use these traits in a leadership position. It was also a great way for Mossy girls to get to know the Mackie boys a little better without school work or classes as distractions.

We'd like to thank Mr Claringbold, Dr and Mrs O'Loughlin, Mr K-T, Mr Hamilton, Mr Sloane and the three exchange students, Anthony, Simon and Wendy for helping organise the camp and the activities we participated in.

Group Leaders - Peter Betts, Penny James, Mr E Black, Mr D Hibbard

On the first Monday of the September holidays a group on College students under the guidance of Mr Hibbard and his helpers, Mr Black (current parent), Penny Tomes and Peter Betts (past students) departed Melbourne Airport on Qantas flight QF35 bound for Christchurch NZ and eventually Queenstown.

Timothy Black

The obvious highlight and reason for this particular trip was the snow. We spent six days skiing, snowboarding and wiping out on the snowfields of both Coronet Peak and the Remarkables. On both mountains it was the 'Terrain Park' that gripped the snowboarding contingent of our group. Lloyd Davies, Justin Pegg, Tim Allen and Sam Stow cleared every jump, mound and edge on the runs whilst applying mathematics and physics to the task of trying to time their runs to ride the same chair back up the mountain. Also conquering every run, trail and Off Piste track the mountains had to offer, were Torben Andersen, Aaron (Scott) Perry, Tim Black and Andrew MacKenzie. These four as both individuals and in groups, demonstrated confident and competitive skiing, whilst taking no time out to smell the roses as they cruised down the run, demonstrating balance and finesse.

Throughout the days as the runs softened up, the sun would usually sit high in the sky and looking out from the mountains we would see blue skies resting abreast the spectacular snow covered surrounding alps of New Zealand. The trip saw the development of Georgie Corke and Cam Galbraith on skis and snowboard respectively.

Both were novices prior

to the trip and developed at a rate that surprised all of us to the point where they were falling less and getting down the same runs as the rest of us. Also enjoying the adrenaline rush of turning the spectacular scenery to a blur were Anna Betts and Breanne Jackson who could often be seen carving down the snow covered runs at speed.

Back in Queenstown we stayed at Sherwood Manor which was dubbed 'Sherwood Forest' by all the local comedians who doubled as Queenstown bus and taxi drivers. The hotel was less than an hour's bus ride from both the Remarkables and Coronet Peak and only a short taxi trip or a long walk into town. The hotel was well set out with the group divided into rooms of four beds where we could collapse to watch the in house movie or play cards as we recovered from the day's skiing. The meals, whilst on the smaller side, did replace expended fat and carbohydrate stores, and the hotel restaurant quickly realised its mistake when it offered a buffet to a group of hungry Australian school students. The inseparable and at first indistinguishable duo of Nick Gilchrist and Doug Eden ensured that if we only got one buffet they were going to make the most of it.

On our final day in Queenstown, after skiing the Remarkables in the morning, we headed out to the Shotover River. Here we donned spray jackets and life jackets and enjoyed the Shotover Jet boating experience of missing rock walls by mere millimetres and turning 360 degrees, whilst feeling G forces and getting saturated by the murky waters of the raging river.

Ice cream doesn't appear in our freezers, homework doesn't complete itself, and a group of students don't find themselves skiing in New Zealand without intensive and dedicated organization. With this in mind I would like to acknowledge, on behalf of the group, the contribution of Mr Hibbard without whom this trip would not have been the great experience it was. Also I would like to thank Mr Black, Penny Tomes and Peter Betts for being ready to step in and be responsible had anything gone, wrong. Finally as one of three Year 12s on the trip, I must thank Lloyd and Justin for the many towels, wake up calls, and surprises. The group headed for New Zealand as people from the same school, but returned as a group of friends.

VICTORIAN INTERSCHOOLS SKI CHAMPIONSHIP

of division in both boys and girls, Geelong College was represented in 4 snowboarding division, 14 Alpine and 2 Moguls.

This Year College took a huge team consisting of 50 students ranging from Years 3-12, to compete against other Victorian schools at Mt Buller. This team was one of the most impressive yet.

Maybe this had something to do with the more organised preparation leading up to the event.

Six weeks before the Interschools, a night for parents, staff and students involved took place in Robertson Hall at Prep School.

The night's purpose was to bring a little team spirit amongst us, and to inform all what was going to take place in the future.

The night entailed short videos on snow safety, the Interschools itself and the history of Geelong College in it. We then all met each other to familiarise ourselves with team member's faces. Marlon and Sophie then lead the team through some good preparation stretches and strengthening skills that may prove handy on race day. To end the successful night we enjoyed tucking into a yummy B-B-Q put together by supporting parents.

Two weeks before competition, College held an optional training day for the members of the team, to get our racing standards up to scratch. It was a most enjoyable sunny day for all.

It gave those who hadn't raced before a taste of what racing was like when they completed a time trial run down the racecourse, after practising and training to do so all day.

The week had arrived and so had the people, but unfortunately the snow hadn't. With warm weather leading up to the Interschools, the early dump of the season was just lasting with very few runs open that would hold the certain racecourses.

This year over the six days of competition with a wide variety

In the Primary school divisions of 4 and 5 Christopher Jasek (Year 6) led the boys with a fantastic finishing spot at 14 out of 154 and the others placed well individually and as teams.

Some outstanding results in the Secondary were; Roxy Green (Year 8) who got better and better as the day went on, improving out of sight and taking out 1st place in the Alpine division, with her team placing a high fifth. Roxy also took out 1st place in the Moguls Division 3 against 41 competitors.

Jack Perry (Year 8) showed his talent placing 19th in a field of 223 boys also in division 3.

Rebecca Richards (Year 11) showed what an outstanding female snowboarder she is. Being the only one representing College she came a high 7th in a field of 39 in Division 1.

Sophie Farrow (Year 11) placed 27th against 138 other competitors, she and her team with mixed results ended up positioned well.

Marlon Law (Year 11) charged ahead once again, Marlon finished an amazing 6th out of 114 in his Alpine event, and 7th in his moguls.

Congratulations must go to all of the team. It was a gutsy effort all round. Well done to all those who competed for the first time. It was great to see you all enjoyed yourselves and come home in one piece. We look forward to seeing you all giving it another go and maybe giving the other schools a run for their money next year. Thankyou must go to the fantastic support of parents and staff, especially the efforts of Mr Hibbard.

1ST XI The season 1997 - 98 was not an overly successful one for the 1st XI cricket team, but I am positive that it was an extremely enjoyable and memorable one for all involved. With an inexperienced line up of only three players from last year's team, it was always going to be difficult playing against strong APS opposition.

After a series of practice games and some intense training, we all felt ready to take on the might of Wesley and Xavier in the one day games before Christmas. Unfortunately, we were defeated in both encounters, yet we came away feeling confident that we would fare much better in the two-day style of cricket.

After a close loss to 'power-house' Scotch College in the New Year, we were eager to take on premiership contenders Carey Grammar. We played the perfect game against Carey, setting them 235 runs to win Andrew Knott and Jon Hildebrand showed the way with 65 and 60 runs respectively. Dave Faris then proceeded to rip through the opposition line-up claiming 4/58. With 9 wickets down and 64 runs to get, it looked certain that we would walk away with a win. But it wasn't to be.

Despite not winning a game for the rest of the season, there were some impressive individual performances throughout the year. Wicket Keeper James Polkinghorne has grown leaps and bounds since being given the job behind the stumps. Andrew Knott opened the batting with great grit and determination, while Johnny Hildebrand sprang out of nowhere to average 21.7 with big scores of 75 N.O. and 60. Dave Faris has led the bowling ably backed by Andrew Knott and Anthony DePasquale. Sam Christensen has played 1st XI cricket for 3 years and I believe the big man deserves credit. He has been the one we looked to for a big hit, a good ball or just a laugh.

Unfortunately, the results of this season don't reveal how we have all grown as cricketers and as people and we appreciate the lessons we have learned on and off the field. The man responsible for this was Mr Claringbold and we thank him for his enthusiasm and loyalty. His patience has been tested at times, but he has encouraged us to face our challenges and we appreciate his support. This season is his last as 1st XI Coach I would like to thank him on behalf of the team and hope he has a hand in the development of College cricketers for many years to come.

STEVEN MORGAN - Captain

Andrew Morphett

2ND XI The 2nds Cricket team had mixed success in the 97/98 season. Despite thrashing Geelong Grammar in an early practice match, thanks to a solid 83 by Michael Hildebrand, we did not carry this success into the rest of the season. The turning point however, was when we played the previously undefeated Melbourne Grammar. Fired up from a lack of success, we showed what a team

could do with confidence as we recorded our most memorable win for the season, courtesy of Simon Wetherall.

We continued this trend and won the last three matches of the season, including a victory over Xavier featuring an opening stand of 0/192 by Craig Smith and Simon Clark, with Simon earning himself a new bat with his century score.

Although the team didn't frequently experience success, there were numerous personal efforts of note. Nick Casboult, Tom Fallaw and James Kilpatrick bowled well all season, as well as captain Andrew Morphett who often lead by example in snaring a bag of wickets. Their bowling was supported well by Rob Macafee.

Craig Smith, Simon Clark and Andrew Costin batted consistently, with Craig recording an average of 43 runs, including four 50s, and Simon reaching a memorable century.

On behalf of the 2nds side, I would like to thank our coach Baz Clark for his inspirational words throughout the season, and wish next year's team good luck.

CRAIG SMITH 3RD XI The 3rd XI's season was full of ups and downs. The start of the season showed promise for the team with strong batting and fielding from all players.

The first game of the season against Melbourne Grammar was truly a batters' delight. College may have lost this match but we still couldn't be disappointed. Great depth was shown by our opening pair of Sam Parsons reaching 17 and Simon Craig with a gutsy 28.

Simon also bagged 2 wickets. They managed to establish a strong total before their wickets were felled. Lucas Arnup lifted the run chase with a quick retirement of 42. But after this the 3rd XI had a batting collapse. The middle and tail order fell cheaply to the Melbourne Grammar attack.

When the final wicket fell Lucas Arnup returned to the crease to retrieve a game, which was looking lost. Steady at the crease Lucas gave the Melbourne Grammar a lesson on batting, belting 8 sixes and countless boundaries. He was eventually caught for a grand total of 70 runs. Geelong College went down by 4 runs in what was an excellent game of cricket.

It was a successful game mentally for College. Big hitting and strong batting espired players such as Joel Taylor, Troy Doak and Peter Ryan to consistently perform over the rest of the season with the bat.

Overall the 1997/98 season was an enjoyable experience for all those involved in the 3rd XI. On behalf of all the boys I would like to thank our coaching staff, Mr Simon Gilson for the first three games of the season and Mr Allan Thomas for the remainder of the season.

3rd XI Players over the 1997/98 Season. Lucas Arnup (Captain), Simon Craig (Vice-Captain), Samuel Parsons, Joel Taylor,

LUCAS ARNUP - Captain 4THXI The 4th XI had a very successful season.

Batting highlights included 40 runs by Ryan Hutchinson and 36 from Ben Sullivan against 1st XI Cricket Geelong Grammar School. However we were Back Row: Tom Butter, Jon Hildebrand, Charles Dennis, Alastair Munro, Justin Fitzclarence, Warwick Lamb, Craig Smith, James Polkinghorne still unsuccessful.

1998-1999 season.

Richard Butler and Mark McGugan both did a great job TIMOTHY BLACK-Captain 10A The Year 10A cricket team enjoyed a season that was surprisingly successful considering we lost four of our first six games. This didn't dull the enthusiasm and team spirit that was pivotal to our turnaround of fortune and form. We then played exceptional cricket winning our last four matches and playing with a newfound desire for success. We ended the season with 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, with wins over Carey, St Kevins, Geelong Grammar, Melbourne Grammar and Brighton.

Thirteen cricketers played in 10A cricket this year and each showed the skills and patience to be successful cricketers in the future. Our star player, without a doubt, was Tom Butler, who showed us all what confidence and perseverance could do for both him and our team. His best scores of 46, 63 and 108 were a credit to his work ethic. Tom ended with an average of 38 and was

behind the stumps and were also reliable with the bat. Reid Merriman (249 runs av.-31) and Mark McGugan (176 runs av.-22) opened the batting consistently, and were strongly supported by Tim Callan who batted well, although was unlucky not to produce a big score. Edward Cameron, Steven Parker and Daniel Merrigan who bowled well all year led the bowling.

The team consisted of Reid Merriman (Captain), Tim Callan (Vice Captain), Greg Allan, Ed Billings, Richie Butler, Edward Cameron, James Kay, Mark McGugan, Stephen Parker, Sam Chisholm, Tyson Curypko, Jack Eastman, Ashley Freind, Andrew Gunner, Steve Jones and Daniel Merrigan.

On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr Cochrane for doing a great job of coaching us this year. It was much appreciated by all of us.

REID MERRIMAN Alistair Munro

GIRLS 1STS This season was set to be an interesting and challenging one which saw both a combination of 4 original members from last year's team, plus 2 new girls from the intermediates and 1 new girl to the school, all of whom have become our greatest assets. The team consisted of Leah Marriner (vice captain), Megan Bell, Kiri Milsom, Emily Haylock, Jess Koch, Janet Lang and Alysha Minne (Captain).

