To the Year 12 students of 2018, my task tonight is to challenge you on your future. We live in a new age; the age of disruption. For your parents and grandparents this is troubling. We fear that these recent years of Trump, Brexit and revolving doors for Australian Prime Ministers destabilise the world as we know it with trade wars and threats of economic collapse and challenges to democracy. Vaclav Havel, the former President of Czechoslovakia said: ·1 think that there are good reasons for suggesting that the modern age has ended. Today, many things indicate that we are going through a transitional period, when it seems that something is on the way out and something else is being painfully born. It is as if something were crumbling, decaying, exhausting itself, while something else, still indistinct, were rising from the rubble" While he said this some years ago, it is even more accurate today. But for you, this age of disruption is all you have known, so for you it is "the normal". You will be the ones best placed, best prepared to manage it, to thrive in it, and to ensure disruption brings change for the better. Disruption is not just political, it is also technological. In fact the modern age is undergoing creative destruction, courtesy of the digital revolution. I will paraphrase journalist Paul Kelly's observations when he described how the high-tech champions, typified by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, hailed the power of social media in 2010 during the Arab Spring uprising. This was probably at about the same time each of you were getting your very first smartphones. It was the first time the individual citizen, with access to this new mobile technology, was empowered to depose dictators and humble the elites. We were told Facebook and Twitter would dissolve misunderstandings between cultures.
2
If Facebook was a country, it would have the largest, most diverse population on Earth. More than 2.2 billion people, about a third of humanity, log in at least once a month. Facebook has as many adherents as Christianity. Almost ten years later Zuckerberg has now been forced to apologise and admit that Facebook's systems have been more recently used to spread misinformation and corrode democracy. They have been ruthlessly exploited by hate groups, foreign hackers corrupting the US election, terrorists and harvesters, tapping into personal data. At an individual, personal level, you each know how social media can provide great social connections but can also be a source of distress if you choose to use it in anger or to harm others. There have been misgivings expressed about Facebook's role in exacerbating isolation, outrage and addictive behaviours, and that higher use correlated with self-reported declines in physical health, mental health and life satisfaction. I wonder whether history will conclude that on balance, social media was a force for good or evil? A similar question could be asked of Donald Trump's presidency. While many of you here tonight may assume that there will only be negative outcomes from his term in office, I have searched for a historical precedent that may bring some hope. I would like you to compare Mr Trump to King Henry VIII: rotund, strawberry blond, belligerent, and a penchant for multiple marriages and affairs. Henry triggered massive social disruption with his separation from the Catholic church, seizing their property and establishing his Church of England for his personal expedience. While I am sure Mr Trump would love Henry's power to chop a few heads off, the reassuring part of my comparison is that Henry's period of major social disruption was followed by a strong stable monarch, Queen Elizabeth the First - it is worth noting, a powerful, sensible woman - who led a period of great stability and prosperity for England.
So we of the older generation now rely on your generation to make sense of this period of disruption and bring your style of leadership to build a new stable, prosperous and hopefully civil age. You have at your disposal the extraordinary force of advancing technology. Beyond social media, technology changes our life day by day, sometimes for great benefit, even if the changes are disruptive. Technology changes rapidly; when you were born the mobile phone was seen as a huge leap forward, but it was simply that: a phone. Now it can access every bit of knowledge the world has ever created, and share every moment of your life with the world if you so choose. Last year I spoke about the ripple effect of future technology changes. Self-driving cars we are told are only a few years away. We will just summon a car when we need it and at the end of our journey it returns to its base. That means there will be less need to own a car, so the demand for cars decreases, fewer cars manufactured, fewer cars sold, fewer car parks are needed. Our roads will be safer, so fewer accidents means fewer injured in car accidents, fewer hospital patients, fewer cars repaired and fewer insurance policies sold. All of this changes employment patterns and job opportunities. This type of ripple effect will influence your future and requires you to develop versatile skills in whatever career direction you take. If technology provides you with the tools, I challenge you to use your mastery of technology to disrupt for the benefit of our society, ie to disrupt for the "good". You are surrounded by examples of technological innovation for"good". When Stanford University professors set a global robotics challenge they did not anticipate its disruptive benefits. When it was won by a person from a remote Indian village, they realised they could provide education to those who could never attend a prestigious university. Much to the chagrin of their Stanford masters, who suddenly saw their Intellectual Property marching out the door, they set up their own on-line University -U0ACITY and now have a huge global enrolment. But you do not have to invent to join the innovation disruptors. Early adopters of disruptive technologies are equally important. The task for you all is to select the tech advance that progresses your chosen discipline, and adapt it to enhance your work, your business or the industry you serve.
Finally, to innovate requires risk. Homer Simpson said "You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try" But in Year 5 science you learnt that while your experiments did not always succeed, they helped you learn. True progress requires failure to understand those qualities required to succeed. In Silicon Valley, these disruptors wear failure as a badge of honour. Entrepreneurs are proud of the fact that their first ideas failed and they dusted themselves off to adapt, come up with a better idea or approach, and try again. There is good failure and bad failure. Silicon Valley failure is good failure; when you acknowledge your disappointment, even if it may be painful. You reflect, analyse, and learn from the experience. Homer Simpson failure is bad failure; when you don't confront the event and you sweep it under the carpet, avoiding the pain, but also avoiding the beneficial lessons to be learnt. So my message for you tonight is this: in this age of disruption develop your innovative skills without fear of failure, and become a versatile innovator to disrupt for the good of our future society. In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank the School Council and in particular four members of our Council who have retired during this year. I acknowledge their years of service to our school: Gerald Miller, Sarah Leach, Michelle Quigley and Jo Monahan. In their place we have welcomed Kathryn Alexander, well known to many of you for her work in parents groups and Carnivals, who brings architectural, design and planning skills, as we embark on considerable building projects; Matt Bridges, after many years serving the OGCA will provide legal counsel; and Professor Richard Page, known for his leadership of the Carji Greeves Club, will provide his extensive knowledge of tertiary education and organisation to the Council. Finally my thanks go to Dr Peter Miller, his Executive team, the teaching and non-teaching staff for their exceptional work in making this a most successful year for The Geelong College. To our students I wish you every success in your future endeavours. Thank you.

The documentation of many student achievements and certain aspects of community activity at The Geelong College are captured annually in Pegasus. This complements other means of communicating with our community throughout each year in Ad Astra, the Weekly Bulletin as well as regular updates on both our website and social media platforms. Despite the many means of communicating with The Geelong College community Pegasus continues to hold a central place in documenting aspects of College life. I hope you enjoy reading this Pegasus soon after its publication in 2018 and for many years to come. 2018 has brought with it the publication of a number of key documents relating to the core of The Geelong College as well as outlining our way forward. The publication of the College Values: Integrity with compassion; Community with diversity; Aspiration with humility; Respect with grace; and, Endeavour with courage, provides a foundation for the principles underpinning decisions relating to actions and programs here. In addition to this, the strategic plan titled "Towards 2025: We reach for the Stars" captures the aspiration we have for College in the immediate future. The strategic plan has six areas of strategic intent which serve to focus our attention and effort over this period of time. This has been an important year bringing together an understanding of our heritage, looking to the future and challenging who we are as a community into the next few years. It is important for me to make this clear at the outset of this edition of Pegasus because these developments will inform something of our character, reflected in this publication.
We have to face the reality of this, listen to the stories, address the issues, support the survivors and all those damaged by these historical incidents. The incidents of historical harm are a shameful part of The Geelong College. Recognition of this means we have a realistic understanding of who we are, and a better chance of ensuring the mistakes are not repeated. In short, we are seeking to ensure the engagement with our community is positive, even in matters relating to historical harm. Our community is diverse and dynamic, focussed on students of today as well as of the past. Pegasus documents many good news stories focussed on achievements in 2018. This year has brought with it further developments in the teaching and learning spaces. At the Senior School we have upgraded many classrooms with significant changes to a number of rooms in the Cloisters. These have been modernised in fixtures and fittings to ensure they continue to serve students through meeting the needs of the contemporary school. Many rooms have been significantly updated as the first stage of the schedule for upgrade of all rooms in this historic area of the Senior School.

In addition to this and also informed by the stated College Values, this year has brought with it some significant events in the history of The Geelong College. The presentation of the Loud Fence ribbons in an artistic installation to the College community, housed in the College Chapel, in March was a very significant occasion. The details of this event have been documented in Ad Astra over the last 12 months and its impact is long lasting. Recognition that some people have been harmed in the history of The Geelong College is important.

The redevelopment of the Junior School in Campbell House has been, and continues to be, a huge project. This development is as tricky as building an aeroplane while flying it. The students have been excited by the project and with the completion of both the new hall to be named "Wayaperre" (indigenous for "to meet") in time for the 2019 school year and the adjacent car park, the new year will bring with it significant evidence of development. The remainder of the development is scheduled to be largely undertaken in 2019. It is expected the completed Campbell House will be around Easter 2020. We are very appreciative of the significant contribution of funds by The College Foundation to assist the Campbell House redevelopment. The new areas will be in place and a feature of educating students at Campbell House for at least the next 50 years. In addition to contributing to capital projects, The Geelong College Foundation has found new areas of engagement in the life of College over the last 12 months.
The funds donated are to be kept largely as a corpus from which a return will be taken to support the advancement of indigenous students of The Geelong College. These funds will enable us to extend our indigenous connections beyond our school gate, to support students and their families into the future. This is a part of a long term commitment to reconciliation and support for both young indigenous students as well as their communities. The continued growth of the money held and ongoing donations to this Fund will secure our capacity to do this.
The inaugural Foundation Fellowship this year funded two small teams of staff who visited Italy or New Zealand to advance their professional learning in specific areas of teaching practice and curriculum development. These experiences bring with them great benefits for our students. This initiative has been additional to the normal financial contributions made by the Foundation to student scholarships, infrastructure (particularly upgrades in both Mackie and Mossgiel houses this year) and the purchase of two strategically important properties in close proximity to the Senior School. The Foundation's financial support for and active engagement in capital projects across our three schools, student scholarships and the professional learning of staff is invaluable. The role of parents in the life of The Geelong College continues to flourish. The role of the PSPA continues to be significant by providing regular forums for the parents to support the life of the Middle and Junior Schools through regular meetings and events. Parent and community groups in the Senior School have grown in recent years on the basis of particular activities. The Carji Greeves Club continues to thrive and support Football as does the Albert Bell Club continue to provide enormous community support for Rowing. Parents are directly involved in Music, Rowing, Hockey, Cricket, Tennis and other activities. They continue to assist greatly in the experience of our students and those who visit Geelong for weekend fixtures. This is all part of the positive experience here.
The Old Geelong Collegian Association has also been very active this year. "OGCA Connect" was launched last year as a new web based system for connections between OGCA members. The uptake has been very encouraging. OGCA Connect is extending the formal and informal interactions at a global scale of both a professional and personal nature. This is an excellent benefit for members of the College community and another form of added value by the OGCA. This is in addition to the regular schedule of reunions and meetings that bring together former students here in Newtown and around the world. Following the sad news of the passing of Dr Bill Williams (OC 1974) in 2017, members of his Year group gathered together to commence the Bill Williams Scholarship Fund. Engaged by Bill's passion for indigenous issues, this Scholarship Fund was launched at a function in the dining hall in May.
Over the last 12 months The Geelong College Council has commenced a new initiative to support students who might not be otherwise able to attend College. "Pegasus Scholarships" are intended for students who bring with them special attributes that may be related to sport or other cultural aspects of our school. It is expected recipients of Pegasus Scholarships are fully engaged in all aspects of College life, not only limited to a specialty area such as a sport. This approach to scholarships is consistent with the existing expectations we have for recipients of Music and Academic scholarships. In a manner similar to the Bill Williams Scholarship Fund, we are seeking to build a corpus of endowed funds to assist with the funding of these scholarships so they may continue indefinitely.
The Geelong College does not operate in isolation. It has been an institution actively engaged with its community throughout its entire history. The historial place of The Geelong College in the Gee long region, and regional areas of Victoria and southern NSW Riverina is well understood. A challenge for Geelong brings with it some challenges for College. In particular, as a result of the significant expansion of Melbourne in terms of both population and area to the west of Melbourne we now find Geelong is operating in an increasingly metropolitan context. This is evident in the changing skyline, economic structure and character of the Geelong area. However, the people of Geelong are seeking to maintain a regional character for the region that attracted, or retained them in the first place. From time to time there is some tension between an evolving metropolitan context and preserving a regional character. Increased demand for places at College and solid enrolment growth place pressure on our facilities now and in the immediate future. We are seeking to respond appropriately to this pressure, advance College and maintain the outstanding experiences for our students. College needs to continue to be a learning institution that serves its students and maintains its strengths of its regional character despite an altering social and economic context. The review of the Capital Master Plan (CMP) has commenced, even though the existing CMP was devised as recently as 2015, such has been the pace of change for Geelong and the need for College to respond to it. At the completion of my third year as Principal I feel very familiar with College and a true passion for its success. The Geelong College is a complex, human place. Consequently, there are many challenges to overcome as we seek to maintain a strong path of advancement. Pegasus provides a record of achievements with a focus on our wonderful students. It is my hope you enjoy reading over this year book for many years.

