Calvert had many enjoyable and fulfilling events in 2016. These began with House Music where Calvert performed 'Count on Me' by Bruno Mars, whilst the small group captivated the audience with a rendition of 'That's What's Up', by Lennon and Maisy. This group combined the musical talents of Alex Blight, Noah Nicholas, Angela Morris, Amelia Patrick, Brianna Perry and with a huge contribution from Molly Russell over the years.

In Swimming, McArthur unfortunately narrowly vanquished Calvert, but Brayden Allen was Year 12 boys' age champion.

With great tenacity, Calvert endeavoured to redeem itself by winning Hockey. The girls' basketball team winning the grand final over Coles, finally achieved success. The boys also gave their all, winning through to the finals, but were defeated by a three-pointer on the buzzer. This massive effort would not have been possible without the talents of Jordy Dow, Grant Philpott, Ethan Braslis and Matt Synoradzki. After being victorious for the past two years in cross-country, Calvert attempted to reach the magic number, but narrowly missed.

The Prefects, Gus, Noah, James, Emma, Jala and Angela, lifted Calvert's spirits through the highs and lows, and remained united throughout. Calvert ultimately shows that individually we are one drop, but together, we have the power of an ocean.

Massive congratulations go to Suzie Baxter for taking out the House Arts competition with her "Ornithopter". House Rowing towards the end of the year was led fiercely by Flynn Vernon and Emily Hall who contributed to us taking out second place overall and getting very close to first. All of this success would not have been possible without the many athletes in the house such as Dougal McKindlay who played 1st cricket, Connie Potts who was Vice-captain of Soccer and our resident fencer, Aidan Symons.

For community service Calvert held a barbecue on a Friday lunchtime to raise funds for Uniting Care Geelong. This was a huge success - the sausages sold in an instant as everyone was rushing to get in first.

All of the successes and joy would not have been possible without the guidance and wisdom of our Head of House, Ms Palmer. On behalf of the entire House we would like to sincerely thank Ms. Palmer for all of her hard work as Calvert Head of House. Ms Palmer will forever have an impact on the life and culture of Calvert, and will be sorely missed.

We would also like to thank the tutors, Mrs Foley (Year 9), Mr Taylor and Ms Shen (Year 10), Mr Morgan (Year 11) and Mr Jess (Year 12) for all of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. On behalf of all Year 12s, we will miss Calvert House and the warm environment that became our home over the past four years. To next year's Calverteers, we wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your time in the mighty Maroon House!

Term 1 saw us working alongside the reliable, sometimes dry, dad-joke filled Mr Conway, and with a fresh and optimistic group of Prefects, Phoebe Cunningham, Emma Furphy, Jordan O'Leary and Charles Blond, the light blue house seemed to be in good hands. With the addition of the fresh faced Year 9s 2016 promised to be a good final year for us on which to end our time at school. The Houseroom had also been painted and decorated over the summer and the new vibe was evident to all.

After a lively finish to 2015, the 2016 Year 12 group took a stand early and said that it was time for us to get back on the winners' list. This was shut down quickly with a 7th place in House Music and an 8th in Swimming, the two most important house events. Rest assured, we came 3rd in House Debating.

We weren't completely down in Term 1 due to the beginning and birth of @tgccoles, which, under the guidance of Instagram legend lccoxy, quickly became The Geelong College's favourite Instagram account, peaking at around 140 followers.

Term 2 brought House Cross-Country and a strong performance from across the House, saw a respectable top four finish. We were dominant in Netball but went down by a goal in the Grand Final. Charlie Blond ably led House Football, but Keith, who went on to win the whole event, knocked us out in the first round. Basketball provided us with plenty of highlights both for the boys and girls. The boys were one Jordan O'Leary three-point basket away from a memorable "come from behind" victory in the final. The girls Soccer team however, won the final and brought home the donuts providing a glimmer of joy through the winter months.

The final whole House athletics saw Coles place strongly and so, the future of the House is in good hands. The barbeque fundraiser on the day fed the masses and raised over $400 for World Vision.

On behalf of the Year 12 Coles cohort we would like to thank the tutors of this wonderful House: Mr Clifford, Mrs Porter, Mr Morris, and Mr Hodge for their amazing contribution to Coles and their smiley faces each morning whilst marking the roll. Of course, a massive thank you must go to our own Year 12 tutor, Mrs Hynes. It is fair to say you have been a school mother to each and every one of us over the past four years and we thank you for the uplifting attitude that you bring us every day.

We must not forget the engine room of the house, Mr Conway, whose laid-back attitude will always be remembered. A special thanks goes to him for putting up with us for the past four years devoting countless hours into making our school lives as smooth as possible.

Finally, to the current Year 12s: we would like to wish you the best of luck in your upcoming exams. Thank you for what has been a memorable and entertaining four years. We have enjoyed some unforgettable moments and made lifelong friends.

As reigning premiers from the spectacular season of 2015, the members of Keith were "nervous but excited" for the challenge that 2016 presented. The year began with the senior members of the House being introduced to a compatible class of Year 9 students and everything looked like it was lining up for another stellar year of Keith Love.

The year began with swimming and a strong effort was exhibited by Keith in the pool with Izzy Greer winning her Age Championship and super fish Grace Harris coming away with the same award. Attention was then quickly steered towards House music: here a symphonic rendition of the hit song 'Faded' by our small group was supported by our whole House choir with the Aussie cult classic 'Beds are Burning' by Midnight Oil. This managed to gain Keith a podium finish of 2nd place. The dynamic duo of the McQuinn sisters alongside the stimulating saxophonist Rory Vagg; Lara Adams on vocals; Iona Bulford and the Padanyi family band all combined to create the best Small Group performance of the day.

Wins in House Cricket and Football, as well as mesmerising efforts in Art, Debating, Soccer, Softball, Futsal, Badminton, Basketball, Netball, Tennis, Hockey and a half court stunner from Dayne Jackson in House Water Polo, have culminated into a dominant ranking for Keith. It has often been the work of family links which have led to mighty performances for the House: the Greer sisters worked in harmony on the sporting fields, the Glover boys and Conway brothers tore up the football field, the Morwood brothers' did impressive work in cricket whilst the two Year 9 Harris siblings put in astounding performances overall.

For the Year 12s the end of year marks the end of a golden era.

Since Year 9 the development of Keith Love amongst its now senior members has been astronomical. From the dark days of being the underdog House in Year 9 to the apogee of Cronk glory for the first time in the history of the House in 2015, the current cohort of Year 12s has always given their all for the House.

Congratulations to all House members on their outstanding fundraising efforts this year. We raised over $1500 for the "Offspring Project" that saves young girls who are sold into sex slavery.

A special mention has to go to all the tutors; Mrs Gainey, Mrs Treadwell, Ms Pelletier and Mr Kovacev for their extended commitment to the House. Special thanks to Ms Lannan for being our tutor before this year. A big thank you must go to Ms Saunders and Mr Blanchfield for their work as our Year 12 tutors for our final year and in particular, to Ms Saunders for mentoring us since Year 9. Finally, thank you so much to Mr Gilby for being such a magnificent and enthusiastic Head of House. Good luck to all Keith members for the future and as always ... embrace the Keith Love.

It was another exciting year in McArthur House, and 2016 will be one many won't forget, as it was a rewarding year for all involved. With a new Head of House, Mr Taylor, and a new bunch of talented Year 9s coming into McArthur, the House of Black was set for a successful year.

Term 3. We were confident we could continue our success by placing well in Cross Country. Unfortunately, our hopes of moving up the Cronk ladder were slightly affected by a bottom four finish! Thankfully, the Debating team took home another win in 2016 without even breaking into a sweat.

The year started with us walking away with the House Swimming Cup as champions after a fun-filled day. Strong performances from Mitch Taylor, Tara Boness, and Angus Longden helped us get across the line. However, this triumphant win would not have been possible without all McArthur members participating in as many events as possible, showing the true definition of a team.

Regardless of the result, everyone believed McArthur could make a comeback in the Athletics carnival shortly after. Each competitor performed extremely well and we had a feeling we had the chance to win overall. The turning point of the day was when Ben Batarilo motivated us all by smashing the 100-metre B race in an effort that will be remembered for years to come.

McArthur were destined for a first place finish until Morrison won the last two relays to overtake us in a thrilling finish to the day and the term.

McArthur's fierce team of badminton players also saw us take out the House Badminton title. We also had a strong presence in the House Softball, Tennis and Cricket competitions, with all involved trying their best, the true McArthur way.

House Music was next on our list to take out, however we fell short. This, however, cannot take anything away from everyone's immense dedication and enthusiasm. A special mention must go to our small group, particularly that of young Year 9s, Henry Parks, Nico Dawe, Charlie McArthur and Jax Cross, who braved their nerves, and helped McArthur win the overall small group section with an amazing score, proving that McArthur had received the cream of the crop when it came to the Year 9's.

Term 2 started as fast as Term 1 ended. We saw solid performances from the McArthur teams in Girls and Boys House Soccer, Netball and Hockey. A great win against Coles in the Basketball final including countless inspirational performances from each player, was the start of an enjoyable

Over the last four years, we have relished our time in McArthur and the many experiences we have had with fellow students and importantly teachers. Everyone has been successful in creating a welcoming and friendly environment within the house and also during each House event.

Thank you to each student for their contributions throughout the year and to all the tutors and teachers for their efforts.

Finally, a big thank you for Mr Taylor whose optimism and cheerful nature has carried all of us through the tough times and pushed us to consistently try our hardest for an incredible 2016.

After McLean was led to many victories by Charlotte and Sam in 2015, Lachlan and I had a tough act to follow this year to attempt to maintain these victories. Working alongside the enthusiastic Mrs Barnes and the elected Prefects including Alex West, Maysie Sadler and Bibi Holten. McLean's leadership team was formed and we came together collaboratively.

McLean worked as a team to place in many events, resulting in 2016 being an enjoyable and successful year, with the House participating in all aspects of Sport, Music and Art. House Music was the first scheduled event for 2016. With new voices coming from Year 9 and our spectacular small group performance, we thought we would have come away with a win for the third year in a row with our Big Group singing 'Gives you Hell' by The All-American Rejects. Our small group raised the roof with a tremendous performance of 'Hide and Seek' by Imogen Heap, showcasing an array of musical abilities within McLean House, including the talents of Iman Alfrink, Lucas Whittem and Amy You. Unfortunately, we came away with a third as Keith and Shannon outshone us, with only four points between us and second place.

Although we didn't place in Swimming, our McLean 'fish' Liam Chalmers and Nick Kemp helped us to achieve some outstanding wins. Cross Country and Athletics were House events that were loved by few, but they provided many with an area to push themselves and represent McLean to the best of their ability. This was a reflection of the way that all McLean members approached each event.

As the year progressed, McLean managed to come away with many wins which meant... donuts! Some highlights included winning House Water Polo, defeating Calvert and stripping

them of their winning streak. The boys had an extremely close Soccer Grand Final, placing a very close second. McLean ended Term 3 on a high, eating donuts, thanks to the McLean boys' Futsal team taking out a fabulous win. It was an intense game which displayed Oscar Beaumont-Kelly and Toby Lever's foot skills and exceptional talent.

McLean's success wouldn't have been made without our Head of House, Mrs Barnes. Without her this year, McLean wouldn't have functioned the way it did, due to her organisational skill, positive attitude, and enthusiasm for the students and House.

Additionally, the enjoyment of the students would not have been made possible without Mr Carroll and Ms Mahoney working with the Year 9s; Mrs Knight with the Year 10s; the chatty Year ll's with Ms Henning and finally, the Year 12 tutor Mr Smith, lending a helping hand to any member of McLean that needs it. His sense of humour and compassion towards his students has never gone unnoticed. He treats us all with respect and has nurtured our individual traits.

The year has now come to an end, and as House Captains, we can confidently say that the leadership and guidance we have received will be passed down onto the future Year 12s and will allow all members of McLean to keep their 'heads up and hearts open'. It has been a great pleasure and honour to be a part of such a prestigious House; we feel privileged to stand beside all McLean House members this year. Many wonderful friendships and memories have been made, as well as experiences we will never forget. We are assured that the McLean House will continue to achieve great success as well as many more victories in the years to come.

United under the brown Morrison Eagle, this year's House competition was one of the most contested that Morrison has ever had due to the continuous enthusiasm of the Morrison prefects, students, tutors and, of course, our Head of House, Mr Flanagan.

Morrison again integrated leadership roles throughout Year 11 and Year 12, so all members had a chance to lead in their minor sport competitions. Some standout performances included firsts in boys' Soccer, Softball and Netball and top 3 placings in Futsal, Badminton, Hockey and Water polo.

The year began with a solid placing of fourth for swimming.

Some standout performances included age group wins by Ben and Liesel Fraser, and consistent high placings by many members of Morrison.

Mr Andrews helped the Year 9s make the transition to Senior School with comfort and ease. The Year 10s have gained great confidence and have been essential to the House in sporting events this year. Led by the trustworthy Ms Richards, this group will be sure to step up next year as they start to become the leaders of Morrison. The Year 11 cohort had a successful year with large leadership involvement. This could not have been possible without the guidance they received from Ms Green and Ms Jackman. Finally, the 2016 Morrison Year 12 cohort had the privilege of having Mr Kristiansen and Ms Cleary as their tutors.

The group of Year 12s will be greatly missed but have left a positive legacy in the Morrison community, winning the Cronk Trophy once again in their final year.

A busy first term concluded with House Music. Morrison's big group performed Monsters and Men's 'Mountain Sound', while our small group, led by Will Carr, Sophie Newnham and Grace Stewart performed Shawn Mendes' 'Stitches'. Despite showing positive signs during rehearsals and having an energetic performance, Morrison came 6th, which was not a result reflective of the effort put in by Morrison and the Music captains.

The arrival of Cross-Country gave Morrison an opportunity to shine, with nearly all members of the House participating, which was reflected in a first place finish. Some outstanding performances included the Balaam sisters both winning their respective age groups, James Patterson winning his race, Tom Burke coming second, Ben Fraser finishing second, Liesel Fraser finishing third, and placings by Rose and Charlie Hosking.

Going into Athletics day, Morrison had one thing on their minds ... The Cronk. The event was rescheduled to the last Friday of term and the events were sorted, it came down to the very last races with both Year 12 relay teams finishing first and getting us over the line for a first place finish.

2016 has provided many memories. Throughout the year, the students of Morrison have shown their willingness to participate and sportsmanship without fault both on and off the sporting field. The Prefects, Jeremy Carruthers, Amelia Powell, Lilli Balaam and Matt Jackman, along with all the Year 12s, the tutors and of course, the lovable K-Flan, have worked together to make 2016 one of the most successful years for Morrison.

Thanks to all Morrison members for making 2016 a year we will never forget.

After a somewhat disappointing 2015 Cronk performance, all Shannon students returned on the first of February with fire in their bellies similar to what was present on the first day of Shannon's last victorious Cronk campaign in 2014. On day one, we decided that Shannon's rebuild from 'The Donovan Dynasty' was complete and we were ready to return to our rightful place and reclaim the Cronk.

Our perpetual quest for Cronk glory began with our request to all members of Shannon to finish in 'the top four' of every House event for the year. This quest began with an early hiccup with an eighth place in House Badminton. This seemed only to provide motivation for the Shannon Knights in future events as for the rest of the year we did not return to this displeasing position.

We immediately responded with a very solid third place in Cricket, courtesy of the Brett Lee-like pace from George Vincent, followed by an even more solid second in Softball with Jess Campbell providing some much-needed power hitting.

The strong performances of Shannon's fish Harry Shannon and Louise McDonald, led us to an impressive third place in Swimming, confirming our credentials as serious contenders.

Shannon's annual Valentine's Day fundraiser was also a success. Through the selling of carnations and lollipops, over $1500 was raised and donated to Guide Dogs Victoria.

Additionally the selling of Cadbury chocolates throughout the term raised substantial funds which were donated to our World Vision sponsor child.

The busy Term 1 concluded with an emphatic victory in House music. Conducted by Sammy Simson and Laura Cayzer, the big group performed a very enthusiastic rendition of Counting

Crow's 'Accidentally in Love'. The small group also performed at an exceptional level with Rebecca McGrath exhibiting her talent on the keyboard and our fantastic singers stealing the show.

Consistency was the theme for Shannon's performance in the minor House events for the rest of the year. Solid results in Hockey, Football, Futsal and Water Polo were pleasing.

Additionally, Jamira Hunter's creative piece helped us to a very respectable second place in the House Arts competition.

The postponement to Term 3 of Cross Country due to weather was seen as both a hindrance and a help. On one level, the postponement disturbed the intense training program that was being encouraged by Mrs Smith, but on another level {literally). it created an opportunity for several to complete some altitude training at the snow over the winter holidays. Shannon ended the day in fifth place with Tom Page, Eliza Shannon and Ngor Aker all placing highly in their respective age groups.

2016 has been a fantastic year for Shannon with many highlights. Many thanks must be given to Mr Greg Smith (Maths), Mrs Filling, Madame Chabant, Mrs Watson and Mr Hannah for their tireless work throughout the year organising their respective tutorial groups. Special thanks must also go the House Prefects, Luke Henry, Rebecca McGrath, Samantha Simson and Laura Cayzer as well as all the Year 12s for their contributions to Shannon this year. Additionally, our wonderful Head of House, Mrs Smith must be thanked and we hope this year marks the start of the Smith dynasty.

2016 has been an incredibly enjoyable and positive year for all Wettenhall students. We were led by the always encouraging Mrs Hallows, whose organisation and commitment is phenomenal as she enthusiastically supports all students in various competitions.

Wettenhall House has continued to show that we will take on challenges and will always try our best, with House spirit shining like the brightly painted House room. It is true that unity and teamwork are pillars of our house that allow us to thrive. Saying goodbye to 2015's Year 12s, we thought that this year, we'd better also say goodbye to eighth place in the Cronk, and so the pursuit was on.

Term 1 began with a splash with the highly anticipated Swimming competition welcoming the ambitious Year 9s to their first major House competition. With all students involved, and great enthusiasm, we placed sixth. However, this didn't affect our determination, with Wettenhall students producing good results in other summer sports. A second place in Cricket and third in Badminton, thanks to the twins Joey and Joman, were followed by more impressive results in Softball and Tennis. Wettenhall had the youngest ensemble group at House music. However, this did not faze them, with William Evans-Papinski singing the challenging melody of "Hello". He is definitely someone to watch out for in the years to come. The Wettenhall choir, like Shannon Noll in '03, were robbed of first place as they belted out "What About Me". Unfortunately, this performance was clearly more out of the box than the judges could appreciate.

The delay of House Cross Country was a disappointment.

However, this allowed us to train harder in the lead-up, which ultimately paid off, as we finished in second place and won the girls' section. Mrs Hallows' motto of "Yes We Can" was shouted with great enthusiasm throughout the course of the day, helping us over the line. Devastating first-round losses in Football and Senior Netball were made up for by the win in Junior Netball and competitive results in Water Polo and Basketball.

A highlight of the year was a win in Hockey led by the determined Sophie Gough. A semi-final appearance in Futsal and second place in Debating consolidated our Cronk ranking. Wettenhall was finally rewarded for all their hard work throughout the year with an impressive first in Rowing.

With many talented members, the future is looking bright for Wettenhall.

Thanks must go to the Tutors of the House: Year 9's Mr Sheppard, Year lO's Ms Utting, Year ll's Ms Ulloa and a special thanks must go to Mr Donovan for tutoring the Year 12s for the past two years. His help with guiding us through our VCE years has been appreciated by everyone in the Wettenhall Year 12 cohort.

2016 has been a very enjoyable year for all the Mackie boys.

With boarders from Year 7 to 12 from all over the planet living under the Mackie roof, this year's Mackie group has been one of Mackie's most diverse groups ever. Everyone from 12 year old Zac Norton from Warrnambool to 18 year old Hayden Tam from Hong Kong has contributed to life in Mackie.

At the end of Semester 1 this year, the boys were saddened to hear that resident tutor Joel Irons would be leaving the boarding house to further pursue his teaching career in Melbourne. The much loved "Joely" has been an extremely popular tutor during his over two years in Mackie and will be missed.

There have been many highlights for the Mackie boys this year. Possibly the biggest highlight of the year, was the 21st annual "Mackie Man" competition which took place on the last weekend of Term 3. Charlie Langley was crowned the 2016 "Mackie Man" having proved himself as Mackie's finest physical specimen over several challenges ranging from 100 metre sprint to a dry Weet-Bix eating competition.

This year we welcomed Mr Gilby and new resident tutor Marcus Tyrell into the Mackie boarding community. They have both settled intMackie exceptionally well. We would also like to thank Mr Cheatley, Mr Andrews, Mr Blanchfield, and Damien Stephenson for their tireless work as tutors over this year. Each of these tutors have brought something different and the house would not be the same without them. Lastly, we must thank Mr Smith who, as Head of Mackie, has been there for the boys no matter what the time of day or the importance of the occasion.