The season showed many great achievements by individual players and the team. There were some good wins and some disappointing losses. Our first two rounds were tough ones against reigning premiers Carey on their home turf, and hosting Wesley with their new star WNBL player at home. We knew these two games would test us as a newly formed team, and it did, proving that we needed to work together more consistently. We regrouped after these games and were able to defeat Caulfield and Geelong Grammar. Just before the holidays we were up against Carey again and once again were defeated.

Our first game back was against Wesley after a much-needed break, which saw us put into practice the philosophy 'We have nothing to lose and they have everything to lose.' This worked and this game would have to have been the highlight of our season. It brought out the best in everyone and we worked together as a team should. We ended by defeating Wesley to stop them from receiving equal premiership with Carey for the second consecutive year. After this game, we had a disappointing loss to Caulfield. We forgot about team play which resulted in defeat in a game that should have been won. For our last game we wanted to end on a high and were able to do so against Grammar. Everyone played really well with a win against our arch rivals.

Throughout the season the girls have shown much improvement. The team came together well and have shown progress in all aspects of their game from their individual skills on the court to their support for each other off the court. Great friendships have been formed which hopefully will continue after the completion of the season. All girls have played together as a team and proved themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the APS competition.

ALYSHA MINNE- Captain

GIRLS 2NDS On reflection of the 1998 basketball season, one match stands fondly in my mind. It was the last game of the season.

Playing Geelong Grammar out at the Arena, we won our first match for the season. The total dedication to each other and the admiration we had for each individual on the court could only be described as electric and inspirational. The display of teamwork and the desire to finish the season on a high was incredible. After the game, there was not a girl who wasn't exhausted, but smiling.

In comparison to our first game, we were a totally different team.

Our skills were a lot more defined and confidently executed. All girls should be proud of their improvement.

The team consisted of: Koren Irving, Louise Lochhead, Bronwyn McDonald, Megan Trim, Melissa Tan, Josette Loomes, Laura Bourns, Rachel Mol, Nia Savitri, Crystal Webster and myself.

Thanks must go to Mr Taylor and Mr Carroll for their coaching assistance throughout the season. I would also like to wish all year 12 basketballers the best of luck in their playing future.

TAMMI RANTALL GIRLS INTERMEDIATE The Girls Intermediate 'A' team all put in a great effort throughout the whole season. While we lost more than we won, most games were very close. All players developed their skills throughout the season. Lucy Simmonds was top scorer for the season Kim Oxley was a very valuable player, combining strong attacking and defensive skills and Sarah Weber often made use of the fast break. The Year Nine recruits, Lucy, Angie, Jackie and Jess, most new to the sport, improved with each game, and were confident players by the end of the season. All girls had great fun, and thanks to Mrs Lannan for coaching; Breanne for filling in; and our scorers Christina and Susie. Well done to all girls for a great season.

BOYS 1STS After a fantastic pre-season in Canberra, the Boys lsts were ready for a great season. The team consisted of Lachlan Strong, Ben Nanacarrow, Luke McPherson, Rohan Teasdale, Simon Robertson, Michael Plunkett, Adam Carlson, Jeremy Loomes and myself. We were given a new coach, Alan McKee, who was rumoured to be the best junior coach in Australia. Of course being the optimistic group we were, we didn't believe a word until he arrived. From the very first session we knew that this bloke knew what he was talking about.

His coaching improved our team immensely. Even the 6:30am training sessions didn't seem to slow our improvements, but Jeremy did have trouble listening a few times, as he was still in bed.

The Under 18 Division 1 competition at 'Life Be In It' began with eight teams; however it became obvious after a few grading games that four teams were much better than the others. The resulting 4 team competition meant that there were no easy games.

The season started with an amazing streak from point guard Ben Nancarrow who consistently shot game high scores of 20 points or more to lead us to victory. After a few games the rest of the team fired as well, Rohan Teasdale having the 'no conscience' attitude at the 3-point line helped the scoreboard along nicely.

Luke McPherson and Lachlan Strong, whilst being fairly short played as the Big Boys on the court, grabbing much needed rebounds. Jeremy Loomes and Adam Carlson provided our height to intimidate any opposition! Our two Year 11 players, Michael Plunkett and Simon Robertson provided much-needed ball handling and scoring, with Robo also providing the entertainment!

With this combination we had a great season, along with some very close games. It came to the finals and Da Boyz at 'Life Be In It' started to show us some respect; we were no longer 'wussy college boys'. Instead, we were 'wussy college boys' who could win. And this we did in the Semi Final where we pulverized St. Joseph's, leaving them out of the final for the first time in years. In the Grand Final we played some of the best basketball of the year...if only some shots had fallen in. We lost this game by just 3 points to Covenant College, whom we hadn't beaten all season.

Many thanks must go to all those who came along to support us, especially Mr and Mrs Teasdale who could be heard cheering at every match. Despite losing we can still say that we achieved more than was expected of us, which feels good. Much of our performance was due to our coach Mr A McKee, who raised the standard of the team markedly through the season.

JONATHON SPINKS

BOYS U / 1 8 C This year the College U/18 C basketball team played in Division 3 of the 'Life Be In It' school's Friday night competition. We had a season with mixed results, some good wins were had, but there were also some average performances. This was frustrating for our coach Craig O'Brien, knowing what the team could produce.

Overall, the season was one of improvement, showing more consistency at the end of the season and being very competitive.

All players worked hard through the season and increased their skill levels and understanding of the game.

The team consisted of: Immanual Barbour, Nik Low, Andrew Morris, Andrew Smurthwaite, Andrew Stephenson, Paul Walters and Sam Willett.

The effort and patience of Craig O'Brien, our coach, was greatly appreciated by the team in an enjoyable season and we thank him for that.

ANDREW STEPHENSON

Emily Haylock

BOYS U / 1 8 D The U/18D's consisting of Brian Cooke, Edward Spokes, Cambell Carmichael, Edward Jeremiah, Sam Willett, Andrew Torney and myself were a force to be reckoned with during the 1998 'Life Be In It' season.

Unfortunately this force didn't win too many games, a notable exception being the win against the College 'C team.

Despite players occasionally getting lost on the long trek to South Geelong and leaving the team a few players short, we put up some valiant fights to come up well against difficult opposition. The team made a great effort overall, and much improvement was shown.

Thanks to Fletcher Pearson and Craig O'Brien, coach of the 'C team, for tirelessly coaching us throughout the season.

TIM PETERSEN BOYS U/16A This season the Boys U/16A team played in the under 16 Division 1 Schools competition at the 'Life Be In It' Centre. We went into the season confident after defeating two teams by over 100 points in the grading matches. However, our confidence was short lived as we struggled for consistency throughout the season.

We had enough wins to see us finish the season in third position, giving us a berth in the semi-final. Much to our disappointment, the Knicks ended our season.

The team, consisting of John Costa, James Cox, Jonothan Friend, Daniel Merrigan, James Milsom, David Pope, Oscar Stanley,

BOYS U / 1 8 B It was a semi-successful year for the second's basketball. With Mr Gallus coaching the under 18's team and the guidance of the A's coach, Allan McKee, a team 'play book' was developed. We were still trying to implement this at the end of the season.

We were always one of the stronger teams in the Division 2 Under 18 section at 'Life Be In It', but we were unable to win the big games, especially against our arch nemesis the Skitz Ducks.

We won our way through to the first round of finals, scraping into fourth position, however we lost to Black Magic ending our season earlier than we had hoped. The team consisted of: Nik Szakiel, Ben Evans, James Chapman, Anthony Ross, Campbell Rae, Sam Marchesani, Sam Percy, Fergus Weber and myself.

With thanks to Mr Gallus for his support, we had a strong season with much success - we just failed to take it that one step further.

winning by a point.

Tom Ross scored a bag full of points each week and Tom Butters showed some brilliance at times. The rest of the team namely: Jordan Barr, Justin Harding, John Warn, Andrew Sheahan, Stephen Ryan and Chris Hadfield all played their part through the season.

We would like to thank Lach Strong and Dane Jackson (the U/16 D Coach) for their help in teaching us many 'skills and drills'.

JORDAN BARR BOYS U / 1 6 D Robert Crittenden

Ryan Welsh and myself, contained plenty of individual talent, though we struggled to play consistently as a team. The likes of John Costa, James Cox and David Pope made sure there was rarely a dull moment at training.

On behalf of the team I would like to thank 'Woody' (Mr John Wood) for coaching us, except on those early Tuesday mornings.

CHARLES HUNTER BOYS U / 1 6 B The Boys U/16 B basketball team had an extremely successful year, matching the lsts in their achievements. The team, with Michael Parker as a first year coach, managed to get through all regular season games with only three losses. Two of these were to the powerhouse of the competition, St Josephs. Our third loss was to Oberon High in our last match of regular season.

We reached the semi-final against the Magic with only 7 players eligible to play because of the five regular season games rule.

Unfortunately, Tom Kaye dislocated his knee two minutes into the semi final. This left us with only one man on the bench. Excellent team play led to a big win over the Magic, 73 - 29. Predictably we came up against St Josephs in the Grand Final. Unfortunately, due to our lack of both players and height we went down to a bigger, stronger and quicker St Josephs by 15 points, 49 - 34.

Congratulations must go to the team who had an excellent season, but unfortunately, we just could not go all the way to win the premiership. Thanks must go to Michael Parker for his terrific coaching methods that helped us to get to the Grand Final in the first place.

Team members were Tom Kaye, Tim Hodgson, David Libby, Robert Crittenden, Simon Bowler, Brad Giblin, Michael Golding.

The winner of the Frim memorial trophy for the U/16 B most valuable player was Tim Hodgson.

'Wettenhall', as our team was called, started the season at the 'Life: Be In It' centre with a couple of wins. After a few lineup changes, we had difficulties against the more experienced opposition sides, particularly the teams from Kardinia. As the year progressed we improved and provided good sporting competition.

Our goal scoring wasn't always as accurate as the oppositions, making it difficult for us to register a lot of wins.

The season, whilst not particularly successful on the scoreboard, saw many personal highlights under the very patient care of our coach for the season, Dane Jackson. Dane quietly maintained his enthusiasm and helped to develop and encourage a good team effort from us all, helping some less experienced players to gain confidence. The team game and individual skills steadily improved throughout the season to see us a competitive unit for the latter part of the season.

Our team members for most of the year were: David Coghill, Leigh Madden, Andrew Gunner, Sebastian Hands, Steve Jones, Julian Calaby, Stephen Parker, Mark Santospirito and myself with some help from Armand Setiawan and Ben Doyle for a couple of games. As a team we also enjoyed great support from our families and friends throughout the year and always had a couple of 'biased' parents to do the scoring and many others there to cheer us on.

Special thanks to our coach Dane for giving up his time for us and we wish him well for the future.

TOM KAYE BOYS U / 1 6 C The U/16 C team was one of two College teams in the 'Life Be In It' Friday night Under 16 Division 3 school's competition. This team had a number of boys who were playing basketball for the first time.

Despite our inexperience, we managed to make it into the finals. Our season was enjoyable and quite humorous; in fact Lachlan Strong, our coach, had to dampen the enthusiasm at training at times. Games were a more serious occasion where everybody played hard. Players improved considerably during the season with a couple of exceptional games, one where we were 24 points down at half time and finished Leah Marriner

The 1997/98 APS swimming season produced numerous personal achievements throughout the competitions, with each of the girls swimming to the best of her ability to attain impressive results. Training commenced in fourth term last year for senior swimmers, with the arrival of fresh talent from the Prep School in term one this year greatly enhancing our team's overall performance at all APS competitions.

Throughout the season the team competed at six interschool meets, these being held at Geelong Grammar and Wesley on Saturday mornings. It was here that both our swimmers and divers had the opportunity to compete against the other APS schools who would be participating in the APS Girls' Carnival in March. The new Aquatic Centre in Melbourne set the scene for this major APS competition, with weeks worth of arduous training spent preparing for the carnival. Here we came up against extremely strong competition from the three major Melbourne schools, Carey, Wesley and Caulfield Grammar, and our traditional rivals, Geelong Grammar. Despite our overall fifth placing at the meet, many commendable results were recorded, including eighteen personal best times. Our strongest age group was the under-fifteen division, with Kathleen O'Brien, Julia Torpey, Claire Wood and Alice Hill all swimming exceptionally well in their individual and relay events. The achievements of these girls throughout the season promises to make the Geelong College Swim Team a strong contender in future APS competition. These achievements, along with numerous other individual and team results, clearly reflect the determination and effort that each of the swimmers have displayed

throughout this year's swimming season.

Despite our moderate success this year in relation to overall placement within the APS swimming competition, the team spirit at every carnival was exceptionally high. The emergence of "Team Turban", which was a fashion statement adopted by many members of the team, was one strategy that was effectively employed to boost team spirit.

I wish to thank Adam Beckworth, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Mitchell for the support and enthusiasm that they gave to swimming throughout the season. The tireless effort that they put into the Swim Team was greatly appreciated by all girls, making this season a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding one. I would also like to wish all girls continuing on with swimming the best of luck for future seasons of competition.

This year's season of APS swimming competition provided not only recreational benefits, but also many challenges for all girls involved. The building of the Aquatic Centre at Senior School will undoubtedly promote swimming at the College and encourage far greater participation in this sport in the years ahead.

GIRLS 1ST XI During the past four years we have experienced a range of achievements in the APS competition from winning the championships in 1995, being co-premiers in 1996, gaining second place in 1997 to last place this year.

This year we played against the strongest competition for four years, and managed to draw once, win twice and were defeated five times. These losses do not reflect the standard of the play because the biggest goal difference in any game was only 3 goals. Our successes were against Caulfield, 2-1 and archrivals Geelong Grammar, 3-0, finishing the competition on a high note.

