1999 is a pivotal year on many counts. We are poised to enter not just a new century but the third millennium. This extraordinary conjunction invites us to pause and consider our relatively humble, local place in the vast parade of life. Ours is, in fact, only the second "cohort" of the Christian era to experience the excitement of a millennial culmination. From this spectacular vantage point, while most of the detail of the two thousand years past fades into the sands of time, the memory of meaningful human accomplishment remains lodged deep within us to guide and inspire our own thoughts and acts into the future. At The Geelong College today, we are the inheritors of an estimable tradition stretching back over almost 140 years. Short as these years may seem against the far greater span of two millennia, they are nonetheless rich with the collective history and personal stories of the many thousands of boys — and since 1974, girls — who have passed along the way of school life here. 1999 marked, in fact, the full quarter century - and full maturation - of coeducation in the College. What this school strives to exemplify is the search for knowledge of the world through the discover)' of the inner self in a constructive relationship with others. In our learning community, this search takes many forms, radiating from the classroom across the playing fields and through various performance spaces into, more recently, the global culture through the power of the Internet. If the comfort and security of home base seems sometimes to be left well behind along the way, it is nonetheless from here, in the first place, that we derive our sense of worth and draw the resources to face the challenges of today and tomorrow. The major guiding forces of this journey through early childhood into young adulthood are, of course, parents and teachers who work together in a partnership — mostly harmonious! — of mutual interest and benefit to the children they love and care for. Through their knowledge and experience of life, they have acquired the means and the skill of transmitting the accumulated wisdom of the years to their charges. This wealth is expressed in many ways, but the thread running through it all is the spirit of collective generosity. This spirit was brilliantly exemplified in the glorious "flowering" of the Recreation Centre in midNovember last year, which for so long had lingered as a dream for successive generations of Collegians (indeed, since 1969!). This splendid facility which grew over the months into a light and airy structure, full of grace, captured the imagination of the whole school

community. With its spacious interior, clean lines, elevated ceiling, warm textures and harmonious proportions, this building creates a truly satisfying sense of unity and openness. This openness is then extended visually through the tall glass doorways and windows out onto and across the grassy stretch of the main oval. Our community, whose generosity was so firmly behind this project, will enjoy its fruits for many generations to come. We have also been reminded of the span of the years and their particular significance for the College through our celebration of the immense scientific achievement of our most distinguished Old Collegian, Sir Macfarlane Burnet (Nobel Prize for Medicine in I960), on the occasion of the centenary of his birth. His life's work in the fields of immunology and virology serves as a great model for the high-minded scientists of the next millennium. Here at the College, in the course of this year, we have paid tribute in a number of different ways to his memorable discoveries, which have enduring relevance for the research fields of tomorrow. And with a laboratory to be refurbished and named in Burnet's honour, the journey from his humble College origins into the wide world of scientific acclaim, will be permanently inscribed in the teaching and learning fabric of his old school. Absolute excellence in the traditional fields of prowess — academic and co-curricular — does not, of course, touch every student of the College but it is our avowed aim for each and every one to strive for personal distinction. Our prime duty today, as it has always been, is to ensure that every possible opportunity is given to our students to realise their worth and to see this valued as they grow within this learning community. It is our responsibility to invest this young growth potential with a sense and a direction — based on a governing set of values we defined so much more purposefully this last year — which will enable each student to make their own individual mark in a world which, in a few short years, may well appear largely unrecognisable by comparison with the one they knew during their time here at College. DR P TURNER - Principal

Head of Preparatory School The Geelong College Preparatory School is a comprehensive school. It is a "doing" school. Children are encouraged to fulfil their true potential in academic, artistic, sporting, social and community involvement areas. We don't test children to screen them before entry, nor do we push children away from our school if they are having difficulties with their work or social relationships. We do expect that all of our children will take up some or all of the opportunities that are offered by the school. We do expect that our students will represent the school and their families with pride and we do expect that our students will give of their best in everything that they do. To help us achieve these aims, we do ask for parental support. A school cannot operate without support from parents or indeed grandparents and without good communication between the school and home. We have an active Prep. Parents Association who provide invaluable support to the school and we believe that our systems of communication are very good. A comprehensive school is one where every student is exposed to a wide variety of activities, regardless of their ability. These activities include the normal curriculum offerings of Maths, English, Science, SOSE, LOTE and PE. In addition, we add Drama, Music, Art, Sport, Outdoor Education, Environmental Education and Health. It is true that some students take up many of these offerings and that some only take up a few. (As parents we know that as children get older, it is difficult to force them to take up challenges, but steering into new areas is highly encouraged!) We believe that by offering this huge range of activities, we not only give each child the chance to stand out in their area of strength but we also encourage participation in an area that may be unknown or untried. Our Camping program gives students from Year 3 to Year 8 the opportunity to go away from home with their peers and staff. For some, the move away from parents means an important step towards independence, which is vital as they move through adolescence and into adulthood. They participate in a variety of activities that challenge them to think, co-operate, discuss and problem solve, and as well there are the physical challenges!

Notables and various academic competitions. To consider involvement in all of these would send most people's minds into a spin. However, some of our students took part in many or all of these activities! As a staff, we have focussed our Professional Development resources on the provision of a differentiated curriculum. That is, catering for the needs of different abilities within our normal classrooms. We recognise that not all children learn at the same rate and that not all children learn in the same way. We have carefully considered the research into Middle Schooling in Australia and the rest of the world. This research suggests that students in Middle schools should have exposure to fewer teachers as would be the case for Primary schooling, in order to allow for staff to spend time with students to better understand their problems and oversee academic progress as they enter adolescence. In addition, it suggests that Primary students should be exposed to greater movement in order to get used to the secondary way of doing things. As a result, from the start of 2000, all Year 7 Homeroom teachers will teach at least one core subject or two minor subjects. This will ensure that each Year 7 Homeroom teacher is familiar with each student. Issues such as time management, homework management, social relationships and relationships with staff will be monitored closely. As exists in all other year levels, the Homeroom teacher remains the initial point of contact for all matters relating to students in their class. This has indeed been a busy year, and one which reflects the broad range of activities that are taken up by both staff and students. It has been in all respects a 'doing' year. I thank all members of the school community for their support throughout the year. MR C LAWSON - Head of Preparatory School

During the year we have offered additional activities including Debating, Tournament of Minds, Maths Olympiad, Maths Talent Quest, Science Talent Search, Model Solar Car construction, Inter school sport, Ceramics, Writer's Workshop, the Year 6 Challenge, the Year 8 Production, Music performance evenings, Year 6 M.V.P., as well as House leadership opportunities, Inter House competitions, Peer Mediation training, Night of the

The completion of the Recreation Centre is a significant achievement for The Geelong College. Several people have played a key role in making the dream a reality. It will be a lasting testimony to the planning and guiding hand of the Principal, Dr Pauline Turner, who decided that the time was right, and then took the overall responsibility for steering the project through to its completion. Alan Williamson and members of the School Council supported the idea and approved the funding, and The Geelong College Foundation managed the Centre Appeal and convinced many members of the parent body and Old Collegians to give generously. Historically, it is the finishing touch to the Rolland Centre, conceived back in 1967 to be built in three stages. The first stage, comprising large locker and changing rooms, the weights room, aerobics room and offices was completed in 1969 and opened by well-known sportsman and Old Collegian, Lindsay Hassett. The gymnasium and squash courts were added in 1984. The College community has waited thirty years for the Recreation Centre to become a reality and it is well worth the wait. The complex gives the College an indoor training and competition facility unrivalled in Geelong and in most other schools. The indoor diving pool alone, while not unique, is the only one in Geelong. The new building blends seamlessly with the rest of the Rolland Centre, exemplifying the architect's attention to detail and adding to the visual cohesiveness of the school's architecture. On Saturday, 13 November 1999 over 400 people, glamorously clad in evening attire and fish-shaped name tags, surrounded the pool to witness its official opening by Old Collegian and Commonwealth and Olympic Games medal-winning swimmer, Mr Peter Doak. Aptly named "The Big Splash", the evening combined the opening of the indoor pool with the

celebration of twenty five years of co-education at the College, in a gala ball held in the school gymnasium. The gym was completely transformed into an underwater environment with special green and blue lighting effects, dolphin balloons, shell candles and silver "seaweed" table centrepieces. Guests were greeted by an enthusiastic group of Year 10 Drama students, some in colourful neck-to-knee bathers and others wearing "bollard" costumes, - replicas of Geelong's famous bayside tourist attractions. The party atmosphere was evident throughout the evening. Barry Edwards and his twelve piece "Jump 'n' Jive" Orchestra provided dance music until lam and many people commented subsequently, that that it all seemed to go too quickly. It was a glittering evening, celebrating the opening of the longawaited Recreation Centre in style. Work on the pool and accompanying sounds of construction have been a constant feature of College life this year. First it was just an enormous hole in the ground, but gradually the brickwork started rising and real, above-the-ground progress could be seen. There were a number of "dramas" along the way including the discovery of a mysterious leak during testing, and the very real possibility of not being able to fill the pool as a result of Geelong's water restrictions, but all were successfully resolved. The anticipated completion date came and then passed. The pressure on the architect and builder to finish in time increased exponentially as "The Big Splash" approached. Even on the Saturday morning, feverish finishing touches were still being put in place by some contractors at the same time as preparations were being made for the evening's opening event, but by 7pm, everything looked marvellous. Not only is the centre a very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing addition to the school's facilities, it is also technically

advanced. No chlorine will be used as the latest ozone-bromine filtration system, considered superior from health, economic and technical viewpoints, has been installed. Designed by Architects, McGlashan Everist and built by Max Findlay and Associates, the centre boasts an eight lane 25 metre, variable depth pool, (built to FINA standards,) an indoor diving pool with one metre and three metre diving boards, seating for spectators, extensive changing rooms and new offices for staff. The spectacular design features a broad expanse of ceiling, with natural light entering through a full length skylight. There is very little overhead ducting, which accentuates the clean, open appearance of the pool interior. The surface of the water is flush with the surrounding tiles, which creates an interesting continuous effect. There is a huge expanse of glass, in both the windows and sliding doors, on the northern and western walls of the building, which links it visually to the pleasant green aspect of the main oval. An underground heating system will ensure that warm air is directed up these glazed areas so they do not become fogged up by condensation. The new Year 12 Common Room was built upstairs, next to the Aerobics Room, as part of the Recreation Centre project. It was completed earlier in the year to enable

current Year 12 students time to use and enjoy it. The Recreation Centre has been designed, built and staffed to enable the best possible teaching, training and recreation environment in Geelong. It is an exciting prospect to have such an outstanding facility to back-up the work and enthusiasm of the staff, coaches and students involved in aquatic sports at the College. It will add another dimension to the fitness and crosstraining opportunities for students involved in other sports and for the Physical Education program. Sport Department staff will provide students with the assistance and encouragement they need to prepare for APS competition in Swimming. The centre will enable them to revitalise the girls' swimming program and reintroduce competitive swimming for the boys. It is seventeen years since College has been represented at a Combined APS Swimming Carnival by a team of boys. Swimming, Diving and Water Polo will be added to the list of school sports, and other aquatic activities such as scuba diving, life saving and canoeing are a possibility.

School Captains Earlier this year the Prefects were asked to guide a group of Old Collegians around the school so that they could see how it had changed in the fifty or so years since they were students. At times it was hard to get a word in because they had so many stories to tell. I could see how precious the school was for them in the way they laughed and remembered. They didn't need me because they had each other, the school and the memories. It was on that day that I met my father's old rowing coach and many people who knew my late grandfather. I realised that The Geelong College is much more than a teaching institution. This school has an energy that links people together. The walls of The Geelong College hold many stories and the bricks in the Cloisters have been weathered by the footsteps of every collegian to walk through the Talbot Street Gates. We all contribute to the growing archive of stories and memories and our footsteps wear down the bricks. We are creating the history of the school and I am very proud to be a part of that history.

With the whole world on the verge of a new and uncharted millenium, I and my fellow Year 12s who are about to enter a whole new and unknown period of our lives are presented with an unique situation. We are torn in many respects, between the future and the past. We are more anxious than ever about what the coming years will present, yet we cannot afford to forget what has gone before us. This past is so important not just in shaping the future, but in defining who we are. The Geelong College is an institution that has managed to achieve a symbiotic complement, a balance of these two defining elements. One of the most important elements of the College is its rich sense of history and tradition. From the old buildings that radiate character, to the pride continually stirring in the hearts of its members when a time-honored football song or war cry is expounded after a College victory, history and tradition abound. So the backbone of the College community is formed. In such an everchanging world, it is the thread of school spirit, pride, and tradition that can cross generations and even centuries to link its members.

This year's students have contributed much to the history of the school. For the first time, prefects were given portfolios. Each prefect took an area of the school on which they concentrated their attention. This successful endeavour set a precedent for future years. The building of the synthetic Rankin Field and more recently, the new Recreation Centre, will also be an event we will remember just as Old Collegians remember buildings such as the old grand stand. Furthermore, students who have broken records and achieved academic merits set a place for themselves as part of the ever-expanding story of The Geelong College.

What I will miss most about College is not just this sense of history and pride, but also the camaraderie it builds. Some of my greatest memories are not the wins in sport, but the friendships and close bonds formed between teammates. In the spirit of appreciating what is now the past I wish to thank my teachers, coaches and friends who have all been so instrumental in shaping my experience at College and aiding my growth as a person. Special appreciation is extended to my teachers, particularly those from my final year. They without doubt, go beyond the call of duty, always being available for that last minute help or reassurance that our CAT is good and no, they were not lying last time they said that.

The energy of The Geelong College exists in every student, teacher and parent involved with the school. It is this energy we take with us when we take to the stage in music or drama. It is this energy we take onto the sporting field and to debating competitions. It is this energy that will later lead to two Old Collegians recognising each other on the street. When I entered the school for the first time I could feel it and I still do. The Geelong College has a spirit of community and welcome and a sense of tradition that exists even in today's students.

My hope for the future of College is that it will continue to maintain its blend of past and present. While we cannot afford to forget the tradition and spirit so essential and defining of our school, we also need the wisdom and sense to know when to change and when to incorporate new things. The complete introduction of coeducation and the extension of school spirit and pride for girls' sports as well as the older and more traditional boys' sports are a telling example of this and will hopefully continue for years to come.

This energy is not however restricted to extra-curricular activities. In the classroom, our teachers work endlessly to make sure our dreams can be achieved. Outside the classroom, the nonteaching staff run the school for our benefit. So often we take this work for granted. On behalf of the students I would like to acknowledge their efforts.

The departing Year 12s should also strive to obtain such a balanced appreciation of the past and the present. While we are all anxious about the future we should and will remember our time at College. Not only has it provided us with a firm foundation for the coming years, but we have made friendships and memories we will never forget. We should also remember that our connection with the school is not over. Organisations such as the Old Collegians continue our contact with the school and in doing so, build the sense of community for which our school is renowned.

Though it is saddening to be leaving the school and some of the wonderful and supportive friends I have made, I am very excited about the future. I cannot wait to return in my old age and revisit the buildings that preserve vast numbers of fascinating stories for so many. This school has provided me with a start to life I shall always cherish. I would like to thank the entire College community for its endless support and guidance. TOM FORBES - School Captain

For the future I wish The Geelong College, its students, staff and administration the best of luck and I look forward to seeing what the College has prepared me for in 'the real world' as well as to my new kind of involvement with the school as an Old Collegian. ELIZABETH RYAN - School Captain

Emotions - Happiness Happiness is Strolling along without a worry in the world. Happiness is sunshine yellow, A perfectly formed sphere, And tastes like strawberries and cream. It sounds like children singing in the playground It's like a never ending merry go round. By Daniel Murray

Jealousy Jealousy is giving that unmistakable, spiteful glare that starts fights and rivalry Jealousy is a velvety green, With a shape that has many sharp and piercing points, Its taste is sour, like that of non-ripe grapes, And its sound is similar to the howling wind. It's like Snow White's wicked stepmother the queen, who can't accept the truth. By Claire Gore

Goodbye and good luck! If I was a bird I'd be a White-Bellied Sea-Eagle because they are big, beautiful, smart and good at fishing. At school we have lots of Gang Gang Cockatoos flying over in flocks. One day we went for a walk. We saw two Gang Gang Cockatoos, they were throwing pine cones at us. If I was a bird I'd be a Cockatoo because it talks and it has nice hair. Did you know that even though Gang Gang Cockatoos are native and pine trees aren't, Gang Gangs have learnt how to eat pine cone seeds?

Head of House: Mrs D Black House Tutors: Mr M Gallus, Mrs J Mitchell, Mr A Payne, Mr M Terry, Mr P Taylor, Mr M Whittle House Co Captains: Janet Lang, Nicholas Casboult House Prefects: Rosie Bell, David Ellis, James David, Shane Groom, Penelope Ladd, Rebecca Morphett Calvert again performed excellently as a House and on an individual basis this year. We were a force to be reckoned with in all the sporting competitions and the competitions within the Arts. We also had many people who displayed excellence in other areas of the House and the school. Calvert has some excellent wins in the larger sporting events. We were victorious in Athletics by forty points for the second year in a row with thirty-nine 1st placings. Jamie Bell, James HopeJohnstone, Peter David, Richard Jeremiah, Belinda Holt, Phillipa Cances, Rebecca Herd and Rosie Bell, all performed well in the Age Championships with a strong effort from all members of the House. Calvert also won the Cross-Country in another consistent House effort. Richard Jeremiah, Jamie Bell, Edward Jeremiah, Veronica Milsom, Rosie Bell and Bee Morphett all performed well, with Calvert winning four of the eight sections. This event was also won for the second year in a row. Swimming was the only whole House event that Calvert didn't win, but with a consistent effort we were placed fifth. David Ellis, James Sutherland, Belinda Holt and Veronica Milsom were strong in their age groups and most events for the day were filled, which was very pleasing. We also won Senior Tennis and Junior Netball. The Senior Tennis team consisted of Fergus Weber and Bee Morphett in the Mixed who came second; Edward Jeremiah and Anthony Goode won the boys' competition, and Jane Lawler and Anna Betts played consistently in the girls' section. The Junior Netball team won despite the strong competition of other Houses. Veronica Milsom, Pip Waayers, Emma Crowl and Belinda Holt were the best players with Rosie Bell coaching ably. The Senior Netball team won one game and lost two to finish equal sixth with Rosie Bell, Bee Morphett and Lucy Paton amongst the best. In the first House event for the new group of prefects, House rowing was held at the end of last year with Calvert placed third. The girls' IV, consisting of Rosie Bell, Penny Ladd, Lucy Paton and Janet Lang, were first in their section and the boys' IV of Shane Groom, James David, James Milsom and David Ellis placed fifth. The VIII placed in the top four and the support from the bank was also strong. Jamie Bell

House golf took place the day before school commenced for Term 4 at Queens Park and Calvert came third with Reid Merriman, Tom Kaye and Richie Herd making up the team. The cricket team reached the final easily with pace bowling from newcomer Charlie Fairbairn and Sam Willett and strong batting led by Reid Merriman and Greg Allen. New rules made the competition difficult and we were beaten in the final by Wettenhall to finish second. We had a strong, enthusiastic team in the field made up of a cross section of Year levels. The girls' Basketball team performed well and were second despite not making the final. Rosie Bell scored consistently during the three matches and Sarah Weber, Veronica Milsom and Jayne Lamb were strong. The eventual winners, McArthur, only beat the team. Fergus Weber, Anthony Ross and James Milsom led the boys' Basketball team that came third, with Fergus Weber top scorer and Cambell Carmichael playing consistently. Shane Groom and Warwick Lamb took us to third place in the Hockey, in a very strong competition. Jayne Lambe was strong and represented the girls of the House well with Jess Scoullar. Charles Hill took on the difficult role of goalie with enthusiasm and the whole team performed well. We also performed consistently in Softball, coming third with Bee Morphett, Rosie Bell, Jayne Lamb and Sarah Wotherspoon amongst the best. In the second year of the Soccer competition we were placed seventh with injured star David Ellis and import Ryuichi Sakaguchi from Japan leading the team. Simon Holt and Brian Cooke also played well. With high expectations the Calvert House Football side entered the competition with a strong win over Coles, but unfortunately lost to McLean, thereby ending our hopes of a finals berth. Reid Merrriman and Cambell Carmichael were strong and our Year 9s leave us with high hopes for the future. Calvert also displayed their excellence in the Arts' competitions. We were victorious in House Music with very strong performances from all. "Doo wah diddy diddy" was the big group song, sung with much enthusiasm. In the Small Group and the Instrumental Sections, Calvert displayed their true musical prowess winning both of these sections to finish the competition in first place. The Small Group performed "Someday", a negro spiritual, with David Zierk giving an excellent tenor solo. The Instrumental was "Woodchoppers' Ball" and an excellent ensemble sound was produced. The Year 10 debating team of Paul Rantall, Phoebus Shum and Charles Hill were placed second in the competition losing the

As House Captains we would like to thank the House Prefects for the assistance and leadership within the House, and the tutors, Mrs Mitchell, Mr Terry, Mr Payne, Mr Whittle, Mr Taylor and Mr Gallus for their support throughout the year. Special thanks must go to Mrs Black in her first year as Head of Calvert. It has proved to be a strong alliance, with Mrs Black helping all members of the House in all aspects of school life. With a strong contingent of younger members of the House, we leave Calvert in good stead for the future. JANET LANG and NICHOLAS CASBOULT House Captains

The Year 12 team of Tim Williams, Sarah

Wotherspoon and Janet Lang came fourth. In social service Calvert raised $140 for the spastic Society from a casual day; $170 for Lifeline after a kebab barbecue, and donated cans to Geelong Food Relief. Tim Macauley, Penny Ladd and Rebecca Morphett worked consistently for these causes and the House all contributed well.

the finals. Thanks guys for your efforts and dedication to the House. When it was time to begin the Senior House Tennis you knew the summer sports season was coming to a close and everyone should be in peak form. Jane and Marie displayed nothing different producing an impeccable 1st place in the girls' doubles in straight sets throughout. Zac Brennan, Rob Crittenden and Alex Boyle all contributed to the boys' doubles who secured a 4th final placing and Simon Robertson and I played the mixed doubles', producing a 3rd place. Overall Coles 2nd by a point and a very successful result. Coles cheer squad

With some early hard battling Louise Duff secured the new Coles stereo and things kicked off to a flying start.

Winning Mixed VIII

Jessica Crossley

Like every other year, House Swimming approached, to some perhaps a little too quickly. Just the thought of it makes many stomachs squirm but many great results were achieved. Jane McMillan came third in her age group with Nick Pearce, Eamon Donnelly and Simon Robertson combined to provide Coles with very strong results in the Open Boys. Oscar Stanley won the Under 16 Championship. Marie Sinclair's and Elisabeth Gavelin's contributions were exceptional and Jess Crossley and Lyndel Chidzey deserve mention with their efforts. Of the Year 9s Josh Comer, David Crittenden, Roxy Green, Tom Pasco and Sally Robertson all swam well. Perhaps by coming 7th this year and 8th in 1998 if the trend continues by the year 2005 we will have won the House Swimming! Something I'm sure we'd all like to see. House Cricket took off in mighty fashion. We seemed to be out there to have some fun. Great role models in the Year 12 cricketers, Tom Barr, Richard Drummond, Justin Fitzclarence, Charles Galbally and Al Munro ensured everyone enjoyed themselves. The younger cricketers, Tyson Curypko, Andrew Gunner, Josh Comer, Michael Fox and Tom Pasco also ensured Coles cricket will be in good hands in the future. When the pale blue t-shirts were donned for House Softball we knew there was tough competition out there. Our fielding and batting left a little bit to be desired but well done especially to Lou

Jeremy Holder, Armand Setiawan, Luke Kuzmick, Levi Turner

Brown, Lou Duff, Kirsten Rose, Angie Balaratnam, Penny Carah, Lyndel Chidzey, Sarah Chapman and Jane McMillan who saved us from being totally devoured. Good luck to the girls next year. They will no longer have to contend with the frightful sight of McArthur and their key player Emily Haylock. The Year 12 Debating team consisted of the unlikely combination of Charles Galbally, Al Munro and Tom Barr. However the boys proved our fears to be misplaced and came up with some sound arguments to each of their topics. They just missed out on a place in

Term 2 began and traditionally cross-country was next, straight after the Easter egg season. However Coles battled it out and obtained some very promising results from star athletes within the House, namely Jane McMillan, Sarah Chapman, Andrew Nelson, Marie Sinclair and Jess Crossley who all came in the top 10 in their Year levels. House Music was no doubt memorable for all. Coles got up there and under all sorts of pressure produced the goods (well we didn't come traditionally last) and it all came together on the day. There was a sense of enthusiasm. In 'Big group' we managed to not totally go down under as we tested our vocal chords in 'Land Down Under'. As the adjudicator quoted," I am not sure if your leader was a conductor or a cheerleader"! The Small Group sang 'All for You' superbly, although drowned by Eamon's well known drumming. Instrumental: need I say more. We were inspired. For the first time ever (however much previously desired or required) Morrison Hall and its contents were silent. Eamon Donnelly and James Sharp did us proud. Year 10 Debating was very successful this year with Oscar Stanley, Angie Balaratnam, Jess Crossley and Hayley Sims just missing out on the finals. Well done. Junior House Netball was a success in that the girls had fun. Thanks to Georgie Emselle, Penny Carah, Jess Crossley, Lyndel Chidzey, Sally Robertson and Maddy Cooke. House Football saw the normal footballers, assisted by others such as Luke Kuzmich and Armand Setiawan, get out onto the field and try their hardest against tough opposition. House Chapel was introduced in Term Three. Its inclusion was an astonishment to some but should continue to become a great tradition of the College. We gained some valuable students in Jeremy Holder from America and Aswin Sumampauw from Indonesia. Year 11 Debating was a chance for a Coles success story. Unfortunately Andrew Nelson, Marie Sinclair and Jane McMillan went down in the grand final but put in very commendable arguments. Congratulations. During House Hockey some great games were played. We did very well for a team consisting of beginners except Drew Hendrey who was inevitably required to apply his expertise. The star back liners Holly Pearce, Gemma White and Cathy Bennetts assisted him. House Soccer saw us on top 1-nil, however our four team members ran out of oomph after taking on all 9 of the opposition. Well played by Nathaniel Reader, Armand Setiawan, Dave Crittenden and Aswin Sumampauw. Senior House Netball took off for the first time down at Kardinia Park and saw the old girls, Lou Brown, Lou Duff, Georgie Allen, Sarah Chapman, Jane McMillan, Marie Sinclair and Holly White, winning 2 out of their 3 games. Following netball, the girls changed uniform and hopped onto the basketball court sometimes forgetting to change rules as well. We tried is all that needs to be said. Well done to Angie Balaratnam, Penny Carah and Lyndel Chidzey. House Athletics was a pearler. The light blue glint in us all shone through and Coles undoubtedly had the best house spirit. Best effort was from Josh Comer who came 2nd in his age group. Other outstanding athletes included all the Year 12s who struggled

to fill the open events. Caz Michalak filling in everything she possibly could, Levi Turner coming 4th in Under 16 boys, Alex 4th in Under 17's and Sarah Chapman, Jane McMillan and Marie Sinclair coming 3rd, 6th and 7th respectively in the Under 17 girls. Efforts by Tim Armstrong, Luke Kuzmich and Julian Calaby saw us fill almost every event. On the Monday before school went back for the final term of the year, the keen golfers were down at Queens Park. Andrew Nelson, Andrew Gunner and Simon Robertson played some lovely shots securing a 2nd place for Coles. Congratulations guys. We would like to say farewell to Scott Farquharson who is leaving Coles and the College at the end of the year. Others who we farewelled during the year were Elisabeth Gavelin, Jack Towers, Kurt Chen and Jordan Herron. Good luck for the future. Finally, thank you must go to all the tutors and especially Mrs Lean. I know the entire House and especially the Year 12s will agree your support has been greatly appreciated over 1999 in what has been an enjoyable and very rewarding year. We (the Year 12s) hope that you enjoy and get as much out of Coles in 2000 as we have over the past years. Good luck to all Coles members and be sure to keep up the magnificent camaraderie that exists within your house. MELINDA COOKE - House Captain

Melinda has been characteristically modest about the role that she played as House Captain. As usual she was involved in everything and always encouraged the juniors making them feel very welcome. Thankyou Mel. After the Year 12s left, the House activities continued. We fielded a Junior House Tennis team in hot and trying conditions. Thank you to Jess Crossley and Penny Carah for organising this and to Jeremy Holder, Julian Calaby, Elliot Brennan, Aswin Sumampauw, Sally Robertson, Maddy Cooke and Penny for playing. The Year 9 debating team of Michael Agosta, Katharine Allen, and Georgie Emselle just missed out on a place in the finals. Georgie was best speaker in all of her debates. Our Social Service fundraiser for the Salvation Army's Christmas Appeal was enjoyed by the whole school as hamburgers with the lot were sold whilst the Year 9 Rock Band played. Thanks go to Scott Jordan for organising the band and to the incoming House Prefects for organising the food. Success for the year was finally tasted as the House Rowers won their competition on aggregate points. Well done to Andrew Nelson, Scott Jordan, David Crittenden, Oscar Stanley, Lachlan Pearce, Geogina Allen, Jessica Crossley, Sarah Chapman and Jane McMillan. MRS CLEAN-Head of House

1999, the last year of the millennium saw a very successful year for Keith House. The new season for House sports began in Term 4 1998 with the inaugural House Rowing. With incredible talent from our strong selection of 1st rowers including Lucy Mills, James Boston, Andrew Napier, and Sophie Halsall, we came out overall winners to take the cup again. Term 1 was upon us before we knew it and what better way to start it than with everyone's favourite, House swimming. Keith's creditable 4th was well deserved and our best result for some time. Fresh talent from our new Year 9s, including Jack Perry and Georgie Clarke, all put in big efforts, and Kate O'Donnell excelled in the Open diving. After some difficulty forming a team, the tennis players took to the courts on extremely hot days and performed

well to finish 5th overall, with Jordy Clark and Breanne Jackson exposing their skills. Lia Bailey was excellent in leading the softballers onto the field, and with fine contributions from Jo Cox, Breanne Jackson and Caz Little, Keith finished 6th. The determined cricket players were eager to close the term with confident results. There were high expectations after last year's win, but we were unable to perform as well this year. Credit is due to the team as Keith set the standard for the other Houses. The Term 1 holidays saw many injuries mysteriously pop up before the much-loved Cross-country stroll. Keith came 4th in what was an enjoyable afternoon for all. Lucy Mills, Tim and Georgie Clarke all won their respective age groups convincingly. Luke Kenfield, Leanne Ryan and Matt Torney all ran strongly to come in the top 5 of their age groups. Soccer was a big highlight for the year with James Boston leading what was a fantastic team to victory. With 5 out of the 8 players from the APS Ists we were confident of victory. The whole team played well and Andrew Napier must be congratulated on scoring the winning goal. Coming up against Wettenhall, eventual Premiers, the football team was robbed in the first round with an undermanned team. Strong performances in each round from Tim Clarke, Sam Percy and Luke Kenfield saw the team finish 4th. The junior netballers fought well against tough opposition, and despite strong performances from Jane Hayden and Phoebe Cole, we were unable to record a win. The senior netball team had more success, producing convincing wins in our heats to advance to the final. Terrific performances from Jordy Clark, Lucy Mills, Vanessa Hall, and Sophie Halsall saw us go down to the strong Shannon team by just 2 goals in the final. Coming up against tough opposition, the Hockey team led by Lia Bailey and Joel Harris played well to finish 7th, despite losing our 1st goalie Joel to concussion in the first match. Breanne Jackson, Lia Bailey and Lisa DeStefano gave fine contributions. House Music, a favourite event, saw the Big Group performing 'Love Shack' with 110% enthusiasm. We had the best appearance with everyone being finely 'decorated'. Breanne Jackson and Derek Weeks organised the instrumental very well, playing 'Saint Thomas'. Jordy Clark set up the Small Group with inspiring effort, performing 'Dreams'. Unfortunately, despite being favourites, we were unable to come out on top, and finished second to Calvert.

ranging from Year 9 to Year 12, we dominated the track events with competitors including Georgie and Tim Clarke convincingly winning all their events. Sam Percy, James Boston, Andrew Napier, and Luke Kenfield all performed well, and Sophie Halsall took out the open long jump. Injured Lucy Mills ran strongly in the relay despite a badly torn hamstring. All Keith members must be

Tim Clarke

Basketball was one of our more pleasing sports for both boys and girls. The boys went down in the final to McLean after convincingly winning their division to finish second. Sam Percy, Austin Hall and Andrew Torney all played fabulously. The girls missed the final by a whisker and finished 3rd with Breanne Jackson, our highest point's scorer, and Jane Hayden, along with Lucy Mills, Vanessa Hall, and Elizabeth Ryan performing with style. With a lot of determination the Keith athletes took to the main oval being feared by the other Houses. With strong talent

congratulated on their fine House spirit. Once again, we surprisingly went down to Calvert by only a few points. Our creditable 2rd place still saw us receive well-deserved doughnuts. 1999 will always be remembered as the last year of the millennium and one of the most successful for Keith House. Congratulations must be given to all House members for magnificent effort all year. Thanks go to the tutors, Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Wood for taking on Head of House in Mr. Montgomery's absence in Term 3, for all their help and support. Good luck to everyone in the year 2000.