Other highlights for the year have included outings to Bounce in Melbourne, a night at the stage play "Matilda" at the Princess Theatre and the annual Lorne beach day. However, it is everyday life in Mackie that the boys will remember and look back upon fondly in future years. This has lead to a very strong comradery amongst the 48 boys.

There is no way the Mackie experience would be possible without the love and care the boys receive from our Matron, Ms Jeffreys. Whether it is making the boys her famous Anzac biscuits on a Wednesday or just being there for a chat, Ms Jeffreys' role is integral to life in Mackie and the house simply would not function without her.

2016 marks the end of life Mackie, an experience which has been enjoyed immensely by this year's 18 Year 12 boys. This year's cohort has been an incredibly tight knit group. Although the boys will look back on our time in Mackie nostalgically in years to come, it is an incredibly exciting time for us as we enter the real world with a very solid platform for the future thanks to our time in Mackie. We have both have enjoyed our time in Mackie immensely and wish the very best for all future Mackie boys.

My time here at College started when I was in Year 10 and while it was a long time ago, I still remember the first day as if it were yesterday. That day was full of mixed emotions: new friends and new rules and new teachers. I realised then that the girls of Mossgiel were a community and that they could be relied on if I ever needed them. Now, at the end of Year 12, I have some wonderful memories to cherish forever. I would like to thank the amazing bunch of ladies that make up Mossgiel for walking me through this life changing experience. Thank you to all the Tutors and Matrons who have played a massive part in making my time in Mossgiel a safe and easy one.

Jess Campbell Sunday 31st of January 2016 was the day that the Year 9s took their first steps into Mossgiel while the Year 12s took their last.

This was 284 days ago. We have all spent 229 days together, experienced 687 meals, around 163 nights of study, some more, some less, but now it is all drawing to a close.

Term 1 saw the year start at a fast pace, Sacs and Summer sport and Mossgiel coming together as a House. The Easter raffle saw the Year 9s and 10s selling chocolate in the blistering heat to the day students in broken but still viable bunny ears. Those of us who turned 18 were beginning the milestones and more and more cars were showing up in the Field of Dreams, much to Ms Matthews horror!

As Winter approached, the plastic was peeled off the dry cleaned kilts and Winter sport was in full swing. The annual Mossgiel fundraiser breakfast was continued this year, proudly raising funds for the White Ribbon Foundation. To finish the Term, the informal Boarders' Formal was on with a creative theme of Heroes which saw people dressing up as anything from the Kardashians to Wednesday Adams.

Deep in the arms of a Term 3 Winter, it was hard for the girls to keep smiling. Exams crowded the minds of everyone for a while until the glitz and glamour of the Formal took hold. Girls sported fake tans as did many of the boys! The younger levels provided opinions on everything from shoes to hair and there was even input from Mr Conway and Mr Donovan! Week 6 saw the annual cultural outing in Melbourne to see the awe inspiring musical Matilda, the memory of which brings joy to many of us.

Open days for Uni rolled around and the question of "What are we going to do next year?" became a reality. With that, the last proper Term for Year 12 was over.

Mossgiel has changed us forever and personally, leaving The Geelong College after 14 years is hard. Being in Mossgiel has been a special part of that experience because of the tutors and Matrons, and especially, everyone's rock, Ms Matthews. To the younger girls, please cherish the moments you have here and hold them close to your heart. In the blink of an eye, a change of season, and it is all a distant memory.

We're Not a Party, We're a Team

Year 10 Politics The two-day experiential program is designed to replicate a modern Federal and/ or State electoral process. It is housed in the wonderful surrounds of the Keith Humble Centre. Students are either placed in one of five political parties or become a member of the AEC or media group. The engagement and enthusiasm of this year's student cohort would suggest that the program, now in its eleventh year, was again an invaluable way for students to learn more about politics, civics and citizenship. Thanks to all staff involved over the course of the two days.

Mr Greg Naylor Some excerpts from the student political leaders' speeches: "Good afternoon ladies, gentlemen and fellow parties of Australia, I'm Behlana Robinson and I am representing the Labor party in this Federal election. We gather here as one united party: ready to serve, ready to lead and ready to govern. The ALP is confident that a great future is within Australia's reach - and we are also certain that our party has the plans to make it the best future possible. It is time we move towards a stronger community and fairer society through our ambitious vision for our country."

"How is it fair, how is it just and how is it humane to turn thousands of people away? These people who are fleeing for their lives, these people who just want a safe home?"

"We are the party for Australian students, providing them with the high-quality education they need for a brighter future.

We are the party for people who have been forcibly displaced around the globe, fleeing from war, conflict and persecution.

We are the party for the people seeking jobs with fair pay and penalty rates. We are the party who will perform real action on climate change. We are the party for the people whose voice all too often goes unheard. We are the party for the people of Australia. We are the party for you."

"Time is running out, and it is time our country understands that the Liberals are the party to keep the clock going on forever, and create a sustainable country full of intelligence, innovation and passion. It's our time" As the English MP, Edmund Burke, stated in 1770, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women] to do nothing" "Speaking is an art, not an afterthought for good politicians"

Debating The 2016 DAV season has been exciting and successful for the 45 Geelong College debaters, with great promise for the future.

Any one walking past G4 whilst teams planned the next debate would attest to the fact that debating is not a quiet activity!

Deciding main arguments and team splits is a passionate process but essential if a team is to succeed. In 2016, this ability to plan together, to research and justify their arguments, has led to some outstanding achievements.

Our Year 9 debaters can also be very proud of themselves in their first year of debating in Senior School. Their talent and confident argument led to an equal first placing in the Geelong Region. Unfortunately, they were narrowly defeated in the first State final, arguing "That we should have a maximum number of working hours each week." The team consisted of Oliver Sao, Luke McCoy, Jacqui Greer, Carly Perkins, Iona Bulford, Emily Bagnara, Antonia Bowlen, Jialin Miao and Hannah Walker.

B Grade was undefeated in the Geelong region and went on to a narrow defeat in the State Octa Finals. The team consisted of Laura Turnbull, Devmy Panagodage, Declan Skuza, Izzy Greer, Molly McLaughlin and Michaela Ryan.

They argued topics ranging from "That we should legalise Uber" to the very demanding Octa Final topic "That feminists should always vote for a woman in any election regardless of policies". Their organization and intellectual engagement throughout the season was outstanding. Molly McLaughlin is to be congratulated on winning the Swannie Award for the Best Speaker in the Geelong region.

In their last season debating together, A Grade demonstrated their usual skill and intelligence, but unfortunately had some very narrow defeats. Topics were quite diverse, ranging from "That we should open all international borders" to "That university fees should be capped." I congratulate the team of Lachlan Baensch, Dayne Jackson, Hamish Bulford, Alexander Gregory, Maysie Sadler, Grace Carroll, Melis Layik and Noah Nicholas for their contribution to College debating over the years and wish them well in the future.

C Grade 1 and 2 were also exceptional this year. College 2 were undefeated in the Geelong Region and went on to the State finals. The team, consisting of Andrew Duan, Georgia White, Behlana Robinson and Charlotte Midgley, won the first final against Westbourne Grammar arguing "That Clickbait is bad for Journalism".

In the Octa Finals, they were narrowly defeated arguing "That we should ban unpaid internships" against Lauriston Girls School. College 1, consisting of Catherine Clark, Michael Delahunty, Rory Vagg, Ellie Negro, Nyah Burrell and Ella Pullen, were second in the Geelong region. Both teams are to be congratulated on their commitment, engagement and skill.

BA is a class with real spirit and despite our differences we have combined effectively to create a harmonious and creative group. We began the process early in Term 1 at Mokborree. Our activities were all about bonding, team work, co-operation and, of course, fun. Everybody in the class enjoyed themselves and felt affirmed even if our planes did not get anywhere near the records set in previous years!

School can become a bit predictable and so BA really welcomed the opportunities on offer this year. Whether it was cooking up a storm in Paddock to Platter, building a racing car in Fl in Schools, developing our acting skills in the Production, learning new dance steps in So You Think You Can Dance or exploring the finer points of graffiti in Street Art the Art & Tech Electives were fantastic.

Cre8 was the chance to explore new interests, set some challenging goals and devote lots of time to bringing them to reality. Whether it was designing and sewing a horse rug, starting work on a graphic novel or building a butcher block table, Cre8 gave us all plenty of scope to develop as individuals.

The Sporting program was something that the whole class enjoyed. Whilst it wasn't all about winning, the performances of the BA Netballers and 88 Girls Soccer Team were outstanding with both teams going through undefeated. For the rest of us we enjoyed the team spirit whether it was built on muddy winter fields or on hot summer courts.

The Year 8 Production was a highlight for not just BA but for the year level too. It gave us a real glimpse into what creativity looks like. Yes there was the colour, the music and the great acting but there was also the discipline, the hard repetition during rehearsals and the grind that comes from not accepting second best. It was the best!

2016 has been a fantastic year and the thanks for that comes from how 25 individuals bonded together, with just a little bit of prodding and nudging from our teachers. Thanks everyone for making the year so rewarding!

8B immersed themselves in a novel study of Robert Newton's, Runner this semester in English. Classroom discussion flourished around the themes explored in the novel including mateship, loyalty, how to make a viable living, issues surrounding poverty, football in society, complicated family issues and love. The students enjoyed the humour of the main character Charlie and his dark affiliation with notorious Melbourne gangster, Squizzy Taylor.

As a part of the experience, students were fortunate enough to attend an excursion to Melbourne, visiting the places they had read about in the novel. They took part in a guided (Squizzy Taylor tour) which took the students along the dark alleys and cobbled roads of our fascinating capital. While this was a contemporary visit and the novel was set in 1919, the students were able to retrace the steps of the characters in the novel and learn about an era that was very foreign to now.

The 8B English class travelled to Melbourne with BC and enjoyed a guided tour run by people who knew the intricate details and history of the book. The students were physically and emotionally walked through the alleyways and well known haunts of Squizzy Taylor and his group. At times their senses were assaulted by the realities of these less than sanctimonious spaces which conjured images of severe neglect and poverty.

The tour ended at a multicultural food court in China town and finished with the students kicking the football and taking in the sights of Treasury Gardens. The students seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day and it was a great way to finish off a unit of study that the students have enjoyed. The novel challenged them to think about what it means to have to grow up and how different characters in challenging times needed to do anything to survive. 8B enjoyed reading the novel and have been easy to extend in this area of study. It was a great day for all involved and many thanks to Coral Turner and Claire Woods who helped out with the classes on the day.

BUSHFIRE The bushfire leaps from tree to tree.

It grows quickly to embrace the withered countryside.

Its fingers reaching up, taking hold of branches, Its huge tongue licks the base of trees.

It opens its mouth wide, And devours everything in its path.

The fire shouts and roars as it runs across the landscape.

It spits and hisses as it gorges on the undergrowth.

Its angry, glowing eyes search the horizon.

It chooses one house and skips past the next, Leaving a blackened footprint of where it has been.

8D students engaged in a variety of hands-on activities in Science this year. Each Chemistry lesson was designed around a simple experiment that illustrated a key concept of chemical change. Glow sticks were placed in hot and cold water. Vinegar and baking soda were reacted under a range of different conditions including temperature and amount of reactants.

Hydrogen peroxide decomposition was the basis for exploring catalysis. All of these hands-on activities were explained at the molecular level.

The Geology unit relied heavily on our extensive rock collection.

Students able to handle a wide range of different rock types and examine them under a stereo microscope. Making the link between observable properties and the past history of a rock was the key to this unit. A field trip to a recent volcano, Mt Elephant, and a working quarry at Mt Shadwell was the major activity in this unit. Prospecting for the elusive valuable gemstone really brings Geology to life.

Learning how to use a microscope was the basis of the Cells unit. Students were able to use the digital cameras to make accurate, labelled records of their observations. Students will think twice before drinking from a horse trough in the future! Cells are three dimensional objects but the diagrams in textbooks don't show this very well. How better to emphasise this than asking students to create three dimensional models of a specialised animal or plant cell? A range of different materials were used in this task from flotsam washed ashore at Anglesea, to fruit and vegetables, to fabrics, to modelling clay to the ever popular cakes and lollies. The result was a deeper understanding of the structure of a cell.

Every Science Unit is built around hands-on activities. This is an effective way of engaging students in a deeper understanding of scientific concepts.

Since 2014, The College has offered a new opportunity for students in Year 8 to explore their creativity. Cre8, the name of the project enables students to shape their inspiration into making something tangible that they will be able to share with their peers, their teachers, their families but also the wider community. With the help of a mentor they brainstorm ideas, organise material, overcome challenges and above all, they create something unique that reflects their personality.

Alana, for instance, was inspired by a painting she saw in Venice: "I had the idea when I was walking in the streets in Venice. We walked into a modern art shop, where there were many advanced pieces of art but one in particular caught my eye. I was amused at how the reverse perspective painting made the top point that was physically nearest look furthest away. I saw this done in the form of a room. It was an easy decision that this was going to be my Cre8 and I did not have to look any further than the streets of Venice to know what I was going to paint."

The Cre8 Project is also a good opportunity for the students to extend their skills and learn how to use new tools. These skills can in turn become useful later, as Baxter explains: "I have learnt how to work with wood, like how to really use a saw, because beforehand I kind of knew how to but I wasn't very good at it. I also learnt how to file and sand wood back. This has help me with M.E.S.H. (Reach for the stars) where we are making mouse trap cars and I had to cut the wood and sand it back."

Despite the challenges faced during the process of making their projects, the students still appreciate the journey. Kye tells us more about the problems he encountered: "I built a Guitar, a Gibson Explorer, which did come with some ups and downs, such as chipping of paint when removing the masking tape, but also learning how to fix it with a little paint brush. The flames and pinstripe were difficult."

"I think Cre8 is an amazing and useful experience and I am thankful to be part of it. Overall I think Cre8 should be a program in all schools across Australia." - James.

BF started their 2016 journey down at Mokborree for a day.

It was a day of collaboration and fun. A day to get to know one another and work with each other and build the foundations of good relationships within the homeroom. Communication skills and team work, as well as problem solving and initiatives were just a few of the skills we worked on. We started off the day with a plane building activity which took groups of five into the quadrangle to build a plane out of wood and corflute. At first we had to problem solve the order of instructions in which to complete the building of the plane. Then with a hammer and nail in one hand and duct tape in the other, we took to building the best plane we could. Once completed, it was off for the flight competition. Facing into the wind to increase the wing lift, each person had a go at throwing the plane made by their group. Some nosedived, some went left or right or did a loop, with only three planes flying straight. With a throw of 17.lm 'Factory Made Washing Machine' took out 1st place. After the plane building activity, the table tennis table provided a lot of enjoyment for students as we had a break. Others found solace in reading books under the trees or tried to hula hoop by the forest clearing.

Next on the agenda was initiative games taken by Mr. Robbins.

The games were challenging and required us to think outside the box and look at the problems from a different angle. We learnt that in order to be successful at completing a task, team work is critical. We learnt that communication is a key component of working in a team and that everyone needs to know what the goal is and the agreed method to achieve this.

An activity as simple as everyone stepping under a rope at the same time can be a challenge. The day just flew by, as is usually the case when you are having fun.

Mokborree set the foundations for a great year.

Here at The Geelong College there are many cultures and backgrounds amongst our students.

In 7A it has been an honour to have various religious backgrounds. We have been inclusive of everyone, celebrating cultural backgrounds and different beliefs.

One of the benefits from our multi-cultural class is the way we can learn about the cultures and religions everyone has to offer. We each learn about different beliefs through different classmates.

Within our curriculum we have covered various types of cultures and their rituals in life. This has included in English our book on the people of Afghanistan and their struggles with war. In Religion we have learnt about Christianity within history. During our Mentor time we discuss the celebration of the various religious backgrounds we have in our class. This has enriched us in our understanding and knowledge on how different cultures live their lives and celebrate their diversity.

"Strength lies in differences, not in similarities" - Stephen R. Covey This quote means that it is better to be different than to be all the same. Our differences are what makes us who we are. We are stronger when we are different because of our abilities and knowledge. We might not be good at one thing but someone else might be. So, together as one, we are stronger. If we work together we can achieve anything.

This year in 7A we have demonstrated this on camp where we worked together on many challenging activities. We got to know one another and our abilities. We also learnt how to respect each other and our backgrounds allowing us to grow as strong individuals. This is something that will enrich our future education and lives.

Diversity!

One of our foci this year has been restructuring the layout of the classroom and using furniture in different ways to create varied learning zones. The underpinning idea is to provide differentiated work spaces that students choose to use depending on the type of work they are doing and the level of involvement that they need or choose to have with their peers and their teacher. Providing this kind of a setup is taking a step towards encouraging students to understand and develop their independence in making the right learning decisions based on where they choose to work.

The layout includes: a gathering space, an independent zone and a collaboration zone.

The gathering space is used to tune students in at the beginning of the lesson. Teacher or student demonstrations, instructions, explanations and short discussions occur in this space.

The independent zone is an individual working area where students work quietly while they find their flow within a particular task. Furniture does not limit where this kind of zone can be set up - a desk, beanbag, cushion - any of those will do!

The collaboration zone is based within the classroom, and more students choose to work here. They can discuss work with their peers, workshop with a partner or with a teacher and bounce ideas around a broad group of people who have different perspectives. This often leads to strong group learning.

An important part of these learning spaces isn't just their use but the decisions students make about when they use them. While some choices aren't always the best ones there is an understanding that we learn from what doesn't work too. Sometimes working in the independent zone can result in drifting off, sometimes working in the group zone can result in conversations that go off on tangents. However, most of the time they lead to immersion in learning and shared understanding of concepts when learning with peers. All of that is okay, as the process of choosing and experiencing different zones is a big part of learning what works and when. And that is learning we celebrate!

MMXVI Rome Day took place in the last week of Term 2 with the entire Year 7 cohort joining together to participate in a wide range of Ancient Rome activities. Students and staff dressed in Ancient Roman costumes bringing a splash of colour to the school day. Students were able to experience first-hand Ancient Roman civilisation in a fun and exhilarating way.

Specialists from the Medieval Education Pty Ltd worked with students, engaging them in Gladiator and Warrior activities.

We were able to use traditional weapons and armour and thoroughly enjoyed this activity. Students also participated in a maths lesson where they were taught how sundials worked and how important they were in daily Roman life. Students made and tested a working sundial and were able to test whether or not it had succeeded in telling the time. In the process of making the sundial, students used skills in using roman numerals, angles and links to latitude. Most students succeeded in this task and it was an extremely enjoyable activity.

The Ceramics activity involved creating an ancient Roman oil lamp similar in size, style and function to that used by Romans.

They discussed how and why these lamps were used in Ancient Roman times and the various kinds of decorative symbols that were used to decorate them. These included: While the students in the other group learnt that art was an important part of Ancient Roman life. They loved to surround themselves with images of their Gods, culture and landscapes by creating fresco paintings. Students looked at the different places where frescos were used in Ancient Rome. Whereas Ancient Roman artists used paint made from pigments sourced from nature, students used watercolour to create their artwork.

In the Science activity students had the chance to put together a catapult. They then fired the catapult using various objects.

The aim of the activity was to get your catapult to send the object the furthest distance. The results varied from a few centimetres to five metres. Students that were involved in the English activity had the opportunity to create a historical narrative based on what they had learned throughout the term.

There were some amazing stories created.

7D know that regular reading (at least 15 mins a day) improves concentration, assists in developing writing and vocabulary skills and fires the imagination.

The Family Reading Project helped us discover and explore different genres and authors. We interviewed our parents (or other adults) about the books they enjoyed reading when they were in Year 7 and we chose one of these suggestions to read ourselves. We also enjoyed the opportunity to share our creative responses with all Year 7 students and families at the Expo night.

It's been a tough job, but we have each chosen one of our favourite books for 2016.

The Art program in Year 7 allows for a diverse range of experiences and exploration and occurs in an atmosphere of creative- evaluative reflection and processes, within which the individual has the opportunity to formulate visual expressions in relation to their own ideas. The art experience promotes the sensitivity to and appreciation of, visual art that enriches our lives, and allows our students the opportunity to express innate creativity and to discover potential in the satisfaction of completing a print, digital design, drawing or a clay form which is truly unique.

Artistic creation provides a sense of achievement and selfconfidence and promotes the development of independent artistic judgement. It is an experience in discrimination, evaluation and problem solving.

'I enjoyed making linocuts. I like creating and drawing and letting my imagination go.' Ethan Duffy 'What I have enjoyed most about Art this year is that it is full of great opportunities to express yourself through your work.