2018 Prefects 2nd Row. Kirsten Van C/eef, Ruby Pekin-Schlicht, Jack Thornton, Charlie Sprague, Charlotte Midgley Lach/an Osborne, Tyler McHarry Ellie Barr; Simon Young 1st Row- Catherine Clark, Libby Falkiner, Lach/an Sutherland, Mirnrni Balaam, Zac Jackson, Georgia White, Ebony Skene
As our role as Co-Captains comes to an end we reflect on our years at College. 2018 has been a combination of varied experiences, successes and learning, all intertwined with a huge amount of enjoyment. Working with our Vice-Captains Libby Falkiner and Zac Jackson has been seamless and fulfilling, a testament to their aptitude and commitment. The prefects were an organised and productive team. It was a pleasure working with all of them and we thank them for their efforts. This success was enabled by the guidance and mentorship provided by Dr Miller, Mr Smith, Mr Young and Ms Van Cleef. They were an excellent resource for our development as captains and we thoroughly enjoyed the rapport we developed with them. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for their help. As captains who value education, we joined with the captains of the ten APS schools to raise funds for the Skyline Education Foundation who help disadvantaged, gifted students through their final years of schooling. We did so through College fundraisers at Middle School and Senior School and the APS inaugural celebrity basketball match in Melbourne, which raised over $2,500. These combined efforts provided a bursary of $11,000 to support a student's learning. This is something we are very proud of and feel will make a genuine difference. Learning more about promoting and exploring leadership was at the forefront of our minds this year, as was giving back to the community. After attending the National Leadership Summit led by Head Quarters Australia and the Leading Teams workshop with the prefects, we felt learning about leadership is integral to students making the most of their skills and achieving their best. For this reason, we felt it was essential to build on last year's Geelong Leadership Seminar in order to share what we learnt. School captains and leaders from 12 Geelong schools attended the afternoon of collaboration featuring the wisdom of Vice Chancellor of Deakin University, Jane den Hollander. The breadth of the College's co-curricular activities is extensive, and it is the dedicated and passionate support from the whole school community who embrace these activities that allows our students to train, rehearse and perform at such a high standard. The Foundation Concert was a celebration of the School's enthusiasm and love of music, with outstanding performances across all year levels. An Trinh's Piano Concerto in A Minor, by Edward Grieg was exceptional.

The Senior School Production 'Legally Blonde' was highly entertaining, brilliantly cast, fast-paced and packed with humour. Sarah McQuinn led a talented cast on her journey from sorority girl to a Harvard Law School graduate.
Many students had the opportunity to travel within Australia and abroad, with a study tour of China, an expedition to Nepal and the Year 10 Fulfilling Lives trips to Central Australia and South Eastern Asia. Eight Year 11 students made the longawaited return to Lenakel Presbyterian School, on the island of Tanna, that suffered extensive damage during Cyclone Pam in 2015. In sport, 15 students across five sports gained selection in APS representative sides and students competed at National Championships in Australian Rules Football, cross country running, netball and skiing. Georgie Batten captained the Victorian team of 100 riders at the Australian Inter Schools Equestrian Championships. Jack Thornton teamed up with Geelong Grammar's Hamish Wynn-Pope in the Junior World Rowing Championships in Czechoslovakia. A great effort from these athletes who combined their studies with high level training commitments. The VCE Art Show displayed the amazing talents of our students across textiles, photography, design technology, visual communications and the fine arts and included a breathtaking piece by Ellie Barr in laser cut perspex representing the strength of mind and body. The CLRI and the Triple R program provided inspirational speakers for our senior students and interested members of the wider community. Presenters included Anna Rose, an author and climate change campaigner, who spoke passionately about the environment, Paul Dillon, who articulated the facts and dangers of alcohol and illicit drug use, and Chelsea Roffey, the AFL's first female umpire, who spoke about strategies to influence social change to enable girls to be authors of their own lives. Our Prefect group enjoyed the many opportunities to attend assemblies, sports and presentation days at the Middle and Junior School campuses and were very impressed by the engagement shown in the activities. We would like to thank Mrs Russell, Head of Middle School, and Mrs Wood, Head of Junior School, for co-ordinating our visits. We would like to thank our Year 12 cohort for their support and friendship. We look forward to the next exciting stage, knowing that this great school has instilled in us the values of integrity, compassion, respect and endeavour, which gives us the courage and confidence to seek new friendships, new directions for learning and ways to contribute to our communities. We sincerely thank all members of staff for the encouraging, respectful and confidence-filled environment you helped to create during our busy, challenging and wonderful years, here at The Geelong College.

It has been over a year since I began as Chaplain in the Junior and Middle schools at the Geelong College and the year has been full of surprises and challenges. There are four significant areas that have stood out in this first year. The first significant part of the role is the preparation and leading of the chapel services. Chapel services are now offered in the Junior School and Middle School each term and we have endeavoured where possible, to have all students attend Chapel services at the College Chapel, located in the grounds of the Senior School. The gathering of staff and students for chapel services offers all present a time of sacred space, time out in the midst of busy and fast-paced lives, a time to stop and reflect on our lives and where God is calling us to be. Through our Chapel services we explore and celebrate events and topics significant to the College and the Christian tradition including Christmas, Easter and social justice issues. A typical Chapel service will include music and song, Bible readings or stories, prayers and time for reflection. This time may take a variety of forms, including various disciplines from the Arts. A second key part of the role is supporting the Christian education of our students. To support the Christian ethos of the College, as a Uniting Church school, we have introduced the Godly Play program into the Junior School. In this program the students are introduced to the sacred stories of the Christian tradition, allowing time to explore and reflect on the stories. These lessons conclude with time for personal expression through art and text to illustrate what the students have explored, and to express ideas they have developed during the class. The third significant part of the role is offering pastoral care to students, families and staff. This ministry involves being available to staff, students and families as their lives unfold, and they celebrate and mark the joys and challenges that life brings. The fourth feature of the role has been the 'Eat Up' program, where up to 1000 sandwiches are made in each session. The program is supported by staff, students and parents from across the whole College who participate in the sessions. This program supports and illustrates our Christian social justice response to people in need in the wider community of Geelong.

Established in 2014, our Vision for Leaming set a strategic direction that would see our College be as deliberate and professional in our approach to learning for our staff as we are for our students. It has been a remarkable journey over the last five years as we have invested time and resources into ensuring every staff member at the College has had the opportunity to develop and refine their teaching and learning practice. Through our Leaming Project professional learning model, post graduate study opportunities, attendance at external seminars, workshops and conferences and a wide variety of events offered through our Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation, our staff have been able to take control of their own professional learning and take it in a direction that is relevant to their needs, interests and passions. In addition to this, we were delighted last year to gain additional support from the College Foundation to offer a significant professional learning bursary titled the Foundation Fellowship. The Foundation Fellowship is now an annual fellowship providing opportunities for The Geelong College staff to undertake study, research or professional development nationally or abroad. The Foundation Fellowship objectives are to: •
provide opportunities for staff 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; provide an opportunity for a staff member or team of staff members to travel abroad in search of new ideas, innovation and excellence, and; To raise the profile of The Geelong College Foundation and its support of the Centre for Learning, Research & Innovation.
Last year the inaugural recipients were Christie Barrett, Julie Bickett, Marita Seaton and Doug Wade who immersed themselves in a study tour of Reggio Emilia in Italy and an investigation into the interdisciplinary approach of some of New Zealand's most innovative schools. The impact that this has had on our Junior and Middle School communities has been profound and continues to spur new innovations, insight, and approaches.
A panel that consisted of our Principal Dr Peter Miller, our Director of Teaching and Learning Mr Adrian Camm, Mr Sandy Hutton, President of the Foundation and Foundation Board Member Mr Scott Chirnside, recently judged many proposals against a detailed set of selection criteria. I extend my congratulations to Emma Watters and Charmaine Saraci from our Junior School for their joint submission and to Gerard Donovan and Peter Blanchfield from our Senior School for their individual submissions. Emma and Charmaine will be attending a Study Tour of Reggio Emilia in Italy early in 2019 and explore more deeply the pedagogical and philosophical underpinnings of this approach. Emma and Charmaine will visit schools and investigate how the environment and learning spaces support the hundred languages of children and how we can create more inclusive and democratic environments built around listening to children's interests, passions and questions about the world around them. Gerard Donovan will be travelling to Canada to Rutland Middle School. This will provide Gerard an opportunity to continue to develop his teaching practice while building intercultural capabilities and global citizenship skills. Gerard will also be investigating the British Columbia curriculum, which has many similarities to our Vision for Leaming and different assessment methods in Mathematics and Science. Peter Blanchfield will continue the Masters of Sports Coaching degree in which he has been participating through the University of Queensland. Peter has been studying this part time whilst continuing in his full-time role as Director of Rowing. I am sure you will join me in congratulating this year's Foundation Fellowship recipients and we look forward to them sharing their experiences with our community.
Something old, something new: 21st century learning in a traditional setting Looking through an archival document like Pegasus it is easy to marvel at the diversity of opportunity available at a school such as The Gee\ong College. The range of enrichment and outreach programs, sporting pursuits and extracurricular activity is extensive and richly rewarding for a student who chooses to 'make the most of their time here'. It is also easy to overlook the diversity of academic
opportunities available and student achievements. The successful participants in Mathematics and Science competitions, the broad exploration of Geography fieldwork across al\ levels, the initiatives for Girls in Engineering and Science ... just to scratch the surface. Not to mention the '\earning without assessment' programs our students experience such as Year 9 City Week and the study tours open to al\ year levels across Languages, Humanities and the Arts. The Senior School can be judged unfairly for playing an al\ too narrow academic 'game·, suggesting a focus on ATARs and Study Scores. It is true that data can be a useful judgement tool and that league tables and accessible data sets (albeit superficially analysed) are scrutinized by the community. It is; however, not true that our teachers are motivated only by achieving a set of results simply to justify their positions or to improve their subjects' or the School's position on a 'league table'.
It is true that the delivery of education at Senior School is
ensconced in 19th and 20th Century architecture. Beautiful as this is, it does not accurately reflect what is happening behind the historical doors. Our teachers continually research and collaborate on best practice and innovative, engaging \earning strategies, not simply to differentiate within their classroom, but to deliver diverse programs relevant to the 21st Century learner. In 2018 we saw a refreshing revamp of some of our muchcoveted Cloisters classrooms. The design palette adopted celebrates the historical significance of the spaces and created fresh, comfortable and agile \earning environments with a po\ycentric approach to student engagement. As we move deeper into the digital age of the 21st Century our learners need to be equipped with contemporary skills that reflect societal change. Creativity has shifted (or maybe it was always there?) to the centre of our pedagogical thinking. As the City of Gee\ong embraces its newly bestowed honour of a UNESCO City of Design, our teachers are introducing programs and opportunities to engage contemporary young minds. 2018 saw the successful start-up of a year-long Year 10 elective titled Digital Media Design. This innovative approach to creative design education started with what the students know, and guided by students, moved to 'what do you want to know' through a series of group and team-based design briefs. We are now seeing many opportunities for innovation within- and across subjects at our school with digital technologies driving change in the learning landscape. In 2019 we will see the introduction of a Robotics and Mechatronics elective enabling design, coding and engineering exploration, which will feed into the Computing, Technology and Science pathways. We are seeing developments in Financial Literacy programs through the Business Studies domain and the use of virtual reality technology to bring History to life. An exciting time lies ahead for the Senior School as programs continue to be reinvigorated to stimulate and engage the active learner in every student who walks the grounds of this dynamic and diverse \earning landscape.