For McArthur, 1999 was a year steeped in unprecedented success, both on the sporting field and off. With the departure of Head of House Mr Gallus; and his more than able replacement Mrs Fitzpatrick taking the reins at the end of 1998, onlookers could have been excused for thinking that this would be a quiet year for McArthur as we adapted to our second big change in two years. However, nothing could have been further from the truth. We pounced on our unwary opponents from the outset of the year, claiming a plethora of titles and well and truly putting 1999 in the McArthur House Record Books as, The Year of the Phantom, our most successful year ever! Our year of sporting triumph was set in motion by a startling win in the first event of the year, House Swimming. Not only did we claim the House title, but Claire Wood, Stefanie Deeath and Niall McPadden all starred claiming championships in their respective age groups. McArthur reinforced our claim as a sporting powerhouse throughout the year by winning the House Hockey, Softball, Mixed Tennis, Girls Basketball and Golf titles, a truly amazing feat for one year! It was the strength of McArthur as a team

and our ability to work together that resulted in all these championships, however, as always there were some outstanding individual efforts along the way. Our Hockey team was lead by 1st trio Rob Moreton, Sam West and Scott Stanbridge. Emily Haylock lead the pyjama clad Softball to a stunning win over Wettenhall in the final. Tim Callan captained our Golf team to the championship with an impressive round of 69. Will Jennings and Emily paired up to take out the tennis, and Amy Nail and resident sports star Emily Haylock were amongst our best for girls' Basketball, emphatically asserting their dominance with an overall percentage of 546%! When we were not busy claiming various championships throughout the year, we were breaking our own House Records on the sporting field. Lead by a swashbuckling Sam West and Daniel Gray, the McArthur House Cricket team notched up its first win in recent memory (of a match that is!). Also, our superior sense of House spirit once again surfaced when we took out the coveted prize of Best House Spirit Chant at Aths Day for the second year running. As well, we cheered home 3 individual Age Champions, Sarah Johnstone, Claire Wood and Nick Bridges. This is proof enough that we are in fact the loudest, most supportive House in the school. Off the sporting field, McArthur had a strong year in debating, culminating in our Year 12 team of Tom Forbes, Dana Wolfenden, Dianne Bath and Amy Nail taking the championship. Our Social Service representatives outdid themselves this year with Suzie Cartledge, Kate Seward, Amy Nail and Dana Wolfenden always willing to do extra work for the cause. Dana must also be commended for her efforts in single-handedly running a House Footy Tipping Competition and Daniel Gray for his efforts as the official House Debt Collector! Last but not least, a special thanks must go to Mrs Fitz for all

House Swimming Winners

of her efforts throughout the year. Without her, nothing would ever have happened and we certainly would not have enjoyed the amount of success we did. To Mrs Gardner and Ms Keogh who are leaving us after years in our House, you will be missed by all and we hope that you enjoy many happy years in Seymour and Ballarat respectively. Lastly, we would like to thank all the staff and students of McArthur who supported us this year. It certainly was a pleasure to lead the House through this triumphant year.

But despite our 8th placing, we set the standard in terms of House spirit and participation. Who could forget our boys' IV of Matt, James, Michael, Charles and Brett who didn't quite make it to the starting line, but in true McLean style had a go anyway and joined their race halfway through. The girls' IV managed some success, Brydie and Claudia rowed well showing some hope for McLean in the coming years.

Jane Butler

In tennis, McLean faired quite well; partners Sarah and James, Matt and Charles and Simone and Hannah all played excellently and they gained a commendable 2nd placing overall. Softball also was a success with McLean scoring a minor victory over the Shannon side stacked with 1st players. We nearly got into the final, but unfortunately were narrowly defeated by Wettenhall. Olivia did extremely well as the star player, coach and organiser of the McLean side. In winter sports, the McLean junior netball team won all 3 games and made it into the grand final. They fought hard and went down by only one goal to Calvert. It was a fantastic effort by all the girls and they must be congratulated on their success as everyone played extremely well. The senior team did not do quite as well and despite our two APS girls, Leigh and Jo, holding the team together brilliantly, we lost all 3 games. But, as Ms Mahoney said, we easily won the title of best looking team with the McLean red lipstick and ribbons out in full force. Special mention must go to first-time netballer Sarah, who shot 2 goals. Hockey was a dramatic improvement on last year with 20 goal margins brought down to one or two goals. McLean did well against all teams except one in our pool. Everyone played well and Mark, Jimmy and Guaran were outstanding. In the shadow of the boys' success, the McLean girls'

basketball team had a tough job set out for them. Unfortunately we lost all 3 games, but nonetheless we easily matched the boys in terms of spirit enjoying very game. We had only one member who actually played the sport and the rest were netballers. The girls left Crystal to plan her zone defence strategy and contented themselves by playing netball with the added bonus of being able to heckle the opposition and attempt ridiculous 3 pointers. Great efforts were put in by Leigh, Ali and Gabby and special mention to Sarah who landed every single free throw. We should be proud that we set a new House basketball record; we achieved the highest number of team fouls ever! Thanks must go to Leigh and well done girls. Debating is one area where McLean maintains dominance over the other Houses. This year Jo, Hannah and Simone racked up a stunning victory in the Year 11 debating final which gave much credit to our name. They debated very well and congratulations must go to those girls. House music? Well, I'll admit we started off very shakily with our crackpot 'Lord of the Dance' hymn idea and rehearsals were not the epitome of organization. But Katie saved the day and got us organised with 'Born to be Alive' for big group, 'Lemon Tree' for small group and a quality instrumental number. On the day, it was great to see the spirit of participation again when our small group was almost the same size as our big group. Our 8th placing was hardly reflective of everyone's efforts, and most of all Katie's. I do not think we would have even come where we did without her. Finally I'd like to thank Ms Mahoney and the tutors for being

Nick Braun

so dedicated and supportive of everyone in McLean. A special thank you must go to Mr Clark who is retiring this year after 15 years in McLean House; he has been a fantastic tutor and will be sorely missed by many students. Also thank you to fellow prefects Sarah, Leigh, Matt and Michael. Good luck to all McLeanians in the future and enjoy the rest of your time as a member of McLean House.

Participation and enthusiasm shown by Morrison this year was once again the key to success in 1999. Whether it was on the sports field or in the pool, the members of Morrison were always willing to have a go and showed great House spirit. House competition began with swimming early in Term I. Morrison performed well with Steve Pettigrove and Kathleen O'Brien dominating their respective age groups. Steve Green and Liz Ryan also swam well, earning Morrison a respectable 3rd placing. After a pleasing performance in the pool, all expectations moved to the ovals where the cricketers displayed great potential, however lack of depth deprived the team of a grand final berth. Anthony DePasquale, Sam Parsons, Martin White, Daniel Curtis, Sam Watson, and Will Hurst all played excellently, demonstrating to the other Houses how proud we are to wear the colour brown. Cross-Country was the next sporting event on the calendar and once again Morrison performed gallantly. Considering the popularity of such a fulfilling event and the ever-enthusiastic approach Morrison displayed, we were graced with many agreeable results. Steve Green, Clara Davies, Tina Reilly and Liz Ryan all ran well in their respective age groups. Liz Ryan, Chalini Gunawardana and Martine Cornish lead the Softball team to a fairly successful series of games. The result of one win and two narrow losses unfortunately saw us out of the Grand

House Rowing - Mixed VIII

Final. Off the field, Morrison continued their strong tradition of 'taking charge' in the debating arena. Still a force to be reckoned with, the Year lis had the most success with Laura Coad and Sarah Roache amongst the best speakers. Strong performances by Tina Reilly, Steve Green, Chalini Gunawardana, Marcus Lee and Derek Haybittel gave Morrison a great start to House tennis. However, some tough competition from other Houses saw us miss out on the final. Morrison has always been a dominating force in House football, though this year a narrow loss to McLean cost us a position in the final. Anthony DePasquale, Martin White, Sam Parsons, Steve Green, Steve Pettigrove, Nick Gilchrist and Simon Wetherell all displayed great talent and demonstrated promising potential for future results. The junior girls started off the House netball competition, braving the freezing conditions at Kardinia Park. Two of the three games were won convincingly, but a loss saw us out of the final. Kathleen O'Brien, Tina Reilly and Georgie Dawson were among the best. The seniors were also unfortunate to miss out on the finals, though the team comprised of nearly all hockey players. Sarah Roache, Jenny Abbott and Chalini Gunawardana all played well. The highlight for Morrison this year was our fantastic and memorable performance in House Music, approaching this prestigious event with much enthusiasm and pride. Our reputation for coming consistently last definitely fueled our desires to finally beat someone. After a spirited rendition of Abba's "Mamma Mia", the "Shoop Shoop" song by Cher and "Layla" on the guitars, Morrison amazed itself and the whole school by finishing 6th. We were rewarded with chocolate donuts for finally not coming last. This result is definitely something the whole school can cherish and highlights Morrison's 'never give up' attitude. With a complete field of 1st players, we began House hockey fairly confidently. After three successful matches, we found ourselves lining up with McArthur in the Final. It was a very close game, but time eventually ran out for us and we found ourselves in second place. Richard Bremner was definitely the team leader and scored many memorable goals with strong support coming from Angus McLean, Toby Campbell and Jacinta Holien. Winning two from three matches and finishing second in their pool, the boys' basketball team displayed much talent and ability. Nick Low, James Cox, Richard Green and David Cleminson all performed well. The girls' team played some excellent games, winning their three matches to qualify for the finals. We once again faced McArthur in what proved to be a nail-biting match. Liz Ryan, Kim Oxley, Tina Reilly, Phil Hayden and Georgie Dawson all shone, but after the lead changed many times, we finished runners up losing by only three points.

The depth of ability shown by the junior girls shows Morrison a force to be reckoned with in the future. The end of Term 3 saw perfect spring weather and House athletics. The willingness of many to fill events and the determination by all that competed led us to the creditable position of fourth. Worthy of mentioning is the talented Year 9 group Sally Kemp, Tina Reilly, Clara Davies, Lucy Simms and Phil Hayden, who all were very competitive across the many age groups. Liz Ryan, Steve Green, and Richard Bremner demonstrated that the Year 12 Morrison athletes are a definite force to be reckoned with. Overall, Morrison displayed great enthusiasm as we progressed to the finals of the House spirit competition against old rivals McArthur. Even though we made the most noise, the judges decided against our song and we came in second place. The success and smooth running of Morrison this year would not have been possible without the guidance and dedication of Mr Conway, and the tutors; Ms Palmer, Ms Foley, Ms Matthews, Ms Jones, Mr Thomas and Mr Zoch. Thanks must also go to the Prefects for their help and support during the year, and to all the members of Morrison who made 1999 an enjoyable and eventful year. On behalf of all the Year 12s, we would like to wish Morrison the best of luck for 2000 and the future. JANEY GWYTHER and MICHAEL PLUNKETT - House Captains

As is the custom, before writing this report we decided that a quick flip through the Pegasus reports of past years was in order. The common thread running through all of these reports was the spirit and enthusiasm displayed by Shannon House members in all House activities. We believe that these are the qualities which have been most outstanding in Shannon throughout 1999. Due to the phenomenal success of Shannon last year in every House event, the residents of Shannon stepped back and gave way to allow some domination from other Houses. Abiding in this theory, late last year, Shannon participated well in House Rowing, coming a reasonable second place. The boys' IV, Craig Scott, Sam Lindquist, Nick Keays, Tim Allen and Lachie Smeeton (Cox) demoralised the favourites Keith to win the race comfortably. We were all pleased to have the cheerful and enthusiastic Mrs Fulton back from leave and in honour of her return our swimmers were determined to make a big splash in House Swimming, and that we did, taking out six Houses - finishing runner-up. All the Shannon recruits starred. Allan Robson and Casey Tomkins (third in Under 15 Champion) showed their enthusiasm. Sam Lindquist, Alice Hill and Julia Torpey were worthy recipients of their championships in their divisions. Special mention must go to the 'Dream Team' (Gen Claringbold, Pip Collins, Emma Thomas and Katie Leishman) who continued a four-year consecutive win in the 4x100m relay event. With very strong cricket talent, we were looking at a possible final placing. With the introduction of new rules House cricket became extremely even between all the

Alastair Dadds

Angela Hamilton

Houses, which disadvantaged our talented team. We were narrowly bumped out of the final by the ever surprising Wettenhall. The Year 9s, Chris Wilson, John Paterson, John O'Brien and Mark McDonald were strong throughout the competition and showed many of us more experienced cricketers how to play a patient game. Shannon House members were "So Happy Together" in House music, while our small group got around with the Beach Boys and our instrumentalists got cracking with the "Nutcracker Suite". Despite our illustrious talent the judges saw pity in the eyes of the other sorrowful Houses. Shannon was deprived of yet another trophy placing a reasonable fourth. With Pip Collins leading the softballers onto the field of Mackie Oval, the Shannon girls were keen to put the other Houses out of their misery. Unfortunately, it was not to be. All team members showed enthusiasm with Pip Collins, Emma Thomas, Renae Butterworth and Anita Trengrove starring on the field and in the batting line up. Success was also found in Cross-Country with Tom Fallaw, Sam Lindquist, Renae Butterworth and Alice Hill running their little legs off to place in the top 10. 98.5% of Shannon House Members participated in the event to come an excellent 2nd which was deemed donut worthy. It was not the same story in House Tennis. With an understrength team Shannon came a respectable 6th. Sally Mountjoy was dangerous, especially on her first serve. The female version of 'The Woodies", Amy Young and Anna Fitzpatrick, made us proud. Shannon finished a reasonable 6th place. With very tough Hockey competition Shannon fought hard against Calvert, Morrison and Coles. Alastair Dadds, Ang Hamilton, Tom Fraser and Nick Keays were just a few who were outstanding. Sally Mountjoy, Katie Leishman and Jaydon Wong were equal to any challenge the opposition threw at them. Our football team, led by Sam Lindquist, finished the competition with one win and a loss. Dean Elliott, John O'Brien and Tom Fallaw did us proud. Congratulations must go to the senior girls taking away back to back wins for the last 2 Senior netball Grand Finals. With strong defence from Gen Claringbold, Megan Ellis and versatile Pip Collins, they gave the Shannon attackers lead by Renae Butterworth, Amy Young, Louisa Smeeton and Sally Mountjoy a great opportunity to narrowly beat McArthur in the deciding qualifying match and taking the championship from Keith in the Grand Final. Our soccer players, led ably by Nick Parks made it to the final against the talented Keith. A full strength Shannon side was not enough to stop the impressive Keith attack. Shannon did not give in to critics desperately keeping Keith to only 1 goal. Vangeli in his

first year provided Shannon House with sensational performances throughout the competition. With a somewhat of a limited basketball player list Shannon were placed in the hardest draw in both boys' and girls' competitions. The boys finished a disappointing last, however Tom Fraser and Chris Wilson put together some fine performances. The girls had a very similar draw but with a commendable result finished equal fifth. Renae Butterworth, Charlotte O'Loughlin and Sophie Whittakers were outstanding throughout the competition. After many years of continual success in House Athletics, Shannon needed a change. We decided to use our talent for good and sell fairy floss to our competitors in hope to slow them down and donate the proceeds to assist the wounded in East Timor. We raised a whopping total of $169.00 and many thanks must go to all the helping hands. Our success in fundraising did not inspire us on the field however; Renae Butterworth (Under 17 Champion), Tom Fallaw, Dean Elliott and John O'Brien were outstanding in their age groups. Our golfers performed under rough and tough conditions to come a respectable 5th. Our true performance was not reflected on the score card as a suspicious character kept taking our balls so we often were forced to drop. We were forced to try new styles due to the blustery conditions, the 'Happy Gilmore' style was the most successful. Richard Butler predicts that we will do much

better next year. On the intellectual side of things the Year 10s won the House debate. Alice Hill, Cam Nation and Anna Green successfully convinced hundreds to believe school sport should not be compulsory clinching the name Champions with six hands. The coach, Andrew Pye, encouraged such a win by his sheer enthusiasm and wit. Shannon were not satisfied with just one fundraising idea so we raised another $500 for local Geelong charities selling our annual Valentine's Day Carnations. Our Year 12s deserve many thanks for their outstanding attitude and cooperation in the good times and the bad. Thanks must also go to the sensational House Prefects, House Tutors and an awesome Head of House for their assistance in organising events. We now leave Shannon House in the capable hands of next year's Year 12s and we know that the wonderful Year 9s and 10s will support them in every way. KATE PATERSON and SIMON CRAIG House Captains

Winning Cricket Team

Head of House: Mr D Curnow House Tutors: Mr T Parkes, Mrs J Gainey, Mr D Andrews, Mrs J Coghill, Mrs C Edwards, Mrs P Clark House Captains: Christie Fletcher, Thomas Wettenhall House Prefects: Alice Baulch, Hahn Le, Timothy Black, Andrew Pettig, Troy Doak, Chris Gingell The brilliance of Wettenhall House was evident in 1999. With two victories in the House system, football and cricket, it was evident that Wettenhall was becoming increasingly competitive. The beginning of the year was exciting with many familiar names amongst the new recruits, creating high hopes for the series of sports that were about to begin. The buddy system worked well for the second year and Wettenhall was part of the first evercombined House Chapel. Jacob Luca

First for the year was the swimming sports. Alice Urquhart and Caitlin Strumpel were very happy to compete in the Open and Under 17 girls' events which were difficult to fill. The boys competed consistently with Ben Doak taking out the Under 15 boys' Champion award. His older brother Troy also performed exceptionally well in the Open division. The cricket season was extremely successful for Wettenhall. The sheer brilliance of opening batsman, Sandy Waters, led us to victory, bringing the cup into Wettenhall. Other contributors were Chris Reichl with the ball and Jacob Spolding with his fielding. Marcus King, Alice Baulch, James Urquhart and Sarah Hopkins lead the House into another successful tennis campaign. All players played well with a special mention of the boys' doubles

pair who made it to the final, but were unable to play due to the cricket Grand Final. Debating is one of Wettenhall's strengths. With the talents of Georgie Lyon, Hahn Le and Mary Barson, the House was always going to be competitive. All debaters gave it their best, in most cases finishing in the middle order. The Winter sports season started and was the success that we hoped for. The football team had a red hot go and defeated all opposition to take out the Grand Final on what was a cold and windy day. Although the team had very few 1st players, overall we were a very consistent side and played in the true Wettenhall spirit. Scott Fletcher, Jacob Luca, Pat Miller and Anthony Favaloro showed great stamina and determination to show the younger members what needs to be achieved in the years to come. Cross-Country and Athletics are not really Wettenhall specialities, so we had very little chance of doing well in these events. In House Music, we also struggled due to difficulty finding the appropriate song. Hahn Le and Ma^ Barson showed great leadership skills in organising both the instrumental and small group. Angus Birrell should also receive a mention for his fine conducting of the big group. Wettenhall entered the Soccer competition with very high expectations for taking the cup. Although star striker Cam Hart was out of action, the boys put in a great effort, finishing a creditable fourth. Key players were Andrew Pettig and the Black brothers, Nicholas and Tim. Netball came along with the junior netballers having a fantastic campaign giving the eventual winners a run for their money. Alice Wettenhall showed her talent being the best on court for all three games. Claire Simmonds and Phoebe King also played exceptionally well to take out a third spot in our division. The seniors struggled to field a side due to illness so the help of junior Wettenhall girls paid off with the team being very competitive against some very tough opposition. They also took out third spot in their division. When I look back on the year I can summarise what each Year level has contributed to 1999. The Year 9s who entered this year were veiy enthusiastic and confident. Alanna Lyon performed exceptionally well on Athletics day winning two events and Louise Gore and Megan Gingell were also happy to help out to compete in age groups above their own. Alex Burton, Nick Black, and David Gilbert-Kent all showed the Wettenhall spirit of having a "fair dinkum" go. The Year 10s proved themselves vital with Alice Wettenhall showing her athletic ability competing in nearly every event

possible. Casey Biddle was also outstanding, helping out when able.

Scott Fletcher, Sam Chisholm and Matthew Shiels

John Haywood

contributed and should have a key role in the years to come. Although there are very few Year 11 girls, the likes of Sarah Hopkins, Christina Laught and Ajeng Pitolaka battled hard and participated in everything they could. The boys show a bright future in 2000. Sandy Waters, Pat Miller, Jacob Spolding and Dane Balodis can hopefully continue the brilliance that showed all year and to hopefully bring a few victories to Wettenhall. The Year 12s have been an easy bunch to work with. The support and help they have given Tom and myself have made the year so much easier. The Prefects Alice Baulch, Hahn Le, Tim Black, Andrew Pettig, Troy Doak and Chris Gingell have acted responsibly and supported the House, tutors and Housemaster, Mr Curnow. On behalf of Wettenhall House, I would dearly like to thank the Year 12s, tutors, Mr Parkes, Mrs Gainey, Mr Andrews, Mrs Coghill, Mrs Edwards and Mrs Clark. But most of all, thank you to Mr Curnow who, as always, was a fantastic Head of House. He is generous, loving and caring towards any person in the school. Mr Curnow has supported us throughout the whole year and we wish

Head of House: Mr J Claringbold Matron: Mrs A Vile Tutors: Ms D Hynes, Mr T Reidy, Mr G Smith, Mr J Wood House Captain: Craig Scott House Prefects: Richard Drummond, Tom Wettenhall The Mackie year began with four new Year 9s, twelve Year 10s, a record nineteen Year lis and just nine Year 12s. Ms Deb Hynes, the well known drama director arrived to replace Mr. Conway. Ms Hynes became the first female tutor in Mackie (apart from Matron). The year was slow to start with everyone taking time to settle back into the routine after the seven weeks break. The summer sports program sped up this process and the men of Mackie showed just how good they are at sport. Mackie boasted a number of 1st team players including Charles Fairbairn (Yr 10), James Laidlaw (Yr 11), Sandy Waters (Yr 11), Derek Haybittel (Yr 11) Charles Dennis (Yr 12), Tom Wettenhall (Yr 12), James Kilpatrick (Yr 12) and Harya Narottoma (Yr 12) . Winter sport 1st team representatives included James Cox (11), Charles Fairbairn (10), Scott Fletcher (10), James Kilpatrick (12), James McGregor (11), Shaun McKenzie (10), Tim Nail (10), Scott Stanbridge (11), Sandy Waters (11) and Sam West (11). Shaun McKenzie also represented the school in athletics. Towards the end of Term 1, the Year 12s at Mackie were reduced to just 8 with the shock departure of Charles Dennis. Charles was quickly replaced with a number of new students in all Year levels including Aswin Sumampauw (Yr 9) from Indonesia, Stuart Greig (Yr 10) and Tim Linke (Yr 10) from Hamilton and John Rose (Yr 11) from Melbourne. There were a number of good academic results recorded throughout the year with Richard Drummond and James Kilpatrick having the best results for their first round CATs. Richard achieved

straight A+ for his CAT 1 results and James was not far behind. Tom Jackson, James Urquhart, John Sawade, Aaron Perry and James Laidlaw also recorded good results in their accelerated Year 12 subjects. The motor mechanics course was offered again to Mackie students and many boys took up the opportunity to learn a new skill. These included Jack Eastman, Hamish Catt, James Alston, Stuart Hall, Greg Allen, Charles Gordon and Richard Gough. The tute groups were again active with many of last year's destinations being re-visited. The popular choices were as usual, the go-carts, movies, Zone 3 followed by Pizza Hut or McDonalds. Some ventured away from Geelong with Mr Smith taking a busload up to the go-carts in Melbourne. The Mackie/Mossgiel trivia night was run smoothly by Mr Wood, the winning table consisting of Sam Parsons, Nick Braun and James Urquhart. Thunder hockey was on the cards during Term 2 and 3 with many rough games contested. With many different interpretations of rules it was not clear who won. Consistent players throughout the season included Tom Wettenhall, Tom Barr, Cambell Carmichael, Shaun Mckenzie, Scott Stanbridge and Sam West. One of the highlights of the year was the singing of the 'Cottage Pie' song at Assembly. Morrison Hall rocked to the harmonious sound of the Mackie Choir. Rurals/Urbans day came in August towards the end of the winter sport season. With not many players to match the ability of the Rurals, the Urbans were thumped by 10 goals. Best players were all Year 12s for the Rurals. Richard Drummond, Sandy Waters and Dale Bruns (specially recruited for the game) were best for the Urbans. The Victorian Shooting Championships were held at Noorat, in the Western District, with James Christensen, James Urquhart, Hamish Catt, Jack Eastman and Stuart Hall all shooting well. This year Mackie and Mossgiel travelled on a Thursday night to Melbourne to see the stage show "Rent". This was once again funded by the Steer Fund. The show was enjoyed by all. This year "Mackie Man" went to newcomer and Year 11 boy Alexander Waters. It was the first time in the trophy's three year history that the contest has not been won by a Year 12.