My favourite part was making and designing the linocuts, then printing them onto pillows. I am looking forward to seeing the final product of my linocuts' Anneliese Jones 'This year I learned how to keep a visual diary and how to show the process of making art work to others. I enjoy Art because I can be creative and produce pieces that I am proud of. My favourite piece was my clay owl mug.' Lauren Billman 'I enjoyed doing linocuts, especially the printing. I am also looking forward to seeing the final product for my animal pot in ceramics' Xavier Potter 'This year my favourite piece of art was my pillow print. We have learned about stylisation and used this skill in graphic design, printing and ceramics. I have loved exploring stylisation and have also enjoyed ceramics as it is very hands on and lots of fun.' Harriet Koch.

'Creativity takes courage'. Matisse

Drama in Year 7 is a collaboration of teamwork and teambuilding. Over the course of two terms, in teams of five, 7F have created stories involving super heroes and fairy tales.

Taking part in Drama pushes our boundaries in so many ways and assists us to develop our friendships and gain confidence in ourselves and in front of peers. Year 7 drama is an amazing experience; making high quality performances with class mates.

We prepared many performances, including reality TV shows, super heroes and fairy-tales. We then shared our performances with our peers including some Junior School children who absolutely loved everything we showed them. We learnt that when we perform we need to consider and think about the age group we were acting for and what they would enjoy watching, such as our voice, movement, sound and costumes.

Drama is a great way of learning social skills. Nothing proves this more than the four Learning Keys which we put in place each time we have Drama. The first key is observation, which is important because we need to be aware of what is happening during a performance and be ready for what comes next.

Another key is listening. To listen, you need the self-control to focus on the task. Co-operation is an important key. You can't have a play without team-mates! You must work well together and bounce ideas from one another. The final and most important key is doing, which means you need to contribute and have a go at everything and participate. All these elements are vital to unlock success in Drama. These keys will stay with us forever, as their messages are strong, but simple.

Drama is important for everyone, to help us form friendships, gain confidence to find your inner talents and to believe in yourself. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to step up and this is the skill that drama gives us all. This year in Drama we have all definitely gained confidence during the fun filled sessions in terms 1 and 2.

Communication is key to everything that happens in Year 6 and we've loved learning how to develop our communication skills across a variety of platforms. It's not just about film, photography and digital media. It's about using digital media to communicate a message that affects our audiences.

TED Talks and Digital Storyclips that made us question who we are and what we believe in ... Problem-Solving sessions that led to mathematical discussions, debates and sometimes arguments, all while learning how to communicate our findings ... Stop-Motion Animations that explained our understanding of 3D shapes and 2D nets while still having an engaging storyline ... Instructional Films that educated while also entertaining our audiences ...

Edublogs pages that connected us as a community of learners and allowed us to share our thoughts, our feedback, our successes, our mistakes and our learning.

We all know that technology is developing faster than ever, so it's important for us to keep experimenting with new computer programs, apps and digital media. Even though our time in Year 6 has come to a close, our journey with technology and communication is never-ending.

An inquiring mind, curiosity, confidence, critical thinking, persistence and collaboration are just some of the skills taken to new levels in Year 5. Developing a sensitivity to design through making has seen students engage in a wide range of experiences from traditional crafts to robotics. This year, students have for the first time learnt new skills such as sewing, as well as having access to a broader range of programming software and devices including app enabled robots and drones. In all of these activities, students have been challenged to look closely, consider parts, purposes and complexities and design solutions to problems, all whilst learning skills and constructing their understandings through investigation, experimentation and reflection.

Additional highlights this year include our excursion to the Lego Education Centre in Melbourne, camp at Baanya Biami and the Allegro music program.

"Year 5 is a great place for discovery and learning." Oliver A "It's creative, and if it doesn't work we can go back and change something; that way we learn from our mistakes." Vallen "I like that it's a challenge. If you don't know what to do, you can ask one of your friends to help. The robotics programs are not simple either; they really make you think." Jack "I really like that we can learn new things and then we can teach others." Hannah "In Year 5, we are all learning. If we don't fail sometimes, we'll never succeed." Oliver H "I've loved having the opportunity to create and learn." Ted 0 Learning Mentors: Mr J Colbert, Mr A McKie, Mrs K Watson

With our Term 1 question, "How can we grow a productive garden?" we had to 'peel the layers off the onion' which means to dig deeper with our learning. Since the Enviro Garden was new to us, we had so many ideas in our head and so much learning coming our way from every direction.

We did soil experiments, we learnt about the seasons, how to water, the importance of sunlight and nutrients for plants. We learnt watering and weeding techniques and we earnt how to use a spade to dig.

We have a compost bin in the enviro that you can put banana peels apple cores and most fruit and veggie scraps. At the end of the day the compost bin is emptied into the worm farm to make worm juice and worm castings which provide nutrients for our garden. Some of our scraps also go to the chickens.

Gardening takes patience. You can't expect something to grow right away. In Term 1, we did a project called Pot to Plate, where we chose a food plant and tried to grow it. The trick to this project was that we had to pick a food that grew in summer through to autumn. We also could only use a pot the size of our two hands side by side. We each had the responsibility of tending to our own plants. We didn't all succeed.

We have learnt that when you grow something it will not always grow how you want it. Imagine how hard it must be to grow food for 7.2 billion people a year!

Not only do we help our garden we also go adventuring to other places like the Merrawarp Road block where we planted 401 indigenous plants in all different shapes and sizes.

We used to think gardening was a chore, but now we think of it as a gift and something special to do at home or school.

Asking the question, "How can we grow a productive garden?" was a great start to the year and we are still thinking about this question and striving for the most productive garden we can make.

During Term 2 our Inquiry Unit was: How are the living things around us connected?

The activities we experienced and the books we read were all connected to our main question of the term. The main books we read were Wedge Tail and Longneck's Billabong.

This topic inspired us to learn and appreciate that all the living things around us are connected. We looked at ecosystems, habitats, food chains and food webs. The sun provides energy to the plants, then animals eat the plants and the bigger animal eats the smaller animal and the food chain continues.

Eventually the animal will die and decompose into the earth, making healthy soil and that helps plants grow.

There is one thing that terribly disturbs the food chain; extinction. Too many animals have become extinct or are endangered due to habitat loss, hunting or disease.

But we believe we can make a difference.

Every living thing is important. Trees give us oxygen, provide shade and give us wood. Spiders help reduce the population of insects and the bees pollinate the flowers and give us honey.

Every living thing has its place and helps the environment in a special way.

Humans play an important role in the food chain like planting and watering the plants so that the animals can eat them, providing habitat and much more.

We have felt really grateful for what we have. People should be more grateful for our beautiful environment and understand how lucky we are to be here.

We have been inspired to make positive changes to the environment when we are older. We would like to revegetate the land and protect endangered species of animals.

Year 4 Enviro has been focussing on the question, 'How has my place changed over time?' We started off by doing the project, 'How did I come to be in Geelong?' For this project we made a time line that showed the different stages of us being in our place and then we were able to share our stories. It was fascinating hearing the different journeys.

We have read many books that relate to our question .....

Belonging, Windows, Blueback and You and Me Murrawee, each story filling our minds with how things change and the importance of belonging.

Our River Time adventures were awesome. On one adventure we actually pretended to be indigenous children, it was so cool. Using the area near the Barwon River we had to provide warmth, shelter and create our own entertainment for our clan.

Stories from the past helped us in our play.

Recently we went to the Venter's farm where we did activities such as looking at the grasses that are grown today compared to what was once growing on the farm. We learnt that some animals have disappeared because the indigenous grasses have been eaten by the rabbits. The Ute ride down to the river was a highlight, along with watching a shearer shear a sheep with today's machine, which was fast, compared to shearing with the old shears, which took forever. Our morning finished off with cooking damper around the fire.

Ross George, from the Barrabool Hills, also helped us answer our term's question. When we visited his farm Ross told us how he has changed his landscape from sheep grazing to trees, trees and more trees. We are lucky to have people like Ross.

Mt Rothwell was the big excursion, it showed us how humans have changed the landscape and made some really cute animals become endangered. Mt Rothwell is a great example of what our landscape would be like without feral animals. It was definitely a life changing experience.

It was a jam packed term. The biggest lesson learnt is how change can be good, but we need to do it well so that we look after the environment, habitat and animals.

There's always something happening in the Library...

Our visiting author, Gabrielle Williams provided Secondary students with a compelling list of reading suggestions that covered a variety of genres - something for everyone! Read Aloud Day was celebrated outside over lunch time. The enthusiasm of all presenters and their audience created a wonderful atmosphere in and around the new Quad area. Year 4-6 students and staff eagerly embraced the 2016 Book Week theme by dressing up and representing all things to do with Australian stories. Lunch time activities are diverse and cater for a wide range of interests; again, there's something for everyone!

Debating 2016 saw a new lot of young faces ready to take on the challenge and thrill of learning how to debate and facing strong opponents in the Geelong region.

Debating is offered at both Year 7 and Year 8 at the Middle School through the Debaters Association of Victoria (DAV). The DAV Schools Competition, which spans from Year 7 to Year 12, involves over 250 schools, 1400 teams, four grades, 19 regions, five rounds and a six-night finals series. It is no wonder it is the largest English-language debating competition in the world.

This year, Year 8 students involved in the program demonstrated a steady growth in public speaking skills and actively worked on the feedback provided by adjudicators. The structure of student speeches was frequently commented on as being very good and their rebuttal skills developed well.

The experience provided them with an opportunity to work with others in a small and collaborative team, to face challenging and demanding topics, to think on the spot during the debates and to grow more confident with their ability to speak with conviction and clarity in front of an audience.

The Year 7 program focussed primarily on the introduction to debating, especially the three basics, being matter, method and manner. Students brought a sound level of knowledge and understanding of debating into the training from previous experiences and have continued working on this during preparation sessions at school. The competition proved to be enjoyable and rigorous, and has set the Year 7 debaters up with strong skills going into Year 8 debating.

Kristina Zeravica Imogen Duff, a Year 8 student represented the school in the state finals of the Victorian Legacy Public Speaking competition, at the Telstra Conference Centre, on Friday October 21. Imogen won her preliminary round at the Victorian Legacy Headquarters, on Monday September 12 and her initial Geelong round in June.

She competed against 12 state finalists from across the state and spoke eloquently on the "relevance of role models in our society''. It was her impromptu speech, however, that captivated the judges and the audience on the topic of "waiting in a queue''.

Imogen has been a fine representative of the school and is young enough to compete in the competition again next year. We wish her luck in her future endeavours.

Each time the Atelier and the surrounding learning space was manipulated and reconfigured the Year Three students entered with a sense of wonder, running imaginations, the open and confident questioning flowed, and the enthusiastic and creative statements could be heard and seen as the students explored the newly created learning nooks. The essence of inquisitiveness and exploration drifted around the year three space, inside and outside. The students wondering continued to grow throughout the entire year.

The student's colourful and unique personalities were explored through a variety of topics and multi-modal explorations using the approach of our entwined curriculum. Thinking routines enabled the students to collaboratively research a plant that reflected their personalities. They investigated exotic, interesting, amazing, unique, bizarre plants from around the world. The trip to The Geelong Botanic Garden heightened the student's wanderings and they were able to make connections to their prior research.

Ben H - I noticed that the learning space looks mysterious because it's been changed

Through listening to our students and observing their 100 languages, as teachers and facilitators we reviewed our documentation which recorded the student's conversations during class meetings and thinking routines. The students expressed a need to personalise their individual interests, ideas, wonders and questionings to investigate and research creating a tree house that depicted their personality. How do flowers get their colours?

Maddie - it makes me feel excited because we get to learn with the other class Edwina - and we get the beautiful views of the outside.

The Year Three students began by investigating colours and how a colour best describes their personalities. The students were able to form ideas around who they are as learners and how they see themselves when they are thinking and learning.

Through the use of feedback they were able to reflect on what they noticed about how they think and learn.

Audrey - a personality is who you are, what you do and how you do it Charlotte - it's like little people live inside you and your feelings are all different Xavier - Like emotions that talk to you Hannah - your emotions control you, your personality is when you have different feelings at different times. Some people get sad and some people don't.

Emma - You are developing all the time and finding out who you are. So our personality changes.

Hayden - you think differently Julian - your personality is your inside character Hamish - you are different on your inside to your outside

Tommy - It can depend on the soil that the flowers are growing in Hannah - Or, maybe it's the bugs in the soil Xavier - Or maybe the sun and sky can change the colour of the flowers Tommy - Maybe some face the blue sky and some face the yellow sky Students sketched designs and used clay to create three dimensional models. They then combined their ideas with partners. This presented a challenge as they had to collaborate and mould their ideas without losing the essence of their individual personality. They finally constructed their tree house model using only wood and natural materials

Julian - We had to fuse the ideas together to build one big tree house. We solved problems by discussing solutions like leaving some parts out.

Mitch - You needed to balance the wood so it would stay in place. We had to measure the height of our structure.

This year we delved into the wonderful world of collections.

We discovered that we were surrounded by them. Some were useful, some were historically significant and some were just plain cool! Did you know a group of people can be a collection too? It just so happens that 2A developed into a collection of authors. All year we were hard at work during Writers' Workshop, fine tuning our use of language and turning our marvellous ideas into a collection of written pieces that would be sure to capture our audience's attention. The theme of collections also heavily influenced our numeracy learning where we developed sophisticated counting strategies using collections that we had made ourselves.

The Melbourne Museum was our first excursion stop and what a stop it was. We explored a huge range of collections: big and small, old and new, and to our surprise we saw some special collections that were alive! This theme was a fantastic springboard into our research question: How do living things grow and change? So to find out, it was time to hit the books.

However, not only did we hit the books, we scoured the internet using our carefully honed research skills to compile an interactive lap-book to share our learning with others.

It sure was hard work, but we all agreed that it made our achievements all the more satisfying.

The hard work and challenges didn't stop there. During Digiknow we plugged ourselves into the mainframe and began our coding journey under the guidance of Mrs McArthur and Mrs McGucken. We used simple programmes like Scratch Jr and OSMO to develop our skills. This really put our problem solving skills to test, but as usual we worked together to navigate these challenges. We learnt so much about technology and most importantly we had a great time doing it.

2016 has been a year filled with fun, enthusiasm and new discoveries. We have succeeded in becoming a collection of learners and most importantly we have created a collection of memories, some of which will remain with us forever.

2B started the year with a unit of work called, Learning To Learn. During this unit we focussed on what good learning looks like and came up with a class motto to guide our learning and thinking throughout the year.

Class motto 'We are a community of learners who believe in themselves, shares, collaborates and creates the future.'

A definite highlight of the year was going to the Melbourne Museum. Our parents joined us for this excursion and they helped us to explore the vast collections. The installations that inspired us the most were those that highlighted the wild and wonderful world of animals. Therefore, our focus for Term Two involved an investigation of the animal kingdom and the children chose an animal to research. Our guiding questions were: • Do animals belong to different groups or collections?

• Where do animals live?

• What do animals eat?

• How do animals grow and change?

• Who or what is influencing the survival of the animal kingdom?

During Digiknow lessons the children used the internet and non-fiction texts to find the answer to these questions.

The children in 2B compiled all their information as a word document and this was printed off and published as a book (see above). The children presented their published work to their parents during Student-led Conferences.

The first day of Term Three was so windy that it pushed all of the furniture outside our room against the wall of the classroom next door to us. What did this? How did this happen?

This inspired our next investigation, May The Forces Be With You. During this unit of work, we explored the forces of push and pull, gravity, water and air. One of our favourite activities was making paper windmills and helicopters.

Finally, it was with great sadness that we farewelled our good friend Rueben. He and his family returned to Canada during the year. He is very fondly remembered by everyone in Year 2B.

In 2C our overarching reference for the year has been linked to the concept of 'collections'. In Term 1 we dissected, discussed and discovered what collections are, what they mean to us and how they are important in preserving and representing our history. This culminated in a wonderful trip to the Melbourne Museum. As a result of the children's wanderings and curiosity, Term 2 saw us exploring collections of animal groups that we had seen at the museum. We continued to enjoy sharing a variety of collections that were important to us and that is when one member of 2C decided to share their collection of Roald Dahl books.

It was here that we began a wonderful literary journey with one of the world's most renowned authors who would have been celebrating his 100th year had he still been alive.

Throughout the year we have read; James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, George's Marvellous Medicine, Fantastic Mr Fox, The Witches and Danny, Champion of the World.

We explored the similarities and differences between the books using a huge venn diagram and made character portraits about our favourite characters in each of the stories we read. We also plotted the geographical position of the settings of each story which ranged from London, to New York, to Norway.

In Term 3 we embraced the Olympic theme and based our inquiry into the collection of sports that were involved in the Rio Olympic Games. We took the scientific angle of 'forces' to understand how push, pull, friction and gravity were involved in the different sports. Each child chose their own sport to investigate and created a poster to demonstrate their knowledge of forces involved in that sport.

Finally, a huge highlight in the latter part of this year has been the arrival of iPads to Junior School and the introduction of Digiknow classes once a fortnight. During our StudentLed Conferences, the children proudly demonstrated their mathematical problem-solving and presented stories they had written using the app Explain Everything. The iPads have definitely shown us a wonderful way to document and showcase the learning at each year level.

Our year began with a focus on our school motto 'Sic Itur Ad Astra' - 'thus one journeys to the stars'. Early on we established a culture focusing on reaching for the stars and in doing so we strive to do better than our best. Throughout the journey we have been mindful to recognise, value and respect the significant role our friends, parents and teachers play in helping us.

We have explored many big questions and worked collaboratively to seek answers. Learning together as learning partners has enabled us to guide, support and teach each other as we unpack and wonder about our world. The questions, curiosities and wanderings of a Year One child are endless.

Our highlights include: Merissa: I love going to school because it's all fun.

Oscar Roydhouse: I like playing ChatterPix on the iPad and I like doing Book Creator and Photo Booth.

The children researched the defences and disguises of sea creatures by sketching, singing, acting, animating and reading about the sea and its' inhabitants during Term 3. Some highlights for the children during this investigation were adapting and singing our 'Sea Sea Sea' song at assembly and visiting the Marine Discovery Centre in Queenscliff to touch and feed rock pool creatures.

Xaidy - Some creatures can have weapons like jellyfish and pufferfish and sharks but other animals cannot have weapons Eva - Weapons can be teeth or a spikey thing on the back of a fish.

Charli - Jellyfish can sting other creatures that are dangerous Isabella - They can hide in rocks and coral Holly - They can hide and disappear so they don't get eaten Emily - yeah, they camouflage. Some octopuses can camouflage when danger comes. They can sting other fishes but crabs have shells to protect them.

Oliver - Some creatures can protect themselves with Armour. So crabs have Armour because it is their shells.

Will - Or they could escape. When there are enemies they could shoot off from it like a rocket. They use their tails to go fast or their fins if they have them.

Arnav - Octopuses escape with ink going everywhere. It covers over the animals around them Brian - and it covers them so they can't see very well, so it's a weapon and they can get away easy Jack - They can escape by swimming very fast and they can hide in the stones

Katie - If animals were blue in the sea they can escape because if a shark was nearby and a fish was blue, the shark wouldn't see the blue fish because the sea is blue.

Isabella - they can escape to their homes like their caves Amelia - Some animals can get stuck in nets and they can use their weapons which are teeth and they can chomp the net so they can get back home.

Zac - The animals that could get attacked by a shark could try to swim very

fast and if it didn't work it could camouflage itself in coral like a seahorse.

Our Term Two provocation for learning was the phrase 'Inside Out'.

Felix - The movie, Inside Out, it's about feelings in your head.

Emma - You mostly look in the inside of people because you imagine what they are like and you know what they are about.

Cassie - The other day it was windy and I had to put on my socks. They were inside out and my daddy had to put them the right way.

Nina - Maybe we could get a big x-ray machine on the Smartboard. That would be pretty fun.

We had a visit from Dr Jones, who taught us about inside our bodies and Dr Roydhouse, who showed us inside our eyes.

Mr Saunders also took a computer apart piece by piece.

Charlotte - Clem's dad came in and we saw all Clem's dad's tools.

Jack- Clem's dad showed everybody inside the eye ball.

Grace - Inside the eye there is actually a little dot called a pupil and when you shine light on the pupil it goes small.

Lennox - Inside the computer there are lots of nails and sometimes you might see them and you can also see the motherboard. It helps the computer to work.

Ramsay - The blood actually moves the air around your body to keep your body moving.

Chloe - The skeletons can't move because they don't have muscles and they flop around everywhere.

This talk of bones led us to dinosaurs and fossils.

Yoseph - Fossils are bones and they are dinosaur bones and animal bones. They are underground.

Liam - They are like little things from the olden days when dinosaurs died and then a little bit of dust gets on them and they get buried.

We visited The Geelong Wool Museum to look at fossils and dinosaur bones. Subsequently this experience led to our Term Three investigation, "Underneath".

Clem - Underneath the ground there is heaps of magma and rocks are made out of lava.

Cameron - There are volcanoes and magma and underneath the magma there is lava from volcanoes erupting under the ground. If you dig deep enough, not to those things, you can find gold.

Stella - Underneath the ground if you dig deep enough you will find gold and rocks and golden nuggets. If you dig even deeper you will find train tracks but you probably won't find trains.

