2017
The 2017 Calvert cohort has been united, cohesive and home away from home. With the new additions from the Year 9s and across various year levels, the House grew in both numbers and stature. From the beginning of the year, this was evident when entering the Calvert House, as you were greeted by the contagious smiles, which filtered through the room. This friendly and joyous culture was prevalent throughout the remainder of the year holding the House in good stead when competing in the multiple House events. The battle for the Cronk was not Calvert's strength in 2017. However in spite of the result it was not a true reflection of the effort and sportsmanship that Calvert brought to each of the events. The sporting prowess that may have lacked in the House Competitions was well and truly replaced by the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and enjoyment that the Calvert students brought to every event. This was evident in House Swimming and House Athletics as we dressed in our togas and sombreros, supporting one another, both in the pool and on the track. As reward for this exemplary participation, Calvert excelled in House Basketball, winning both the girls and boys competitions! It is fair to say, the donuts were so much sweeter. Massive congratulations to the work of Year 9 Calvert artist Alana Henderson, for her artistic illusion in the House Arts Competition. The 2017 Prefects, Eve, Jade, Claire, Matthew, Cary and Scott were instrumental in Calvert's participation throughout all events across the year. The prefects along with the support of the remainder of the Year 12 Calvert cohort were role models to the House, demonstrating the qualities and leadership needed for a successful House.
We would also like to thank the tutors, Ms Henricus (Year 9), Mr Morgan (Year 10), Mr Taylor (Year 11) and Mr D'Agostin alongside Ms Shen (Year 12) for all their efforts and contribution to each year level over the course of the year. It has not gone unnoticed by the students of Calvert. On behalf of the House, we would like to commend and thank Mrs Foley as Head of House, for the tireless hours she has spent in making our time at the school and in the House, the best it can possibly be. In farewelling the Calvert house, the Year 12s will take away the abundant memories which the House has provided from the earliest of days in Year 9 and hope to leave behind the qualities that make Calvert House so rich in spirit and happiness. From the House Prefects and Captains, we wish the future and present Calvert students the best of luck in their studies at the school and hope they can achieve the happiness and love that the 2017 Year 12 Calvert students experienced throughout their years in the Senior School.

Coles House 2017 has been one of the most enjoyable parts of our schooling life at The Geelong College. The House had plenty of fun throughout the various events this year as well as enjoying great success. One of the best aspects was the participation and general good spirit displayed in all House events by all members of Coles. From Cross Country to House Music, Coles was a strong unified team and it shows in our results. The Year 12 students have always been a strong, close group through the four years at Senior School. Together, Coles has had an amazing year and formed some special lasting memories. The great student participation that was so much part of the year saw Coles advance up the Cronk ladder. Some strong placings were gained in House Soccer - where the boys won, netball, basketball, House Waterpolo, debating and House swimming chants. One of the biggest surprises and most rewarding outcomes was House Music. Our talents and efforts were finally recognised by the judges and we placed 2nd with some great input from the whole House and "Hey Baby" will never sound the same again. These great memories which the Year 12 group can take away with them as they move on to the future would not have been possible without some of the amazing tutors in Coles House. We were lucky enough to have Mr Morris and Mrs Treadwell for our first two years with Mr Conway being our inspirational Head of House.
There are other staff such as Mr Clifford, Mrs Porter and Ms Hynes and Mr Cook who have also been a huge part of our Coles family and the relationships we have developed with these teachers have helped us greatly and we thank them for all their support. In particular, Mr Hodge whose hit and (mostly) miss jokes have been greatly appreciated throughout the stress of Year 12.
It has been a huge privilege to be leaders of Coles this year and we want to personally thank all the other members of the House, staff and students, for making it such a fun experience. We hope that the next group of Year 12 Coles students can enjoy their final year together as much as we have and we know that Coles is in good hands with the next generation of students taking the baton so enthusiastically.

With the refreshed faces of the Year 12s and the new 'bunch' of House Prefects excited and ready for a fantastic year, Keith House was ready to put in a wonderful performance to follow our successes of previous years. The year began with our newest Keith members being welcomed into the House, earning their green stripes and getting to know our oldest Keithians. A hard working class of Year 9s, full of current students' siblings looked ready for another stellar year. We began with a fantastic effort in House Swimming, with outstanding efforts from all year levels. Grace Harris, Ellie Barr, Izzy Greer and Lachie Congdon all swam brilliantly to secure podium finishes in their respective age group championships. With an array of wonderful performances in the Term 1 'minor' House sports, including the girls making it into the final for softball and a great effort from all the badminton players securing us the win, we were on a path to success. We made it to House Music where, under the guidance of new Keith Tutor Mr Ebeling and music guru Endre Padanyi, our House Choir was able to perform a solid rendition of "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham. Our small group, consisting of new Yr 9 talents Tara Kearns and Grace Curnow and accompanying resident vocalist Sarah McQuinn, backed by the harmonious collection of Dan Curnow, Endre and Jacinta Padanyi, Iona Bulford, Ray Yang and Rory Vagg performed "Hush" by Angus and Julia Stone. Term 2 brought the annual Keith House Fundraiser where we banded together to hold a Biggest Morning Tea for the Cancer Council. Everyone donated a variety of baked goods, hot chocolate, tea and other morning tea essentials to be sold at recess to all students and staff. It was a tremendous effort from everyone, managing to raise over $600.
Winter sports came next, with respectable performances by our girls in netball and both boys and girls taking out wins in soccer. The footy team, with several dynamic brother duos, including; Sam and Oscar Malone, Liam and James Glover and Nick and Sam Conway, played several solid games but ultimately lost to arch rivals Shannon. This transitioned us into the Cross Country season, with outstanding efforts from many of our athletes. The Year 10 girls combined for an amazing run, with Grace Harris coming first and Agnes Emma-Nnopu finishing third. One of our very own prefects Izzy Greer managed a fantastic second position. The boys also performed well, with James Glover winning the Year 12 boys race. Our final whole House event was Athletics. A brilliant team effort and stellar performances from Tom Santalucia, Nick Conway and James Glover (1st) to gain top 3 finishes in their respective age group championships helped secure us first place. This result consolidated our lead for the prestigious Cronk Cup. It is only the second time that we have won the 'Cronk'. We would like to thank Mr Gilby for his inspiring guidance throughout the year, and all of the Keith Tutors, especially Mr Kovacev who has been with the Year 12s since our arrival at Senior School four years ago. We have had so many amazing memories throughout our time at Senior School and hope all future Year 12s enjoy it as much as we did.
Mia Harris and Oscar Malone
What a year it has been for the mighty Black House! Despite losing the talented athletes of last year's Year 12s we gained new hope with a keen bunch of Year 9s who quickly showed their determination and commitment to the House, fitting in perfectly. We started well with our first ever win in Softball, with strong performances from Monique Day and Alex and Catie Hodge. However, going into House Swimming as reigning champions, we came away with 6th place, completely robbed by Shannon in the chant. A highlight of the day was Kelly Hughes' win in the elite 50m Butterfly. We had a strong performance in cricket, with Alex Crowe taking plenty of wickets, and Joey Nagle and Charlie Mitchell making plenty of runs. We took out 3rd place to finish Term 2 in a good position. Devmy Panagodage and Alicia Newton led us for House Music, pulling off a jaw dropping performance of Bon Jovi's 'Living on a prayer' backed up by one of the best ever small group performances of 'Way down we go', by talented musicians Alicia, Devmy, Matthew Bagnara, Jax Cross, An Trinh, Nico Dawe, Lachlan Osborne, Georgia White, Jasper Stanisich and Henry Parks. Congratulations go to the whole House on a fantastic effort to end our House Music drought. Victory tasted very sweet. Heading into winter we came close in Hockey and Football taking out 2nd place in both. The Witherdens, Max and Sam, proved football truly runs in the family with prowess on the field. As well as this, a courageous 4th in Netball led by Charlotte McMaster helped see us to mid-range in the House competition.
House Soccer was played in good spirits - an opportunity for Year 9s, Declan Hughes, Hugh Miller and William Thompson to enjoy teamwork with older students. A disappointing loss in Cross Country saw us fall in the rankings, only to be redeemed by a fantastic back-to-back effort in Debating by Devmy Panagodage, Imogen Duff, Georgia White and Patrick White. Our final event was Athletics, with great performances by Catie Hodge, Roxy Sefton, Joey Nagle, Monique Day and Sam Witherden, all of whom placed in the Age Champions of their respective year levels. On Athletics day we teamed up with Morrison to raise funds for the Cape Otway Conservation Ecology Centre. Our BBQ and Bake sale raised around $1000; a quality effort by the volunteers, and the broader school community. Throughout the year, Pakington St lunches, BBQs and Tute activities like dodgeball in the gym have been a highlight for all year levels, and a great way for the whole House to bond. Thanks go to all the tutors; Mr Naylor, Ms Clark, Mrs Newett, Mr K-T and of course Mr Thacker who guided the Year 12s through Senior School since Year 9. Finally, a massive thank you to Mr Taylor whose inspirational speeches at House assemblies have constantly pushed the whole House to do their best in events, APS sport, school work and extra-curricular activities. McArthur House wouldn't be the same without him.

The McLean House room is the place to be, a loving family and at times, the thoroughfare connecting rebellious students from other Houses to the Cloisters. Although we struggled to find our way off the bottom of the ladder in the Cronk, our McLean spirit was celebrated through the earning of the prestigious donuts and was evident in the adored 'Seeing-eye' dog Wilkie who was introduced to the House late last year. We were proud to support Seeing Eye Dogs Victoria again this year by raising funds through a well stocked "Bake Sale". Fast approaching in Term 1 was House Music, where we saw for the first time the incredible chemistry of the Yang brothers performing alongside Jess Wynhoven, Cooper Matthews and Felix Drummond in the small group. They created an amazing cover of 'Are you mine?' by the Arctic Monkeys. Alongside this, all Year levels got very loose in our big group performance, singing their McLean hearts out to 'Footloose' while having the time of their lives. The energy and vibe shown by the whole group was something Paige and I relished when conducting. We would like to congratulate the House on their efforts and enthusiastic attitudes. House Athletics proved to be quite challenging for McLean House, however, we were one of the few houses to fill all the events, which is an achievement in itself. It was great to see everyone getting into the 'Where's Wally?' theme as well as showing support to all our members, because that is something at which McLean excels.
Unfortunately, House Cross Country wasn't McLean's greatest achievement, yet our participation rates were once again very impressive. The great Liam Chalmers and Toby Lever powered through the course, both finishing 3rd and the Year 12 girls came through looking light and bright in their fluorescent active wear. We would like to thank all the McLean House members for their cooperation and participation in every House event this year. Furthermore, we would like to thank the McLean tutors for their everlasting efforts and advice: Mr Carroll and Mr Smith with the Year 9s, Ms Mahoney with the Year 10s and Mrs Knight with the lls. On behalf of the Year 12s, we would especially like to thank Mrs Henning for guiding us through the last four years of our schooling lives and for the awesome 'banter' in our tute classes. Our final big thankyou goes to the Head of House, Mrs Barnes for her hard work. As we approach exams and the end of our school days, it is time to pass the baton onto McLean's future Year 12s. We trust they will continue to bring out the best in McLean and lead the strong spirited house to great success. We both agree that our year has been filled with enjoyment and we have thoroughly relished the experience of being House Captains for McLean. We wish the best to the fellow Year 12s in their future endeavours.

Leading Morrison this year, after the success of last year, was a daunting task. The Year 12s set out, followed by a group of excited Year 9s, talented Year 10s and the emerging leaders of Year 11, to begin the chase for the Cronk. We faced our first major event in the aquatic centre. Morrison stormed into the day in a range of colours mixed with our iconic brown as we dressed up in our theme; 'tight and bright'. We stood united and presented our chant, 'Stand By Morrie', an arrangement of 'Stand By Me'. Despite valiant efforts we placed fifth, but this cannot be mentioned without acknowledging the outstanding individual efforts in the pool from Pia Falk, James Patterson and Ben Fraser. House Music looked promising as our small group made up of Michael Pan, James Cole, Jonathan Hanson, Sevina Kahlon, Ruby Treloar and Xanthia Gregory set out to sing the Guns and Roses classic 'Sweet Child O' Mine' . Our big group had some fierce actions, choreographed by Emma McFee and Edwina Doery, as they performed Greenday's 'Time of Your Life'. Despite the talent shown in rehearsals, we placed a disappointing eighth place. Morrison were invigorated to run back into the race for the Cronk with House Cross-country. With an outstanding second place from Georgie Cullen in the Year 9 girls division, she set the tone for the rest of the House and we achieved a highly respectable second place. House Athletics quickly came around and excitement levels were high. Reflecting the role of our Head of House as a mathematics teacher we had the standout theme of 'Mathletes and Athletes' where much of Morrison dressed to impress.
For Mr Flanagan it was business as usual wearing his daily shirt and tie, but with tracksuit paints creating the perfect merge of a 'mathlete' and an 'athlete'. The day started strongly and we moved up and down the ladder before a very successful series of relays. After this, Morrison was relieved to have placed a respectable third. This would not have been possible without the solo achievements of Euan Spikers, James Cole, Georgie Cullen, Zoe Sandner, Sophia Powers and Mimmi Balaam. This has been a year of excitement and new experiences. The welcoming of new Year 10 tutor Mr Bauer was bittersweet as we saw the departure of long time Morrison Griffin, Mr Andrews, early in the year to new opportunities overseas. Beside Mr Bauer with the Year 10s was the dedicated Ms Green. The Year 9s found guidance from Mr Justin 'Doc' Kristiansen and the Year lls were led for the second year by Ms Richards. The Year 12s went through their third and final year at College with the much loved Ms Jackman. Along with our fellow House Prefects James Norton, Ned McIntyre, Lochie Hosking, Grace Stewart, Eliza Lawson and Alice Liang we have loved being a part of Morrison this year and we must give thanks to all of the members of Morrison for a joyous and memorable year.

From the outset, it was clear that Shannon had one goal: to win the Cronk. Having finished in the top four for the last several years, this year was our time to finally take home the trophy. With Mrs Smith as Head of House, we were confident that her passionate and competitive leadership style would allow us to bring home the goods.
Shannon's philosophy that "participation is key", produced one of the highest attendances on the day. All ran to the best of their ability and Shannon finished in a close 2nd place, putting us back on track for our Cronk goal. Standout performances included Douglass Bell, Tom Page, Will Page and Ngor Aker, who all ran extremely well.
Within the first weeks, we were in the pool ready to compete at House Swimming. Our theme was 'tradies', with an impressive array of outfits displayed. We came off the blocks with the Cronk in mind. There were many standout performances such as Olivia Mathias being awarded Age Champion and Cooper Sands and Emily Brussow showing their skills in diving. Shannon started the year off on the right foot, coming 1st and putting us in a great position to win the Cronk.
The final event for the year was Athletics, which was crucial if we were to have a chance at winning the Cronk. We put in an enormous effort, filling every event and helping out at others. We finished 2nd, which was another great result. Matthew Thacker, Ngor Aker and Douglass Bell, all featured in year level champions. Smaller team events included tennis, softball, badminton, soccer, hockey and others. We performed relatively well in the majority of these, with the Cricket team finishing 3rd, the Basketball team finishing 3rd, and the Football and Water polo teams finishing 1st. Other highlights included our House Lunch, in which games such as pass the parcel, guess the salad of the day and trivia were played. It was an opportunity for the House members to get to know one another.
Early on Shannon underwent its annual fundraiser: Carnations for Valentine's Day. For several weeks we sold lollipops, flowers and chocolates in preparation for the big day. We raised a significant sum of money, which was donated to the Starfish Nipper Program at the Anglesea SLSC.
It wasn't long before House Music rolled around, and Shannon were ready to follow up their 2016 win. Our big group sang Of Monster & Men's "Little Talks", giving up many lunchtimes to get their pitch and harmonies perfect. Our small group performed Panic! At The Disco's "The Ballad of Mona Lisa", with electric performances from the three singers: James BennettHullin, Olivia Geary and Ella Pullin. Despite both groups sounding great, Shannon fell to 7th place, which was a shock to the whole House. With the disappointment of House Music behind us, our focus turned to House Cross-Country.
This year would not have been possible without the help of the teachers in Shannon: Madame Chabant, Mrs Filling, Mr Smith, Mrs Caleo, Ms Wood, Ms Sampson and Mrs Watson. We would also like to express our gratitude to Mrs Smith, for her efforts and time that she has put into Shannon, making it an enjoyable final year for the Year 12s. Thanks also to the House Prefects: James Bennett-Hullin, Tom Page, Oscar Brownless and Georgia Greene for their assistance. Finally, we would like to thank all in Shannon for making this year very memorable and creating an open and friendly atmosphere in the House Room.

2017 has been a very successful year for Wettenhall, not only in regards to the Cronk, but also the general positivity within the House room. Led by the ever enthusiastic and encouraging Mrs Hallows, organisation and commitment paid off with wins in a variety of House events.
In 2017 we continued our association with Vinnies, with students visiting the South Geelong centre to learn about the organisation and assist in the shop. Our annual clothes drive was the most successful ever, collecting a large quantity of items to be donated to Vinnies.
Term 1 began as brightly as our fluorescent yellow House room, with our chanting abilities proving to conquer our swimming capabilities in the much-anticipated House Swimming. Wettenhall placed 6th with an amazing effort put in by every year level. Our House spirit and unity was not dampened, proving to only make us collectively stronger and determined to be better. Strong performances in tennis and a first place in cricket, led by Patrick Taylor, reflected the devotion put in by the Wettenhall students.
There are many positive signs for the future of Wettenhall, with a close-knit group of enthusiastic, kind and dedicated young people led by our tutors, who always encourage us to do our best. We thank Mr Donovan, Mr Sheppard, Ms Utting, Ms Griffiths and Ms Wiltshire for their efforts this year. In particular, the Year 12s are very thankful for the support and guidance of Madame Tymms over the last 4 years. Finally we wish Wettenhall a fantastic year in 2018.
House Music was a highlight this year with the addition of some talented Year 9 students, including the angelic voice of Noah Gray singing "A team" in the ensemble. The Wettenhall choir led by Hamish Manning verified they can't be stopped, singing "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. Whilst "having a good time" we managed to place 5th. Once again Wettenhall proved themselves to be a Hockey powerhouse winning the title for the second year in a row, captained by the skilful Nie Proebstl. Wettenhall performed strongly in House Cross Country, taking out the title for the first time in the history of our humble House. The girls finished in first place overall and the boys not far behind in second, which secured our position on top of the podium. We followed up this performance with a strong 4th place in House Athletics.