On behalf of all the boys, I would like to thank Matron Vile, Ms Deb Hynes, Mr Greg Smith, Mr John Wood, Mr Terry Reidy and the Head of House, Mr John Claringbold. Without their efforts the House could not have run smoothly. CRAIG SCOTT - House Captain

Head of House: Mrs M O'Loughlin House Matron: Ms A Frcek House Tutors: Ms D Karis, Ms B Owen, Ms E Young, House Captain: Christie Fletcher 1999 has been another eventful year in the lives of the Mossy girls. The transition from home life to boarding life was smooth and uneventful thanks to the terrific organisation of the Prefects and the contribution of Ms Frcek in Mrs O'Loughlin's absence. While most people were still getting used to the early morning routine, some dedicated rowers were down at their second home, the Barwon River. With Georgie Allen in the 1st crew it's no wonder that they took out the Head of the River title for 1999. The tennis girls, Bee Morphett, Katrina Dennis and Alex McLeod weren't rising as early, however they, too, were APS champions for 1999. Bee Morphett was also part of the winning tennis team that took out the State Championships and travelled to Brisbane in early December for the Nationals. The first outing for Mossgiel was the annual trip to Lome with the Mackie lads. Although the weather was cold and raining, the varied music from country to techno made the bus trip memorable. It was a successful and enjoyable day for att. Applying makeup, walking with books on their heads and finding their most feminine outfit were all categories to find the perfect Mossgiel Woman. Mardy McDonald took out this prestigious event in tough competition. Emma Dawson, Prue Delves and Den Den (Sarah Dennis) were all close runners up. With the fog, wind and the after tea runs in the rain from the Dining Hall, we knew that winter was upon us. Alice Baulch, Janet Lang, Amy Nail and Jess Koch were all given leadership roles in their respective sports. Alice Baulch and Amy Nail were selected to try for positions in the APS Netball and Basketball Representative teams respectively, with Amy being chosen. The future of our dominance in APS netball looks assured with Sophie Whittakers and Lisa Gray being part of the Champion Inter A team and Jo Silcock and Sarah Roache being in the 2nds. A notable Best and Fairest was awarded to Melissa Sleep who was part of College Orange in division Bl at Kardinia Park. As Term 2 ended, all Mossgiel girls were treated to a night away from homework to see the theatre production "Rent". During Term 3 while the Mossy Year 12 girls were busily completing the second round of CATs, most girls were overcome by sickness. Many girls had the pleasure of returning home for a few days of recuperation and relaxation. We also lost one of Mossgiel's fine tutors, Bradi Owens, as she wanted to further her career in the police force. The goal posts were taken from Main Oval and replaced by the athletics track lines ready for the coming season. With many girls in the Athletics squad, Mossgiel was well represented in the APS Finals day. Notable competitors were Alex McLeod, Alice

Urquhart, Sophie Whittakers and Lisa Gray, all Year 9. As we all know the girls again defeated all opponents to bring the Championship cup back to College for the second year in a row. Term 4 came upon us much quicker than expected and it was time for the Year 12s to say good bye. Although a sad occasion, a fun evening for all was held at the review night as memorable moments in the Year 12s lives were replayed. Jane Hayden and Alice Wettenhall must be congratulated on their fine acting skills. The climax of the year was the boarders' Formal Dinner where Mandy McDonald and Jo Silcock delivered an entertaining speech officially ending the reign of the Year 12s. I would like to thank all the Year 12s for their support and leadership throughout the year, especially Janet for being ViceCaptain, helping throughout her years in Mossgiel, and encouragement of all members of the boarding house. To the tutors, Elly Young, Mr and Mrs Karis, Mr Hibbard, Belinda Lyon, Bradi Owens and Ms Palmer, thank you for putting up with us and giving us your encouragement and support through bad times and good. Special thanks must go to Sister Cartledge and Sister Kemp for caring for our health. To our matron, Ms Frcek although your notes were annoying, we really do appreciate your kindness and friendliness. Finally, I would sincerely like to thank Mrs 0 for another year as Head of Mossgiel. Although we have tested you throughout the year, your patience and belief in our abilities was much appreciated. Although the guards are changing at Mossgiel, I am sure that next year's Year 12 will hold Mossgiel in good stead for the future. CHRISTIE FLETCHER - House Captain

The music department at The Geelong College has had an extremely busy, but very successful year of music making. The music program includes classroom activities, the instrumental and vocal groups, which rehearse outside of school hours, and the school musical production, which this year was "The Pajama Game". The music program throughout the school has approximately five hundred students involved, taking part at all levels from the ELC, Campbell House, Middle School and Senior School. CAMPBELL HOUSE

Jarrod Campbell, Marcus Lee

Children at Campbell House from the ELC up all participate in a child-centered and developmentally appropriate music program. Orff and Kodaly methodologies are used. An introductory string program is offered from prep onwards and many children are involved in the string program on either an individual or group basis. The String Ensemble, trained and conducted by Mrs Kamburowski gave a wonderful performance at the Foundation Concert. Many enthusiastic class and individual performances occurred at the Campbell House evenings. The children also participated in playing and singing Japanese music with Geoffrey D'Ombrain during a day of celebration of the culture of Japan. MIDDLE SCHOOL The challenge to the music educator and the music student in "Middle School" is unique. Most instrumentalists have passed through their euphoric early terms of tuition with the smiling teacher, into uncharted territory where the demands are greater and the expectations higher. The classroom music program must nurture and excite students with an ever-widening range of talents and musical tastes. Contemporary rhythms emanated from Music Room 1, as the Year 8 Elective students hammered and sawed a variety of musical instruments into shape. In Semester 2 they conquered "Music Master" - composition and arranging through a computer link-up with the new keyboards. The Year 7s have explored many exciting elements of music and composition through a variety of mediums; keyboard, percussion, guitar and mixed ensembles, led by the dynamic duo of Mr Barrie Edwards and Mr Mark Irwin. Ms Jan Cook, during Term 4, had parents worried that all Year 7s were turning into skilled drum kit players! Drawing on the principles of Orff and Kodaly, Years 4 to 6 students continue to develop artistically under the guidance of Mrs Leanne McCartney. Music is placed in its cultural context. Our exploration of Aboriginal music was complemented by a visit to "Narana Creations" and Emmanuel and Adeline brought the magic of African dance and rhythm home to us from "Ivory Coast Aypka" The Years 4 and 5 choirs, Primary Ensembles and the Year 6

Music Variety Performance Group enchanted elderly visitors to Robertson Hall as we celebrated "International Year of Older Persons". In Semester 2 the Year 6 MVP cast, backed by a ninepiece Year 6 band, rocked along to such numbers as... "I Love My Locker" and "Detention" in a dazzling performance of "School Daze". Primary students now have a greater profile in the Middle School Music Evenings with the first half of the program dedicated to younger talent. The Preparatory School String Orchestra, conducted by Ms Marilyn Keogh, is testament to the excellent foundation of string tuition in Campbell House. The Preparatory School Concert Band conducted by Mr Roger Sullivan is a regular feature of music evenings and the Foundation Concert. String Orchestra members shared a happy day of music making when they hosted the Brighton Grammar Junior String Orchestra. The Parents' Support Group very kindly provided a sausage sizzle lunch. The String Orchestra also visited the Multicultural Hostel in Term 4. Similarly instrumentalists enjoyed the full sound of the Concert Band, conducted by Mr Roger Sullivan, with new students practising hard to join its ranks. "Wombat Shuffle" and "Tassie Tiger" performed by the Concert Band, added an Australian flavour to the Welcome Assembly for our Japanese visitors in Term 3. It is pleasing to see the rising profile of choral music at Middle School with an enlarged secondary choir and the first House Music Competition to be held in 27 years. Congratulations to Helicon for their spirited rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" winning the Vocal Section, and to Bellerophon for their triumph in the Instrumental Section. Pegasus took out the overall trophy with consistency in both sections. While the Middle School boasts a vibrant and independent musical life of its own, our students have also been inspired by presentations from senior students; Hannah Lockie on Double Bass, the Year 9 Rock Group, Jazz Ensemble and Senior Male Vocal Group which joined forces with the Year 5 boys' Choir. This sharing in the musical fabric of the whole school, and occasions such as the Foundation Concert and Carols by Candlelight are undoubted highlights. SENIOR SCHOOL The music program at Senior School involves approximately 110 music elective students as well as students who learn music outside the program and participate in the many music groups within the school. Numerous outstanding ensembles have evolved from the ensemble program this year including a VCE Brass Quartet and two VCE String Quartet/Trios. These groups have been very busy playing at numerous school functions as well as in the community.

Various woodwind, brass, rock guitar, jazz and vocal ensembles have enjoyed making music together, enriching their musical experiences and improving their skills. Several groups have evolved from the students own initiative this year including a Flute Quartet and two Jazz groups. These students are available for hire to play at functions outside the College community. We have had groups and solos perform regularly at assemblies each week and music evenings have been held each term to give students performance opportunities. Ensembles have performed at the various Year level dinners held in the Dining Hall. Students also participated in Geelong Star Search where the Jazz Band won the Group Instrumental section. Many students competed very successfully in the Geelong Eisteddfod. Giselle Campanaro is worthy of special mention as she gained the overall award for string playing in the Open section. Giselle is also the holder of a music scholarship at the College. Marcus Lee, a student in Year 11, is to be congratulated on attaining his Licentiate in piano. This is a very difficult exam requiring excellent technical facility and musicianship and it is a great achievement for such a young student. Music Scholarships were again held this year. Natalie Gainey, Year 8, and Jonathan Lee, Year 6, must be congratulated on gaining a music scholarship for the year 2000. The Senior Concert Band, trained and conducted by Mr P Hannah, and the Senior String Orchestra, trained and conducted by Ms M Keogh, have worked very hard throughout the year. The performance at the Foundation Concert on September 9 gives testament to the talent of the students and the dedication of the Music staff.

One of the main highlights of the year for our musicians was the music camp at Mt Eliza. Sixty-five students and seven staff attended the camp, which offered great opportunities for them to play music together and rehearse in a relaxed camp atmosphere. The Concert Band worked with the Australian Army Band, and listened to a short recital. The String players had the privilege of working under the Direction of Mr William Hennesy, Head of Strings at the Conservatorium of Music. The Stage and Jazz Bands were given the opportunity to rehearse with Mr Peter De Visser. Performances whilst on camp included a recital in the Mall at Mornington and a concert with Peninsula Grammar where the students combined and enjoyed the interaction with another school. The members of the school choir enjoyed a weekend of singing and fun at Beaufort with Ms Breen, Mr Hannah and Mrs Edwards. This camp at the beginning of Term 2 enabled the choir to tackle repertoire for presentation at the Foundation Concert, as well as enjoying the fellowship of singing together. As part of the College "Artist in Residence program", we were very fortunate to have a visit by Mr Barry Cockcroft and the "Ensemble Atmosphere". The four international musicians worked with Saxophone students all day imparting valuable insights. A number of students performed for the quartet and all music students in attendance gained a better understanding of what is required in performance and in being a musician. An evening of contemporary Saxophone music was presented in Morrison Hall by "Ensemble Atmosphere" to a small but appreciative audience who marvelled at the virtuosity of these wonderful musicians.

Another orchestra drawn this year from the ranks of the String Orchestra and Concert Band was the pit orchestra for "The Pajama Game", under the skilled direction of Mr Mark Irwin. The musicians mastered the difficult music, complex rhythms, and keys with great skill and thoroughly enjoyed the theatre experience.

The 1999 College Stage Band under the direction of Mr Barrie Edwards made its first appearance at the College Carnival in March. The band provided great scope for the talents of its members and certainly added to the Carnival atmosphere of the night providing a great backdrop to the fireworks display.

A highlight of the year was the production of a CD, which featured the Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra, Stage Band, and Choir. The CD was recorded prior to the Foundation Concert and we trust many people will be keen to purchase this wonderful record of the Music at The Geelong College for 1999.

In April, the Stage Band, String Orchestra, and Vocal Ensemble travelled to Warrnambool to perform to 600 primary school children from the surrounding district. The children received the concert with great enthusiasm. In the evening these groups again presented a shorter program at a Parents' Information Evening. The Stage Band opened the program for the Foundation Concert and also played at assembly twice throughout the year and at the Preparatory School. As a final highlight to the year the Stage Band was invited to play at the Geelong Show, another excellent opportunity to showcase the ability of the band and promote The Geelong College music program in the community.

A very successful House Music competition was held this year with Mr Andrew Wailes adjudicating. A variety of vocal and instrumental music was presented at varying standards but the event was enjoyed by all participants. The winning House was Calvert. The String Orchestra was invited to perform at the Meredith Art Festival in November and at the VCE Art Exhibition and Carol Service. As part of the Victorian Rural and Regional Access to the Arts Program for Year 9 Students funded by the Victorian Government, Year 9 Students travelled to Melbourne to see the State Orchestra of Victoria in concert with the Scared Weird Little Guys. Included in the day was a workshop at the College of the Arts and a visit to IMAX Theatre. Several students from Years 10, 11 and 12 took the opportunity to see three operas this year - La Boheme, Fidelio and the Clemency of Titus. A large group also went to Rent, a modern opera based on La Boheme The students chose to write their concert review of these performances, which encouraged them to watch and listen critically and to evaluate the performance.

Mr Peter Hannah and Mr Mark Irwin took long service leave this year in Term 4. They have made a great contribution to music at the College and deserve this break away from the rigors of school to enjoy time for travel and recharge the batteries. I would especially like to thank the Parents' Support Group for their hard work this year and for all their help in moving equipment, providing suppers, hosting the performance of the VCE music students recital night and for selling candles at the Carols by Candlelight Service. I have enjoyed my year as Acting Head of Music and never cease to marvel at the breadth and scope of the music talent at The Geelong College. MRS C EDWARDS - Acting Head of Music

'THIS' This' is the worst mass murderer in the world And breaks the world in two. 'This' causes a form of hatred Against people we don't even know In worlds we haven't heard of. 'This' makes heroes and villains Out of the same people. 'This' brings people together But draws them further apart. 'This' can be started over an argument And be ended with an agreement and the shake of hands. 'This' sends people off to other lands to fight for mankind When it is mankind they are destroying.

EVERLASTS Wandering through the emptiness of a barren yet thriving land we See.... Precious everlasts, with their papery, sun-like faces And fragile petals, Standing tall and proud in a world of

'This' fills hearts with a false hope of surviving And of returning one day. 'This' is war. Crystal Webster - Year 12

NICHOLAS BLACK-Year 9

Sunburst grass and the Charred remains of Once proud trees. Resilient and unbroken, Withstanding the elements To remain glowing beacons in the Afternoon mist, So strong and so dignified, Even in the rain. LOUISE GORE - Year 9

THE PANTHER The panther stalks through the lush undergrowth, muscles sliding smoothly underneath its sleek, glossy coat damp with the falling drizzle. Pale green eyes reflect the wan light of the moon like headlights in the enveloping darkness. Long curved claws grip the rain-soaked ground soundlessly as the panther scans the surrounding bush with high-pricked ears like radar sensors. Its snake-like tail swishes impatiently as its wet nose and whiskers test the air. Slowly it lowers itself to the sodden floor, all but disappearing in its near perfect camouflage. Black fur merges with the shadows, nothing but the half-opened eyes betraying its presence. With frightening pace the panther exploded from the scrub, muscles surging in rhythm with its long stride. Clods of earth tear from the ground as the panther powers through the now shoulder high grass. The target of its attack, a small antelope startled from its sleep, zigzags across the grasslands desperately searching for escape. The stench of fear acts as a stimulant to the panther spurring it on to even greater speeds as it bears down on the hopeless creature, legs charging like cylinders in an engine. With one swipe of its powerful claws it tears through the antelope's hindquarters, shearing through muscle and bone to tear the right hind-leg to shreds. The antelope collapses in a struggling heap, vainly climbing to its remaining three legs before pitching head-first into the dirt again. Blood coats the panther's paw and runs in rivulets onto the already wet ground, soaking into the earth as quickly as the life disappears from the already glazing eyes of the antelope. It stalks slowly towards the unfortunate beast and, with a snap that seems to reverberate across the plains, bites through its neck. Bone crunches to splinters in its mouth, and blood coats the muzzle of the panther as it settles down to feast.

Harriet Morgan - Year 10

A U T U M N POEM Dancing little stars of joy Make their own way down to safety In this safety they all discover A haven for leaves of every kind. The haven they all congregate in Is a resting place with wonderful aromas. These smells come in many different forms The grass, the flowers, the air. The birds are calling and are answered by trees These noises make the picture complete. The feeling of happiness is in the air Autumn brings life to all.

PATRICK MILLER-Year 11 TINAREILLY-Year9 Anna Fitzpatrick - Year 11

A R T S W E E K 1999 ART IN REFLECTION For its fourth consecutive year Arts Week wooed the Senior School student body, providing 3 days of artistic creativity. Arts week was officially launched at assembly when Mr Smith discussed the need to release the burden of daily work routines and indulge ourselves in some good old-fashioned fun. And fun was certainly had by all. Morrison Hall was transformed into a huge studio with the old favorites such as the sand sculpture, mural painting and cushions making an appearance. This year we also offered ceramic mask making, installations, airbrushing, digital photography and mirror making in the program. Arts Week occurs in the middle of a very busy term, and is a welcome break for many students to indulge in areas of creative pursuit that they would not normally encounter. In fact, some students attended all three days such was the popularity of the event. Tim Nail's airbrushing, Eamon Donnelly's Whitely portrait and the sounds of Bongo drums reverberating through the hall will be remembered for years to come. It was fantastic to see queues of students at the painting table eager to create a piece of history on the Arthur Boyd mural, the sound of hundreds of mirrors being put together and the sight of groups of students wandering around the hall taking in the activity and fun that was on offer. Arts Week is well and truly entrenched in the school calendar and as the Canberra Art trip motto says "Arts A Buzz". However, none of this would be possible without the support of the whole school. This event is not just organized and run by the Fine Arts staff, there are many academic and ancillary staff who contribute enormously in order to help make this week a special one. To the students, staff and friends of the Geelong College who support Arts Week each year, thank you. We look forward to bringing you Arts Week in 2000. Finally thank you to the dedicated Fine Arts staff (Mr Smith, Ms Sutey, Mr Andrews, Ms Locke, Mr K-T and Ms Reid) who work so hard each year to make Arts Week a success.

Drama Year 9 & 10 The Year 9 and 10 Drama students have had a very busy year. The course in it's diversity enables the students to develop a range of personal and performance skills, culminating in the Year 9 and 10 Drama nights. The Drama night gave each student the opportunity to be involved in the developmental process of shaping and structuring a theatrical piece, to be viewed by an audience. Every student regardless of aptitude or ability played an essential part on the night. Presented on the stage in Morrison Hall with basic set items, costumes and lighting, both performance nights had a very professional feel. The Year 9 students adapted the story of "Romeo and Juliet" into three very distinctive styles: Soap Opera, Serious Drama and Musical Theatre. It was a wonderful mix of mediums, highlighting the important issues in the play, whilst also allowing the students an opportunity to explore these issues combining comedy, drama,

movement, dance and contemporary and traditional performance styles. The Year 10 students told the dramatic tale of "Oliver Twist". The students had fun practising accents and thinking about Dickens' London. They developed the characters regardless of gender and used clever theatrical conventions, enabling three classes to perform the one piece. The maturity and commitment displayed by the students in both year levels, was outstanding. They created strong characters, moved well in the space and supported each other, clearly showing how important the night was to them. Well done. MS CLIFFORD

Daisy Pulls it Off!! The production of Ms Clifford's Year 11 play was no less intriguing than its title. Set in Grangewood School for Young Ladies, the story follows the trials and tribulations of scholarship winner Daisy Meredith. Despite a few mishaps, not to mention the conniving snobbery of wealthier dormies, we see Daisy persevere, adjust and finally triumph in the name of honour and just being a "decent gel". She even manages to hunt for treasure, find her long lost father, save two lives and hit a winning goal in hockey along the way. "I say. Jolly good shot!" The College Dining Hall evoked the traditional atmosphere of an English Boarding School and clever use of space ensured that Daisy's daunting dormitory experience was felt keenly by the audience. Ms Kelly Clifford's talents were also obvious in the casting as all members shone in individual roles. Georgie Corke was an engaging lead who managed a mountain of dialogue and asides to the audience with aplomb. Other notable performances included Louisa Smeeton who played wicked, sneaky Sybil to the audience's delight and Lloyd Davies stole the show with his dual roles and whistling, walk-on cameo. A major strength of the show was the cast members' energy, teamwork and obvious enjoyment of the whole experience. This was a credit to their director's tireless effort and guaranteed regular chuckles and clapping from the audience throughout. "A spiffing good time was had by all. What ho!"

Murder at the Vicarage Was it Crossie, in the lounge-room, with the nail filer? The

Year 11 theatre group, under the careful, watchful guidance of Ms Hynes produced yet another brilliant tale of mystery and deception. The play, Murder at the Vicarage, received critical

acclaim from the masses who watched intently as the murderous plot unravelled. All members of the class had an equal input into the play's set, costume and props. Among the stars was the hilarious Zac Brennan (was that his real hair?), the suave and sophisticated Daniel Cross, the tempting, persuasive Roe Montesalvo (what a lovely room!), the holy Reverend John Sawade, the charming Stephanie Deeath (another glass of wine?), the boisterous, dominating Renae Butterworth, the hard-working Leanne Ryan (lovely accent!), the youthful, comical Angus McLean, the elegant, confident Eliza Hobba, the wise, intelligent Derek Weeks and Inspector Wightman. This brilliant group of actors created a fine, realistic portrayal of life in England

Away YEAR 12 THEATRE STUDIES When the Year 12s entered orientation in late l^gS, therf were many anxious faees amongst the crowd, but there was oife* group of students who were excited as to what lay ahead. Tfie^ Year 12 Theatre Studies class, almost a carbon copy of the 1998 Year 11 Theatre Studies class, were keen to find out the play that they would be studying for the next few months and that would form their CAT 1. After much discussion, our director, Deb Hynes, settled ofr> Michael Gow's Australian play 'Away'. From the moment we read it we knew that we had found a play that we liked, that suited owr class and that had dramatic potential for a great summer Lloyd Davies, Jordana Clark, Jess Donaldson

production. Before we knew it, the cast had been decided, scripts were given out, and ideas on how, what, where, and when were being thrown around amongst the group. For many of us, this was our last school production, which made it even more special. After the Christmas holidays we arrived at school to find rehearsal schedules being set, line deadlines arranged, and the set being designed. The idea of using the Davey House gardens and the Garnet Fielding Wing seemed to be a clever choice with much potential for a theatrical production. Trying to combine the play with CATs, sport and music, proved difficult, but we were all devoted to this for the long run. Class time was spent discussing ideas, blocking scenes, and learning lines. The play, set in Australia in the late 1960s, follows three families during the Christmas holiday period: a British family dealing with illness, an Australian family having personal problems, and a couple dealing with the loss of their son in the Vietnam War. With all the families being watched over by fairies, they have to deal with the events that are occurring during what is seen as a family time. Written by acclaimed Australian playwright Michael Gow, Shakespearian elements were combined with symbols of Australian culture through the use of the costumes and props, from old style barbeques to tight-fitting flares. The

incorporation of a pre-show cabaret outside Davey House gave the audience an opportunity to interact with some of the characters before the show, to nibble on "snags" and spray on the aeroguard and listen to the fairies entertain with 60's music, backed up by Mr Edwards and his band. With a few weeks to go, we were settling in to what we had to do. The balmy summer evenings spent running scenes on the grass lawn while the fairies rehearsed were found to be a relaxing break from the hectic days of school. The grounds around the Garnet Fielding Wing became our new home as we rehearsed into the night to perfect the show. The rehearsals from class, to lunchtimes, to weekends allowed little time for anything else. The many trips to op shops trying to find anything that reminded us of the 60's proved successful and yet we had to remember that this was going to be our CAT. In late March we performed the show and before we knew it it was over. No more rehearsals, no more costume hunting, and thankfully, no more lines, but the memories of 'Away' will not disappear so quickly. A big thank you must go to our director Deb

Textiles

An early excursion to Fashion Week Exhibitions in Term 1 whetted the appetite of the VCE Art (Textiles) students where they viewed some stimulating and challenging approaches to design. Some interesting themes have been explored by senior students in Textiles this year, in particular those which reflect the influence of Eastern and other cultures on our multi-cultural society. The linear qualities of Chinese characters have been used in print and applique. Other designs and symbols which reflect the blend of Eastern, Islamic and Indian culture with Western traditions have been explored through art pieces as diverse as dresses, saris, doona covers, screens and upholstery fabric. Other students used more personal themes and concepts to develop their textiles art works. Year 9 students have honed their skills with a "Pocket Project" and a class banner which will be on display in the Gallery in 2000. Jenny Abbott- Year 12

Year 10s had the opportunity to try a wider variety of Austin Gray subjects this year as most changed to a new area for each semester. This has been a very successful initiative. The challenge for Year 11 students has been to develop their own themes and ideas for their art works that have resulted in a diverse range of folio pieces. MRS J MITCHELL

Dana Wolfenden - Year 12

Photography Andrew Buckis - Year 11

The Years 9 and 10 students electing Ceramics as a vehicle for their creative expression looked back in time at the beautiful vases of the early Greeks. They went to the National Gallery of Victoria to visit one of the final exhibitions to be held at its St Kilda Road location until 2002. On their return, students were inspired to create classical shapes with a solid injection of late 20th Century influence. Photography is growing in popularity at Year 10 with the students taking a 3 week unit in tandem with their Ceramic course. MRS K LOCKE

The Years 11 and 12 students involved themselves in a range of creative projects this year. Sarah Anderson continued to blaze a trail in the area of Photography, producing a folio of subjects that had been explored and exposed magnificently. Marlon Law turned

Jaydon Wong - Year 12

to the beach (where else!) for his inspiration and Jaydon Wong created a number of stunning works based around the theme of nature. In Year 11, Georgie Corke was inspired by the world of fantasy and Alex Cherry's photographic folio was of an exceptionally high standard. Andrew Buckis also produced a range of photographic works based around the surfing industry. In all it Justin Harding - Year 11

has been another stunning year, with the culmination being the VCE Exhibition at the Deakin Woolstores.

1999 will be remembered universally as the last year of the millennium. It will also be remembered by the Fine Arts Department at The Geelong College as the year in which we embarked on our first VCE Art Camp to Santa Monica, Lome. Twenty students spent three fantastic days being inspired by the natural surroundings of the beach and bush. It was a wonderful opportunity to develop ideas for the coming year, and it was pleasing to see the finished folio of Anna Fitzpatrick after she had been inspired by the Life Drawing workshop of the Aits Camp. 1999 also saw the beginnings of the Parents' Support Group, and for this I would like to thank Janet Calder for her willingness to lead the group in its first year. Aits Week, which was held in the middle of Term 3, was once again a resounding success, with hundreds of students taking the opportunity to involve themselves in the creative process. "Ait in Reflection" was our opportunity to look back on our Arts' Heritage of the past 100 years, and perhaps

At the Year 10 level the students undertook projects that involved an extensive use of power tools. Once again the standards were very high and the students showed much enthusiasm towards new techniques and different machinery. I look forward to those students from within this group who have chosen to continue next year with the Technology subjects.

MR R KAYLER-THOMSON

VCE Units 1 and 2 students completed an excellent array of projects for their clients. Some involved history into their designs whilst others were innovative and modern. Dale Brums designed and made a fantastic double bed for his client. Sam West designed and constructed an excellent Jarrah outdoor setting for his mother's garden, whilst Scott Farquharson turned old Red Gum planks from their 120 year old shearing shed into a brilliant dining room table. It has certainly turned a few heads. The students from this year's VCE Unit 3 and 4 class have continued with the standards set in past years. They have been a

THOUGHTS

HERO

When you're thinking, You are finding out, Things you didn't know.

A musty, old, stale smell wafts across a dirty and blood stained field. A thick layer of mist has formed over the scene of past battles Slowly a tall man seeps through the thick layer of mist, Carrrying with him the sounds of sullen silence.

When you're thinking, Things are working, Around you and below.

He walks across the field to the very centre, where there lies a cross. He bends down, his matted locks draped across his scared face. He attempts to reconcile with one of many victims "Sony" he sobs

When you're thinking, Thoughts are coming, Take them, let them grow.

But sorry is too late TIM HOBDAY - Year 8

Let them grow across the world Share them with your friend, Let them grow across the sea, Your thoughts will never end. ELIZABETH WOOD - Year 3

DOLLY I had a dolly dressed in blue, Oh how I love her yes I do. Each day I bath her and put her to sleep, Lay her down gently, tip toe, creep. Today is her birthday, She's just two. Come to her party your doll and you. She has a tea set all painted pink, We'll have a lovely time don't you think. EMILY CARR-Year 1

WANTED A POTION FOR GOLD I'm looking for a potion That turns people into gold It's hard to find this recipe Because the secret can't be told. I'm looking for a potion, One that's very rare. I'll give you something in return, After all, that's only fair.