Year 12 Exit Lunches Trying to capture a moment with any student can be a difficult task. If that student happens to be a Year 12 trapped in the VCE bubble and desperately consumed by the light at the end of the tunnel, it can be particularly challenging to pin them down. However, throw in a free lunch complete with spring rolls, hedgehog slice and orange juice and you might have a sneaky chance. At the beginning of Term 4, with less than two weeks of classes to go, I held eight lunches with each of the Year 12 House groups where my intention was to enjoy some informal time with them while allowing them to reflect on their time at College and offer some feedback with the view to making the school a better place for those who will follow them. The conversations took many unexpected twists and turns but were ultimately framed around 3 main questions. 1. What are you passionate about? 2. What would you fight to keep? 3. What is the pebble in your shoe?

Naturally, they were also very passionate about some of their teachers, which is always refreshing to hear at the end of their journey. When we drilled a little deeper as to who and why, they expressed their gratitude for the 'above and beyond' support they received - many looking as far back as Campbell House. What would they fight to keep? The conversations from above tended to drift into this domain having previously discussed their areas of passion, however, the Year 12 Common Room was usually one that popped up. The Common Room, despite being closed on numerous occasions this year, was attributed to being one of the major reasons why their year group formed closer bonds in Year 12. Simple things such as making a toasted sandwich (or trying to cook a steak!) at the toasted sandwich makers seemed to promote conversations that would not necessarily have happened elsewhere. All groups were emphatically opposed when asked if the common room could be opened up to Year 11 as well!
The contentious war cry always received some air play which was insightful given it was often raised by the girls where they were quite content to watch it rather than join in.
What were they passionate about? It would be of no surprise that the students were particularly passionate about sport and their involvement in the APS. They felt it offered a point of difference to other local schools, gave them relevance in Melbourne and united them as a cohort and school community. They were also particularly proud of their ability to punch well above their weight when it came to competing against their 'Big Brothers and Sisters' in Melbourne - a reference to our size and demographic (coeducational). Sport was always followed by other areas of co-curricular, namely music and productions. The Austin Gray Centre featured heavily.
What was the pebble in their shoe? Translation: What annoys you?Tutorials, jewellery rules, hair rules, unnecessary emails from staff, not receiving their Year 12 jumpers until Term 4, Common Room closures, having to get permission from home to sign out when they are 18 years old etc. Interestingly, one conversation became quite heated as one of the boys questioned the hair policy believing the rules should be more relaxed and in keeping with "the real world". The response came from an unsuspected source, one of his male peers, who spoke strongly about the school tradition and for what he believed separated us from other schools. It is funny how they begin to believe in the rules on their way out!
An area that has not come up previously yet was mentioned in a number of the lunches this year was the 'look of the school'. There was a strong feeling that any new buildings should reflect the historical aesthetics of the school's heritage. They are aware that there will be some building phases to come in the future but wanted the school to retain its 'look' and any new buildings must be blended with the current surroundings.
In summary, they were very guarded about change, professed their love for the school and were incredibly grateful for the opportunities provided for them. Fortunately, the pebbles in their shoes were nothing more than pebbles.

The Mindful World Tanya Motiani, Teacher Assistant ELC The Mindfulness program started up in Early Leaming three years ago spread to Junior School. The program progressed from the Mindful World to the Mindful Body, the Mindful Mind and the Mindful Heart. The underlying principles of self-exploration, emotional regulation, and basic stress relief were explored in a playful. interactive manner. Through practice students developed skills to navigate their school and home life. The children were engaged in the program and reported being genuinely curious about the content. Many parents commented that the children shared practical tips with peers and family. It is hoped that the children will take mindfulness into their hearts and minds, and into their futures. Makes me feel a lot more thankful to be in this world
Year 3 student Mindfulness makes me feel calmer at school and at home. If I can't sleep J'/l get out of bed, sit on the floor, do some mindfulness, then go back to sleep.

In The Zone Claire Bartlett, Deputy Head Junior School Zones of Regulation is a framework to foster self-regulation and emotional control. Children learn how to categorise the way they feel and the states of alertness they experience into four coloured zones. The framework provides them with strategies to become more aware of their emotions. to control impulses and to solve problems. The Red Zone describes extremely heightened states of alertness and intense emotions such as being elated or angry, explosive behaviour. devastation, or terror. The Yellow Zone describes a heightened state of alertness and elevated emotions; however the child has more control. They may be experiencing stress. frustration, anxiety, excitement. silliness. the wiggles. or nervousness. The Green Zone describes a calm, alert state. They may be described as happy, focussed, content, or ready to learn. The Blue Zone describes low states of alertness and down feelings such as feeling sad, tired, sick, or bored. Students have recognised that they can help themselves and their peers change zones; 'I was in the yellow zone so I did some mindfulness and I am now back in the green zone.· 'My friend was sad so I told him some jokes to make him happy and now he is in the green zone.·
Understanding ourselves, understanding others and understanding our place in the world Doug Wade, Year 4, 5 & 6 Level Coordinator In the Year 4,5 and 6 TripleR program students developed an understanding of self, of others and of our place in the world. To develop an understanding of themselves students identified their feelings, put their feelings into words and developed empathy for others. This was achieved through discussions, role plays, games, stories and analysing situations that occur in the class or playground. All classes explored the positive impact on focussing on gratitude and filled in a 21-day Gratitude Journal. In Year 5 the students worked on an integrated unit on 'Belonging'. They developed an awareness that people belong to different groups and appreciated the benefits of being part of communities. They examined the skills required to work successfully with others and the ways they can be inclusive and empathetic. In Year 6, the unit 'Cultures of the World' assisted the students to develop an understanding, empathy and awareness of different cultures within our local community and around the world. Through research, discussion, questioning and reading the students came to realise the similarities between people, customs and cultures. They came to understand that Australia is a multi-cultural society and that we need to respect and embrace cultural diversity. They explored and thought about skills, strategies and ideas that develop and promote kindness to one another. I learnt that countries have very different cultures as well as lots of similarities.
Keiran I loved learning about different parts of the world and learning about what they do in their everyday life. I want to learn more.

Love, Sex and Relationships in Triple R Jane Utting, Head of Physical Education and Health, Senior School A focus of the Year 9 and 10 Triple R program is the Relationships and Sexuality Education Unit "Love, Sex and Relationships". It takes a skills development approach to ethical decision-making. At its heart is the concept of young people taking care of themselves, taking care of each other and having an equal say in their relationships. Australian research has found young people want opportunities to discuss the emotional and practical aspects of relationships what to expect and how to cope, and not simply the biological and reproductive information. The program brings together sexual health education and relationships education, to challenge the acceptability of "pressure and expectations" and replaces this with a new norm of ethical attitudes towards love, sex and relationships. Students engaged in active discussions and activities which explored ethical relationships, consent, equity, respecting diversity and sexual and reproductive health. Discussions were always topical and relevant, particularly in the context of current issues highlighted in the media.
The learning of our students in the TripleR program has certainly been valuable in assisting them to be resilient, reflective young people who understand what it means to thrive in relationships which are positive and respectful of themselves and others. I sincerely thank all staff involved in delivering our TripleR program.

Calvert started the year exceeding expectations with our place in House Swimming. Archie Vernon, Paddy Ryan and Lucy Young's results brought in the majority of the House ribbons. Although Calvert was robbed of a win in the much-deserved chant competition we did what we came to do; swim! Meeting the fresh-eyed Year 9 students was a chance to see how Calvert may go in the future and from what we can see, Calvert will be very promising in cross country, football, swimming and music. We welcomed the Year 9 cohort with games in the gym where we displayed the Calvert spirit of fun and being welcoming. Members of the House were in shock in the lead-up to House Music as they had actually learned the long and difficult words of 'Uptown Funk" two weeks before the big day. Although not placing in the top four, Calvert gave it their best with very few people missing on the day. Harriet, Keeley and Alison's stunning vocals in small group along with Connor, Usher and Josh's incredibly tight band were definitely the reason why Calvert didn't finish any lower. House Athletics saw us decked out in 'dorky tourists' themed costumes and once again ended up being an exciting, sunny day with some amazing results. The athletic members of the House did not disappoint, including Kate Synoradzki, Hugo Williams and Will Jarman from Year 9, Laura Ryan from Year 11 and Jess Mclachlan and Angus Williams from Year 12. With all Calvert either competing or helping out, we placed very pleasingly. Despite not bringing home 'The Cronk' in 2018, we are extremely proud of all of Calvert House.
We are also very proud of the fundraising initiative Annabelle Fisher and Ms Henricus organised in 2018, raising money for 'Research4Riney' in support of Bowel Cancer Australia, the Jodie Lee Foundation and the Peter Maccallum Cancer Foundation. By running a raffle and selling Emma & Tom's juices at the Derby Day game, they raised an incredible $1200. We were also very thankful to Shannon House for donating their Carnation Sale fundraising towards this incredible cause also. As departing Year 12s, we wish the Calvert Year 9 and 10s all the best for keeping up the positive role modelling, the collaborative community, the healthy competitiveness and our legacy of success in the years to come. We wish the Calvert Year 11s all the best for their final year and in their roles leading Calvert for another exceptional 12 months. Importantly, we thank the Year 12 Calvert 'tute' group for the close friendship, team ethic and banter for the past four years. We thank Mr Taylor for being an exceptional tutor and showing so much interest and care. With Ms Foley stepping down as an excellent Acting Head of House we welcomed Mr Joyce who has led the group in a fun and respectful manner. As soon as 'Joycey' entered our community we knew he would be a great influence; giving us the competitive drive we needed, but also showing us some lighter moments. With his background in the theatrical side of life, Mr Joyce brought so much energy to the House Room and showed us that Calvert is a force to be reckoned with. We wish all of our Calvertians the best for their future endeavours, both personally and in keeping up the high standards of the House. Macy Lockyer & Jack Moorfoot