Defeating Caulfield meant that they did not become Premiers and Grammar finished third on the ladder. We fought hard and played like winners in each match, and each match could have gone either way. This is a tribute to our opposition, which contains the best schoolgirls hockey teams within the State.

We again played in the Telstra Buchanan Cup for the fourth year in a row, and again were runners up. The tournament brought the team together, so we were able to come away with 2 wins in the last two matches of the APS season. The Buchanan Cup was the pivotal achievement of our season.

This year our team consisted of girls from every year level within the Senior School. Initially this made it difficult for the team to come together as a coherent group. Maybe if we had done this more quickly, we may have experienced more success. It was clear to us, as Captains, how each and every person improved in their hockey skills, both individually and in team play.

Sophie and Vicki both fell sick during the season, and this meant that two new recruits were pulled into the team. Sophie's timid nature did not stand her in good stead when coming up against such physical teams as Carey and Caulfield, but she soon realised that in order to get to the ball, she had to try some tough tactics as well.

She soon overcame her shyness on the field and her determined nature helped her improve throughout the entire season.

Aly Macmillan, our Vice-Captain, has been in the team since Year 10, and since her first game, she has shown her boldness and skill on the field. This was particularly evident in the matches against Grammar. Liz Ryan and Lia Bailey were the two little terriers of the team. They showed their fitness, continued from their rowing season, and they once again demonstrated the persistence evident in all College team members.

Nikki and Chalini Gunawardana, the two sisters of the team, may have had their occasional tiff during the season; however, this was not to come between them and their hockey. Nikki was perhaps accident-prone, but as the season wore on she became more ferocious and her skills improved incredibly. Chilli's

enjoyment of the game of hockey was contagious and her laugh lifted the team spirit.

Jacinta andjayne, the youngsters of the team, did exactly what youngsters are supposed to: take orders from their elders, the senior members of the team. But in all seriousness, these two displayed some of the best team spirit, especially in the Telstra Buchanan Cup. Kate Eastman was our secret weapon - we brought her on to the field when we needed some toughness and attack in the forward line. This brings us to Christine and words that come to mind are dodgy and skilful - dodgy because we sometimes wonder about her Xena fascinations, and skilful because she has quite possibly the best back stick tackle in our team. Alice Baulch teamed up with Christine to make our other fullback. She never failed to amaze us with her attacking runs up the centre; perhaps she could be put into use next year as the new star forward.

Ali Lean, my Co-Captain, was the only other member who had been in the team since Year nine, and she has only missed one game during that entire period. As I played with her, I learnt that hockey was, in fact, her life, as she often played up to four games a weekend. Her skills improved dramatically for her to become one of the best hockey players in the school. (Dana) Dana Ryan, my Co-Captain, experienced a sensational season.

Before matches, she would give an inspirational speech that would lift the team to achieve their best. She was amazingly strong in defence when the pressure was on to clear the ball. She did some of her best slide tackles this season, taking the opposition with her when needed. She was an inspiration to both the team and myself.

Dana has played 37 of the 38 matches in 4 seasons with the firsts and I know that the firsts will have a hard time finding a replacement for her. (Ali) We would also like to thank Mrs Lean, our dedicated coach. For the past four years she has taught us as much as she knows about the game of hockey, and her enthusiasm has never waned.

Finally I would like to thank the Hockey Support Group, including all of the parents, for their BBQ's every Saturday morning. They supplied every College hockey team playing at home and their opposition with soup, a BBQ and drinks. It was very much appreciated by the team and in particular by us, as Captains.

GIRLS 2ND XI The season of 1998 for the 2nd Girls Hockey team was an extremely successful one. This is not just judged on our performance on the hockey field, but on the team spirit which all the girls displayed. Every team member enjoyed playing each Saturday whether they were victorious or not. Our team consisted of Stephanie Holbery, Emily Chakir, Carol Target, Sonia Hayes, Claire Jackson, Sarah Kelly, Angela Hamilton, Meredith Elliott, Peggy Fidge, Penny Ladd, Georgie Lyon, Olivia Allen, Jo Grant, Sarah Carey, Janey

GIRLS INTERMEDIATE This year only 13 girls were on the list for the Inter A's Hockey Team; Jacinta Holien, Jayne Lamb, Elin McPadden, Nicky Stow, Sophie Ayerbe, Jess Donaldson, Georgie Corke, Penny Finch, Claire Barlow, Breanne Jackson, Leah Martella, Jenny Selvidge and Jenny Patchett. They were all involved in every game this season.

Coached by Mr Quail and Carolyn Jordan, the whole team saw great improvement in their skills and fitness level as the season progressed. Of the eight games that were played, 4 were lost (however, all were very close), 2 were won, and 2 were drawn. At the end of the season the hockey break-up was a great opportunity for players of every Geelong College team to share a barbecue and be presented with a certificate of participation, and a medallion for the best and fairest player of each team. Congratulations to the winner of this award in the Inter A's Sophie Ayerbe. Special thanks must also go to the 'Parents Support Group', especially Mrs Lamb, for coming along to each game to cheer us on and for organizing a delicious barbecue at our home games. Many thanks also to Mr. Quail and Jordy for helping us to have such an enjoyable season.

Congratulations to all the girls on a great season, and best of luck for next year.

LEAH MARTELLA and BREANNE JACKSON

Hamilton who played her first season of hockey and did very well.

The improvement in our team from the start of the season compared to the end was remarkable. Our first game was against Ivanhoe Grammar and we were beaten convincingly 8-0, whilst in our last game, against the same team, we won 3-1. This was a great effort by the whole team. Thanks to Mrs Tol and Jordy who coached us patiently, improving our skills, and mental and physical fitness for the game.

SARAH CAREY Special Note: The Junior A Girls Hockey team deserves a special mention, as they were undefeated in their competition in 1998. Mrs M Oates' expertise and support was greatly appreciated.

BOYS 1ST XI The 1998 season held mixed success for the Boys 1st XI. While recording more wins than last year, a few narrow losses late in the season meant we didn't finish as well as we might have. Early in the season we performed well, and found ourselves in second position on the APS ladder after three games. This run was brought to a halt when Scotch College beat us 6-1, to finish our dreams of winning the premiership. Undoubtedly our best performance of the season was against Haileybury College, who we beat 6-1 in a great match. A strong team performance and excellent conversion of short corners meant we played to our full potential. After the mid-season break we struggled, the lowlight being a 2-1 loss to Carey in Melbourne, our only away trip for the season.

Throughout the season, the performance of a group of players with no first team experience was what held the team together. New players from Year 10, Sam West, Warwick Lamb and Charles Roy, Year lis Toby Campbell and Shane Groom, and Year 12s Stuart Lethbridge, John Arrigo, Marcus Nation, Ben Sullivan, Andrew Swaney and Gareth Ellis, all of whom had not played a game in the lsts before the season, became the backbone of the team. Our main source of goals was Richard Bremner, our import from Geelong Grammar. This solved the goal-scoring problem that has plagued so many College teams, for when we got the ball to him, he usually put us in a goal scoring position. However, the ball would not have reached Richard without excellent work from the midfield. Our stalwart, and highly skilled centre-half Robert Moreton provided him with many excellent opportunities. As the heart of our midfield, Rob held the team together, being highly creative as well.

We would like to thank the hockey support group for their barbecues at every home match, and to the team for their constant support, always giving 100%. Also, we must thank Mr. David Miller for again coaching the boys 1st XI, and to Ms. Carolyn Jordan, our ex-Olympian skills coach, who really made a difference to our play.

Finally, we would like to wish Mr. Miller farewell after thirteen years as Head of Hockey, and good luck as he takes up the post of Head of Science at Toowoomba Grammar.

SCOTT SINCLAIR and DAVID KEITH - Co-Captains

one. A demoralizing 26-0 defeat at the hands of Melbourne Grammar was a horrible way to start, but we managed to bounce to record 6 wins and 3 losses by the end of the season.

Another defeat, this time by Wesley ended our season. This was obviously not the way we would have liked to end our season, but we managed to reach our goal of 5 wins for the season. With Angus McLean out of this match with a broken arm and Alistair Renick dislocating his knee during the match, we struggled.

There were many highlights for the season, but two games stand out. Geelong Grammar (2-1) and Xavier College (2-0) were both extremely tough games where we managed to gain an early lead, and grimly fight off each team in the second half. Both games were played on grass, which was even tougher on all players as we did not train on the grass once during the season. Amazingly though we managed to perform most of the skills on the grass that we managed on the synthetic.

BOYS 2ND XI Not even the finest fortuneteller could have predicted the many successes enjoyed by the Geelong College 2nd Boys hockey team during the 1998 APS hockey season. In a mere ten weeks, the loosely grouped 'bunch' of 16 ruffians were transformed into a team of hardcore, dedicated hockey players. Besides winning five and drawing one of our eight games, the 2nds boys also enjoyed a season that was high with laughs and with a good deal of rowdy behaviour.

Highlights of the season must include the games against Xavier, where a last minute goal by star forward Peter Sullivan gave us a 3-2 win, and the final 2-0 victory against the purple clad Wesley boys. The match against Scotch was memorable, despite going down 3-0. It was to be judged the best game of the season due to the amount of determination, skill and effort shown by the whole team from the first pass to the last whistle. Other wins during the season came from matches against Caulfield (24), Geelong Grammar (4-0), and Carey (1-0).

Congratulations must go to Luke Kuzmich who managed to score the first goal of his career with the last hit of our last match.

After sitting up high in the forward line for the whole season he managed to put one in the back of the net with 2 seconds left on the clock.

Overall a great season for the team with contributions from every player. Team Members: Tom Kaye, Angus McLean, Adam Kibbis, Robert Chakir, Phillip Messenger, Alistair Renick, Shaun McKenzie, Robbie Harris (our Goalie), Dominic Crowley, Charles Hill, Phoebus Shum, Luke Kuzmich.

TOM KAYE

However, true success in a team cannot be truly measured in how many wins are notched up, or by the number of goals that are scored. Although winning goes a long way to making a season enjoyable, it was the experiences shared by the team and the enormous spirit that made the season memorable. Who could forget Peter Sullivan's spectacular under cuts at goal; Joel Harris' mighty saves in a short corner, or Andrew Pye's frantic calls from the wing? Long will we remember Aaron Hunt being sent to a far corner by an irate umpire; the umpire-less game against Carey; and the bizarre uniform changes modelled in the last game against Wesley.

It must be remembered, of course, that none of this would have been even remotely possible had it not been for our coach, Mr Montgomery. His talent in creating the fantastic team we became is a striking endorsement of the great coach he is. On behalf of the team I would like to thank him for all his time, effort and patience throughout the season. It was a pleasure to captain the 2nd XI with John Cotton as Vice Captain for the 1998 season and I wish the boys the best of luck for next year.

GIRLS 1998 proved to be an outstanding and successful year for the Geelong College Girls Athletics Squad. There were many notable individual and team performances, particularly when it counted the most - at the APS Sports. At the end of the season the Challenge Cup sparkled once again in the Geelong College trophy cabinet.

James Boston

Despite the limited number of Years 9 and 10 girls training this year, we were strengthened by a keen Preparatory School squad willing to fill gaps in the team and in some cases compete out of their age groups. The potential of these athletes was shown in their success in winning the U16 Victorian Schools Knockout Competition. In September the College Girls team took home the Aggregate Trophy at the Victorian Relays Championships for the first time. After the holiday break and two Term 4 meetings at Olympic Park, our girls were ready for the big day.

Lucy Mills rocketed College off to a great start in the very first event by winning the Open 800m and all team members responded to the challenge. The spirit shown by our athletes was reflected in the number of personal bests achieved during the morning.

In the Open age group, Lucy backed up her 800m win with a second placing in the 400m and a great 4 x 400m relay leg. Anna Fitzpatrick was just pipped at the post in the 1500m and combined with the tenacious Eliza Austin to achieve second place in the teams event. Sophie Halsall won the Long Jump, whilst Emily Haylock came second and third respectively in the High and Triple Jumps. Valuable team contributions came from Rosie Bell and Year 12 athletes Louise Lochhead, Megan Bell, Charlotte Paton, Suzy Wilson, Kate Macmillan and Sally Steel.

In the U17 age group, Sarah Johnstone finished off a most memorable season with first placings in the 200m and the Long Jump and a second in the 100m. Her sprint efforts were rewarded with two school records. Sarah was also part of the winning and school record breaking 4 x 100m relay team of Janey Gwyther, Sophie Halsall and Mel Cooke. In the Shot Put, Jane Butler and Sophie Halsall performed to a high standard, gaining second and fourth placings to take out the teams event. Janey Gwyther worked hard at her hurdling and finished a creditable second and Alison Clyne, Marie Sinclair and Angela

Hamilton showed courage in their events.

In the younger age groups, College athletes dominated.

Clara Davies took 0.13 seconds off the U16 800m record in a most inspirational race where she simply refused to be beaten. Tina Reilly performed admirably to win the U16 Triple Jump and the U15 100m and Long Jump. Alanna Lyon won the U15 200m and Sophie Nelson won the U14 100m and 200m and performed strongly in the jumps. Brydie Meek threw over 11 metres for the first time to win the U15 Shot Put. College teams won both the U14 and U15 sprint relays.