Harriet - Under the ground you can find gold and silver and magma and you can also find underground trains but it is very rare to find underground trains.

In Prep C the children's learning throughout the year was guided by three words; inquire, investigate and imagine. With these three words as provocation for their discoveries, they were able to work as they played, see fantasy alongside reality, build on scientific understandings by imagining, and reason as well as dream. These opportunities allowed the children to use many of their hundred languages to extend their already vast knowledge of their world.

One day, presented with a very large and ancient looking skull they began to imagine what might have been on the outside of it. The general consensus was that it was most likely the skull of a dragon or a dinosaur. The children each made a sketch of the imagined creature and then at our class meetings we started to focus on sharing our knowledge of dinosaurs and seeking to find out more. By reading, watching short videos, recording ideas in writing and with illustration the children began to compile a wealth of knowledge as well as ponder questions, such as: How do we know that dinosaurs existed if there were no people alive when the dinosaurs were? By looking at bones how can we tell what a dinosaur looked like on the outside? How big were dinosaurs compared with the animals we see today?

The children found information from books and then measured out the size of a 12 metre Tyrannosaurus Rex during a maths class and found out, as they moved further down the hallway with their 704 Unifix blocks that a T Rex would definitely not fit in their classroom!

The picture book Tyrannosortof Rex inspired the children's desire to create 3D models of the dinosaurs they had drawn.

Thus, the Boxosaurus project was launched and the children with the help of their parents constructed giant sized 3D replicas of their imagined creatures and displayed them in the Museum exhibition 'Boxosaurus' in the Prep C classroom.

This project integrated learning across all curriculum areas, engaging both children and adults in a way that encouraged thinking, listening, playing, speaking and most importantly marvelling at the world around us.

EL4A Languages from

the Land We embarked on a joint learning project throughout the Early Learning across the duration of this year exploring the idea of Connection with Country.

With children, the first connections to country were made literally. Children were immersed in the immediate and local land through Enviro, Cubbies, Mud Kitchens and time spent in the bush at Mokborree. This allowed children to develop their appreciation for the land, therefore being open to seeing its importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Whilst at Mokborree children's delight and engagement was obvious. We took time to foster this awe through unstructured periods of play and discovery.

By our next visit to Mokborree we had said goodbye to our friends Luisa, Lucy and Bill and welcomed Zane and Imogen into the group. During this visit to Mokborree we listened to traditional and contemporary stories told orally for authenticity to Aboriginal ways of doing and being.

Back at school we shared these stories several times over the coming days. As we introduced symbols from the Dreaming to children, they began to understand that Aboriginal languages were mainly shared using the spoken word or symbols.

As we listened to the stories being told we invited children to explore the creation of their own symbol system, based on the tale they were listening to. We revisited this experience many times and noticed that not only did children's general drawing skills begin to rapidly increase, they also became adept at using symbols to retell intricate parts of the stories.

Children are now taking on words that have been embedded from a range of Aboriginal languages and speaking about what life can be like now for all Australians, including those of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent.

You can't tell if someone is Aboriginal just when you look at them... you just have to talk to them to find out...

But they might only speak their own language...

Well then, you have to find some other way of doing it... you could draw pictures to show them what you mean!

EL4B A Connection to Country and to Each Other Belonging and a strong sense of wellbeing are integral parts of our experiences at Early Learning.

This year we have explored our natural world in many different ways. There was time spent with our year 4 'Enviro' buddies who helped us plant our own veggie patch and taught us about nude food. We explored fresh produce through tasting and preparing many different local products. This culminated in a shopping trip to Geelong Fresh Foods, a farm visit and then celebrating with a nude food breakfast back at Early Learning.

We explored Indigenous culture through stories, art and nature. Spending numerous days at bush kinder and visiting the Melbourne Botanic gardens furthered our understandings and promoted awareness of the first people of this land.

Experiences like these allowed our children to make connections with their natural environment while also creating relationships within our community. When we spend time together with nature , we not only have fun - we get dirty, take risks, listen, persevere, wonder, make new friends, use our senses to explore, share our ideas, learn something new and most importantly - share ourselves and our curiosities with others. It highlights our belief in the capabilities of children. Letting them take the lead with their learning and understanding that they come to us full of capabilities is essential in providing a nourishing and sustaining learning environment.

EL3A Exploring Light A major project in EL3A began when we noticed the children's interest in light and reflections in our classroom. Our Interest in Reggio Emilia encouraged us to observe and listen to children's ideas and theories and promote further learning through setting up the learning environment.

Teachers created a 'lightscape' which ignited much exploration and investigation into light, reflections and shadows. The children enjoyed experimenting with light sources including lanterns, torches, overhead projectors and many different lamps.

Using their 'hundred languages' they set about creating visual representations through drawing and painting. We read many non-fiction and storybooks about light, and explored an Aboriginal dreamtime story about the origins of the sun rising and setting. Teachers recorded some of the children's thoughts about light: Light makes you see.

It shines so we can see and not step on bugs.

The sun is bright light, and storms make light.

Last time I went somewhere I saw electricity inside.

You couldn't see where you are walking and trip over it.

Why does the light go off when it's cold?

If you use too much it will run out and we will have to buy some more.

I have a torch, it has full batteries. It has Bf I have electricity at home - I don't need a torch.

If you have the light off and eat lots of carrots you could see in the dark!

Our project work concluded with a special night at Early Learning where we celebrated our learning with dinner and an exciting torchlight walk around the school grounds. Many children commented 'this is the best night of my life!'.

EL3B Storytelling 'We tell something and then it is a story' was the initiating quote from one of the EL3B children that instigated the development of our project on storytelling called Let me tell you, developing our own stories.

In their play, the children immersed themselves in narrative as they acted out stories they had heard, asked each other to join their stories while developing their own versions and creating new ones. We built on our emerging knowledge of stories and how they work through exposure to stories from books, film, teachers acting out and developing of our own narratives, individually and as a group in our morning meetings.

We thrived on participation in stories and loved dressing up as the sheep from Mem Fox's book, 'Where is the Green Sheep' for book week.

As our project grew, we asked ourselves, who would be the ultimate storyteller for us to share with our children. There was no question as to who to ask - our favourite, Tanya Batt.

'Do you want a scary one, a slow one, a fast one, a high one, a low one, one about a princess or one about a mouse? What kind of story would you like?" sang Tanya Batt at the beginning of her session.

Early Learning 38 were able to develop their own story with the use of Tanya's Story house, about a spotted dinosaur called Leaf and his adventures while running away from a t-rex who wanted to eat him. The children were engrossed in the stories and theatrics of Tanya's unique story telling style and character. A great experience for the children and teachers alike.

We would like to thank Tanya for inspiring us all to bring more of the magic of stories into our lives.

Senior School Music The Senior School Music Program is multi-faceted and caters for the broadest range of student interests and proficiencies.

The classroom program provided many opportunities to explore different musical genres, experiment with playing different instruments, writing and recording original songs and instrumental compositions, and utilising technology in composition, aural training and music theory skill development.

Research work allowed students to explore topics of their choice, including musical instruments and different genres of music. The VET program in Year 12 saw two groups complete their two-year musical journey with some excellent original material being produced. The extensive extra-curricular program included a range of vocal and instrumental groups, large and small. On Tuesday afternoons, in particular, the String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra and Concert Band brought together students from Year 9 to 12, and on Thursday and Friday mornings the sound of the Stage Band and Choir filled the building. In addition to the regular Music Evenings held each term, where students in the class program and other soloists and groups were able to hone their performance skills, there have been a number of significant other performances in and out of the school.

Some highlights included: The Stage Band and Pegasus Singers participated in the 'Generations in Jazz' Festival held in Mt Gambier and gave confident and polished performances in Division 3. The Pegasus Singers achieved an excellent result, gaining a 2nd place and the Stage Band a very creditable 6th placing from a large number of groups.

House Music, held during Term 2, was adjudicated by Kym Dillon and the competition was as intense as usual with excellent performances, particularly in the small group section. Congratulations to the 2016 winners, Shannon House.

• The Symphony Orchestra presented the annual joint concert with the Junior School String Orchestra, concluding the program with two combined items. The senior students take seriously their role as mentors in encouraging the younger players to achieve their best.

In the annual Foundation Concert, the Concert Band, String & Symphony Orchestras, Stage Band and Choir gave wonderful performances covering a wide range of styles. Our Music Captain, Amy You, gave a stunning performance on the violin in her concerto performance with the Symphony Orchestra.

Both the Senior School and Middle School Stage Bands gave award-winning performances at the Geelong Show, with the Senior Stage Band taking 1st prize and the Middle School Stage Band taking 3rd prize.

The performance program for the year concluded with a Christmas Concert held in the Keith Humble Centre and a Carols Service in the Chapel, featuring choral and solo items from our Senior Choir and Community Choir.

My sincere thanks go to all Senior School music students, but particularly our departing Year 12 cohort, ably represented by Music Captain Amy You, for their contributions to the musical life of the school this year. They are well on the way in their musical journeys and I look forward to hearing from them in future.

Middle School Music There have been many highlights at the Middle School this year, both in the ensemble and classroom music programs.

Students constantly learnt new skills, composed original music, applied technology in music, reached great choral heights and played instruments together to create a positive and vibrant environment.

Utilising their knowledge of orchestral instruments after their encounter with the MSO, the Year 4 students designed and made their own instruments using natural and recycled materials. The results can be heard on this year's Enviro CD, recorded for posterity in songs with student written lyrics about their Enviro experiences.

Students had the opportunity to rehearse in multiple age groups and formed unique bonds and friendships. Ensembles that were offered included the Guitar Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, String Quartet, Primary and Secondary Choirs, Rock Band, Vocal groups, String Orchestras, Concert Band and Stage Band. Throughout the year these groups performed at Music Evenings, Chamber Music Evenings, the Foundation Concert, assemblies, Music Competitions, senior citizen homes, the Geelong Show, Christmas services and parent dinners.

The Year 5s explored improvisation, composition and ensemble playing through their instrument learnt as part of the Allegro Program: a wonderful opportunity to learn a new instrument or extend skills on an old one whilst playing with friends. Strings, trumpets, clarinets, trombones, flutes, a saxophone and a bassoon all combined for a whole year level final performance at Senior School in November.

We have had the privilege to witness incredible performances and share the joy of music-making within and outside our school community. It has been inspiring to observe our young musicians rehearse and work hard to achieve wonderful results. The joy, passion and enthusiasm of our music students is always evident and inspiring to watch!

It's also been another full year of classroom music making at the Middle School; we've sung, performed, composed, improvised, moved, listened, played the drum-pet... Hang on, played the drum-pet? Yes indeed!

Performance was also a focus for the Year 6 students, who designed an act and then performed it for an appreciative Junior School audience. Earlier in the year they had composed their own raps, which they also recorded.

The Year 7 students put themselves in the place of a songwriter and pop star and also were given the opportunity to learn brass and woodwind instruments in the Instrumental Discovery Program.

Year 8 students formed student bands in Chartbusters and explored composition techniques using keyboards and music software programs.

2016 proved to be a great adventure and a very creative year.

Junior School Music There have been many musical activities this year for all of the students at Junior School, both in the classroom and in the extra-curricular program.

Music literacy is a vital and important component of the classroom program, as students learn new musical skills and share their learning in instrumental and choral activities, Kodaly games and movement exercises. The students looked forward to their Performing Arts Evenings where they could demonstrate their musical learning. The Year 1 students attended the Bush Dance which was an energetic night enjoyed by all who attended, including all of the teachers who were inspired to show off their dance skills. The Year 2 students impressed their audience in their excellent Strings Program performances in Terms 2 and 4 and the Grade 3 students performed on their individual instruments and sang their own anthem which they wrote for their Performance Evening.

Junior school students have had many opportunities to share their love of music and performing this year, including assemblies, Performing Arts Evenings, Chapel Services, the Combined Senior School and Junior School Orchestral Concert, numerous lunchtime concerts and, of course, the Foundation Concert in Term 3.

To conclude the year the Christmas Service was a time of reflection, highlighted by beautiful singing and the Nativity play.

The Junior School Orchestra gave several significant performances this year, including the annual combined concert with the Senior School Symphony Orchestra and the Foundation Concert at Costa Hall. The Orchestra rehearsals each Thursday morning were a hive of activity as new pieces were tried and ensemble skills developed. The 'Mini Singers' and 'Singing Sensations' choirs also lent their beautiful voices and choreography to very entertaining performances at the Foundation Concert and at the Term 4 Music Evening. Friday morning choir rehearsals were always uplifting and energetic, full of activity, fun, movement, and lots of singing. It was always an enthusiastic way to start the day with these spirited and driven ensembles.

My sincere thanks to all the instrumental and classroom music teachers for the commitment and energy they provide throughout the year to inspire the Junior School students.

Cricket The 1st XI cricket season finished with 4 wins and 6 losses.

Jeremy Carruthers was the star on debut at Caulfield, getting the team across the line for their first win of the season. Our second win came in the first two-day game of Term 1 against Carey, which provided great confidence to the team heading into the next 6 two-day games on our fixture. Apart from the Carey match, the team battled through a tough run of losses, going down against Haileybury, St Kevin's, Geelong Grammar and Melbourne Grammar in consecutive weeks.

This challenged the team both physically and mentally. We responded well and won the final two matches.

Some good individual performances included Dougal McKindlay's superb 4/8 off 16 overs against Geelong Grammar, Tom Burke's hat-trick, becoming just the 6th person in the College's 1st XI history to take one, and Charlie Sprague's patient 40 against Brighton was a significant contributor to us getting the 298 runs and the 6 points. This match was one I'm sure no one in our side will forget for a long time to come.

George Vincent and Jasper Bingham both enjoyed excellent summers. George's consistency is to be commended; his efforts with the bat and ball throughout this year were terrific, highlighted by his brilliant 5/31 against Wesley. Jasper showed his all-round ability, consistently showing fight to give our school a chance and leading by example on many occasions.

Thanks must go to our TIC, Mr Gilby, Manager, Mr Terry, and Head Coach, Scott Lindsay, for their work throughout the season.

The 2nd XI enjoyed a very competitive season, winning three games. Charlie Wootton consistently got starts and forced his way into the 1st XI with a top score of 44. Oscar Brownless and Paddy Taylor were accurate with the ball and took many wickets throughout the season. Paddy also played a number of 1st XI games. Sam Crozier made good contributions with his spin bowling throughout the summer.

Another great contributor who also forced his way into the 1st

XI was Jeremy Carruthers who made a wonderful 62 against Xavier to lead us to a memorable victory. One of the highlights of the season was a catch taken at cover by the agile Sam Conway. Diving full stretch and horizontal to the ground, Sam took the catch of the century in front of an admiring Geelong College crowd. Special thanks must go to coaches Josh Beaton and Lee Jarvis for their encouragement and support of the team this year.

The 3rd XI enjoyed their cricket this season and were competitive in most matches, winning a couple along the way.

Some highlights included Billy Zebra-Hutchins hitting the winning runs with a ball to spare vs Caulfield Grammar, Lochie Hosking's 51 * vs St Kevin's College, Cooper Hosking's 44 * vs Melbourne Grammar School, Leo Alveal's great fielding, and Lachie Stokie being a consistent run-making machine. Hamish Bulford played some glorious cover drives and Hugh Mitchell bowled with precision. Thanks go to coaches Steven Anastasiu and Ian Sahlstrom for making the season so enjoyable.

This year the lOAs had a challenging season in a tough competition. They did extremely well to win one game. The highlight was the great win over Geelong Grammar School.

Some individual highlights included: Charlie Sprague's 85 in our win against Geelong Grammar, which earned him a call-up to the 1st XI; great bowling performances from Ned McHenry, Jamie Morwood and Ollie Murphy throughout the year; Liam Duffy taking 4/3 against Geelong Grammar and making 68 against Brighton; and Tyler McHarry claiming a hat-trick during the final overs of Caulfield's innings. Fraser Locke's leadership was invaluable to the team this year. Special thanks to the coaches, Mark Bowning and Justin Stojanovski, for developing our skills and making us better cricketers.

The 9A cricket team had a challenging season but had some really good individual and team performances.

In the game against Scotch College, Ben Searle took 4/10 of 5 overs, helping us bowl them out for under 100. Lachie Jones made 37 and took three wickets against Carey. Tim Lazarro was on a hat-trick in the same game. Charlie Mitchell (29) and Nick Horoch (21) both batted very well against a strong Haileybury attack. A great partnership between James Potts (31) and Cameron Primmer (57) set us on our way against St Kevin's. However, we fell just short of their score. Thanks must go to coaches Ross Price and Brendon Parker for teaching and guiding us with their cricket knowledge.

The Year 9B team demonstrated amazing improvement in their cricket throughout the season. Some highlights included Nick Koroneos' 14 out of our total score of 34 against St Kevin's, two great catches by Tanna Comben whilst wicket keeping against Wesley, the team making 60 against MGS and Luke Grana taking 2 wickets, and Ethan Parkhill making 16 in the final game against Xavier College. Huge thank you to Pete Adams and Laurie Lee for their great coaching, patience and guidance they gave the team.

Gus Boyd, Captain

The College team enjoyed a very successful week, winning the 50-over competition (the Houghton/Phillips Shield) for the third year in a row after going undefeated throughout the three games. This was a terrific effort by the squad considering the extremely hot weather conditions. We also won the inaugural T20 shield after convincingly winning our first T20 game, followed by a draw with Scotch College.

Some stand-out performances in the 50-over competition included a century against Scots College by Captain, Gus Boyd and a five-wicket haul by leg spinner Grant Philpott in the same game. George Vincent made a fine 40 not out against St Andrews and he was well supported by Jeremy Carruthers with 35 and Gus Boyd posting 50. Jack Henderson took a match-winning 4/12 against Scotch College, while Jasper Bingham (48) and Jeremy Carruthers (34) both batted well.

The week concluded with the two T20 matches. College defeated Scots College comfortably in the first round, with Gus Boyd making his second century of the week and Jack Henderson again taking wickets with 3/23.The second match was unfortunately washed out when we were hit with a mighty thunderstorm.

Congratulations to Gus Boyd on being awarded the 'batting award' as the most outstanding batsman for the festival.

Trans-Tasman Quadrangular Cricket Tournament 2016 In January 2016 a squad of 14 Geelong College cricketers and two staff spent 6 nights at Scotch College in Adelaide to compete in the annual Trans-Tasman Quadrangular Cricket Tournament between St Andrews College, Christchurch; Scots College, Wellington; Scotch College, Adelaide; and The Geelong College. The week consisted of three 50-over games and two T20 games.

A big thank you to Mr Michael Terry (Team Manager) and Scott Lindsay (Coach) for accompanying the boys for what was a really valuable week of cricket and team building.

Rowing The 2016 rowing season was an incredible and successful experience with 188 rowers from Years 9-12 participating.

Notably this was the second-largest program in the APS system, with 27 crews that achieved some amazing results.

It has been a privilege to be part of The Geelong College boatshed. Our experiences with crew members and coaches are moments we will remember for the rest of our lives. An important lesson learned by many rowers during their years of involvement is that even though rowing comes with the obvious hard work, pain and the need for resilience, it is these characteristics that make our sport all the more rewarding.

It has been amazing to see the Year 9s and 10s continue to improve and grow throughout the season. Their enthusiasm and hard work has paid off. It has been great to watch their exciting energy spread through the boatshed as they realised what they could accomplish with hard work and dedication.

Our girls' crews achieved some impressive results with many placings at each of the regattas throughout the year. The girls' 1st VIII achieved a rewarding 3rd place at the Heads of River while the 3rd girls also had a great row to claim 2nd place.

Special congratulations go to the girls' 2nd VIII who have achieved incredible results. They won 6 medals, including 1st place in both the A-final at the Heads of the River and the New South Wales State Championships.

The Year 9 and 10 girls were also very successful. The Year 10 Division 2 crew maintained an undefeated season. The Year 10 Divisions 1, 3, 4 and 5 crews all finished in 3rd place at the Heads of the River, while the Year 9 division 2, 4, 5 and 6 crews also placed in the A final of their respective divisions.

Similarly, the boys' crews had some great results showing promise for the future. The 1st VIII had their best result of the season at the Victorian State Championships where they claimed a bronze medal. The 2nd VIII had an impressive row at the Heads of the River. Coming fourth with 250m to go, they rowed through St Kevin's College to finish a notable 3rd place. Both the 3rd and 4th VIIIs had impressive rows in their respective divisions, rowing extremely well in their finals.

As Captains of Boats this year, we are so proud of all rowers.

The senior boys and girls have worked together consistently throughout the season, learning how to become stronger, more resilient and more accepting, and as a result, growing as people. Through many shared experiences - with highlights being rowing camp, the NSW State Championships at Penrith, pasta nights and regattas - we have matured together as a cohort and created lasting friendships.