Coming into 2018, we were eager to maintain the phenomenal efforts Coles House made last year and were hoping to continue being a force to be reckoned with for the Cronk. Welcoming all new members including the youthful Year 9s with open arms, everyone was keen to see how we would face tough competition. Despite working collaboratively to comfortably fill every event, it was clear the pool wasn't our friend with an 8th placing in House Swimming. Nevertheless, we were all extremely proud of our efforts. To strike back from this rough start, we were keen to hear the return of Zara Burrell's silky vocals in House Music with the support of Stephanie Williams and the big group's majestic rendition of Counting Stars. Huge mentions go to Tom Forshaw and Noah Goodall-Wilson who stepped it up on drums and keys respectively. Unfortunately, a difference of less than 1 point separating the bottom four Houses saw Coles blindsided with last place by default. This shaky start meant we needed to lift our game to make the rest of the year ours. Living up to the typical Coles determination, we became the House to beat in the small events. Coming away with wins in soccer, hockey, basketball and futsal to name a few, we were running Mr Conway dry on donut money. Coles proved to possess fancy footwork that the other Houses couldn't beat, with successes in futsal and soccer. Rookie Alex Anastassiou came out of nowhere to show the other Houses who was the most light-footed, with brothers Lobo and Labe Silaxa supporting him up and down the field to help us sneak a goal behind unsuspecting keepers. Girls Basketball saw the likes of Stephanie Williams tearing up the court. Her insane athleticism combined with Olivia Batten's game experience and Katie Archer's confidence saw no one

getting in our way. Absolutely blitzing the competition by more than 20 points sent a clear message that Coles was back and stronger than ever. The football veterans Ned Cox, Lachlan Bartlett, James Gadd and Fergus Willett teamed up to be competitive. Leading the new recruits with dignity and passion, the narrow loss to Morrison in the grand final was considered a victory in the House room. A shout out must go to all boys suiting up to play a demanding game on Mackie Oval in harsh, windy conditions. Coupling these efforts with a 3rd in Cross Country, thanks to speed demons Skye Ellis, Olivia Richardson, Ruby PekinSchlicht and Andy Deans all coming away with medals, a promising finish to the year was on its way. Of course, Coles would not be complete without our wonderful supportive and enthusiastic staff. Long-standing members Ms Hynes, Mr Clifford, Mrs Porter alongside new members Mr Bell, Mr Cook and Mr Orr all contribute to making Coles a supportive and caring environment. On behalf of everyone in Coles we would like to extend a massive thank you to Mr Conway, who continues to risk a few grey hairs here and there to keep us all in line. Thank you, Mr Conway, for being an inspiring leader and teaching us what we need to know about leading with humility through thick and thin. Reflecting back on this year, it has been one of ups and downs, yet one filled with great memories and achievements that will not be forgotten as we leave the dimly lit Coles House room to embark on the next journey of our lives. I would like to congratulate all members of Coles on their determined efforts to keep us where we want to be, and that is on our way to the Cronk. Nyah Burrell & Michael Delahunty

The supportive atmosphere created by all Keith members has led to a phenomenal year in the House of green for 2018. Refreshed and excited, Keith House members returned at the beginning of Term 1 for yet another year of friendships and memories that will transcend the confines of the House room in the future. With a new group of House leaders keen to lead the way in demonstrating our chalk-board mantra: "it's about the journey not the destination", and the welcoming of our Year 9s into the Keith family, the excitement and enthusiasm for a prosperous year kickstarted our House events with admirable podium finishes in swimming, tennis, badminton and volleyball, along with a first place in softball early in Term 1. As our united efforts gained momentum, under the experienced guidance of music gurus Sarah McOuinn, Georgia Urquhart, Rory Vagg and Mr Ebeling, our House choir performed Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name", and Keith's small group's awe-inspiring rendition of Sam Sparro's "Black and Gold" blew the audience away. Our annual traditions; the Keith rock-off and the competitive House trivia, provided the opportunity for our Keith family to work with all year levels and get to know one another more. As the weather grew cold and Keith members enjoyed hot chocolate mornings in the House room provided by the House prefects, we transitioned into our winter events. Following netball, basketball, hockey and football, the soccer players proved their cumulative expertise in taking out both the House soccer and futsal competitions. This led us into our third major House event; cross country, where many Keith members achieved outstanding individual results and we came away with an overall fifth placing. With sights set on triumph nearing the end of the 2018 Cronk season, Keith banded together to develop an assortment of
20
creative ideas for our 'Urban' House arts theme. Honourable mention goes to the House's small group of representatives in assuring that we came away with the desired first prize. Despite our fifth and seventh placings in debating and athletics respectively, our collective year-long efforts in all aspects of Senior School life were rewarded with a commendable third place overall for the Cronk. Regardless of results, Keith's positive atmosphere has remained strong and we hope that this will be upheld by those that continue their journeys in Keith for years to come. This year we sadly farewelled the ever-enthusiastic and passionate Mr Gilby, whose 14-year reign as dedicated Head of House for Keith has come to an end. Over his years in the role, Mr Gilby inspired the very values that the house is built upon and always continued to have faith in Keith's success. Among various victories and losses, he continued to hope and dream of a green future. This is something that all Keith members past and present, greatly appreciate. No other would be better to fill these shoes than Keith's new Head of House, Mr Hodge, whom we all know will bring great things to the House with his determination to continue to develop an inclusive and exciting environment. We would like to extend our gratitude to all tutors for sharing the credit in making our journey through the House so enriching; their input does not go unnoticed. Congratulations to all for a highly memorable year. We wish all the best to the younger members of Keith for many more victories and wonderful memories to be made in the years to come as the future leaders of the House continue to carry on the 'Keith love' legacy, and hope that they all enjoy the experiences of such an exceptional house family as much as we have.

McArthur started the year determined to make 2018 a good one. McArthur has been incredibly successful, not just in the major four House events, but also in many of the minor activities. McArthur again showed that our close-knit family can come together and strive for outstanding results while having lots of fun along the way. The Year 9s had a smooth transition into the House and were quick to recognise our passion and energy. Their ability to quickly settle into the House was impressive especially when asked to organise a House assembly. The future is looking bright with our new recruits willing to step up and represent McArthur. Our efforts in the pool weren't the best, placing us 6th and once again we felt we were 'robbed' of success with our chant. We bounced back in rehearsals for House Music and were determined to continue the winning streak. With a lot of hard work from our music geniuses Georgia White and An Trinh we came up on top with the help of Maggie Gilby shining on the stage in the small group's performance of 'Feeling Good'. Winning back-to-back was fantastic, next year will be three in a row! As the year progressed, noted performances by the girls and boys in House Basketball, the girls and boys Soccer, and Junior tennis were recorded. It was terrific to see the depth of talent on show from all team members. McArthur's success continued in the middle of the year as we came away with a 3rd placing in Cross Country with many individuals achieving Age championships placings. Our artistic talents were evident in the 'Tape It' House Arts competition, with several girls led by Imogen Duff dedicating time and effort to their beautiful artwork. Many students from McArthur performed in the outstanding musical 'Legally Blonde' with a number in leading roles. It was exciting to see them on stage.
22
We ended the year placing 4th in House Athletics with many excellent performances. Highlights were a 1st in his Age group to Charlie Lazzaro, an equal 2nd place to Emily Williams, and an equal 3rd place to Catie Hodge, as well as solid performances by every member of the House. We wish the Year 9s and 10s all the best in the years to come and hope they continue the McArthur legacy of being a House that welcomes and celebrates everyone. We have seen each person grow over the year and hope you keep up the positive role modelling, the collaborative community, the healthy competition and our legacy of success in the years to come. We wish the Year 11s all the best for their final year as they assume the leadership of McArthur. We thank the Year 12 Tute group for the close friendships, team ethic and banter over the past four years. Huge shout out to Mr K-T who mentored the Year 12s over the past four years, and to Ms Newett, Mr Horoch, Mr Thacker, Mr Kelson, Ms Caleo and Ms Clark for their support as tutors. Mr K-T helped us when needed and provided great mentoring. He will always have a place in our hearts. Mr Taylor contributed the Tanna fundraising ideas, organisation, team determination, House lunches and endless trays of donuts. The departing Year 12s will miss the warm and friendly environment of the House room. It has been a second home for us, providing many friendships which wouldn't have been made if it weren't for the mighty blacks.

Being known as the thoroughfare of the school that connects students to their classes in the cloisters, we sometimes are a little bit walked over. This year we proved we are not walkovers and are more than a shortcut! Despite McLean's seemingly average position in the running for the Cronk, the 'do it for the House' attitude and the loving family of McLeanians gave many the opportunity to show their skills and have lots of fun. Fast approaching in Term 1 was House swimming. McLean herded everyone and rode into the day in a range of outfits mixed with our iconic red as we dressed up in our theme; 'a day on the farm'. We stood united and presented our chant, an arrangement by William Hanrahan, to the tune of The Black Eyed Peas 'Pump It'. Despite being a well-constructed chant, it was overly ambitious at such short notice and didn't appeal to the judges. Everyone's commendable participation and attitude on the day demonstrated the McLean spirit that we are so proud of, led by the likes of young guns Georgie Richards and Matilda Porter stepping up no matter the event. House music saw us putting in countless hours in rehearsals, aided by the genius that is Dr. Bahun, to produce what in our eyes was a masterful take on Toto's 'Africa'. Our small group led by Baxter Kay and Jess Wynhoven backed up by Danny Yang on drums and Hamish Dobie on guitar produced their own spin on a Beatles classic 'Let it Be'. Our combined efforts and hard work just wasn't enough to clinch first place, but there was a commendable effort put in by all! House cross country wasn't one to remember, but McLean's best qualities were brought to light with great sportsmanship and participation. House athletics didn't prove to be our strong point either, we placed last again. However, our team spirit and willingness to fill events and dress up in our 'Superhero' theme led to a fun day for everyone.
24
This year we supported Tanna by raising funds for disadvantaged local children to attend school by hosting a bake sale, which was well-run by the Year lls; putting our minds at ease that McLean will be in good hands next year. McLean competed strongly in numerous inter-house events. A few standouts were debating led by the mighty McGucken twins and Josie Horne who came away with a first place. Our efforts in basketball led us to second place, just losing in the grand final. It must be mentioned that our Year 12 team were undefeated in volleyball throughout their entire senior school career. 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. It has been a privilege to lead such an awesome and enthusiastic group of students. We would like to thank all the House members for their participation and cooperation! We are grateful for the support of the other Year 12s along with the McLean tutors: Ms Saunders and Mr Carroll (Year 9s), Dr Bahun and Mr Smith (Year 10s), Ms Mahoney (Year lls) and Mrs Henning (Year 12s); your advice and efforts have been instrumental to making this such a great year. Our final big thankyou goes to Mrs Barnes for her hard work and making McLean the loving family it is. Our time in McLean has certainly been unforgettable and we wish all McLean members the best with their future endeavours.

Morrison had a positive and enthusiastic start to 2018, which couldn't have been achieved without our great tutors and incredibly passionate Head of House, Mr Kevin Flanagan. With the new Year 9s, alongside Year 10s and lls being led by the newly emerged Year 12s, we were prepared to lead the House to yet another successful year.
Our very own Zac Norton represented Morrison as he soared across the finish line to finish first in the starting 1500m event, followed by Sophia Powers, Zoe Sander and Mimmi Balaam. James Paterson also made notable placings throughout the day. A strong third when the day concluded left Morrison in a confident place to continue climbing the Cronk ladder.
We began with a notable 5th place in the swimming pool. Morrison had many standout performers with every Morrison student striving to do their best.
The tradition of buddy activities consisting of Pako lunches and ball games was well kept and allowed friendships to grow between each Morrie cohort. We said a sad goodbye to Ms Richards last year but welcomed Ms Bain as the new tutor who worked alongside the trustworthy Mr Bauer to lead the powerful Year lls. Ms Jackman did an amazing job nurturing the Year 10s and the wonderful Ms Green took on the job of easing the Year 9s into Senior School. Mr Kristiansen looked after the Year 12s as we progressed through our final year of VCE studies.
Term 2 commenced with House Music. Morrison's big group performed John Denver's classic 'Country Roads' while our small group performed 'The Night We Met' by Lord Huron led by Xanthia Gregory and Annabel Whitford. Showing positive signs during rehearsals and having an energetic performance we made our way to a commendable 2nd place. A huge thank you goes to our Music Captains. Cross Country was our House sport highlight, taking out a strong first place for the first time this year. Morrie's huge participation rate undoubtedly contributed to the points we gained. We also had many age champions in almost every year level allowing us to peak. To finish the year on a high it was vital that Morrison had a strong finish in Athletics. Athletics was our final opportunity to snatch those much-needed points to push us to the very top. Our theme, 'Extreme sports with a touch of rainbow' brought out Morrie's sporty and athletic finesse, alongside the splash of rainbow across the board.