Other girls who finished in the first three places in individual events included Tessa Fitzpatrick, Rebecca Herd, Sally Kemp, Kathleen O'Brien, Pip Farr, Pippi Lean, Hayley Johnston and Sarah Schofield.

Finally, what more can possibly be said about Georgie Clarke?

Georgie was simply outstanding once again. She effortlessly slashed an amazing 13 seconds off the APS U15 800m record. She then stepped up an age group to U16 for the 200m and 400m where she set two more APS records. Georgie was the outstanding athlete of this meeting and was a key motivator and inspiration for the Preparatory School girls.

Perhaps ominously for the other schools, there is a great deal of depth in this squad. There are some incredibly talented juniors coming up through the ranks and College could achieve bigger and better things next year.

On behalf of all the girls I would like to thank our coaches for their hard work, dedication and support during the season. The success we experienced would not have been possible without the efforts of Old Collegians Rhiannon Bourke, Adam Beckworth, Greg Lochhead, Cain Sarah and Mark Williamson and Staff coaches Mrs Bourke, Mr Jeffreys, Mr Roberts, Mr Clark, Mr Considine, Mr Cronk, Mrs Filling, Mr Hamilton, Ms Matthews, Mr Montgomery, Mr Zoch, Mr Ryan and Mr Parkes.

To all College athletes, thank you for your commitment, contribution and support. I would like to wish you the best of luck and continued success for the future.

LUCY CUMMINS - Captain

Lucy Cummins has represented the Geelong College with distinction in APS competition for the past five years. She has been successful in a wide range of events including the 200m, 400m, 800m, Long Jump, Triple Jump and both 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relays. Lucy is the current holder of two APS and four School Records aad has been an outstanding example to other athletes with her hard work and competitive spirit. The unfortunate knee injury which she suffered in the netball season did not allow her to compete at this year's APS Sports, but she played a vital role as Captain in her encouragement of other members of the team.

MR T PARKES - Teacher in Charge of Athletics BOYS The 1998 athletics season has been another challenging one for the College boys' squad. As we started training in August our aim was to improve on last year's disappointing finish. Again we had to deal with the loss of key athletes and very limited involvement from boys in Years 9 and 10. Despite this, the middle distance squad began strongly and there was potential in the jumps events and senior sprints.

Meetings were held at Landy Field for the first four Saturdays and some different formats were tried, including mixed and medley relays as well as competitions against Geelong Grammar, Caulfield, Carey and Wesley. College athletes who showed out included James Boston (returning from injury), Matt Goldsworthy, Tim Allen, Ross Gould and Nick Guyett.

Those who trained consistently included Andrew Napier, George Ritchie, Shaun McKenzie, Ben Collyer, Nick Bridges, Tim Macauley and the middle distance group.

At the Victorian Relays Championships in September a number of teams reached the finals and the U18 4 x 400m team of Jamie Bell, Richard Jeremiah, Matt Goldsworthy and James Boston won the Gold Medal in an exciting finish.

The holidays were quickly upon us and programs were given out to maintain our fitness, strength and endurance. The two Term 4 meetings in Melbourne gave relay teams and field events competitors their final opportunities for practice.

In the final week the track athletes competed at the Heats on Wednesday and reached a creditable nine Division 1 Finals. At the Athletics Breakfast former College middle distance champion Andrew Lambart spoke to the two teams about his experiences at the Combined Sports and everyone could feel the tension beginning to build. The hard work we had done was about to be tested.

build the numbers and strength of our squad.

In Open age group, Matt Goldsworthy ran well to finish fourth in the 800m and Edward Jeremiah battled injury to finish the 3000m. James Boston ran out of his age group in the 400m and recorded a courageous win. Tom Fallaw finished sixth in the High Jump and also competed in the Hurdles and the sprint relay.

James Boston showed his class to destroy his opposition in the U17 100m and 200m. His 100m time of 10.84 seconds set a new APS record and broke two other school records in a very successful season. James also finished third in the Shot Put. In other U17 events, Jamie Bell was fifth in the 800m and Simon Robertson ran a personal best to finish sixth in the 1500m. Tim Allen's leap of 1.85m earned him third in the High Jump.

Richard Jeremiah ran strongly to win the U16 800m. Other college athletes to perform well in U16 events were Dean Elliott (second in the Hurdles), Stewart Hamilton (a personal best in the High Jump) and late recruit Roshan Khozouei, who competed in five events and showed potential for the future. Seven Preparatory School boys were members of the team and their efforts (some competing out of their age group) were creditable. James Hope-Johnstone finished fourth in the U15 200m and Nick Betts showed determination in his U15 800m.

All College athletes should be proud of their contribution to the final result and their support for others during the season. The future of athletics depends on more boys showing this spirit and commitment.

I would like to thank George Ritchie as Vice-Captain and all of the coaches who guided the boys team this season: Greg Lochhead, Cain Sarah, Mark Williamson, Mrs Bourke, Mr Jeffreys, Mr Roberts, Mr Clark, Mr Clifford, Mr Considine, Mr Cronk, Mrs Filling, Mr Hamilton, Mr Harris, Ms Matthews, Mr Montgomery and especially Mr Ryan and Mr Parkes for their planning and organisation. I congratulate the girls on a magnificent win and I wish College athletes all the best for the future.

TOM DAVIS - Captain Tom Davis has led by example as Boys Captain this season.

His positive approach at training and his determination in competition set a fine example for other athletes. Tom represented the College at the APS Sports in the Open 100m, 4 x 100m relay, Long Jump and Triple Jump. He achieved personal bests on the day in his two jumps, gaining two fourth places in the very competitive Open age group.

MR T PARKES - Teacher in Charge of Athletics

We were determined to do our best following the Girls' win in the morning and all College athletes contributed to the team effort. Our score of over 200 points and tenth place above Geelong Grammar represents some progress from last season, but we lack depth in many areas and we need more participation in athletics to

GIRLS 1STS 1997-1998 was the season that very nearly was; in fact, two tie-break losses cost the Geelong College Girls 1st tennis team the illustrious premiership cup. Despite this, the season of 1997-8 was no less rewarding. The team, consisting of 12 girls ranging from Year 10 to Year 12, was a combination of awe inspiring talent, especially our star recruit and most valuable player, Emily Haylock, and a lots of fun.

Our season began strongly with two strong wins against Geelong Grammar and Caulfield, which set the tone for the rest of the season. After the long summer break the girls reunited for the annual tennis camp; the two days of hot weather, lots of tennis and team spirit got the girls back into the winning frame of mind. We found our form against Carey Grammar, dropping just two sets on the way.

The second week of school for the year saw the girls settle back into the Tuesday and Friday morning routine, and beginning to think about winning the trophy. Our second match for the year saw us travel up to Melbourne to meet the reigning premiers and champions, Wesley College. Unfortunately we suffered our first loss for the season, but we were confident of bouncing back.

The second half of the season was an exact copy of the first half, with strong wins against Geelong Grammar, Carey and Caulfield. The last Saturday of the season came upon us quickly and, warily confident of being able to beat Wesley, the girls were looking forward to the challenge. However, the day did not belong to College. We were beaten in a very close contest, with every

member of the team putting in 100%. We did manage to win the Victorian Tennis Coaches Association competition during the season. The final saw us defeat Wesley Grammar in another close match. The College Girls very well deserved the winner's trophy.

I would like to congratulate all members of the team, in particular Emily Haylock who was selected as the number one player in the A.P.S and Rebecca Morphett who went through the season dropping just one set. I would also like to thank Mr Young and Andrew Cameron for their consistent dedication to the 1st Girl's tennis team. I also wish next year's team the best of luck in their bid to go one better.

1st Girls Tennis Team: Eliza Austin, Simmone Le Grew, Lori Cordingly, Angie Gibson, Suzie Wilson, Mandy Steel, Sarah Kelly, Emily Haylock, Rebecca Morphett, Marie Sinclair, Anna Fitzpatrick.

ELIZA AUSTIN-Captain GIIRLS 2NDS The girls 2nd Tennis Team enjoyed another excellent season.They were only defeated once, and that was only because the team was, unavoidably, short by one player, and even then it was a very close match. In all other matches the College team was clearly much stronger than the opposition. Regular players were Emily Kilpatrick, Mandy Steel, Sally Wilson, Christie Fletcher, Melinda Cooke, Sonya Bath, Dianne Bath, Rowena Neunhoffer and Nadine Blyth. Others who participated were Ellen Begley, Rebecca Morphett and Leah Marriner. The entire team is to be congratulated on its fine performances throughout the season.

MRS J COGHILL-Coach GIRLS INTERMEDIATE A The Inter A team had an extremely successful season, remaining undefeated thereby winning their section outright.

The team consisted of Anna Fitzpatrick, Jane McMillan , Amy Young, Jane Lawler, Katrina Dennis, Alice Wettenhall, Simone Kux, Anna Betts and Sarah Roache. The girls were enthusiastic, dedicated, and extremely supportive of one another

It was pleasing to see the squad further developing their skills, particularly their capacity to analyse opponents strategies and how to defeat them. The most exciting match was against Wesley Prahan where spectacular rallies, and brilliant use of topspin shots by our girls won the day. Other highlights included memorable visits to Maccas on the homeward journeys, way out music, and the unwelcome presence of a wasp which tested the courage of the team and coach.

strengths this season.

The Inter B group played very strong tennis to remain undefeated in our matches this season. Unfortunately the other schools in our group could not provide more than the two teams at the Intermediate level, and we had far more enthusiastic players than we could provide a place for each week.

As the summer holidays drew to a close, the team had a training camp with Don Cameron. The start of '98 also saw us lose two of our key players, Tom Davis and Derek Haybittel. Our first match of the year was played at home against Caulfield who out played us 12 sets to 4, although Marcus King and Tae Kim both won a singles and doubles. This match also marked the debut of Adam Carlson, Edward Jeremiah and Ben Nancarrow in the first eight.

The next week saw one of the low points of the season, a 151 thrashing by a superior Scotch College outfit. Tae Kim won our only set, a feat he was to repeat during the season against Haileybury. We rebounded from this somewhat humiliating loss the next week, to record our first win of the season against Carey.

(11 sets to 5) with Tom Wettenhall and Matt Goldsworthy performing well.

Our last match of the year saw our team defeated by Brighton, 15 sets to 1; a disappointing end to the season.

As captain, I would like to thank all the players who put in 100% each week, despite the fact that we were up against tough opposition a lot of the time. The boys should be complimented on never giving up until the final point was played. Also to be acknowledged are the tireless efforts of Mr Smith and Don Cameron, who were in attendance every Wednesday and Friday morning, at 7:30, and who also made the long haul up and back to Melbourne every second week, it was much appreciated.

Our team consisted of Renee Butterworth, Peggy Austin, Jo Silcock, Nicole Manks, Naomi White, Rai Pallett, Sarah Hopkins, Sarah Dennis, Rebecca Herd, Sarah Strachan, Laura Hickey, Shannon Carlson, Alison Shaw and Bridgette Sheehan.

The confidence of the team developed over the season as they proved they were more than a match for their competitors.

Importantly, they always played with good sportsmanship, and worked hard to improve their skills. Well done!

MRS S FISHER - Co-ordinator GIRLS CENTRE COURT A large number of girls at the Open level made a weekly trek to Centre Court Indoor tennis stadium to play in a local competition. The competition proved very strong and whilst wins were few and far between all girls played to the best of their ability and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere generated at the centre.

Regular players in this event included Kate Eastman, Nikki Bruns, Sally Mountjoy, Hannah Bowd, Kate Nelson, Emma Norman, Belinda Peardon, Lucinda Kent, Bindi Menzies, Jean McLean, Vicky

SCOTT SINCLAIR - Captain BOYS 2NDS The Senior Boys 2nds Tennis team had a difficult year in many ways. We came close to achieving victories at times, but in the end were outclassed by the teams of many of the larger Melbourne schools.

Dianne Bath

Tomes, Edwina Dethridge, Sarah Johnstone, Clare Jackson, Penny Ladd, Janey Gwyther, Carolyn Michalak, Louise Lochhead, Sarah Carey, Sophie West, Chalini Gunawardana, Alana Brooks, Lauren Hayes, Jane Mitchell, Timea Partos, Jo Tough and Katie Notini.

What stood out as positives were the attitudes of the players who played their opposition with excellent determination and great spirit. We also had difficulty with injuries to some of our players and this reduced our potential significantly. With George Ritchie playing an excellent role as captain of the squad, Anthony Goode, Simon Roberts, Edward Jeremiah, Fergus Weber, Angus Ward (when available), Robert Moreton, Rohan Teasdale, and Vu Le were the backbone of the team.

MR M WHITTLE - Coach

BOYS 1ST VIII The Boys first VIII tennis team started the year with high hopes, as we had a team that was largely unchanged from last year.

What proved to be our downfall, however, was the fact that by the last round of the season, only 5 of those players remained. This season, we managed to achieve 2 wins for the year, 1 less than last year. A high point of the season was that the College had gained a fantastic complex, in the new Rankin field courts. The 1997-98 team comprised of: Tae Kim, Matt Goldsworthy, Marcus King, Robert Haybittel, Tom Wettenhall, Ed Jeremiah, Lach McCallum, Adam Carlson, Ben Nancarrow, Tom Davis, Derek Haybittel and Scott Sinclair.