The APS Heads of the River was a rewarding way to wrap up an intensely exciting season. The sensational atmosphere created by the College supporters was terrific and contributed to the 18 A-final placings achieved by the 26 crews that competed throughout the day. These results reflected the positivity, the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment that all of the rowers gained from this season.

A huge thank you must go to all our College coaches led by 1st VIII coaches Pam Westendorf and Andrew Cleary, who mentored and guided us along the way. All College rowers and coxswains would also like to thank our Director of Rowing, Peter Blanchfield, and supporting teachers Mr Hodge, Ms Richards, Mrs Pring, Ms O'Callaghan and Mrs Lauren McGowan. They have all committed a great deal to the positive experiences we had this season.

Boys 1st Rowing Crew 2nd Row: Matthew Jackman, Flynn Vernon, Nick Kemp, Angus Longden, Andrew Cleary (Coach} 1st Row: Alex West, James Gorell, Will Morrison, Thomas Page, Scott Wylie

All rowers and coxswains would finally like to thank all parents whether involved in the RPSG or cheering as loudly as you could. The never-ending BBQs, muffins and positive atmosphere that all parents create amongst College rowing was most notable and we thank you for all your efforts. What a truly wonderful season Geelong College rowing has had again.

As exiting captains of the boat club, we wish you all the best for the next season and hope you enjoy your time within the rowing program just as much as we have.

Katya Boness and Will Morrison, Captains of Boats

Surfing

Surf League

On the 9th of May a team consisting of 10 young surfers made their way to Phillip Island, arriving at the bus at the miserable time of 5 o'clock in the morning. This was all worth it though as we came to find out as the waves were looking super fun on arrival and the grams were frothing to get wet. The shred levels were high and we were looking forward to surfing in the tag team event. The first heat came and went and it was our time to surf when a storm of massive proportions arrived, sending the judges' tent down the beach and turning the waves to something not so good. We packed up the bus and returned to Geelong without disappointment as we knew we would get another day off to surf our heat at a later date.

On Monday 22nd February, 12 boys and 12 girls met at Cosy Corner Torquay to compete in the Schools' Surf League. In wave poor conditions, our boys and girls swam, sprinted, paddled and encouraged their teammates to finish 2nd in both the girls' and boys' divisions, winning the overall competition.

That later date was the 14th September, a delay of over 4 months. Tensions were high in the morning of the 14th as we were travelling with our long-time rival Christian College.

After arriving in Phillip Island for the second time, we had a practice surf and then it was finally time to surf our tag team heat. It wasn't a letdown as the surf was fun and the team put on a show, putting the others on notice for the final.

Rippers included the whole team, especially Jack Kay and Gus Willett as we posted a score of 68.1 which bagged us a second place and put us into the final. The final included St Joseph's, Christian College, St Ignatius and ourselves. Before the final of the boys' event, the girls' tag team took place where the girls surfed really well, but were unlucky to get 4th.

Then it was time for the main tag team final and Jack Kay got the squad off to a flying start with his aggressive approach putting us near the front. From there yours truly fell off on the power wave meaning we were basically cooked. Everyone did their best to claw our way back into contention but it wasn't to be; we finished 3rd with a score of 59.5. It was a great effort for the young team and the wrestling in the sand with the distraction of mad bodysurfing probably didn't help our cause.

Massive thanks go out to Mr Donovan and Mr Robbins for guiding our quest for success.

Henry Hutchins, Captain

Max Mauderer (Ul3) took out the flags early, following his 2nd place in the 1km run, then won the swim also. Archie Vernon (Ul4) excelled in the water, winning the swim and board. Ben Fraser (Ul5) took out the board and wade races and Bryce Newton (U16) won the board. All the boys had podium finishes in individual or team events resulting with 2nd place behind a much larger contingent of St Joseph's boys.

Grace Harris (Ul4) had a great day for the girls winning the swim, the board, 1km run and combining with Laura Ryan, Trinity Murphy and Zoe Sandner to win the beach relay. Ruby Pekin-Schlicht won the flags whilst Ellie Barr won her 1km run.

All the girls had podium finishes in their events resulting in placing 2nd behind the much stronger Sacred Heart girls.

Special thanks must go to Mrs Serrin Vernon and Lily Cox for being water safety and Grace Stewart and Layla Murrihy for their official duties, Mr Matt Taylor and Ms Georgia Scott for being team officials, and Mr David Kay for assistance with the transport of water safety boards.

Boys Swimming With the boys' swimming season starting during Term 4 in 2015, it was evident it was going to be a good year as some serious pace was seen in the pool, along with high morale. The season was filled with hard work and dedication which was seen during the weekly trainings from Monday through to Thursday and resulted in some fantastic Saturday performances by both the junior and senior swimmers.

In preparation for the APS final, Saturdays saw us travelling to Melbourne Grammar to start off the year's competitive meets followed by numerous meets at Geelong Grammar, as well as St Kevin's. These meets were important as we got a feel for our competition along with providing the swimmers with a competitive racing environment.

The 9th of March was a big one as we had the GISSA Swimming Championship at Geelong Grammar against many schools from both the Geelong and Bellarine area. The junior boys' swimming squad dominated the field, leaving everyone else in their wake as they took out the junior boys' trophy. The senior boys put in a valiant effort in their division but were just pipped at the post by our APS swimming teammates from Geelong Grammar. The boys' overall consistency as well as the girls' awesome results were able to clinch the school the overall shield for total points.

The APS finals couldn't have come at a better time as the boys were reaching peak fitness and their confidence was high after the GISSA championships triumph. It was a difficult night as our small squad battled against our big Melbourne counterparts. The evening saw us in a close battle with Carey for 9th place; unfortunately we could not pull through in the battle with Carey, while ahead of us St Kevin's took the title.

Although we finished 10th, every member of the squad made a brilliant effort and should be proud of their efforts.

I'd like to thank the coaches Dean Alchin and Mitch Norton for giving up their mornings and afternoons in dedication for bettering our abilities, the TIC, Mr Colbert, for organising all our buses and teams, and my Swimming Captain counterpart, Louise McDonald. And lastly but not least, my swimming teammates. It has been a pleasure.

Girls Swimming Girls' swimming this year has seen many successes in the water. The girls started the season in early November 2015, consisting of many morning training sessions and Saturday buses to Melbourne. Many of our juniors gave the tough Melbourne schools a run for their money, placing 1st and 2nd in numerous events and having one of the strongest relay teams in the APS. Senior girls had a fun-filled year with many achieving PBs and maintaining strong enthusiasm at trainings and on Saturdays.

The girls had only one home meet throughout the whole season. However, despite the early morning rises, Saturdays consisted of everyone being positive and trying their hardest to win. All girls were consistent on weekend meets, and had a great APS season.

The GISSA swimming championships were held on the 9th of March at GGS, where we swam against many schools from the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula area. We were very successful in both the junior and senior sections, which reflected our hard work during the season. We managed to come away with the trophies for Overall Junior Girls Champions and Overall School Champions.

Finally, we finished the season for the girls with the APS swimming finals on Wednesday 16th March at MSAC. The junior girls were strong competitors against the dominant and large Melbourne schools, which were a little intimidating in their racing suits. Although we finished 5th overall, we still managed to beat Geelong Grammar which lifted our spirits.

Standouts in the junior division included Avah Calls, Lacey O'Brien, Claire Forrer and Behlana Robinson who dominated their individual events and achieved personal bests on the night. Along with Izzy Greer, Liesel Fraser, Monique Day and Charlotte Midgely, the seniors were fierce competitors against the youth "Olympic" swimmers from Caulfield and Wesley.

Thanks must go to Mr Colbert for his efforts behind the scenes and to our coaches, Dean Alchin and Mitchell Norton, who put in many hours of enthusiasm and patience. Thanks also to the many staff helpers, Mrs Smith, Ms Henning, Mrs Cleary, Mrs Oates and Mrs Porter. The future is looking bright with the crop of promising juniors coming along. Good luck to the girls for their future endeavours in the pool.

Boys APS Diving Squad 2nd Row: Patrick Whan, Fletcher Quinlan, Matthew Bagnara (Captain), Max Lazarus, Dominic Bongiorno, Andy Deans 1st Row: Reuben Murphy, Jesse Middleton, Oliver Morphy, Paddy Heyward, Patrick Horoch

Diving The 2016 diving season was filled with many exciting new dives, lots of fun and a few hilarious fails. Many of the previous year's divers returned, although the senior boys ended up a little short on numbers. This did not end up causing any problems though as a new crop of divers, enthusiastic, excited and naive about the pain water can cause, were up to the challenge.

With the wisdom of the coaches, Meredith Boardman and George Newman, each diver was pushed to new extremes, learning new dives with impressive speed. This was accompanied by the constant drive for refinement, striving for perfection in each of our dives. Credit must be given to the coaches, as we would never have come so far without them. On top of this, they managed to make every single training session a blast, even those in the morning when most of us were still half-asleep.

The few weeks before APS finals saw a sudden and somewhat panicked rush as it began to dawn on us that our dives had to get better sooner rather than later. Despite this, all the divers pulled through, perfecting their many dives in time to put on an impressive show.

The week before the APS finals, many of the divers went to Geelong Grammar, where they competed in the GISSA diving competition. Both the girls and boys teams performed excellently, finishing with top placing in all the age groups and overall victory.

With an ace team of 10 boys and 10 girls selected, we were ready to go down to MSAC for the finals and one last shot at glory before the end of the season. The boys came up against some very strong opposition from the other schools and this combined with the nerves of competing and the fact that many of the boys were competing in an age group or two above resulted in us leaving empty-handed, but proud of what we had achieved as a team.

Girls APS Diving Squad 3rd Row: Tiana Schurmann, Katie O'Connor, Roxy Sefton, Libby Falkiner, Eliza Santalucia, Jazz Hecker, Olivia Batten, Sarah Bath 2nd Row: Jessica Malone, Emily Bagnara, Amara Bett, Emma Casey, Georgia Brown, Tijanna Young, J'Aime Osborne 1st Row: Matilda Abikhair, Bree Skedd, Emma Bates, Nathalie Mayer, India Connor, Tahlia Morel, Maeve Ryan

We did end up coming 8th out of 11 schools, beating Carey, Wesley and Geelong Grammar. Max Lazarus came equal 4th in the Open B event, Paddy Heyward came a very respectable 4th in the Ul5A event, Tom Santalucia came 5th in the Ul7B event, and Charlie Middleton placed 5th in the Ul5B. The girls' diving team was also met with an impressively strong opposition. Despite this they managed to pull through with some great placings, with Georgia Edgar, Amara Bett, Georgia Brown and Emily Bagnara placing 2nd in their respective divisions, and Olivia Batten placing 1st in the Ul5B division.

The girls achieved a fantastic result, coming in 4th overall, and falling just short of a podium finish.

I'd like to thank the coaches, George Niewman and Meredith Boardman, for all the time and effort given to our sport.

Early mornings, trying to make us understand how the dives work and putting up with being splashed countless times, were all part of their challenge. Without them, we would not have managed the success we did or enjoyed it as much. I would also like to thank Mrs Ratcliffe and Mrs Shier, who have put countless hours into setting up training times and organising the competitions. The parents also deserve a big round of applause for their contribution to our diving team by chaperoning us to and from training and competitions along with the support and encouragement they have given us. Lastly, I would like to thank all the divers for the effort put into the many training sessions and competitions. You have all made this diving season the best it could be.

Boys 1st Waterpolo Team 2nd Row: Cary Foley, Matthew Deahl, Nick Kemp, Will Morrison, Flynn Vernon, Gus Boyd, Ian Bell 1st Row: Charlie Blond, Liam Chalmers, Sam Jess, James Gorell (Captain), Dayne Jackson, Thomas Page, Ned McIntyre

Boys Waterpolo Boys' water polo was lucky enough to field three teams this year, including a Year 8 team from Middle School. With many experienced players returning, we also had some new faces who had to learn the sport quickly. The season was rather short but exciting nonetheless, as the 2nd Boys' White team did not lose a game all season. After many mornings spent training in the pool, the boys were eager to get started.

Experienced players Gus Boyd, and Nick Kemp proved to be standouts earning regular best player votes and were our top goal scorers. Other standouts were Will Morrison and Liam Chalmers who were also regularly named in the best players.

The team's success would not have been possible without experienced players such as Flynn Vernon, Dayne Jackson, Sam Jess, Cary Foley, Ian Bell, Tom Page and Charlie Blond.

The boys' 2nd Green team saw a great diversity in players as some were experienced and some who were new to the sport.

The team learned to play together throughout the season with the more experienced players helping those learning.

Stand out players were Sam Conway and Cooper Matthews.

Many of these boys will be returning next year which bodes well for the future.

For the first time we were lucky enough to field a Year 8 boys' team. These boys had a steep learning curve but are perhaps the greatest hope for the future in College sport. Best players throughout the season were Nick Symons, Ed Kol, Archie Vernon and Tom Roberts. These boys will no doubt see great victories in future years if they are able to stay together as a group as they move up the year levels. They certainly have the coaches excited.

Special thanks to coaches Dean Alchin and Kenny McCelland, for teaching the valuable skills of the game and looking after our fitness. Also to TIC Mr. Clifford and Mrs. Porter for all of their hard work behind the scenes. Thanks for a great year.

Girls 1st Waterpolo Team 2nd Row: Izzy Greer; Grace Carroll, Eliza Lawson, Liesel Fraser (Captain), Grace Stewart, Brianna Perry 1st Row: Layla Murrihy, Sophie Walmsley, Rose Cashman, Dominique Russell, Katya Boness

Girls Waterpolo This Water Polo season has been challenging at times, but the girls are no doubt much stronger for the experience. Losing a number of valuable Year 12s from the 2015 season, this year it was up the current senior students to step up and the younger girls to rise to the challenge. The season started in the secondto-last week of Term 2 this year with pre-season training.

Our girls took it upon themselves to make it to the pool in the darkness of the dawn in early June, with numbers attending trainings building steadily throughout the season.

As soon as we arrived on pool deck and saw the reassuringly familiar faces of Kenny (Ken McCelland) and Deana (Dean Alchin), as well as the new addition of Mr Clifford (aka 'Cliffo', taking over as Teacher in Charge from Mrs Porter), it felt as though we had never left and the enthusiasm to play some polo could be felt rising in the collective heart of the girls' squad.

In the lead up to the first round, nerves began to build within the group, in the lsts in particular, due to the disappointments of previous seasons. In a great show of cohesion and teamwork, the 1st girls managed a nail-biting win over Carey by a single goal. This encouraging victory resulted in a confidence boost for the girls, happy to get a win on the board early. The next week though, our newfound confidence was brought back to earth with a confidence-shattering loss to Wesley 0-17. Despite our very best efforts, our season continued in that trend, going down to extremely strong Melbourne teams filled with State players. Our last match of the season was against cross-town rivals Geelong Grammar. Unbeknownst to the Year 12s, it was to be our last match due to cancellations of subsequent games. At home on a Saturday morning with a fantastic turnout of support, the girls managed a wonderful victory over GGS by the smallest of margins, winning 9-8. This was a magnificent way for the Year 12s to be farewelled in our final season of College water polo.

The 2nds girls had a short season in 2016, winning two games out of their five against IGP and Wesley respectively. There is no doubt that there will be a number of girls from this team who will be moving up into the lsts in years to come.

The Year 9 girls' team, featuring players from as young as Year 7, showed extremely encouraging signs from the getgo, defeating IGP 14-0 in their very first match, showing incredible teamwork and unity. Special thanks must go to the talented Jess Loftus for filling in for the lsts on multiple occasions when we were short of numbers - one to watch!

The encouraging influx of younger girls at training from the Middle School showed glimpses of talent for the future. There is no doubt that girls' water polo at The Geelong College will continue to grow in strength in the years to come.

Although not all matches resulted in the scores that we hoped for, all the girls showed improvement and incredible unity throughout the 2016 season. Many thanks must go to TIC Mr Clifford, whose organization and unfailing positivity has made this season run smoothly and enjoyably. We must give thanks to our coaches Ken and Dean. Deana's unrivalled enthusiasm and constant smile made training and matches all the more enjoyable (not to mention the unfailing appearance of a certain variety of citrus fruit each training). Kenny, whose love for the game and dedication to the girls cannot be matched, must also be given our heartfelt thanks. No doubt he will be easier on next year's girls now that the Bulldogs have won the flag!

Thanks must also go to Mrs Porter whose no-nonsense attitude and continued involvement in the Water Polo program has sustained the smoothness of the running of College water polo and helped push the girls to improve. Thank you also to all of the parents involved.

Boys Tennis The 2015/2016 APS boys tennis season was an enjoyable one for those in the 1st VIII team due to the great competitiveness and never-say-die attitude of all players. Although it was a tough season, with just three of the boys being part of the team last year, there were some memorable matches, winning and losing.

Throughout the season the efforts of the team were highlighted by the steady improvement everyone showed. Even though we were winless as a team for the season, the results became tighter and tighter, including an extremely close match with our arch rivals Geelong Grammar. On this day we were equal on sets won but went down on games. It was encouraging to win eight of these sets with some very close matches going to a tie-break. A special mention must go to the two youngest in the team, Tom Kokalis and Noah Goodall-Wilson, who were a tremendous doubles pair. Thanks must go to Matthew Hicks who coached admirably, helping us greatly improve our skills and tennis knowledge. He helped keep us positive even though a lot of the opposition were exceptionally strong.

The 2nd team also had a tough, but nonetheless, great season with major improvements throughout the year. Coach Nathan Mayes provided a laugh as well as great mentoring for the boys. Ollie Manton and Kade Cullen both were repeatedly in the best players. It was also great to see the rest of the team performing well and pushing for 1st selection, which provided extra depth to all sides and allowed a great work ethic to be observed around the courts.

The 3rds, 4ths and 5ths all had great seasons with many wins being recorded on a weekly basis, and the results only got better as the season went on. The coaches, Mr Naylor, Mr Morgan and Mr Conway, all put in many hours on the courts and can be thanked for their commitment to their respective teams. The 3rds performed very well against tough opponents, with Nathan Gao a standout team member and the 4ths had

multiple great performers with Tom Flanagan and Morgan Bett often making the best players list. The 5ths Liam Brown, Calden Lyons and Ethan Braslis all performed well, helping the team to win a number of matches.

The future is bright for the College tennis program with the Year 9 and 10 teams all playing well and winning multiple matches. The lOA team made a considerable jump from the B to the A competition mid-season and had great success under the watchful eye of Phil Rich. While Sam Wood, Andrew Synoradzki and Tom Gough all led the charge, it was a team with great cohesion and every player performed well over the season.

The lOC boys could not be faulted for their efforts, winning around half of their matches under the guidance of Mrs Hallows. Fraser Bath and Jonathan Rau were both standout performers.

The youngest team of the Senior School, the 9B boys, were led

by Jordan Drew who guided the team throughout the season where they showed considerable improvement. The team worked well on the courts and tried their very best in each match. They certainly had an enjoyable season and are the future stars of Geelong College tennis.

Once again thank you to all the coaches and especially Mrs Filling who worked hard to make sure the season was most enjoyable.

Girls Tennis The 2016 Geelong College girls' tennis season was both exciting and rewarding for all involved.

This year's 1st team was comprised of girls from Years 9 to 12, some with experience on their side and others simply with raw talent. They were moulded as one by a coach who not only could talk the talk, but had actually walked the walk at the highest level. Our new coach, Evie Dominikovic, instilled the importance of mixing a cool head and competitive spirit on court, with good sportsmanship and a never-say-never attitude, which resulted in us having a terrific year with 5 wins and 3 losses. The commitment to 'the team' shown by all girls was the hallmark of our season. My vice-captain, Emma Furphy has been a wonderful role model to the entire team throughout the season. The departing Year 12 girls, Sophie Gough, Emma Furphy, Ashley Bell and Sammy Simson, all displayed amazing enthusiasm, high-class shot making and a steely resolve in the 2016 tennis season, which will undoubtedly be carried on by the young guns in years to come. Claudia Rose, Alexis Ohyama, Catherine Clark, Ruby Pekin-Schlicht, Alex Booker and Rose Hosking were all deserved team members who did not allow age to stand in the way of exceptional consistency. Good luck to these girls in years to come.

Thank you to our coach Evie Dominikovic, for the exceptional manner in which she shares her knowledge of the game of tennis. Her cool and competitive style took all girls to a new level this season The 2nd Green team proved there was very little separating the 1st and 2nd teams. The girls had an extremely impressive season and were consistent winners, improving both individually and as a team each week. Well done to the girls on such a great season. They were coached by the beloved Sue Anderson.

The equally as strong 2nd Blue team, coached by Pip Crowley, were faced with some tough competitors throughout the season. Although the girls didn't always achieve the desired

outcome, their process-focused mentality shone through with some excellent wins. Congratulations to this admirable bunch of girls on a great season.

With four wins, the 3rds showed amazing determination throughout the season. Never missing a training, these girls worked extremely hard on game improvement and reaped the rewards during the second half of the season. I would like to commend the 3rds girls and their coach, Ms Guillermina Ulloa, on a season that consisted of outstanding wins and respectable losses.