A huge thank you to Mr Flanagan for his outstanding service to Morrison this year. Mr Flanagan led each cohort with his usual uplifting and expressive dedication to our House, for which we were most thankful. We were delighted to finish 2nd place in the run for the Cronk Trophy. Best of luck for Morrison's success to continue into 2019. Go Morrie!

Shannon began this year with determination to move from our steadfast position of runner up and take out the Cronk. Our key goals for the year were participation and consistency. Early in the year, our annual task of retrieving our Cupid arrows began. Spreading the love to all, Shannon decided to donate the proceeds from our Valentine's Day fundraiser to the Bowel Cancer Research Foundation. This choice was made to support people who are forced to embark on a similar journey to that of a former House member. Once in Shannon, always in Shannon. Starting the House activities off with a splash, we commenced our year dressed with an Olympic theme and managed to snatch a win in House Swimming. Unfortunately, our buzzing excitement quickly turned to disappointment with our devastating 7th place in House Music. Groovin' and movin' our way down to the Love Shack, it seemed the judges did not share the love. With our Year 9s unable to resist the boogie and Nick O'Brien on the electrical drums, we definitely had a lot of fun, despite the result. Notable mentions for other sports must go to our Tennis and Water-polo and Soccer teams who put in excellent efforts and eamt the House a batch of donuts. Between Lily Edwards raising her hand for multiple activities and the boys always going with the flow, it's fair to say that the Year 11s contribution has been vital. Additionally, Bella Gard's quick catch and Olympia Binos' strong throw were admired in House Netball as both junior and senior teams gave it their best shot.
28
In Term 3, Shannon's big push for participation was rewarded in House Cross-Country. Having the smallest number of absentees, we pulled a fantastic second, proving to all other Houses that teamwork is key. The Year 10 boys were outstanding contributing a massive number of points. Other hidden skills surfaced towards the end of the year for House Arts. With Louisa Bath's artistic impression of Shannon 'McLovin' it,' and Georgie Roderick and Jess Loftus' avid taping skills, Shannon was able to produce a unique piece of art. Ultimately, Shannon prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, competitive nature and general good spirits. It was truly amazing to see us achieve our goal of winning the Cronk Trophy for 2018! Such a feat could not have been achieved without the guidance of our tutors Madame Chabant, Ms Sampson, Mr Smith, Mrs Watson and Mrs Filling. We all agree though that the whole year wouldn't have been possible without Mrs Smith, who has once again done a great job leading Shannon. On behalf of all the Year 12s, thank you to the rest of the House for supporting us throughout the year and good luck for whatever you do in the future. In this successful year and forever, we wear our navy blue to show not only pride but also respect for each member of our Shannon family. Charlotte Midgley & William Thacker

2018 has been another incredibly enjoyable year for Wettenhall House. Led by the always encouraging and supportive Ms Hallows, the year was filled with excitement and success as we improved performances in many House events. With a freshly painted House room and an eager group of Year 9s, Wettenhall was ready to take on the challenges of a new year. The much-anticipated House swimming was the first event and standout performances from Behlana Robinson, Lucie Thompson, Ben and James Fulton, as well as Year 9s Ashy Howell and Cassidy Bradshaw, did not disappoint. It was these outstanding performances and the all-round participation and positive encouragement from the rest of the house that resulted in a solid 2nd place. House music was a highlight with an outstanding small group ensemble taking on a challenging mashup that saw them place third overall. While the Wettenhall choir was unable to match the perfect vocals of our small group, luckily our effort performing a high school musical classic was enough to place the House fourth overall. Once again Wettenhall proved themselves to be an unstoppable force on the netball court reclaiming the title from McArthur. Despite several students suddenly ill on the day of cross country, the bad weather was not enough to faze the rest of the house with many yellow t-shirts consistently crossing the line in the top 20. Unfortunately, these amazing efforts were not enough to get us ahead of the other Houses placing 7th overall. Our disappointing placing in the cross country did not dampen our spirits but fuelled our determination to prove ourselves in House athletics. Wettenhall students pushed themselves to finish the year on a high with a 1st place in athletics, breaking a 26-year drought.
30
This year we continued our association with Vinnies, with all students visiting the South Geelong centre to learn about the organisation and assist in the shop. Our annual clothes drive was a success and we were happily able to send many donations back to Vinnies with the other Houses making a phenomenal effort to fill their bins. We would like to thank everyone who has been a part of the Wettenhall community for the past four years. We have thoroughly enjoyed being in Wettenhall House and are very grateful for the supportive environment it has provided. We would like to thank our very dedicated Head of House Ms Hallows for her continual support and the amazing Wettenhall tutors Ms Wiltshire, Mr Morgan, Ms Ulloa, Mr Donovan, Madame Tymms and Mrs Fitzsimon. In particular, the Year 12s are very thankful for the support and guidance of Ms Utting. Finally, we would like to wish Wettenhall the best of luck in years to come. We are confident that the enthusiasm and positivity of our House will continue and hope that next year is as exciting and memorable as this one has been. Catherine Clark & Charlie Batrouney

The Mackie boys have had an exciting year with time to make themselves at home while making lifelong friends. The Heads of the boarding Houses made sure we all became the best of mates by introducing many new entertaining activities to help us settle in. The boys were jumping for joy at Bounce. They loved the reintroduction of the urbans vs rurals footy match on Mackie oval, and the much-anticipated visit to Rowdy's farm and tree surfing in the Otways. We finished off the year with the extremely gruelling and physically demanding 'Mackie Man' competition, which was won by the much-loved Lesley Phillips and Lachie Field. Despite the House being full of fun activities, we do live at school and are locked into a cycle of sleep, work and play. The boys have done an astounding amount of work this year, with the only noises to be heard during study being those of pencils scratching and laptop keys being tapped. These efforts in study, together with the assistance of academic tutors in English, Mathematics, Science and many other subjects, were apparent in the boys' results. In addition to the boys' academic achievements we made great strides in terms of co-curricular activities. Zac Norton stunned the competition with incredible results in his many cross country meets and Jono Hanson continually improved his musical talents and ability. Jesse Deppeler had the whole crowd laughing in the School production of Legally Blonde. These are just a few of the many impressive feats of the Mackie boys this year.
32
The Mackie community has impressed us this year. We were privileged to be the Captains of the House as the boys made us proud time and time again. We have made mates that we will keep for life, some we would have never known without Mackie. Heads of House Mr Smith and Mr Gilby helped us significantly throughout the year as stand-in parents. I'd also like to thank our wonderful matron Ms Jeffreys, who time and time again goes above and beyond to make us all feel comfortable and at home by baking her famous banana bread and always being there for a chat; we'd like to say thank you. It saddens us to leave, but we are handing the House over to good hands in the new Mackie Prefects. The Year lls are bright, enthusiastic and eager to improve the House in any way they can. We recommend boarding as a great way to improve your academic and sporting prowess while also increasing your social circle. If you have considered boarding before or are unsure, we both highly recommend it as providing great character-building opportunities and great times with mates.

It only feels like a few weeks ago that we were retiring our summer dresses in Term 1 for the dreaded cold and winter uniforms. And yet, it was a long 10 months ago that Mossgiel House re-opened for the new year and the Year 12 girls returning for their last time. We were joined by new, fresh faces entering through the duty office doors, and of course, the much-anticipated arrival of new Head of House, Mrs Knight. That first night back marked the beginning of a tough and strenuous year for the Year 12 girls, however, the experience for the new girls was one filled with anticipation, excitement and perhaps just a little bit of angst. The idea of living away from home after bidding farewell to parents can be a little surreal. But, with the help of some fun introduction games between Mossgiel and Mackie, the homesickness was hopefully put on hold. Terms 1, 2 and 3 flew by. Over this time, both Mossgiel and Mackie had gone ice skating, had a long, lovely lunch in China Town, went go-karting, had a surfing lesson, spent an afternoon at Bounce and enjoyed various other activities as a result of our outings every second Sunday. The inclusion of these activities is a great way for both houses to mix across the year levels and to get to know one another. The most enjoyable outing for me, however, just consisted of the girls from Mossgiel. Mrs Knight took us to high tea at a little cafe on the way to Lome. It was such a good way to end Term 3.
The boarders' mid-year formal was themed 'Celebrities or Sportsmen' and the night prompted an abundance of costumes from singers to boxers and Meghan Markle. With our seasons of summer and winter sports over, and the final rounds of spring sports coming to an end, for Year 12 girls at Mossgiel, Term 4 is a very quick few weeks of 'lasts'. There are just two weeks of classes, culminating in our last ever Further Maths or French class over our 13-year school duration. The idea of leaving such a close community where I have made such close friendships, and which I've called my home for the past five years, is very hard. It's even harder to say goodbye and close this chapter of my schooling life. We are very excited to see where we are headed in the not too distant future. A big thank you to all the staff of Mossgiel House for everything you do for the girls, and especially Mrs Knight for adapting so well to such a crazy scene. It made our final year so much easier.
Olympia Bines, Captain
In May we celebrated National Boarding Week and began a new tradition by holding an inaugural Massive Mossgiel Sleepover. Each of us invited a day girl to stay at Mossgiel for a night of fun, frivolity and smores! It was a very successful and a fitting celebration of all things boarding and our visitors experienced the ease of getting up for sport and only having to travel across the road! The same weekend, we worked with Mackie to raise over $400 for Geelong Mums at our Charity Trivia Breakfast in the Dining Hall.

Year 10 Politics The politics program was an exciting and enjoyable experience. Not only was the program an invaluable insight into Australian politics, but also a great way to make new friends and develop teamwork skills. I had the privilege to be a member of the One Nation party and working under the leadership of the party leader Jono Hanson and Deputy leader Matthew Thacker, I was fortunate enough to be the guru/speech writer for our Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Yang. Throughout the two days of research and getting to know the One Nation Party, we discovered that this was a group of people who were "selfish, cruel and racist". It was definitely a big challenge for all of us to tum ourselves into politicians like that, but as we became more familiar with the nature of politics we successfully transformed into one of those deceiving, sinister politicians whose mouths are full of lies and unreliable promises. We've all learnt so much from this program. We had a detailed insight into how the real Australian politicians run their own parties and press conferences. We got to know the differences between parties and their values. We also experienced being an inhumane One Nation party member and completely changed our kind and loving nature in two days. One of the key aspects I've learnt from this program is how politics is more than what we're seeing on newspaper, television and from what we're hearing out of the politician's mouths.
There is so much scheming and planning in each party; they're always changing targets to attack and always swapping friends and enemies. One mistake and it could lead you to a massive downfall in this war of politics. The most interesting and special role in the program is the Media team. They were constantly intruding into every party area and tried to collect any leaked information that could potentially change the whole game. The Media team was just as professional at turning black into white. They created conflict between parties by misleading all of us by twisting every word we said and launched the fake news to the authorities and the general public. Overall, the Politics Program was such a refreshing and adventurous experience for all Year 10 students. I would like to thank Mr Flanagan and Mr Bauer for running this program and making it such an unforgettable event for us. It is definitely a great way to take a break from the intense studying and routine of classes but at the same time, learning something we weren't so familiar with.