Being a part of Mackie cannot be described in a few words. Living with fifty other boys gives you a deeper understanding of each person as an individual and gives you a bond with each and every other boarder, so that there is always someone to turn to. Each year in boarding, new friendships are made, old ones strengthened, making the boarding network ever expanding and united. It is not always the easiest thing to do; live away from home, away from your family, in unfamiliar surroundings and with people around you all the time, but it is character building and develops our resilience and independence. We learn to be independent in academic abilities and use our time more effectively. It isn't every day that you get to live in a house for four years with such a diverse range of students from all over the world. We have the opportunity to follow sporting passions and play club sport as well as share our experiences with our fellow boarders. Boarding gives us the opportunity to be diverse, grow as an individual and get a good education whilst having lots of fun with some good mates. It provides challenges and we are always supported by staff. Highlights of the year included the many Sunday outings and activities, our ritual indoor soccer games on Wednesday evenings and especially our annual Mackie Man event; this prestigious trophy being carried off by Pat Barkla. These activities really bring the house together and make us feel like a part of a vibrant community.
We would like to thank the staff who looked after us in 2017 for all of their time, care and conversations. Matron, Mrs Jeffreys, deserves our special thanks. She is like our second mum in our second home and she really is the glue that holds Mackie together. She is always up for a chat, or plying us with her famous Anzacs or banana bread, cooking up a special welcome home on Friday afternoons, or keeping us in line on our responsibilities. Mackie House is like home (almost) and 2017 sees the Year 12s emerge to confidently face the world outside. The boarding house would not function as efficiently or coherently without the hard, greatly appreciated work that the Head of the House, Mr Smith, does. He is a fatherly figure, who deserves every bit of respect the boys give him. His ability to connect with such a diverse group , whilst keeping it in line is second to none. Over his sixteen years as Head of Mackie, and even longer service as a tutor, Mr Smith has been able to create a culture which is inclusive, academically and sportingly balanced, and most importantly a fun family like environment. As this is his last full year, it has been an honour to work alongside Mr Smith and we, as captains, thank him for everything that he has done for us.

The 31st of January 2017, may seem hard to remember, but marks the beginning of another year at Mossgiel House, with a fresh group of Year 12 girls confidently preparing to take their last monumental steps through Mossgiel as opposed to the Year 9 and various other girls anxiously and cautiously beginning their first introduction to boarding life. Settling in for new girls can be very daunting, yet what these girls soon realise is that every single one of the 48 other girls in Mossgiel House have experienced these familiar emotions, ultimately forming the foundation of the relationships between the Mossgiel girls. However these feelings of nervousness and apprehension were soon overcome with the annual orienteering exercises with the fellow Mackie Boys on Mackie oval, easily achieving the fundamental purpose of easing away the first term jitters and helping to overcome much of the homesickness. Along with the many other weekend activities including the Geelong Amazing Race, the stand-up Paddle-Boarding at Barwon Heads, many began to recognise Mossgiel as their 'home away from home'. The annual Boarders Family Day saw a wonderful reunion, with many of the girls' eagerly introducing new found friends and catching up on the term's events. Term 1 saw the Mossgiel Bunnies "hopping" around with a large basket in support of the White Ribbon Foundation. We then faced the stressful reality of SACs and the notorious "hard work" for Year 12s, leading into Term 2. This term further saw the Year 12s from both houses come together to organise the Boarder WeekendCharity Brunch, putting some out of their comfort zone by "shop-knocking" for generous donations in support of youth homelessness.
This year's Cultural outing to the hilarious and captivating 'Kinky Boots' being a hit surprisingly not only for Mossgiel House but amongst Mackie also. The Mid-Year Formal, which is a highly anticipated event for both staff and students saw the theme "Throw Back In Time", which saw 'mummies', 'Upper class bogans', 'BO's Roller Skaters' and memorably Ms. Matthews out staging all the students in a floor length 'wedding dress'. The entertainment is always a highlight, especially when Sevina Kahlon beautifully sang her modern rendition of La Vie en Rose. Weekend activities in Term 3, such as indoor rock climbing, trampolining and ice-skating distracted many from the cooler weather and long term. Conversely for the Year 12s nostalgia sets in, with "many last" occasions occurring, such as last SACs, Athletics Day, classes and walks down to the Keith Humble Centre. As the year draws to a close, I am reminded of just how critical Mossgiel House through the nurturing and supportive staff, to the individuality of each girl in the House, enables us all to mature into well rounded young women. The honour of leading the house as Captain has been a special part of my 6 years at the College. Each and every one of the staff deserves a special thanks, our Matrons; Valerie Dunstone and Johanna Torrance, and Tutors; Paul Conway, Gerard Donavan, Kylie Vokic, Natasha Lau, Amanda Jackman, Sarah Smith and Leigh Knight. Special mention must go to Ms. Matthews, who has been a motherly figure to each girl in Mossgiel House, including myself, and for being an amazing Head of House for my four years.

Debating It has been rewarding to witness the many successes of our debating teams. The 2017 Senior Debating team saw the return of many experienced members, but many new debaters have flourished. Many students find the prospect of speaking publicly challenging; even so, this allows us to appreciate the consistent effort put in by our debaters. In 2017, this skill and effort led to a strong, five-team College representation in State finals. We also wish to acknowledge Iona Bulford (B Grade)and Oliver Soo (D Grade) who won the Swannie Award as best speakers in their respective Grades in the Geelong region. Congratulations to them both. Our D Grade teams excelled in the senior competition this year, taking out both first and third places on the Geelong region ladder, in a formidable 16-team division. This is a wonderful achievement for these debaters in their first season of debating in Senior School.
Despite an incredibly busy year, our team achieved a wellearned place in the finals season and at the top of the regional ladder. We would like to thank Grace Stewart and Laura Turnbull for their relentless researching, Aleisha Mauderer and Michaela Ryan for their invaluable support, (whether that be speaking or otherwise), and Izzy Greer for her legendary firstspeaking skills that laid the foundations for our debates every week. Best speakers this season were Molly McLaughlin, Devmy Panagodage, Michaela Ryan, Catherine Clark, Ella Pullin, Charlotte Midgley, Emily Bagnara, Antonia Bowlen, Connor McGucken, Lachlan Houen, Trinity Murphy, Tom Forshaw and Max Kokalis. We also thank Ms Mahoney and Mrs Green for their guidance. We owe a large part of our success to them.
It seems that our debating squad can only go onwards and
Our Year 10 C Grade teams finished equal first on the regional ladder; both teams remaining undefeated. We congratulate these up-and-coming debaters on their skill and commitment. They both won through to the State Quarter Finals, which is an outstanding feat.
upwards, and we cannot wait to see what our teams will achieve over the next few years. To every debater who will continue on next year, we wish you the best, feistiest, sassiest rebuttals possible ... never lose your ability to argue, but choose your battles wisely!
In B Grade, Geelong College 1 completed an undefeated season, earning a well-deserved place in the State finals, a significant accomplishment considering the calibre of their competition. Our second B Grade team should also be congratulated, placing 3rd in a strong Geelong competition.
Molly O'Laughlin and Devmy Panagodage Co-Captains of Debating
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the A Grade debaters and the commitment that they have shown to the debating program over many years.

Early in Term One, all Year 8 classes took part in a Triple R retreat day. This was a dedicated day for each class to spend time together. The day began by heading off to "The Rock" and after having quality time together, each class then walked to the Geelong College boatsheds where we took part in a range of team building activities, all of which encouraged cooperation and team work. The goal of the RRR day was to develop relationships with both students and our teachers. The activities planned were designed to ensure that we all mixed and contributed. We started the day with rock climbing, which required we trust the members in our allocated teams. The day was carefully planned to help students bond within classes, and strengthen working relationships and friendships. Later we made planes, used the Ergo (rowing) machines and took part in a learning styles activity in which we got to understand the differences and similarities between people in our class. Throghout the day, we were placed in different groups for all the activities. It was fun and challenging making the planes, and not all groups were successful. The activities required heaps of teamwork. Even our walk to the boatsheds was social; instead of driving we walked to socialise. We talked to a lot of different people whom we wouldn't usually chat with. Throughout the day, there was a casual and happy vibe and everyone seemed relaxed. SA's Triple R retreat day was a treat for all. The day was fun, consisting of taking a trip down to the local rock climbing centre, exploring friendships and using teamwork to create wood and corflute planes down at the rowing sheds. We were also involved in a range of activities designed to explore and learn about ourselves and our classmates. This day also developed friendships between classmates. Retreat days like this are great at the start of the year and give us an opportunity to get to know each other as we commence our Year 8 learning journey.

When the students in 8B initially came together as a cohort, they explored the concept of their metaphor for learning. The students were asked to draw a visual metaphor for learning that best displayed their approach to study in the year ahead. Much discussion took place, and the result was a series of pictures which each individual student could relate to their own learning. Some pictures depicted a person parachuting out of an aeroplane or abseiling down a cliff face. The meaning of these was to take a risk with their education by either asking more questions or extending/pushing themselves further in a subject or activity. During a day trip to the Barwon River and The Geelong College Boatsheds, the students made an ink print of their bare feet. Around one footprint they wrote words that best described themselves. Around the other, they wrote about their aspirations for the year ahead. When these footprints were finally displayed on the homeroom wall, we came up with a metaphor for the whole class. The saying is both a metaphor and a riddle, "the more you take on, the more you leave behind." The students realised, as the year went on, that not only was this metaphor applicable to their own learning, but related to many other aspects of their lives as well. In a positive way the metaphor refers to areas such as family, friendships, health, love, care for the environment, and many more. Students ascertained that there was a flip side to this metaphor, referring to things such as plastic, rubbish, material possessions, and digital footprint. We hope that the students continue to travel with this metaphor for the remainder of the time they have at the Middle School. With each footstep they make in the future, may they always be reminded of the positive impact of this learning metaphor on their lives. ''The more you take on, the more you leave behind." Footsteps

Year8#Cre8#Fortun8#1nnov8#Activ8#1nvigor8 #Concentr8#Evalu8#Particip8#Rel8#Cre8#Year8 The CreB Project in Year 8 is about finding and making your own opportunities. It is about following your dreams, finding passion, learning new skills and achieving something that was once outside your reach. The final products are amazing but the real beauty is in the process. "I think the CreB project is good because it gives you the opportunity to do something you always wanted to do but didn't have time for. So far in this project I have learnt how to problem solve. I have expanded my knowledge on video editing and stop motion process." Emily Baxter "It's a great opportunity to do something that you're passionate about. I've chosen to do a bike ramp. The project is great. I've always wanted to make one but never got around to it." Will Riordan "We are learning to show initiative. When a problem pops up we do our best to dodge the bullet and keep moving forward" Michael Bird "I have decided to write a short story set post World War 1 because I have a passion for English and writing." Charlotte Thomson "I have learnt about a more creative line of work. My goal is to finish knowing I made my candle pots to the best of my ability." Emma Bates "CreB teaches us the skills of efficiency, flexibility and problemsolving. I have learnt about creativity and in my opinion it really expands creative ability." Amy Rahmanian "It gives us the opportunity to pursue a passion in a way of my choice. It has challenged me to improve my snowboarding and opened my eyes to all the paths that it can take me." Andy Deans "During my CreB Project I have learnt the need to be organised and have a plan for what I am doing." Lucas Kors Learning Mentors: Mr Ben Robbins, Ms Stephanie Lawrence

Science in SD is all about hands-on activities. This is a great way to engage students in their learning and push them to think more deeply about the concepts underlying the activities. The Resources Unit focussed on where our electricity comes from. The major investigation challenged students to design a wind turbine to produce the maximum amount of electricity from a fixed wind source. Drawing from their Year 7 knowledge of how to conduct a scientific investigation, students worked in pairs to research a starting design, test the design, and then modify one aspect of the design. After several iterations, the wind turbines improved significantly. Along the way, students learnt how simple the process of converting wind energy into electrical energy is. The final step in the investigation was to compare and contrast the student design with real world wind turbines. The connection between the rocks we find in our local area and the past geological history of the area was explored in the Rocks Unit. Students were surprised to learn of the recent volcanic activity in the Western District. Sitting on top of Mount Elephant with a handful of volcanic scoria listening to our guide explaining the history of the landscape before us really showed the relevance of geology. Limestone samples from the Batesford quarry raised more questions. Does this mean Batesford was once covered by a shallow sea? How did the basalt plains surrounding Geelong form? What about the You Yangs? The Chemistry Unit was designed around a series of short activities that demonstrated many types of chemical reactions. Use was made of everyday materials as well as laboratory experiments. Hand warmers and heat packs were used to demonstrate exothermic reactions. Self-inflating balloons showed the usefulness of the classic bicarb and vinegar reaction. Light sticks were seen in a new light and precipitation reactions were explored. We have had a lot of fun in Science this year. Keep asking questions, never lose the curiosity and enthusiasm.

BE immersed themselves in a gratitude and resilience program throughout Semester 1, culminating in a Middle School assembly, where they shared their personal understanding and experience. They followed the work of the renowned humanist and sociologist, Hugh van Cuylenburg who inspired by his own experience and motivated by the need to heal his sister, commenced working on his own programs for schools titled, 'The Resilience Project'. The Resilience Project is an organisation that goes around to businesses and schools to talk about being resilient, grateful and happy. Our gratitude list was a project our class did every day for a month. Each day we wrote down what we were grateful for, what the best thing was that day and what we are looking forward to tomorrow. As a class we all felt a lot more gracious and happy with ourselves. Being grateful means appreciating people, being thankful for what we have and being happy with who we are. It is a skill that everyone can have and a skill that is easy to get. If everyone was grateful the world would be a much better place.
Liam Wylie, Cate Barr, Sam Milner BE were fortunate enough to take part in this program, noting daily what they were grateful for and why and formulated a holistic understanding of how to build their own resilience at school, at home and with their friends. As part of the Year BE program, the class looked carefully and purposefully at their social and emotional capabilities and developed their self-awareness to recognise personal qualities and achievements. It also enabled BE to make a realistic assessment of their abilities and achievements, and prioritise areas for improvement. BE finished their own project and the Semester by delivering an assembly to the whole of Middle School, which explained their individual experiences of the Resilience Project. Individual students recounted what they were grateful for and why; encouraging the rest of the Middle School to get on board the Resilience Train.

BF are passionate about sport. The entertainment, fun and experiences can be enjoyed with friends and family. Sport allows us a shared sense of identity with our team-mates; building character, cooperation, resilience and persistence. It also provides us with both personal and team challenges. By playing sport we develop physical skills, exercise, make new friends, learn to be a team member and learn about playing fairly. Sport, whether team based or individual, provides a variety of benefits. Participation in sport helps build self -esteem and social skills. It also teaches us the benefits of goal setting and practice. We learn to interact not only with our peers, but with our coaches. Sport allows us to experience leadership skills, team building and communication skills. We also learn to trust in our own abilities and push ourselves. Sport gives us a sense of belonging.
BF Students Playing on an all-boys football team ... daunting, intimidating and new for me. It's not easy to be the only girl on an all-boys team, however it is rewarding but challenging. Playing football doesn't come naturally to me and playing in the 'N team is an amazing feeling. It's a feeling that knowing all the hard work through training pays off. Playing football with The Geelong College football team has actually taught me a lot about myself and others too. I'm really thankful that I was able to play and that the team with which I had to play was always pushing me to do better. Hopefully next year will be another great year of football.
Nara Saric - Football Player I enjoy athletics because of the people I have met along the way. It is also a gruelling sport and the feeling after a hard session is always so relaxing and calm.
Nicholas O'Brien - Athlete Nicholas lists as his greatest achievements his placements of 2nd in the 800 m and 3rd in the 400m at the National Championships in Sydney and breaking the 800m APS record for the under 14 age group. His goals are to break sub 2 minutes for the 800m and break the APS record for the 800m for under 15.

Everyone has an imagination. Art takes it a step further. Pablo Picasso believed that the purpose of art was "to wash the daily dust of life off our souls". Creativity is increasingly being acknowledged as one of the most important factors for the success of individuals, organisations and cultures. Art and creativity are intricately linked. Through art, we can create something that was previously only imagined and personal expression is encouraged in an individual and unique way. Art lessons free our mind; we can think outside the box and let our imagination and creativity run wild! There is no right or wrong way to be an artist. Art has no rules. Creating art is an excellent way to make choices, take risks and solve problems in a safe environment. We are able to experiment and explore with a variety of different materials and techniques and to have an open-minded approach to finding solutions and evaluating what we have created. Art allows us to make choices and to communicate feelings, ideas and solutions in a way other than verbally or written. Sometimes the creative process may be frustrating and it may take many attempts before we are happy with our work. Practising and developing different skills, learning from our decisions and understanding that creating art may sometimes be challenging, allows us to value the process even more. Flexible thinking and becoming more comfortable with uncertainty is encouraged in Art; both are key aspects for building creativity and self-confidence. Art motivates us to look at things differently; opening our eyes to new perspectives and seeing the beauty in things we might have never really noticed before. Engaging in a shared art activity allows us to get to know each other better, to explore, give feedback, exchange ideas, be inspired and to express our feelings in diverse and various ways. Being creative makes us happy and art is fun. What more could we ask for?

Drama in Year 7 does not only focus on performance skills, but also developing teamwork, friendships and building selfconfidence. Confidence assists students to step out of their comfort zone, to believe in themselves and tackle anything that life throws at you. 7B have created colourful and entertaining onstage performances based on the theme of Superheroes and Fairy tales. Throughout the semester, we have seen students collaborate, create, perform, have fun and build their confidence. In Drama, we strive to build our confidence; not only to speak in front of a crowd but within ourselves. We can take this key factor into other subjects such as public speaking and debating. Oscar Jarman Over the first semester of this year, 7B have been creating wonderful performances and developing some amazing skills in Drama! Our task was to remake a fairy tale! I am sure everyone in our class enjoyed making them. We even had the chance to perform in front of a crowd. The performances were so magical and amazing to watch. Jazmin Squires Confidence is the cornerstone of all great people. Without confidence, all great things that have been achieved by man, would not have eventuated, because nobody would have had the confidence to try them. Drama promotes confidence. It teaches students to try new things, believe in their capabilities and most importantly to perform in front of an audience. It provides students with the essential core values to someday, achieve great things because they were bold enough to try. Oscar Dowling Drama is so much more than just acting. Drama is a confidence-building and friendship-making subject. Sometimes school can be a challenge and a little nerve wracking, however being involved in drama really guides you in the right direction for the rest of the school year. 7B's drama teacher Mr Galluccio is a very lively and understanding teacher, making each drama lesson a different and delightful experience. Although acting may be fun, having confidence allows us to have many more exciting opportunities.

Group work requires us all to work together to learn the content and apply it in the projects on which we are working, but it also teaches us cooperation and teamwork. Collaboration and cooperation are valued and teach us skills that are important as we learn to work together. We are able to take greater ownership and develop good communication and team work skills. Sometimes we teach each other and can help solve problems together, allowing us to tackle larger and more complex problems that we could not do individually. Working as a group enables us to approach problems in unique and individual ways as we all have something to offer. We learn to delegate roles and responsibilities, share diverse perspectives and skills and develop new approaches to resolving differences. It is important to develop our own ideas and perspectives alongside our peers. We have been encouraged to be active rather than passive learners and develop our critical thinking skills, enabling us to be more effective and efficient learners. We get to develop and practise skills in decision making, problem solving, values, communication, critical thinking, negotiation and teamwork. It makes work interesting, challenging, motivating, engaging and fun. As a group we have experienced the challenges of camp; learning to respect and trust each other and offer encouragement and support. We are able to create a positive energy when we are together and build strong friendships with cooperation. We can be open to one another and we like the work we get done when we have the right mind set. We also need to be respectful of others, think about our comments, value other people and set personal boundaries. We need to value the importance of listening to each other, and acknowledge the contribution that we can all make. Everyone should be given the opportunity to grow and not be overshadowed by stronger personalities. We need to hear all voices. Group work creates collaborative learning; a model where we all cooperate. We need to be good listeners and questioners, help others and show trust, support and respect.