MY D E N T I S T My dentists name is Melinda Stein,

I'm looking for a potion One that works quite fast But the most important thing is, Its good effects must last Have you got this potion? I really hope you do Because I badly need this recipe To make my dreams come true SARAH ARNOLD - Year 7

She's related to Frankenstein. She operates on my teeth, But her hands smell like rotten beef. She's given me a plate, It's probably poison bait. She has an assistant whose name is Kelly, She has a really giant belly, Probably from eating too much jelly, And from watching too much telly. DREWLAWSON-Yeao

MY T E A C H E R . IS A M A N I A C My teacher is a maniac, He always screams at me, I reckon that he's crazy, A nuthouse escapee. He always walks with caution, And checks behind his back, He hides out in the staffroom, His classes are real slack. He asks us to write essays, 1000 words or higher, He won't let us go at the bell, Not even if there was a fire.

He sleeps all through assembly, And is always late for class, He makes his tests so hard, That Einstein couldn't pass. My teacher is a maniac, I suppose it's not so bad, He may be really crazy, But at least he's not my Dad CLAIRE VARLEY-Year 8

T H I N G S I LIKE The tranquil silence of a summertime dawn, The strong, sweet scent of a recently mown lawn, Cool clear water bubbling down a stream, The mellow taste of freshly whipped cream. ORANGE

CHROME

Orange Chrome is a hot summer's day, The crispy orange leaves during Autumn and May, It tastes sweet and great, And looks like the peach I just ate. Orange Chrome is a hot wind, The colour of some apricots, tinned, It is a bright light, and it's very strong, Orange Chrome's as cheerful as a little bird's song SIMON GRUZAUSKAS - Year 7

Innocent animals and the care that they need, Lying in bed with something to read, Gentle spring sunshine, pleasantly warm, The violent conditions of a raging thunderstorm. Long summer days down at the beach, A magnificent rainbow, just out of reach, The distant horizon, far across the sea, The unfettered wind, wild and free. Swimming for leisure - especially breast-stroke, Laughing hilariously at a silly joke, Playing hockey - a rapid team game, The feeling of pride - your moment of fame.

ATHS I like aths, I love aths, I was very embarrassed, When I went to little aths. I love the hurdles. WILL RUSSELL-Year 2

Relaxed and calm - the colour blue, The company of nature, honest and true, The welcome of home after a long hike. These are just a few of the things that I like. STEPHANIE SMITH-Year 7

THE SPIDER The spider builds his lovely web For his lovely wife Ladeb, He turns it slightly to the right, And pulls it firmly To make it tight, Then his lovely wife is ready, She eats him up, To keep her steady ELIZABETH WOOD-Year 3

Duke of Edinburgh Independence, self-motivation, self-responsibility, community awareness, planning skills, perseverance: all are qualities that we aim to instill in our students and children. The Duke of Edinburgh Award actively develops these attributes in those pupils who participate in the scheme. This year the number of students working their way through each of the Bronze, Silver or Gold levels has increased. Our first two students to have completed all three levels in their time at College, Brett Owen and Nicholas Tischler, collected their certificates at a ceremony at Government House on the 1st December. Simon Craig and John Oxley, who completed their Gold Awards over a period of eighteen months, joined these boys. Congratulations to all four boys on their initiative and perseverance. As well as having learnt new skills and having participated in physical recreation activities, various forms of community service have been completed by College students. There has been a variety of expeditions executed where the students have learnt about nature, about themselves, about group dynamics and leadership. Special thanks must go to Mr. David Hibbard who has been

Geography Field Trip YEAR 9 GEOGRAPHY FIELDTRIP INVERLEIGH - R O K E W O O D For my Year 11 English Communications Project I chose to organise and carry out a Year 9 Geography fieldtrip. The students were studying a unit on Agriculture, so I thought that a field trip out to two contrasting farms would help them in their understanding of how a farm runs. This included outputs and inputs, labour involved and the new farming techniques that have needed to be adapted in the last few years. To get this field trip off the ground I had to firstly organise the two farms I had in mind and to see if we were able to visit on the proposed date. Luckily this date worked in well with both farms. I had to then organise a letter to go out to the students and the parents advising them as to what they had to bring and when the date was. Student work sheets had to be finalised along with transport arrangements.

Adam Walton explains farm planning

Come Friday morning we were all organised to head out to the Hamilton's farm, 'Leighview', at Inverleigh. Here we looked at the new farming technique of Raised Bed cropping with John Hamilton, and the challenges involved in emu farming with Hilary Hamilton. We then moved on further out to Rokewood, to Marion and Bill Walton's farm, 'Wurrook South'. Here we had a talk delivered to us by their son, Adam Walton on the general aspects of farming. After having lunch we moved to our last port of call, a new venture of a free-range piggery. This operation is closely linked with Western Plains Pork located at 'Gumley'. Judging by the feedback given by students, the day was thoroughly enjoyed with the exception of a few strange smells. The Year 9 Geographers benefited greatly from the experience. Thanks must go to the two farm owners for hosting us on the day, as they did a fantastic job. Overall I found the experience extremely beneficial, as it involved all sorts of communication tasks. Hilary Hamilton explains the process of emu farming.

Anyone wandering into Campbell House on May 14 would have been entranced. It was Asia Day, and the excitement of the celebration rippled palpably through the classrooms. This year, Japan was the focus, and a range of activities brought the Japanese culture alive for our students. In one room, ceramics was the theme, and Kylie Vinton demonstrated the Japanese tea ceremony, before teaching the children to construct tea-bowls. In another room, the sound of percussion drew one in. Here, Geoffrey D'Ombrain led music workshops, which incorporated Japanese storytelling. Japanese games, Karati, Bon Odori dance and traditional paper-folding energized different corners of the campus, and everyone was treated to a lunch of miso soup and sushi, prepared by Steve Vinton, a chef who has studied Japanese cooking and lived in Japan. These sorts of broadening experiences are made possible by the Artist-in-Residence program, via which visitors to the school transport our students beyond the limitations of the school day. In some instances our students go to the artists instead, and such was the case with this year's Senior Art Camp at Santa Monica Retreat at Lome. An inspirational weekend was organized by our indefatigable Art Department, and sensational weather combined with the beautiful Otways environment, set the tone for workshops in photography, textiles, ceramics, life-drawing and water-colour. The practising artists Graeme Wilke and Amanda Hyatt, augmented the skills of our own talented art teachers, and a wonderful time was had by all. "Forget medicine and law, I want to be an artist," was the decision of one of the students on her return to College. The primaiy students in Middle School were treated to a puppet performance, "La Belle et La Bete" by the Carousel Theatre group. Students were primed beforehand with vocabulary and information, in anticipation of their viewing of the bi-lingual performance of several fairytales. It was a professional and highly engaging production. At Senior School, a day of instruction in the art of public speaking enabled many of our debaters and budding orators to absorb advice from one of the adjudicators of the Plain English Speaking Awards. We subsequently saw some fine performances in the Rostrum and various Public Speaking competitions as a result. One of the year's highlights was a brilliant visit from the Australian Raptor Centre to the Years 2 and 3 students at Campbell House. Wondrous birds of prey, including kites, eagles, owls and falcons, were displayed in an exciting flight demonstration, whilst down in the Barwon Valley below the school, a wild kestrel hovered, Moira Robinson

watching with rapt attention. This visit supported the work on flight, and local plants and animals, which the students were engaged in at the time. Before the end of Term 2, Alan Attwood, the well-known Age journalist had also spent time in the Senior School, and his thoughts on the craft of writing were of incalculable benefit to the Year 12 cohort who had their Writing Folio emerging for their second CAT. There was a continuing procession of visitors into all three campuses of the school throughout third term, and amongst the many stimulating activities that surrounded these visits was ARTS WEEK at the Senior School. As has been the case over the last four years, Morrison Hall was transformed into a massive art studio by our indefatigable Art Department during the middle of August, with a variety of activities being offered to the students in keeping with the theme "Reflections in Art". As always, Mr Greg Smith created great drama with his massive community mural which took shape over the week, but an added bonus was the visit of Aileen Brown, a Melbourne linocut artist of some note. Aileen's work at the College began in the week preceding ARTS Week, when she gave demonstrations in colour linocut printing technique to many of the senior art and textile classes. This is a highly technical process, and she resumed and completed the exercise with our students the following week, alongside offering the activity of printing linocut designs onto cushion covers in the hall. Some of these have no doubt found their way into many of your homes since then. The addition of a drummer on the stage of Morrison Hall for ARTS Week added an eclectic element to the occasion, and Jason Ure's contribution to the creative ambience in the "studio" was much appreciated. On the subject of music, the Senior School also enjoyed the talents of the Barry Cockcroft Saxophone Ensemble. Many of our music students were privileged to have the opportunity of a master class with individual members of this European Band, and the College Community as a whole was offered the chance of hearing "L'Ensemble Atmosphere" perform in an evening concert in Morrison Hall. It was an avant garde and challenging program, which extended the musical boundaries of all who attended. During Term 3, Campbell House had a visit from CSIRO gurus who workshopped activities based around the theme of stable structures on "Technology Day". Meanwhile at the Early Learning Centre a visit from an environmentally aware team, in the form of the Polyglot Puppet Theatre company simultaneously entertained and raised the consciousness of our students on the secret life of frogs and tadpoles. At Middle School there was an entourage of writers, with the

visit from Terry Denton, the popular children's author and illustrator, being a particular highlight. This engaging writer spent time talking through his literary strategies with the students, and workshopping skills such as creating characters in written and pictorial form, writing dialogue and creating storylines. The Year 8 Arts Week project, which has yielded such interesting artworks over the years, lived up to its reputation once again in 1999, with the installation of a beautiful fantasy birdcage, orchestrated by the exciting metal artist, Gerard McGill. I encourage you all to take the time to stroll up to the Art Centre and take in this enchanting piece of sculpture, "planted" amongst the paperbarks near the entry. One of the guiding principles of the Artist-in-Residence program has been to share its resources amongst all the faculties in the school, and this year, Jonathan Ryan took the initiative of inviting elite sportsmen and women to run a coaching day at Middle School in a range of sports. The clinic catered for 366 students from Prep to Year 7, and they spent time learning a variety of skills in Softball, Basketball, Aerobics, Cricket and Handball. We had experts of the stature of Nicole Richardson, who was a Bronze Medallist at the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta, and Dadao Dedic, former coach of the National Womens' Handball Team, running the sessions, on what proved to be a most enjoyable day. Another notable visit, which particularly complemented our focus on the sciences, and our celebration of former collegian, Sir McFarlane Burnett's achievements, was the arrival of Natalie Cutler, a fourth year Engineering student from Melbourne University. Natalie was an absolute dynamo, and had our Years 9 and 10 Science students busily engaged in robotics projects, where they had to design and build models to a set of specifications. She not only engendered in our students a high degree of imaginative and intellectual energy, but provided a wonderful role model for girls interested in pursuing careers in engineering and science. These are but some of the interesting practitioners with whom our students have been lucky to spend time during 1999, courtesy of the Artist-in-Residence Program.

Lizard Island That time in our lives spent messing about in boats provides some of our most treasured memories. Combine the boating experience with the splendour of the Barrier Reef, the sensuality of skindiving and the exotic location of Lizard Island and you have a truly unique experience. Since 1993, staff and supporters of the College are proud to have enabled nearly eighty lucky students, mostly from Years 7 and 8 to enjoy the pleasures and challenges of coral reef diving. The Lizard Island connection was first established in 1993 as a result of our links to the Australian Marine Sciences Association. The Australian Museum maintains a Research Laboratory on the Island and defrays costs by hosting school and university expeditions when accommodation is available. Our 1993 trip was a trial run for such a young group but our students acquitted themselves so well that we have been welcomed back year after year. While selecting students to join the trip is rarely a problem, it is much harder to keep a suitably experienced staff team together, given the other demands of our jobs and families. Lynne Ord, Heather Harris, Margaret Oates, Catherine Williams, Sue Scott and Captain Chris Mitchell have all enjoyed that spatio-temporal dislocation that comes from leaving a Victorian winter at 4 am to dive into a turquoise, tropical sea at 2 pm. Chris and Sue deserve special commendation for their roles, as they have both left their mark of quality by refining our catering, entertainment, safety and diving activities. Chris is a magician in the galley and can transform the contents of a few soggy cardboard boxes into a colourful feast by the time the rest of us have washed our gear and wandered back from the boats. Sue is the provider of solutions. No job is too hard or messy and no problem is too complex. The kids think they organise themselves, but Sue will have walked before them.

Each expedition has its own highlights and tribulations: Monty Hamilton and the Black tip reef shark in '93, Amber Richardson and the Beatles, Renae Butterworth and her hat (or lack of it), Rebecca Herd going fishing, night diving in the moonlight, Joel Bartlett's gashed leg, Anna Parker's arm (broken on day one but not enough to stop her from pulling on the wetsuit for another dive), beach volleyball, beach BBQ's, tractor rides from the airport, Bird Poo island, giant Bat fish, chasing turtles, circumnavigating the island while I was sick in bed, Alex and his snakes, big lizards, composting toilets, geckoes and many more. The '99 trip was remarkable for the change of the timing to April which should have given us better weather. Lizard Island can be very windy! Unfortunately, this happened to be one of their windiest and wettest periods on record and the whole island was saturated. Water was oozing from Mt Cook, the beaches had turned to quicksand and the Fountain of Youth became a waterfall. But what of the diving? This is a skindiving trip. If the weather is suitable we go diving. It is not a question of will we dive, but where. The central granite mountain is surrounded by a shallow fringing reef and sheltered lagoons. There is always somewhere spectacular to dive. Some prefer the clam gardens, Mermaid beach, Bird Islet, Palfrey Island or a drift dive over the sponges. The highlight for the lucky and not too sea-sick few is a ride in the twin 150 HP sharkcat out to McGillivray reef, where the water is deep and clear, the corals at their colourful best and the fish in the biggest, fastest schools. The co-directors of the research station, Anne and Lyle make us feel very welcome and help the young divers to design and conduct their own small studies in marine biology. The students have the use of scientific equipment, a well stocked library and the outboard runabouts, to plan, research, write up and present, their own marine biology assignment. MR S McCALLUM

The 1999 debating season proved to be very successful. With a variety of topics that included sport and current affairs, secret topics and old favourites rearing their heads, such as 'women's magazines do more harm than good', the teams had many impressive speakers displaying their argumentative talents. The Year 12 A graders were one of the most succesful teams in recent years and should be proud of their efforts. Undefeated after the fourth round, confidence was high. However, our dream ending to our school debating lives was not to be, with an unfortunate loss by one point to Clonard College on the difficult secret topic 'That Hollywood should have more self-discipline'. Best Speaker awards during the year went to Janet Lang and Joel Harris, but the entire team was committed to all debates and to helping their colleagues. The Year 11 College 1 team was the most successful team overall, finishing the year undefeated. They advanced to the State Octo-finals, but unfortunately lost by two points on the very political topic 'That America makes the world a safer place'. Kate Seward's three consecutive Best Speaker awards were wonderful. In the second team, Marie Sinclair and Sarah Roache both picked up Best Speaker awards. The year 2000 looks very promising. The Year 10 teams encountered such topics as 'That the republicans are ruining the Australian republic' to 'That the Olympics should be abandoned'. Angie Balaratnam must be commended for her three best speaker awards, an outstanding effort.

Kate Seward, Kathryn Manks (Rostrum Public Speaking Competition U/13 champion) and Veronica Milsom

The Year 9s were an enthusiastic and talented group in their first year together, winning three of their five debates and Philippa Hayden was awarded two Best Speaker awards from her three debates. This team will be a real force next year. Ludwig Wittgenstein once said 'whereof one cannot speak, therefore one must be silent'. This was not the case with all the speakers this year and shows that the future of inter-school debating at The Geelong College is assured for a long time to come. On behalf of all the debaters, we would like thank Mrs Gainey and especially Mrs Mahoney for their tireless help, advice and lifts to Geelong Grammar. Good luck for all the debaters for the future.

Languages CHINESE

Phoebe Simmonds - Year 7 French Day

The highlight of the year for the Year 9 students was the annual excursion to Melbourne's Chinatown, held in Term 3. The students were treated to a demonstration of martial arts and a guided tour of the Museum of Australian Chinese History. To complete the day, there was a delicious lunch at one of Melbourne's leading Chinese restaurants. Year 10 students also went on an outing to a local Geelong restaurant. The most important development for Chinese this year was the signing of a "sister school" agreement with ECNU No. 2 High School in Shanghai. In April, the Principal (Dr Turner) and the Head of Languages (Mr Keating) went to visit this school and were very impressed with it. One of China's most prestigious schools, it is attached to East China Normal University (ECNU), which is in itself a famous institution of learning. A large number of students have put their names down to go on the College study tour to China in 2000, which will include many activities organised for us by our sister school. We are hoping that they might also send some students out to visit us next year.

Anthony Ciach - Year 7 French Day

MRS J COGHILL and MR J KEATING LATIN FRENCH 1999 has been another busy year in French, with all students participating in the Alliance Francaise competitions. It was pleasing to see so many Years 9 and 10 students receive certificates for excellence in the poetry recitation section, while the Years 11 and 12 students gained valuable experience and practice for their VCE examinations. Once again our students shone, with many taking out top prizes for the region. For many of our students the year's highlight was a trip to the cinema to see a selection of French films - Les visiteurs (Years 9 and 10) and Le hussard sur le toit (Years 11 and 12). Many special activities were also held on Bastille Day, which this year fell during term time. Students (and even some staff) came dressed in red, white and blue and enjoyed games of petanque. MRS J EKKEL, MRS L THOMPSON and MRS C WYLIE

1999 was a busy year, but there were no startling developments in Latin. It is a great subject but not a dynamic one; curriculum change is rare and slow, and new students learn pretty much what their parents learned. This is good, I suppose, if their parents learned good things, bad if they learned bad things. It is, however, refreshing in a time of rapid change elsewhere, and while Latin students occasionally complain about the amount or difficulty of the material, they never say it should be simplified or up-dated. This is because, deep down, they like learning difficult things, and because they don't automatically reject what is old as boring or irrelevant. In Latin, and I'm sure in all subjects, they certainly want the genuine article, old or not, and not something that is watered down and second-rate, or totally mangled in a mad search for "relevance". The main changes this year have been at Year 9 and Year 12. The Year 9 course now includes a healthy dose of good oldfashioned Latin composition (something that is missing from the Cambridge texts in use). Translation exercises are completed every week or two, with the aid of an answer sheet and an English-Latin dictionary that was successfully trialled in 1998 and revised this year. The students have tackled these exercises with great enthusiasm, and the project will be extended into Year 10 in the year 2000. The Year 12 class again read Pliny and Virgil for CATs 1 and 2 respectively, but this time Book 2 of the Aeneid, which describes the Trojan horse and the sack of Troy by the Greeks. More time was spent practising questions in class prior to the examinations, and this was especially fruitful towards the end of the year, as we prepared for what is traditionally a ferocious unseen CAT 3. It was a little tamer this year, but the students were also better prepared because they had attempted literally dozens of sample tasks. Partly with this in mind, a collection of unseens has been added to the Year 12 booklist for next year MR L ZOCH

This trip was about discovery, about discovering the past and the wonderful Tasmanian wilderness that sits precariously in the Southwest corner of that state. For all those involved, it was a trip that offered the chance to grab a slice of history in a unique way. Looking back 7 months after the event, it all seems like a bit of a fairy tale. However, this fairy tale was real and did certainly have a happy conclusion for all those involved in the expedition. The trip had its beginnings in 1949 when a group of Geelong College past and present students were the first to make the ascent of the 1200 metre Federation Peak. One of that original party, Mr Allan Rogers, approached the school with the offer to support a return trip to the Peak, marking the 50th anniversary of the event. Preparations swung into action with a group of students selected after initial training hikes. Those who took part in the reenactment were Richard

Decent of Moss Ridge

Sellman, David Keith, Emily Chakir, John Arrigo, Jonathon Van Hest, Nadine Blyth, Scott Sinclair, Tim Waller, Drew Hendrey, Tim Black, Tim Peterson, Nick Tischler, Mr & Mrs O'Loughlin, Mr Taylor, Mr Allan Rogers, Mr Fred Elliott, Mr Bill Huffam and Mr Bob McMahon. From the moment we stepped from the plane to be greeted by news media, we realised that this was an event of significant proportions. We soon found ourselves driving deep into the wilderness, beginning our trek along the beautiful and picturesque Huon River and up and down the well named Yo-Yo track. Over the coming days we encountered many challenging experiences which included climbing under and over hundreds of huge logs, crossing rivers, climbing, climbing, and more climbing. And of course who could forget the flies! Along the way, the unpredictable beauty through which we were travelling amazed us. History had taught many before us that this isolated wilderness area, whilst exquisitely beautiful, could turn and catch unaware those who were ill prepared.

Emily Chakir

After 5 days the group made it to the base camp area and met up with Allan, Fred and Bill. On the 27th of January an air of excitement existed, even though the conditions were misty and cool. However, the 27th was to be the day. The sun came out and we went to face Federation Peak for the second time in 50 years. It was a case of being captivated by the sheer size and magnitude of the task at hand. We all made the ascent safely thanks to Bob's efforts, and once on top enjoyed the views and shared our joy with many others who we came across that day. It was a day that we will remember for many years to come and, hopefully, some will revisit the peak in another 50 years. The day finally ended at Hanging Lake with speeches, champagne and, of course, a College War cry that could be heard back in Hobart, all set against a magnificent Tasmanian wilderness sunset. Following the ascent we rested and sheltered from the weather for 2 days before continuing our journey down the torturous Moss Ridge and Farmhouse Creek track. We were welcomed back to

8.30am on the morning of the ascent

civilization by the Wilsons and enjoyed the hospitality of the Gibson family in Hobart. Through the dream of Mr Allan Rogers the College has once again embarked on a journey of discovery, one that will make us, hopefully, rediscover the value of involvement in challenges that transport us from the comfort and lifestyle of the late 20th Century and place us in environments that are new and exciting. Money cannot buy these experiences in life which stay with us forever. Thank you finally to the many people who helped make this trip such a successful one, too numerous to mention here, but a vital part of the expedition. To those going on the Coongie 2000 trip, have a good one!!. MR P TAYLOR

Federation Peak 50th Anniversary Climb January 22nd- February 2nd 1999

The Expedition That Was It was January 1949, the old growth forests of Southwest Tasmania were the home of a mountain which remained unclimbed, unconquered and untouched. It was on the 27th of that month in 1949 that the Geelong College Exploration Society wrote themselves into the record books. Their claim? The first ever to have climbed Federation Peak. Fifty years on, the Old Collegians: Allan Rogers, Bill Huffam and Fred Elliott, initiated a plan which would send a select party of twelve students and four adults to trace their steps of blood, sweat and tears all the way back to the top of Federation Peak. After many long months of training and preparation where skills were learnt and techniques refined, the party of sixteen, of which I was a member, was prepared for every possible scenario that nature could impose. Impatient to start our epic adventure, we flew from Melbourne to Hobart where we were quick to realise the importance of our expedition to Tasmanian television. A totally inadequate bus attempted to transport us through some of the most picturesque wilderness to the afternoon's hike. The first two full days of hiking along the banks of the Huon and Creacroft Rivers included tedious and frustrating hills, but provided good preparation for the climbing that lay ahead. The difficult conditions took its toll with the party splitting in two, where those who could set the pace were at some stages twenty minutes ahead. This division was almost proven costly when the party encountered the first rains coinciding with the crossing of the Creacroft River. The makeshift bridge, created from felled trees, became wet and slippery. Most of the party decided to hike on to camp to set up shelter while Nick and I fortunately decided to stay in the rain and wait for two of the girls in the party. Emily, losing her balance on the slippery trunks, slipped and fell down into a branch protruding out of the river. Fortunately Em' only received sore and bruised ribs making it possible for her to complete the climb. As our altitude increased the country around us changed from the lush forest within the valleys which were bordered by button-grass plains, to the rugged and rocky quartzite mountain ranges where the winds were cold and the views spectacular. The steep tracks emphasised the different levels of fitness. Sightings of the peak in the distance encouraged our morale as the size of the great rocky extrusion increased with every step. The party of hikers heard the echo of rotor blades long before the small red three-seater helicopter became visible. The helicopter immediately developed a sense of excitement throughout the party, especially when it went out of its way to pass over our swivelling heads. It carried not only the food required to get us through the next six days, but also Allan Rogers, Bill Huffam and Fred Elliott who were all members of the original climb. They would be a constant source of entertainment with their humour and entertaining stories. The men, along with the magnificent surroundings at the two separate base camps injected the party with the enthusiasm and adrenalin needed to complete the difficult climb to the peak. It was a foggy, freezing morning, the exposed nature of the my surroundings gave me little protection from the wind. As the bright sun rose over the far mountain ranges and penetrated the thick fog, the smell of hot muesli and milk drifted over to where I stood, face into the brisk wind. I looked out over the vast expanse of quartzite out-crops and wind-swept bushes to where the peak stood in the distance free from the surrounding ranges. My bones

ached as I attempted to stretch my sore leg muscles suffering from six long days of hiking, but pain was quickly ignored as on that day I would require all my strength and wits in order to conquer the almighty peak. As the fog lifted later that morning the expedition leader equipped with ropes, harnesses and other rock climbing paraphernalia ventured out towards the slippery rocks to where he would secure safety ropes for our ascent. The three Old Collegians reminisced about the times when they were our age and hiked Federation Peak for the first time. They described how much more rugged not only the terrain was back then but also the poor equipment, most of which was homemade. The equipment used by our party was the best, for which Allan Rogers can be thanked. The short but dangerous hike with packs to the base of the peak was completed in two groups, the first had already climbed to the top by the time the three men equipped with their cameras and water bottles arrived with the remainder of the party. We were briefed by the expedition leader before we were set free to scale the peak. Unfortunately not far from the base Bill Huffam had to retire due to the difficulties he experienced climbing with his injured hand which was minus three fingers. I felt sorry for this brave and determined man, so much so that I would have done almost anything to get him to the top. I was aware that back in 1949 he was restricted to the base camp because his hand had then only recently been blown up by a home made bomb, this now meant that he was unable to accompany me in one of the most interesting, exciting and fulfilling moments in my life. The climbing was surprisingly straight forward, especially with ropes. But the difficulty was the exposure, with around a 1,000 metre drop down to Lake Geves. Scrambling the last few metres my attention was drawn by one of our cameramen, John, who got a photo looking back down from the top to the lake below. Amazed by the achievement and preoccupied by the view, I struggled to walk over the rocky top. I finally reached the highest point of the peak where everyone was waiting for me. Almost straight away the click of cameras filled my ears and Allan rang home with his satellite phone. I found it incredible that there could be so much commotion in such a remote wilderness area of Australia. As the two older men soaked up the atmosphere I couldn't help thinking about what it would have been like fifty years ago, when people were hiking with home made packs, heavy canvas tents, cumbersome canned food, raw meat which required camp fires that were started on muddy ground with wet wood. What struck me as being the most difficult thing of all about hiking into Federation Peak back in '49 would have been using the tracks that only those who had failed had made before you, and once at the base of peak you were on your own as there was no proven route to the top. Once at the top, apart from joy and relief, I wondered if any of the original climbers felt that there was a sense that they had contributed greatly to opening up that particular wilderness area to other people. After completing such an exciting and important climb I now feel I have a greater understanding of the reasons why explorers persist in their exploration efforts. The exhilaration of obtaining what once was the unobtainable is extraordinary, and to complete such a feat with good company and without serious injury is an achievement in itself for all involved.

Six Year 9 classes made the four hour bus trip to spend five days at this special place in the foothills of the Victorian High Country. As they cross the Macalister River on the flying fox, College students are challenged to experience and view the world in a different way At Wollangarra, they helped in the vegetable garden and baked their own bread. On expeditions in the mountains, our students walked across the Wellington Plains, surveyed the views from Mt Spion Kopje, explored alpine huts, swam in freezing streams and were awed by the spectacle of Bryce's Gorge.

As always the Wollangarra staff were positive, friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed meeting Jenny Parks, Jarrad Holmes, Kate Lawler and Larissa Robbins. Ant and Melissa Mair (the directors of Wollangarra) guided our progress and still had enough energy left for their children Sarah and Jess, who meet a different set of friends each week! STUDENT RESPONSES: "Climbing the mountains may have been tough, but once we got to the top...we felt as though we were flying so high above the clouds. We could see for miles and miles!" - KRISTEN KIROFF "With no electricity everyone had to contribute , so we worked together and helped each other." - LUCIE BALODIS "We could see where bushfires had ripped through the mountains and everything was starting to regrow...We heard many stories about the mountains, making them a unique part of our history."-JOHN O'BRIEN "People who I did not know well before camp became great friends. Sharing all that time brought us together." - Meg Picken "It was good to have the responsibility of knowing that we all needed to put in to get something out of it. My view of what life is all about was changed." - ADAM TOFFOLON Many students return to Wollangarra to help in preserving the mountains for future generations. Year 11 student Tim Macauley was selected as part of a group to complete the 1999 Alpine Walk to raise funds for Wollangarra. Tim walked an average of fifteen kilometres each day for ten days to complete this challenge in April. MR T PARKES

1ST XVIII This year has been a successful year for 1st XVIII football at the College, with a 5:5 win loss ratio and finishing a respectable 5th on the APS table. The team felt every emotion possible from the exhilarating highs to the devastating lows. Our 1999 APS campaign started with a pre-season trip to Adelaide. Although we didn't taste victory in the 'City of Churches', we started to play as a unit and found a team bond that will be remembered for many years to come.