Debating Geelong College debaters of 2018 immersed themselves in the passion of argument throughout an extremely successful and enjoyable season of debating for all our teams. The challenge of debating requires the acquisition of skills to analyse and understand an argument from every perspective. This enables points to be asserted powerfully, while addressing contrary positions in order to sway the audience. Our D grade had a marvellous season, creating a solid foundation for the future by building on their newly developed skills to be undefeated in their division in the Geelong region. This led to an appearance in the Play Offs, arguing "That we should allow all residents to vote in local and national elections, regardless of citizenship". The C grade debaters, also undefeated in the Geelong region, had an outstanding season. They won all finals until the semifinal round. Thus, they were in the last 4 of 380 teams from across Victoria in C Grade. This is quite exceptional and welldeserved. The team of Tom Forshaw, Lachlan Houen, Jonathan Hanson, Patrick White, Imogen Duff and Tom Trethewey argued with skill and intelligence throughout. Lachlan Houen is to be congratulated on being awarded a Swannie i.e. the Best C Grade Speaker in the Geelong region.

Our B grade teams were required to undertake a mixture of both prepared topics and also the more challenging secret topics. Yet, both teams embraced this task with the teams being filled with many earnest and avid speakers. Both teams tackled tricky topics such as "The West should lift all sanctions on Zimbabwe". College 2, Antonia Bowlen, Jacqui Greer, Emily Bagnara and Iona Bulford finished the season undefeated. They are to be commended in such a strong competition. College 1 comprised Connor McGucken, Oliver Soo, Luke McCoy, Ethan McGuckan, Jialin Miao and Taylor Miller. Oliver Soo is to be congratulated for being awarded a Swannie for Best Speaker in the Geelong Region B Grade.
For A grade, sadly it was our final year of debating for the team, comprised of Georgia White, Lachlan Sutherland, Ella Pullin, Ella Nigro, Behlana Robinson and Charlotte Midgley. It was definitely a step up in the level of difficulty with topics such as "That we should introduce a universal basic income" and "That banks should pay additional taxes". We enjoyed grappling with the concepts involved, using the skills and knowledge gained over our youthful years, while always endeavouring to put in our best performance. All debaters on the team were driven and open-minded, and I congratulate everyone for their efforts and for putting themselves out of their comfort zone. A special thank you must go to Ms Mahoney and Ms Green for their significant and valued help and organisation. I would also like to thank all debaters for their constant enthusiasm and widespread encouragement. Best of luck to all debaters next year and I encourage all students, no matter what level of previous experience, to give it a go. Debating will arm them with many tools and skills that they can use across many different disciplines in their future lives.

The need for schools to have a clear purpose, a core set of values and a strong ethos that underpins all that they do as a community is more important than ever. Due to the work done throughout 2017 by the College Council, The Geelong College Values were introduced to the Middle School staff and students at the very beginning of 2018. These five phrases: • • • •
Integrity with Compassion Community with Diversity Aspiration with Humility Respect with Grace Endeavour with Courage
have been a central focus when it comes to ensuring students understand that we treat all people with courtesy and kindness at the Middle School. These values have been embraced by the Middle School students. All members of our community are constantly reminded, through regular assemblies, discussions and our Triple R program, that our values only mean something if we put them into action through positive interactions with those around us. It is about promoting the right attitudes, so students succeed, both while at school and in the future. Embedding these values within everyday school life can be a challenge. It was important that the children had the opportunity to translate the College Values into their own words. It made them easier to understand and be more tangible, alongside raising their importance among the student body. Working with their Learning Mentors, the children unpacked each of the five phrases, and came up with their own interpretation of what they meant. These are some examples: • • • • •
68
• • •
Be brave: just have a go, don't be afraid to fail etc Be involved: give 100% Be attentive, contribute and focus Have big dreams and respect others while seeking to get there Be brave and confident and take appropriate risks Be tolerant Be supportive, encouraging, trustworthy and inclusive Show care and respect to ourselves, each other, our work, space and property Be responsible for our learning Communicate, Collaborate and Cooperate Be positive, find humour and enjoy each day
Our Middle School student leaders in the Student Representative Council were constantly role modelling for their peers. The SRC was divided into three groups: Compassion, Community and Environment. These distinctions, and the SRC activities and actions, certainly helped us as a community demonstrate how we can all contribute positively, to both the Middle School and the broader community. They lived and breathed our five values in many ways. It is not only an expectation that the children understand and demonstrate these values, but our staff are the role models, who through their actions and words every day, promote the College Values and influence the attitudes of the young people in our care.
Learning to Learn has been an area of focus for the Middle School in 2018. By shifting the spotlight from delivering content to teaching adaptable skills we have been able to provide more multi-disciplinary, integrated learning opportunities. This thinking has been the foundation of the Year 7 Learning to Learn program. We have taken the lead from valuable initiatives already embedded in the Middle School program and begun to build on them, creating through lines from Years 4 to 8. An example of this is provided by the introduction of 'nude food' and the efforts to achieve accreditation as a ResourceSmart school. Waste audits and classroom discussions have already seen students from 4 to 8 begin to work towards a common goal.
Being new to the role of Leader of Learning at the Middle School, I find myself in a similar situation to my students; you don't know what you don't know. Thankfully, seeing myself as a learner has helped me to appreciate the immense value of collaboration.
A redefining of the Year 8 Electives program has been another step taken in 2018. By adopting the Learning to Learn ethos and providing more opportunity for choice we hope to tap into student interests and in doing so, foster curiosity and intrinsic learning. Our own Vision for Learning values both these qualities as they promote independence and persistence, two essential elements of life-long learning.
The Middle School itself hosts a mixture of Primary and Secondary school ideology and dynamics. As such, we are in the enviable position of being able to draw the best from both worlds. In this respect, a classroom that is not easily identified as one or the other, rather a hybrid of the two would seem to be the ideal. Whilst taking this leap is not always easy, with an eye to the future and a willingness to follow our own advice by taking risks, it is within our reach.
Like our students, the staff at the Middle School has also been learning to adapt as we strive to find the balance between the knowledge our students need for future study and that which makes us adaptable, creative and empathetic humans. Whilst the thought of an unknown future dominated by technology can be daunting, we only need to remember that it is these attributes along with an imagination that allows us to act in a way that computers and robots can't. I now look forward to 2019 and the many opportunities to learn, collaborate and celebrate that it promises to bring.

Students have relished their time in the Year 8 spaces, the classrooms and break-out. The place where students and Learning Mentors gather to start and end each day in homeroom. The place where students lounge about on couches or sit at tables; silently reading, writing essays, solving Mathematics problems. working individually and in groups or discussing key ideas as a class. Year 8s have also enjoyed the new opportunities to develop their creativity in the Art and Technology electives. They have worked collaboratively alongside peers from different homerooms to explore specialist skills in each of the core disciplines in MESH electives.
A hive of activity. A place of learning. A challenge. The end of the Middle School journey. So much happens in Year 8; the child at the end of the year is so very different from the one who starts in January. They are taller, stronger and more mature. They have different interests, friends and attitudes. They are brimming with knowledge and ideas. They are confident and enthusiastic. They belong. Year 8 students have developed throughout 2018 to become a cohesive unit where students support one another. The leadership displayed by SRC Captains, SRC representatives, House Captains. Sport and Music captains has been exceptional. Students without formal responsibilities have also shown a willingness to lead by example in their day to day interactions with staff and students of the Middle School.
In Term 2, Cyber Safety was the focus and students facilitated lessons for their younger peers. Cre8 continued to be an exciting project in Term 3 where students developed a passion for lifelong learning. Through the support of a mentor, students learned new skills and celebrated their achievements at the Expo in October. It was a wonderful culmination of a term of hard work. persistence and problem solving. Our iconic camp in the Otways in Term 4 once again tested our students' resilience and perseverance. The energy of some and the sense of humour of others meant that there was rarely a dull moment. Groups came together as one, supporting each other in a quest to make it through each day with a smile and sense of fun! A new beginning awaits as this cohort of students transition into their senior years of study and continue to find their place in our ever-changing world.

°To move to a new level in your life, you must break through your comfort zone and do things that are not comfortable" T. HarvEker
There is no greater way to describe the experiences our 2018 Year 7 cohort have had this year. AU students were confronted with the next stage of their schooling life as their secondary school journey began in February. Presented with new faces, new subjects and new uniforms, students had to wrangle the unknown and step outside what they knew to be comfortable. Placed in safe and secure homeroom groups, Year 7s met their hard working and caring mentors who guided them through those first few weeks and months of new timetables and expectations. This allowed students to accept different personalities and backgrounds as they learnt to work together. With the introduction of the new Learning to Learn subject in 2018, students moved out of their homeroom groups and met a wider group of their Year 7 cohort, leading to broader friendships being formed as they mixed with students of similar interests. Students adapted to the various learning styles and work spaces and all have gained valuable skills in collaboration, exploration and independent thinking. Many reflected on appreciating the opportunity to challenge themselves by doing what was ultimately uncomfortable at times but acknowledging the sense of achievement and growth they felt when completing the tasks. Year 7 Camp to Marysville in Term 2 saw students once again confronted with the unknown. Who will be in my group? What activities will we do? Can I climb up that rock wall or mountain bike down that hill? Again, the way the students responded to the unknown helped build their character and resilience. For three days, students were provided the opportunity to work with potentially unknown members of their cohort, building new friendships and allowing a sense of connectedness to flourish. The 2018 Year 7 group are unique in their willingness to step out of their comfort zone and take on what is not comfortable. Whether it be taking risks in their school work or taking up the opportunities to meet new people in the various situations presented to them. AU should be congratulated on a fantastic first year of secondary school. They should feel well prepared for the opportunities Year 8 will have to offer.

This year has been an exciting and stimulating year in the Upper Primary area. The learning experiences encountered by the students have encouraged them to explore ways to improve, know more and understand more deeply. They are encouraged to develop skills, attitudes and behaviours that will assist them to navigate the world now and in the future. The students are learning the most important skill - 'Leaming how to learn'. To be a good learner, students need to be observant and attentive. In Year 4 this is a major focus when the students visit the river, search purposefully through the garden and on their various excursions including the night visit to Mt. Rothwell. An example in Year 5 of looking carefully, noticing and looking for patterns occurs in the myriad of mathematical puzzles and open-ended tasks. The Word Study program in Year 6 requires the students to focus on phonological awareness, important spelling patterns, reading fluency, comprehension and writing. Another skill that is developed in the Upper Primary area is the ability to critique. This allows the students to become discerning consumers of the information that is coming their way every day. Students need to develop the ability to interpret, critically analyse and decipher information in books, online and on television. The Year 6 students have a Digital Citizenship Unit where they focus on being responsible and respectful in their online interactions. Through their novel studies the Year 5 students examine significant historical people and world issues.
Through class discussions they develop an understanding of how the world has changed and how people have impacted positively on the world. In Year 4 the students are continually looking for ways they can have a positive impact on the environment. This is explored and celebrated through the Environmental Heroes projects where the students find and research a local person who has positively impacted on the community. Finally, at the heart of good learning is experimenting - trial and error. There are numerous tasks where the students start out with an idea, create a product, observe the strengths and weaknesses and adjust accordingly. In Year 4 the Writer's Workshop process encourages the students to write a first draft and then modify their pieces ready for publishing. The Year 5 students created their own design projects and there was powerful learning by diving in, getting things wrong and creating an improved model. In Year 6 the TED talk procedure follows a structured path but there are many opportunities to experiment, get feedback and modify. The fantastic final products reflect a very personal journey for the students.