The strength of our Inter A team, coached by Olivia Rich, shows a promising future for College tennis. With eight wins and one slim loss, the girls had a remarkable season. Jacqui Greer and Morgan Cullen proved to be the powerhouses of this team and were invited to train with the lsts. Both girls made the most of their opportunity and gave the 1st girls a runaround and raised some eyebrows. Congratulations to all of the team on an exceptional season.

The consistency of the Inter B team is to be admired by all College tennis teams. Coached by Emma Nixon, the team gave the larger Melbourne schools a run for their money and are to be congratulated on a stellar season. It was a delight to see their improvement throughout the season.

To the outstanding Mrs Filling, the work you do to ensure tennis runs as seamlessly as possible is amazing. Your positive outlook and encouraging manner no matter what the circumstance is truly appreciated by all tennis girls. The parent Support Group, led by Sue Pickering, was terrific in fundraising and most importantly, continued the tradition of providing the finest morning tea of any school in the competition; thank you Sue and all other parents.

Netball The 2016 netball season was one to remember with highs and lows across every team. Two training clinics were taken by Australian netball team members Susan Meaney and Nicole Richardson. They provided players with an insight into the highlevel skills, plus the physical and mental strength required to perform at the highest level.

The 1st VII -10 girls from Years 9-12, some with experience, some with raw talent and all with gritty determination - were moulded skilfully by coach Damian Stephenson into a team with a never-say-die attitude which became the hallmark of our on-court presence. We were delighted to finish the season with more wins than losses. The season highlight was our win against a strong Haileybury side at home. A display of unrelenting determination surprised not only ourselves, but also our coach and our supporters on the upstairs balcony. The girls showed their maturity and discipline and the five-goal win was a great team result.

The 2nds Green team, coached by Jennie Mifsud, had a consistent season. All girls improved individually and as a team throughout all games and completed the season with an impressive win-loss ratio. The coach's award went to accurate goaler Lily Tehan. The 2nds Blue team showed commitment and a genuine desire to improve through intense training with their well-respected coach Ms Newett. They had a successful season and were skilfully led by a group of Year 12 girls. Louise McDonald was the winner of the Coach's Award.

The 3rd Green team, coached by Louisa Cheatley, had a challenging season. Displaying athleticism and a cool head, Claudia Rose was a worthy Coach's Award recipient. With a 50% win-loss ratio, the 3rd Blue team, coached by Amanda Ioannou, showed resilience throughout the season. The girls fought hard each week and enjoyed some impressive wins against highly ranked teams. The Coach's Award went to a deserving Kate Guthrie.

The 4ths were determined to make their mark on the competition and showed great commitment. Coached by Emma Josey, all girls showed outstanding improvement. Strong and consistent performances from Titania Mayer led the girls to victory.

The Inter A Green team, coached by Ally Lofts, had an outstanding season. Many wins against tough and intimidating opposition saw the girls grow in skill level and confidence. Jess Loftus was a worthy winner of the coach's award. The Inter A Blues, bonded extremely well, which was evident both on and off court. Consistent impressive performances from Pippi McDonald led the girls to victory. Pippi was the worthy recipient of the Coach's Award. Three hard-fought wins showed the improvement of the Inter B Greens. The Inter B Blues had a tough season and fought hard, displaying great sportsmanship.

A deserving Ellie Milner and Grace Harris won the Coach's awards.

Joint coaches Stephanie Clifford and Georgia Hughes led the Inter C Green team to victory. The girls developed and improved their skills each week. A determined Olivia Ruggero received the Coach's Award. Megan Jolly led the Inter C Blue team to a successful season. The girls' speed and agility were key areas of their improvement over the season. Pip Walpole won the Coach's Award.

Congratulations go to Ruby Pekin-Schlicht who was selected in the 2016 APS team. A special thanks goes to 1st coach Damian Stephenson. He moulded us into a formidable team hell-bent on producing a high-level performance every time we stepped on court. Finally, thank you to the Parents Support Group and TIC Netball, Petrina Porter, for all the tireless behind-thescenes work as well as continuing the tradition of providing the finest morning tea in the APS.

Softball With many new players and coaches, girls' softball has never before seen so many teams in competition for The College.

Both senior and junior softball teams commenced the season with immense excitement and anticipation and looked forward to taking out some solid wins.

Our weekly trainings consisted of two sessions where the girls would focus on our fieldwork and batting strategies and then finish with the occasional game against other teams towards the end the night. This allowed all girls to get to know one another and learn from other players around them.

Our Inter B teams included a mix of players from Years 7 to 10, and had a great run over the season with many wins. The girls should be commended for these brilliant results as they showed great dedication to the game and much promise for the future. They were very lucky to be coached by professionals Lauren Heyward, Tayla Supple and Lynne Willmott. All have many combined years of experience and their love and commitment to the game was passed onto the younger girls.

Our 3rds put in hard work at training and showed huge potential in their games and the season ahead. The girls were challenged by some very strong teams in the competition and even though not many games were won, a highlight of their season included beating Caulfield 14 to 6. The girls were coached by Shannon Dunn who challenged the girls every night by teaching them new skills whether it was batting or fielding.

The lsts, playing in the 2nd APS Division, faced some vigorous Melbourne sides, allowing us to learn and improve our range of skills. Being put through some hard training sessions, we worked on our core strength and tactics. Even though not many games were won, a lot of tight matches and nail-biting finishes reflected our hard work. Our team consisted of many versatile and compassionate players. Thank you must go to those who made this last season a very enjoyable one.

Thanks must also go to our new coaching addition, Emma Josey, who pushed us through sit-ups, push-ups, sprints and many more activities, leaving us all exhausted at the end of a training session. Emma always had something new to challenge us and, as a result, we would all look forward to training on a Monday and Thursday night.

Special thanks go to the coaches and teachers involved, Ms Kristen Pelletier, Ms Heather Green and Mrs Andrea McGucken.

With their help, wisdom and knowledge, our teams flourished allowing us to be better players.

My time as Captain was most enjoyable and a great learning experience. I will miss playing with you all but we will never forget our softball memories. I would like to congratulate all the players on a great season and to wish all the younger girls the best of luck for their many years of softball to come.

Football The Geelong College 2016 Football season produced a mixed array of results and success. The appointment of David Wojcinski as the 1st XVII coach and his assistant Jona Holt saw the growth of a new culture throughout the entire program, which we can look forward to seeing grow in the future.

The 1st XVIII had a tough season, tasting no success on the scoreboard. However, the fire in our hearts was never dampened, and we reloaded each week hungry for a win. Our Captain Alex Witherden dominated the first three rounds before suffering a devastating leg injury which sidelined him for the remainder of the year. We look forward to seeing Alex return to football in 2017 and play at his absolute dominant best. Jack Henderson and Tom Page were consistent all season, and will without question continue their dominance in the 1st XVIII next season. Lachie Morwood was tough and courageous week in, week out, while James Edmonds played exciting and electric football. Young gun Ned McHenry who proved his worth despite his young age and both he and Lachie will be massive contributors in 2017.

The 2nd XVIII also had a rough season, having little success on the scoreboard. However, there have been many commendable efforts and some consistent performers. Lachie Hosking was dominant all year, earning himself his debut in the 1st XVIII in Round 9. Oscar Malone and Tyler Castles were also strong all season.

The 4th XVIII battled all season to come away with two victories over Scotch and Melbourne Grammar. Eddie Sillitoe, Paddy Whittakers and Alex Blight were fantastic all year while Sam Crozier and Jack Holdsworth hit the scoreboard consistently.

The lOAs began their season with results not in their favour, despite a large 99-point win over Geelong Grammar. Toby Lever was consistent all year kicking a goal in all 9 of the 10 games.

Fiann Holten was also incredibly strong throughout the season.

The return of young guns Ned McHenry and Charlie Sprague from the 1st XVIII, brought a 159-point win over Xavier.

Charlie kicked an impressive 9 goals which was combined with a best on ground performance from Ned McHenry. The lOC's had a competitive season, coming away with 3 solid victories, including a 92-point victory over Xavier. Blake Coutts and Liam Glover were strong performers all season.

The 9As won three consecutive games convincingly, including a 117-point victory over St Kevin's. Nick Koroneos was strong all year, while Joey Nagle was dominant and consistent. The 9Cs had a tougher season; however, a strong victory over St Kevin's was a creditable note. Angus Jackman and Jackson Neate were strong players all year.

The Year 7 football teams developed well in their first year of APS football and won a number of games, particularly in the latter half of the season. The Year 8 players consolidated as a group, but it was very pleasing to see a number of new players in the squad. They exhibited excellent team spirit and both teams managed to win more than half their games. All players showed a keen desire to improve their skills and worked hard to represent The Geelong College in a determined and focussed way.

The 2016 was a season of progress and development for our program and the work done by all involved, players and coaches alike, should place the College Football program in good stead in the future.

Equestrian The Geelong College equestrian team had another year of outstanding results from Junior, Middle and Senior Schools in dressage and show jumping.

The year started with our first dressage day at Geelong Grammar. Genevieve Nicholson, Annabel Unkenstein, Grace Baker, Jasmine Balazs, Darcy McClelland and Maddie Salveson all competed and performed well in the individual events, with Geelong College taking out fifth place. Our next event saw us back at Geelong Grammar for the show jumping, followed by dressage at Assumption College, Kilmore. Grace Baker managed a creditable sixth overall in the Preparatory final and had another strong result at Braemar College.

The team continued to record good results at the Royal Geelong Agricultural & Pastoral Society Interschools' dressage day. Shannon Fury took out third place while Ashleigh Fury finished fifth. At the Ballarat Grammar dressage day Rosie Cooke came fifth in the preliminary dressage and this, with the help of other team members competing on the day, enabled College to place fifth overall. College also did well in the Kardinia International College dressage series.

Despite our own event being cancelled due to wet conditions, it is fair to say that all riders should be very proud of their achievements. I would like to thank all the parents and staff involved in the equestrian community, whatever the weather conditions, particularly Mr Kayler-Thomson and Ms Van Cleef.

I think we should also thank the horses that enable us to accomplish these great achievements. Further to that, we have many student helpers who are not on the equestrian team but do an enormous amount in preparation before events. This has been a very worthwhile program for all.

Boys 1st Basketball Team 2nd Row: Cameron Primmer; Jordy Dow, Max Dawe, Angus Longden, Jordan O'Leary 1st Row: Harry Breer; Caleb Brozina, Patrick Barkla, Liam Chalmers Coach: Tim O'Leary

Boys Basketball The Geelong College basketball squad consisted of three senior boy teams in the APS competition. Each team performed to the best of their ability and made the winter season and the last for myself enjoyable to all those who participated.

The lsts Boys, coached by Tim O'Leary once again had an outstanding season. We managed to go through the season undefeated for the second year running. All the team worked hard at training and improved our understanding of the game and our skill. Combining these skills with determination allowed the team to get over the line in a few hard fought matches. Year 12 players Max Dawe, Jordie Dow, Angus Langdon and myself, will leave the team satisfied with a good finish to our Geelong College sport. Some young prospects have come into the team and can hopefully fill our shoes and continue to perform well next year.

The 4ths, coached by Bianca Cheever, showed outstanding talent and sportsmanship throughout the season, gathering 5 wins and only 4 losses and a definite prospect of playing in the lsts next year. They had some comfortable wins but also some nail biters. I'm sure these boys are prepping themselves for their final year of basketball at The Geelong College, and no doubt will do their best to continue to improve and be prepared for next winter season.

The 6ths Boys this year, coached by Alistair Smith, showed their development as a team displaying some good basketball and teamwork whilst having fun through every game. Having some new Year 12s playing basketball for the first time, they improved throughout the season but however, did not collect a win throughout the season.

The Year lOB boys led by Dan Cooper, put up a fight all season but they did not manage to get the result I believe they deserved. Winning 1 game for the season, the team showed determination to improve every week and will come back next season ready to go.

The Year 9B team, coached by Mitch Pendergast, had a tough season, accumulating 4 wins over the season and 5 losses.

They never lost by more than 10 points however, proving that they will be a force in the years to come.

Overall, it has been a pleasure to lead my peers throughout the winter season. The 2016 Basketball teams had plenty of success and a great deal of entertainment along the way, as well as improving their skills at the same time. This could not have been possible without the Teacher in Charge, Mr Dale Carroll, who helped with organisation and fixtures every week.

Girls Basketball The Geelong College entered two teams in the APS 2016 girls' basketball season, a 1st team and an Intermediate team.

After the long break some girls were lacking fitness to start the season, but the Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon training sessions whipped them into shape. With amazing coaches always having new plays and a range of new skills to learn, all the girls progressively improved.

This year the 1st squad - playing in the 3rd division - was lucky enough to have Steven Wiasak step in as Coach. His talent and enthusiasm helped the team every chance he got by giving us critical feedback. The 1st team had a very good season, showing lots of talent in all areas. With the combination of Lucinda Milner's aggressive attitude on the court, Chloe Wynter's 100% shooting accuracy, Tori Wood's impressive ball handling, Emma Gorrell's great rebounding skills and Meg Suter's excellent dedication, we ended the season undefeated.

There were some impressive results on the scoreboard, with only one school scoring 10 points against us. All the girls ended the season feeling very pleased with their achievements.

The Intermediate girls also had an outstanding season and put 100% effort into both their training sessions and games.

Mr Gerard Donovan patiently coached these girls. As some were new to the sport, the more experienced were able to guide them in the right direction, showing great teamwork.

Throughout their season, with hard work and determination, all the girls were all able to improve their skills and court play.

I would like to thank Mr Carroll for all the work he does behind the scenes as TIC basketball, and the coaches, for a wonderful season. Good luck to all the girls who will continue to play basketball for the school.

Boys Soccer The Geelong College soccer cohort consisted of three senior boys' teams in the APS competition. Each team performed to the best of their ability and made the winter season enjoyable for all those participating.

The combined Year 9 and 10 team, led by Mr Flanagan and competing in the lODs, improved astoundingly throughout the year and came away with one win, two draws and five losses.

Each player was determined to play to the best of their ability, successfully taking down Melbourne Grammar in a convincing 2-0 win.

The 2nds, coached by Dan Pickles, showed outstanding talent and sportsmanship throughout the season, improving out of sight while playing in the 5ths division. They finished the season with two wins, two draws and four losses. Almost all of their matches were extremely high-scoring affairs - the highest being a 5 - 7 loss to St Kevins - showing that they were not afraid to go all-out against their opposition. After a very strong start to the season, the 2nds managed to maintain a great level of soccer led by influential Year 12s Lachlan Stokie, using his pace and experience to show the others how to score very impressive goals, and Thomas Murray who pulled out incredible saves at pivotal moments in each game.

The lsts, under coach Paul Dowling, performed remarkably in the 2nds division after the loss of ten players from the previous year. Despite losing some confidence after a big loss to a school travelling from Brisbane, the team held their heads high and started the APS season with a 4 - 2 win against Carey Grammar. The inclusion of goalkeeper Tom Burke proved him to be one of the team's best players for the year, even though he had never played a game of soccer before. Vice-captains Declan Skuza and Oscar Beaumont-Kelly couldn't have done any more to aid the team.

Paul kept experimenting with Declan to see where he was best.

No matter where he was put, Declan would do his utmost to fill that position and ultimately making the team as good as it could be. Oscar played through the season after injuring his ankle early in the year against Xavier. Despite his injury, Oscar managed to be the team's leading goal-scorer, getting himself on the scoresheet for almost every game. In the end, the team finished with three wins, two draws and four losses.

Overall, it has been a pleasure to lead my peers throughout the winter season. The 2016 soccer teams have had plenty of success and a great deal of entertainment along the way. This could not have been possible without the teacher-in-charge, Mr Kovacev, who helped with organisation and fixtures, and his general overseer, Kenny Prior.

Girls Soccer This year's Soccer season produced improved results from all the girls, showing commitment and talent in our game from all teams. Over the winter all teams trained hard, and were encouraged by the coaches to make the most of their abilities.

All the girls improved their skills, from ball control, to passing and body movement, resulting in a successful season of Soccer.

The lsts had the most successful season that The College has ever seen. They not only managed to equal the record set eight years ago with a total of 12 points, but a greater total of goals was scored and fewer conceded. As underdogs of the league, many Melbourne sides were stunned by our improvement and determination. Both Mr D'Agostin and Mr Kovacev kept us in line and the skills they taught during training sessions were evident in our games and results. The girls always put their heart and soul into matches and the crossbar challenges at the end of trainings. It was an incredible season that we will never forget.

Our 2nd team faced some very competitive Melbourne sides.

This was evident in the scores as the season progressed.

The girls worked hard on their skills and focused on game strategies. Coached by Sophie Desborough, they were challenged both in training and Saturday games. The results were not a reflection of the hard work the girls put in this season, and they all should be commended for their efforts and determination.

The Inter A team had a great season with four wins, three draws and one loss. With intensive training sessions and commitment, the girls learnt a variety of techniques for ball control and were able to apply these in a game situation.

Coached by Haylea Upton, the girls developed their skills which was evident in their play and produced excellent weekly results.

Our Junior B team had an incredibly successful season, managing to remain undefeated. The girls had some amazing wins with huge score margins against the Melbourne sides.

The girls were fortunate to be coached by Alexandra Zauli, who taught them a range of skills, which they used to overcome opponents. Both the Junior B and Inter A teams show huge potential for girls' soccer at The College for the future.

Many thanks have to go to all the parents. Whether it was early mornings or holiday trainings, they helped out wherever possible, and provided the best after-game spreads in the APS. Special thanks must go to all of the coaches and teachers involved, especially the TIC, Mr Edward Kovacev, for the coordination of all teams and ensuring that the season ran smoothly. Thanks to all of you; everyone had the opportunity to improve and grow, making the season a memorable one.

I would like to congratulate all the girls on such a fantastic season. I know it is not the end of success at The College, there is definitely more to come. Well done girls.

Girls Badminton It was a wonderful season for all teams participating in girls' badminton. Each and every player showed their determination to practise, improve and do their best, in weekend matches as well as at training sessions, and the girls produced great results due to their hard work.

The expertise of power duo Bronte Smith and Kaitlyn Ward was inspiring to watch, and Devmy Panagodage must be commended for stepping up in many games and diligently playing against challenging opponents.

The 1st team experienced some very tough competition over the course of the season, facing top-of-the-ladder teams including Haileybury and Caulfield Grammar. In spite of several close losses, we managed to redeem ourselves in an impressive victory over Geelong Grammar and then enjoyed some very decisive wins. In their single matches, Annie Dong and Kaitlyn Ward starred frequently on the best players list, confusing their opposition with well-placed drop shots and smashes.

The 2nd girls trained persistently throughout the season and greatly improved their shots while working well as a team.

Wendy Wang and Veronica Cheung were included on the best players list for almost every game, an impressive reward for their determination and success on the court. Despite some very difficult opposition teams, all of the girls fought hard for every point and learned many skills that they will use in badminton in the years to come.

The 3rd team was incredibly successful over the course of the season, with win after win against many unsuspecting teams, including Wesley, Ivanhoe and Caulfield Grammar.

Chloe O'Connor shone in countless matches with her smart court placement and quick reaction time allowing her to win many points against the opposition. Jessie Qu and Rebecca Lam were also valuable members of the group, showing fierce determination as well as ability and talent in games.

The members of each team should be applauded for their tireless efforts during the season. As a whole, everyone performed extremely well and enhanced their badminton shots and teamwork skills through playing doubles matches.

Our thanks must also go to the coaches and staff who dedicated so much of their time and care to us and ensured that the season progressed smoothly. Madame Chabant not only encouraged all the girls to strive for improvement and play strong rallies against anyone who dared to take on the challenge, but also meticulously organised each match and attended the 1st team's matches to lend her support and advice. Mme Tymms looked after the other two teams in Term 4 and Mrs Shen and Mr Lairs accompanied the 2nd and 3rd teams respectively to matches in Term 1. They were all vital to the success of the season.

George and Mim Lee were an essential part of the badminton program. Mim's gentle guidance and advice coupled with George's confident demonstrations of shots motivated the girls and their expertise taught us a massive amount about the game. Laura Jelfs' chocolate bribery, encouragement and positive attitude were also an incredible addition to training. Her direction, leadership and powerful, meaningful shots helped the teams improve their game and have fun in training.

Overall, the girls who played badminton this season, as well as the coaches, made training sessions a welcoming, fun and amazing environment. I thoroughly enjoyed playing alongside these girls as they made every match and training session a fond memory. Thank you to all the players, staff and coaches who helped make this season incredibly successful and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Boys 1st Badminton Team 2nd Row: Jack Man, Lucas Whittem, Boss Chairattanamanokorn, Christopher Billings, Hamish McCallum 1st Row: Max Chappell, Dayne Jackson, Mark Kovacev, Hayden Tam, James McDonald Coach: Mr George Lee

Boys Badminton After the departure of many quality Year 12 players at the conclusion of 2015, boys' badminton required the outstanding efforts of new and upcoming players. Each individual adequately filled their respective positions to accomplish great achievements throughout the year. After a friendly match in Term 4 with Geelong Grammar, the season began early in Term 1, where The Geelong College entered three boys' teams to endure the intensity and furious nature of APS badminton. It has been a privilege to lead various characters in 2016 through the many exhilarating matches which have shaped an enjoyable and successful summer sport season.