The team's first encounter for the season was against Brighton. We performed credibly, going down 9 sets to 7, against the eventual competition runners-up. In the first official round of competition, we came up against last year's second place getters, Wesley, and managed to pull back 5 sets on last year's performance, to go down 11-5. Round 3 saw us away against Xavier, going down 9-7, and losing two sets in tiebreakers. Our ability to close out matches when we were on top was not one of our

BOYS 3RDS AND 4THS The competition faced by the College boys at this level was extremly stong however we did experience some success. Regular players at this level included Rohan Teasdale, Tim Peterson, Will Lancaster, Lachlan Strong, Owen Hickey, Vu Le, Luke Pullin, Sam Marchesani, Will Jennings, Cambell Carmichael, Cameron Boyle and Xavier Duthie. All matches were well played and in fine spirit.

The 4ths tennis team comprised of a floating population of Year 11 and 12 boys had an enjoyably social season. While wins were few and far between the hard core of players played some excellent tennis and experienced bus trips and visits to McDonalds full of joie de vivre.

Particular mention must be made of: Sam Marchesani (Captain), Will Lancaster, Vu Le, Marcus Nation, Tim Petersen, Xavier Duthie and Rohan Teasdale and Des the tennis coaching bus driver.

BOYS 10A

Emily Haylock

The 1998 tennis season included memorable victories over Wesley College and Caulfield Grammar, and some closely contested encounters with Carey, Geelong Grammar and St. Kevins. Early in the term, training sessions concentrated on the development of sound stroke technique, and the weekly fixtures improved the boys match play as they gained experience on a variety of surfaces.

Alex Boyle played well consistently, and sound performances were also recorded by Ben Dew, Ben Roberts, Ben Goldsworthy and Ben Cummins. John Costa, Philip Messenger, Simon Holt, Zac Brennan, and James Urquhart also made positive contributions to the team.

Whilst the team was not as successful as would be hoped, they are to be commended for their enthusiasm and determination during the season. On a number of occasions players fought back to win sets after a poor start had left them significantly behind competitive opposition. Given the improvement in the standard of play throughout 1998, there is reason to look forward to further success in years to come.

Tom Wettenhall

practising skills with court drills and trial matches. During A.P.S. competition the majority of the squad represented the College during Saturday fixtures. Sam West, Marcus Lee, John Campanaro, Marcus McWilliam and Robert Moffat performed solidly in the matches, supported regularly by Tom Jackson, Scott Farquharson, James Allen, Timothy Hodgson, Patrick Myer, Simon Bowler, Charles Hunter and Brad Giblin. The players found the opposition to be challenging, but were able to improve most aspects of their game over Term 1.

MR R SMITH - Coach BOYS YEAR 9 The College entered two teams in the A.P.S. competition at the Year 9 level. The opposition which these teams faced from their often stronger Melbourne competition made the season one in which few wins were recorded. However the boys played to the best of their ability and all matches were characterised by fine sportsmanship. Players at this level included: David Coghill, Julian Calaby, Michael Golding, Andrew Sheahan, and Toby Van Hest.

MR R SMITH - Coach BOYS 10B The 10B tennis squad trained well throughout the season, gaining valuable advice from the visiting specialist coach, and

This year's surf team had some great waves in the build up to the competition as well as the general enjoyment of getting down to Jan Juc and practising for the event. I find this to be my 'toughest' coaching task for the year, that is finding waves and surfing with the students.

This year it became very difficult to choose the final participants for the competition and I thank all those who gave some hours of surfing towards final selection and then missed out.

We came third in the regional placings, but were encouraged in our closeness to Oberon High in the first heat. The competition is now limited to stand up surfing, whereas in the past it has also incorporated body boarders and knee boarders.

Surfing at the College is alive and well in the hearts, minds and bodies of many students, and over the last eight years, we have witnessed some great performances from individuals and teams.

In reference to the history of the event, it is with a great deal of sadness I have to say goodbye to the Brooks family, Shaun, Troy and Alana, who have featured in the competition since 1989.

Thanks to all those surfers out there and this year particularly, being 'The Year of the Ocean'. I hope you have great memories. On behalf of Ms Utting and myself, have a good one!

1ST XVIII This year, 1st XVIII football team has had a very enjoyable season on the field, and whilst we were only victorious in three of our nine official matches, this ensured that our successes were even sweeter.

Our first official game of the season saw us compete against a highly competitive Carey team. The match saw College fight very hard for a victory with outstanding football being played by Tim Birks and Al Munro, but unfortunately we played only three quarters of football and were narrowly beaten.

In round 2 we played our first home game versus Haileybury and superb efforts by Anthony DePasquale and Nick Sanders were not enough to take us over the line, losing, a winnable match.

Round 3 saw us post our first win of the season against reigning premiers St. Kevins at St Kevins. College managed to play four quarters for the only time this season and with Tim Birks and Tom Fallaw showing how the game is really played, College ran away easy victors.

Round 4 saw the much-publicised local derby between Geelong College and Geelong Grammar. College proved too strong winning easily in a one sided affair.Tim Birks and big bustling Sam 'S.C Christensen were the stand out players. Round 5, what a match! College found themselves playing on a symmetrically challenged 'oval' at Melbourne Grammar on a Friday afternoon. In front of their parochial home crowd College stole the win; with seconds to go, first gamer Jake Fitzgerald snapped a point for victory.

In round 6, we took on the league leaders, undefeated Brighton Grammar. We were able to match them in the 2nd and

4th quarters, but lapsed in concentration for the rest of the game and let an upset win slip away. The game reflected the gutsy efforts by the regulars Tim Birks and Al Munro. Round 7 was a wasted opportunity. We played Wesley at Waverley, and after a mammoth bus trip to the venue, we were only rewarded with a three quarter performance. Full Back of the century, Nick Sanders, and rising star nominee, Andy Boehm lead the way in determination, being the best players on the day.

Round 7, last day of school for Term 3. Whilst all other students were receiving their holiday homework, the 1st XVIII were battling out a tough match on the main oval. Unfortunately we were not the goods, losing to a team of very 'large' boys. Round 8 found the team travelling for their last time to Melbourne to play the unknown Caulfield side. Once again we showed we could play 75% of the game strongly and 25% of the game poorly, losing to Caulfield in a seesawing affair.

Our final game for the season saw us take on the season premiers, Xavier. In a tremendous effort the 'G' boys gave the highly rated team a gigantic scare. We were up at the first change and only trailed by the smallest of margins by half time, in the most enjoyable half of football I have played. However the fire in our eyes and mouths died down after half time and we let our guard slip, giving them the breathing space they needed, finally losing by a small margin.

This match typified the season; if we put our wandering minds to the task we could achieve anything.

I must congratulate the consistent efforts by both Nick Sanders and Tim Birks who made Geelong College history when they were picked for the Boys 1st XVIII APS Football Squad in its premiere year.

mention must go to several players who were outstanding. Players such as Steven Green, Chris Gingell, Troy Doak, Simon Craig, Luke Kenfield and Anthony Favaloro were names that were often read out in assembly.

Special thanks must also go to Mr Clifford, who treated us like a bunch of champions, and helped spur on all the chaps!

ANDREW MEEK

Angus Ward, Mr B Read

Anthony Read

I would like to thank Mr P Conway, who not only was an inspiration with his stories about boats, but was also a guiding hand to our team and had a tremendous amount of patience. Also thanks to Mr B Read, who taped many shoulders, ankles and thumbs and rubbed many a body. It was a privilege to have such a man look after us. I would like to thank Anthony Read; without him we would probably have to throw the ball in ourselves.

With a large contingent of eager Year 11 and 10 boys jostling for positions in the 1999 team, College football will be played at a high standard next year, and I wish the team every success.

LACHLAN MCCALLUM - Captain 2ND XVIII The season began promisingly for the College 2nd XVIII. A depleted side lost the first practice match to Xavier but the following week the side performed well against Carey. Squandered opportunities in the last quarter resulted in a narrow loss by less than a goal. Better players on the day included Justin Fitzclarence, Marlon Law, and Jon Hildebrand.

Unfortunately for our team these boys went on to play the majority of the season in the Firsts and acquitted themselves well.

Another good player on the day, Chris Reichl, missed much of the season due to injury which was also a blow to team balance.

The rest of the season proved to be somewhat disappointing for the team. Following a four week break due to the holidays and a bye the team never really regained momentum, finishing the season with four successive losses. However there were positives to emerge from this part of the season, with the rapid improvement of players such as Troy Doak and Sam Lindquist among them. Pleasingly some players such as Fitzgerald and Kilpatrick continued their good form from early in the season.

Special thanks to all those players who contributed through their efforts during the season.

MICHAEL MCMAHON - Coach 3RD XVIII

Nicholas Casboult

The Third XVIII began the 1998 season with high hopes after an undefeated run last year. Winning the premiership in our division saw us move to a stronger competition, which provided for some exhilarating victories and devastating defeats. Each result was always met with incredible emotion due to the unwavering effort by all players and the strong bond between players. In fact, our team strength and mateship saw College's middle range footballers combine to be one of the green and blues' most successful. Each game was fought to the end with passion and courage.

Highlights of the year are difficult to pick, because of the many narrow and hard fought victories, but it is difficult to go past the game against Caulfield which we won by only 9 points and used all team members to record a strong team performance.

Even though the emphasis was on team play this year, special

126

Coaching the Thirds in 1998 was an enjoyable experience.

Anything the boys lacked in skill they made up for two fold with team work and courage. Special mention must go the Captain Andrew Meek who led the team with his tireless running and creative play.

Also mention must be made of Richard (Dick) Selman whose courage and gutsy play running out of the back line was inspiring.

He never stopped encouraging teammates.

MR D CLIFFORD 4THXVIII You don't have to be in the First Eighteen to enjoy your footy. Although the skill level may not be as great as the higher teams, the spirit in the Fourths this year was excellent. We were at all times competitive, scoring a couple of stirring victories. Perhaps the best game of the year was in the final round. With the Year 12 boys playing their last game of football for College and some spirited 'helpers' from basketball and other sources giving their all, the Fourths were narrowly defeated by Caulfield in an exciting, nail biting finish.

Our captain, Andrew Costin, was a fine leader throughout the season. Other consistent contributors included Tom Allen, Andrew Bradbury, Campbell Carmichael, James David, Tim Farr, Daniel Gray, Owen Hickey, Ryan Hutchinson, Charles McDonald and Tim Waller.

MR J KEATING -Coach YEAR 10 A The 1998 Year Ten football season witnessed a competitive effort from a very enthusiastic and talented group of students. I was most impressed with the commitment the team displayed when confronted by much stronger opposition.

The elected Captain and winner of the best and fairest was Andrew Boehm. His record for half the season was impeccable, whether back line, forward line, or on the ball. Other players such as Jamie Bell, Dean Elliot, Dale Cochrane, Dane Balodis, Tom Butler, Ben Collyer, Zach Brennan, Ben Goldsworthy, Tim Allen, Patrick Miller, Heath D'Altera, Tom Betts, James Laidlaw, Jacob Spolding, Nick McDonald,Ted Fizgerald and James Urquhart allowed us to make a competitive fist of the games we played.

James Meek and Cameron Galbraith allowed us a little more flexibility in the ruck ,but the team did suffer from the lack of a ball getting ,'Liberatore like', small man.

The most encouraging aspects of the season were the obvious individual and team improvements. Tim Allen won the most improved player and Patrick Miller was the most courageous.

The big win against Geelong Grammar was pleasing and it was good to have Elliot, Boehm and Luca for the game - each of them being regular members of the 1st XVIII. It is hard to cite highlights as I enjoyed each game and the massive improvement was most evident in the away game against Caulfield. Running, tackling and general ball skills became a clear strength in the final few matches.

I would personally like to thank the year 10's for making my time as coach most enjoyable.

DAVID CURNOW- Coach

Although the lOA's did not experience too many wins this season, the boy's endeavor to win the ball and not to go down without a fight was excellent. The desperation and discipline of the whole squad can not be doubted and what it came down to was not being able to have the best 18 on the field at the same time.

Whether it be through injury, or through commitments with the First XVI11, we were only able to get our best 18 on the field on one occasion. A special thank you must go to Mr Curnow whose efforts throughout the season were greatly appreciated. We would all like to thank him for his time and dedication to the team.

ANDREW BOEHM YEAR 10 B The 10 B's had a good season of competitive football and all players showed very good skills and teamwork. We had some excellent quarters and came away with about a 50/50 win-lose ratio and also a draw to Scotch. All members of the team played good quality football and several passages of play were straight out of the textbook.

Our stand out player for the season was Tass Ward. Playing on the ball and at centre half forward, he regularly won the game for us and was awarded Best and Fairest for his efforts. Alex Boyle also played well including one excellent game where, playing at centre half forward and rover, he got everything and amassed over 35 possessions. James Cox also played exceptionally well to kick 11 goals in one game from forward pocket.

Thank you to our coach, Mr Ian Cochrane for his help and enthusiasm during the season.

ANDREW NELSON YEAR 9 1998 was a difficult year for the Year 9 Footballers.

Competing against some of the large Melbourne schools was a significant challenge. Goal setting revolved around the development of individual and team skills. The mid point of the season saw the team drop back a level and this provided the team with more realistic matches. The end of the season reflected the hard work and improvement in the team, with a resounding victory against Haileybury. Excellent players throughout the year included Nick Bridges, Reid Merriman and Levi Turner (when fit), Mark McGugan and Richard Butler. The year was disappointing in terms of victories but there is a nucleus of enthusiasm and interest in personal improvement to augur well for 1999.