We pulled up in a valley enclosed by mountains; we had arrived in Marysville. Foliage spread across ground, broken up by our cabins. We heaved our bags off the bus and scanned our home for the next three nights. Our timetables received; we headed off in excitement and anticipation. The activities were awesome at camp, our favourites being canoeing and cooking. Cooking was amazing, as we made delicious scones and savoury herb muffins. Whilst the cooking part was fun, eating them was even better, after a jam-packed day of activities! Canoeing was another awesome experience; we worked in pairs and paddled around the lake. When we mastered an understanding of how to manoeuvre our canoes, we played a game called World Domination similar to a game of Gang Up Tiggy, only on the dam. One of the most memorable events at camp for us was the 15km hike. We trekked through beautiful wilderness for three hours to arrive at majestic Stevenson's waterfall. We sang songs, chatted and hiked up hills. We had a break for lunch at the gushing waterfall; however, on arrival back at camp we were again ravenous; suffice to say we ate a lot of dinner that night! Camping out was cold but fun! We slept in a small tent with 2-3 people. Lars (our instructor) took us out to our camping area. When we were walking, Lars tricked us into thinking we were going to camp out in the bush. We were a little worried. He then did a '360' and walked back to where we had started. Eventually they handed us our tents and explained how to set them up. Assembling the tents was initially quite a struggle, however, with teamwork and patience, we got there in the end. After allocating our sleeping partners, we devoured a delicious dinner of burritos, competed in trivia (70 girls won!) and settled down to sleep. Overall, we had a wonderful time, learning much about the great outdoors and our fellow classmates. The days were busy and went very quickly and we were exhausted by the end of what was a most fulfilling camp experience.

Our 7E class watched Mamoru Hosoda's animation Wolf Children; a heartbreaking and emotionally compelling film with an endearing narrative. We used this to discuss themes of acceptance of differences and the need to belong and feel included which we also focussed on during the Year 7 Camp. Wolf Children's most important lesson is that in a child's search for identity, the best and most important thing a parent and teacher can do is allow them room to grow and offer support even if they don't agree entirely with the identity they've chosen. That identity is who they are and finding yourself and where you belong is one of the most important missions in anyone's life. Another memorable part of mentor for us was the French game called Werewolf introduced to us by Monsieur Lairs, which involves storytelling and taking on various roles. Students are learning to take turns and listen carefully. 'Wolf Children taught me that it is OK to be different and stand out' Will Troeth 'Wolf Children taught me that it is very important that we include everyone in what we do because it is a horrible feeling being left out and everyone should have a chance to make a good impression or try to be friends with you. You never know if they just put up a wall when they are around people because they are shy. You have to get to know them first before you judge them' Aimee McLaughlin 'I learnt from Wolf Children that we shouldn't pretend to be something we are not, for instance a wolf at heart can't pretend to be a child and vice versa' Emmaline Vagg 'I like playing Werewolf because you get to work together in teams to win the game so you have to work alongside people who you may not usually work with' Em Mills 'Diversity is being invited to the party, inclusion is being asked to dance' Verna Myers Learning Mentors: Mr Yannick Lairs, Ms Claire Wood, Ms Sharon Dong

Our learning journey at The Geelong College is exciting and challenging, and a variety of opportunities and appealing activities are embedded either in our lessons or extra-curricular commitment. We are fortunate to engage in APS (Associated Public Schools) sport and have an enriched music curriculum. These diverse programs allow each individual student to learn new skills and further develop in their chosen activities. Sport is a vital part of our college community. The APS program caters for athletes of all types and skill levels, but no matter what, we all enjoy the team work and competitiveness of our Saturday morning competition. Our training sessions throughout the week allow us to form friendships with other students in different classes and our bonding as a cohort deepens. The music curriculum is also a huge part of The Geelong College. We have enjoyed many musical experiences this year, for example, the Instrument Discovery Program, where we all got to try an instrument for the semester. We could choose between flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone or violin. This was a rich and diverse learning experience for all, and some of us even chose to continue with our preferred instrument, embarking on a new challenge. We are all celebrated for our diverse interests. Our achievements are shared in our classroom environment which allows us to connect with others beyond our friendship groups. Many of us participate in other interests outside our school experience. We are encouraged and supported in our participation, whether it be skiing, mountain bike riding or lacrosse. This year in our homeroom of 7F, we have shared and encouraged everyone's hobbies or the activities in which they participate, through sharing our stories and experiences. We celebrate and encourage each other and love hearing the stories of triumph and challenge. This sharing opportunity has helped develop deep student connections and build strong bonds. "We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep" William James

We began the year by participating in Film School. By studying filmmaking techniques and developing the skills required to use the Year 6 camera equipment, we were given the task to earn our 'Directors Hat'. We took responsibility for our own learning by solving problems, asking appropriate questions and seeking our own solutions. TED Talks allowed us to question who we are and what we believe in while creating a digital Storyclip to spread our ideas. Some of us even decided to present our TED-style talk to a live audience. Our most recent Inquiry unit, Our Town through Time, combined local history with filmmaking.
We were inspired by a Tony Robinson 'Time Walks' episode and researched a variety of significant locations around Geelong. We attended a filmmaking excursion at our chosen location and produced our own documentary-style film. We can't deny that technology is playing a larger role in our everyday lives. It is through technology that we can redefine how we want to communicate with each other. Although our time in Year 6 has come to a close, our journey with technology and communication is never-ending.

Year 5 provides students with the opportunity to develop themselves as makers and learners. They are encouraged to seek and solve challenging problems across a range of interdisciplinary contexts. Using design thinking models, students engage with a variety of materials to model their thinking and create products. "Year 5 is full of variety. I like that we learn to program animations on Scratch and program mazes with Sphero's. Learning here is really exciting." Keiran Lane "We're encouraged to challenge ourselves and push past our limits. We collaborate and talk to each other to solve problems. Giving reasons and explaining our thinking helps us to learn."

Since 2001 the Enviro program has provided Year 4 students at our school with countless opportunities to connect with the natural world and to understand its systems. Always underpinning this work has been a focus on acting for the environment. Our Year 4 group has 'been many places and seen many things'. From the outside, the program might be seen as a series of outdoor activities, without much time given to 'school' learning. The reality couldn't be more different. Using the rich themes of growing food; the interconnectedness of living things; the geography and history of 'our place' and the planet's resources, teachers of the program engage our young people in daily rigorous challenges and projects which incorporate traditional domains of English, Maths, Science, History and Geography. This year's cohort has made an especially deep connection to their chosen places, through the 'My Place' projects, including the living things around them through their 'Local animal dioramas'. The connection that these young people have made with their local natural world, the depth and breadth of their knowledge, continues to astound the adults who bear witness to their daily engagement and excitement. Much of this learning is made possible by the munificent, rambunctious and diverse school garden that the students have worked so very hard to maintain and transform. Each day our young people do their work in a dynamic environment. We believe that as they engage in their work, they are being equipped for the one definite constant of the future.
PRAYER May the rope that holds other people back be released. May the voices of the past carry us forward in the future. May the people of today help us make a better tomorrow. May the trees we planted grow big and strong. May the ones who have fallen never be forgotten May what we seek be found May the sick and injured be held May we all grow strong and safe May the trees always stand tall, and the mountains never fall May the trees be blossomed with happiness, and the birds chirp to the truth May the clouds be soft, and the oceans be peaceful May nature sprout, and creatures always have homes May the poor be well fed, may we get light and bread Learning Mentors: Mrs Bernardine Shier, Mrs Georgia Malone, Mr Will Johnston, Mrs Serrin Vernon (Term 4)

There is nothing quite like special visitors to inspire and enhance excitement for reading, writing and an understanding of the creative process. This year, the Helen Mackie Library hosted local author Mark Smith, Trace Balla (author/ illustrator and Winner of the Younger Readers Book of the Year 2017) and award-winning young adult author Phillip Gwynne. Hearing the 'inside stories' and ideas behind books and the struggles and joys of the writing and publication process, promotes reading for pleasure and encourages writing. Mark Penzac's energetic one-man performance sparked imaginations with humour, puppetry, lights and music while many classic stories were re-visited.
Debating Year 8 Debating
Year 7 Debating
In 2017, a dedicated group of Year 8 students represented The Geelong College in the Debating Association of Victoria (DAV) Schools Competition. Two teams competed against various schools in the Geelong Region D Grade at Geelong Grammar School during Term 2 and Term 3. Both teams had a great deal of success with one team progressing through to the State Playoffs late in Term 3.
This year 23 students participated in the DAV Junior School Program for Year 7s and Bs. The program ran from 12th October to 23rd November 2017 and included a compulsory training night and three debates. An invaluable experience, the program taught the students the basics of building a solid case and strong arguments, while introducing them to formal public speaking and adjudication.
At Playoff 1, Josie Horne, Audrey Greer and James Afford competed against MacRobertson Girls' High School and argued that 'We should NOT impose a salary cap for professional sporting teams.' Having convinced the adjudicator that salary caps do not make a significant difference to struggling clubs; using worldwide, specific examples, the team won the debate and progressed through to Playoff 3.
The benefits of the program included:
Unfortunately, at Playoff 3 the case for the topic 'That, if we could choose, we would rather be famous' did not stack up against the girls from Gladstone Park Secondary and our run into the Octa-finals was cut short. Elizabeth Kefaloukos, Audrey Greer and James Afford represented our school. From approximately 540 teams in the initial competition, the team made it to the top 20 in the State, competing against all Year 9 students. In an outstanding effort, James Afford was also awarded the 'Swannie Award' for Best Speaker in the Geelong Region in D Grade. All speakers are to be congratulated and commended for these outstanding achievements and I wish them the best of luck in the competition next year.
promoting confidence and effective public presentation encouraging logical and critical thinking, social awareness and an interest in current affairs debating techniques can be used in all subject areas; it is multidisciplinary. extension through all aspects of the school curriculum The four teams represented the school extremely well during their introduction to debating.

Do we need bubble taps or can we do something more? The children in 3A devised, planned and carried out a major project throughout 2017 with one GIANT goal in mind: to help those less fortunate than themselves. After meeting Ryan Hreljac from 'The Ryan's Well Foundation' via Skype, the children decided that the best way they could contribute as a community would be to raise awareness of the inequality some people face: a lack of clean drinking water; and to raise enough money to buy a well for a village in Africa. Months of planning and research led to the children's decision to break into smaller committees in order to more efficiently plan key fundraising activities. Belonging to one of the smaller planning groups meant that each child had a significant role to play in our long-term journey. Each child participated in one of the following committees:
Sausage Sizzle Committee - planned, recruited and carried out a sausage sizzle on the last day of Term 2 in collaboration with the PSPA. The children also got support from local fruit shop Harvey's of Highton by way of a fruit donation. Markets Committee - many children planned and carried out market stalls on the weekend and in the school holidays. Their dedication is to be highly commended! Cake Stall Committee - designed, planned and consulted to plan a cake stall sale for the end of Term 3. These children definitely experienced the saying: You need to spend money to make money when they were asked to use their fundraising to buy the supplies for their cakes! Colouring Competition Committee - created, distributed and planned for the judging of colouring in designs for a colouring competition in Term 4. Each fundraising endeavour was made possible due to the dedication of the leading committees and the eager classmates they called upon when deadlines loomed and more ideas were needed! A special thank you to all parents and community members who worked alongside the 3A students this year to help them raise over $2500 for The Ryan's Well Foundation.

Our first week sparked questions and curiosities, which quickly developed a sense of community. It was when unpacking the College's "Vision for Learning" that we found ourselves as a "Community of Learners." Who would think a board meeting held by company directors held the key ingredients to mix together the branding of the "The Ideas Factory", a marketing business led by the learners themselves. We delved into exploring the purpose of consumers and providers and discovered the value which time management, teamwork and creativity can have on a business. As mathematicians, we moved our focus to the thinking and used evidence to support our claims. All year we enjoyed writing and sharing stories during our writer's workshops. Learners explored different planning techniques to enhance their narratives and used their peers to gather feedback to improve their writing pieces. The power of positive feedback and reinforcement echoed throughout our room and directed our learners to a wall carefully crafted to fill someone's bucket; "The 38 Shout Out Wall." "How can we make the world a better place?" made us connect to our community, to others and the world. We would wonder about issues shaping our world, arranging them into a diagram of concentric circles. Does it relate to me personally, to my family or is it a local, national or global issue? We made connections, relating them to our personal experiences, developing a scientific report on a global issue facing our world. "What is land?" generated many fascinating thoughts and questions. Our interests led us to dig deep into the Earth's core and discover what is under our feet. We swiftly moved towards the crust and discovered that the surface of the Earth is constantly changing. But why? Our inquiring minds were sparked. How can we show our understanding? We used Claymation, green screen, artwork, cartoons and i-Movie as a way of sharing our knowledge in a manner that we were passionate about. 2017 was a year that was ignited with a spirit of inquiry and a clear sense of purpose.

It was all business in 2017 with the grand opening of our Year 3 marketing company 'The Ideas Factory'. Our first Annual General Meeting fostered some interesting conversations about the types of consumers we see in our community and the wants and needs that drive their purchasing choices. With great anticipation we received our first client briefs from our general managers, Mrs Watters, Mr Dimauro and Mr Schuyler. All that was left was for us to test our newfound marketing knowledge by creating multi-modal advertising campaigns to increase sales locally and across the world. Speaking of the big wide world, our Geography Unit took us travelling all around it. We discovered who our close neighbours are and explored the similarities and differences between Australia and the countries of South America and Africa. We even put ourselves in the shoes of an international local to create a faction story (realistic fiction) that demonstrated the knowledge we gained throughout our research inquiries. There was an amazingly diverse range of characters from Chilean miners to ancient Egyptian princesses. Of course, all this research didn't come easily and we needed to carefully hone our literacy and numeracy skills along our travels. We challenged ourselves during maths explorations and endeavoured to find the quickest and most efficient strategies for attacking complex problems. We continued to develop our comprehension, became experts in determining what information was important and used our detective skills to infer what our amazing authors were secretly telling us. This year was full of challenges and triumphs. Navigating these was great fun, but it was the fact we did it as a team of learners that made it all the more enjoyable. With that, it is on to our next chapter, Middle School, a place where we will no doubt continue our learning journey and experience many more years of friendship and success.

This term in Year 2 we have been inquiring collaboratively into the big question, 'What is Weather?' The first thing we did was get into mixed class and gender groups to try to come up with a definition about what weather actually means. Chloe Bowyer in 2A even contacted Jane Bunn to ask her!!! We conclusively came up with this definition: Weather is a lot of things like lightning, sun, hail, snow, clouds, wind and water. Weather comes from the sky and is made up of particles and water cells. It can be hot, cold, chilly, humid, wet or dry. Weather can be sometimes strong and scary and sometimes calm, still and beautiful. It might make you feel happy like when you see a rainbow. Weather can change with the seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring. From here our young meteorologists worked in small inquiry groups to explore a particular weather aspect such as wind, storm activity, rain, clouds or UV rays. They researched using iPads and non-fiction material to create an informative poster or booklet. We held a competition to see who could design the best banner for our base. After holding an anonymous vote, the children voted in Campbell Van Elst's submission. The banner was then sent off to be printed on a large scale. The students' next task was to begin creating (using some imaginative license and a lot of foil) simple inventions that could be used to measure their particular kind of weather. We were very impressed with not only the children's inventiveness but also their ability to explain how their invention would help us learn about and measure the weather. The project culminated in an exhibition where parents and members of the Campbell House community were invited to come and see our experiments in action and to ask questions and learn from our young meteorologists. This was a wonderful showcase of the depth of learning that had layered upon itself as the children strove for deeper understanding of the weather phenomenon.

Throughout Term 3 the Year 2 students' wanderings were invoked by the announcement of the redevelopment of Campbell House. The children's curiosities led them to asking such questions as "Why do we need a new school?" "What's wrong with the school we have?" and so our journey of discovery and inquiry began. To make sure that our future school would meet the needs of the next generation, the Year 2s began to brainstorm reasons why we needed schools in society. Nikolas Didulica suggested, "We need schools to give us a good education, so we can read, write and do Maths. That way we can get a good job in the future". The children begun to unpack what makes a "good" job and what makes a "bad" job. It was agreed that anything can be a 'good job' if the person doing that job was happy. The students wanted to learn more about the many different occupations in the world. They asked their parents to come in and talk about what they did in their occupation. The children were amazed at the varying occupations there were, from Vet, Teacher and Land Rights Surveyor to Surgeon, GP and Professional Sports Stars! Hearing from their parents, encouraged students to think about the occupation they may like to do in the future. "What jobs would there be in the future?" asked Campbell Van Elst. "Will they be different from now?" We organised an excursion to Sovereign Hill to look at the occupations of the past and how they had changed to the present day. Students experienced lolly and candle making, blacksmiths, carriage designers and engineers just to name a few. On our return, Arabella Taylor reflected on how the occupations had changed, "In the past, things were made by hand more and now we make things by machine. They don't need as many people anymore." The children used this idea to think about what jobs may be on offer in the future and write applications in the hope of achieving their dream future job.

This is the motto that lA came up with during our unit that started the school year. It was called, Learning to Learn. During this unit of work we focussed on what good learning looks like to guide our investigations and thinking throughout the year. Our first unit of inquiry for the year centred on the idea of a home. We asked: What is the difference between a house and a home? • I think a home is a happy place. A house is something that is not lived in. A home is where people live. You keep your heart and love there so that you will all be happy.
It can be noisy at home and your heart beats really fast. When it is quiet your heart beats really slowly. Our survey of homes then morphed into an investigation of animal homes after a nature walk around the grounds of Campbell House. We wondered: Do animals need a home just like we do? What would happen if animals lost their home? What would the world be like without bees and insects? What are the names of the spiders that live in our garden? What would the world be like without bugs and flowers? Most of the animals found during our excursion into the outdoors were bugs. Each child chose one of these animals to research. The children used the iPads and information texts to explore their topic. 'Minibeast Wildlife' also came to visit us to enhance our understanding of these types of animals. The published information report about our insect was shared with our parents during Student Led Conferences. In Art, Mrs Plumridge told us about her favourite insect, the Peacock spider. We painted a picture of this amazing spider and some of our work can be seen in one of our photos. Other investigations during the year focussed on chemical changes and physical reactions. A particular highlight was the unit of work called, The Room of Rainbows. Carolyn Ogston Learning f\!lentor: Carolyn Ogston

Inspired by the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, the children in 1B explored the importance of home. They were first asked 'What is the difference between a house and a home?' Here are some of our responses:
Will: A home is small and a house is big.
Oliver: A home can be for animals and a house is built out of wood, but animal homes they make themselves. Scarlett: Houses are similar to homes. Katie: Some houses are made out of brick and some are made out of wood. Charlie: Homes are more like where you live, and houses are more like where you visit or borrow. Over the course of the semester many aspects of homes were discussed and investigated. We looked at homes around the world and shared ideas about why they are built differently. Interested in the design and construction phases, we decided to become architects and builders ourselves. We looked at blue prints and had the following thoughts:
Grace: We are learning how homes are built... and how they are structured and constructed. Charli: There are instructions on how to build them. Charles: They are the plans that the builders make, so they can show the constructors that make it like that. The final step of our investigation was to design and build our own homes. We became architects by pairing up, drawing our designs and writing a procedural text about how we would build it. We included the materials we would need and the steps we would have to follow. At last it was time to become builders! During the construction phase we followed our plans as closely as we could, making changes and improvements along the way. When finished, we decided to put all of our homes together and make a town - roads and all!