The 3rds Green and White teams consistently performed extremely well, with every member always giving it their all to deliver their particular team the results they deserved. These players showed good school spirit and respectful collaboration with team-mates. Notable mentions have to go to Year 12 newcomers James Waterhouse and Oscar Beaumont-Kelly for swiftly recognising their natural ability in the game and decisively winning important matches when it counted. It is also great to see the talent that is coming through younger year levels showing much promise for greatness in years to come.

Personally, I sincerely treasured my final year of school summer sport, thanks to the friendly and diverse personalities that surrounded me in the College 1st. With a team dominated

by Year 12s, with the exception of Boss Chairattanamanokorn, I have to thank everyone for their determination and hard work in every game. My biggest thankyou would have to go to Hayden Tam, with whom I have played in the 1st team since Year 10.

Hayden's supernatural talent has brought home many victories, and incredibly, he has not lost a singles match as number one seed in his three years at The Geelong College. Despite being a heavenly figure on the court, Hayden is still exceptionally humble and always encourages other members in the team.

It would have been spectacular to go through two successive undefeated seasons but unfortunately, our 1st team was defeated by a tough opposition in Haileybury ending a long streak of wins. Despite the tough loss, each person in the team contributed and performed their best, but we were simply outplayed. It was great to witness everyone's maturity in defeat and the will to carry on and win the rest of the matches in the year.

We would never have had the opportunity to compete if it weren't for Mme Chabant, who effectively organised training and matches week in, week out. Thanks also must go to Ms Shen, Mr Lairs, Mr Kristiansen and external coach Mim Lee for their enthusiasm and sound advice, significantly improving the ability of the players in the two 3rds teams. Finally, a massive thank you to George Lee who has been my coach for three years and whose coaching ability, wisdom and sense of humour have transformed me and others to make us the players that we are today.

Cross Country Team Mimmi Balaam, Charlie Wootton, Max Lazarus (Captain), Lilli Balaam

Cross Country I'm confident that most of you wouldn't be aware that there is such a sport as APS Cross-Country. It is very much like other sports involving three trainings a week and a competition on Saturday. This competition involves three races split up into girls, junior boys and senior boys. The Senior School team included Charlie Wootton, Lilli and Mimmi Balaam, and Max Lazarus. Scores are based on finishing position. The first four runners from each school in a given division are added together and the victor is the team with the lowest total score. Most schools on the day bring roughly 20-30 competitors.

Despite having the smallest team, and not being eligible for a score because we did not have four runners in each division, we still competed for individual honours. The girls' team, consisting of the dynamic duo, the Balaam sisters, had magnificent success causing upsets to other schools. Major results for the girls included Mimmi coming 2nd and Lilli 10th in tough muddy conditions against a field of approximately 110 girls from Years 7-12. A special congratulation is in order considering the depth of scholarship runners the girls compete against.

Cross-country is a fantastic winter training base for the athletics season. It would be good see a strong representation by the College in future years.

Max Lazarus, Captain On Thursday, 4 August, 27 students competed in the APS Junior Secondary Cross-country at the Botanical Gardens, Melbourne {Tan Track). The afternoon brought perfect weather conditions for running. Nick O'Brien came in 4th position in a time of 13:43. Fellow Year 7 students Skye Ellis came 2nd in 15:04 and Cassidy Bradshaw was 3rd in 15:47. In the Year 8 boys' race, Max Mauderer was the College's fastest with 14:18.

Year 8 Georgie Cullen was first home for the College in the girls' race.

Skye Ellis was selected for the School Sport Victoria's State team on the back of her performance at the Victorian All Schools Cross Country Championships, where she represented the College. Skye represented Victoria in the annual School Sport Australia Cross Country Championships in Canberra. She was amongst the best 13 to 19-year-old cross-country athletes from across Australia.

A Cross-Country team consisting of Years 7-12 students took on the challenge of the GISSA Cross-Country event on a rainy but mild afternoon. Skye Ellis and Nick O'Brien won gold medals in the Under-13 race. The Ul3 girls ran a storm of a race, winning the Junior trophy with our first four placegetters, Skye Ellis, Cassidy Bradshaw, Mille Roberts and Alyssa Kahwagi together with the Ul4 girls Georgie Cullen, Eddie McDonald, Olivia Mathias and Grace Curnow.

Max Mauderer came 2nd, receiving a silver medal in the Ul4 boys. Year 10 student Mimmi Balaam ran a strong race, winning gold in the Ul5 girls. There were great performances in the Ul5 boys' race with Ngor Aker (5th}, Paddy Horoch (10th), Jack Newnham and Will Evans-Papinski all running well. In the Senior Girls' division, Sophie Walmsley (4th}, Lilli Balaam (5th), Ruby Pekin-Schlicht (6th} and Ellie Barr (7th} completed solid races. The senior boys ran an incredibly strong race: Charlie Wootton won a silver medal, James Glover came 3rd, Max Lazarus 4th, Tom Burke 11th and Grant Philpott 16th.

These were fantastic efforts by all. It was impressive to see our students improving their performances through the winter season. Overall, The Geelong College was 3rd in the GISSA event out of nine schools.

College entered a small but successful team in APS this year; the young talent coming through the future looks very promising.

Boys Hockey The 1st Hockey team had overwhelming success this year, with eight Year 12s having their final season. The whole team put in their best effort in every game. This effort paid off with the team having their second undefeated season in a row.

Notable games included an 8-0 win over Brighton, 2-1 win over St Kevins, and some hard-earned draws in our last match against Scotch, and in our grudge match against Geelong Grammar. With nine games this season, the 1st XI finished with 38 goals scored and only seven against, one of the best seasons yet. Congratulations to Hamish Bulford, Lachlan Baensch and Nick Proebstl for being nominated for the APS team, with Nick being accepted.

The Intermediate team improved significantly this year, in their individual skills and team work as a whole. Their improvement showed as they won their first game in the second-last match of the season. The games became much closer as the season went on, with the notable ones including a 2-0 loss to St Kevins. The hard work of the team finally paid off in the end as they achieved their only victory of 1-0 against Caulfield.

Both teams' successes could only be achieved due the brilliant coaching of Scott Cullen, the 1st coach, and Mark Haines, the Intermediate coach. They pushed the players to train and perform to their best and do all that they could this season.

We must also thank the Hockey Parent Support Group for all their help, as well as the Hockey co-ordinator, Ms Utting, for an unforgettable season.

Girls Hockey Girls' hockey farewelled a large number of Year 12s in 2015, however, 2016 saw the arrival of 11 new players eager to test their skills in the next level of APS hockey, including eight ambitious and enthusiastic Year 9s. With a very new squad and a new goalie, it took a little while for the 1st team to gel as a group and adjust to the intensity of 1st-level hockey. We had a challenging season with no wins against the metropolitan schools, but despite this, we adapted quickly and finished games feeling content with our effort and improvement. The new recruits displayed their ability and the potential they have to offer in future years.

We used our training sessions to focus on the things that needed improving from each previous game. This strategy produced rewards as we improved our score against each school the second time we played them. The biggest progress was reducing our score against Wesley from 11-2 to 4-0.

Comments from parents and captains were glowing about how impressed they were by the level of competition we were providing in the second round. In each game the team showed resilience through to the end of every game. At the end of the day, they didn't let the score affect their attitude for the next week's match.

A special mention must certainly go to our Coach, Josh Bartlett, whose expertise assisted our immense improvement during the season. Despite the lack of wins, he was never disappointed in our efforts and was the most valuable asset to College hockey. His passion to create new drills for the team saw us evolve our skill on game days.

The Intermediate girls had a slightly more successful season under the guidance of their coach, Kelsey Fox. The team consisted of a mixture of Year 9, 10 and 11 players, including some beginners.

The team developed skill and precision, coming away with two exciting wins for the season. Convincingly defeating Caulfield 3-0 twice, and drawing with PEGS, indicated the team's hard work in training sessions. This shows great potential for College hockey in years to come.

I would like to acknowledge effort and dedication of all people associated with Geelong College hockey - particularly Jane Utting, Teacher in Charge, and HPSG president Noel Russell.

The tireless hours behind the scenes to guarantee that hockey runs smoothly, certainly do not go unnoticed. The Parent Support Group's delicious morning teas after our games attracted many compliments from opposition teams about how amazing they were.

Thank you to all the players of 2016. I was very proud to be your Captain, and I have enjoyed forging many everlasting friendships.

Shooting Geelong College's involvement in school shooting may not be extremely well known around the school grounds, but we do compete, and compete competently at that.

The squad, consisting of eight members, has completed in three main events across Victoria. These shoots bring in huge numbers, as schools all across the State gather to compete even schools from Tasmania have travelled to participate.

The boys shot in Yering, Noorat and Minyip, giving us a variety of shooting experiences in many different formats.

The shooting trips provide long hours in the car and not the healthiest array of dieting, but it is certainly a very enjoyable sport to be a part of.

Jack Holdsworth and Charlie Langley have been our standout performers across the year, with many outstanding efforts at our events. Jack has found himself on the podium at the Melbourne Gun Club, where he finished first. His talents were on show both in school competitions as well as national competitions where he represented Victoria with an impressive level of success.

The school shooting program offers a terrific co-curricular activity that is quite different from any other sporting experience. The boys were all extremely lucky again this year to be a part of it thanks to the great work of Mr KaylerThomson.

Gus Boyd, Captain

Golf On a chilly Tuesday morning in late May, four Geelong College students participated in the annual AGSV Invitational Boys Golf Championships, held at the Royal Melbourne golf course.

The course layout was very challenging, with the tees pushed to the back and the pins tucked away in tight positions. It was an extremely exciting experience for all of us to play on such a prestigious course. Haileybury won overall for the fourth year running with the team score calculated by taking the three best scores from each school to form a total.

We finished in 15th place, just two shots behind Scotch College.

A highlight of the day was beating Geelong Grammar, as our rivals finished 17th overall.

I was very impressed by the composure of our younger members, Stirling Shier, Max Green and Beau Bartley, who all handled the pressure of playing an exceptionally tough course very well.

This was a terrific opportunity for all involved. The support of Mr Mark Torpey and Mr Mark Cheatley was hugely appreciated and I'm sure all the boys gained significant experience from the day.

Snowsports Geelong College was represented by 41 students from Prep to Year 12 at the 2016 championships. College competed in 98 individual events and 30 team events and placed 8th in the co-educational secondary school category and 19th in the co-educational primary category. This was our best result in the secondary category since the inception of the schools' championship in 2012, and our only ever primary result.

Mollie Fernandez (Year 12) was our most decorated individual athlete, finishing with individual gold in the Snowboard GS and Slopestyle Snowboard and individual silver in the Boarder Cross events. She was also part of three successful teams.

Mollie, along with first time slopestyler Eliza Shannon (Year 11) achieved gold in the Slopestyle Snowboard teams, and Mollie and Eliza joined forces with Mardi Stapleton (Year 12) to collect silver in both the Snowboard GS and Boarder Cross teams.

Mardi and Ally Howie (Year 12) were successful in taking the gold medal in the Slopestyle Ski teams' event with Mardi collecting the individual bronze.

The team qualified 6 individual athletes for the Australian Interschool Snowsports Championships at Perisher: Mollie Fernandez, Ally Howie, Mardi Stapleton, Angelique Atkinson, Andy Deans and Holly Kearns. We also had 6 teams qualify to compete at the national level. Unfortunately, due to the timing of the nationals, many of our qualified students were unable to compete, but we were very proud of our two representatives, Year 7 student Andy Deans and Year 2 student Holly Kearns.

Andy placed 16th in the Division 3 Snowboard Giant Slalom and a fantastic 7th in the Division 3 Boarder Cross event.

Holly placed 12th in the Division 6 Alpine Giant Slalom, an outstanding result in the pouring rain!

Alongside the big success stories was real learning, with many of our students competing in ski or board racing for the first time and doing so very ably. It was wonderful to see all types of skiers and boarders challenging themselves and making new friendships over the week at Mount Buller. A huge thank you to the parents who travelled and supported all of the students, volunteered on courses, managed teams, and who came to our two team functions - hopefully they too enjoyed some time on snow and socially!

With one year under our belt we are very excited about the future of Snowsports at Geelong College and encourage all skiers and boarders to consider competing for College next year.

Girls Athletics The 2016 athletics season has been an enjoyable and rewarding one for all the girls involved. Despite the cold weather conditions we experienced at training and during our Landy Field meetings, our athletes showed their competitive spirit and determination and performed very strongly at the APS Athletics Final.

Our team achieved many outstanding results. Six new school records were established and a highlight of the morning was Mia Higgins' win in the Ul3 High Jump, where she set a new APS record. Other impressive results included wins by Ruby Pekin-Schlicht, Eliza Walsh and Mimmi Balaam. Athletes to finish in the first three places in their events were sprinters Jade Davie, Lucy Fyffe and Sophia Powers, hurdler Carly Perkins, middle distance runners Ellie Barr, Cassidy Bradshaw and Skye Ellis, jumpers Catherine Clark and Laura Ryan and shot putters Monique Day, Zoe Sandner and Antoniette EmmaNnopu. Thirty-three personal bests were achieved by Geelong College athletes on the day. Well done to those girls who competed in multiple events or out of their age group to assist the team. Special mention must go to Ruby Pekin-Schlicht (six events) and Sophia Powers and Cassidy Bradshaw (five events each) for their efforts.

The dedicated work of the Athletics Parent Support Group led by Mrs Sharon Fitzpatrick and her helpers was greatly appreciated by the squad. They provided the canteen at Landy Field and popular food and drinks at Thursday night training sessions, as well as helping to fund the new team banners.

We would like to thank all our coaches for their enthusiasm, expertise and commitment to the team through the season.

Mark Boxer, Mandi Cole, George Curnow, Steph Guy, Neale Lomas, Al Maclean, Julia Mann, Stewart Poulter, Brenton Rowe and Paul Spikers have pushed us all to achieve our best.

As always the contributions of College staff coaches Mrs Barnes, Mrs Griffiths, Mr Horoch, Mrs Jackman, Miss McKinnon, Mr Saunders and Mrs Watters have been greatly valued by the athletes.

Mrs Ratcliffe and Mr Torpey must be thanked for their organisation and guidance of the Middle School athletes, as well as Director of Coaching Mark Fountain and our Teachers in Charge, Mr. Curnow and Mr. Parkes for their dedicated coordination of the program. All the athletes appreciated their support and encouragement.

Well done to all the girls on a successful season, especially our fellow Year 12 athletes Bibi Holten, Jade Davie, Lucy Fyffe and Bridget McNamara for their contributions over many seasons.

Being a part of the Geelong College athletics family has been a great experience for both of us.

Lilli Balaam and Jessica Fitzpatrick, Co-Captains

Lilli Balaam has represented the Geelong College in middle distance events for five seasons from U13 to Open, running the 8OOm and 15OOm at the APS Finals. This season she provided a fine example in her training and competitive spirit, although illness prevented her from competing on the final Saturday. Lilli was a positive and enthusiastic Captain who encouraged every member of the team.

Jessica Fitzpatrick has competed in five APS Athletics Finals for Geelong College, making a successful comeback from serious injury last year to run the 10Om and two relays in 2016. She has been one of our most successful sprinters, setting three individual records and winning both individual and relay events at the APS Finals. Jessica was an involved and supportive Captain.

Boys Athletics Athletics is a very challenging sport and our squad has made significant progress in our ten weeks together. The numbers and enthusiasm at training and the presence of many junior athletes helped us as we battled the ever-changing weather during the season. Even the APS Final was affected by extreme winds, but our boys showed admirable determination and a willingness to work hard for the team. Each athlete showed dedication and pride as he wore the Geelong College singlet.

Congratulations to Bridget McNamara and Euan Spikers who were presented with the Mark McPherson Trophy for Outstanding Commitment to Geelong College Athletics at the Athletics Dinner. Year 12 athletes Matt Synoradzki, Tom Burke, Matt Jackman and Charlie Wootton provided great leadership and they have made significant contributions in their years in the team. Well done to all College athletes for their positive commitment this season and best wishes for the future.

Congratulations to every athlete who trained on a regular basis and continued to improve. Although we finished eleventh again this season, thirty athletes achieved personal bests on finals day. Two new APS Records were set by winners Oliver Courtnay in the Ul5 Shot Put (his second APS Record in two years) and Nick O'Brien in the Ul4 800m. Well done to athletes who finished in the top six in their events: Nick Kemp, Ned Cox, Will Anderson, James McGuire, Tom Santalucia, Hamish Poulter and Max Mauderer. Many athletes competed in multiple events to support the team effort.

Max Lazarus and Mason Spikers, Co-Captains

We have a highly skilled coaching staff and we would like to thank all the coaches named in the Girls Report for their hard work during the season. Special appreciation must go to Mr Torpey, Mrs Ratcliffe and Mr Parkes for being the team organisers. Mark Fountain and Mr Curnow provided great leadership and inspiration for the team.

Max Lazarus has represented Geelong College in the 15OOm at the APS Sports for three years. This season he provided a fine example in his training and improvement. His positive leadership was seen in his work to design and produce new athletics banners for the team and his encouragement of all members of the squad.

Mason Spikers has been a member of the athletics team for five years, competing with great success in hurdles, jumps and sprint events. He won the APS hurdles for three years in a row and set two School Records in hurdles. He worked hard at training in his final year and his four events and role as Captain made a significant contribution to the team.

Premier's VCE Awards 2016 These annual awards recognise students who achieved the highest academic results each year across Victoria. This year, there were a total of 312 awards presented across 83 subjects offered in Year 12 studies. These awards are based on study scores and the number of awards is based on the number of enrolments in each study.

The Dux of the College for 2015, Samuel Wong achieved outstanding results, including three perfect study scores of 50 and was honoured by being named as one of 26 Top All-Round VCE High Achievers for 2015. This is awarded to students who have achieved study scores of 46 or higher in at least five VCE studies from the most recent academic year and the previous year. He also received a Mathematical Methods (CAS) Study Award.

Mark Kovacev, accelerating as a Year 11 student, achieved a perfect study score of 50 and received a Further Mathematics Study Award. Mark and Sam received their awards at a ceremony at Palladium at Crown on 28 April 2016.

Congratulations to both of these very talented students.

Duke of Edinburgh Awards Three Year 12 students have this year completed the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award.

Congratulations to Melis Layik, Edith ArcDekker and Meg Blundy-Jones who over the last two to three years have completed the award. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a community service and leadership award where participants make a commitment to improve skills, and complete service and physical recreation activities. Participants also undertake an adventurous journey and a residential project where they immerse themselves in important activities and learn to manage these activities away from their home environments.

For her adventurous journey Melis spent 3 nights and days orienteering 104 km from Aire River to the Twelve Apostles and for her residential project, Melis completed a 5 day cinematography intensive course in Melbourne.

Edith's adventurous journey was spent in East Timar where she worked with students with the aim of helping them with their English language skills. Edith took on a leadership role in her residential project assisting as a youth camp leader.

Edith Arc-Dekker; Meg Blundy-Jones, Melis Layik

Meg's adventurous journey included a trek to Queenstown in NZ where she saw a welcoming ceremony conducted by a Maori tribe. The group Meg travelled with went through Milford Sound to Christchurch through Queenstown and Mount Cook.

For her residential project, Meg completed a six day wilderness experience rafting and paddling 87 miles of the Colorado river.

Congratulations also to Louise McDonald who this year completed the Silver Duke of Edinburgh award, and to past students Cameron Barr and Darcy Narita (Year 12, 2015) and Shane Jacob (Year 12, 2012) on completing their Gold Awards this year.

The Geelong College Foundation

The Foundation has had a wonderful year connecting with the College Community through a series of functions. These included our annual Foundation Members' Luncheon in March, a Cocktail Party for Past Parents and Friends, our ever amazing Foundation Concert at Costa Hall, a special luncheon to recognise and thank our Morrison Society members and Patrons, a Cocktail Party at the Melbourne Club for our Melbourne-based alumni and Past Parents; and last, but certainly not least, an inaugural Golf Day and Luncheon for the College Community at the beautiful Barwon Heads Golf Club In July the Foundation undertook a two day program of tree planting at its Fyansford property which was greatly supported

by College families, Year 4 students, parents and College Staff. It is pleasing to report that given the favourable weather conditions the trees are thriving. This will now be an annual event in the Foundation's calendar.

A significant contribution will be made by the Foundation to support College's Master Plan. This is a very exciting time for the Foundation and it is with great anticipation that we await architect John Wardle's visual concept of what I am sure will be a wonderful learning and creative space for our youngest students.