Soccer advanced further into the Senior School this year, and any doubts about its viability or desirability have surely been put to rest. While the quadrennial World Cup was been played out in France, forty College boys enjoyed the annual APS competition in Geelong and Melbourne. Two teams were entered: one, comprising Years 9s and 10s, played in the 10B competition, while the senior boys played in the APS Second Division. Both were very successful. The lOBs, captained by Ben Roberts, recorded five

wins, two losses and two draws and didn't lose a game after the second round; the senior team, led by James Boston, notched up five wins, three losses and one draw (and only lost to Scotch after the second round). More importantly, both teams kicked plenty of goals and played an attractive, attacking brand of football, both showed great spirit and a high level of sportsmanship, and there were no serious injuries.

At the conclusion of the season, the following awards were made to 10B and senior players respectively; Captains Award: Ben Roberts/James Boston. Most Valuable Player: Ben Roberts/Nathaniel Reader. Most Consistent Player: Brett Owen/Nicholas Keays (GK).

Most Improved Player: Simon Holt/Cameron Hart. Goalscoring Award: David Donaldson (5)/James Boston(12). Coach's Award: Stewart Hamilton/David Ellis Other 10B players were: Ryan Albrecht, Tim Andrews, John Carmichael, George Gibbons, Ben Lannan, Douglas Mason, Jonathan Mitchell, Evan Purdey, Daniel Desa, Scott Jordan (GK), Patrick Myer, Philip Naylor, Steven Nichols and Adam Wightman.

Others to play in the senior team were: Niels Becker, Timothy Black, James Cameron, Mark Hanna, Jian Bin Hu, Edward Jeremiah, Peter Kouimtzis, Marcus Lambert, Andrew Napier, Philip Naylor, Nicholas Parks, Andrew Pettig, Jacques de Richebourg and Simon Robertson.

House soccer took place for the first time early in Term 3, with Keith eventually prevailing on goal difference after a tight (11) final against Morrison. Keith were always the favourites, having several players from the senior soccer list in their ranks, but Morrison, led by Tim Birks, Tom Davis and Simon Wetherell, did extremely well and almost caused an upset. 1999 will come around quickly enough and see us compete in the APS First Division (and probably at the Year 9 level also) for the first time. I am already looking forward to next winter very much, and I know Mr Cheatley, my fellow coach, feels the same way. His efforts this year, as in years past, have been exceptional and very much appreciated by the boys in his care. A big thankyou also to those many parents who did so much to support the players, the coaches, and the game itself, at College this year.

GIRLS 1STS If a successful season is measured by the number of wins, then the 1998 Softball season for the girls 1st team was not particularly successful. However the development and growth of individuals and a team, proved that although we only recorded two wins, we were successful. The team, consisting of seven Year 12 girls and two from Year 11, under the watchful eye of Mr Harris, were able to play out a very enjoyable season.

Kirsten Rose

We started the year with the annual round-robin held at Geelong Grammar. We produced mixed results, resulting in a third place; however, this was not to be an indication of what the rest of the season held in store. Against tough competition we played competitively with the best team effort against Wesley in the 3rd round; although we were not victorious, we supported each other and put in 100% effort. We managed to win only two of the eight games - both against GGS - but this did not illustrate the growth and development, evident in each member's level of skill at the end of the season.

Christine Blair and I shared the pitching and her dedication to the team over the past three seasons has been invaluable. She was a reliable vice-captain, and her powerful batting enabled us to score many runs. Melissa Hadley, despite a recurring back injury, capably filled the catcher's position. Rachel Crawford assumed the position of third base with ease. Her strong, accurate throwing prevented many runs being scored, and she led the batting order capably all season. Kate MacMillan on first base was an asset to the team. For her first season of softball, she is to be commended on her fine skills and excellent team spirit; her enthusiasm and support did not go unnoticed. Pip Collins and Kate Paterson were the two babies of the team and they filled the positions of second base and left outfield respectively. They show promise for the first team next year.

Charlotte Paton and Alison Lean were the other two outfielders and they could always be relied on to catch difficult flyballs.

I would like to thank Megan Bell, Hannah Gason, Hanum Juwita and Hannah Jankiewicz for filling in during the season, and Mr Harris for his never-ending dedication to the team; our training was made more enjoyable by his humour!

DANA RYAN-Captain GIRLS 2NDS The 2nd team completed the 97/98 season with some success; there was evidence of improvement in skills, and we had a great deal of fun. Those who played were Laura Bourns, Leah Marriner, Hanum Juwita, Eliza Newson, Angela De Stefano, Annabel Idle, Hannah Jankiewicz, Sonia Hayes, Meredith Elliott, Kate Saleh, Claire Coghill and Janelle Todd. Our coach was Mrs Tol and on behalf of those who contributed for the 2nd team, I would like to wish her well following the birth of her first child.

GIRLS 3RDS The members of this team were Jess Couchman, Joanne Cox, Louise Duff, Jess Koch, Lauren Kuc, Martine Cornish, Hanh Le, Anita Trengrove, Caroline Little, Susan McMillan and Kirsten Rose.

The 3rd team had an enjoyable and successful season, and recorded many more wins than losses. With the aid of our coach, former student Claire (Smurf) Smurthwaite, we worked towards improving individual skills and team play, and many thanks must go to Claire for the time and effort she put into improving our understanding of the game.

INTERMEDIATE A The Intermediate A's had an excellent summer season, and recorded a number of wins. The team consisted of a mixture of Year 9 and 10 girls, and were coached by Fiona Smith, whose knowledge of Softball enabled our skills to improve as the season progressed. Team members were Lucy Simmonds (pitcher), Olivia Tough (catcher) with the in-field positions being taken by Alison Clyne, Jordana Clark, Melanie Biddle and Breanne Jackson. Stefanie Driscoll, Jayne Lamb and Emma Dawson played in the outfield, and Caitlin Strumpel filled in following Meg Torpey's injury.

Thanks must go to Fiona for her excellent coaching, and we all look forward to putting our skills to work during the next season of Softball.

Boys 1st VIII

GIRLS CAPTAIN OF BOATS The 1997-1998 Girls rowing season proved to be both courageous and successful. This year the boatshed has invested in an upgrade of equipment, including the Girls'1st VIII boat 'AD ASTRA' and a new set of oars for the Girls' 3rds. The Girls' 1st VIII, with help from Mrs Karis, designed a new zoot suit that made us look the part when we rowed up the river.

A camp at Falls Creek at the beginning of the summer holidays helped crews finalise and increased their team spirit. The old adage that 'a rowers seat is never final, until the final race of the season' kept each member of each crew on their toes and striving to be at their best.

competition. We all had a fantastic season full of laughter, hope, pain, dreams, tears, nerves and disappointment, but above all it was extremely satisfying and enjoyable.

This year Mrs Danielle Karis was appointed Girl's Coordinator of Boats, replacing Mrs Lethbridge who left large shoes to fill. Mrs Karis must be congratulated on such a fine job of organising and encouraging the girls, and for creating a high spirited and supportive atmosphere amongst the girls this season. Her willingness to share good advice to those in need has meant a lot to everyone.

All the coaches must not go unrecognised as they have devoted lots of time and effort to their crews. This season's senior Head of the Yarra regatta was the first of many events in coaches were Rob Gardener -1st VIII, Ken Smith - 3rd IV, Louise which the 1st Girls competed. Coming fourth put our season off to Monotti - 4th IV, Murray Johns- 5th IV. Many thanks and much a fine start. Other important regattas included the Scotch appreciation goes toward the Parents Support Group for sausages, Mercantile Regatta and the Barwon Regatta. The biggest regatta buns and fruit every Saturday and their mountainous effort was the Head Of The School Girls that combined Senior and Junior organising fund raisers and the Head Of The River Dance which crews and there were over 30 000 competitors from all around • was a complete success and extremely enjoyable Victoria. The highlights of this regatta were victories by the senior ALISON MCMILLAN 3rds and senior 5ths. The Head of the River was the grand finale of the season as it is a combined APS regatta for senior girls and GIRLS 1ST V i n boys. Every girl's crew made the A-Final, but unfortunately no wins The 1998 rowing season for the 1st Girls saw some major were recorded. However, as a club we came equal second overall changes take place at the College boatsheds. The first was that this with Carey. The 1st Girls came a commendable second to a crew season the Girls 1st would be an VIII instead of a IV. The that was unbeaten all season. With a personal best time and competition for these eight seats was extremely tough. This was fantastic row, we were more than proud with our efforts.

The biggest and most important regatta for the Junior Girls was Head of the School Girls. The Yr 9 1st crew came an exceptional 3rd in their final. The Year 9 2nds left every crew behind in their petite final winning by five lengths. The Year 9 3rds came 3rd in their semi final, whilst the Year 9 4ths came 4th in their semi final and the Year 9 5ths came 4th in their final. The Year 10 lsts won their petite final by lengths after just missing out on the final. The Year 10 2nds and 3rds also won their petite finals and the Year 10 4ths came 4th in their final. The Year 10 5ths placed third in the semi final.

This year we had four girls competing in sculls on two occasions. They were all in the Senior Girl's Thirds and displayed strong talent, especially balance! More rowers are being encouraged to row in skulls to improve their individual style and it is great to see them succeeding at the same time.

The 1st VIII consisted of Sally Steel (bow) Sarah Charleston (2 seat) Rachel Mol (3 seat) Alison McMillan (4 seat) Kirilee Milsom (5 seat) Lauren Fleetwood (6 seat) Rosie Bell (7 seat) Lucy Mills (stroke) and Peggy Fidge (cox). It was a new experience for all the girls as it was the first time an VIII has been introduced into the APS

shown in the fact that the crew was not finalised until two weeks before Head of the Schoolgirls. The final Head of the River crew consisted of Sally Steel (bow), Sarah Charleston (2), Rachel Mol (3), Alison McMillan (4), Kiri Milsom (5), Lauren Fleetwood (6), Rosie Bell (7), Lucy Mills (stroke) and Peggy Fidge (cox).

We started the season with high hopes after the Barwon rowing camp. But the crew was dealt a great blow when Rosie fell off her bike and broke her arm. But nevertheless the girls regrouped and rowed well in the gruelling 8.6 km of Head of the Yarra.

Head of the Schoolgirls was our first chance to test our improvement against the National Champions, Geelong Grammar. We rowed well in our heat and semi-final, but didn't get it together in the final, coming third to Grammar and MLC. Head of the River was here and we came up against Caulfield in our heat and beat them convincingly by three lengths. Our hard work seemed to be paying off as we recorded the fastest time of both heats and for a short time held the race record.

We rowed extremely well in the final to come second to Grammar and improve our time by 13 seconds. This was undoubtedly our best race of the season.

On behalf of the 1st VIII, I would like to thank our coach Rob Gardner. He was a great coach all season and without him we would never have been as successful as we were. We would like to thank Mrs Karis, Head of Girls Rowing, for her encouragement, motivation and support throughout the season. Thanks must also go to our parents for their tireless support and fantastic taxi services LUCY MILLS-Stroke GIRLS 3RD IV Throughout Term four and the Falls Creek camp, the Maggie McQuat saw many rowers come and go before the final crew was decided. The 1998 3rd IV also known as the 'Smoothies', became Angela Hamilton (cox), Janet Lang (bow), Jane Butler, and Katie Gladman, in two and three seats respectively, and myself, as stroke.

The season was full of new experiences for us all. There was the challenge of mastering rowing in the Maggie, an incredibly narrow, lightweight racing shell often compared to rowing on a matchstick. Jane and Katie were forced to learn impeccable timing and cooperation to avoid smashing oars. In bow seat, Janet also learned perfect timing and like all bows began to dread the words 'touch it bow'.

Having never rowed fifteen hundred metres at full race pace before, we also felt nervous in our first race about our ability to even make the distance. Our fears proved unfounded however, and we blitzed the opposition, rowing a sub six-minute time for our first race together.

The training between regattas paid off as we won the Scotch Mercantile regatta, the All Schools regatta and the Barwon Regatta.

On the 29th March, we recorded a PB to beat the National Champions MLC, Grammar and Carey to become Head of the SchoolGirls Champions. Before Head of the River we lost only two races, both to an RMIT crew in the Intermediate division.

In the week of the long awaited Head of the River the good luck we had had with injuries and illnesses all season finally ran out. Nevertheless, we pushed on and beat Grammar in the heats on Friday to give us a berth straight into the final. As every rower does in a Head of the River Final, we pushed ourselves to the limit, but we were not good enough on the day. For the first time ever Grammar beat us by two metres in a gutsy performance.

With his energy food, special drinks, graphs, videos, high tech equipment and countless hours spent tinkering with the boat, Ken Smith put more time and effort into coaching us than most coaches would. The dedication, generosity and support he gave us throughout the season were greatly appreciated. Thanks must also go to Betty Anne for her delicious energy cakes; our families for putting up with our bad moods, ferocious appetites and early morning starts and my fellow crew-members for their trust and support throughout the season.

Thanks Ken and good luck to the girls who have the privilege of rowing in your crew next year.

LIZ RYAN - Stroke GIRLS 4TH IV The 1997-1998 season for the Girls 4th IV started promisingly. This was shown by our fantastic results- being undefeated for the majority of the earlier regattas in the season and even placing second in the Novice race at the Barwon Regatta.

With three weeks until Head of the River, the combination of the girls 4th crew was finalised: Lia Bailey (bow), Vanessa Hall (3), Crystal Webster (2), Sophie Farrow (stroke), Juliette Jenner (cox) and coached by Louise Monotti.