Ashley Freind

The beginning of the season saw games against Caulfield and Carey, the inevitable premiers and runners-up respectively. Our confidence was dented being considerably beaten in both games. This was to turn around in the following week against Scotch where all the work that had gone into the year had produced dividends seeing a come from behind victory. Disappointment followed in our roller coaster season with a loss to the bottom of the table Haileybury in the next match. The 'bloods' jumped us at the start and when all is said and done, this is the game that got away. Disappointed and bewildered after this loss we started to put things together in the following weeks winning against St. Kevin's, Melbourne Grammar and Geelong

Grammar. Our season was back on track and we were looking at a finish in third place. To do this we needed to win against Brighton, Wesley and Xavier in the final three games. Unfortunately, we were able only to defeat Wesley. The person mainly responsible for our success this year was our coach Mr Paul Conway. 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 immensely. This season, being his last as 1st XVIII coach, I would like to thank him on behalf of the team and hope he has a hand in the development of College footballers for many years to come. I would also like to thank Bob Read for his hours as head trainer of The Geelong College Football club; Charles Dennis for giving us first use of the water bottle and Anthony Read for his boundary riding. With a large contingent of eager Years 11 and 10 boys jostling for positions in the 2000 team, College football will be played at a high standard next year, and I wish the team every success.

2 N D XVIII The 2nd XVIII's season for 1999 was not outstanding, but we recorded several key wins against Scotch, Xavier and Carey for a 3/6 win loss ratio. The win against Carey was our most satisfying, coming from behind in terrible conditions. The side was best described as a champion team, opposed to a team of champions, evident in our great morale, loyalty and enthusiasm. Our backline was outstanding all year, led by Steve Green and Anthony Goode. Craig Scott, Richard Drummond, Simon Craig, James David and Zac Brennan were also key players. James Meek and Tim Allen rucked beautifully all season, with Tom Wettenhall, Dane Balodis, Pat Miller and Sandy Waters all working tirelessly on the ball. Our leading goal kicker, Tom Betts,

provided a great option up forward, with Tom Barr, Chris Gingell, Ben Collyer, Dale Bruns and Ben Goldsworthy all excellent at winning the ground ball.

The Year 10 Football team enjoyed a very competitive season in 1999. With a number of new boarders joining the team, a positive start was made to the season with two early wins. Excellent efforts were consistently made by Reid Merrimen, Tim Callan, Charles Gordon, Richard Butler, Mark Macgugan, Ashley Freind, Andrew Hamilton and Charles Fairbairn (when available). With the leadership of such players, vast improvements were witnessed in the second half of the season. After an early season drubbing by Xavier, the boys showed just how much they had improved when they met Xavier again in the later stages of the season, losing by only 34 points. Players such as Tyson Curypko, Mathew Shiels, Sean Sowerby and Nick Gilchrist improved greatly and their attack on the footy was inspirational. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Gilby, who through his enthusiasm and constant encouragement has made the past two years a very enjoyable and rewarding experience for all the boys involved. Thank you also to Mr Claringbold and Mr Kayler-Thompson for their support throughout the season. Team consisted of: Gregory Allen, James Alston, Nicholas Bridges (Captain), Richard Butler, Tim Callan, Hamish Catt, Sam Chisolm, Tyson Curypko, Jack Eastman, Charles Fairbairn, Ashley Freind, Nicholas Gilchrist, Charles Gordon, Ross Gould, Andrew Hamilton, Mark Macgugan (Vice Captain), Reid Merriman (Vice Captain), Stephen Parker, Mat Shiels, Sean Sowerby, Tony Talevski, Brent Trengrove, Tobias Van Hest.

3 R D XVIII The true success of the 3rd XVM's season is not measured in the number of goals one sees on the board but more so in what individuals have gained from such participation. In this respect, there are those in this squad who should be proud of their achievements. Week after week they put a genuine effort into their involvement of the game, only to be faced with strong opposition. Despite this fact, as time developed and a core group of committed players emerged, it was pleasing to see some good football played in the latter part of the season. Regular contributors who displayed the qualities outlined were: Ryan Anskaitis, Andrew Buckis, James Christensen, Ben Cummins, Ben Doyle, Anthony Favaloro, Edward Fitzgerald, Matthew Grant, Daniel Gray, Ryan Hutchinson, Will Jennings,

YEAR 9A The 9As enjoyed a very successful year. Despite losing its opening practice match the team was looking forward to what we hoped would be an enjoyable season. We lost our first match by 15 points to Caulfield Grammar and our third match to St. Kevins. After these early losses we were keen to get a win on the Tobias Van Hest, Tony Talevski

Dean Elliott

board and from that point on we were undefeated, winning 7 consecutive matches. We won our games through hard running from the centre-line, strong marking and accurate kicking from the forwards. The back-line constantly kept the pressure on their opposition. The boys who played in the 9As this year were: Ben Doak, Tom Pasco, Matthew Boehm, Nick Goldsworthy, James HopeJohnstone, Hugh Lockie, Mark McDonald, Matt Torney (Vice Captain), Chris Wilson, Nick Betts (Captain) Sam Cummins, Peter David, Daniel Curtis, John O'Brien, Richard Herd, William Kendall, Alex Burton, David Gilbert-Kent, Michael McKenzie, Stuart Hall, Eddie Sell, Rohan Kux and Nick Boyle. Finally the team would like to thank Mr Clifford, for a large part of our success was due to his coaching. NICK BETTS - Captain

YEAR 9B The 9B football team struggled for numbers all year, often having to "borrow" soccer players and even drag boarders out of bed to make up a team! But team spirit was good, morale was always high and we won more games than we lost - 6 and 3. As the season went on, we gained confidence and started to use the ball well. Our forward line developed into a scoring machine, though it lost a little when Rohan Kux was promoted to the Year 9A team. Our on ball players always ran hard, led by Elliot Brennan, Jamie Richards, Michael Mackenzie and Mark Day. The backline became a tight unit, led by Stuart Hall and Stuart Hickman. Our thanks to Mr Keating for coaching us throughout the season. Regular team members: Elliot Brennan, Michael Chapman, Mark Day, Callan Dendle, Richard Gough, Stuart Hall, Stuart Hickman, Andrew Jarvie, Rohan Kux, Edward Lawler, Michael Mackenzie, Jamie Richards, Drew Robertson, Allan Robson.

1ST XI It was a successful but also a disappointing season for the 1st XI. Successful because we competed at the top level for the first time and gave several of the more fancied APS schools a real run for their money; disappointing because we were not in the end able to defeat any of those schools. After ten matches (and a bye) we finished at the bottom of the table with no wins, eight losses and two draws. Obviously we weren't quite good enough, and there is no use denying that on most occasions, especially early in the season, we were simply outclassed by more experienced and skilful opponents. Caulfield in Round 2, Scotch in Round 3 and Melbourne Grammar in Round 7 were especially formidable, as was Brighton Grammar, the premiership team, in Round 9. Our best performances were against Haileybury in Round 5, Wesley in Round 10 and Xavier in Round 11. We only lost to Haileybury 1-2 in the final minute or so, while we scored in the final minute to draw 3-3 with Wesley on Mackie Oval in front of an excited home crowd. This performance gave the team its first point of the season, and more importantly a much-needed boost of confidence. A week later, the boys scored an equally memorable draw against Xavier, who at that stage was fifth on the ladder.

Down 1-2 at the break, they showed remarkable courage to score against the flow of play and then to hang on under the most relentless pressure during the final twenty minutes. It was the only time we had won the second half of a match for the year, and a season which had started so poorly had ended magnificently. 1st XI players in 1999 were: James Boston (Captain), James McGregor (Vice-Captain, Most Valuable Player), Nicholas Black, Jacques de Richebourg (Most Improved Player), Gareth Donald (GK), David Ellis, Edward Jeremiah, Nicholas Keays (GK), Marcus Lambert, Nicholas McDonald, Andrew Napier, Philip Naylor, Brett Owen, Nicholas Parks, Andrew Pettig, Nathaniel Reader, Christopher Reichl, Ben Roberts, Simon Wetherell. JAMES BOSTON - Captain

2ND XI The 2nd XI (playing in the APS third division) had a very successful season, winning six matches and losing four. More importantly, they played attacking and entertaining soccer, and improved as a team as the season progressed. The back four, led by James Cameron and Simon Holt, with Tim Black and Steve Nichols were solid all year; the midfield was capably organised by Marcus Lambert, Marcus Lee and Andrew Pettig, while most of the goals came from Edward Jeremiah, who was ably assisted by JianBin Hu, Adam Wightman and Lloyd Davies. Others to play in the team were: Edward Cameron, Remi Canales, Scott Jordan (GK),

and Paul Ran tall. Naturally there were some disappointments (the game at Haileybury springs to mind!) but there were many more wonderful moments. Like the 1st XI, we saved our best until the end of the season, and the victory over Xavier in the last round was a beauty. The fact that Pettig broke his arm only added to the excitement, especially as he managed to convert a penalty immediately afterwards! The best game, however, was certainly the second last, against Wesley at the Prep. School. This was one of the best games I've ever seen at this level. The Wesley boys were far from hopeless, but they were cut to pieces by our running midfielders and forwards, and by the accuracy of our passing and shooting. Marcus Lambert's goal in the second half - a header over the keeper from a raking 40 metre cross - was something from the Premier League, and much appreciated by the numerous parents and supporters on the side-line. The following awards were made at the conclusion of the season: Most Valuable Player -James Cameron; Most Consistent Steve Nichols; Most Improved - Simon Holt; and the Coach's Award (for consistent contributions on and off the field) - Timothy Black.

YEAR 9B The 9B soccer team had a great year in 1999. Surely one to be remembered with seven wins, one draw and two losses. With the guidance of our coach, Mr Kovacev, the team scored some great victories. There is no doubt that Mr Kovacev made a permanent mark in the way the 9Bs played. By increasing the players' skill level and concentrating on attacking and defending as a team, we will be ready to represent Geelong College well when we become the Year 10 team. The team stats, for the season were: Played 10, Won 7, Drawn 1, Lost 2. Goals scored 24, Goals against 13. Goal scorers: Sam Watson 8, David Winship 4, Nick Wightman 3, Adrian Weeks 3, Wade Byrnes 2, Sam Hesper 2, Mark Costa 2. Other players in the squad include Simon Harrison, Stuart Allen, David Crittenden, William Dolley, James O' Rourke, Ryan McCormack, Tim Armstrong, Ryan Tyack, Jarrod Campbell, Matthew Varley, Sam Neunhoffer and John Paterson. WILLIAM DOLLEY-Captain

MR L ZOCH -Coach Simon Wetherell

YEAR 10 1999 was a good year for the Year 10 soccer team with a single loss from the 10 games played. As a team we shone, however those who stood out were Ryuichi Sagakuchi (Du), David Donaldson, Edward Cameron, Stewart Hamilton, Adam Webster and, of course, the Captain Doug Mason-Eden. We would like to thank our coach, Mr Clark, who made our ten wins possible. Other team members were Tim Andrews, John Carmichael, George Gibbons, Jonathan Mitchell, David Omerod, Paul Rantall, Ben Kloester, Ben Lannan and Evan Purdey. Awards for the season were: Most Valuable Player: Adam Webster. Most Improved; Ben Lannan. Coach's Award: Doug Mason-Eden. Most Consistent: Edward Cameron. James Boston

BOYS' 1ST XI With two wins from nine APS fixtures this season, the 1st XI boys' hockey team was done no justice on the scoreboard - each round being a hard fought, competitive match. Our final home game served as testament to our unrealised potential where we played eventual premiers Scotch College. The game was a contest that could easily have ended either way; the final result being a close 3 goals to 6. Alastair Dadds' return to Australia added to our experienced line up - ten of fifteen regulars boasting previous experience at 1st level hockey. Goalkeeper Joel Harris stepped into the team after narrowly missing a place last year. He kept goals reliably and spectacularly throughout the season and was unlucky to miss APS selection. Toby Campbell and Drew Hendrey provided Harris with support, their skills frustrating opposition forwards. Aaron Hunt demonstrated versatility, capably taking any position given. Vice-Captains Shane Groom and Richard Bremner, led by example, scoring goals or setting up many opportunities. Groom supplied team spirit, his questionable sense of humour often the

answer. Year lis, Sam West and Warwick Lamb, held the crucial half back positions, Tom Kaye confirmed as key forward with regular entries on the score card. Scott Stanbridge, Gus McLean and Adam Kibbis completed our attack, characterised by unique creativity in hockey skills. Shaun McKenzie showed promise filling forward line vacancies. A standout in all matches, Rob Moreton was one of the players of the competition. Often he would cut through opposition defence with ease. His leadership was great and enabled a truly cohesive team to play to their potential. Thanks to Mr Smith in his rookie season.

BOYS' 2ND XI A renewed and enthusiastic 2nd boys' hockey side hit the field under the coaching expertise of Mr Gary Montgomery for the second year. The constantly undermanned team consisted of Tom Forbes (Captain), Guaran Chan (Vice Captain), Tom Fraser, John Oxley, Andrew Pye, Robert Chakir, Tom Jackson, Andre Trosky and Phil Messenger. From the beginning of the season Mr Montgomery set to work in an effort to turn a group of uncoordinated underdogs into a skilled and feared force in APS 2nd hockey. Whilst not a totally successful endeavour, Mr Montgomery promoted his traditional values to inspire us to work as a team with great spirit and most of all, to have fun. Moreover, no other hockey team did that quite like us, during both training and APS matches. Mr Montgomery, however, was to take long service leave for end of the season and Tim Reichl enthusiastically filled the position leading us to two wins in our last three games. Our skills coach Caroline Jordan was very competent and contributed her valuable time for our inevitable benefit. While our five wins certainly added to the enjoyment had by all, the memories give the greatest indication of our season. We will always remember Tom Fraser's numerous skilled saves in his baggy shorts as the homie goalie from hell. Also Andre Trosky and Rob Chakir's teamwork and individual skill running the ball out of defence will be remembered.

Thanks must go to those players who filled in for us, all those who supported us (especially Mr Fraser who travelled whatever the distance to cheer us on), Caroline Jordan, Tim Reichl, and Mr Lea Quail and most importantly the man who started the ball rolling. Our success and enjoyment is a clear indication of Mr Montgomery's skill as a coach, not only teaching hockey skills but

in encouraging teamwork and promoting the setting and achieving of goals. It was a pleasure to captain the boys' 2nd XI with my ViceCaptain Guaran Chan. I could not have chosen a better group of boys to lead and I wish them well for the future. TOM FORBES - Captain

B O Y S ' 10A This year the Year 10 hockey team faced a daunting season. Each week our players, some with the experience of many past seasons and others participating in their first season of hockey at College such as Aaron Madden and Stuart Grieg, tried their hardest against more the experienced Melbourne schools. Each player in the team gave their all and, to their credit, did not give up even when faced with big scores against us. James Kay, Will Hurst, Luke Kuzmich, Phoebus Shum (when not missing the bus), Robbie Harris and Dom Crowley played superbly all season. Charles Hill and Al Renick were valuable players despite injuries. All of the Year 9 students in the team played well throughout the season highlighted by moments of brilliance from players such as James Sutherland, Tom Brushfield and Steve Sullivan. Thanks must go to our coach, Mr Quail, who always encouraged our performances. All in all I think the season taught us a great deal. SHAUN MCKENZIE - Captain

G I R L S ' 1ST X I Despite a rather unsuccessful season on-field for the 1st Girls' Hockey team, who failed to record a win, a fun time was had by all, with each member of the team playing throughout the season with great enthusiasm. Lia Bailey and Liz Ryan, Co-Vice Captains, worked hard all season to make my job, as Captain, much easier. I was extremely grateful for their support both off and on the field. They were also key members of the team in every game with Lia being our top goal scorer for the season. Chalini Gunawardana, one of the veterans of the team, was always a reliable halfback and very supportive of the younger members. Janey Gwyther and Angie Hamilton came into the team this year, and proved invaluable in our forward line. Angie provided one of the highlights of the season with her impossible goal against Carey. Stephanie Holbery was the new recruit goalie, who continued to improve with every game. Although quiet off the field, she surprised the team with her aggressiveness on field. She must be congratulated on such a wonderful job in a very hard position. Sarah Kelly could only be described as an enthusiastic player who was always reliable as our star halfback. Georgie Lyon was solid in defence throughout the season, playing an essential role in holding down the often-besieged halfback line. Breanne Jackson was the one to keep the team amused on and off the field and always did a great job as our fullback when available from Basketball. Leah Martella and Jenny Selvidge worked well on the forward line and provided the team with many scoring opportunities. Jayne Lamb and Jacinta Holien were the babies of the team who managed to make more noise than the rest of us combined. Their skill and enthusiasm were an asset this year and will be for several years to come. I would like to thank Mrs Lean for all support this year and wish the best of luck to next years' team. ALICE BAULCH - Captain Alice Baulch, who entered the team in Year 10, did a wonderful job as captain this year. As well as gaining "Most Valuable Player" for the season, her support for the younger teams

Lia Bailey, Chalini Gunawardana

and players was invaluable. She is to be congratulated on her efforts for Girls' Hockey over the past three years. LIA BAILEY & LIZ RYAN Co-Captains

GIRLS' 2ND XI Following a mass exodus from Netball into Hockey, the Girls 2nds began the season with an inexperienced but determined team. The team consisted of Sophie Ayerbe, Melinda Cooke, Jess Donaldson, Penny Finch, Sophie Halsall, Eliza Hobba, Kate O'Donnell, Jenny Patchett, Ellise Roberts, Bronwyn Rose, Jessica Scoullar, Marie Sinclair, Georgie Corke, Claire Barlow and Penny Ladd. Everyone improved dramatically this season and despite few wins, every game was enjoyed. It was terrific to observe the development of the team throughout the season. I think Bronwyn and Ellise deserve a special mention for bravely donning the goalie gear and filling in for Penny in our final game. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mrs Tol andjordy for coaching us. JESSICA SCOULLAR

GIRLS' INTERMEDIATE A The 1999 hockey season for the girls' Intermediate teams started off with a mixture of players from Years 9 and 10, and our new coach, Mr Trent Lucas. Some of the players had never played hockey before, and others were quite experienced. As the season started, we made two teams, the Inter As, and the Inter Bs. The Inter As consisted of Alanna Lyon, Clara Davies, Julie Hunter, Amelia McLean, Alex Champness, Amy WilkinsonBeards, Lisa DeStefano, Kaela Martella, Niki Stow, Fiona Sykes, and Elin McPadden. Our skills coach, Carolyn Jordan and Trent, helped to improve our overall skill and fitness throughout the season. The Inter As had a very successful season, drawing one match, and losing one unfortunate match to Geelong Grammar. We enjoyed an end of season break-up, where certificates were distributed and best players were recognised. These were awarded to Lisa Di Stefano, Fiona Sykes, and Clara Davies, who were all chosen by the team as a whole. Special mention should also go to Julie Hunter, the Inter As goalie, who only let 4 goals though for the whole season.

Many thanks to our coaches Trent Lucas, Mr Hibbard and Jordy, for their support throughout the season, and best of luck for all the girls next year. FIONA SYKES - Captain

GIRLS' INTERMEDIATE B This season was full of enthusiasm and success carried out by all members of the Inter B hockey girls, with two losses and a draw the only crosses to our name. Despite no goalie, countless injuries and more than three people short on various days, the B girls put up a good fight. Alexandra Malon and Catherine Bennetts our determined backs, managed to block many incoming goals. Sarah Harbutt and Julia Hadley our half-backs, helped set up many a goal, with their skills and determination in both attack and defence. Linty McDonald and Gemma White our wings, also played a major role throughout the season. Inners Louise Gore and Bethany Skinner and centre forward Sally Caldwell showed effort and skill during all matches. Thank-you especially to Mr Hibbard and also to Trent Lucas and to Caroline Jordan for coaching us. Also thank-you to the A girls, especially Camille Mewett and Milly McLean for helping out when we needed it.

B O Y S ' 1STS Boys' 1st VIII consisted of: Matt Goldsworthy, Tom Wettenhall, Simon Robertson, Anthony Goode, Edward Jeremiah, Marcus King, Alex Boyle, Ben Dew, Derek Haybittel, Nick Bridges and Andrew Sheahan. The year started with changes from the year before, with the loss of several key players. It was left to Mr Smith to juggle a selection for our first match. We headed into the first practice match not knowing what to expect, as we had a lot of new blood amongst our ranks. After a 10 sets to 6 sets loss to a quality opposition, we were all pleasantly surprised. The second practice match was cancelled, and we were into the APS season. Our first match was against the boys from across the bay, Geelong Grammar, and we posted our first win, 11 sets to 5 sets. Marcus King showed he was going to be a force in APS tennis, losing only one game for the day. This win was followed by a severe drought, and it was not until after the Christmas break, and one strenuous training camp, that the boys came back ready to face some tough opposition. Our first match back was against the highly rated Wesley College. In this encounter we managed to play some of our best tennis for the season. Although we did not win, the boys put in a commendable effort to go down 10 sets to 6 sets. Notable performances came from Tom Wettenhall and Derek Haybittel. The following weeks for the boys brought loss after loss. It wasn't until our third last match that we bought it all together to achieve one of the best wins College has seen in several years, defeating Carey 14 sets to 2 sets. With this win we had high hopes going into our final matches. Premiership team, Haileybury, was our next opponent. We lost enough said. Our final match we faced quietly confident, having played St.Kevin's previously. Yet, with the inclusion of many quality players, we went down in a tough encounter 13 sets to 3 sets. I would like to thank Mr Smith for the time he put into getting the most out of every player; Mr Don Cameron, who put in tireless hours attempting to shape us into a first class unit, and Mr Andrew Cameron, who stood in when needed. I would also like to thank the newly formed Parents' Support Group, who, in one short season, have given tennis at College a much needed boost in stature. To all those who helped me as captain, I would like to thank you for your time and effort. It was much appreciated by all College tennis players. I wish all the boys in next year's 1st VIII the best of luck. MATTHEW GOLDSWORTHY - Captain The coaches would like to commend Matthew on a sterling season as Captain. He has been in the first squad for four years, and his commitment to the team over this period has been exemplary. He was a captain who could draw his "boys" together as a team, was a font of optimism and gritty determination despite any odds, and

made a worthy role model, especially for the younger players. Thanks, Matthew. Tom Wettenhall also deserves a special mention. As an allround sportsman, who could have as easily played 1st cricket as well as tennis, his contribution and dedication to the 1st Tennis over four years has been critical to maintaining a stable core of good players in the team. He achieved a well-deserved Vice-Captaincy this year. Well done, and thanks, Tom. MR G SMITH & MR D CAMERON

BOYS' 2NDS The season was not memorable for the team's competitive successes, but there was an overall positive approach throughout the season. Even in matches like those played in drizzle on soaked courts at Xavier, or played at Keysborough after a long bus trip, team morale stayed high and players showed great determination. It is understandable that College teams will struggle in competition against schools with many more players, and this held was true in season '99. Against Caulfield Grammar, Carey and Wesley the team came close, but against Scotch, Xavier, and Haileybury the team struggled to win single matches. This year saw changes to the training sessions, and the hiring of a professional coach whose tuition and manner was much appreciated; even inspirational. The exercises had the effect of sharpening up general fitness and improving technique. Playing for the seconds at least once this year were Ben Dew, James Kilpatrick, John Costa, Ben Roberts, Jacob Luca, Edward Jeremiah, Tom Barr, Zac Brennan, Simon Bowler, Marcus McWilliam, Robert Moreton, Ben Goldsworthy, Fergus Weber, Marcus Lee, Anthony Favoloro and Simon Holt. MR M WHITTLE -Coach

BOYS' 3RDS The 3rd VIII playing in the 5th competition of the APS proved too strong for a majority of their opponents. They were undefeated until the very last game, going down by the narrowest of margins to Wesley. The boys improved their skills over the course of the season and the professional coaching of Craig Morris on Monday nights helped immensely. They were coached on the finer points in backhand, forehand, volleying and serving. Many thanks must go to our coach Mr Kovacev for his fitness work during training and his help and organisation during the early Saturday mornings. The team list consisted of David Libby, Dale Bruns, James McGregor, Ben Cummins, Anthony Favaloro, Simon Holt, Marcus Lee, Marcus McWilliam and James Urquhart.

James Kilpatrick

All players contributed to a terrific season. A great effort during training saw significant improvement to the standard of play, resulting in some spectacular games and some terrific wins. Special mention must be made to James Alston who didn't lose a match throughout the season. Thanks must also be made to Nick Bridges and Andrew Sheahan who played for us when they weren't needed in the first team. Hamish Catt, Andrew Hamilton and Edward Billings who played as our second, third and fourth players, also were consistent performers. A strong partnership was formed at positions five and six between Toby Van Hest and Cameron Nation, with many impressive wins throughout the year. Mention must also be made of Paul Ran tall, Ben Kloester, Tom Butters, Steve Jones and Ross Gould who all played very well and improved during the season. Special thanks must also go to our coach Mr I. Cochrane who coached the team very well. The team consisted of- Nick Bridges, Andrew Sheahan, James Alston, Hamish Catt, Edward Billings, Andrew Hamilton, Paul Rantall, Toby Van Hest, Cameron Nation , Ben Kloester, Tom Butters, Steve Jones, and Ross Gould.

We commenced the season in February, and, after a very brief time spent in establishing all players' potential we were off and running, or in this case, volleying. This year saw the introduction of a specialist coach once a week at training and the playing of a Friday afternoon competition, both of which helped to raise the overall profile of tennis at this level of competition. It would be true to say that the season proved a most successful one, with the team managing to go through undefeated. As the weeks unfolded and various members of the squad were given an opportunity to represent the school, it was pleasing to see the players practise skills and develop healthy partnerships in the doubles matches. To its credit, College offered positive competition to all opposition teams, managing to have a full representation each week. With the majority of the Saturday matches being played in good weather, the team developed a united spirit, which was reflected in not only excellent on court behaviour, but also in the time spent together at practice and on the bus trips to Melbourne. Regular contributors to the team were Dane Balodis, Jordan

B O Y S ' 9A The Year 9A Boys' tennis team had a particularly successful season, remaining undefeated throughout Term 1. All the boys trained well together, using practice sessions effectively to improve both their stroke production and match tactics. A feature of the season was the considerable improvement in the doubles performance by each of the pairings. Two strong performances against Carey and a resounding win over Caulfield were followed by impressive play against strong teams from Xavier and Haileybury. Nicholas Goldsworthy and James Hope-Johnstone played consistently well as the first pair, ably supported by Nicholas Betts and Chris Wilson. Mark Costa and Wade Byrnes improved their level of play each week to form the foundation of the team in the middle order. Alex Burton and Mathew Torney were keen competitors at all times, adding valuable depth to the College representation. Overall, each member of the team contributed to achieve these outstanding results for the season. MR R SMITH-Coach

B O Y S ' 9C It was a season of mixed success. With only four Year 9 students being regular members of the team and relying on Year 10 students to make up the numbers, it was difficult to achieve stability in pairs. Nevertheless, Jarrod Campbell, Aaron Madden, Andrew Pierce and Drew Robertson (our regular Year 9s) played some excellent tennis and all improved as the season progressed. The results of matches varied considerably, but there were seldom weeks where the team was not competitive and all had an enjoyable season. Our thanks to Mr Sloane who was both bus-driver and coach.