Year lC - a Community - Connecting, collaborating, communicating, combining and co-constructing learning opportunities. From Day 1 we have worked strongly together to develop, maintain and sustain a culture that encourages and models confidence, cooperation and a real sense of community effort, as we learn, make mistakes, learn from our experiences and continue on our learning journey, together. We have developed strong connections with nature and have enjoyed taking our inside learning outside and our outside learning inside. The children developed a natural interest in our local environment and this developed into several class learning projects that helped us to better understand and appreciate our natural surroundings and our Aboriginal cultural heritage. Our learning inquiries enabled us to enjoy many wonderful experiences including a Smoking Ceremony by local elders and an excursion to Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Grovedale, Geelong. We welcomed participation in National Sorry Day and our Junior School Ngarrweerreeng Day. This has been a year of connecting, understanding and compassion.

"Learning never exhausts the mind." Leonardo da Vinci
Inquiry based learning in the early years at school excites young minds. Finding out about new things and challenging ideas, theories and understandings has been our constant endeavour in Prep A this year. Our Science based projects gave the children many opportunities to do this, and the children's interest in owls was the provocation for a project that stretched across the whole year. The children learnt about owls from each other, from books and short films. An incursion from 'Meet the Beaks' and a field trip to Dog Rocks to go Owling, gave the children authentic experiences with these beautiful creatures. The children enjoyed opportunities to share their ideas in group discussions and then use their co-constructed knowledge to create written texts about owls and to create detailed drawings. Owls sit in trees and look like wood, they sit there to be camouflaged - Zane Owls have 100 percent seeing, but only about 23 percent hearing - Lily No, it's at least 45 percent hearing, Lily; owls are really good at hearing stuff Ollie So, if they can't see their prey, they can hear it - Hamish The feathers around the face help the owls with the hearing - Lottie The feathers sense the vibrations - Lily Owl eyes can't move - Ollie They're not balls like ours, they're a tube shape, so the owls must turn their heads instead. Because they have more bones in their neck, they can nearly turn their head all the way around - Lucy We have 7 bones in our neck and owls have 14 bones - Simran And they have the bones that hold their eyes still - Nico The eyes are held at the front of their head - Lily That's so they can see things from high in a tree - Nieve And owls always hunt at night - Tom Because their eyes can't move - Nina But they have glow in their eyes and they use that to see - Lottie It's too bright for their eyes in the day- Deyar Too bright because their eyes are too big and let too much sun in - Esme

Prep B started their first year of school getting to know each other. We found we had lots of things in common with each other, as well as lots of differences. As the year progressed, we became interested in finding out about different cultures. Julien - People can talk different languages and have different voice tones. They speak different languages {like] Chinese, Japanese and Australian. Harper - Some people speak different from us. Kai - I lived in Columbia but I was born in the United States. Chloe - I'm from Hong Kong. They spoke Chinese and English at my school. Daisy - Some people have to have guide dogs to guide them if they can't see. Tilly - Some people are deaf. Gemima - Some people use their hands to talk. Sometimes I do that to my mum and dad. Oliver - Every single person in the world is different from one another. In other countries some people have dark hair and some have bright [hair]. Liam - Their faces are different, their eyes are different. Imogen - My whole family is different. My mum sometimes wears glasses, my dad speaks French.
We were then lucky enough to have some Prep B relatives share information about their cultures. Kate - We learned about some of the different foods they eat. Henry- I liked it when Julien's dad brought in the food and tea. Charlie - They have nuts to play games [in Italy]. Zarli - [Cameron '.s mum showed us] how we can make little paper things [origami]. Lachlan - I liked the custard buns from Julien'.s dad. Cameron - I liked the prawn crackers from China. Zachary - The tea was very yummy. Finn - I liked the biscuits, the biscuits with the caramel stuff and the biscotti. Grace - [In the] Chinese books the writing went down the page. Miss Allan - How did they talk in South Africa? Julien - By clicking [their tongues]. Sachindri - There was South African sign language. Daisy- [In Italy} they go home at lunch and they help their mums make spaghetti and then they have a sleep. Seamus - I have a sister called Aislin and she sleeps in the afternoon.

This year the children in EL3A have shown a big interest in all things tools and building. We have been learning from each other all about different tools and what they are used for, which led us to wanting to build something for Early Learning. After much discussion, the children decided it would be a good idea to build our pet rabbit Flopsy a new home. The children then got to work designing what the house should look like. Once the plan was in place then it was time to go to Bunnings to buy all the materials needed for the new house. Therefore, we all hopped on to the school bus and drove to Bunnings. We explored Bunnings finding all the tools and materials we needed. We got some tools - Archer I found a sledgehammer and got to hold it - Auggie I was with Mrs Motiani's group, the hammer group. Daddy found the biggest hammer - Amelie I was with Mrs Kelly and we bought the toolbox - Rafael I was with Mrs Dye and we got screwdrivers - Hugo And we had hot chocolates and tool cookies - Hugo We were with Mrs Kelly and we bought the shifter - Auggie Those pencils go in your ears - Paddy We brought two levels - Auggie You level with them - Georgia It is a ruler level - Auggie We chose the screwdrivers. We can use them for Flopsy's cage - Brydie We will make Flopsy cage - Amelie I saw earmuffs for your ears, to make it not so noisy - Brydie Then we found a sign that said tools - Madison I saw a hammer and some screwdrivers. We can use them to screw nails in to the wood to make Flopsy's house - Willow
The children have been on a lovely journey together through this project, learning together about the the importance of caring for others and other living things. The children have also learnt lots about tools, which has also led to learning about different trades and what jobs they do.

The inspiration for project work in Early Learning can sometimes come from a small spark in a conversation. In Early Learning 3B this year we have been very excited about exploring mushrooms, thanks to Clem telling us all about the 'Magic Mushies' that grow at his house. They are red and you can't eat them as you will get sick Clem told us. With the teachers holding the mindset that the children are active, competent protagonists of their own growth and learning {Edwards, The Hundred Languages of Children) the Magic Mushie project was born. Penelope suggested that we look for mushrooms around our school, which quickly grew to a full scale search for mushrooms at our next visit to Bush Kinder at Dog Rocks. During our reflection on bush kinder on our return to school, the children expressed that finding mushrooms was one of their favorite things about bush kinder, even more fun than the bus!
Gulliver - The mushrooms, I like the yellow ones and other ones too. Angus - I did love the mushrooms, I loved the one mushroom. Henry- We took them, but we didn't eat them. Nathan - I liked the mushrooms, the red ones they are beautiful. Listening to what the children already know about our world, the Magic Mushie project has offered us the opportunity to learn together about fungi and mushrooms; their shape, growth, powers and consumption. We have explored mushrooms through growing them in our room, cooking and tasting them, hunting for them around our school and at bush kinder, drawing and sculpting mushrooms. The project culminated with the planning and development of a giant mushroom for us all to sit in.

Early in the year it was evident that an interest in treasure was emerging. From searching for jewels in the sandpit, to constructing a 'Lost Treasure Machine' from blocks ... it was clear that treasure could be a vehicle for explorations of many kinds. The beginning of a project was born. Children began noticing treasures from Mother Earth whilst walking around the school. We soon realised that there is more to treasure than just pirates! Children's ideas about treasure spanned far from material objects into the natural world. We wondered what kinds of natural treasures we might find if we were to really look hard. Our nature play visits to Dog Rocks would be the perfect place to start! Children decided to make a treasure box to house their most special treasure discovery. Children drew their designs, then used clay to create them, before firing and painting. Before heading to the land a list of predicted treasures from Mother Earth was written and we were excited to see if any unimagined treasures would present themselves! Children ventured to Dog Rocks and over several visits they honed observation skills to uncover the most hidden and delicate treasures the land had to offer. The discovery of a whole and complete kangaroo skeleton on one visit was a highlight. Back at school, children became Treasure Tellers, taking turns to share the treasures they found from Mother Earth. It was a chance to choose one special treasure, ready for their treasure box. Friends asked questions about the treasure in order to find out more. This experience gave children the chance to have a voice in front of their peers and to practise questioning skills whilst attempting to find out more about each item. This journey awakened children's appreciation for the land. It allowed them to begin to fulfil their curiosities and wanderings about Mother Earth as they explored her natural treasures and offerings.

A common area of exploration at Early Learning in 2017 was our cultural connections. We spent a lot of time with nature exploring, encountering, collaborating, discovering, enjoying and noticing. The children have had many opportunities to immerse themselves in nature which has helped them make cultural connections and expand their knowledge. We went on numerous visits to Bush kinder at Dog Rocks, took part in Ngarrweerreeng day, collaborated with our year 4 buddies at Enviro and went on walks and explored our local natural environment including the Barwon River. One highlight was our research into Indigenous culture and traditions which the children expressed through their 100 languages, including song, dance, art and storytelling. We became aware of the ways in which people are connected to places through feelings and memories, while exploring the notion of 'country' and what it means to belong to a place. Country makes everyone's hearts feel better and big and happy- Andre At country we are welcome - Archie
Our time spent in nature helped us further develop respect for diversity and gain an understanding that our differences are what make us who we are. In the forefront of our minds was the fact that we are all citizens of the world. As Educators, we marvelled at the children's ability to spend time in nature and the unhurried and happy way they engaged with our local natural resources. We looked forward to these times and celebrated the potential and capabilities of our children in many ways - as the children remarked ...
It's good for our memories and good for the soul!

Senior School Music The Senior School Music Program is multi-faceted and caters for the broadest range of student interests and proficiencies in and out of the classroom. In the classroom program students had extensive small-group ensemble performance rehearsals and regular performances each term to hone their skills. Theoretical skills were not overlooked, however, and outcomes included writing and recording original songs and instrumental compositions, and utilising technology in composition, aural training and music theory skill development. The extensive extra-curricular program included a range of vocal and instrumental groups, large and small. In addition to the regular Music Evenings held each term, 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 excellent performances. The Stage Band achieved an outstanding result, gaining a 3rd place in Division 3. This event, held over a weekend in May, also gave students the opportunity to hear world-class performances by Australian and international artists. • House Music, held during Term 2, was adjudicated by old-Collegian Robert Tripolino, currently starring in the Melbourne production of 'Aladdin'. The competition was as intense as usual with excellent performances of a wide range of repertoire, particularly in the small group section. Congratulations to the 2017 winners, McArthur House.
• The Symphony Orchestra presented their annual joint concert with the Junior School String Orchestra, concluding the program with a lively combined item. The senior students also demonstrated instruments of the orchestra that were less familiar to the junior students. In the annual Foundation Concert, the Concert Band, String & Symphony Orchestras, Stage Band and Choir gave some memorable performances to an appreciative audience. Our Music Captain, Alicia Newton, gave a virtuosic performance on the violin in her concerto performance with the String Orchestra. Another highlight of the concert was a reprise performance of Paul Jarman's inspiring 'Teller of Stories', the song cycle commissioned for our Sesquicentenary in 2010, and involving a massed choir comprised of Middle and Senior School Choirs together with the Community Choir a wonderful way to start the concert. The Year 12 VET band performed in the Costa Theatre and at Beav's Bar in the city, sharing their program with an up and coming Year 10 band. Both the Year 11 and 12 VET bands shared the final concert held in the George LogieSmith auditorium, enhanced by excellent sound and lighting. 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, ably represented by Music Captain, Alicia Newton, and Vice-Captain, James Bennett-Hullin, for their contributions to the vibrant musical life of our school.

The Performance calendar at Middle School in 2017 has been inclusive, rich and vibrant with all instrumentalists participating in many concerts throughout the year.
"We're learning by caring and doing" - proclaim the lyrics of one of the songs by the Year 4 students for their CD, reflecting on their year in the Enviro.
In addition to the Otway, Moorabool and Balyang String Orchestras, the Stage Band and Barwon Concert Band, a new group has been initiated known as the Swan Bay Band. This ensemble caters for beginner students on woodwind, brass and percussion to experience the fun and reward of playing together in a band scenario. Students have also had the opportunity to play in a variety of smaller chamber groups including Cellisimo, string trios, and ensembles for woodwind, guitar and percussion.
In Music, creating and performing (the 'doing' side of music) has formed the basis for much of the classroom Music program at the Middle School. In addition to writing lyrics for the songs on their CD, Year 4 students used their knowledge of rhythm and pitch to compose recorder melodies and to create backing tracks for their songs performed on their own recycled instruments. They were inspired in this process by the performance in Term 3 of the visiting group 'Zeeko', a three-member ensemble who make use of unconventional instruments and concern for the environment as inspiration for their music.
There were many choral highlights this year. Special moments included the House Music competition at the end of Term 2 and the Foundation Concert where all Middle School choirs combined to perform the passionate and stirring song cycle 'Tellers of Stories' written by Paul Jarman. The 'City of Stars' video produced by members of the Primary Boys' and Girls' choirs was also presented at the Foundation Concert and there were entertaining performances by the Secondary Girls' Choir at the Large Ensemble Music Evening. We welcomed students from the Eltham High School Band who performed for our students and participated in a workshop with the Barwon Concert Band.
Composition and performance skills were extended in Year 5 through the 'Allegro Program' with students improvising, composing and performing on an orchestral instrument. This year, students also used recordings of themselves playing their own composition for use in a Scratch animation or game. Year 6 students expressed themselves in rap and used their performance skills to present a program for an audience in Term 4 as part of the unit 'The Big Gig'.
Bravo to our dedicated musicians at The Geelong College!
The integration of music with other areas of the curriculum continued in Year 7 with the 'I am a Songwriter' Unit joining forces with Drama to produce soundtracks for fairy-tale plays. The Year 7 students also explored learning an orchestral instrument through the 'Instrument Discovery Program'. A new unit, 'Chords and 'boards', saw the Year 8 students exploring harmony and keyboard playing and applying these skills to create compositions and re-mix old pieces via Mixcraft. Meanwhile, the 'ChartBusters' Unit gave the Year 8 students the chance of being in their own rock band, rehearsing and performing contemporary music. All in all, another successful year of 'doing' musical learning by listening, creating and performing.

Throughout the year the students impressed us with their high level of skill and maturity in approach to playing. We heard many performances at assemblies, parent information evenings, informal lunchtime concerts, the Middle School Piano recital, year-level dinners, Chamber and Large Ensembles Music Evenings, Christmas and graduation services. In addition to this, many students have undertaken AMEB practical and theoretical examinations this year and have achieved excellent results.
Junior School Music 2017 has been a fulfilling year with performance opportunities for all students at the Junior School. Lunchtime concerts have taken place every term in front of parents, family and friends, allowing students who were new to performing, as well as more experienced students, to play in a relaxed, supportive environment. Each week staff have enjoyed the performances at assembly, from the Otway Orchestra, to musical items performed by individual classes and whole school performances from time to time. Students in the Year 2 String Program and the String Orchestra had significant performances this year at Music Evenings in Terms 2 and 4 which showcased their learning during class lessons and Thursday morning rehearsals. In addition, the String Orchestra combined once again with the Senior School Symphony Orchestra for the annual concert in Term 3 held in the Keith Humble Centre. This was a wonderful opportunity for the younger students to share their music making with the senior students and to hear the full range of instruments in the orchestra. The rousing massed finale item was 'Knock Polka'. There were some very frosty mornings during winter to test the commitment of our students attending the rehearsals for the Mini Singers and Singing Sensations choirs on Fridays, however, they participated enthusiastically, having great fun with some choir games, singing and movement activities. They shared their beautiful voices and choreography with audiences in several performances.
The Foundation Concert featured performances from the String Orchestra, Mini Singers and Singing Sensations, who all performed like seasoned artists on the stage of Costa Hall, Deakin University. Year 3 students were involved in two special Music Evenings: Year 3 'Sings' in Term 2, featured songs from 'Oliver' and 'Annie' and concluding with the final song 'It's a Hard Knock Life' which displayed their own choreography and which was warmly received. Year 3 Instrumental Evening in Term 3, featuring solo and group performances by instrumental students together with staff items. This year we formed a Marimba Band involving interested Year 3 students who rehearsed during a lunchtime and gave the first performance at an assembly in Term 3. Other events during the year which featured music included Reconciliation Day, the Year 3 Graduation, Music Vivo at Middle School and the wonderful Christmas Service to conclude the year. I would like to thank all instrumental teachers, staff, parents and students for a wonderful year of music.

Cricket The 1st XI experienced a challenging season, but to their credit they were competitive in most games. In the 50 over games prior to Christmas, Oscar Brownless and Jack Henderson were our leading run scorers and Charlie Sprague our leading wicket taker. After Christmas the 1st XI went to New Zealand and enjoyed the annual Quadrangular series against St Andrews College Christchurch, Scots College Wellington (the hosts) and Scotch College Adelaide. The highlight of the season came against Haileybury; getting our first win in thrilling fashion. It was always going to be tough defending our small total of 123, but a superb bowling performance led by Lachie Bartlett with 4 wickets saw us bowl them out for 111. In the second innings of the game, Matt Dowling made a crucial 53 to save us from a reverse outright. Other notable performances in the two-day competition were an outstanding 85 not out by Lachie Field, Harry Unkenstein's 69 off 90 concentration-filled overs and Fraser Locke's best figures of 6/42. Our Coach, Scott Lindsay and Team Manager, Greg Hansen not only helped us with our cricket, but they have also been great mentors. This year was about learning, developing young players and enjoying our cricket, and we thank them both for judging us on our effort and not the outcome. The 2nd XI finished with 5 wins from 10 games. The boys performed consistently well throughout the season. Strong performances from Lochie and Cooper Hosking, Sam Conway, Hugh Mitchell and Billy Zebra ensured the 2nd XI were always a team that oppositions couldn't take lightly. A victory against arch-rivals, Geelong Grammar School in the final round was a great way to end a most enjoyable season. A huge thanks to our coaches Stephen Anastasiu and Ian Sahlstrom for providing inspiration and encouragement regardless of the situation.
The lOA team enjoyed a very encouraging season. They were very competitive in a tough competition and enjoyed two good wins (as well as a narrow one-run loss). The team consisted of half Year 9 and half Year 10 boys which augers well for the future. Highlights of the season included Matthew Thacker's 47 against MGS; Lachlan Jones taking 3/32 against St Kevins; Kaiden Carlin's hard hitting 27 against BGS: Josh High's consistent leg spin bowling; Nick Burke's 3/12 and James Potts' 37 steering us to victory against Carey. Special thanks go to Brendan Parker and Ross Price for their guidance and support of the boys throughout the season. The lOBs had a challenging season, unable to score a win. Some highlights included Finn Walsh coming in at 11 to make our top score of 21 against Wesley; Nick Koroneos' consistent line and length bowling; and some hard hitting from Tim Lazzaro. Even though the team struggled, the boys still enjoyed their cricket and learnt much from their dedicated coaches Daniel Fanning and Tom Duggan. They not only made training really enjoyable, but they gave us confidence and belief every week. The 9Bs summer finished with a well-earned victory after a challenging season. Ed Kol made some valuable runs throughout the season and Jackson Williams was consistent with both the bat and ball. Tom Blakely was consistently solid at the top of the order and kept well throughout the season. All the players gave their best effort every week and are to be commended on maintaining a positive attitude and playing the game in good spirit. Thanks must go to our Coach, Xavier Seller for all his support and guidance throughout the season.