The Head Of the river Girls 4th division IV 'A' final was to be ours as we were determined to get over the finishing line first. But that was not to be, as Grammar and Carey crossed the line in front of us giving us third place.

We were not disappointed, as we knew it was our fastest time. It felt good; it looked good; we had a good start. It was our best race as a crew.

We felt we had a very successful rowing season despite the lack of cups or medals, both on and off the river. Thanks must go to all those in the crew, those that came and went, Louise, Rob Kemp, and everyone involved in The College Boat Club, especially the parents support group and our parents.

SOPHIE FARROW- Stroke GIRLS 5TH IV Without doubt the highlight of the season for the girls 5th IV was winning the 'A' final, in the Head of the School Girls regatta.

After coming from fourth position after a less-than-desirable start, we managed to beat St Catherines, Wesley and Loretto in

one of our hardest races of the season. Unfortunately we could not repeat the performance the following week in Head Of the River, coming third in the 'A' final After numerous additions and changes throughout the 1997/'98 rowing season, the girls 5th had enough members to have rowed as an VIII, as opposed to the IV we ended up in! However, skiing, studying, travel, and a comparatively relaxed approach finally narrowed the crew to Jenny Abbott (bow), Ellise Roberts (2 seat), Lucy Paton (3 seat), Olivia Allan (stroke), Sarah Anderson (cox) and Murray Johns esquire (coach).

On behalf of the crew, I would like to thank all our parents for their support and patience, Mrs Karis, Mr Morris, Murray Johns for all his advice and encouragement, Louise Monotti, Jonathon 'Apples', Bob Morse, and everyone else who supported us throughout the season.

OLIVIA ALLAN-Stroke BOYS CAPTAIN OF BOATS There are two ways to think of rowing: an act of propelling a boat with oars, or more simply, a sport of gruelling agony offering the glory of winning. After four years on the river, I'd have to say the latter sums it up almost perfectly.

Few sports demand as much in time, commitment, and spirit, but no sport offers the experiences rowing does. There is nothing like the river early in the morning as a boat cuts through the mist, the sound of eight catches as one, or the call to 'row hard'. There is no feeling like sitting at the start line waiting for the flag to drop, of rowing through a crew in the last 300 metres of a race, or watching the start disappear as you power up the course.

It is the end of College rowing for many of us, and while we leave the shed forever, the memories will always remain.

The 1997-98 season started mid way through Term 4 last year, and while others were winding down, the rowers were gearing up for another season. A steady schedule of weight sessions and ergos gave way to a quick couple of weeks in the boat before the pre-Christmas rowing camp at Falls Creek. The post Christmas camp on the Barwon came around too quickly, and by the start of Term 1, most crews were finalised and preparing for what was a most successful season for the College Boatshed.

Four junior crews raced during the season, along with 4 junior and senior scullers. In the Junior Head of the River at Carrum, all College crews made it through to the A-final where the Year 10 1st VIII, Year 9 1st VIII, and Year 9 2nd VIII all finished 3rd. The Year 9

IV went on to take 2nd place, capping off a great first season of rowing and showing the strength to come in the boatshed.

All five senior crews once again had a great racing season and enjoyed the sport. Out of the 11 schools, College was placed fourth overall on a count back of all crew places at the Head of the River.

Additionally, we were clearly first amongst the coeducational schools.

This year the 5th VIII, 3rd VIII, and 2nd VIII were delighted with their large number of wins. The 5th VIII (ie Year 10 first crew) were especially dominant in their division for the entire season and were placed 2nd in the Head of the River "A" final, while the 4th VIII rowed well in some tough, close races.

The 2nd and 3rd VIII's showed fantastic improvement throughout the season and both demonstrated their strength in their Head of the River "A" finals with 2nd and 3rd places respectively. As a small crew under enormous pressure from some fantastic competitors, the 1st VIII managed a 2nd in the "B" final at the Head of the River.

I would like to congratulate all rowers, both boys and girls, not only for a great season, but also for their camaraderie and for enthusiastically taking up the challenges rowing presented to them. On behalf of the Boatclub, I would like to thank both Mr Morris and Mrs Karis for the season of dedication and support they gave on the river, and to Mr Payne for his support of the juniors.

Thank you to Bob Morse for yet another season of flawless work and quick fixes - his skill and willingness to fix absolutely anything was a constant comfort to all rowers who find smashing equipment so easy. Many thanks to all the coaches for their persistence, time, and effort, and to the parents and the school for their huge support.

To those who are returning to the shed next season, I wish you all the best as you pursue your dreams on the water. It has been an honour to be Captain of Boats for the '98 season, and I wish my successor and all crews every success for the next year.

LACHLAN SMEETON Boys 1ST VIII Back Row: Cameron Hart, Nicholas Keays, Mr M Dingle (Coach), Fletcher Bubb, Lachlan Smeeton Front Row: James Cole, John Cotton, Stuart Lethbridge, Nicholas Saunders, Matthew Connell

BOYS 1ST VIII The flagship of our College boy's crews included an interesting array of dedicated personalities: bow- Cameron Hart, 2Nick Keays, 3- Fletcher Bubb, 4— Lachlan Smeeton, 5- Matthew Connell, 6-James Cole, 7- Nick Sanders, Stroke-John Cotton, Cox - Stuart Lethbridge and Coach- Matt Dingle After the first regatta, the Head of the Yarra, it was clear that there were a few problems to fix. In the short space of time between that regatta and the next, we tried to make improvements. Our times slowly fell until one Monday night, two weeks before H.O.R; we pulled an amazing time of 1:21 for a 500 m sprint. This was best time we achieved for the whole season and we had beaten our previous time by 7 seconds.

In our Head of the River heat there was Geelong Grammar in lane 4, Brighton in 3, Xavier in 2, and the "G boy's" were in lane 1.

In regattas we had not been able to beat even one of these three crews. However, after the first 500 meters, we were rowing technically better than our competitors and it felt really good.

However, by the 750 metre mark, the size of the other crews began to wear us down. Grammar began to take seats from our lead and at the 1250 mark, after we had rated 40 all the way, our clearance fell away. Xavier rowed through us, beating us by 3/4 of a length.

This placed us into the harder repercharge.

Slightly disheartened, we managed to win our rep, over Caulfield by 2-3 lengths, placing us into Saturday's first semi-final.

It was simply too much for us to handle, and we lost by 3 lengths to the other schools. In the "B final we finished 3rd to Melbourne and Carey in a tight race. Our best HOR time of 4:21 was recorded in our heat.

Looking back, I'm sure everyone in the crew would agree that it was an excellent season.

These inspired and highly motivated men learned to unite as one and I'm sure it was a season we will never forget. On behalf of the Geelong College 1st VI11, I would like to thank our Director of Rowing, Richard Morris for all his organisation; the Rowing Parent's Support Group, the Albert Bell Club, our fellow rowers and supporters and most of all, a very big "thank you" to the one man who took 8 hacks and taught "em how to row", our coach, Matt Dingle.

Good luck for the rowing season of 1999!

JOHN COTTON - Stoke BOYS 2ND VIII The 1997-98 season was an extremely successful and enjoyable one for the "Muckies" (the 2nd VIII), mixing social activities like pasta, spud nights and moonwatching with some very strong rowing performances. The crew consisted of (Bow) Michael Plunkett, (2) Mark Hanna,(3) Marlon Law, (4) Tom Allen, (5) Chris Pritchard, (6) James Boston, (7) Andrew Bradbury, (Stroke) Ben Dendle and (Cox) Andrew Pye. Our beloved coach was Geoff Forsyth.

We competed in all of the scheduled regattas, including the ridiculously long 8.8 km Head of the Matthew Connell

Yarra in early February. By Head of the River, the boat was steaming along very nicely and our times supported our confidence. In our heat we faced Haileybury and Xavier College.

Whilst we hadn't beaten Xavier all season, this time we did, with some of our best rowing ever. This put us straight into the semifinal. Again we rowed well to finish first, with Scotch second and Haileybury third.

Now the moment of truth- the 'A' Final. Having not raced Brighton for over a month, we were uncertain as to whether we had made up any ground. Although we raced better than previously, we were unable to defeat the fantastic Brighton Grammar crew. This team took an early commanding lead and were eventual winners by a length. We won a close fought battle for second with Scotch, with Melbourne Grammar three quarters of a length behind in fourth position.

We would like to thank our coach, Geoff Forsyth for his huge time commitment, dedication and belief in us all season. In the years to come, we are sure the 'Muckies' will have many successes under his expertise. Also our appreciation must go to Richard Selman, the tenth member of the crew, as he eagerly helped us out by filling in for absentees on several memorable occasions.

BEN DENDLE - Stroke BOYS 3RD VIII I knew from the start that this was going to be a different season from previous ones. For starters, the selection process was different and for the first couple of weeks, the first three crews trained as a squad. Another difference was that initially we did not have a permanent cox until Kate Betts, a displaced rower from a senior girls crew became our new cox for this different season!

After the Falls Creek rowing camp, we ended with a squad of eleven rowers. All were trying to impress our coach, Andrew Geary, in order to cement a seat in our boat, the 'Peter Philp'. It was finally time to pick a crew of eight from a squad of eleven. Coach 'Geary' had the difficult job deciding which three to drop. Unfortunately, Richard Selman, David Ellis and Torben Anderson were the unlucky ones. Credit must go to them for not giving up rowing, as they continued to row in the 4th's or scull. We went into HOR with the combination of Sam Lindquist (Bow), Craig Scott (2), Charles Edgar (3), James David (4), Luke Kenfield (5), Andrew Napier (6), Tim Birks (7), John Arrigo (Stroke) and Kate Betts (cox).

The Head of the River saw us drawn with our regular racing partners, Melbourne Grammar. We were also up against Scotch and St Kevins in the heat. Our second place here, in front of Scotch by half a length, put us into an easy repecharge on the Friday afternoon. We cruised through this event two lengths ahead of Geelong Grammar and five lengths in front of Caulfield Grammar.

However, our semi final with Xavier and Brighton Grammar was going to be tough. After trailing for most of the race, we finished one length in front of Brighton and two thirds of a length behind Xavier after a strong comeback.

This led us into the "A" final. After getting the jump on the other crews in what was our best start for the season, the race was won by Melbourne Grammar, one length ahead of Xavier and a further three quarters of a length to us. Just to make the "A" final is an effort in itself, and many thanks must go to our great coach, Andrew Geary for a fantastic season.

JOHN ARRIGO-Stroke

BOYS 4TH V i n The 1998 senior 4th VIII consisted of Liam Cooke (Bow), Nick Lowe (2), Chris Donaldson (3), David Ellis (4), Edward Spokes (5), Shane Groom (6), Aaron Hunt (7), Tom Forbes (Stroke), Timothy Farr (Cox) and Adam Morgan as coach When the big Head of the River day came, we were very excited. We had drawn three schools that we thought were easy competition in our heat. In the first 100m of the heat, we drew out half a length in front! However, our rudder was broken and as a result of having no steering, we veered into the access lane, hit a buoy and lost a rower to the murky depths of the river. This was upsetting for all of us.

None of us will ever forget the training sessions where Adam got into the boat and the workload would drop dramatically from what was planned. There were times when he got angry, and times he laughed a little too hard at his own jokes, but no coach could ever have given us more spirit, more motivation and more commitment. We wouldn't have been able to do it without him. In getting to know us, he taught a lot about creating and achieving goals. Maybe we even got a lot more out of the experience than the winning crew!

TOM FORBES - Stroke BOYS 5TH V i n The 5th VIII of 1998 had a great season that was enjoyed by all. We rowed very consistently and experienced success in all regattas. This inspired crew consisted of Charles Roy (bow), Scott Jordan, Lachlan Pearce, Robert Crittenden, Tim Allen, James Milsom, Cameron Galbraith and Andrew Nelson (stroke). Our able cox was Brett Owen.

It didn't take us long to realise that whilst we were very competitive in regattas, it takes a special crew and huge effort to end up winning the Head of the River. Apart from ourselves, we soon discovered that Melbourne Grammar was also moving very quickly, and that it was going to be a real battle. In the major regattas we did

1998 has seen been a year of great achievement for the Geelong College Fencing team. The Geelong College 'A' team consisting of Craig Smith, Robert Hodgson and myself was looking forward to a very successful one indeed. The year commenced with a resounding victory in the School teams event, crushing all opposition, including long standing rivals Geelong Grammar, by winning the foil, sabre and epee.

In the School Teams State titles held later in the year, the College 'A' team conceded first place to Geelong Grammar after some disappointing fencing in the final round (our first loss for the year). Even with this defeat they showed their true style continuing the College tradition by taking home the Sabre trophy for the eighth consecutive time.

In coming second in the State event we qualified for the National School Teams competition in Sydney. This was held on the 3rd of July during the school holidays. Two of the four people who made up the team had been to the National titles before, and knew how tough the competition was going to be over four gruelling days of competition. Even knowing this the College team did not shrink from this task. In the team's event we stomped our way through four of the seven teams that were there. We took a

exceptionally well, recording two seconds and a first.

The enthusiasm and sheer fitness of our coach, Matt Rice, had us all panting behind him in any exercise we did. It was this enthusiasm that led to our crew's eventual success and he showed us what a little bit of hard work could do. The intense training brought a rapid improvement in technique and also improved our fitness.