GIRLS'1STS Coming into the new '98/99 season our team was determined to win. After the first three rounds we saw a chance to do just that. In the fourth round we had a tough contest against our main contenders, Caulfield Grammar. Leading 5-3 after the doubles we managed only to win two singles matches from then on. After this loss we thought that we could no longer win the premiership trophy, but our coach Andrew Cameron gave us an inspiring talk one morning at training that spurred us on. He knew that if we performed to our potential we could definitely defeat Caulfield in the last away round. In between rounds 4 and 5, the Year 11 and 12s in the team headed off to Melbourne to take on other schools from around Melbourne in the TCAV tennis championships. There was some tough opposition with Caulfield and Methodist Ladies College in our section of the draw. We managed to overcome these teams and take out our section without dropping a match. The following day we headed to Melbourne again to play the final against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. We proved to be too strong for them only losing a set, and once again winning the Championship. In the second half of the season we saw a walk over from Carey and achieved a convincing win over Wesley. In the following match we thrashed Geelong Grammar, not dropping a set, and in

the final round we defeated our main rivals, Caulfield, in a nail biting final set to take out the APS premiership. The premiership team consisted of Sarah Kelly (Vice-Captain), Rebecca Morphett (Vice-Captain), Marie Sinclair, Anna Fitzpatrick, Jane McMillan, Katrina Dennis,Tina Reilly, our number one cheer leader Pip Hayden and myself. As a result of winning the APS Premiership five of the 8 girls competed in the Victorian School Championships at Melbourne Park on Friday 3rd September. There were 8 schools in the competition, divided into two sections. Our section consisted of Melbourne Girls' Grammar, Mt Lilydale and Thomastown. We won all three matches to place ourselves into the final against the other section winners, Strathmore. Again, our brilliant team proved too strong for the Strathmore side winning three out of the four singles easily, to take the title with the completion of just one game in the doubles. The team consisting of Sarah Kelly, Rebecca Morphett, Marie Sinclair, Tina Reilly and myself will represent Victoria at the Australian Secondary Schools Tennis Championships in Brisbane from the 28th November to the 6th December. On behalf of the 98/99 Girls Premiership Tennis Team I would just like to thank Mr Young for all the time he spent organising our matches and driving us to Melbourne. And also Andrew for all the help he has given us to try and make us tennis players, thanks very much. EMILY HAYLOCK-Captain

S C H O O L S TEAM T E N N I S CHAMPIONSHIPS Brisbane. November 29th - December 3rd. The Geelong College Tennis team of Emily Haylock (Captain), Marie Sinclair, Sarah Kelly, Rebecca Morphett and Tina Reilly finished third in a very closely contested competition, narrowly missing a playoff for 1st and 2nd positions. All the girls played extremely well in hot and trying conditions, proving to be very competitive against schools that were tennis specialists. The College team defeated Applecross Senior High School (WA), Clayfield College (Qld) and St Clares College (ACT) in the round robin competition, narrowly losing by one game to the eventual runners-up, Scotch Oakburn (Tas.). They then defeated Marryatville High School (SA) by 5 games in the playoff for positions 3 and 4. An outstanding team from Kincoppal - Rose Bay (NSW) was the winner of the competition. The girls were presented with bronze medallions at the presentation dinner at the conclusion of the event. They are to be congratulated on their efforts. MR D YOUNG-Coach

GIRLS' 2NDS Sensational, triumphant, hysterical. Just a few words to sum up the efforts of the girls' 2nds who went down just one match for the season. Our success was a reflection of the strong consistency involved in the team consisting of Mel Cooke, Rowena Neunhoffer, Dianne Bath, Jane Lawler, Amy Young, Hannah Lockie, Simone Kux and Laura Coad. Ro and Di decided to go out with a big bang for their last season with College, playing commendable tennis. Next year promises to be just as much fun, good luck to all the girls. Thanks must go to Coach Brown for a prosperous and unforgettable season, and for the ice creams!

GIRLS' 3RDS The tennis season of '99 turned out to be one of fun rather than triumph for the Senior Girls' 3rd tennis team. Coming up against stiff competition nearly every week, the team, consisting Janey Gwyther, Niki Bruns, Anna Betts, Sarah Hopkins, Hannah Bowd, Chalini Gunawardana, Rebecca Herd, Renae Butterworth, Dana Wolfenden and Sally Mountjoy, improved throughout the season. Congratulations to Niki who put in consistently for the whole season, constantly achieving the best results of the team. Other strong performers were Janey, Dana, Anna and Sarah. It was a great season and we hope for the same for next season. Thanks must go to Mrs. Brown for supervising our training sessions and especially to Mme. Baggiere for accompanying the team to its destination every week. ANNA BETTS & SARAH HOPKINS

GIRLS' INTERMEDIATE A, B and D Although we were rained out of several Melbourne matches, the Intermediate A and B and D teams enjoyed a very successful season of tennis. The Intermediate A squad recorded only one loss to Geelong Grammar and consisted of: Phillipa Cances, Philippa Farr, Tessa Fitzpatrick, Jane Hayden, Philippa Hayden, Belinda Holt, Phoebe King, Stacey Lancaster, Alexandra McLeod, Alice Urquhart, Alice Wettenhall and Naomi White. The Intermediate B squad remained undefeated for the entire season. Players included: Peggy Austin, Merryn Allen, Sally Caldwell, Laura Hickey, Stephanie Guyett, Natasha Kidman, Kristen Kiroff, Sally Robertson, Alanna Lyon, Nicole Manks, Alison Shaw, Sarah Strachan and Shae White. Due to the large interest of girls in this sport, an extra team was added after the start of the season. The D squad which included: Katharine Allen, Giselle Campanaro, Shannon Carlson, Elizabeth Considine, Madeline Cooke, Emma Hardcastle, Alex Malon, Camille Mewett, Anna Morgan, Melissa Sleep and Madeleine Spokes won the majority of their matches easily. We'd like to thank Mrs Smith, Mrs Gainey and Mdme Mirza for all the hard work and effort they put in each week to make '99 a great season of tennis. NAOMI WHITE

1ST I X The Geelong College 1st Softball Team enjoyed a successful 1999 season, with an overall placing of 3rd. Despite a very competitive season the team managed convincing wins against Geelong Grammar (2), Wesley (1) and Carey (2).

Lucy Simmonds

The pitcher and baby of the team was Nicole Paisley, who proved to be a most valuable player, especially against the more competitive teams. Her precise pitching restricted the opposition's scoring opportunities and her strong batting enabled her to score a number of home runs, such as those against Geelong Grammar and Wesley (GW). The catcher (and new member to the team) was Joanne Cox; 1st base Breanne Jackson, provided many moments of entertainment as well as proving to be a reliable team player. Lia Bailey played at short-stop; she too was a new member of the team and new to the game of Softball. Lia's skills and confidence improved significantly throughout the season. Vice captain, Kate Paterson, adapted well to the position of 3rd base; Kate has been a member of the 1st team for two years and I wish her well in her future in Softball. The outfielders consisted of Louise Duff, Christie Fletcher and Lucy Simmonds. On occasions Lucy was the reserve pitcher and she did a great job in this role. All three outfielders proved to be very reliable, taking several spectacular catches. Christie, also new to the sport, showed great enthusiasm with aggressive base running which enabled her to score a number of runs

for the team. Yours truly, the remaining member of the team, played 2nd base. On behalf of the 19991st Softball Team, I would like to thank Mr Harris for his dedication and endless enthusiasm for the team and wish him and future 1st players well for the future. PHILIPPA COLLINS - Captain

2ND IX The 2nds Softball Team completed the season with many successes. The friendships created and the many memorable moments experienced made the season very worthwhile. The team comprised : Jordana Clark, Alison Clyne, Jennifer Selvidge, Kirsten Rose, Jessica Koch, Leah Martella, Sarah Wotherspoon, Alexandra Cherry, Anita Trengrove, and Crystal Webster. Positions were interchanged throughout the season and the team worked well together. The outfielders insured fly balls were caught and ground balls quickly relayed infield, whilst the infielders covered the bases well. Jenny, Kirsten and Alison provided the team with regular home runs. By the end of the season most had shared in this claim. Sarah, Jenny and Jordana provided us with comic relief when things became too serious. On the batters' bench Mrs Tol provided us with words of encouragement and batting strategies. Our thanks go to her for giving us an enjoyable season. ANITA TRENGROVE & CRYSTAL WEBSTER - Co Captains

3RD IX The Geelong College 3rds softball team enjoyed a very successful season despite having only three opportunities to play. These matches were played with a team consisting of Andrea Andersen, Jess Boyd, Emma Dawson, Penny Finch, Julie Hunter, Georgie Lyon, Kim Oxley, Kirsten Rose, Andrea Scott, Olivia Tough and myself. All games played were against Caulfield Grammar (Caulfield and Wheelers Hill campuses), the opening round at the Caulfield Campus, the second at Wheelers Hill and the final round at home on Head of the River day. On all three occasions, the Geelong College side proved too good achieving victories against the opposition. Best players were Olivia Tough, Georgie Lyon and Kirsten Rose who all put in solid efforts this season. Special mention must go to Mrs. Palmer for coaching and organising a successful 3rds softball season.

Girls' 1st VIII - Head of the River Winners

Rosie Bell

BOYS' CAPTAIN OF BOATS The rowing season of 1998/99 of the Geelong College Boatclub started with vigour and recorded some impressive results. The College became the most successful APS coeducational school at the Head of the River, showing yet again how a small student population does not deter us from striving for the highest results. I believe that this sums up the efforts of both the boy and girl rowers this year; from the Year 9 students venturing out of the safe boundaries of the more familiar cricket or tennis to the unknown world of rowing, to the aging Year 12 rowers not returning next year to slip into those tight green, white and blue suits that we all love so much. The season started late last year for most senior crews when we headed to Falls Creek for the pre Christmas rowing camp. Here many crews were finalised and friendships were forged that will last long after the last stroke has been rowed. The summer holidays were then upon us, but before they let us go, many coaches went through long and complex training programs to be followed by all rowers over the break. Soon enough the post Christmas rowing camp was in full swing and the summer slackers were soon found out! The next two months of regattas saw many positive rowing results being recorded. The first regatta was a round robin for all senior crews and proved invaluable as coaches assessed the competition and identified areas of the their crew's racing that needed work. The next regatta was the Victorian State titles and here the boys' 1st VIII placed third and the girls took out the prize of being the best girls' VIII in the State. In March was the Barwon Regatta with most crews either reaching the A final or doing well in the B final. The next regatta saw the junior section compete in a round robin along with the College scullers. The Muckies (the boys' 2nd VIII) won their A Final, whilst other crews gained valuable experience before Head of the River. This was the same weekend as the National Titles in Adelaide where our girls came second, evidence of their dedication to their rowing and their coach Rob Gardiner. The Head of the River came and went in what seemed a matter of seconds. Friday and Saturday March 1999 saw The Geelong College do its self proud throughout all divisions. The 6ths crew managed a second in the A final behind Scotch, but in front of Xavier and Wesley. The 5th VIII found themselves in fourth place in the B final behind Melbourne Grammar, Carey and Brighton, while the 4th VIII fought well in the C final to come away with a win, in front of

Caulfield and Carey. The 3rd boys fought out a great win to take first place in the B final in front of Melbourne Grammar and Xavier and the 2nd VIII managed a third in the A final behind Xavier and Melbourne Grammar. The 1st VIII went into the last regatta drawing Haileybury, Scotch and the National Champions, Xavier College, in the A final. Xavier proved too strong for us on the day, but we managed a creditable second in front of Scotch and Haileybury. The one highlight of the regatta was in the heat on Friday when the 1st VIII recorded the fastest time ever of a College Crew -.4:14.9. Overall the boys were placed fourth and the girls came first, recording the best results for a co-educational school. These great results do not just happen and I would like to thank many people on behalf of the boys. To Mr Payne, thank you for your countless trips to Carrum with the junior boys and to all other coaching staff who dedicate countless hours for your crew's final result, our sincere thanks. To Mr Geoff Forsyth, thank you very much for your organisation and your efforts for the boatclub. To Mrs Karis, for your determination towards any crew in the college colours to do well, we thank you, and, of course, who could forget good old Bob Morse, the College boatman. He carted our boats and gear around the countryside, and fixed endless riggers and keels and anything else we managed to break. Thank you to the parents' support group for your help and effort all year. To the 1st VIII coach, Matt Dingle, I would personally like to acknowledge your hard work to mould us into the crew we became. Your ability to get along with us under all circumstances proved to be one of your great assets. This meant a lot to the crew and I thank you very much for a fun filled and successful season. Of course a big thanks must go to the backbone behind us all, our parents, for the countless hours of travel, early mornings, listening, putting up with our ups and downs, feeding us good food, and most importantly, supporting us all the way. I have enjoyed immensely the privilege of being boys' Captain of Boats. You have been a wonderful group of students to work with. The memories that I will take from rowing will stay with me for many years to come and you should be proud of the efforts that you displayed this year. Good luck to you all for the coming years and no doubt you'll see me around the river in the future supporting College rowing. JAMES COLE - Captain of Boats

Boys' 1st VIII

B O Y S ' 1ST VIII The 1st VIII crew this year consisted of Nick Keays (Bow), Sam Lindquist (2), Andrew Napier (3), Cameron Hart (4), James Boston (5), James Cole (6), James David (7), Tim Allen (Stroke), Andrew Pye (Cox) and Matt Dingle (Coach). November and early December 1998 saw the 1st VIII perform veiy well on the water excelling in longer pieces and swing throughs. The focus of the Falls Creek camp was to build skill and intensity and, of course, stay on track for the ultimate goal of winning the Head of the River. A coach once said "It's not how hard you row, but how well you row hard". That didn't mean there was no fun to be had over the seasonal journey; what counted was that we switched our selves on when in the boat and to an extent, switched ourselves off from rowing when at school or home. Throughout the season we recorded many very impressive results; 3rd in the Victorian Championships being one of note. This placing qualified us for the National Championships, but we stayed home to focus on the real goal, the Head of the River. Going into that big weekend we had beaten all of the APS schools bar Xavier College, who were only about 1/2 a length in front of us. We were very confident and weren't phased by the National champs, and were mentally and physically prepared for the biggest 3 races of our lives. Boys' 1st VIII

Our heat was deemed to be the closest of all with Brighton Grammar School, Geelong Grammar School and Carey to compete against in order to advance to the semis. After blistering starts from Brighton and the other Geelong school, we were in last place, but we were in good rhythm and were hoping that the other schools had rowed too hard in the early stages and would crack. In all seriousness, that race was our veiy best for the season and we were able to mesh as a crew as we had never done before. We were able to move through the other three crews faster that I ever thought possible and crossed the line 3/4 of a length in front of Carey in a College record of 4:14.5, a time that would have won the A final last year. After a very relaxing Friday night at Matt's house, the 1st VIII woke to the headlines 'College Boys Bust From Pack' and went with confidence into a semi final against Melbourne Grammar School, Haileybury and Geelong Grammar. The race plan was the same as the heat- go out fast and get even faster. Geelong Grammar led most of the way but didn't have the depth to hold off our talented crew. In the last 200 metres, we pulled away to a 1/2 length lead, leaving a photo finish to decide the other A final competitor. Haileybury got in over Geelong Grammar. We were the fastest qualifiers and Xavier and Scotch were the other contenders. The time had come to do what no other College crew had done since 1995, line up for the A Final. And we were feeling confident after our last two races that we would be able to knock off the big Xavier crew. It wasn't to be, however, and we crossed the line a veiy honourable 2nd behind the Victorian and Australian Champions. It was a veiy emotional race with many of us in shock that we couldn't beat them and saddened that it was all over. On behalf of the 1st crew for '99 I would sincerely like to thank the following people: Our parents for always being there for us; Matt Dingle for his second to none coaching; Ben Dendle for his hospitality and assistant coaching; Geoff Forsyth for his help with the crew and the decisions it had to make; James Cole for his great leadership; those who had stints in the crew and personally I would like to thank very much Andrew Pye for his truly outstanding coxing. We made many special memories that we will all cherish for life. TIM ALLEN

The 1998/99 rowing season began slowly for the privileged members of the 2nd VIII, more commonly known as the 'Muckies'. Shortly before the annual Falls Creek rowing camp our coach, Geoff Forsyth fell ill. It was a number of weeks before we learnt the Geoff would not be back to coach that season. As a spirited crew we trudged through five weeks with 6 different coaches. The holidays passed and the search was over for our new coach. Richard Murphy was pulled from the archives to dust off a few cobwebs. With only two weeks training as a complete unit it was time for our first regatta. The crew consisting of Lachlan Pearce in bow, Andrew Nelson, Michael Plunkett, Tom Forbes, Luke Kenfield, James Milsom, Cameron Galbraith, Craig Scott, and coxed by Brett Owen, showed just how much we had slumped without a coach. Our first results were appalling, finishing third in one race and last in the other two. With only four weeks until Head of the River we needed some serious training. We moved up to four nights training and Saturday and Sunday. As regattas passed our final placing began to improve until we finally strung three first places together to take the Geelong VRA regatta ahead of Xavier, Scotch and St Kevins.

The big day was approaching and our confidence was building. That final Friday we proved just how good we were, advancing through to the semis in lane 2. We were up against Geelong Grammar, Scotch and Xavier. After a slow start we clawed our way back to second, but were unable to pass Xavier. Finishing second put us in lane 4 for the 'A' final. Unfortunately our season didn't finish as planned. We were relegated to third by the winners Xavier and Melbourne Grammar, but ahead of Carey. Considering all the obstacles in our path the 1998/99 rowing season was a success for The Geelong College 2nd VIII. CRAIG SCOTT - Stroke

B O Y S ' 3 R D VIII The boys' 3rd VIII rowing crew began the season well, with coach Scott Chirnside rebuilding the basis. This served us well at Falls Creek camp, as Andrew Geary (our new coach), continued to build a well disciplined crew. The low point of the season was when David Ellis' knee injury forced him to leave the crew. Aside from having to quit rowing and soccer, it was one of the toughest things to endure, and Dave's strength of character was testimony to that. Despite the loss, the crew progressed well through the regattas with fill in crew members. Marlon Law, although joining late, did his part in helping us to victory in the B Final in Head of the River. The crew consisted of Angus McLean, Philip Naylor, Nicholas Low, Derek Weeks, Aaron Hunt, David Ellis, Scott Jordan, Shane Groom and Louisa Smeeton. The crew would like to thank all their coaches for a great year. SHANE GROOM - Stroke

BOYS* 4 T H VIII From bow seat, the final boys' 4th VIII consisted of Tom Betts, Tim Macauley, Andrew McKenzie, Justin Harding, James Meek, Pat Miller, Adam Kibbis and myself. Coxes were Jenny Abbott and Chris Gingell. Five crew members attended the pre-Christmas camp at Falls Creek, and without a cox or busy coach Matt Sykes, Mr Morris volunteered to temporarily take control. When we returned from the holidays, we still had no cox, and coach Matt Sykes had vanished. Alan Darker and Mr Richard Morris returned from coaching retirement to fill the position. Both sacrificed many hours relentlessly trying to improve our performance and work ethic. Things finally fell into place when we recruited two able coxes -Jenny Abbott and Chris Gingell. Both spent about the same amount of time behind the strings of "Don Butch Mackay". We won our first few regattas, but could not maintain that form due to disruptions in the crew. At short notice and after solid persuasion from Mr Morris, Pat Miller and Tom Betts filled vacant positions. Unfortunately, our early form was not demonstrated at Head of the River, despite much blood, sweat and tears from crew members and our two dedicated coaches. However, we did streak home for a convincing win in our consolation final. Thanks to all the crew and to our able coaches.

B O Y S ' 5 T H VIII The 5th VIII of 1999 was made up of an array of eager, up and coming rowers ready for the relentless season ahead. The prestigious crew consisted of Stewart Hamilton (Bow), Shaun McKenzie (2), Alistair Renick (3), James Hyatt (4), Nick Gilchrist (5), Oscar Stanley (6), Sean Sowerby (7), Charles Gordon (Stroke) and Ben Lannan (Cox). After our debut outing on the mighty Barwon, it was clear that there were some changes to be made. The coach of this floating party, Matthew Rice, went back to the basics and with a mixture of persistence and knowledge we really made that antique boat (The S.P.G.) move. Throughout the season, our progress leading up to the Head Of The River was mind boggling, with consistent placings in the top four and also a first. We were the dark horses on the day. In the lead up to the Head of the River, we adopted the very beautiful Kerrie Sowerby as an assistant coach. A week before the big race James Hyatt tragically fell sick and we had to call on the French recruit Remi Canales to take his place. Our first heat was a close race but our blistering finish was too much for the big Melbourne crews and we were through to the semis. No matter how much spaghetti we ate nothing could prepare us for the finals and we were out classed on the day. A huge thanks has to go to Matthew Rice and Kerrie Sowerby for their dedication to our crew. Although the ending wasn't as planned, this fairy tale season was full of laughter, blisters and memories that we'll all cany through the winter into the next rowing season. Season 2000.

GIRLS' CAPTAIN OF BOATS In 1999 The Geelong College was placed as the best performing girl's school and best overall coeducational school after our performance at Head of the River. The 1st VIII had the titles of State Champions and Head of the River Champions. The 5th IV were undefeated for the entire season and the Year 9 1st IV managed to change from a quad skull to a sweep boat within a week and still were able to gain 2nd place at Head of the River. These were only some of the excellent results achieved throughout the 1998/99 rowing season. The senior crews started their season at the conclusion of Speech Day 1998. It saw them in a bus heading to the empty town of Falls Creek for the now 1st VIII throwing Cox Juliette Jenner into the Barwon after winning the HoR yearly rowing camp. We saw a variety of activities undertaken during this five-day period with varying degrees of success. Three physical activities a day seemed to be the plans of the coaches. Out the front by 7.00am for the trek down to the lake by bike, foot or bus every morning for our first row. Back for breakfast. Then perhaps to a bike ride, a run up to the summit, lunch, somewhere in between an ergo, another row, a swim, a spa, a run or perhaps a famous crew meeting. We returned from Falls Creek for the summer holidays, but with APS rules, we were unable to train as crews. Therefore, we took charge of our own fitness development over the break, returning 5 weeks later for the post-Christmas rowing camp on the Barwon, Seniors and Juniors together. Sharing the banks with Haileybury, Wesley and Brighton proved to be a difficult task at Lucy Mills

times, but we battled through as we had other things to worry about. Due to the lack of rain, the Barwon was covered with bluegreen algae, as had been the case in previous years and the tipping of the 'Maggie' seems to have become an annual event. At the end of that week, it proved to be worthwhile with noticeable improvements achieved in all girls' crews. We were then into the serious stuff - three or more nights a week and Saturday training on top of school and homework. For few of us, this was a new experience, but others again took up the challenge of committing themselves for what we knew was going to be an arduous task. The Year 9 girls had a fantastic season with great results recorded throughout the Barwon, VRA, Head of the Schoolgirls' and Head of the River regattas. The Year 9 1st IV broke new ground in the College's first quad skull and then in the last week changed to a sweep boat for Head of the River where they led for the first 800 metres before falling into second place. The 2nds recorded many first and second places along with the 3rd and 4th crews. The popularity of rowing among the Year 9s meant we had eight crews racing - one of them as a Year 10 5th IV. All of the crews had their share of personal success. We should have a strong Year 10 squad next year. The Year 10 girls' performances improved every regatta throughout the 1998/1999 season. The 1st and 2nd IVs went through many changes with seats, coaches and coxes, making the season a difficult one. However, this did not dishearten them. The VRA Regatta saw both crews 2nd in the 'A' final, with improvements of up to 2.5 lengths. Although no crew managed a first place there were many 2nd places recorded and much experience gained for what will be next year's senior crews. The senior 6th IV performed well considering they had a member in their crew new to rowing. They found their form in the VRA Regatta gaining a 2nd in the 'A' final. The senior 5th IV saw a great season, with wins of up to 7 lengths, their closest race being a win of 2 lengths. They finished undefeated, taking out both Head of the Schoolgirls' and Head of the River Champions in their division with a new course record. The senior 2nd VIII, a new addition to the APS boat clubs this year, took the place of the 3rd and 4th IVs from past years. This crew saw change mid season with the loss of a member to a knee injury. Throughout the season they competed in few regattas because of the lack of other schools changing to 2nd VIIIs and therefore finding themselves constantly against Geelong Grammar, taking it in turns to gain victory and suffer defeat. The 1st VIII, consisting of Sophie Farrow, Liz Ryan, Sophie Halsall, Georgie Allen, Jane Butler, Vanessa Hall, Rosie Bell, Lucy Mills and coxed by Juliette Jenner, had a fantastic season. Various titles were obtained with few bonuses along the way such as a trip

Girls'2nd VIII

to Adelaide and an oar to take home. They became State Champions, silver medallists at the National Championships, and champions at the Head of the River regatta. Their Head of the River victory broke Geelong Grammar's five-year hold on the trophy. The Head of the River race was to be a desperate battle between two excellent crews and it would be the most courageous that won. These girls won the trophy in a great race, for which we all congratulate them wholeheartedly. The girls' rowing season has been a memorable one and the strength of the Boat Club was outstanding throughout the entire season. There were times when we questioned why we were rowing when we crawled out of bed at 5.30 am. for those early rows or when we had too much homework or when we just simply weren't in the mood for rowing. There were times when there was so much tension between coaches that we wondered why they bothered. However, when it all comes down to it, we, as College rowers, are a force to be reckoned with. We do not give up easily and while we started our season as individuals, by the end of the year, we had learned to work together as one, becoming a crew and in turn a Club. I wish all rowers, Junior and Senior, good luck for next year. We would love the Head of River trophy to stay within our Boat Club. I hope that all Year 12s can think back over the highs and lows experienced throughout the past seasons and keep fond memories of their time with The Geelong College Boat Club. On behalf of the girls I'd like to thank Mr Geoff Forsyth, Head of Rowing; Mrs Karis, Head of Girls' Rowing; Mr Bob Morse, our boatman, all coaches and in particular, our parents for their understanding of the commitment that rowers have. I would also like to thank Vanessa for her support as Vice-Captain, James, and Ben as the Boys' Captain and Vice-Captain respectively. We can't forget the Rowing Parents' Support Group, their sausage cooking expertise on Saturdays and their help in the organisation of 'Rowboata', it was greatly appreciated.

the National Titles in March. Without great success in our heat or semi final, we found ourselves in lane 1 for the National final, as the fifth fastest qualifiers, beside local rival Geelong Grammar. We went into the race with a "nothing to lose" attitude. A new race plan paid off as the crew rowed perfectly to cross the line second, three quarters of a length behind the Friends' girls, who only two days earlier had beaten us by three lengths, one length ahead of Geelong Grammar back in fourth place. The Head of the Schoolgirls weekend saw terrible conditions with continuous rain. We were not coping well with the favourites' tag and the expectation to beat the pale blue. At the end of a great race we crossed the line second to Grammar by three-quarters of a length. This defeat, along with a particular photo in the Geelong Advertiser, made us more determined than ever to win the one that mattered most, the Head of the River. We went into the race as the underdogs, a tag with which we were more comfortable, deciding we had "nothing to lose". Another new race plan saw us in front through the first 500m. With the lead changing several times in the second 500m, it was anyone's race. Our determination not to be the bridesmaids again, lifted our rating and went straight through Grammar, causing them to have a near shipwreck. We crossed the line first, three quarters of a length in front of the pale blue, reversing the result of the previous weekend. We had ended Grammar's six-year reign at the top of Girl's rowing and brought the cup back to College. Not only had we won, but we had rowed our best race of the season. By the end of this race we had achieved so much more than we ever dreamt possible:- The State Champions, National Silver Medallists and Head of the River Champions. The crew consisted of Sophie Farrow (bow), Elizabeth Ryan (2), Sophie Halsall (3), Georgie Allen (4), Jane Butler (5), Vanessa Hall (6), Rosie Bell (7), Lucy Mills (stroke), Juliette Jenner (cox) and Rob Gardiner coach. On behalf of the 1st VIII, I would first like to thank our fantastic coach Rob Gardiner. Without his dedication and support we would not have achieved any of the success we did. Thank you also to Mrs Karis, Head of Girls Rowing, who was a great motivator throughout the season, Mr Forsyth, The College Boat Club and the parents support club, and last of all to our parents who put up with our moods and were tireless taxi drivers. I wish all College rowers good luck in the future and hope some of you will experience winning HOR as well. LUCY MILLS-Stroke

G I R L S ' 1ST VIII For the 1st girls' VIII, 1999 would have to be one of the most successful seasons in history. Once again the competition for the eight seats in the boat was extremely tough, the crew not being finalised until the pre Christmas rowing camp at Falls Creek. Here were the foundations for what was to be a terrific season as the crew started to bond and row as one. Our success started in February with a win at the State Titles in Nagambie over MLC and Lauriston by three lengths. With this effort the crew booked themselves seats on a flight to Adelaide for Girls' 4th IV - Joanne McCartney, Julie Fryman, Ellie Young (Coach), Alicia Woolley, Jennifer Rowe, Emily Seward

G I R L S ' 2 N D VIII The 1998 / 99 season started with some changes to the crews. A girls' 2nd VIII was formed and because the VIII was newly formed, we were handed an old wooden boat. This however, didn't suit as we wanted to row with a bit more style, so after a hard fight with the boys' 5th, we eventually won the 'Paul Sheahan'. We were set now to row in style. The tandem rigged girls' 2nd VIII consisted of Sarah Chapman (bow), Ellise Roberts (2), Janet Lang (3), Danni Teasdale (4), Sophie Ayerbe (5), Amy Nail (6), Amy Walker (7), Lucy Paton (stroke) and Angela Hamilton (cox). This crew performed in our final race at the Head of River after various seat change and crew changes during the season. We started off the season well winning many of the earlier regattas, but unfortunately we were always striving hard to keep ahead with Grammar beside us all the way. We finally came third in the Head of School Girls' race and ended the season with a second in Head of River. We were happy with our results considering the boat was rowed by eight completely different girls. Everyone had an enjoyable season with the early training and weights sessions and training after school. A big thank you must go to Ken for supplying us with the goo, (glucoden), heart rate monitors and drink bottles all season. He has been a terrific coach, and must be commended for putting up with all our mood swings through the whole season. I would also like to thank Betty Ann for that wonderful slice she supplied to us every week, Brian for a great boat driving effort, Penny Ladd, our 10th member of the crew, all the parents and supporters and Mrs Hamilton and Ang for the quality 'GOOD' crew shirts. Thanks again to Ken and good luck to the girls who have the privilege of rowing in his crew next year. LUCY PATON - Stroke