Cricket Tour The 2017 Cricket Tour of the United Kingdom was a most memorable experience. It all started after a long, sleepless flight where we landed in Manchester International Airport to a chilly 4 degrees - welcome to summer in England.
Next, some rest from the cricket as we enjoyed 3 magnificent sight-seeing days in and around Bath. We visited ancient Stonehenge, the historic city of Salisbury (including the Cathedral and the Magna Carta) and the Roman Baths.
The first stop was a guided tour of Manchester United's home ground - Old Trafford Stadium. This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. After that, we visited the historic Sedburgh School, set in the beautiful Lakes District. Some highlights from the 1st XI game included Joey Nagle top scoring with 35 and a 10 ball over from Paddy Taylor for the first over of the tour. In the 2nd XI game, good batting performances from Paddy Whittakers, Alex Crowe and Tyler McHarry weren't enough to get the boys over the line.
The Hampshire Hogs were our next opponents with Joey Nagle once again starring with the bat, hitting a solid 53 to lead the first XI to a total of 199 on a good batting deck. The Hogs could not reach the target, being bowled out for 53 after Sam Allen took 5/12 and Cooper Hosking took 2/1 off 3 balls.
The next destination was the historic city of Chester where we played against Kings College. Oscar Brownless, Paddy Whittakers, Charlie Mitchell and Jamie Morwood all impressed with the bat while Lachie Jones was the star with the ball, taking 3 wickets.
For our final matches of the tour, we were hosted by the Skinners School in Tunbridge Wells. We played on a beautiful local ground where Kent play some County Cricket matches. We enjoyed a 40 over game one day followed by a T/20 tournament the next. Oscar Brownless scored 86 (the top score of the tour) and was well supported by Lachie Bartlett with 54. Morwood, Nagle, McHarry and Unkenstein made runs while Paddy Taylor and Sam Allen were damaging with the ball in the T/20's.
The small town of Brecon in Mid-Wales was next for a 3 day T/20 festival involving four schools. Kaiden Carlin impressed everyone by hitting a match winning, last over six, against the locals in the 1st game. However, by winning the game Kaiden left the birthday boy, Fraser Locke stranded on 46no after a great knock. Harry Unkenstein, Sam Conway, Alex Crowe and James Potts were others to make runs in Brecon. Ollie Murphy, Lochie Hosking and Billy Zebra enjoyed the seaming conditions to each take 3 wicket hauls. However it was in the field where the best performance of the festival occurred, most notably Paddy Whittakers taking 2 great catches at short cover before trying to field a ball with his face and badly lacerating his lip and snapping a tooth!
The tour finished with some enjoyable sight-seeing days in London. Oscar Brownless took a spectacular crowd catch at the Oval while watching Surrey V Somerset in a County T/20 game to pocket himself a neat 1000 pounds. We also enjoyed a tour of Lords Cricket Ground and a net session in the indoor facility there.
From Brecon we headed to Cardiff where Nick Burke with 56no and Charlie Mitchell 5lno batted beautifully against the Sully Centurions, as did George Johnston and Fraser Locke. Some crafty bowling performances from Cooper Hosking, Tyler McHarry and Sam Allen saw College to a comfortable win. We also played a couple of games in Gloucester; one of them against Yarra Valley Grammar School where Jamie Morwood took 3/20 and made 61; the other against the Crypt School where Nick Koroneos and Sam Conway bowled very well and Fraser Locke, Oscar Brownless and Paddy Whittakers all got amongst the runs.
Year 10 - Kaiden Carlin, Nick Burk, Lachie Jones, James Potts, Joey Nagle, Charlie Mitchell, Nicholas Koroneos Year 11 - Lach/an Bartlett, Fraser Locke, Jamie Morwood, Tyler McHarry, Alex Crowe, Ollie Murphy Year 12 - Patrick Taylor; George Johnston, Paddy Whittakers, Sam Allen, Lochie Hosking, Billy Zebra, Cooper Hosking, Harry Unkenstein, Oscar Brownless, Sam Conway
On behalf of all the boys on tour we would like to thank Mr Gilby for putting in so much effort and time to organize the trip. The boys really appreciated it. We would also like to thank Scott Lindsay, Greg Hanson and Chris Tuohey for their work on the tour.
England Cricket Tour - touring party 2017

Rowing We speak on behalf of all the 197 students who participated in our rowing program during the 2017 season in saying that it was a highly successful and enjoyable experience. We had students as young as Year 7 all the way up to Year 12 compete this season, culminating in an overall 2nd placing for The Geelong College at the 150th APS Head of the River. As Captains of Boats in 2017, we had the privilege of watching every crew progress across the season, ending in some hardearned results. Our rowers pushed their mental and physical boundaries across the season and we would like to praise them for giving it their all. This season provided parting Year 12 rowers with a memorable finish, and provided a terrific base for our continuing rowers to build on next season. The senior girls enjoyed the season as a tight-knit squad of 27, composed of three eights. The Girls 1st VIII withstood some trying circumstances and came away with some memorable results, most notably an exciting 2nd place at Head of the River. The Girls 2nd VIII brought home numerous gold medals from a season that earnt them the prestigious titles of Victorian State champions in both the Schoolgirls Coxed VIII and U/19 Coxed VIII, Head of the Schoolgirls champions and Head of the River champions. The Girls 3rd VIII also had a consistent season, culminating in a well-deserved second place in a terrific race against GGS at Head of the River. The Year 9 and 10 girls attacked their seasons with enthusiasm with the goal of increasing effort from one race to the next. Each crew should be proud of their efforts as there were many successful races from each regatta rowed on the Barwon. At Head of the River the junior girls performed exceptionally well with 5 crews coming away with gold medals. The junior girls made a significant contribution to Geelong College's outstanding medal tally at Head of the River.
The Boys rowing season was strong and promising for all Geelong College boys' crews. The senior squad was a large one, with the College represented by three senior eights, two Year 10 eights, and seven Year 9 crews. Undoubtedly the most important regatta in the schoolboy season is the Head of the River, which this year resulted in a number of outstanding achievements. The second senior VIII showed particularly impressive efforts, securing a 3rd place, going down as one of the fastest 'Muckies' crews to date. The Boys 2nd VIII also earnt the title as Victorian Champions in the Male U/19 Coxed VIII's. The Year lOAs achieved a good result making the A final, something they were unable to do throughout the early stages of the season. This reflected great improvement and a reward for hard work. Our seven Year 9 crews had a very rewarding Head of the River experience with three crews making the A Final, which was the best result for many years. Largely coached by last year's finishing Geelong College rowers, all Year 9 crews competed well showing great effort in each race. The College 1st VIII had an exciting season that saw them claim a bronze medal at the Victorian State Championships in the Schoolboys Coxed VIII and Coxed IV. They finished 5th at the Heads of the River and with Nationals starting in Sydney on Monday they were indeed looking to avenge that result. The National Rowing Championships was a highly successful trip. The effort that each race provided our crew with throughout the week ended in our best race of the season in the Schoolboy Coxed VIII A Final with an unbelievable dead heat for 3rd with rivals Melbourne Grammar. This experience was undoubtedly a highlight of the season as the two crews had an opportunity to train alongside each other for a month prior.
The success of the 2017 season is due to all the wonderful people who assist and mentor coxswains and rowers along the way. The commitment shown by our 1st VIII coaches Pam Westendorf and Andrew Cleary along with all other College coaches must be commended, as no rower could have finished the season without their exceptional guidance. We must also thank the teaching staff who helped our program, for their tireless efforts along the Barwon on many nights and days of encouragement and support. To all students who will row next season we wish you all the best and hope that the Geelong College rowing program will be a memorable and well-loved part of your schooling.

Swimming & Diving Boys Swimming
Girls Swimming
The Geelong College Boys' swimming season began in Term 4 2016, and it was clear within the first handful of Saturday competitions that it was going to be a good year with many successes. The season was filled with commitment and enthusiasm, with the majority of the team attending the many physically demanding training sessions set day and night, Monday to Friday. With the help and dedication of our coaches Dean Alchin and Mitch Norton the College swim team was ready to take on the GISSA swim competition where we competed against schools from Geelong and the Bellarine. The boys swam to the best of their abilities and gave it their all taking away second place overall. Numerous personal bests were recorded. The boys were ready and pumped to take their swimming to the next level and show our abilities at the APS swim finals at MSAC.
Girls' swimming saw many successes in the pool. The girls started the season in early November 2016. We attended many morning and afternoon training sessions aimed to get us back up to pace after a long time out of the water. We made numerous early Saturday morning bus trips to compete against the larger Melbourne schools. Many of the junior girls came into the team willing to make friends and not afraid to get involved wherever they could.
The APS finals can be quite a daunting experience for swimmers from smaller schools like The Geelong College, but our boys had a positive attitude and were ready to take on the numerous national level swimmers they were to swim against. This was evident when the boys competed above and beyond our expectations in every event they were placed in, making both myself and Mr Taylor proud of their endeavours despite the odds being against them. The Geelong College placed 9th defeating Carey Grammar. This was a terrific effort and display of the dedication and perseverance by the boys over the season. I would like to thank Mr Taylor for coordinating the boys swimming this season. Also, I'd like to thank Mrs Smith, Mrs Cleary, Ms Henning and Mrs Oates for their encouragement, timing and recording of results throughout the season.
Bryce Newton Captain
The senior girls had a great season with very strong relay teams and individual swimmers placing well in most of their races. This all combined to give us two wins in lead-up meets; a rare occurrence for a College swim team. GISSA was an incredible success for the girls. We competed against schools from Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula at Geelong Grammar. Many personal best times were recorded and ribbons awarded. The girls won the Senior Girls Competition and Overall School Champions; an excellent effort. The final meet of the season was held at MSAC on Tuesday the 21st of March 2017; the Combined APS Swimming Championships. There were many personal bests achieved on the night and standout performances by some of our girls who finished 1st or 2nd against some of the best swimmers in Victoria. Even though the competition was tough, the girls finished 5th, ahead of Geelong Grammar, our closest rivals. A massive thank you must go to Mr Taylor, the teacher in charge of swimming, for making sure that every weekend meet ran smoothly whether we were at home or away. Also thank you to Mitch Norton, Dean Alchin and Eliza Kol for being incredible coaches, never giving up on anyone and always pushing us to be our best.
Last, but not least, thank you to the Staff helpers, Mrs Smith, Ms Henning, Mrs Cleary, Mrs Oates and Mrs Porter for being there to support the girls on the side of the pool at every meet, keeping track of our times and always being encouraging. Good luck to the girls for their future endeavors in the pool. I wish you all the best for the rest of your swimming careers within and outside the school.

Diving The 2017 diving season proved to be one of the best so far. The returning divers worked hard to achieve their goals while being fantastic role models for the newcomers. Although diving may not be as well recognised as some summer sports, all of the divers showed tremendous dedication and professionalism towards the squad. Diving does not involve running around the oval or obtaining the best time possible, but launching oneself off a diving board up to three meters high, correctly executing the dive and landing flawlessly in the water is an achievement in itself. Diving is a strategic and technical sport that does involve the risk of pain and injury. However, the 2017 diving squad battled through the struggles to reap extraordinary results come our Saturday meets and the finals in Melbourne. After an intense but rewarding pre-season, the younger divers were prepared to face their first rounds of competition and the seniors were ready to get back into the swing of things and put some great scores on the board. Trainings this year were outstanding as all divers were one hundred percent committed to producing the best dives possible, all in anticipation of the big finals in March.
A tough selection of 20 divers was chosen to represent the College at the main event of the year, the MSAC finals. All divers performed with diligence and precision to produce some great scores for the night. Special mentions go to Amara Bett, placing second in the under 17 girls division Band Tijanna Young, placing third in the under 17 girls division A. Unfortunately, the Melbourne schools in the boys' competition proved too strong for our developing squad. Nevertheless, some very respectable scores were produced consistently through both nights of competition. On behalf of the diving squad, I would like to express my gratitude to the coaches: George Niewman and Meredith Boardman, for successfully pushing us to achieve daring and courageous dives that we would have thought impossible. Thank you to Ms Ratcliffe, Ms McGucken, Ms Shier, Ms Porter and Mr Cheatley for the organisation and coordination of the season for both Saturday competitions and training days. I would also like to show appreciation to all the parents for the early morning drop offs, after school pickups and supporting us on Saturday meets. The encouragement to push harder and aim higher is a vital aspect of diving that the entire squad benefited from. My final thank you goes to my fellow divers, who were by my side the entire season. I could not have achieved the successes over the years without your support and reassurance. Diving was an incredible highlight of my school life; however, my final year was especially memorable. I wish all future Geelong College divers the best for the promising seasons ahead.

Surfing On Thursday the 4th of May the Geelong College surf team went to Jan Jue beach to battle it out in the Victorian Independent Schools Teams Titles. The Geelong College team was strong with members including Fergus Willett, Jackson Kay, Spencer Kay, Minnie Vorath, Ned Evans, Fletcher Quinlan and Henry Hutchins. The conditions were a serene two-foot with an offshore wind. The team started off well in the semi as Jack Kay had us in the lead from the get-go. The rest of the team consolidated from there with solid scores coming from Fergus Willett and Ned Evans. The team was surfing great so we knew if we bettered our semi score in the final we would win. The final consisted of St Ignatius, Newhaven College, Christian College and ourselves.
The final started with Jack Kay once again showing his consistency getting a pair of excellent scores and then Spencer Kay and myself helping to get to 47 out of a possible 70 for our first three surfers. Fergus built upon that with a nice wave of his own, along with Ned, Fletcher and Minnie playing extremely solid roles. We won the final on a score of 72 with everyone providing what was needed to win. This was a massive score and reflected the shredders on the team. I was stoked with what we achieved in my last year doing the event. We also had Minnie, Lily Harris, Andie Taylor and Millie Roberts competing in the female event with their solid surfing getting them into the final. Thanks to Sam Harris for taking photos and special thanks go to Mr Donovan and Mr Robbins for managing the team and leading us to victory on what was a fantastic day of surfing.

Surf League On Wednesday 22nd February, The Geelong College entered a team of 28 girls and boys into the Schools Surf League at Cosy Corner, Torquay. The day was warm and windy with some strong wind gusts blowing tents over and making missiles of racing boards. The surf was small and messy but our team had some outstanding results throughout the day. In the boys' team, Max Mauderer was unstoppable in the Ul4 Flags and Surf Race, also placing 2nd in the board and 3rd in the sprint.

Tennis Boys Tennis The 2016/2017 APS Boys Tennis Season was a gratifying one for those in the 1st VIII. This was due to the persistence, togetherness and passion for the game displayed by the boys. Although we faced an uphill battle, against some of the best tennis players in Victoria, there were some very memorable games played, irrespective of whether we won or lost. The steady improvement by everyone highlighted the efforts of the team, especially after our extra training and dedication to help achieve our first win in a number of seasons; this was a fantastic and commendable effort by the whole team. The two Vice-captains, James Glover and Declan Skuza gave their best and were vital in our drought-breaking win over rivals Geelong Grammar. The team also had extremely narrow losses to respectable Wesley, Melbourne Grammar and Carey Grammar, winning a considerable number of sets against strong opponents. A massive thankyou to Matthew Hicks who coached us establishing the right attitude and environment to help build the squad to the much-improved team we were at the end of the season. The future is looking bright with a number of Year 8 players in the team this year, gaining valuable experience and winning numerous sets. The 2nd team continued to progress throughout the season, providing strong opposition for any school they faced. The boys trained under coach Nathan Mayes, whose guidance and humour was most beneficial to the boys. Sam Wood was a standout throughout the year and all seconds players were 'pushing' for first's selection during the later part of the season which augers well for next year. The 3rds, 4ths and 5ths all had admirable seasons with the boys having great fun while recording some wins, and improving as the season went on.
The coaches, Mr Naylor, Mr Morgan and Mr Conway, all put in many hours on the side of the court, joining in on occasions, and can be thanked for their commitment to their respective teams. In the 3rds, Toby Lever impressed, and Liam Brown and Lachie Walter were solid throughout the season. The 4ths had multiple great performers with Tom Flanagan and Harry Breer often making the best players list. The 5ths worked steadily with Andrew Liu, Angus McDonald and Danny Nguyen regularly playing well. The younger generation have begun to shine through for the College with a wealth of young talent. The Year lOA team, under guidance from experienced coach Phil Rich, had a number of very good wins against strong opposition with Max Kokalis, Julian Selway, Nick Delaney and Sam Rowbottom amongst the best players. The lOC team were guided by Ms Hallows and worked well throughout the season to improve their Tennis. Josh Costa was regularly amongst the best performers. The youngest teams of the Senior School, the Year 9s had great success. The 9Bs, coached by Mitch Field, had a number of wins and two very close losses with Michael Pan and Sam Witherden having standout seasons. All other players performed well in a very even team! The 9C boys could not be faulted for their efforts winning a number of matches under the guidance of Connor Jimmieson. Kye Mears, Patch Grace-Long and Declan Marshall were consistent in their form throughout the season. Thankyou to all the coaches and especially Mrs Filling, who deserves a well-earned break after her hard work to make another season of tennis fantastic for all involved.

Girls Tennis The 2016 - 2017 Geelong College girls' Tennis season was a very successful and a very memorable one for all teams. Everyone did an amazing job at training as well as always having a positive attitude towards competition games. The Firsts team had an incredible season, coming 4th overall on the APS ladder. We had an excellent 9 wins out of 12 games, with an impressive performance by all members. The team consisted of players from Year 9 to Year 12, all with skills and talent. Our coach, Evie Dominikovic always gave us the best advice and support. A huge thank you to Evie, for we would not have come this far without her. She has taught us the significance of 'team spirit' and also to never give up at matches, especially against stronger teams. Special thanks to my Vice-Captain, Claudia Rose and my fellow Year 12, Izzy Greer, for all their support this year, and for being amazing role models for the team. Well done to the girls in Years 9, 10 and 11 for an amazing job this season and good luck in the years to come. The Second Greens, winning most of their matches had a very memorable season. Well done to these girls for their efforts as they improved their game each week. Many thanks to their beloved coach Sue Anderson, who greatly supported the team and was a critical factor in their achievements. The Second Blue team, coached by Connor Jimmieson and managed by Ms Kylie Saunders, had many tough matches, but always tried their best against those competitors. Congratulations to these girls for displaying good sportsmanship and hard work each week.
The Thirds had an unbelievable season, finishing with countless wins and barely any losses. They were coached by Ms Guillermina Ulloa, who never doubted the girls' ability to win. Well done to these girls for a fabulous season.
It was a remarkable season for the Inter A team, coached by Jordan Drew, producing some outstanding wins and learning from their losses. Throughout the season, the Inter Bs had some really close games, always showing great determination. They were coached by Emma Nixon, who gave full support to the team, watching them improve their skills and techniques. She also coached the new Inter C team added this year due to a huge increase in tennis players and managed by Mrs Leigh Knight. It was wonderful to see these girls perform well in their tennis matches this year. Thank you to all of the coaches, and special thanks to Mrs Filling who worked behind the scenes so that everything would operate smoothly, and effectively. Her determination towards this season's tennis and her encouraging attitude were much appreciated by all staff, coaches and parents, and especially by all players. We also had a lot of help from the Tennis Parent Support group who did an amazing job every weekend displaying the best spread of morning tea at matches and also supporting us throughout the season. A special thank you to the convenor David Blight. Well done to the Year 12s for this very memorable season, and good luck to everyone next season, and the years ahead.