We have been delighted to continue our support of the Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation during 2016. The Centre will continue to enrich the lives of our teachers, students and the Geelong community in the years ahead and it is something that we are particularly proud of.

I would like to thank College Principal, Dr Peter Miller and Chairman of Council, Dr Hugh Seward for their collaboration with the Foundation this year. Their vision for the future of the College is one that we will continue to support into the future.

Being part of the Geelong College Foundation confirms your commitment to excellence in education for our current and future students and information on how to do this can be found on the College website or by contacting our Director of Development, Mrs Joyce Taylor on (03) 5226 3779.

Community Service

This year's community service program began by building on the strong foundations laid by previous years. After being inducted in November 2015, we - as the new Community Service portfolio - were keen to make waves. Meeting the task with the zeal of fresh energy, we began by doubling the uptake of the College's annual Christmas hamper appeal, collecting over $5000 of food on behalf of Uniting Care Geelong.

As we entered 2016, we began coordination of a traditional event in the portfolio calendar. Once again getting behind Relay for Life with the support and direction of Mrs Filling, we were able to raise nigh-on $4000, which was contributed to a cancer research grant. Additionally, through Wear to Care Day, we raised around $2000 to be distributed between the Fulfilling Lives programs, to support and nurture the school's local and international relationships.

Towards the end of term, the Shrove Tuesday pancake stall managed to get all Prefects behind the grill, flipping pancakes like they were going out of style. Before we knew it the phrase 'sorry, we're fresh out of ice cream' was rolling off the tongue.

Fortunately, with the help of Deb Brackley, we weathered the storm with poise and panache.

Following the much-needed rest and recuperation of the Easter holidays, the portfolio elected to further cement our relationship with the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation in support of paediatric brain tumour research. Running 'Brain Week', the Prefect group coordinated various activities and fundraisers in support of this worthy cause. These culminated in 'Grey Day', for which students were encouraged to come to school in casual dress, featuring grey, for a donation to the foundation. This raised over $2000.

In addition to the coordination of these whole-school events, the Community Service portfolio has striven to encourage younger students to get involved. With increasing numbers participating in programs such as 'student2student' and 'Making Tracks', this goal is slowly but surely being realised.

At the end of 2016 the Community Service portfolio continues to be an innovative and agile force striving for social change. With the Greatest Shave a central feature of our future fundraising agenda, and the continuing growth of relationships with the Salvation Army and Smith Family, there has never been a more exciting time to be part of the Community service program.

Farewells Julie Gainey Julie Gainey will be sorely missed as she leaves Geelong College after thirty-three years of dedicated English teaching and contribution to the school. She was appointed

by Principal Peter Gebhardt in 1977 and was one of few women on the Staff at this time. She remembers the early years of co-education, teaching Mark Cheatley and Deb Hynes, coaching netball with Ray Lancaster and many school trips and camps.

After leaving to teach briefly in Sydney and at Bell Park High School in Geelong for six years, Julie returned to College in 1988 when Paul Sheahan was Principal. In the years away she had married Geoff and had Natalie, with Stephanie to follow soon after. Both girls attended College from Prep to Year 12 and were the source of great pride for their parents.

Literature has always been Julie's passion - reading books, discussing books and inspiring students to love books. One of her favourite classes was Guided Reading in the Library, where her knowledge of authors and texts and her reading speed amazed her students. Julie has taught Year 12 Literature (often two classes) since 1990 as well as English from Years 9-12. Her students gained a great deal from her experience as a reviewer and examiner of Year 12 Literature from 1996-2016. Her ability to correct work quickly and provide students with prompt and perceptive feedback has been one of the hallmarks of her teaching. Julie's contributions to English Department discussions on texts were forthright and based on her strong belief that challenging students was the key to their improvement. Her love of Shakespeare and her ability to convey his ideas inspired many students. As a talented writer herself, Julie created poems for English department events and somehow found time to complete her M.A. in Creative Writing and Literature in 2012. She wrote the very successful play "Chips" for the Bicentennial celebrations and edited the school magazine Pegasus for a number of years. Her love of the arts was shown in her support for the Music and Drama programs, where she made significant contributions in the areas of costumes, stage management and publicity.

As a valued coach of Geelong College debating teams for many years, Julie's incisive mind, verbal skills and vast bank of quotations have allowed many debaters to win their arguments in all grades of the DAV competition. Her own experience as a debater helped to develop our students' speaking skills.

Julie had an extensive involvement with the House system over the years. She was an involved tutor in McArthur (1977-1980), McLean (1988), Wettenhall (1990- 2011) including eight years as Head of House, Calvert (2012) and Keith (2013-2016). Her caring support for all students and her belief in their potential were the features of her leadership. She has also worked as a boarding house tutor and made significant contributions to the Equal Opportunity Committee, the Staff Welfare Committee and the Staff Association executive. Julie's daily corgi walking prepared her very well for two long-distance Exploration Society treks on the Bibbulman Track (2005) and the Heysen Trail (2006). Her lively wit and resilience made a significant contribution to these expeditions. She has supported the Geelong College Relay for Life team since 2000, walking hundreds of laps and raising money for cancer research.

Julie has worked under four Principals at College and she estimates that she has corrected more than 50,000 essays in her teaching life so far. She has retained her passion for education and her determination to ensure that every student she teaches should leave her a little better for the experience. We thank her for her commitment to our students and wish her well as she takes up new opportunities to continue her teaching.

Farewells Coral Turner Over 31 years Coral Turner has served The Geelong College and its students with diligence and acuity. Coral is the epitome of a good teacher; she has real strength of character, is exceptionally well-informed, is articulate and, of particular importance, Coral is insightful, generous and empathetic.

Coral's natural flair for colour, design and composition led her to teach Art at Campbell House over three years. Commencing in 1986, Coral became a pivotal part of an amazing team that fostered the strong creative culture that was the hallmark of Campbell House. During 1989 Coral took the opportunity to undertake a year's professional development and to upgrade her qualifications.

After returning to fulltime work, Coral juggled teaching Art at Campbell House with the challenge of teaching Years 7 & 8 students English. From 1992 Coral made the transition to teach solely at Middle School where she became the bedrock of the learning teams in both the Art and English Departments.

In the subsequent 19 years Coral filled an array of demanding and significant positions of responsibility. Beginning in 1993 Coral took on the Coordination of Year 7; subsequently she served as Coordinator of English, Middle School Curriculum Coordinator, Year 8 Coordinator and, for ten years, Coral carried out her duties as the Deputy Head of the Preparatory School. In 2004 Coral was also appointed Professional Administrator to the then Principal, Dr Pauline Turner.

As an individual with incredible energy and focus, Coral has been at the forefront of many innovative and creative events that have garnered the interest of the whole College community. In 1993 Coral took on the coordination of the inaugural Open Day for The Geelong College which, whilst they continue today, are now run by a public relations team rather than by one passionate and talented teacher working around her full teaching load. Her capacity for organisation and attention to detail has seen Coral assume responsibility for the coordination of End of Year Festivals and Finale assemblies through to the present day. The Principal also recognised her talents and asked Coral to drive the coordination of the Preparatory School involvement in key events including The Federation Festival, the Co-education Celebrations, the 50 Year Preparatory School Celebration and the whole College Sesquicentenary Celebrations.

Coral's appreciation of the connection between the spoken word and visual imagery has been evident in everything that she has done at College. No doubt it was this aptitude that saw Coral delegated the responsibility for editing the Pegasus Magazine, a labour of love she has maintained for 21 years. In addition to the scheduling and the proof-reading, Coral has found the time to do much of the photography that has filled its pages.

As a keen sportswoman in her youth Coral loved the passion and camaraderie that team sports provides. Over the years at Middle School Coral drew on these experiences to leave her mark as a successful coach of both Hockey and Tennis teams. She also combined this knowledge with a love of travel and all things Danish by coordinating a series of five successful international Football trips to Denmark between 2001 and 2013. Likewise, Coral also played a key role as the facilitator of many exchange trips that took place between our Middle School students and their Japanese counterparts in Izumiotsu that ran successfully until 2014.

As Coral looks back on her educational journey one highlight will be when she received the opportunity to travel to New York to present a paper at the International Society of Educators of Art Conference in 2002. Coral's focus was on Visual Literacy, where she explored the work of Shaun Tan and John Marsden in the picture story book 'The Rabbits'. Her paper demonstrated the superb alchemy of interaction that existed between image and word. Coral appreciated how the book challenged the reader's perceptions, values, customs and conventions as it explored the injustices suffered by our indigenous population. The following year Coral was also the worthy recipient of a Geelong College travel scholarship which she used to attend the International Literacy Conference in London.

Coral's impact on the College has been profound. To the students and her peers she has been the perfect role model. A passionate, principled and informed educator; her commitment to the students has been even-handed and unwavering. Her dedication to the highest standards has been widely appreciated and there is no doubt that her legacies live on in the lives of thousands of students who have been the lucky recipients of her teaching.

Farewells Mark Torpey In January of 1984 Principal Mr Peter Gebhardt and Head of the Preparatory School Mr Ian MacMillan employed a young Mark Torpey as Coordinator of Sport and Physical Education from Prep to Year 8. They saw in Mark a teacher who had a great passion for a broad range of sports, and a deep knowledge of the content of his subject area.

Mark maintained the leadership of the Physical Education Department for 14 years, and was Coordinator of APS sport for 16 years. During this time he saw many young, aspirational and talented athletes move through the Preparatory School. Apart from teaching Physical Education, Mark has taught Health, History, Geography, Social Studies and English at Years 7 & 8 during his 33 years at Geelong College. As a Year 7/8 homeroom teacher for all of these 33 years, he has overseen the welfare and academic progress of in excess of 650 young men and women who have passed through the Middle School. Mark's caring nature and his commitment to school values has seen the students in his homeroom gain an understanding and respect of themselves, their peers and The Geelong College.

Mark's focus has gone beyond the classroom. His support of his colleagues was evident in his active involvement in the Preparatory School Staff Association, as he negotiated the first EBA to replace the existing Contract of Employment for teaching staff at the Geelong College. Mark was instrumental in establishing other ongoing programs and initiatives including the cultural and AFL exchange to Denmark and the very successful Geelong College Challenge. He has attended countless school camps and coached and managed a vast array of sporting teams.

A major highlight of Mark's time at the College was an exchange he undertook with his young family to Holmewood House, an independent Prep school in Tunbridge Wells, Kent in 1992/93. Mark established long lasting connections during this special time of his career.

But it is Mark's extraordinary knowledge and passion for all things sporting that will leave the greatest legacy for our school. The countless hours spent in the gym and on the sporting fields of the school imparting his knowledge and wisdom to students (and staff members!) is not so easily replaced.

Ros Palmer Ros Palmer joined The Geelong College Preparatory School in 1987, employed by Paul Sheahan as a teacher of Science and Mathematics of Years 7 and 8. After 3 years in this role she left the College and spent a year travelling overseas with her husband John. In Term 41994, Ros returned to the Senior School as a teacher of Science and Physics, a role that she has continued for the past 22 years. Ros has relished and embraced the many challenges and changes that have occurred in teaching over this time. A wonderful role model for women in science, Ros has been a committed and caring teacher and shared her genuine passion and enthusiasm for science, particularly physics, with both her students and her colleagues.

During her time at the College, Ros has been a valuable coach, mentor and organiser of many school sporting teams. She has been involved in hockey, tennis, athletics, netball, swimming, rowing and Saturday morning Rolland Centre duty. Many students and staff have benefitted and enjoyed her participation in the sporting life of the School.

Ros has also enjoyed, and been keenly involved with students in her pastoral care. She began her time as a tutor in Calvert House before moving to Morrison House. For the past 7 years she has been an outstanding Head of Calvert House.

Throughout her 25 years at The Geelong College, Ros has worked on both campuses, worked with a number of staff with whom she has formed strong friendships, and she has worked for four Principals.

Ros has two sons, Hamish and Lachlan, and along with her husband John, they have a long and close association with the Geelong College Boat Club. Ros leaves The Geelong College to pursue both new and long held interests.

Farewells Chris Dinneen Chris Dinneen (more commonly known as 'Mr D') joined the Junior School at Campbell House as a classroom teacher in 2005. After 4 years as a classroom teacher he was appointed to the position of Director of Campbell House in 2009, later becoming Head of Junior School in 2014.

Junior School benefitted greatly during this decade from an educator who was genuinely excited by young children's learning, possessing an intelligent understanding of pedagogy and an enquiring mind. Chris was committed to ongoing learning and research, constantly reading widely and challenging others to do likewise. He maintained a sense of wonder throughout his career and was a role model for students and teachers, always questioning to promote deeper learning.

Loris Malaguzzi, founder of Reggio Emilia, describes teachers as 'Professionals of wonder' and this description perfectly describes Chris.

Junior School children and families always came first for Chris, and his hard work and natural connection with young children was rewarded by devotion from the children.

His speeches at assemblies and Year 3 Graduations were heartfelt and he regularly shared words of wisdom in a way that young children could understand, while never talking down to them.

When Reggio Emilia was introduced at Junior School Chris immersed himself in the philosophy, immediately joining the committee of the peak Reggio organisation in Australia, REAIE. In this role Chris helped to organise the National Conference in 2015, as well as creating and maintaining a regional network group, hosting many meetings for local schools and Early Learning Centres. Chris used his learning from Reggio to work with staff to make children's learning visible through documentation while further enhancing the aesthetically pleasing learning spaces at Junior School.

Chris' professional Learning Project in 2015 focussed on his interest in nature pedagogy, creative outdoor learning and risky play. The 'cubby area' at Junior School evolved from this, becoming a creative loose parts play area, continually evolving under the direction of the children. Chris also promoted the importance of outdoor learning and physical education through his PE teaching, morning fitness activities, tennis coaching and the annual Year 3 camp at Mokborree.

Chris took the opportunity to further his learning through both formal and informal study whilst at the school. He completed his Masters in Education through Melbourne University, and participated in study tours to both Harvard University and Reggio Emilia in Italy.

It was an honour to work with Chris as a colleague for 11 years. Chris will be remembered as a passionate educator and mentor, an ethical leader, an incredibly hard worker, a kind and loving teacher and a genuine good friend to many at The Geelong College.

Chris is embarking on a new career in hospitality and I'm certain these personal qualities will ensure his success in his new role. We wish him all the best.

Jenny D'Altera Jenny □ 'Altera was a key member of the Careers Department since commencing in 2005. A qualified Careers counsellor, Jenny administered the operations of the Careers office for a decade, building her knowledge by attending various seminars.

She was a conduit between students, parents and Regan Consulting, and worked with Adrian Blades during 2015. Jenny fulfilled multiple roles within the College in addition to her significant contribution to careers. She was a casual relief teacher in Information Technology and, at the time of her departure, was a McArthur House tutor. Jenny was a great contributor to the school's Netball program through her coaching of players during her time at College.

Jenny is a parent of four children, Mark, Kate, Emily and Sarah who were all College students. Jenny and her family will always have a significant and ongoing connection with the College.

Farewells Sally Denahy Sally Denahy will be remembered for her warm, vivacious personality, her ability to deal positively with every student, parent and colleague with whom she came in touch and her generosity of spirit and pride in everything she did at The Geelong College.

Sally was a student at The Geelong College completing her education in 1987. She was a keen academic and a talented cox for many a rowing crew. She travelled the world teaching in London, Sydney and Perth. After researching Early Years Literacy at Melbourne University Sally returned as an Old Collegian to join the Middle School teaching team in 2002. In 2004, Sally moved to Campbell House at the Junior School as a Year One Homeroom Teacher. She then demonstrated exemplary teaching practice across Years One to Three over a total of 12 years. Sally's commitment to the emotional, social and intellectual development of her students always came well ahead of her own personal and professional commitments. She worked tirelessly to ensure all students in her care were assisted to become 'better than their best' within a warm, dynamic learning environment. Children knew she believed in them and they loved her.

Sally won the school community over almost instantly due to her ability to develop friendly and meaningful relationships with students and parents alike. As a classroom teacher and leader, Sally always embraced change with enthusiasm and vigour, seeing change as a challenge to be welcomed with passion. She led the way in modelling and incorporating the Reggio Emilia pedagogy and Visible Learning through an entwined curriculum approach. As C.A.R.E and Numeracy Coordinator Sally was always generous with her support, guidance, time and friendship - collaborating with colleagues and modelling what it really meant to be a team player.

Sally is delighted as she and Chris move from teaching into a most exciting chapter in their life as Business Owners of Circa 1902, an elegant restaurant and accommodation resort in Queenscliff. Quite obviously Sally will impart that same infectious smile, unstoppable energy and warmth into her new role.

Sally will always be remembered as a well-respected, admired and highly valued member of the Geelong College Teaching and Learning Community. Sally has held a long association with The Geelong College. Not many can wear the hat of student, teacher and parent.

On behalf of all students and staff, we thank Sally sincerely for her excellent service to the College. Her long standing friendships across the College will hold strong and we extend to her and her family our very best wishes for the future.

Christine Shannon Christine joined the College staff as Director of Professional Learning and Research at the commencement of the 2014 academic year.

As founding Director of our Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation, Christine's expertise in leadership, program evaluation and research methodology led to the development of a wide variety of initiatives across the College. Christine's passion for empowering teachers to see themselves as researchers of their own practice, has been evident in the strong partnership that has been formed with Deakin University.

She has been a vocal advocate for positioning The Geelong College as a hub for the community and has attracted many national and international guests and speakers to visit and work with our staff and students.

As a Biology teacher, Christine invited students to engage in rigorous conversation and deep thinking about scientific concepts in an inclusive and democratic environment. Her passion for doing what's best for children is matched by the way she embraced various staff mentoring roles whilst at the College. Christine leaves to take a new position as Director of Learning, Research and Innovation at St. Bernard's in Melbourne, overseeing the development of their new Centre for Professional Learning.

This move will take her closer to her loved daughter Maddi and sons Jonny and Jesse.

The College will miss Christine in many ways, however we wish her all the success in the world in her new role.

Farewells Reverend Tim Edwards Tim was appointed College Chaplain in 2014. Over the past three years he has had a powerful impact on students, staff, parents and the broader Geelong College community.

It is difficult to categorise Tim into one specific role. He describes four key areas of focus for Chaplaincy as chapel, classroom, care and community. He has led Chapel Services, Assemblies, Easter and Christmas celebrations and ANZAC commemorations. Tim has been the Master of Ceremonies for official College events.

He has conducted funerals, weddings, and christenings. He has actively supported the Sport program as a spectator, people-mover and assistant to TICs. Tim has worked closely with Prefects and student leaders to deepen their understanding of service to community.

Tim has been instrumental in linking The Geelong College to the wider community, establishing relationships with all sorts of community organisations including people working with refugees, the homeless and the vulnerable as well as people gifted in the Arts, Music and entrepreneurship. He has introduced staff to people who at first don't see the connections that he has spotted, but then, usually over a coffee, get an insight into his creative interpretation of their work. His understanding of social justice, indigenous welfare and pastoral care has been instrumental in supporting many staff, students and families through personal and professional crises. His legacy is our deeper understanding of the value of personal warmth, integrity, passion, encouragement, humour and faith.

Tim's personal attributes of love, compassion, generosity of spirit, courage, humour, coffee appreciation and voice have enriched the lives of many people. He leaves to answer the latest call from his God to care for and guide a new community in Geelong. His loyalty and commitment to The Geelong College and his beloved Dees will not wane and in his new role he will remain a vital part of our College community.

Tim, we wish you well, and in your own words: We're all in this together The best is yet to come Kick it to me Do something good

Nathan Jessup Nathan joined the College staff as Head of Senior School last year at the commencement of Term 3. From the very beginning it was clear that Nathan required no time to 'settle in', as he rapidly came to terms with the demanding nature and complex nuances related to the Head of School role. He was a visible presence in all aspects of College life and always took an active interest in the successes of students along with the challenges they sometimes encounter.

Nathan's background in other Independent Schools enabled him to establish efficient administrative processes and clear procedures that supported both the culture and routine of a very busy Senior School. He brought an impressive skillset to the role and combined this with pastoral sensitivity to guide numerous students through their occasional rocky circumstances.

Given Nathan's expertise in the area of leadership it is not surprising that he refined and improved our selection processes for and management model of a wide range of leadership positions, including School and House Prefects and Captains of cocurricular activities. More recently, in consultation with students, he also significantly improved the nature and conduct of formal and informal celebrations for Year 12s as they conclude their Geelong College experience.

A keen and talented sportsman, Nathan would occasionally be seen running or bikeriding (very fast) or umpiring football matches (very fairly) in and around Geelong. He does not often stand still, metaphorically or physically and he is someone who tends to make things happen. We have certainly appreciated his diligence, thoughtfulness and willingness to make the College a better place for us all. We offer Nathan and Kellie our best wishes as they return to Perth with their family.