"Mount Elephant was much different from what I expected. It was much larger than what I thought and was visible from quite a far distance away. The walk up the extinct volcano was tiring at times, but the view was certainly worth the climb," "Walking up the mountain gave me a better look at what the volcano would have looked like if it was still active. This gave me a better understanding of what I could put in the assignment." The Year 8 Geology excursion provides an opportunity for the students to make connections between in class learning of rock formations and the local geological history. The excursion involved visiting two extinct volcanoes in Western Victoria; Mount Elephant near Derrinallum and Mount Shadwell, near Mortlake. The students had the opportunity to have a guided tour of Mount Elephant and hear about its geological formation and how it compared to other types of volcanoes in the region. "Mount Shadwell was a lot different, we were allowed inside the quarry. Breaking rocks was fun and finding crystals inside them was awesome" "Being able to see a working quarry and searching for Olivine bombs allowed me to gain an understanding of how extinct volcanoes can be mined." Mount Shadwell Quarry in contrast is a fully operational quarry providing scoria products to the construction and roadwork industries. Here, under the guidance of Keith the Quarry Supervisor, the students had the chance to fossick for volcanic bombs. Once broken open, the students hoped they were lucky enough to find large olivine crystals inside. Back at school, the students were able to use their new-found knowledge to complete an assignment on the geological formation of volcanoes in Western Victoria.

let's Be Passionate We've all been asked before: "So what do you like to do?" While it's such a simple question, sometimes it can feel difficult to answer. There is something invaluable about finding a passion in life, dedicating time to it and watching yourself improve and grow in it. Here are some key reasons why 88 believe that having a passion is so important. Having a passion can create new friendships. It's always great to find others who are interested in the same things you are, and finding communities online, at school, or inviting friends to join creates something to enjoy with others. Finding the right people is very valuable when following your passion. Not only are they motivating and inspiring they also present more opportunities.
Having a passion creates discipline. Discipline is the ability to thoroughly and carefully push through obstacles, Together, passion and discipline create a daunting leadership combination, When you take the time daily to practise your guitar, get creative on photoshop, or choreograph a new dance, you slowly watch yourself improve, which is one of the most awesome feelings, Discipline allows us to be happy. Having a passion is something that you can have forever. Through all of life's ups and downs, having a passion is an unfailing outlet we can turn to, a stress reliever, and something that will always be there. Sometimes we need a break from the craziness of life. Passions can help us escape from our worlds and take a break from everything that is happening around us.
Having a passion will open doors to unexpected possibilities. We are sure lots of you have had different passions as you've grown up. You're happily proceeding down one path when another wonderful opportunity lands in front of you, This can be confusing when you think you're clear on your passion, but we highly recommend investigating these unexpected opportunities as they often lead to something better than you ever anticipated.

Sport Achievements 2018 This year has been a great year for sport in the 8C classroom. Our homeroom's effort is evident in the variety of sports in which our students have participated, In the 8C homeroom, we pride ourselves on having a go and giving it our best. We always cheer on our fellow classmates and support them, This year, we have participated in the House Sporting events such as Swimming, Cross-Country, Athletics, Winter and Summer sports. Our sporting endeavours also include a range of individual activities in which people in 8C have partaken, This includes Mimi and Elsie in the College equestrian team, Charlie Farrer representing our college in surfing, Evie Heyward participated in snow sports, Jack Bone in golf and a huge congratulations to Phoebe Calvert who has recently joined the CBL (Country Basketball League) playing for the Super cats and is now the youngest member! Another sporting event students had the opportunity to participate in this year was the GISSA Girls AFL matches that included Lily-Mei, Isabella Bonisch and Mimi Lockwood, We also have a number of sporting leaders in our homeroom with House Captains in Archie Bain for Bellerophon and Olly Williams for Helicon, We had a lot of students appointed as the House Sports Captains during the Winter and Summer Sports. Our class values sport for a range of reasons. It is a great way to socialise and meet new people, which has been proven with the Year 7 and 8 APS teams. It is also a very enjoyable way to participate in some friendly rivalry with other schools. It has proven health benefits, helping with an individual's mental and physical state, therefore improving application in class, while the most important aspect is being able to have fun with friends.

Struggle
Depression, it's a little voice inside your head, That one million Australians can hear, But they don't feel part of a group, They feel all alone.
May 13th, 2011 That was the day, The day when my life changed forever Fear and confusion were whizzing around in my mind. Iwasonly6 And it's not every day when your mum bursts into tears. But it's ok because everything will be fine. Rushing. Rushing to the hospital. What was wrong with me? Whatever it was, is must have been bad. People were talking to me, but I didn't hear it. I was too busy trying to understand what was going on. Though, the look on my mum's face. It said it all. Maybe I should've been worried. But it's ok because everything will be fine. The rushing stopped. Just my family and me. Yes, people were coming in and out, but no talking was required. A little girl in a big room. All on her own. Like a sleepover Only much lonelier, And without the comfort of friends with me. But it's ok because everything will be fine. I was finally out. Out of that big, lonely room. Out of that place where I was forced to have many needles. Everything was finally back to normal. Or so I thought. It was a feeling I couldn't control. I was shaking all over, but no one could see. It was not like being tired. or sick or hurt. It was nothing like you will ever know But its ok because everything will be fine. Yet 7 years later, I'm still not fine. It might seem like it. But maybe I'm just masking the truth. Because I'm still that little girl, With fear and confusion whizzing around in her mind. Not knowing when the bad feelings will hit. May 24th 2018. Just a girl with a chronic illness, But it's ok because everything will be fine.
The pain is so bad we can't describe it, Try to put it into words, Tums out we can't even write. Try to take a moment to process everything. But all that comes into our brains is this pain. This pain. This pain we can't even contain, Because every time we try to hold it, It comes flooding over And everyone can see. We are so weak that we can't even hide. Bottle up our emotions, But they keep on rising Putting pressure on the seal until it's unwinding. And then we collapse. Defeated. Our walls broken down. Fallen. Completely useless. So what's the point in even trying If we know we're gonna' lose. Why do we keep on fighting? Survival is in our blood. It's in our ONA. And every day we question it, Yet it still reigns. Holding itself against that pain. That pain. That pain that makes us so weak Makes us stronger Knowing where our bottom is, Our lowest of lows. It seems impossible, Yet our survival still shows. For I am here now Proof, right in front of you. I have seen the battle front with my own two eyes. I am yet to live my lowest of lows and my highest of highs. But when they do come, I will survive. I will not let that pain destroy me, Like so many who have taken their lives. And you! You will not take away that pain, Letting it win, Laughing and slapping you in the face. You will survive. And when you reach the top, You will look down, And you will remember that pain. That pain. The blood. The sweat. The tears. The struggle. You will remember, And you will be grateful. Because all that you went through was for This. Moment.

Depression's best friend is anxiety, another louder voice, One in five Australians can hear it, But they don't feel part of a group, They feel all alone. To the people that hear these voices loudest Death is escape fantasy, To cure themselves of the screaming voices, That others cannot see or hear But this fantasy is terrible, So not many choose it, For it ruins the lives of thousands Every single year But still each year, 2,375 Australians make this fantasy a reality, And leave those closest to them With their screaming voices. But these terrible voices do have a weakness, It's our own voices, We can use them to poison the poison inside of us, To never bother us again.

SE learnt how to play rhythmically and technically with ideas in metaphors and similes as a part of their Poetry Unit in English in term two, They were privileged to have Internationally renowned poet Luka Lesson come to give a demonstration to them and the rest of Year 8, He recited humorous and heart wrenching poems about his grandmother, Greek mythology, social media, medicine and his contemporary view of war, This enabled SE to understand how poetry continued to be a contemporary form of story-telling in our world, It enabled them to learn how poetry was intrinsically linked to chart topping musicians, bloggers and You tubers, SE were privileged to have workshops with Luka Lesson to continue to develop their craft While Luka is based in Byron Bay the students used modem technology to be prompted in one hour sessions with the poet An example:
Mirror I am a mirror I reflect who you are I sometimes appear beautiful I mostly appear ugly - so you think I am fragile If you break me it's bad luck I remind you if you're worthy or not I can shatter easily, so handle with care I tell you the truth even if it's hard to accept I regret showing you your imperfections I wonder if you weren't aware of your insecurities If you would have more confidence in yourself I fear everyone will be afraid of their reflection I'm sorry that it's all my fault But you're too addicted to perfection So, you come back, again and again Each time your hatred for yourself growing stronger

Throughout the year, BF has immersed themselves in the College value of Community with Diversity, Students have investigated their heritage and the range of diverse cultural backgrounds amongst our group. BF's classroom vine has grown over the year along with the students, having their own space to fill. These spaces show who they are and have been filled with their history, their achievements and goals for their future, showing them from young children to the young adults they are today. They have delved into the different cultural backgrounds amongst our group and how that has shaped each of them as individuals. Each term they have added new goals to help focus on what lies ahead and to be the best student and person they can be. As the year ends, the vine now shows their Year B journey and how they have grown, both as individuals and as a supportive group. The BF vine has grown throughout the year and shows the ideas of a diverse community within our class. Throughout term two, we found out more about our cultural background and ancestry. Flags showing our background and ancestry have been hung on the vine, along with our term two goals. I learnt that many people in the class have more than two countries that they/their parents come from.
Christina Quan Learning about everyone's backgrounds made me realise how diverse our classroom culture is. I learnt that I had heritage from a lot of different places. I had ancestors from places I expected such as England and Scotland, but also from unexpected ones, like Italy. The vine in our classroom represents the progress of our learning. The goals that are represented as leaves along our vine are there to help guide us into making good choices and helping us strive to improve. They also help us challenge ourselves to get the most out of our learning.
Sam Bickett The vine in the back of our class shows the diverse community within our classroom. It helps us to develop a better understanding of our classmates, and students get to know each other better. Every time someone walks into our classroom they always notice our colourful vine and take some time to look at it.

We're not quite sure how, or even why, but there's always been a jigsaw set up on a table in the 7A homeroom, We've completed about six different puzzles during the year. For some of us, it's been a relaxing way to start the day, or escape from a chilly recess or lunch! Putting jigsaw pieces together got us thinking about connecting ... and being connected. This is what has inspired our 7A 2018 Pegasus page, We believe helping people to feel connected with a group is important. One of the ways we connect in 7A is our weekly Mentor Challenge, The Panckridge I Fyffe (Ingwersen) I Dong (Tong) Challenge has been a highlight for us. There have been challenges involving bouncing table tennis balls into cups, spelling and number recall challenges along with plenty of sporting challenges including throwing frisbees at the flag pole, kicking soccer balls and shooting baskets. The mentor challenges happen every Wednesday morning in Homeroom Each week there is a winner but there's always plenty of support and encouragement for each team, At the time of writing, late in Term 3, the Fyffe team has a slight lead with eight wins, just ahead of Panckridge's mentor group on seven with Dong/Tong not far behind on six wins. Feeling connected helps people feel important and valued in their group. We all have a role to play in ensuring that everyone feels valued. We like the following sentences ... • A champion team works better than a team of champions • Being selfless helps people be connected as you're not thinking of yourself, you're thinking of someone else • There is no I in team • If you don't have all the parts of the chain linked together,
you don't have a chain that's working • To complete a puzzle you need all the different parts joined together

In Term 2, Year 7 students were set a task to interview their parents about what books they read when they were 13 years old. Students were then asked to read the book and present a creative response to it. Books ranged all the way from Judy Blume and Nancy Drew, to Johnston Livingstone's 'Seagull' and 'James and the Giant Peach'. This was the Shared Reading Project (SRP). The range of responses and creative representations was fantastic. Some people built a diorama, some people baked cupcakes, and some even created images related to their books. The culmination of all of this was a night where the projects were showcased in the Middle School Library. It was a great experience and we all took something from it. Feedback from the Year 7 students was very positive with many students stating their love for the annual project, "It was good to read a book that our parents read" said Mia from 78. "I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it was a good learning curve" stated Zak, also from 78. "It was different from what we had done before. It was interesting. We had lots of time to do it. I like how we did a visual representation of how the book is and was and will be." said Rodeen in 70. It's clear many Year 7 students took something valuable out of this experience. Over the next two weeks, everyone's projects were displayed in the Library for the other year levels to view. The primary students loved playing the games and seeing what we came up with for our project. The Year 6s went away with ideas and thoughts on what they could do for their own project next year. It was a great experience for everyone involved as it expanded our horizon and gave us an insight on what our parents enjoyed doing. We wish the future Year 7s luck and hope that this project continues for many years to come.