Shooting The Geelong College's interschool shooting team is a small team involved in the College sports program over lots of years but it represents the school at a high level of shooting through lots of competitions. This year we have 11 team members and growing with more students keen to be involved, they are usually split into two squads, and compete in different forms of events across Victoria and NSW under high safety standards. These competitions bring huge numbers to each competition as many schools across the state have large teams and is part of their curriculum; many are country schools and it is an increasing sport. The team have bonded together in long and eventful bus trips to Yering, Noorat and Minyip, just to name a few have given the group a shooting experience in many different formats. The bus trips are enjoyable and full of good sportsmanship.
It is an honour to be a part of this squad and captain of these young, talented shooters who are from rural and urban areas around Geelong.
Jack Holdsworth and Charlie Richardson have shown outstanding shooting this year and great efforts at out events. Jack finding himself coming 3rd at the Noorat gun club out of 250 shooters. He then went to the State zoned school championship, shooting a 27 out of a possible 30, gaining him a spot in the shoot-off coming third overall on the day. A great effort. Another highlight of the season was a perfect round for Charlie Richardson at the Noorat competition, to complement other fantastic performances through the season. All other team members have shown great commitment and are making improvements in all of their results. The College Shooting team offers a terrific co-curricular activity that is quite different from any other sporting experience. The boys were extremely lucky to have both Mr Kayler-Thomson and Mr Viktor Cebergs to support the shooting team.
Jack Holdsworth Captain
Netball The 2017 Netball Season has been comprised of many challenging, competitive and exhausting moments to be shared by all. The nature of APS sport which College provides its students is a great privilege; an opportunity to make new friends and memories in a situation completely different from our regular routine in the classroom. Specifically, Netball is a sport highly regarded and enjoyed by a great number of girls, having 18 teams in total! The Junior teams from Middle School have shown potential and enjoyment in their game, under the guidance of Mrs JulieAnne Hussey. The results displayed have reflected the hard work and determination of some of our youngest, but finest netball stars! These efforts ought to be acknowledged through the high scoring nature of all Junior teams. This includes the Junior A girls' outstanding 42 goals in one game, Junior B Green's 41 goals in one game; an amazing effort from a consistently high scoring team and the Junior C Blue who came out 57 to 0 in their match against Yarra Valley. Moving up the ranks to our Inter Teams at the Senior Campus, this consistency and determination in matches was similarly reflected. The quality of netball presented by these teams began to show maturity and skill, with the quality of their netballing improving. The two Inter C teams worked hard, under the guidance of Jade Davie and Maddie Evans. The Inter Bs had a "roller-coaster" like season, either winning or losing their matches by the smallest of margins, or dismissing their competition by sometimes 20 or more so goals. Our Inter A team has faced a highly competitive season, whereby their skills were pushed and made great progress, with consistent star performances by Tessa Longden and Eliza Walsh.
Our senior teams have had an exciting season. Our 3rds girls had a season where a single win was had, but a great group of girls allowed for the season to be nothing less than a great experience for all involved. The 2nds Greens should be congratulated for their hard work in training, under the guidance of Mrs Newett. The Second Girls Blue showed determination, having won multiple matches by the smallest of margins. Paige Sutterby, Olivia Evans, Olympia Binos, Ava Gorrell and Millie Martin are to be congratulated for their stand out performances during the season. The lsts girls had a most memorable season. Being a very new and young team, the girls worked and trained hard, which took its toll during the Saturday matches. The 1st team went up against the strongest teams in the APS, and when they played together cohesively, it seemed the two wins which were had were well deserved. I would personally like to thank these girls for making my last season of APS netball as enjoyable as it was. I encourage all girls who have already, or who desire to, to choose Netball as their Winter Sport. The memories I have made within different combinations of teams, since playing netball for the school since Year 3, have been some of the fondest memories made in my time at school.

Softball The 2017 Softball season was productive and educational while also being enjoyable. All teams started the season with great enthusiasm and this was maintained until our very last games. We experienced dramatic improvements in individual skill development and teamwork thanks to our awesome and dedicated coaches. The 1st IX were almost undefeated, improving significantly since last season with fabulous coaching and mentoring from Shannon Dunn. Her fun approach to trainings and games helped us to bond and play as a united team. Our fielding was unstoppable, rarely making an error, so much so that the opposition teams struggled to get past first base because of our lightning quick responses. Batting was a major improvement point for the team; something we consistently worked on for the entire season. This improvement couldn't have been achieved without the amazing tips and support provided by the Firsts' coach Shannon Dunn and assistance from softball Teacher in Charge Ms Kristen Pelletier. The 2nd team coached by Emma Josey and Lynne Willmott picked up valuable skills which they can further work on and carry on into next season. Although 'the war' was lost for the 2nd girls, many of the 'battles were won', as the level of skill and teamwork executed in the victorious games was exemplary from such a young team. Training with the 1sts was always fiercely contested. Former Collegian Lauren Heyward, with the super organised assistance of Jacki Smith, coached our junior team. Thanks to Lauren's firsthand game experience, she was able to impart key game knowledge and skills that will form the foundation of our teams in the future.
The 1st IX consisted of many talented and experienced girls that have been dedicated to Softball for a number of years. Jessica McLaughlin and Sarah Ali worked together to stop any runners from reaching third base. Chloe Hedditch, with her gun throws to Tori Wood; Brittany Neate, quick on her feet to back up at all times; Paige Costa, with her constant praise and encouragement and Georgie McKinnon's outstanding batting skills all contributed to winning games. Neive Duerden, Zaya Alfrink and Ashleigh Grace-Long's team commitment should not go unrecognised, nor should rookie Rebecca Lam's amazing improvement throughout the season, finishing up as our opening batter. Titania Mayer always had our back as our number one pitcher and a great co-leader for our team and to Josie Brzoska, our support pitcher always ready to fill in. What a season!!!! Well done Softballers.

Golf On Monday 1st May, the Geelong College golf team of Max Green and Stirling Shier travelled to Spring Valley Golf Club to play in the AGSV Invitational Golf Championship. This is an annual event, played previously for many years at Royal Melbourne. Member schools from the AGSV, along with schools from the Associated Public Schools (APS) and Ballarat Associated Schools (BAS) are invited to play in this annual championship. Unfortunately we were unable to field a team for the teams event, but in windy conditions, which made for a trying day of golf, both Max and Stirling played good golf to score 83 and 89 respectively. The Championship was won by Haileybury.

On the 1st of September, two Middle School students competed in the inaugural GISSA Golf Tournament, held at the Curlewis Golf Club. The boys competed against schools from the Geelong area, in an individual Stableford event. Our two competitors had a strong showing, with Stirling Shier finishing 6th overall with a score of 29 points, and Angelo Binos finishing 10th with a score of 27 points. It was a terrific initiative by St Ignatius College to hold a golfing event within the GISSA calendar, and we look forward to it becoming an annual occurrence.

Waterpolo Boys Waterpolo The Boys' 2017 Water Polo season was short and exciting. With plenty of new and returning faces, the school was lucky enough to field very competitive teams in the 2nd, Year 10 and Year 9 divisions. The 2nd Boys had a very successful season and were one of the best teams in the division. There were a number of standout players. Liam Chalmers, always managed to find the back of the net, being one of the team's highest goal scorers. Cary Foley flourished in his new role as goalkeeper and both Charlie Batrouney and Lachie Sutherland developed into great players, consistently stringing together strong performances. But the success of the team wouldn't have been possible without the contribution of all 19 players. The Year 10s showed promising signs for the future of College Water Polo. They worked well together to finish the season with a few good wins. James Patterson, James McGuire, James Fulton and Nick Conway were regularly among the best players. Despite not winning a game, the Year 9s improved each training session and each game. They continued to learn the rules, skills and tactics and often matched it with other teams for some quarters of their games. Nick Symons, Ed Kol, Xavier Zeytoun and Jack Kennett were the team's best players. We'd like to acknowledge the hard work of the coaches, Dean Alchin, Bruce Symons, Chris Patterson, Gus Boyd and Keeley Murrihy for their words of wisdom at training and games. Also to Mr Clifford and Mrs Porter for their work behind the scenes in the organisation of games and transport. Lastly to the parents for their ongoing support. Thanks for a great season.
Nicholas Kemp Captain
Girls Waterpolo The 2017 Girls' Water Polo season was a great success. Coming off a couple of very tough and winless seasons, the achievements made by the girls' squad are to be recognised and celebrated. The Geelong College entered three girls' teams into the APS; the 1st and 2nd Girls, and also a Year 9 team, which included budding water-polo athletes from the Middle School campus. The 1st Girls' achievements this year should not be overlooked. After a tough and winless season last year, we started with a good win over Carey. By improving our skills and agility in multiple morning sessions, we came away with another four wins under our belt, which for the Year 12s was a great way to end our last season of APS sport. All-star performances by centre forward Eliza Lawson, as well as the selflessness of part time goalie, Katie Archer, (when she would rather be tearing it up on the field), should also be recognised. Izzy Greer and Grace Stewart were instrumental in our successes. Congratulations to Eliza Lawson, Olympia Binos and Brianna Perry who had a great experience playing in the APS Representative match versus the GSV team at the end of the season. Thanks also to our coach Keeley Murrihy. Her guidance during each match and the assistance of Dean Alchin at training were vital to our success. The 2nd Girls, under the leadership of pocket rocket Dominique Russell proved a force to be reckoned with. The girls won 4 out of 5 matches, with special mention to Lily Gilby and Jacqui Greer whose accuracy and determination was vital to their success.
THE
GEELONG COLLEGE sic lturad astra
Lastly, the Year 9 girls, made up mainly of Year 7 and 8s, improved and blossomed this year, becoming extremely skilled and understanding water-polo players. Learning together, they established a unique bond, which allowed them to take away two wins for the season. The skill and ability of Georgie Richards, Josie Horne and Niah Chalmers demonstrate that girls' water-polo squad is only going to keep improving and thriving. I wish all water polo players the best of luck in the coming years and hope you keep playing this rewarding sport. Thanks to all the teachers and coaches who help organise matches, trainings, busses and venues. Mr Clifford and Mrs Porter, your efforts have not gone unnoticed and are most definitely appreciated.

Equestrian The equestrian team had a very successful season with students from both Middle and Senior School achieving spectacular results in a variety of disciplines, with Georgie Batten and Georgia Adams qualifying for the Interschool Nationals held in Toowoomba. All riders achieved personal bests throughout the year with many winning results being gained.
It didn't take long for the 2017 Equestrian season to be in full swing. The competition season started with the Geelong Grammar competition comprised of both show jumping and dressage. All riders rode extremely well, starting off the season with College sitting in fourth place out of 30 schools that had entered. High placings from our team members including Shayleigh Joblin, Ella McCann and Maddie Salveson was a great way to start the year and put the team in good stead for the remainder of the season. With Barwon Interschool Series show jumping, Ballarat Grammar Dressage and Kardinia College's events fast approaching, many riders trained hard to achieve personal goals and improve their skills. A number of students from all campuses performed with determination and commitment to produce remarkable results throughout the year and their considerable commitment was fantastic to see at many competitions. The annual Victorian Interschool Championships saw promising results from the team gaining a 4th overall in dressage. Dedication and persistence with training was definitely on show as many students gained excellent results with various placings across many different divisions, age groups and events. The hard work certainly paid off as our team finished seventh overall in Victorian Equestrian Interschool's, which was a fantastic way to conclude our season as a team.
We would like to congratulate the 2017 Equestrian team for the commitment they have displayed throughout the year in all areas. We wish the 2018 Equestrian team the best of luck!

Football The Geelong College 2017 Football season has been one of great success. 1st XVIII coach, David Wojcinski, found support in the new assistant coach (and old Collegian) Matt Torney and newly appointed TIC Mr Tom Hodge set exemplary standards which put the boys in good stead for the upcoming season.
A number of Year 10s also bolstered the ranks which aided them to a great win over Geelong Grammar. Sam Malone's incredible goal kicking ability lead to him earning a spot in the 2nd XVIII half way through the season. It has been a pleasure to watch these boys develop over the season.
The 1st VXIII came away with two wins from the season, a major improvement on last year. Our trademarks, consisting of 'Professional' 'United' and 'Ruthless,' dictated our style of play. Narrow losses to Caulfield, Brighton and Melbourne Grammar obliged us to strip it back to the basics and focus on plying our brand of football, revolving around our trademarks. A win against St Kevins, with everyone playing their role ultimately lead us to our first win in two years. Our other notable win against Wesley was a display of our dominance when we were able to play four quarters of consistent football. Jack Henderson, Tom Page, Sam Conway and Ned McHenry often found themselves in the best players. Charlie Sprague and Sam Harris showcased exciting prospects for next year and James Edmonds displayed blistering pace on many occasions.
The electrifying Year 10s managed one of the better records across the program, winning four matches for the year. Tanna Comben and Nick Conway benefitted from midfielders Joey Nagle and Mitch Taylor who continued to win the football all season. Their captivating style of play shows that College is in good hands for the future. Definitely a team to watch!
The mighty 2nd XVIII lead by Co-Captains Bill Zebra and Eddy Sillitoe appreciated a win in their first match. Lead in the middle by James Gadd, Billy Zebra and the Hosking twins, the team looked to be unbeatable whilst Nick Mackay enjoyed an excellent start to the season. The second half of the season wasn't quite as successful, however the 2nd XVIII were still able to get the better of our cross-town rivals, Geelong Grammar. The future of the 2nd XVIII also looks to be in good hands with young prospects such as Liam Glover and Tom Gough proving pivotal to the success of the team. The 4th XVIII battled all season, winning 3 games against Xavier, Scotch and Geelong Grammar. Pat Barkla was strong all year and Nick Kemp proved himself the most successful captain of the senior program.
The 9As were also able to taste some success in their season, winning three of their matches. Sam Witherden and Matthew Thacker lead from the front all year long, showing their ballwinning ability against some strong opposition. Noah Lever, Paddy Sinnott and Max Mauderer proved a handful for their opponents, writing their way onto the scoresheets on more than one occasion. The 9Bs also enjoyed a largely successful season, winning 5 of their matches off the back of some strong efforts from James Norris and supporting players. The 2017 College Football season has been a memorable one for all. Thank you to TIC Mr Tom Hodge and all the coaches as well as the parents who made this season possible. It has been a pleasure leading the First XVIII this year and I speak on behalf of all the departing Year 12s in saying we have fond memories of College which we will hold with us for a long time. I look forward to seeing the continual growth of the football program over the years to come.

Basketball Boys Basketball The Geelong College basketball contingent consisted of 5 teams from the Senior School campus. Each team performed at their best throughout the entire season. The Year 9B Boys team were coached by Jordan O'Leary, and had a season of mixed results. Having some close games, they managed to pick up a very close win in their final game by a 2 point margin. The lOC boys, coached by Chad Suphamongkol were faced with some tough competition, however, they managed to also pick up a win with their final game of the season. The team showed determination to improve with every game and will come back next year ready to play. The lOB boys, instructed by Mitch Pendergast, experienced some difficult opposition throughout the season and were unlucky not to pick up a win. The boys showed much improvement throughout the season and will be ready to face senior basketball next year. The 5ths boys, coached by James Headlam, were the most successful boys' basketball team, only losing 2 of their games. With David Zhang, Jason Sun, Nathan Gao and Jack Mei leading the team, the boys managed to finish off the season strongly, which I'm sure the departing Year 12s will be satisfied with. The lsts Boys, led by Tim O'Leary underwent a difficult season. As a much younger and shorter team than prior years, the boys initially struggled against much taller teams. As the weeks progressed, the team worked hard on plays and used our speed and agility to our advantage, which resulted in our first win of the season against a St Kevins team which didn't feature a player under 6'2. Overall, the season was one of great improvement, with the team gaining abilities in all areas of our game.
Whilst we didn't have the success of years prior, the Year 12s (Dylan Yelland, Cooper Matthews, Arthur Ng and myself) enjoyed our final year of basketball and can leave College with fond memories of the basketball program. Overall, it has been an honour to captain the basketball program this year. It has been a great learning experience having a leadership position in this sport and the responsibilities that I was entrusted with. I must give a large thank you to Mr Carroll, who has done an incredible job of organising the competition and ensuring it is enjoyable for all involved. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the ViceCaptain of boys' basketball, Dylan Yelland, who has assisted me in every aspect of the game.

Girls Basketball The girls Geelong College basketball consisted of four senior girls teams in the APS competition. The teams had a fantastic season, and the continuous development of all players lead to the accumulation of many wins as the season progressed. The Inter B girls had a strong season, coached by Emma Klaassen. Although they only gained 2 wins out of the 9 games for the season, Klaassen commented on their "Outstanding team effort" in these wins, and that the girls showed continual improvement through the season. The Inter C girls were also very determined throughout their season under the leadership of coach Mr Al Smith. Even though the girls didn't get a win for the season, they showed good sportsmanship and team play throughout the season. The Third girls, coached by Mr Gerard Donovan, were fortunate enough to have a few new Year 12 basketballers in the team, who proved to be pivotal role models and leaders to the younger players. The girls gained 4 wins out of the 8 games, with a winning streak of 3 games in a row in the middle of their season, emphasizing their continual improvement under the experienced Mr Donovan. The most memorable game, and highlight of the girls' season was their win against rival Geelong Grammar School, winning 34 to 8. Best player awards went to Ella Pullin and two Year 12 team leaders Roxy Sefton and Ruby Buchanan. The girls showed overall improvement throughout the season, and, the girls here next year, are looking promising for the 2018 basketball season. The First girls were fortunate enough to be coached by the experienced player and coach, Steve Wiasak. Although having a rough start to the season with a few players missing, the girls managed to work through the adversities and came out with 6 wins out of the 10 games.
Not only was this a tremendous effort for the girls who were in the first division, but was the best result ever for girls basketball at Geelong College. A notable win for the team was defeating Haileybury 60 to 51. Haileybury finished second on the ladder and had been undefeated until facing the wrath of the College girls' team. Year 12 players Tori and myself have finished the season very satisfied with our APS basketball at The Geelong College. Good luck next year to the young Year 11 prospects who can hopefully lead the team to further success. The 2017 basketball season has been a pleasure to be a part of and I am very grateful to all of the players and coaches who made it possible. A special thankyou to all of the coaches, and Mr Dale Carroll who gave his time every week and managed to gain a few home games for us which we appreciated very much. The season showed enormous improvement from all of the players involved, and I am confident the girls will continue to improve next year and wear the College jersey with pride.