GIRLS' 6TH IV

managed some pleasing results for 1999. One of our highlights was coming 2nd in the A final in a VRA Barwon regatta towards the end of the season. At the Head of the River we were rowing in the division above our correct one, but we proved too strong for Geelong Grammar who were also rowing in the higher division, defeating them by a good length. A lowlight however, was the many crew changes that we had to overcome throughout the season. This proved to be challenging, but ultimately contributed to what we got out of rowing. We learned to work together as a crew and to realise that winning was not everything, but having a good row was important and to be happy with what we achieved. Our crew consisted of our newly appointed bow, Sarah Roache who only started rowing 4 weeks before the Head of the River; 2 Seat was Tess Whittakers; 3 Seat, the baby of our crew from Year 10, Sarah Patterson; and our experienced stroke, Charlotte Weddell. The crew was coxed by Suzie Cartledge. Thanks must go to Murray Johns who provided us with many helpful hints and inspirational pre-race talks. He played a major part in helping us get over the many hurdles we faced and should share our success. SUZIE CARTLEDGE - Cox

Y E A R 1 0 G I R L S ' 1STS A N D 2 N D S The APS decision to expand the Head of the River Regatta to include some junior crews saw the Year 10 1st and 2nd IVs compete in the full program for the first time. They had battled bravely against stiff competition the week before at the Head of the Schoolgirls, and both crews were prepared to give everything in their last races of the season. The success brought to the club by the Senior Girls' crews throughout Term 1, had filled the boat shed with anticipation, and as the Head of the River drew closer, the College girls grew more determined to make the day theirs. The delineation between crews fell away as the weekend progressed. On Saturday, when the Year 10 3rd IV and half of the Year 9 crews joined the regatta, it was uplifting to watch as members of the 1st VIII stood on the bank to cheer for the most junior of our crews. Broadening the program proved a great success; the boat club was full all weekend with girls and boys from Year 9 to 12 who had worked hard both with and against one another throughout the summer. War cries sounded and bounced off the balloons, streamers and stars that filled the sheds with green, white and blue. While the first two Year 10 crews fell to a stronger field, few at the river could have outdone their fervent support of the club. I have a feeling I will be seeing most of them racing again next season. DANIELLE KARIS - Head of Girls' Rowing

The 1999 Ski Team had over sixty competing students ranging from Years 4 to 12. Even more parents and family were involved this year which helped ensure a great feeling and atmosphere created amongst The Geelong College team in the lead up gatherings and the Interschool event. Early in Term 3 an introductory dry-land training session was held for all at the Prep. School. With videos, guest speakers, demonstrations and a delicious BBQ, the night turned out to be quite a success. A few weeks before the event itself, a training day was held at Mt Buller in August. Each participant was able to develop their skills to high standards and get the taste of competing in gates and courses. For some this was a new aspect to skiing and the training day seemed well worth while. In late August the weekend had finally arrived for all the senior students to travel up the mountain. There was the opportunity to have a free ski and meet for the enjoyable annual team dinner held at the ABOM. The opening ceremony saw the schools' parade at night onto the slopes with music, fireworks and the all new night time boarder cross final. Jamie Richards qualified to represent College in the final. An unfortunate collision in his final heat saw him knocked out of the competition at this point. The senior students were blessed with beautiful weather, shining sun, not a cloud, not a breath of wind, and a nice cover of snow. This weather continued through the Boys' and Girls' Division 1 and 2 Snowboarding and the Boys' and Girls' Division 1 Alpine on Tuesday. Persistent rain and fog set in for the rest of the week. This meant that all the Moguls events and junior racing were held in unpleasant conditions for competitors and spectators alike. This did not deter all those wonderful parents who endured the weather to watch their children's teams make their way down a wet, but still icy course. Despite the conditions all team members should be pleased with their results. Everybody did their best in the conditions prevailing and, I hope, had a fun time as well. Although we did not bring a truck load of medals back down the mountain to Geelong, some outstanding individual and team results where achieved. In the Junior Alpine divisions the Division 4 boys were ranked a pleasing 21st out of 37, with Louis Jasek placing 29th. The Division 3 and 2 girls all did well, and the Division 3 boys consisting of seven keen competitors showed the competition they meant business, placing the school proudly. Tom Law finished high in the Alpine ranking and was also our only junior Moguls competitor, coming a well deserved 48th. The juniors made a strong impression on the snowboarding course with the Division 3 boys achieving 14th place. The seniors, in their final years, competed enthusiastically to

do their school proud. The Division 2 boys came in a creditable 21st in a field of 40 with Jack Perry in at 23rd. Eight Division 2 girls competed, with one of the teams placed well at 30th. The Division 1 boys were led by Marlon Law whose fantastic 10th in the Alpine event was supported by good results by his team members. They finished 16th in the strong field of 26 schools. The girls went out there in hope to make it down the course in one piece. Everyone successfully did! The team was placed 28th, with Jane McMillan storming in at 34th pipping Sophie Farrow (35th) at the post by 15 hundredths of a second. Roxy Green's 3rd place in the Division 2 Moguls gave us our only team member up on the dais this year. An unfortunate gear failure saw her bow out of the Alpine event, for which she was a hot favourite. In the Snowboarding, our girls' Division 2 team were placed 12th, led by Susannah Fairley. In Division 2 boys', we were well represented and the team came 29th, with an outstanding 25th to Jamie Richards. Division 1 saw Rebecca Richards coming individually an excellent 19th and in the boys' competition, Troy Doak and Duncan Hallihan put College down for 15th overall. This year the event was a great success and, with much young talent in the team, I wish the all the competitors the very best for the coming years of competition. Congratulations to everybody for their great efforts and good luck for next year. A big thank you must go to Mr Hibbard, Mr Torpey, Ms Utting and all the parents and teachers for making this fun couple of days possible for the students. SOPHIE FARROW - Captain Ben Doak

2NDS

The 1999 1st Netball team entered the APS season with the challenge of repeating last year's premiership victory. This task began early in the season with a pre-season camp in the Western District, playing two Heytesbury teams.

This winter proved a sensationally successful season for the Geelong College 2nd VII netball girls, as we managed to win all of our games for the season except two. The 2nd VII was a high spirited and colourful bunch of girls consisting of: Lucy Mills (who was unfortunately injured for the second half of the season); Jane McMillan, who always went out with all guns firing; the "Interception Queen", Amy Young; "Commando-Roller" Renee Butterworth; Anna Fitzpatrick, who always brightened our early mornings; the ever enthusiastic Jo Silcock; the long armed Sarah Roache and "Mum", Genevieve Claringbold. Once we got in the right frame of mind and began thinking positively, nothing could stop us from whipping the ball from centre-court to the circle and popping a shot in. Position swapping occurred with past defenders becoming shooters and centre court players taking up defence. However, it was never a problem, as long as we got a game. All players put in 100% each Saturday. Thanks must go to our very committed scorer Emma Thomas, who never failed to cheer from the side-lines and, most importantly, to Ms Utting who was such a great coach, always encouraging and providing us with enthusiastic support which inevitably led us to such a successful season.

Although this year the back-to-back premiership could not be achieved, the newly dubbed "G-Girls" were always determined and never gave up against the stronger, more experienced teams. A highlight in the season was, however, winning the Kardinia Park Al grade competition. Jordana Clark

Jordana Clark and Olivia Tough, the younger girls in the team, played strongly and improved immensely throughout the season to form a solid defence. Emily Haylock also helped form the defence and although some would think she would be more suited to playing footy, Em showed throughout the whole season that she was an extremely valuable player. The centre court was consistently outstanding with Christie Fletcher and Leigh Matheson always playing at an excellent standard. Sarah Johnstone was also a vital element in the team, unfortunately succumbing to an injury towards end of the season. Pip Collins, the full time goal shooter, was always reliable when shooting, and, very often, her flukish goals were an amazement. Although the premiership could not be repeated, the 3rd place that we gained this year was a tribute to the enthusiasm of all the girls. The fun and achievements that we shared would not have been possible without the valuable encouragement and instruction of Mrs O'Loughlin who inspired us with her unwavering optimism and motivation.

GENEVIEVE CLARINGBOLD - Captain

INTERMEDIATE A This year the Intermediate A team was made up of 8 Year 10 girls. They were Katrina Dennis, Alice Wettenhall, Georgie Dawson, Jane Hayden, Brydie Meek, Alice Hill, Penny Carah and Claudia Muhor. All members showed a high level of skill and were consistent throughout the season, with the team recording wins against all but three teams. We had a tough game against Caulfield, unfortunately losing by one goal in the closing minutes. Although lacking in height and coming up against much taller teams, our girls showed spirit and enthusiasm, which in most cases paid off with a win. Thanks must go to Mrs Porter for her coaching and making it an enjoyable and successful season of netball. Emily Haylock

INTERMEDIATE B Wow, what a terrific season for the Intermediate B netballers! The team, consisting of Philippa Hayden, Lisa Gray, Tessa Fitzpatrick, Tina Reilly, Sophie Whittakers, Sally Kemp, Veronica Milsom and Charlotte O'Loughlin, finished the season undefeated on top of the A.P.S. Intermediate B ladder. The team spirit stayed high all season, on and off the court, and the commitment from everybody was excellent. The team finished an encouraging third in our pool at the Victorian SchoolGirls' Championships. Finally, I must thank our coaches Mrs Lannan and Mrs Porter for a very enjoyable and productive season.

K A R D I N I A PARK 1999 was once again a successful season for Kardinia Park netballers. This year saw 14 College teams entered in the Senior competition; 10 made it through to the finals and 5 teams participated in Grand Finals. With College teams making up 40% of the competition, inevitably some teams had to play each other. This only added to the fun and competitive spirit that all girls experienced throughout the season. Congratulations must go to Year 12 team 'Black' and Year 9 teams 'Navy' and 'Pink' who took our their division premierships and to Year 10s 'Gold' and 'Peach' who were runners-up. Special mention also to Melissa Sleep and Meg Torpey who won Best and Fairest in their divisions. Thanks must go to all coaches for their dedication and support and also to all teachers who assisted during the season especially Ms Palmer, who coordinated the Kardinia Park competition. Well done to all teams who participated this year and best of luck to those who will compete in 2000. MS J UTTING - Head of Girls' Sport

Badminton B O Y S ' 1STS & 2 N D S 1999 saw Geelong College compete in APS badminton for the first time, with the lsts playing in the 3rds' competition. This team consisted of David Coghill, Guaran Chan, and Jacques De Richebourg and myself. The 2nds played in the Mhs' competition with a team that consisted of Harya Narrotama, Alvin Tan, David Winship, and Robert Chakir. The Geelong College 1st IV boys had a very successful debut season in the APS, most weeks playing against competition that failed to match us in talent and determination. The first round was disappointing, however, as our enthusiastic teams went down to a much more experienced Wesley. But after the learning curve of round one, the College would go on to win four of their next five matches, the only blemish being at the hands of badminton powerhouse Geelong Grammar. Over time we found our preferred playing positions and doubles combinations, but our winning form was mainly due to our singles' success. All players notched up regular singles victories

but unfortunately this form seemed to elude us in the doubles form of the game. This was certainly not the case, however, in our last game of the year, where we defeated Brighton Grammar 7-0. This was our best performance for the year. The 2nds' season was also very successful, finishing with 3 wins and 3 losses. I would like to thank Mr Clifford for his fine efforts in coaching us, and look forward to seeing the rise of College badminton in the future. MICHAEL JOHNSTON - Captain

GIRLS' O P E N A & B College fielded APS Girls Badminton teams for the first time in 1999, entering 2 teams in the Open section. Matches played were of a very high standard, and both teams enjoyed the season very much. Open A At first the girls found the standard of play daunting, but they trained hard over the season and, with constant match play, by the latter half of the season they had become very competitive. Although the team did not win any matches overall, individual players won singles and doubles rubbers, as their level of skill rapidly improved. Regular players in the A team were Elizabeth Gavelin, Candice Holt, Jenny Patchett and Bronwen Rose, and they received Half Colours in badminton. Others who played were Kayo Takado, Jessica Scoullar, Ajeng Pitaloka, Holly White and Phelia Grimwade. OpenB In the first few matches of the season, the B girls were overwhelmed by opponents with much more match play experience. However, they trained hard, and soon became competitive. Although they did not win matches, points were earned through wins in singles and doubles matches, and by the end of the season, match results had become much closer. Regular players were Holly White, Ajeng Pitaluka, Jessica Scoullar, Emma Hardcastle and Phelia Grimwade. Melissa Sleep also participated. MRS J COGHILL -Coach

1ST XI

2ND XI

The 1998/99 cricket season was one in which the 1st XI felt every emotion possible. From the exhilarating highs we received from victories to the devastating lows we felt from all too familiar close defeats. Without these four close defeats, there could be a totally different story, a story possibly containing premiership glory. However, as someone without the same competitive nature as our team once said, "That's the way the cookie crumbles". Throughout the season there were glimpses of utter brilliance and these are the times I would like to focus on. Like the day we accumulated 227 against Brighton Grammar followed by a flawless display in the field, bowling them out for a paltry 76 and in round ten, when we accounted for premiership contenders Haileybury by 75 runs. There was also individual excellence. Nick Casboult's stubbornness with the bat and his uncanny ability to claim important wickets at crucial stages of a match, or Jon Hildebrand's capability to keep his head down at all times. There was also the coming of age of Thomas Fallaw, not only as a great fast bowler, but also as one of the most contentious players in the APS. Despite this reputation, he is a great team man, quick with a joke on the bus or a sympathetic word for a disappointed teammate. Two players formed the backbone of our team, James Polkinghorne and Vice Captain, Alistair Munro. The improvement of James' overall game has been due to hard work, not only behind the stumps, but also with the bat, averaging an impressive 32. His determination has been displayed often, in many rescue efforts. Alistair, on the

The 2nd XVIII had a mixed season with some good performances with the bat by Tom Butler, Warwick Lamb, Ted Fitzgerald and Sandy Waters. Bowling was done well by Simon Wetherell, Sam Willett, Ted Fitzgerald, and Ben Collyer. The results for the season were 4 matches won, 3 lost and 4 no result. The coach was poor in his inability to prevent rain on Friday evenings!

other hand, seems to play with a certain air of calmness, but despite this, it is obvious he has a sharp competitive edge. In the rare times Alistair was unable to play at his usual best, the team also struggled, such was his influence. Averaging 30, including two half centuries and claiming 18 wickets, along with a five wicket haul, he has clearly been the stand out performer. Finally, I would like to thank our coach Mr Gilby. He has instilled a level of determination and discipline that has not been seen in College cricket for years. As well as doing this, he has been able to relate exceptionally well with the players, a necessity in a great coach. Being only his first year in the position and hopefully with plenty of years still to come at The Geelong College, players can feel confident that cricket within the school is heading in a positive direction. STEVEN MORGAN - Captain

The 1998-1999 team consisted of Edward Fitzgerald (Captain), Jacob Spalding, Warwick Lamb, Dean Elliot, Simon Wetherell, Sandy Waters, Anthony Ross, Sam Willett, Tom Butler, Richard Drummond, Sam Parsons, Chris Gingell, James Bell, Ben Collyer and James Christensen. MR B CLARK - Coach

3RD XI Christopher Reichl (Captain), Matthew Grant (Vice-Captain) The 3rd cricket team was chosen from: Christopher Reichl, Matthew Grant, Ryan Hutchinson, Thomas Kaye, James Cameron, Aaron Perry, Vangeli Babiolakis, Timothy Black, James Christensen, Nicholas Tischler, Gareth Donald, Immanuel Barbour, Armand Setiawan, Samuel Willett. Overall performance for the 1998 -1999 season: An improvement was noticed from Term 4, 1998 season. There were some strong and committed performances, despite some disappointing outcomes. The team was successful in the majority of games, with the best performance against Haileybury at Keysborough, with a consistent effort by all team members. Matthew Grant (25) and Tom Kaye (26 not out), in particular, batted well on that occasion Bowling strengths were from Samuel Willett, Tom Kaye and Christopher Reichl. Batting strengths were from Samuel Willett, Matthew Grant, and Timothy Black MR A THOMAS-Coach

YEAR 10 A The season of 1999 was a season of opportunities for the 10 As, with some of them being taken whilst others were wasted. In the end the team won 3 matches and lost 5, with many of these losses being very well fought out. Throughout the season Jack Eastman, Mark Macgugan, Richard Butler, Ash Freind, Steve Parker and Tim Callan performed well with the bat. We also had a very strong attack with the ball. This was led by

We had a great year together and learnt many new aspects to the game. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr Wood and David Lanyon for helping us through the season.

Our batting did show flashes of brilliance with notable performances from Thomas Pasco (211 runs- highest score 61*) Josh Comer (179 runs- highest score 50*) and Daniel Curtis (138 runs- highest score 49).

TIM CALLAN - Captain

YEAR 9A Inconsistent batting performances meant 1999 was one of mixed fortunes for the 9A cricket team. We started the year with three fine victories and our expectations were high because there were some excellent personal efforts with the bat and ball and some superb team performances as well. The one run victory over Melbourne Grammar was an early season highlight, along with Rohan Kux's blinder of a catch against Ballarat Grammar. Rohan continued to remind us about this for the rest of the year and the degree of difficulty and athleticism increased with each retelling. Unfortunately our spectacular early season form deserted us and we suffered six defeats on end before we arrested the slide by beating Brighton Grammar in the last match of the year. Four wins from ten outings was a paltry return for a season which promised so much. Despite the disappointment of losing we all remained determined, enthusiastic and we had a great time thanks to Mr. Claringbold our (exasperated) coach.

On behalf of the team I would like to thank our coach Mr. Claringbold for his support and guidance throughout the year and the support from our parents, especially Mr Bernie Cummins and Mr Dennis Comer. SAM CUMMINS - Co-Captain

B O Y S ' ISTS 1999 was the first time in College history that the 1st boys' basketball team was entered into the APS competition. In our first year we proved ourselves to be very competitive. Despite early narrow losses in our first few games against Xavier, Carey and Wesley, we started to play as a team which resulted in two convincing wins against Haileybury and Scotch. These wins greatly boosted the team's confidence and saw the large influx of new team members settle into their respective positions. Our sole Year 10 player, Tim Nail, added much needed height and strength to the side as starting centre. Anthony Ross and Fergus Weber gave their all whilst on the court, showing the spirit and determination that is to be expected of College sporting sides. Charles Hunter and James Cox provided range from outside the arch, while Cam Rae, Cam Galbraith and James Milsom slotted into forward positions where they consistently crashed the boards, making an extremely valuable contribution to the team. A thrilling one-point win against St Kevin's had the rest of the competition worrying just how good this College side was and also positioned us as real title contenders. Unfortunately, we hit a massive form slump causing us to lose too many games, consequently bowing out of the title race. However, most of these losses were only by small margins. We entered our final game of the season against Haileybury with a depleted side. Although we could not repeat our winning performance against them earlier in the season, we managed to stick with them for most of the game. On reflection, I believe we played some of the best basketball of the season that day. We

showed a tremendous strength of heart and all players should be proud of their efforts throughout the entire season. I would like to thank Mr Alan McKee who, in his second year as the 1st coach, was instrumental in the team's surprisingly impressive performance. May College basketball flourish in the APS competition for years to come! SIMON ROBERTSON & MICHAEL PLUNKETT - Co-Captains

BOYS' 2NDS All basketballers enjoyed a healthy start to the season with a training camp held in the gym over 3 days. From this camp the 2nd basketball team was selected, and (with a change here and there) the successful and exuberant team consisted of James Cox, Daniel Cross, Ade Utama, Vangelis Babiolakis, Richard Green, Nick Low and myself. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate the success of our team throughout the season at about 6.5, due to a few injuries and other problems. Our coach, Alan McKee, should be thanked for providing us with ever helpful advice in the tougher games. Mr John Nail also helped out in a few games, providing us with the fruits of his great experience. The team improved immensely and ended up looking like a well structured, hard to beat basketball team. JAMES MILSOM - Captain

BOYS' 3 R D S The boys' 3rd basketball team has exceeded its expectations this year by actually winning some games, and more incredibly, winning the Grand Final. The team struggled for form at the beginning of the season as players were interchanged between the 3rds and 4ths. Finally a team was finalised and it consisted of Jeremy Loomes, Charles Hunter, Thomas Kaye, Brad Giblin, Tim Hodgson and David Libby. Despite the frequent inability of team members to attend training, we were able to reach the Grand Final with considerable ease. This was thanks to the coaching genius known as Craig O'Brien. Jeremy Loomes proved to be the bane of our opponents as he consistently played unstoppable defence inside. He was awarded 'Most Valuable Player' for the season. It was an exciting season, with everyone pitching in and doing his best every game.

BOYS' INTERMEDIATE A The Inter As enjoyed an extremely successful first season in the APS competition. We finished with a record of five wins and four loses in the APS Inter first division making us the most successful College basketball team. We displayed great improvement through the course of the season and showed good determination to get over the line in the close matches. This included a 2 point win against Melbourne Grammar coming from 8 points down in the final minute to snatch victory. Oscar Stanley, Tom Butters, Michael Golding, Daniel Merrigan, Jonathon Friend and Steve Pettigrove formed the basis of a strong team with fantastic contributions coming from Austin Hall and James Friend. Many thanks to Mr Gallus and Brook for coaching us and to all those who supported us.

GIRLS' ISTS

1999 was a great year for the 10B team, not because we won many games (because we didn't), but it was a year of vast improvement for many of us. The team consisted of Josh Comer, Martin Kumnick, Jamie Ross, Ryan Albrecht, Austin Hall, Tom Ross, Stephen Jones, Robert Clyne, and Ross Williams. Jeremy Holder and James Friend also played for part of the season. Josh and Austin, our 'little' men, handled the ball, and Austin scored at least 10 points every game. James Friend (another ballhandler) played so well he ended playing half the season with the A side. Robert was our big man and scored well at the end of the season. He, Ryan and Jamie worked hard and did most of the rebounding. Steve Jones only played a few games due to his busy golfing schedule; Ross Williams and Jeremy were late additions to the side and put in good efforts; Martin Kumnick won games with buzzer shots, and Tom Ross, the humble forward and your writer, scored pretty well but was out for a while with 'skateboard' injuries. Overall the season was a learning experience for everyone involved, and on behalf of the whole team, I'd like to thank Mr Gallus and Ms Roberts for making us work hard every week.

1999 was an extremely enjoyable season for girls' basketball at The College. This began during the first school holidays when the male and female basketballers spent two days together improving skills and fitness in anticipation of the coming season. When the season commenced the College had three girls teams, these being the Ists, the 2nds, and the Intermediates. After some coaching shuffles and the arrival of a new Coach for the Ists, the season started with strong teams in all sections of the competition. The 1st team saw the reunion of many from the strong Intermediate team of 1997, with some very valuable additions to the team. The team consisted of Jess Koch, who was unfortunately injured after only a few games, Lucy Simmonds, Kim Oxley, Kate Seward, Breanne Jackson, Kathleen O'Brien, Claire Simmonds, Amy Nail and Janet Lang. Although the results for the first half of the season were disheartening, we continued to aspire to defeat our strong opposition.

In this match the team continued the fine form they had shown throughout the season, and more than doubled the opposition's score. Players in the finals were Ryan Albrecht, Jonathon Friend, Michael Golding, Martin Kumnick, Paul Mahoney, Andrew Sheahan, Oscar Stanley and Levi Turner. Nick Spolding and John Warn also played some matches during the season.

Basketball After four losses of less than six points we were able to win two of our last three games to end the season well. These two wins were the highlight of the season; the first one being against Grammar who had beaten us by a small margin at the beginning of the season. This gave us confidence in our playing and brought the team together. The second was against Wesley, coming back from nine points down with five minutes on the clock and ending with Kathleen O'Brien sinking a shot and Amy Nail blocking the final shot on the buzzer to leave us ahead by one point. Our sincere thanks go to the 1st coach, Noel Vamsey, who displayed tolerance and patience on early morning bus trips to Melbourne and evening training when anyone else would have run for cover. He taught us how to play as a team and encouraged us all to achieve our best. We would also like to thank the Basketball Parents' Support Group for their assistance throughout the season.

the only players in the team with any basketball experience, we all knew that the season was going to be a long learning process. Despite our best efforts we had not won a game till the second last round against Ivanhoe, this was a great win for the team, highlighting our improvement. Learning the game with our experienced players were Kate Willett, Stacey Lancaster, Jessica Boyd, Libby Considine, Philippa Farr and Anna Morgan, most of whom had never played a game of basketball before. All of the girls learned many new skills as the season went on, none of this would have ever happened without the persistence of THE COACH, Mr Carroll. PHILLIPPA FARR & CLAIRE SIMMONDS

GIRLS' 2 N D S The girls' 2nds basketball team brought together a group of girls from various sporting backgrounds. This made for very interesting, but not veiy successful games early in the season. We enjoyed our training however, and learnt a great deal in a very short time. Our skills and teamwork improved quickly and we won most of our games in the second half of the season. The team consisted of Leanne Ryan, Sarah Weber, Anita Trengrove, Ajeng Pitaloka, Crystal Webster and Melinda Sullivan. We would like to thank Mr Wood for what was an entertaining and enjoyable season. SARAH WEBER

Fencing Fencing in 1999 has seen some highs and lows for all members of The Geelong College Fencing Team. At the start of the school year The Geelong College Under 20 team competed in the School Teams' State Titles. The team, consisting of Harya Narottama, Nathan Missen, William Dolley and myself, firstly competed in the Under 20 teams' Sabre competition. This event turned out to be a walkover for the College team, taking the Sabre trophy for the ninth consecutive year. However, this performance was not continued into the foil event. The College team, after a pleasing first round of fencing, lost to a stronger Melbourne High School team 5 bouts to 4. This placed us third behind Geelong Grammar and Melbourne High. This third placing did however qualify the team to go to National Titles during the second term school holidays. With only two of the four fencers in the team, William and myself, veterans of the national competition, we were expecting some fierce competition. After a gruelling day of fencing, we found our team placed 5th, and individually, William placed 13th and I came 6th. With both Harya and I leaving the school this year, eyes must be turned to the new fencers coming up through the sport in the College. These new fencers look to be promising and hopefully some pleasing results will be recorded next year. Finally, as must be done every year, the fencing team and I would like to give our heartfelt thanks to our coach, Neil Hick. He has been a solid rock throughout the year and has supported the team and its members through good times and bad. His experience and coaching abilities have been much appreciated and valued by myself and the team. Thank you. QUINTON SUNG - Captain

Swimming for The Geelong College has not been exceedingly successful this season, however I doubt there were many teams in the APS Summer Sports 1999 that had as much fun as we did. Swimming for College in 2000 will bring in an entirely new team with the new Recreation Centre. We are lucky to have many very talented swimmers who are coming up the ranks, including the super 'dream team' consisting of Julia Torpey, Kathleen O'Brien, Alice Hill and Claire Wood, who never failed to annihilate all opposition in their U/16 Freestyle and Medley Relays. Many Prep. School girls will also make a big difference to the team next year with Natasha Cluley-Bolsin, Sarah Hill and Chloe Noble all contributing greatly to the few wins we had this season. In the Open Girls' Mandy McDonald swam extremely well, especially in backstroke, and Emma Thomas always amazed us with her low freestyle times. Katie Leishman, Megan Ellis and Kate O'Donnell all had a successful season competing in diving, and were always enthusiastic to swim in various relay teams. Stefanie Deeath streamlined the pool beautifully in all her breast stroke events, whilst Sophie Whittakers powered through the pool gaining significant placings each meet. Nick Braun swam sensationally this season in all events, with Andrew Buckis and Nick McDonald competing well for the boys. The All Girls End of Season APS meet at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre proved successful with College coming in third place behind Caulfield and Wesley. The support from all spectators was greatly appreciated. Thanks must go to Mrs Porter and Mrs Mitchell for being a wonderful help all year and giving never ending support in what must be a very challenging job. Sincere thanks goes to our coach Adam Beckworth who takes a lot of time out of his day to come to training.

GIRLS Having come to the end of the 1999 athletics season we can look back and say we have seen another outstanding and successful year for the College girls squad. Despite the limited number of girls in the U17 age group, we were strengthened this year by a large and very talented Year 9 group who are sure to lead the way in the future. A larger Prep school squad was also a positive factor for the team. The early part of the season was marked by kind weather and good numbers at training. We were able to enter our largest ever squad in the Victorian Relays Championships and finished second to Caulfield in the aggregate points score. Nine teams reached the finals and three gold medals and two bronze medals were won. Later in Term 3, the U14 and U16 girls teams were victorious in the Victorian Schools Knockout competition against teams from all over the state. After holiday training at Landy Field for those who stayed in Geelong, the final two Melbourne meetings showed our potential

against the other APS schools and Toorak College, who joined the competition this year. I will remember the 1999 APS Sports for many years to come. The spirit shown by our squad was fantastic. As has become typical of our recent athletics teams, the College girls competed with confidence and determination, even when we were twenty points behind Caulfield half way through the morning. In a strong Open age group, Lucy Mills ran well to place second in her 800m and 400m events and joined Marie Sinclair, Rosie Bell and Georgie Clarke in the 4 x 400m relay to achieve an exciting victory. Lucy should be congratulated on an outstanding seven years of service to College athletics. We were lucky to have nine Year 12 girls in the athletics team this year and their leadership was very important. Janey Gwyther was third in the 100m against tough opposition, showed courage in her hurdles and was part of the 4 x 100m team including the consistent Melinda Cooke and long jumper Rosie Bell. Emily Haylock placed second in both the triple and high jumps and Jane Butler and Amy Nail were second in the teams'

and especially Mr Ryan and Mr Parkes. Without their continued efforts, we would not have achieved such success. A big thank you must go also to the Parents' Support Group who has assisted in many areas this year. Their encouragement has meant a great deal to the whole team. Finally, I would like to thank all the girls in the squad, especially the two vice captains Lucy Mills and Janey Gwyther, for making my final year of College athletics one to remember. I wish the College team the best of luck for the future. | SARAH JOHNSTONE - Captain of Athletics Sarah Johnstone has represented Geelong College for four years in APS athletics and holds two individual and three relay School Records in sprint events. She is also an accomplished long jumper. After an exceptional 1998 season, she had to deal with illness and injury in her preparation this year. Sarah showed a positive example to all team members in her determination to represent the school and she achieved a courageous win in the Open 200m at the Combined Sports.