After a number of regattas, it was finally time for the Head of the River. In the heats we drew with our main rival, Melbourne Grammar, the only crew to beat us. We ended up coming second to them, recording the second fastest heat for the day. Our second place put us into the semi-final scheduled for early Saturday morning. In the harder of the semis we allowed Scotch to take the race to save our energy for the Fifth Division 'A' final.

In the final race, a slow start saw us behind our season-long rival, Melbourne Grammar, by half a length after 500 metres. They increased this gap to over threequarters of a length at the 1000. We closed the margin considerably and passed Scotch. However, it was too late to catch Melbourne Grammar and the final margin in the 'A' final was half a length. We had come second and although disappointed, everyone was proud of our achievements.

Special thanks must go to our fantastic coach, Matthew Rice, for a great season.

ANDREW NELSON-Stroke

respectable third place, a commendable result considering the skill of the other teams.

In the individual School event Craig Smith and myself both placed equal 9th and Robert Hodgson placed 20th. With the first day over only I continued on in the competition in the U17's foil and epee. After a shocking start to the day, I finished again just out of the top eight in the foils and in the epee I was resigned to the same fate, losing again the bout that would have got me into the finals.

With two of our three fencers, Craig and Robert, leaving at the end of this year, we will be looking to the up and coming fencers at the senior school. By the look of the talent, next year should be a very successful year for College fencing.

Finally I would like to thank our coach, Neil Hick for his invaluable experience has been the mainstay of our team. When things really looked down he was there to bring back the determination that is valued by the Geelong College fencing team.

For this, and his unwavering support, good humor, and friendship to all of the fencers on the team, I offer, on behalf of the entire fencing team, our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for his hard work throughout the year.

Charlotte O'Loughlin

GIRLS 1STS 1998 is a year to remember for the 1st girls netballers and our coach Mrs O'Loughlin, for it has been a season of triumph. The premiership cup was won in terrific style, with consistently high standard netball leading to our success.

We all knew that the season was too short to make mistakes.

We had to become a single team, instead of a team of eight individual players, in just a couple of weeks. The pressure was on to fill the positions left by last year's Year 12s. Luckily for us, Edwina Blackney and Sarah Johnston were there, combining well with the other members of the team, and adding strength to our defence line.

The season began strongly with two convincing wins. We were confident as we travelled to Melbourne to play archrivals and defending champions, Caulfield Grammar. The match was fiercely competitive, however when the final whistle blew it was to our dismay that Caulfield had managed to win by three goals. We now knew that it was up to us to fight back and not lose hope of beating them when it was their turn to make the trip down the highway.

O'Loughlin. I would like to congratulate her, on behalf of all the girls for yet another successful season.

1st Netball Team 1998: Eliza Austin, Lucy Cummins, Kate Macmillan, Charlotte Paton, Edwina Blackney, Rosie Bell, Christie Fletcher, Sarah Johnston, Leigh Matheson. Coach: Mrs M.O'Loughlin.

ELIZA AUSTIN-Captain GIRLS 2NDS For the 2nds netball, it was a great season for every one as the premiership cup being ours for the second year in a row. Hard training sessions twice a week with the first's paid off with the winning of the premiership and all members of the team were very satisfied with their accomplishments throughout the season.

The coaching changed a number of times throughout the season with Miss Utting, Mr. Young and Mrs. O'Loughlin all contributing to the success of the team through their constant encouragement and enthusiasm.

We finished the 2nd term's round of matches by defeating Geelong Grammar and Carey convincingly, and winning the Kardinia Park Monday night competition. These matches and strong wins all added to the team spirit that in later matches, proved to be important to our premiership win.

After the holidays we had two home matches in a row, and the support of parents and teachers created an atmosphere that will be hard to forget. In our best match of the season we defeated Wesley, and thus we were ready to take on the Caulfield girls.

Although suffering from nerves we were ready to win, and win we did. The match was close from beginning to end, and was not short on drama. In the second quarter we lost best and fairest, Lucy Cummins; this could have ended any hope of winning the match but the girls settled, stayed focused and encouraged each other. The final minutes of the match saw Caulfield fight back from 12 goals down to just one goal in arrears; however we managed to hold onto victory. All that was needed to win the joint premiership was a win over Geelong Grammar. In another nail biter we held off a strong Grammar side by one goal, and the cup was ours!

All of this would not have been possible without the dedication of all team members and the expertise of our coach Mrs.

1st Netball Back Row: Christie Fletcher, Sarah Johnstone, Edwina Blackney, Rosie Bell, Leigh Matheson Front Row: Kate Macmillan, Lucy Cummins, Mrs M O'Loughlin (Coach), Eliza Austin (Captain), Charlotte Paton

Although there were many individual achievements, everybody worked extremely well to produce the fantastic result. Many players stood out within the team but special recognition should be given to Sally Wilson who was awarded best and fairest for the season.

Special thanks to Miss Utting, and Mrs. O'Loughlin for their support and coaching throughout the season with the help of Mr. Young in the last few games.

KATE PATERSON GIRLS INTERMEDIATE

Charlotte Paton

This year seventeen girls were selected for the APS netball squad. In the past, College has had a reputation for being strong in netball, and this year was no exception. The Intermediate Bis dominated their division, going through the season undefeated.

Although the A's put in a spectacular effort, slightly better competition deemed them unable to match the B's feat.

Consequently they were placed second, narrowly defeated by Caulfield. The team spirit of the squad shone on and off the netball court, and when this was combined with a high level of skill and fantastic coaching from Mrs Porter and Ms Utting, the result was an enjoyable and successful season of netball.

JANE MCMILLAN KARDINIA PARK 1998 saw 15 Senior School teams entered at Kardinia Park Netball. Continuing our tradition of strength in this sport, we entered the finals seasons with 8 teams. Five of these made it through to the Grand final with College Orange and College Gold winning their divisions in some very exciting games.

The Geelong Netball Association awarded Runners Up Best and Fairest to Brydie Meek in B Grade and Amanda McDonald in B2 Grade.

Thanks must go to Lois Colwell for her fantastic efforts as convenor of the competition, Mrs Ros Palmer for her coordination of the Kardinia Park competition, all the coaches for their tireless efforts and the parents and other supporters.

Good luck to all those who compete next year.

MRS P PORTER

For the students interested in equestrian events, 1998 was a year of achievement as for the first time College entered several teams in the Interschool Equestrian Show Jumping and Dressage competitions.

The Dressage competition was held on the 17th of April during the holidays. College entered four teams in this competition.

Team 1 comprised of: Madison Kerney riding Holly Stephanie Dijkstra riding AEA Dutch Gem placing 2nd and 4th, Bron Pettitt riding Perisher Time placing 5th and 18th, Vicki Tomes riding Portrait Painter placing 4th and 17th Team 2 comprised of: Jodean Ross riding Bubbles placing 28th and 29th, Nicole Paisley riding Mussie placing 6th and 7th, Georgina Allen riding Manca Hotshot placing 4th and 5th, Rebecca Richards riding Corradine Ibn Dahjal placing 15th and 20th.

In the school results Team 1 finished just outside the placings with a 7th.

I would like to thank Mrs Hazell and Miss Utting for organising College to participate in the Interschools competitions. I would also like to thank all the parents involved in organising and supporting these events. HORSELAND must also be thanked for very kindly sponsoring our equestrian teams with eight saddle cloths.

We wish her all the best in her new position of Head of Bostock House at Geelong Grammar School.

In the almost 20 years that David has taught in this school, his contribution has been immense. Appointed to teach Maths, David brought to the task a rare combination of skills - the academic rigour and delight in aesthetics of the pure mathematician and the well-grounded practicality of the applied mathematician. He is equally at home with Fermat's last theorem or a practical farm maths day for Year 9 at Boona.

After two years he took over as Director of Music and steered the College to the fine instrumental program we have today and showcased each year at the Foundation Concert in Costa Hall, Deakin Woolstores campus.

One of Harry's greatest achievements has been the establishment of the Geelong College Concert Band which became a force to be reckoned with in the Eisteddfods at Geelong, Ballarat and Warrnambool.

With the development of a very strong string programme under the leadership of Ms Marilyn Keogh, the formation of the College Symphony Orchestra became a reality and Harryis first love as conductor developed.

A highlight for these two groups was the trip to Sydney to the International Music Festival in 1992. The College gained selection after audition through tape and every student remembers fondly the experiences of playing in the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Town Hall and then on another occasion at Parliament House.

Each year it has been the endeavour of Harry to tour with the Band and Orchestra or to hold a six day music camp. Tours have included country Victoria, Adelaide and Tasmania.

Harry Hood has had great foresight in the development of a College music library which is certainly the best in the district and which would make many Melbourne schools envious.

The Music Parents' Support Group formed by Harry in 1992 to help

raise money for the trip to the International Music Festival, has continued and has been the model for other parent support groups.

The summer Music camps, a popular event for hundreds of students over the years, brings together students from many different schools, backgrounds and musical abilities. Harry has played a major role in the organisation of these camps and he will continue to play a part in this event.

The music faculty wish to thank Harry for his leadership and support over the years and we wish him well in his semi-retirement. Harry will return as an itinerant brass teacher in the new year and will pursue other rural interests in the district of Maldon.

have been big or small.

David has also been able to share with students some of his other passions, not least his love of the outdoors and the Australian bush. In the days when it seemed easier to organise clubs in the school, David was responsible for the Bushwalking Club which gave some of the less sportsminded students an alternative opportunity for physical activity. In other sporting activities, David has been responsible for badminton, which provided him with an opportunity to enjoy the company of many of the overseas students.

Concern for the well-being of students has led David to a number of significant roles in pastoral care in the school. For nine years he was a tutor in Mackie and from 1980 to 1988 he was Head of McArthur, a job which David loved and found very fulfilling. He was an ideal counsellor and friend to students with his genuine interest in their progress and welfare and an ability always to see the best in people.

Perhaps David's most enduring legacy to the College has been the development of Health Education. The implementation of this program 11 years ago was due almost entirely to David's concern for the welfare of students and his commitment of time and energy has been unflagging.

That over half the staff have been, or are, involved in teaching Personal Development is a great tribute to David's work in this area.

David is a modest and unpretentious man, a person of great integrity, compassion and wisdom and a passionate advocate of the disabled and disadvantaged. A man of strong and well-informed views, which he is not afraid to express with conviction, he also has an open mind and a generous spirit and is always prepared to consider a different point of view. His whimsical sense of humour will be missed by many he has a capacity to find an apt story or cartoon for almost any situation.

At a time when increasing pressures and expectations and an exponential rate of change can leave even the most capable teacher feeling out of control, David has a strong sense of those things in life which are of true and enduring value. He takes with him in retirement the respect, the appreciation and the affection of his colleagues and students.

Undoubtedly The Geelong College is a better, kindlier and more caring place because of the time that David has spent in it. We will miss him very much. We thank him for all he has done for the students and staff of the College and we wish David and Barbara a very long and very happy retirement.

her formal employment here, and, through her contact with the Friends of the College, and her three Old Collegian children, it is likely to extend well into her retirement. Her husband, John, became head of Maths and also of Wettenhall House in 1975 and from then onwards Janet's wisdom and scholarship has been sought after by the College. By 1978 she had been recruited to teach a computing option to a senior maths class. This was at a time when the College began blazing the trail in computer technology, with one computer between three classes, which Janet insists was in constant use from early morning until 10.00pm at night! Janet was

DAVID MILLER David Miller, a passionate, spirited and concerned person in all that he undertakes, arrived in 1986 from Monivae College and now leaves us to take up a position of head of Science at Toowoomba Grammar School.

A Senior chemistry and junior science teacher throughout his time at College, David has been a key contributor to the recently evolved Year 9 Curriculum Standards Framework course at College. David also saw the development of "concept maps" in Chemistry as a valuable learning aid for students and the basis for research in the completion of a Master of Education degree at Melbourne University.

Indicative of David's approach as Head of Coles House over the past eight years has been his consistently displayed concern for the welfare of each individual. David has expressed great satisfaction in knowing that he has managed to engender an increased sense of "belonging" within the House, succeeded in re-directing some "miscreants" and challenged each individual to only be satisfied when they have given of their best.

Welfare of the staff has also been a key focus in David's time on

program at the Gordon).She graduated to become Head of Maths in 1984 for one year and then moved to the Preparatory School to make use of another of her degrees, a BA, and taught French. Janet remembers that she took over the French class after two teachers had departed, according to her charges, because they had made life too difficult for them! Those of us who know Janet will realise that this challenge strengthened her resolve not only to stand firm, but also to have the students speaking French. And speak it and write it they did!

By 1986 Janet had returned to Mathematics at the Senior School and became the Director of Staff Development, a position she held until 1988 when she was invited to become the Head of McArthur House. She relinquished this position in 1997 after a most happy and successful association for both herself and the students.

LISA RUSSELL Lisa Russell came to the College in 1988. Initially she taught Year 2 but over her ten years she taught at all levels at Campbell House. She enjoyed teaching immensely and this was apparent in her relationships with the children in her class. They felt important and secure in the knowledge that there was a special place in Lisa's heart for each of them.

She managed to develop a classroom where each child was respected for the contribution that he or she could make and where there would be fair treatment for all. The period spent teaching at the Prep level will, in retrospect, remain the most significant and rewarding time for Lisa as she regards it as a privilege to be a child's first teacher at school. Many of the special activities recall the excitement engendered by the annual hatching of the chickens, the dress up days as nursery rhyme characters and Lisa and the children tottering about in kimonos and grappling with Maria Smith