Cross Country The Geelong College Cross Country team has had some fantastic results this year, with our girls' team finishing 4th overall, just 2 points behind Haileybury, and ahead of Carey, PEGS and Geelong Grammar School, all in our first year. Our team of 16 athletes, is made up of 8 Middle School and 8 Senior School students, and we competed in road relays and cross country racing over 4km and 6km courses, set in many hilly and picturesque parks across Melbourne, including Albert Park, Warringal, Wantirna, Bundoora, Berwick and Yarra Bend Park. The boys competed in a very talented pool of runners, alongside many State and National athletes, and Sam Barnes and James Afford produced many impressive results. The girls had two runners finish in the top 10 for each race in the Open division against 135 runners during the season. A special mention must go to Skye Ellis, in Year 8, who finished 4th overall on 3 occasions which was impressive, and Cassidy Bradshaw, another junior athlete with exciting potential. I feel that our team will be even more competitive next year, as we retain all our female runners, and we will hopefully attract more Middle and Senior School runners to this enjoyable winter sport. Mimmi Balaam and Skye Ellis gained selection for the Australian Cross Country Championships, which were held in Hobart and Wollongong in August, based on times and placings from their results throughout the season. We would all like to thank our coaches. Graeme Watkins, has guided and encouraged us through each training session and race day, having devised a fun and varied program between track, pool and gym sessions.
Brenton Rowe, a current and talented International athlete pushed and challenged us on our long river runs each Wednesday and Max Lazarus who enthusiastically joined in our track sessions, set up the marquee and led the warm ups on race days. I would also like to thank Mr Cheatley, who has re-established Cross Country as a winter sport at our school and we are also grateful to Ms Nicola Griffiths, for the drive and passion that she has for cross country running and the encouragement and support which got our season off to a great start.

Soccer Boys Soccer The Geelong College fielded 4 Senior Boys Soccer teams in the APS Competition this year. The 9A team coached by Mr Kovacev consisted of some very talented players and as the season progressed these boys were able to improve their skills and their ability to read the game. Their best result was a 2-2 draw against Brighton, with close losses to the other schools, proving that this team was able to hold its own firmly in the A division as solid contenders against the often strong Melbourne schools. Many of these boys will be pushing hard to be a part of the First squad next year, whilst also demonstrating that soccer at The Geelong College is in good stead for more successful seasons in the future. The lODs, coached by Mr Flanagan, was a team made up of players from across both Years 9 and 10. Though initially facing 2 harsh defeats, these boys along with Mr Flanagan were able to regroup and consolidate, focusing on the basics of soccer until the results started coming in their favour. With 2 draws followed by a 6-0 win, the team showed that hard work really does pay and these excellent results are a testament to their determination to improve their soccer. The 2nds, coached by Josh Skuza, played in the 5th Division this year. They were able to come away with some great results amongst a couple of devastating losses. Throughout their always cheerful and good natured season, the boys were even able to manage a 4-3 win over Wesley, which was the icing on the cake for some of the Year 12s who pulled on the College colours for the last time this year. The lsts coached by Paul Dowling, had a rather unsuccessful season, though it was enjoyable none the less. Coming into this year's soccer season with high hopes of many wins and even more amazing goals, unfortunately we were unable to fulfil our
dreams. The Melbourne teams proved too strong for us this season, with our team managing to hold them to a draw or even winning at half time, but by the end of the match were often just beaten before the final whistle. The highlight of our season was the Geelong Derby, where we faced off against Geelong Grammar. Initially it seemed to be a very close match, however ended up in our favour, with a 6-0 win. Overall, The Geelong College 2017 soccer season ensured that everyone had fun while also playing the game they loved, with wins and good results being an added bonus to round out a great season. Thank you to all the coaches and staff involved in our season; in particular to Paul for coaching many of us over multiple years. All this could never be accomplished without the help of Mr Kovacev, the teacher in charge of soccer. To Mr Kovacev, we say thank you for the smooth running of another soccer season and for being a great friend to all Year 12s as we played our final season for The Geelong College.

Girls Soccer The 2017 soccer season for the College girls was a season with few wins, but a lot of determination, courage, talent and fun on the field. The success of the 2016 season, saw an increase in the interest in the girls' soccer program this year, resulting in a record high 5 girls sides competing for the College. The lsts welcomed many new faces into the team this season, all of whom were keen to play a competitive brand of soccer and exhibit their skills. The girls embodied the spirit of 'practice makes progression', allowing us to focus on improvement and development of individual skills and set team plays. Dedication, coupled with coach Kenny Prior's wealth of soccer knowledge and expertise were assets to the team's progression, which was reflected in our hard-fought 2 wins and 2 draws. Our 2nd team, under coach Connor Jimmieson, came up against some very strong Melbourne teams and the improvement the girls strived for in their training sessions and matches culminated in a well-deserved win in their second last match of the season. A new 3rd team quickly established themselves as a team willing to have a go and their persistence throughout the season was a credit to them and their coach Claudia Cheatley. The girls should be commended for their great sportsmanship and development of skill. The young gun Juniors of the Inter A and B teams demonstrated an outstanding passion and aggression for the ball consistently throughout the winter season. The Inter A team welcomed new faces and skills throughout as they continued to progress weekly.
Although no wins were earned for these girls, the guidance of their coach Sophie Desborough strengthened their bond and their field play allowed for significant closing margins to be achieved. Whilst many of the College teams battled against the best players of the APS standards at Middle School and on Mackie oval, evidently our Junior Inter B side can confidently contend they proved to be the best in their division in 2017. The outstanding effort of these motivated girls brought them great success as they managed 8 wins and 1 draw. The girls and their supportive coach Alexandra Zauli, should be congratulated on the incredible victories and integrity they displayed this season. We'd personally like to thank our coaches Mr Ken Prior and Mr Fabio D'Agostin for the tremendous devotion to the 1st side this year. Similarly a thankyou goes to the other coaches who were present this year. Your effort and commitment does not go unnoticed. Lastly, we'd like to thank Mr Kovacev and Mr Cheatley. The ongoing organisation, support and sometimes refereeing is integral to the soccer season and ultimately this sport would not be possible at College without both your knowledge and dedication. Izzy and I have thoroughly enjoyed the past 4 years; playing this game, wearing the Geelong College colours with dignity and being privileged to experience the wealth of support teachers, coaches and team mates have shown. We hope others can experience this in the future and wish future soccer teams the best of luck at College.

Hockey Boys Hockey The 1st Boys Hockey Team's season has been filled with mixed success with 5 wins and 4 losses and a practice match against Geelong Grammar. As this was the last season for the Year 12s for the College these boys gave it their all while still enjoying their time left. The whole team put in their best effort not just at games but also in training. A lot of the boys had to double up on many games each weekend as the numbers this year were a little lower compared to past years. The 2nd Boys Team worked on their individual skills and team play, winning 2 games this year. The standard of their game play became better and better with notable matches including a 4-0 win against Scotch College and 4-1 win over St Kevin's College. We saw significant contributions from the 1st boys as they helped to boost numbers, so that all players and both teams got to play each week with the help of Ms Utting's coordination. Both teams' successes happened thanks to Scott Cullen, the 1st Boys' coach and Mark Haines, the 2nd Boys' coach. Both teams also benefitted from assistant coaches Hamish Russell and Jay Sands who both contributed to the teams' skills at each training session. We must also thank the Hockey Parents Support Group for all their help and the spread of food they provided for each match, as well as thanking the Hockey Coordinator, Ms Utting for all the time and effort she put into this season.

Girls Hockey The 2017 Girls Hockey season proved to be challenging but also a season full of memories. After losing key 2016 Year 12 players, the girls' squad has become younger each year. With several new recruits who all showed tremendous potential, we were hoping for a great season, with the possibility of a few wins. The 2nd XI's season was one of enthusiasm and enjoyment. The girls worked very hard in training and games to improve their skills to go up against some hard teams in their division. Round 1 saw them playing our rivals Geelong Grammar. The girls put up an awesome effort in such a tough game but unfortunately lost 2-1. Their next game, where they played Caulfield, holding them back to have a nil all game. A wonderful effort from every girl in the team.
The girls began to show determination to work together to beat each upcoming team. With a new coach Richard Athey, they were presented with new ways to train, including how they could improve further on their defence and attack. With every game the girls improved in their skills and their determination to work together. The 1st XI Girls' season with a new coach and a new team had more young fresh faces. Em Moore, the new 1st Girls' coach quickly whipped us into shape, with new training drills and plays for games. Our first match was against the hardest team in the competition; Carey. We had a tough game, coming away with an 11-0 loss. Our next couple of matches saw us again up against some very tough teams. However, after these harsh games, the girls kept their heads high and looked for improvements in our games. With trainings being a time of laughter and fun, the girls were able to bond more and quickly become a team. The girls' determination and improvement was seen with our first win in two years against Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School, defeating them 2-1 which was an amazing accomplishment for every girl in the team. I want to personally thank the girls in the lsts, for making my last season at hockey a memorable one. Over the past 4 four years I have made friends with all of the amazing girls in the team and I have seen them grow as people and as hockey players. A special thanks to Simone Brown, my Vice-Captain, who helped me throughout the whole season to push the girls to achieve their best.
To Em Moore, thanks for seeing a future in our team, and that we could achieve great things. Thank you to Ms Utting for her organisation of every team in hockey and the Hockey Parents Support Group for the support every Saturday morning.
I would like to congratulate all of the hockey girls on an amazing hard fought season. May you all keep playing hockey and improving and developing your hockey skills and knowledge.

Badminton Boys Badminton The boys' 2017 badminton season was challenging but very successful for all three teams. Everyone worked hard and showed great improvements individually and as a team. The strength and determination of the boys were evident in both training sessions and games, with good sportsmanship and team spirit shown. Initially, the 1st team struggled to adapt to the competitive nature of APS badminton, especially after the more experienced players departure at the end of 2016. Fortunately, a few talented Year 9 boys stepped up into the tough competition. After our first game against our local rival Geelong Grammar, the boys united into a cohesive team and were prepared to work hard for each other. We demonstrated perseverance and unity in our games and finished the season strongly, with four wins and two losses. Although it was a short season, the boys shared laughter and encouraged each other. I was glad to see the contributions of everyone to making this an unforgettable season. After a slow start to the season, the talented 3rd Blue and 3rd White teams picked up some impressive wins against tough oppositions. Highlights were the 3rd White's courageous fight against Wesley College and 3rd Green's dominance over Caulfield Grammar. The boys should be proud of their achievements, since the teams were mostly composed of Year 9 and 10 students. It was an outstanding effort by all and I was pleased to see the boys enjoying their badminton games. I am confident that College badminton has a very bright future.
I would like to thank the dedicated staff and coaches who looked after us and helped us reach our potential: Monsieur Lairs and Madame Chabant, thank you for your hard work in organising games and providing support both on and off the court. Mr Kristiansen, Ms Dong and Mim Lee, thank you for your great efforts coaching the boys and helping us improve. Finally, special thanks to George Lee who worked tirelessly during training sessions and coached us to be and play the best we could. This season would not have been so successful without such support and we appreciate the input of all our coaches. I hope my fellow students will enjoy their future badminton and it has been an honour to work with all our keen badminton players.

Girls Badminton The girls' badminton had a very successful season with many players both new and experienced displaying their talent on the court. It has been incredible to see the girls learn and grow so much as the season progressed, constantly showing commitment and dedication to improving their skills. Their determination and hard-fought practice at training paid dividends during their Saturday matches. The 1st Girls' Team had a triumphant start in Term 4, winning the majority of their games. With some skills under their belts, the girls aimed to perfect and polish their techniques. However, despite fighting hard on the court, they were not able to maintain their winning streak when Term 1 started. The arrival of star player Cherry Ting, whose lovely shots and speed on the court made her someone to be reckoned with, was a great addition to the 1st team. Her outstanding skills brought the necessary confidence to reinvigorate the team whose final efforts led them to winning the last three matches against Grammar, Carey and PEGS. The 2nd Girls' Team had an amazing season with players striving to increase their skill set. An Trinh and Amy Tso worked hard and often annihilated their opposition. Many of the girls improved dramatically; their precision, placement of the shuttle and dedicated teamwork in doubles worked wonders. Overall, a great display from the 2nds, with many new players on the horizon to gain a place in the 1st team next year.
The 3rd Girls Team also had a terrific start to the season. Despite most of them having little prior knowledge of badminton, they demonstrated eagerness and immediately worked hard to gain some basic skills, using training sessions to practise serving and rallies. They combined well, showing good skills and resilience on the court. Special mention to Astrid Stanisich and Ebony Skene who have shown great teamwork and skilful tactics in all games. I want to thank the coaches for their dedication. Mme Tymms, Ms Shen and Mrs Dong for showing patience, working hard with the girls and giving necessary advice during our matches; Mme Chabant and M. Lairs, respectively our departing and new TIC of Badminton, making sure things ran smoothly. Finally, I want to thank Mim Lee whose gentle assistance and great patience with the less advanced players was an invaluable asset, and George Lee whose wisdom, techniques and mesmerising demonstrations of strong play were always valued. His constant words of advice were useful between sets and both of them are an essential asset to the badminton cohort. Overall, my time playing badminton at the College was nothing short of amazing. I always looked forward to training and the Saturday matches kept me on my toes. Nothing can compare to the friendships and memories I have made over the years. Thank-you to all the girls and the coaches for guiding the teams. I hope 2018 is just as an exciting and triumphant season as it was this year.

Snowsports Geelong College was represented by 50 students from Prep to Year 12 at the 2017 Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships which is the focal point of the program. The College competed in 153 individual events and 56 team events and placed 16th in the co-educational secondary school category and 8th in the co-educational primary category against some tough competition from the big schools. Oliver Naylor (Year 9) and Emerson Facer (Year 8) lead the snowsports charge at the Victorian Interschool Cross Country in a blizzard on Sunday 6 August. Oliver placed a valiant 19th in wild conditions, and Emerson, suffering an injury the day before, was unable to finish. It was the first time Geelong College had been represented in Cross Country. After a huge dump of snow and some blue skies, the Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships started well for the College with the Division 5 girls excelling in all of their events. Charlotte and Madeleine Koch (Year 4) took the silver medal in the Division 5 girls Boarder X and the bronze in the Division 5 girls Snowboard team events. The Koch girls were joined by Holly Kearns (Year 3) to place 5th in the Division 5 girls Ski X team event, and by Holly and Edwina Gorell (Year 4) in the Division 5 girls Alpine team event, qualifying College teams for the National Championships in four events. Our moguls of the slopes took over mid-week with Jasper Atkinson (Year 7) placing 5th in the Division 3 boys Moguls event and 4th in the Division 3 boys Slopestyle Ski, and Angelique Atkinson (Year 9) placing 6th in the Division 2 girls Moguls and 4th in the Division 2 girls Slopestyle Ski events. Both will represent College at the National Championships. Tara Kearns (Year 9) and Alana Henderson (Year 9) took on a huge Slopestyle course to make a team with Angelique and took home the silver medal in the Division 2 girls team event.
Jasper was joined by Emerson Facer (Year 8) and Andy Deans (Year 8) on the slopestyle course finishing with a bronze medal in the Division 3 boys Slopestyle Ski teams event. Olivia Howie and Tara Kearns made up our Division 2 girls Moguls team to take 6th place and will join Angelique and Jasper at Nationals for the moguls. Year 8 snowboarder and skier Andy Deans was impressive, finishing in the bronze medal position in the Division 3 boys Snowboard event. Against a strong field, many who live on the mountain all winter, Andy rode the course hard and put down 2 strong runs that saw him finish on the podium. He also finished 5th in the Division 3 boys Boarder X, and will compete in both events at Nationals. Emerson Facer who had a sensational run in the Division 3 boys Ski X to finish 7th in a field of 201 will compete at Nationals in the Individual Ski X event and will join Andy Deans in the Boarder X teams event. The Australian Interschool Snowsports Championships were held at Mt Buller from September 6 - 10. Geelong College was represented by 9 skiers and snowboarders, with competitors in 6 individual events and 6 team events. The competition was strong but the College team performed well finishing 17th in the Co-ed Primary Schools Division and 14th in the Co-ed Secondary Schools Division. Year 8 students Andy Deans and Emerson Facer won a bronze medal in the Division 3 boys Snowboard X teams event, bringing home College's first Nationals medal in many years. Andy finished 6th in the Snowboard X individually and 4th in the Division 3 Snowboard GS missing the bronze medal by 0.9 of a second - heartbreakingly close!
It was a delight to see so many College representatives acquitting themselves well against classy competition. Well done to Holly Kearns (Year 3), Charlotte Koch (Year 4), Maddie Koch (Year 4), Jasper Atkinson (Year 7), Andy Deans (Year 8), Emerson Facer (Year 8), Angelique Atkinson (Year 9), Olivia Howie (Year 9) and Tara Kearns (Year 9), and their families, for qualifying for Nationals and being such a great team! This year on snow Geelong College established themselves as one of the co-ed schools to watch with multiple teams in Division 5 girls, Division 4 boys, Division 3 girls and boys and Division 2 girls, and strong performances in both individual and team events, at both Victorian and National Championships.
It was exciting to welcome new skiers and boarders, and their families to the team, and to see all students no matter their level of experience outperforming their own expectations. This year we also introduced two training days which offered race coaching and the opportunity to practise racing to many of the team. Thank you to Marcus Tyrrell for his invaluable help on the snow, and to the best team assistant ever; Jodie Fernandez. We are very excited about the future of Snowsports and encourage all skiers and boarders of all abilities to consider competing for College next year.