Stephanie Burton

shot put. Rowena Nuenhoffer and U16 athlete Tessa Fitzpatrick made good contributions in the 1500m. Sophie Halsall was unfortunate to sustain an injury in the last week of the season and was unable to compete. In the U17 age group U16 athlete Clara Davies ran another inspirational 800m race to win and Kathleen O'Brien and Georgie Thomson finished second in the teams' shot put. Alex McLeod, Alanna Lyon, Sally Kemp, Veronica Milsom, Madeleine Spokes, Lucy Simms, Philippa Hayden, Lucinda Halsall and Sophie Nelson competed out of their age groups and deserve special mention. Geelong College dominated the U16 age group, winning eleven of the thirteen events. Tina Reilly took out the 100m and the triple jump and went on to set a new APS record in the long jump. The star of the team Georgie Clarke effortlessly won the 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m, slashing the old APS 800m record by ten seconds and the APS 1500m record by twenty three. Brydie Meek and Lucy Forbes won the teams' shot put and Belinda Holt was third in the high jump. Year 8 athlete Sophie Nelson performed admirably in her six events winning the U15 200m, 400m and the U16 hurdles. Second places were achieved by Sally Kemp and Alanna Lyon and Philippa Farr was third in the shot put. The U15 relay team were clear winners and good team efforts came from Charlotte O'Loughlin and Sophie Whittakers. Impressive Prep school performances included a first and two second places from Stephanie Burton, seconds by Natasha Cluley-Bolsin, Cara Jilich and Sarah Schofield and strong middle distance running from Kirsten Ulmer (two third places). Now that the Challenge Cup is in College hands for another year, I would like to thank all of the coaches who were so dedicated and supportive this year. These included Rhiannon Bourke, Gavin O'Shea, Adam Beckworth, Bruce Scriven, Greg Lochhead, Haami Williams, Mark Williamson and Staff coaches Mr Jeffreys, Mr McCallum, Mr Roberts, Mr Clark, Mr Cochrane, Mr Curnow, Mrs Filling, Mrs Fulton, Mr Hamilton, Mr Harris, Mr Montgomery, Mr Young, Mr Zoch Sophie Nelson

MR T PARKES - Teacher in Charge of Athletics

BOYS Although Geelong College finished eleventh in the boys' competition this year, the team was impressive in its spirit and support for each other. A strong group of Year 9 students joined the squad, we scored more points than in 1998 and many athletes achieved personal bests on APS day. The Combined Sports were made difficult for me due to the fact I was unable to run, but watching my teammates compete and seeing the determination they showed made this year's competition memorable. APS athletics for the Geelong College boys is not based on beating the bigger schools but about doing our best. It was good to see U15 athletes like Wade Byrnes, Matt Boehm, Alex Burton, Sam Watson and Tom Brushfield improve during the season. Nick Wightman and Joshua Comer trained and competed consistently and on APS day Nick showed courage to finish seventh in the 800m and fifth in the 1500m. Joshua recorded two excellent times in the 100m and 200m and has the potential to develop in the future. We should also acknowledge the efforts of Year 8 athletes Joel Bartlett, Peter Dennis, Ben Donald, Tim Hope-Johnstone and Jo McCarty, who stepped up to senior competition for the first time. The U16 age group saw standout performances from James Hope-Johnstone and Michael Mackenzie. After a strong seventh in the 100m, James ran his fastest 200m to finish a fine third. Michael improved each week during the season and recorded two fourth places (both personal bests) in the 800m and 1500m. Michael and James then combined with Matt Torney and Nick Betts to run an exciting 4 x 400m relay. Good team contributions came from Nick Black, Peter David, Will Dolley, Tom Butters and David GilbertKent. Richard Jeremiah was the star in the U17 age group with an easy win in the 800m. He then stepped up an age group to run the opening leg of the Open 4 x 800m relay. After only eight minutes rest, Richie ran the U17 1500m in which he finished third. Other notable U17 performances came from Nick Bridges (seventh in the hurdles), Stewart Hamilton (sixth in the high jump) and Dean Elliott in the long and triple jumps. Shaun McKenzie worked hard for the team in a number of events and Roshan Khozouei, Nick Guyett and Tim Griffiths made progress during the season. The highlights in the Open age group came from the middle distance squad, with Tim Clarke winning the 1500m and 3000m Georgie Clarke, Claire Wood

double and setting two new school records. Tim's incredible determination was also shown in his thrilling anchor leg of the 4 x 800m relay. The other team members were Richard Jeremiah, Matt Goldsworthy, and Jamie Bell, whose third leg was vital to the team's win. At the end of the day, Geelong College had scored more points in middle distance events than any of the other APS schools. Other noteworthy Open results were Matt Goldsworthy's fifth in the 400m, Tom Fallaw's seventh in the high jump and Dean Elliot's effort in the hurdles. Year 12 athletes Andrew Napier and Nick Keays and Jacob Luca and Ben Collyer from Year 11 made significant contributions to the team. High jumper Tim Allen started the season brilliantly but an unfortunate injury saw him miss the APS Sports.

Clara Davies

Congratulations to the girls for bringing back the trophy to the school again and thanks must go to all the coaches who this season, like every other, have given a tremendous amount of effort and support to all competitors: Rhiannon Bourke, Gavin O'Shea, Bruce Scriven, Greg Lochhead, Haami Williams, Mark Williamson, Mr Jeffreys, Mr McCallum, Mr Roberts, Mr Clark, Mr Clifford, Mr Cochrane, Mr Curnow, Mrs Filling,

Mrs Fulton, Mr Hamilton, Mr Harris, Mr Montgomery, Mrs Tol, Mr Young, and especially Mr Ryan and Mr Parkes for their organisation and promotion of athletics at Geelong College. Also a big thank you to my Vice-Captain Matt Goldsworthy and to our Parents Support Group for their help this year. I hope that future College teams maintain the spirit and determination shown by the 1999 squad. JAMES BOSTON - Captain James Boston was the leading sprinter in the APS in 1996 and 1998, setting a new U17 APS record in the 100m and four School records.(He missed 1997 because of injury.) His early season performances in 1999 included a Gold Medal and School record in the 4 x 400m at the Victorian Relays Championships (with Richard Jeremiah, Jamie Bell, Matt Goldsworthy and Tim Clarke). A leg injury two weeks before the Combined Sports meant that he could not represent College in the sprints, but he showed great determination to compete in the Open shot put and achieve a personal best in finishing sixth. James encouraged younger athletes and provided a fine example in his training and competitive spirit. MR T PARKES - Teacher in Charge of Athletics

Staff Farewells BAS CLARK Prologue The following essay was written by Cameron Knott, who was Dux of The Geelong College in 1995 and who is currently studying medicine at the University of Melbourne. This piece was one of three wonderful pieces in Cameron's Year 12 Writing Folio (CAT 2). I kept it, perhaps knowing one day I'd be asked to do the impossible and write a farewell that would do justice to J.Sebastan Clark. The Maths Teacher He ambles curiously, restlessly, around the Gothic cloisters of this attractive, but like him, somewhat deteriorated school. His mobile office is a chaotic cache of dog-eared pages and wellthumbed ancient textbooks, liberally caked with chalk dust, hugged tightly, stuffed precariously, under the armpit of his wellworn sports coat. The swaggering, pensive gait is counterpointed by the gentle zip-zip-zip of familiar corduroy pants that seem to have been initially purchased for a hulk ten times larger than his own slight, wiry frame. The all-pervasive chalk dust residue lightly sprinkles the fine, red and white pinstriped shirt, complete with ink stains, and the thick grey Berber-look jacket, incompetently patched at bygone elbows with glossy khaki vinyl pads. The shabby, rollicking appearance puts the onlooker in mind of a badlygroomed, clever, but scatter-brained cocker spaniel-cross, marking out, patrolling his territory, quickly forgetting what he has claimed. After playfully bailing up two unsuspecting, hapless ninth graders with a gentle punch from one of his encoded, cryptic quips, he proceeds with his lazy promenade, amazingly, to the correct mathematics classroom, leaving the poor children mystified and agog at the vanishing enigma. Upon setting foot in his classroom, whose walls and high rafters are an evolutionary museum for all manner of projectiles, the flushed face, flecked with iridescent, port red capillaries, poorly camouflaged by the wiry, curly, black hair and unkempt beard dappled with grey, comes alive, in eager anticipation of the mystifying, magical mathematics ahead. Waiting for no-one and ignoring all the facetious comments and mock adulation directed at him, he streaks purposefully towards the uncleaned blackboard, selects a fresh piece of chalk with his stubby, sturdy fingers and proceeds to fill the entire wall with a complex mathematical proof, stopping only momentarily to smudge and remove an erroneous computation with his finger or to trace a minor peripheral calculation in the grime on the blackboard. After five minutes of frenetic scribbling he stands back, chalk significantly diminished, admiring his work like an art critic admiring the nuances and subtleties of a Michelangelo ceiling. Mathematics is, in the words of Robert Bolt, "his cross, his solace, his hobby", and it speaks to him in his favourite cadences. Mathematics, a world not fully entered into by most ordinary people, is this man's domain, his entire universe. A cosmos of imaginary numbers, vectors, tensors and chaos theory mean to this man what football means to an avid Carlton supporter (which he also is). He lives breathes and eats mathematics. His eccentric, genius presence in the classroom inspires awe in some of his students and complete mystification in others. His classroom antics are something rare to behold. He is like a mad nuclear physicist teaching basic arithmetic or like Shakespeare teaching limericks. It is probably impossible for him to know the ponderous workings of others' minds, such is his modesty: he assumes that all are of his ilk. The reservoir of such volumes of knowledge leaks into the classroom as he becomes

bored with the current topic and proposes, for casual conjecture, the manic question, "How many angels can fit on a pin head?" The shocked, disbelieving rictus on each student's face slowly subsides as the bell marks the end of another complex, fascinating, enriching lesson, in which some were left by the wayside at the very start of his inarticulate ramblings. Many, eager to be out of his presence, rush desperately for the door as he calls out the chapters * of the textbook he wants completed for homework. Others remain behind just to talk to this unusual man, trying to communicate with a person whose mind, in all probability, is light years away. After all the undue attention, he runs his chalky hands through his hair, smearing his forehead, scattering his papers everywhere and begins to dream of theories few mere mortals would ever voluntarily comprehend. The end of the day allows Mr Clark the opportunity to board the Melbourne train, scholarly tome in hand. While others giggle, chatter, or read newspapers he will devour Proust or Gibbon or be completely lost in the works of Hawking and Newton. This is his daily chance to pay homage to his way of life in his mind-built shrine of numbers. Epilogue Few teachers would ask for a more fitting 'eulogy' than Cameron's words but tradition dictates and history demands that more mundane 'facts' must be recorded. Bas Clark commenced his time as an educator at the Geelong College in 1985 as Head of Mathematics, a position he held until 1990. He has taught, he claims "50 +" different courses in his vast teaching career (age cannot wither him nor custom stale his infinite variety) including Specialist Maths, Maths Methods, Junior Maths, Australian Studies, Personal Development, History and English! Bas has also been an unquenchable font of wisdom for other staff, assisting in numerous Drama productions (and overacting outrageously in two) and has been visiting lecturer and expert in Literature, History and International Studies classrooms to name a few of his tangential experiences. Bas' reading, as Cameron noted, is rigorous and eclectic. He has edited and added to such notable works as Manning Clark's History of Australia and even played that other Clark in a television movie where the director (unlike anyone else) actually managed to keep him in line. Bas has never to my knowledge refused a request for help from a student or colleague. Should you need a class, yard duty or sporting team covered Bas will throw himself 'once more into the breach'. He has been a wonderful support to friends and colleagues in times of tribulation. His concept of loyalty and morality is profoundly applied on a daily basis. Overseas students, for instance, have found an understanding friend in Bas. Though none of us has ever understood the cryptic postcards, he has 'anonymously' sent us from overseas. Bas does what is right in his terms no matter the personal cost, which like his rare intelligence is wonderful role modelling for students (though as Cameron suggests sartorial splendour might be better modelled elsewhere). His example of selfless goodness and unashamed individuality will be sorely missed. Perhaps what I admire most in Bas is his ability to make play of work, and this is what has won him allegiance from his students (even legendary status). Teaching delights him. I can think of no one else who will leave his Melbourne home in the darkness at 5:30am on a Saturday morning, travel to Geelong get on a bus with a cricket team and end the day's saga at 7:30 pm having endured the Melbourne road

Bas Clark

x 4 and not complain. Indeed Bas will have enjoyed the day. Bas will 'take away' not only our thanks with him but the love and admiration of thousands of students and a directly proportional fraction of teaching staff. He is one of those very rare individuals who will leave an unfillable gap (particularly inside his pigeonhole). Like a great poem, a first reading of Bas will leave huge gaps of understanding but those with the wit to persist will later discover startling bursts of revelation. How dull College will be for me without the daily task of decoding JSC. CAMERON KNOTT AND MRS J GAINEY

CRAIG C O N S I D I N E Craig Considine

Beverley Dickie

Craig was appointed to the Physical Education department in 1984. He came to the College with an impressive sporting history as an elite athlete. In 1976 and 1977 he was awarded Victorian Junior Athlete of the Year as well as playing VFL Reserve Grade football with the Collingwood Football Club. He competed internationally with Victorian athletic teams and in 1977 became the British Under 20 Discus Champion as well as the Victorian and Australian Junior Discus Champion. In the late seventies he was Runner- Up in the Victorian Decathlon Title and represented Australia in the Commonwealth games in Edmonton in 1978. In 1979, he played First 18 football with both the Collingwood and Richmond Football Clubs. Many of us were unaware of Craig's high achievements. Craig carried this excellence to his teaching and coaching roles at College. He has taught Geography, Australian Studies and VCE Physical Education. He was Head of Keith House, Head of Mackie boys' boarding house, Head of Physical Education, Head of Boys' Sport, Head of Sport as well as being the College's APS delegate. Craig has moved to Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston as Head of Boarding. We wish Craig, his wife Penny and children Lucy, Tom, Jane, and Phoebe the very best for the future.

BEVERLEY DICKIE

Maxine Driscoll

Sheran Fisher

Bev Dickie's fifteen years of service at The Geelong College began in 1984, when she was appointed as a French teacher at the Preparatory School. She was immediately appointed to the position of French Co-ordinator, a position she held for 5 years. During her first year, Bev oversaw the introduction of French into two Primary classes. The remaining primary classes began French the following year. This was a large undertaking and required visits to schools in Melbourne and much planning. By 1987, French was compulsory at all levels of the Preparatory School. Bev also taught History, Social Science and English to Years 7 and 8. Bev spent a number of years as a Homeroom Teacher or Tutor and was very approachable and caring towards her students. She served on Staff Development Committees and a School Council Sub-Committee which investigated the possibility of introducing the International Baccelaureat. She also assisted with the Preparatory School Choir and was involved in the sport program as the coach of tennis and netball teams. Bev's facility with the conventions of written English has seen her act as proof-reader for various school publications. Bev was known on the Preparatory School Staff for her wit, her warmth and her integrity and she has acted as 'Bard' on many occasions, penning verses for every situation. A number of staff and students have been recipients of her sense of humour and she will be greatly missed. Bev has spent 1999 teaching English in Taiwan with her husband Barrie and has decided to retire from the Preparatory School in order to pursue other interests. We wish her

well as she embarks on this latest phase of her life.

JENNY WASHINGTON Jenny Washington's particular area of expertise is in Environmental Science and she has educated both staff and students at the Prep. School about concerns relating to native vegetation and animals. The work on the proposed Ecology Centre has benefited enormously from Jenny's zealous follow-up of funding opportunities and contacts in the wider community. To support student interest Jenny organised and ran an After School Environment Club. Her assistance with planting the many small trees and plants along the western ridge boundary of the school was another of her significant contributions to our Environment Centre. In a demanding array of Science and Maths teaching Jenny has shown great fortitude in meeting the needs of students' academic programs while also working in the co-curricular area of hockey and taking part in the Year 8 Auscamp. We wish Jenny happy times as she leaves the Prep to once again take up the role as a parent of a new baby.

MAXINE DRISCOLL Maxine Driscoll captures many of the attributes that mark a great teacher: a deep love of learning, an enthusiasm for life that keeps her bubbling all day long and a fine sensitivity to the precious moments that mark our times at school. Maxine began her work at College as the Campbell House Literature Specialist and her involvement with books made library classes fun and a very satisfying learning experience. She has a great love of literature and she carried on the tremendous dedication to books which is a feature of Campbell House. Children came to the library wearing boardshorts when reading 'Barrington's boardshorts', they ate mustard sandwiches when they read 'The lighthouse keeper's lunch' and learnt how to bake bacon and egg pies when they read 'Don't forget the bacon'. Her involvement in the biennial Campbell House production saw Maxine's thespian talents flower, even if she was typecast as the witch!. Dressed as Meanie Miser in 'Trois fois passera' Maxine almost stole the show as she sailed across the stage in a flowing black cape, huge green glasses and long black fingernails. Her evil, penetrating cackle was the stuff of nightmares! The early morning netball competitions at Kardinia courts can be a chilly experience in the depths of winter, yet Maxine always turned up full of warm cheer and enthusiasm and encouraged her team of Pumas and Panthers to strive hard and to play to the best of their ability. It has been a special feature of Maxine's teaching that she has always worked to acknowledge every child in her care. Mindful of the different rates of development, her sensitivity to the individual needs of the students has been her hallmark. The notion of children having 'multiple intelligences' as articulated by the Harvard professor Howard Gardner has been of special interest to Maxine over the past years. She has worked as Primary Coordinator to not only attend to the traditional abilities which children display in the Maths/Science and Humanities but also to develop curriculum which enhances the growth of 'intelligences' associated with visual/spatial, social and body awareness. Maxine's teaching style has earned her the respect and gratitude of her colleagues and of the parents of the College. The parents nominated her for the NEiTA award in 1997. Maxine was highly successful in her presentations and succeeded in reaching

the State Finalist level. Her ability at communicating with people was recognised by the College and she became a Loaned Executive for the United Way appeal in 1998. In this capacity she visited Geelong workplaces and encouraged people to donate a portion of their income to the Geelong charity. Her success as a leader in the role of the Primary Coordinator was followed by a term spent as acting Deputy-Head in Term 3 of 1999. She skilfully took up the reins of this demanding position and also decided to apply for the role of Head of the Junior School at Kardinia College. In the midst of the busiest time, during which Maxine was preparing to step out of her 'acting' role and prepare herself for a very adventurous journey in Europe she received notification that she had been offered the position at Kardinia. Maxine's excitement was shared by all of her friends and colleagues at the Prep School. We wish her a rich experience as she steps into the Headship, knowing that it will be filled with fun and satisfaction for her, the students and for her staff. AMANDA SWANEY

S H E R A N FISHER Mrs Sheran Fisher leaves Geelong College at the end of this year to take up the position of Careers Coordinator at Geelong Grammar. Sheran has spent the past 15 years at the College in charge of careers during which time she has been responsible for advising students on matters relating to careers and for organising the work experience program currently in Year 10. This very important component of the Year 10 program has been maintained through Sheran's considerable involvement in the Geelong Career Teachers network and her liaison with local businesses and industry, including many owned or operated by ex-collegians. Year 10 students undertake this program with little understanding of the considerable amount of time and effort devoted to ensuring that its objectives are achieved. Her other very important role has been as careers adviser to students who, in their final years at school, have sought assistance with career options, subject choice in VCE, tertiary courses and accommodation at tertiary institutions, including those in other states. As one can imagine, with the growth over past years in the number of courses offered by Universities and TAFE institutions, it has been an enormous task keeping pace with the changes (and the pre-requisite studies) in the courses offered by the many institutions. It is to Sheran's credit that she has managed to keep abreast of these changes, and has always been willing to counsel students and parents on the options that are available. Many a student would have missed out a tertiary course but for the work she has undertaken to find an acceptable course of study beyond school. The regular maintenance of contacts through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) have enabled her to seek out options that a student, acting alone, would have little hope of finding. She has also worked with students who have left school prior to the completion of their VCE studies to ensure that they are fully aware of the options available to them through work, part-time study and apprenticeships. One of Sheran's more recent innovations has been to establish a Careers evening open to College senior students where ex-collegians now in the workforce make themselves available to discuss careers, tertiary courses and their experiences since leaving school. In addition to benefiting those seeking information on career direction, it has been important in establishing and maintaining links between the College and its former students. We wish Sheran every success in her venture and thank her

sincerely for her efforts on behalf of staff, students and their parents.

JAN G A R D N E R It is with great regret that we are forced to reflect upon the career of Jan Gardner. Jan has been dedicating her life to students for just on twenty years, the last five of them here, at The Geelong College. Before gracing us with her skills and dedication, Jan had developed her professional qualities at Geelong Grammar, North < Geelong High School and Morongo. It was at the latter that Jan professes to have been at her happiest, adopting the role of teacher, mentor and friend to many girls who were privileged to have been in her charge. It was also at Morongo that Jan honed her teaching of History, specialising in Revolutions, at which she has proven herself supreme. The College should consider itself to have been fortunate indeed to have inherited Jan with the demise of Morongo. She has always been meticulous in her preparation for each year, willing to expend much energy and time in assisting young minds to wrestle with the problematic nature of History as an academic study. So it has been that many young minds have been privileged to benefit from Jan's commitment to academic rigour. But her dedication to each and every student, including those who might have struggled at times, marks Jan as worthy of due public recognition for those special, often indefinable qualities of a true professional. Jan always seemed convinced that success was there for anybody, and that with just the right amount of encouragement, even those who found the journey difficult at times, might surpass even their individual expectations. Colleagues will miss the quiet, yet cheery chats which emphasised Jan's sense of the broader collegiate environment, ever so important in this modern, hectic world, and too often neglected for its perceived triviality. But it is this very quality which demonstrated Jan's humanity, for if we cannot at times focus on the trivial, but instead look entirely to our pedagogical side, our communication loses its sparkle. Yet, Jan was a vigorous debater when it came to matters related to her knowledge and nuances of History. She has always open to new ideas, new strategies, new perceptions, willing to learn from external intellectual sources, and eager to share all of this with colleagues and her students, but Jan was not prepared to compromise her professional integrity, as one would expect of a true professional. On behalf of the History Department, and others in the College who had the privilege of knowing Jan well, it should be known that Jan will be sorely missed as a colleague, friend, willing adviser, good listener, and as a committed professional

Jan Gardner

May Jan and husband, Rob's retirement to the country estate in Seymour bring them both the happiness they deserve. With the miracle of e-mail, I trust that we may keep in contact. Goodbye and good luck, Jan. Thanks for all you have done for the College. ALAN THOMAS

MARILYN KEOGH Marilyn Keogh will be leaving The Geelong College to take up a position at Ballarat and Clarendon College at the beginning of the New Year. Marilyn came to The Geelong College from Sydney where she studied for her Bachelor of Music, and later Canberra where she had taught. Upon her appointment to College, she quickly set about the task of establishing a String Orchestra at Senior School

Marilyn Keogh

and laid the foundation for The Geelong College Symphony Orchestra.

Marion Lambert

Marilyn has been instrumental in developing the string program at Campbell House and she has seen the progress of many fine violinists through the school, many of who have gone on to study music at tertiary level. Ms. Keogh has been at the College for twelve years and has done a wonderful job in establishing a string program throughout the school. The standard of the String Orchestra at Senior School gives testament to the fine work she has done throughout the school over the years. The members of the music department will sadly miss Ms. Keogh. The position at Ballarat will offer Marilyn many new challenges and we wish her well in her new endeavour.

M A R I O N LAMBERT

Bert Phillips

Roger Salen

A love of intellectual challenge is apparent from when you first meet Marion Lambert. Her intense concentration and delight in debate mean she is formidably equipped to respond to challenging issues. There are many of these in education and Marion in her indomitable fashion has had a 'tilt at most windmills' over the years that she has been at the College. She is passionate about issues she believes in and leaves one in no doubt about her stance! Her friends and colleagues have long admired her and sought her wise counsel on a myriad of matters. Marion began teaching at the College in 1987 and the following year was appointed as Coordinator of Special Education at the Prep School. In 1990 her talents were recognised in her appointment as the Coordinator of Curriculum and Staff Development. In many ways this was an ideal appointment for Marion. She wrestled with ideas and practices related to teaching methodology, she created supportive environments for the staff and she reformed administrative structures. Marion's warm embrace of every staff member and her acceptance of their ideas was a key feature in her success as an administrator. She believed having fun was a key element in maintaining staff morale. Her love of parties meant that the Prep School staff met socially on many occasions: sometimes to celebrate an event such as the Melbourne Cup; other times, as at her cheese and port nights, for discussion on key educational issues. Just as importantly she worked with students whose weaknesses slowed them in the academic program. Many students owe an enormous debt to Mrs Lambert for helping him or her overcome a specific learning difficulty or to catch up on basics missed in earlier years. Her technique with the Year 8s was uncompromising - 'You've got to learn this, here are some ways that it can be achieved. Now let's work together to get there!' Those to most recently benefit from Marion's interest and work have been the staff and students at Campbell House. In 1999 she was welcomed as the Special Needs teacher to work with Preps to Year 3s. Further recognition of her breadth of experience in Special Education followed with her acceptance of the role of Coordinator of Policy for the Talented and Gifted throughout the School (P-12). Marion is a magnificent educator and we lose a true friend with her departure. But knowing Marion, we can also understand the relish with which she moves into a new school, for it will have a whole new set of educational challenges for her to work on.

JULIE MOLLOY Julie's keen sense of humour and dedicated work with the 3 year old children in 1998 and in the 5 year old room in Term 1 of

1999 was a particular feature of her work. Her thoroughness and commitment were evident throughout her short time in the Early Learning Centre and her generous sharing of the Information Technology knowledge with all the staff who worked with her was greatly appreciated. Although we shall miss her, we understand the need to stay home and be a parent to her beautiful daughter Charlotte. ANDREE FITZGERALD

BERT PHILIPS Bert has been the Accountant at the College for 24 years and leaves us at the end of this year to enjoy the next stage of his life in retirement. Bert was appointed to his position by Mr Bruce Jamieson in 1976 and worked with him for some 13 years. During this time he acquired a detailed knowledge of the administration and accounting functions of the school which has proved invaluable to succeeding Bursars. He has controlled the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll and General Ledger functions of the General Office and has dealt with many queries from students, staff, parents and suppliers. Bert's daughters, Julie (87) and Susan (89) were students at the College. Bert has also contributed to the co-curricular activities of the College being a member of the School's Orchestra and Stage Band where he played the trombone for many years. He also helped staff on excursions to Cradle Mountain, New Zealand and the Snowy Mountains. As Bert leaves, we wish him well as he continues his trekking in outback Australia and enjoys the rewards of being a grandparent. MR B STEWART - Bursar

ROGER SALEN Roger Salen first took up a position with The Geelong College in January 1968, having been hired by the then Principal, Mr Peter Thwaites. He was a trained electrical engineer and a recent immigrant from England although he had worked for some time in South Australia. Naturally, his training in Science and Mathematics made it singularly appropriate that he be assigned to coach swimming. It should also be mentioned that he also taught Physics and Science and did the odd spot of boarding house duty, and no doubt many students from College will remember him in these roles. It was the advent of the language laboratory that propelled him in the direction of master of everything electronic. His aptitude with electrical equipment from this point onward saw him called upon to arrange suitable sound equipment at the College sports and other outdoor functions, and to install microphones and stage lighting at various stage productions. He was always ready to restore the function of many pieces of electrical gadgetry for everyone from rowers to video makers in English classes, and he was an invaluable member of the library team. Possibly no teacher at College was so intimately linked with so much of what happened on campus, and possibly no teacher was more organised or reliable in the performance of so many varied tasks. His students in Physics remember him for unorthodox ways, and his humour, and his fellow members of staff remember him for his capability and his creative spirit, as well as for his endless supply of anecdotes and puns. At the end of Term 2, Roger embarked on the next stage of his life - retirement. His influence will linger - his presence is already being missed. MICHAEL WHITTLE