Athletics Boys Athletics Athletics is a strongly competitive sport, but it offers the opportunity to train and improve with fellow Collegians of all ages in a supportive team environment. This year athletes from Year 7 to Year 12 worked hard at our training sessions and improved their performances over the ten week season. All those who trained and competed should be commended for their effort, enthusiasm and commitment. At the APS Athletics Final at Lakeside Stadium, the College boys team faced the strength and depth of the other APS schools and competed with determination and pride. A number of our field events athletes achieved impressive results, with discus thrower Hamish Poulter, shot putters James McGuire and Max Mauderer and high jumpers Will Anderson and Will Jarman finishing in the top three in their events. A highlight of the day was Ul5 athlete Nick O'Brien winning the 800m for the second year in a row and setting a new school record. Other athletes to finish in the top six places were hurdler Nick Conway, sprinters Tom Santalucia (in both the 100m and 200ml and Paddy Ryan, 1500m runner Douglass Bell, high jumpers Patch Grace-Long and Alex Anastassiou and the Ul5 4 x 400 relay team. All College athletes supported each other and an impressive twenty-six individual personal bests were recorded on the day. The final team result saw us record over 200 points for the first time in a number of years.
These results were based on the knowledge, commitment and encouragement of all the coaches named in the Girls report and the valued contribution of the Athletics Parent Support Group. Special thanks must go to Mark Fountain for passing on his expert knowledge and advice and to Mr Robbins and Mrs Ratcliffe for organizing the Middle School athletes. The dedication, hard work and passion for GC athletics shown by Mr Parkes and Mr Curnow made this season an enjoyable one for all members of the squad. Congratulations to Mimmi Balaam and Daniel Curnow, who were worthy winners of the Mark McPherson Trophy for Outstanding Commitment to Geelong College Athletics. Thank you to my fellow Year 12 athletes Oscar Brownless, Lachie Cashman, Daniel Curnow, James Cole and Tom Page, who have made significant contributions in their years in the team. Congratulations to every athlete who trained regularly and continued to improve as part of the athletics squad this season.
James Glover Captain James Glover has been a member of the Geelong College athletics team for six years. He competed in the 8OOm each year from U14 to Open with significant success and has been a member of the Open 4 x 8OOm relay team for three years. This season he led from the front in all our training sessions and made a significant contribution to the team in his role as Captain. At the APS Finals he finished fifth in the Open 8OOm and was a member of the Open 4 x 4OOm and 4 x 8OOm relay teams. - Mr OA Curnow, Teacher in Charge of Athletics
Girls Athletics This season all the members of the Geelong College athletics team proved that hard work brings results as they pushed themselves each week to achieve their best. Athletics requires each individual to commit to her own improvement, to compete against someone faster or stronger and to improve both mentally and physically. The College girls took up the challenge with determination and supported each other in a strong team performance at the APS Finals. After ten weeks of training in often cold and wet conditions, the team achieved a creditable fourth place in the six-school APS competition, with thirty-four girls recording personal bests in their individual events. The highlights included first places and new school records by Ruby Pekin-Schlicht and Libby Falkiner in their hurdles events, Skye Ellis' exciting victory in the Ul6 1500m and wins by Cassidy Bradshaw (Ul5 400m) and Kate Synoradzki (Ul5 High Jump). Other athletes to achieve top three finishes in individual events were Mimmi Balaam, Catherine Clark, Monique Day, Eliza Walsh, Laura Ryan, Sophia Powers (four third places), Olivia Richardson, Catie Hodge, Zoe Sandner, Ciara Philpott, Antoniette Emma-Nnopu, Elizabeth Kefaloukos, Phoebe Calvert, Cecilia Powers and Andie Taylor. Nine girls made a significant contribution to the team by competing in four or more events on the day. The introduction of Discus in two age groups was a welcome addition to the APS program this year.
The athletes were supported by a dedicated group of parents who organized the Landy Field canteen and social activities for the squad. Thank you to Kate Schlicht and the Athletics Parent Support group for their hard work. Our coaches provided invaluable advice and encouragement and made the season enjoyable. We appreciated the efforts of Mark Boxer, Mandi Cole, Matt Courtnay, Charlie Curnow, Lachie Doak, Jess Fitzpatrick, Neale Lomas, Brenton Rowe, Stewart Poulter, Coreena Van der Klooster, Mr Horoch, Mr Saunders and especially the inspiration of our Director of Coaching, Mark Fountain. Mr Robbins, Mrs Ratcliffe, Mr Parkes and Mr Curnow organized the season expertly and made all athletes feel welcomed and accepted as part of the squad. Congratulations to all the team on a successful season, especially my fellow Year 12 athletes Monique Day, Aleisha Mauderer, Michaela Ryan and Roxy Sefton for their contributions over many seasons. It has been a pleasure to train and compete with such a positive and committed group of girls, who worked together and brought out the best in each other.
Sophie Walmsley Captain Sophie Walmsley has competed in four APS Athletics Finals for Geelong College in middle distance events. She has provided a fine example in her training and competitive spirit and been an involved and enthusiastic Captain. At the 2017 APS Finals she finished third in both the 800m and 1500m B events and was a member of the 4 x 400m relay team. - Mr DA Curnow, Teacher in Charge of Athletics

Duke of Edinburgh Award Congratulations to Cary Foley on achieving the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. The Award fosters youth development and is open to those aged between 14 and 25. Its philosophy is to encourage students to challenge themselves individually and understand the difference they can make to their community. The program is highly recognised by employers, universities and in the community. To earn an Award a student must learn a skill, improve their physical well-being, volunteer in their community and experience a team adventure in a new environment. Cary completed two adventures which included a trip to Central Australia for Fulfilling Lives and a concert performance after one week of rehearsals in central Victoria. Cary made a massive contribution for his community service by supporting, mentoring and becoming a buddy to young Indigenous students with reading and literacy. His contribution was noted as respectful, attentive and constructive. Cary has excelled in Water Polo, Soccer, Rowing and improved his own health and fitness through personal training and has also refined his musical skills on the viola. The rehearsals always took place outside of school hours and Cary was able to effectively manage this with his study commitments.

The Geelong College Foundation The Foundation has had a positive year connecting with the College Community through a series of functions. To start the year off we held an inaugural luncheon to celebrate and recognise members of the Morongo Old Collegians' Association (MOCA). This event was held in the College's Senior School Dining Hall where we had the pleasure of welcoming more than 40 former students who had served on the MOCA Committee. Dr Miller addressed the guests and spoke of the longstanding relationship Morongo had with the College and our honour at being custodians of Morongo's archives. He also acknowledged the generosity of the MOCA who, upon its winding up, made a donation to fund The Morongo Old Collegians' Scholarship. This scholarship, which will cover 25% of Year 12 tuition fees, will be awarded annually to an outstanding Year 11 student who has a family relationship with a past student of Morongo. We look forward to continuing our strong connection with members of this much loved school in the future. Our other events this year included the annual Foundation Members' Luncheon in March, our ever amazing Foundation Concert at Costa Hall in September, a special Morning Tea to recognise and thank our Morrison Society members and Patrons, a Drinks Evening in Melbourne CB □ for our Notable Old Collegians, Melbourne-based alumni and Past Parents; and last, but certainly not least, our Foundation Community Golf Day and Luncheon at Barwon Heads Golf Club. In July the Foundation again undertook a two day program of tree planting at its Fyansford property which was supported by College families, Year 4 students, parents and College Staff. This series of plantings is now a welcome annual event in the Foundation's calendar and we are very grateful to those who facilitate the program. This year has seen the development and launch of the Foundation Fellowship. This is an annual fellowship providing opportunities for The Geelong College staff to undertake study, research or professional development either nationally or internationally. The Foundation Fellowship builds on The Geelong College's reputation for excellence and awards funds to a staff member or a team of staff members to be used to gain invaluable national or international experience in study, research, professional development or through a shadowing or immersion-based experience. The objectives of the Fellowship are to provide opportunities for individuals to develop professionally, increase their skills and enhance their global awareness, contribute to The Geelong College's position as a high quality independent school and a leader in research and innovation, and provide an opportunity for staff to travel abroad in search of new ideas, innovation and excellence. We are excited by the possibilities the Fellowship will give staff members and look forward to the first awardees being announced soon. As you would be aware, a significant contribution will be made by the Foundation to support the College's Junior School redevelopment. The concepts are truly fantastic and will serve the College well for many years to come. 2018 promises to be a year of change and challenge but also the beginning of a wonderful new era at the Campbell House site. I would like to thank College Principal, Dr Peter Miller and Chairman of Council, Dr Hugh Seward for their continued support and collaboration with the Foundation this year. Their vision for the future of the College is an ambitious one and we are delighted to be involved. 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 Foundation Executive Officer, Mrs Joyce Taylor on (03) 5226 3779.

Community Service The 2017 Community Service program involved the entire school. By building on the strong year in 2016, the Community Service portfolio leaders decided to focus on the main goal of inclusion. This lead to fundraising crossing over campuses, including the fresh energy of the Middle School SRC and Junior School. The year commenced with the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Day, where pancakes were selling faster than they could be cooked. The Middle School particularly enjoyed taking part in this for the first time, and effectively doubled the amount donated to Uniting Care Geelong. This was quickly followed with the annual 'Wear to Care Day', involving the students sporting clothes representing their favorite charities in an effort to raise over $2000 that was gratefully used by the Year 10 Fulfilling Lives programs. To finish the term, many students, staff and families took part in the Relay for Life, coming just short of the $5000 goal to start a cancer research grant, but receiving the Mick Ryan Memorial award for schools recognition, which was a great achievement for all involved. After a busy introductory term, term two kicked off with Grey Day, a day on which students were encouraged to wear grey to raise money for the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation in support of pediatric brain tumor research. As a part of Brain Week students could attempt to solve Rubies cubes and guess the number of sweets in a jar. Overall, the school raised over $2000 for this noble cause. In conjunction with APS, the school raised $3,625 for Berry Street by participating in a Blue Day that involved students wearing blue and buying sausages prepared by the prefects with help from the amazing Deb Brackley. This, coupled with the funds raised from the other APS schools raised an impressive amount for the foundation. Many fundraising activities occurred across all campuses this year. The Middle School had some splashing fun raising money in their Ice Bucket Challenge, and many students participated in the swim-a-than that raised thousands for the Andrew Love Cancer Centre. Looking to the future, we would love to continue to bridge the gap between campuses and enable programs such as Student2student and Making Tracks Reading to flourish. Community service is what helps create such a vibrant and giving culture of The Geelong College and the future of the program is bright.
Michaela Ryan Community Service Prefect
Farewells Tim Parkes Tim Parkes, fondly known by his colleagues as TPP, was appointed to The Geelong College as Head of English by Paul Sheahan in 1989, after 11 years at Haileybury College. Since that day, Tim has been an integral part of every possible facet of College life, and the staff and students of The Geelong College will sadly miss his expertise and fine intellect. Upon his appointment as Head of English in 1989, Tim undertook the challenging task of being a pilot school for the introduction of the new VCE curriculum. His knowledge and leadership meant that the English Department became a strong, supportive team of teachers due to his deep knowledge of the English curriculum, his clear vision for the Department, and his perceptive understanding of the students in his classes. Tim has taught in the English Department at Year 12 for 24 years with another 11 years at Haileybury! Tim set high standards and a desire for all to achieve their best in his classes. He is a passionate reader and his students were always encouraged to expand and develop a similar love, especially those in his Literature classes. In the past couple of years, Tim has been responsible for the VCE Learning Support at Years 11 and 12, a big change in his teaching direction. The fondness with which those students speak of the help Mr Parkes gives them is testament to his love of his subject and his desire to help all students attain their best. This care and responsibility for students was also seen in his work as a Wettenhall House tutor for the past 25 years. The Heads of House with whom he worked such as Richard Morris, Dave Curnow, Julie Gainey, Carolyn Matthews and Amanda Jackman, all feel that he was a support and confidant in making the House pastoral care system as successful as it is. Tim's love of the outdoors saw him promoting the Year 9 Outdoor Education program, in his words to "anyone who would listen"! For 15 years in a row, Tim took a Year 9 group to Wollangarra and later Charnwood, a much-loved experience for many students. In 1992, he with Therese Foley, and in 2002, with Leonie Brown, saw The Geelong College undertake demanding trips to Nepal. Furthemore, Tim went on three Exploration Society expeditions to the Strezlecki Desert, the Bibbulman Track and the Heysen Trail. These trips are regarded by Tim as a highlight of his time here at The Geelong College, being in the bush with the students and sharing experiences of the great outdoors with committed staff. The sporting field, in particular the athletics track, was another area where Tim was very passionate about developing the opportunities offered to students. He made a valuable contribution to the football program for 9 years, but his 29 years involved in Athletics has been one of the most significant contributions to the College sporting program. Tim spent many of these years as the TIC of Athletics and helped develop APS competition at Landy Field. Amongst the many highlights of this time were the 5 girls APS premierships and participation of Geelong College teams in the National Schools Knockout finals. For literally thousands of College athletes the words Athletics and Mr Parkes are synonymous. Tim fondly recalls James Boston's APS U/17 lO0m record of 10.84 in 1998 (which still stands) as a coaching highlight and can give you many facts and figures about student performances at Olympic Park and now Lakeside throughout the years. The school owes a huge debt of gratitude to Tim for his outstanding loyalty and service for more than 29 years. He is a leader of exceptional ability, a dedicated supporter of all aspects of the educational offerings of the College and will be remembered for the care of the students with whom he came in contact, in the classroom, in the bush, and on the athletics track! We wish Tim and Chris a long and happy retirement with lots of travel and time to spend with their children Nyssa and Rob (who were at the The Geelong College from Prep to Year 12), and Ellie, their new grand- daughter. May this new phase of your life give you as much enjoyment as your teaching career has given to those with whom you have worked and the students you have taught.

Sue Bradford We would like to acknowledge the work of Sue Bradford who departed The Geelong College Middle School this year after nine years of service. For a majority of her time here Sue worked with both primary and secondary students in the Learning Support department. Sue worked closely with numerous students, their teachers and their families, to ensure the learning and programs offered were carefully tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Sue would develop a deep understanding of each student's strengths, which she would celebrate and explore. She could also identify and strengthen the areas for growth of the children in her direct care. Sue was a valued Year 7 Learning Mentor and taught English at the Year 7 level. She also spent 12 months as a classroom teacher of Year 6 students. Sue contributed to the Co-curricular program as a manager of tennis, athletics and girls diving. Sue was a well respected member of staff and we wish her well in her future endeavours.

Farewells Carolyn Matthews It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to Carolyn Matthews- Geelong College's much-loved and long-serving member of staff for the past 24 years. Over these years, Carolyn's achievements and list of roles have been most impressive, making it almost impossible to distil this period into just a few lines. On the academic front, she has passionately taught across the curriculum from Years 9-12- VCE Legal Studies, VCE International Studies and VCE History Revolutions, along with Commerce and History at Year 10. Who will forget the memorable Classics Tours of 2013 and 2017 to Greece and Italy, and the Grand European Tour in 2015, which Carolyn organised and lead? There have been her many managerial and administrative roles. These have included Head of Girls' Boarding, Chair of Indigenous Students Support Committee at the College, Head of Calvert (2007-09), Morrison (one term) and Wettenhall (1999-2001) Houses, and on the co-curricular front, TIC of Tennis (1997-2001), as well as a coach of tennis (1993-2010), basketball and athletics. She has carried out all these roles with great flair, passion and competence. There will be many fond memories harvested from the various situations that have brought us into contact with Carolyn. As seen by her interest in and huge commitment to boarding and our indigenous program, she cares greatly about the wellbeing of students in the broader sense as these young people, some of whom are thousands of kilometers from home, battle with uncertainties and challenges to find their identity and fit into our institution and way of life. She is a wonderful communicator and does not beat around the bush. You are reassured by knowing exactly where you stand and what she feels. Partly for this reason, she is a natural teacher and administrator. Carolyn has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of witty one-liners to suit almost any occasion or situation. This makes her great to be around and she brings a zest for life and great cheeriness- qualities that endear her to both students and staff alike. She has a positive outlook and appears unruffled by the challenges life throws at us- again making her so good at carrying out the many responsibilities that she has taken on over the years. After exemplary dedication and loyal service, Carolyn leaves us at the end of Term 4, 2017, to join the staff at Avalon International College as Head of Boarding- a responsibility for which she is admirably suited! We all thank her for the many fantastic contributions, and wish her every happiness and satisfaction for the future!
Richard Morris Through my role in boarding here at College, I have had the privilege of working with Carolyn for eight years. Of necessity, we have worked closely together as a team. Carolyn is an exemplary leader; the evidence for this being the enduring and vibrant culture that she has developed and nurtured amongst her girls. This has emanated from her own infectious and indefatigable optimism, and awe-inspiring level of organisation and capacity for work. Carolyn has been instrumental in generating a plethora of initiatives that have both raised the profile of boarding at the College and enriched the boarding experience for our students. Among these are the very successful activities program, numerous theatre outings, refining the academic tutoring program and working tirelessly to create a nurturing and homely ambience in Mossgiel. Beyond the College, her commitment to boarding per se is evident in her ongoing membership of the board of the Victorian Branch of the Australian Boarding Schools Association, and in her further study into various facets of the boarding experience, such as indigenous boarding programs. Carolyn's success is in part due to her ambition to further her career in boarding. She never stands still. I will miss her support and comradeship, and wish her every success in her new role.
Greg Smith (Head of Mackie Boarding House)
Ally Richards Ally joined The Geelong College in 2014. In just four years of teaching, she has achieved a significant amount for both herself and her students. She has taught English across Years 9-12, Commerce at Year 10 and Legal Studies at Years 11 and 12. She has our sincerest gratitude for her contributions to the development, revision and evolution of the curriculum across 9-12. Ally teaches with passion and is committed to making content engaging for all. She has been keen to create opportunities for students to experience the breadth and reality of their studies. One such opportunity was the exciting tour of Canberra she organised for Year 11 Legal Studies students in the 2017 Term 3 holidays, which included viewing sessions of Parliament, the High Court and visits to other key landmarks. For teachers, the rapport we forge with students is surely testament to our quality. With this in mind, College is losing a significant asset in Ally Richards. Over the last four years, she has worked with various crews in Rowing and accompanied Year 10s three times on their Fulfilling Lives trips, culminating in her leadership of the 2017 trip to Lilla. We will miss her forthright manner, no-nonsense approach (in and outside of the classroom), her organisation, enthusiasm for new opportunities and good humour. Ally departs to take up the position as Head of English and Humanities at Southern Cross Grammar. She has our very best wishes, thanks and appreciation.

Farewells Urszula Kamburowski Urszula commenced at College in 1986 and was initially based at the Middle School teaching individual violin students for 2 days each week. She worked with other string staff to develop the ensemble program, especially small chamber groups, who often performed in and outside the school. In 1990 she was appointed as a full time music teacher. Urszula possesses a passion for music education and took students under her wing, guiding them through the intricacies of learning one of the most difficult instruments. Her constant companion was her beautiful violin, affectionately named "George". She was completely thorough in her approach to tuition, ensuring that students had regular lessons and, when examinations were looming, provided additional lessons out of school hours. Urszula meticulously prepared students for examinations, including the AMEB and the VCE. Her students consistently achieved excellent results. She maintained close contact with parents who were always informed about the student's progress, with encouragement to keep up the home practice and, hopefully, to do a little bit more. Urszula never overlooked an opportunity for her students to perform, either as soloists or in chamber ensembles. The full gamut of lunchtime concerts, music evenings, instrumental recitals, assemblies, after-hours and out-of-school performances, to name but a few, came under her radar. The students benefitted enormously from regular performance experiences that were carefully selected and prepared. Urszula's attention to detail was legendary and obvious to see and hear in the quality of her students' performances. Urszula conducted orchestral ensembles at all campuses, covering all year levels, and took an active interest in sourcing repertoire that was interesting and up to date. She was a regular attendee at String Music Reading Days and other professional development activities and always returned with some exciting pieces in the widest range of styles. When not conducting, Urszula was a valued tutor, playing with the students and assisting them to improve their performance and develop deep insight into the music. Urszula made a significant contribution to the success of the Year 2 String Program. Taking small groups of students at varying abilities, she was able to shape their developing technique, catering for individual differences and interests. In retirement I am certain that Urszula will look forward to spending more time with her grand-children and husband, Zbig. The School owes her an enormous debt of gratitude for 32 years of outstanding service and commitment to the music education of our students.
Mark Irwin Director of Music
Mark Andrews After 10 years of great service to the College, Mark has proven to be a man of many hats, teaching Latin from Years 9 to 12, Religious Studies in Years 9 and 10 as well as History to Year 9 students. He manipulated both Greek and Latin with almost equal alacrity, to the delight and puzzlement of his students. Mark was also a great help when it came to technology and he took Latin into the 21st century. Mark will be greatly missed in the LOTE staffroom; his witty jokes, linguistic puns and quirky sense of humour as well as his incredible efficiency are all things that made him a respected and esteemed colleague. Mark also took part in a Classics trip as well as two French trips Mark worked for 8 years as a tutor in Mackie House. He was always highly organised, even-tempered, conscientious and reliable. He always exercised initiative and was ready to go the extra mile for both boys and for the Head of House. There were many times when he stepped up and handled situations that he could have just as easily handballed to the Head of House. He always did so with empathy, intelligence and a great sense of his duty of care for the boys. Such qualities made Mark an invaluable member of staff to have on your team. Any incident was always followed up with a very detailed email outlining what had happened and how he'd dealt with it. Mark also stepped in very capably to take on the HOH role in 2013. He always had the boys' best interest at heart and was really instrumental in helping to turn Mackie around in the past 8 years, and in generating the positive culture it has today. Mark will be remembered for his wit, his empathy, his endearing eccentricities, and of course for his epic addresses on the steps after dinner. We have valued Mark's input and the work he so willingly applied to making Mackie a better place. He leaves big shoes to fill. We wish him and his family all the very best for their next adventure which has taken them to China.