Marysville Revisited The bushfires, which swept across Victoria in February 2009, were the most devastating in Australia's recorded history and decimated townships including Marysville and Kinglake, Knowledge of the weather at the time demonstrated that the combination of high temperatures, strong winds and extremely dry conditions produced the worst fire conditions on record. Homes were completely destroyed and a number of people lost their lives at the time of the fires. We were privileged to be able to stay at Camp Marysville, a constructed village to offer support for the victims of the fire in 2009, but now used as an Outdoor Education setting. We were able to learn about the history of the area and recognised the devastation but can now enjoy the challenges and the activities provided, We appreciated the opportunity to hear firsthand about the devastation; from a speaker who had lost his home and all his possessions. He showed us images that were realistically able to portray the damage and the reality of the aftermath. A visit to the local museum also had a profound effect on our understanding of what damage was created and the intensity of the heat. The molten remains of farm machinery and glass and the twisted metal remains of objects showed us how intense the heat was at the time of the fires. Photographic images of the township and the charred remains of the buildings were very confronting. Marysville was a beautiful town and the rebuilding shows the courage of the people who live there now. Our camp was great fun, We received a warm welcome from the staff and enjoyed a wide range of activities. Camping out under the stars involved setting up tents, cooking in the dark and trying to ensure we kept warm. Canoeing was a great activity as we learned to paddle, challenge each other and sometimes capsize. Climbing a very high wooden structure pushed everyone to their limits and was very challenging, We also cycled, cooked, gardened and learned about environmental care and sustainability, Camp Marysville was a great experience for Year 7C

Physical Activity is an important part of our everyday schooling at The Geelong College. In 70 this year we have participated in many different activities to ensure we achieved our goal of 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Whether this was as simple as walking the dog at home or playing basketball during lunchtime, we always wanted to be on the move. According to Emily Blood physical activity is important to her "because it keeps me fit and healthy and I get a lot of adrenaline from it. It makes me want to keep doing sport and physical activity". Alexia Bennett says being physically active "keeps me feeling energetic and happy" We have enjoyed making new friends throughout the different APS Seasons. Being able to represent the College was a fantastic experience and we look forward to spending more time with our APS teams as we grow older. A special shout out to our Netballers and Hockey players for some fantastic overall results this year. During Physical Education our competitive juices continued to flow, as we took each drill and game very seriously, always trying to improve our personal and team skills. We worked incredibly hard throughout the Athletics Unit and many of us received fantastic standards and personal bests during the House Athletics Carnival. When we were not at school, many of us enjoyed undertaking team and individual sports with local clubs. Given our determined attitude, 70 students are sure to continue to strive for success and play with people across the broader community. Playing with local clubs and being involved with local organisations allowed us to mix with old friends and others from outside the College. As a class we were asked to help the Junior School students improve their skipping skills during their Jump Rope for Heart Day. We had a wonderful time during the 'Jump Off' day and were also able to showcase our skills to impress the younger students when we had an opportunity. Rachel Twaits really enjoyed helping; "I kept demonstrating how to do it and encouraged them to watch their co-ordination and keep in time".

National Reconciliation Week The 2018 theme for Reconciliation Week was "Don't keep history a mystery - Learn. Share. Grow". 7E saw this as an opportunity to discover more about Reconciliation Week for our Term 2 Assembly. Harriette Wright (48) opened with a beautifully spoken Acknowledgement of Country. Will Richards was our genial host throughout the assembly. Dani Budge and Jordie Lundy explained our presentation. The opening prayer, read by William Eggins, included points from 7E responses to two significant questions - Why is it important to respect other cultures? and What can we learn from other cultures? We used videos, images, notes, AFL connections and prayers to stimulate thought about Reconciliation Week. The 27 May (the anniversary of the 1967 referendum overwhelming YES vote) and 3 June (The Mabo High Court decision on Aboriginal land rights) are two very important milestones in the reconciliation journey. 2018 marks the ten-year anniversary of Kevin Rudd's apology (13 February 2008) to the Stolen Generations on behalf of the Australian Parliament. The AFL held the Indigenous Round in Round 11, named in honour of Sir Doug Nicholls who embodied the spirit of reconciliation. A short video explained how every AFL team wears a different indigenous-themed guernsey, designed to represent the stories of indigenous culture connected to each club. Max Franklin and Gianni Godfrey shared a scripture reading that linked to indigenous understanding of sacred place. The closing prayer, read by Baxter Pullin, encouraged kindness, respect and acceptance of fellow students, regardless of race, religion or cultural background.

The play's the thing 7F have been participating in Drama classes throughout the year. They have performed comedy skits, musical theatre and pantomime, with emphasis placed on their expressive skills and character development. They had opportunities to choose costumes and props to enhance their characters and performances and developed their collaboration skills to work with all members of the class under a variety of circumstances. The Junior School students enjoyed watching the comical shows 'Red Hot Cinders' (a twist on Cinderella) and 'Albert Laddin' (a twist on Aladdin).
Alice Claringbold 'I really enjoyed creating our own costumes. My favourite thing about Drama this year was the amazing games we could play and the games Mrs Claringbold facilitated. My role in the pantomime of Red Hot Cinders was one of the Ugly Step Sisters. The challenge I faced in drama is remembering my lines when I get on stage. I'm very happy with my experience in Drama. Thank you very much!'
Ted Middleton 'Drama so far this year has been a thrilling, exciting, enthralling and sometimes terrifying experience! Many skills have been learnt and the fun is endless. We have been given the challenge of re-creating famous Disney movies, and with the help of a script, turning them into over-the-top pantomimes. As a class, we have learnt all about staging, characters, voice projection and how to work as a team. I was in the pantomime, 'Red Hot Cinders' and two of my friends and I played the role of the fairy godmothers. We enjoyed finding funky costumes that were matching, of course! We learnt many engaging drama games including 'Space Jump' and 'Yes, You'. We also had to create a mini play that had to be very entertaining. Overall we have had a great term in drama.'
Sophie Walker 'Drama has by far been the best subject, doing fun games, and performances. Drama also has been good because we have an enthusiastic teacher. In Term 3, our class did two plays; Red Hot Cinders and Albert Laddin. We dressed up like crazy and performed for the Year Twos.'

@tgc_techtales ·we're rolling ... and ACTION!" These are the words that defined the start of our year as we began studying Film School. We studied filmmaking techniques and developed the skills required to use a variety of cameras, microphones and editing software. By the end of first term we had all earned our 'Directors Hat'. Filmmaking and digital technologies are important aspects of Year 6 because we've been learning how to communicate powerful messages to our audiences. Communication is an important skill in all subjects at school, and in all areas of life. We analysed TED Talks and were presented with the question: "What have I learnt that rocked my world?" From there, we wrote a personal and persuasive talk and turned it into a digital StoryClip to share with our audience. Some of us also decided to present our TEO-style talk to a live audience. It was a very challenging process and also very rewarding. Our most recent Inquiry unit, Out of This World, has taken us on a voyage to the stars. Which planet or moon will become the location of our first colony in space? We investigated this question, and many others, throughout the unit and created films, newspaper articles, models, quizzes and more to share our learning. Year 6 has been a fantastic experience and we are excited to see what 2019 will have in store for us! 6A - Oliver Bradshaw, Ditch Burke, Isabella Canty; Josh Edmonds, Poppy Flanagan, Matisse Higgins, Saul High, Jessica Hom, Xavier Ivisic, Lulu Joske, Keiran Lane, Charles Leahy; Lexi Mccann, Grace Morrissy; Loch/ann Novalija-Pacyga, Piper Parkhill, Jack Perry; Sophie Roderick, Hugh Ross, Zephyr Seignior, Baxter Thomson, Sophie Veenstra, Sophie Vorrath, Max Wheelahan. 6B - Ayat Aker, Chloe Aucote, Tiana Balazs, Luke Bird, Abby Bowyer, Tom Bums, Leo Coils, Archer Hanegraaf, Neil Harlapur, Curtis Ho, Will Ilsley; James Leahy; Jona Leake, Eilish Murphy; Phillipa Norris, Jack Sadler, Alec Saffioti, Claire Sherlock, Sophie Sossin, Millie Taylor, Thomas Teare, Joshua Whan, Campbell White, Ella Zele.

I like Maths because we get to really explore things and go deeper with our thinking. Maddie Koch
I like Design because I got to learn about machines and programming with Lego WeDo. Rose Jones
My favourite thing is Design. I get to work with all my friends in SA, 58 and SC. In first semester, we learnt about Cardboard Construction, Sewing, Lego We Do, Simple Machines, Hummmingbird, Arduino and Lego robotics. In second semester, we get to choose our own projects and work on them with our friends. George Cerni

In Design during second semester I have really enjoyed being able to choose which project you want to work on. My friends and I are working on a chain reaction machine. Gus Derham
I liked learning about robotics. You learn how to program the robot, and then you can create your own programs. laura McQuillan
The thing I have enjoyed most in Year 5 is sewing. I have learnt how to use a sewing machine. For my project I am making a light-up denim jacket. I have to make a circuit and get the LED globes to light up. Katie Wood
What I like in Year 5 is how we are always doing lots of different activities and making new friends. Java Lucas
I like being in Year 5 because I get to make really cool things like toys that light up. Matilda Hayes
In Maths we learn by working through investigations, playing games and doing hands on activities. We join the dots between all these experiences to build up a picture of how things work. Milly Johnson

The Year 4 Enviro program provides countless opportunities for our young people to connect with the natural world, to understand living systems and how to care for them. Using the rich themes of growing food; the interconnectedness of living things; the geography and history of 'our place' and our use of the planet's resources, teachers of the program engage our students in daily rigorous challenges and projects which incorporate traditional domains of English, Maths, Science, History and Geography. The students have visited many places including Serendip Sanctuary, Barwon River, the Venters' Farm, Ross George's farm, Healesville Sanctuary, the Drysdale Landfill and Mt Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre, These experiences provide opportunities for learning at many levels. Two significant themes emerged for this year's cohort as they engaged in their Enviro journey. Firstly, they have made an especially deep connection to their chosen places through their 'My Place' projects, After hearing many stories of the past; learning about the Wathaurong people; engaging with the stories of first contact and early settlement; meeting the story of William Buckley; and hearing first-hand from fifth generation farmers, the students wrote their own beautifully illustrated historical fictions of their place that covered at least 200 years. There is something special about the way that this project connected the hearts and minds of our young people to our town - its people, its places and its past

Darragh Maher, Kaitlin Russell, Ashley Lane
Secondly, it was our diverse and rich Enviro garden that has provided further opportunities for learning, For one project, named 'The Plot to Local Pizza and Salad Project', the students were put into groups and given twelve weeks to grow a pizza from the ground up - which they then shared on a lovely sunny April day as they regaled their parents with stories of their learning, One lesson learned was that growing food is more rewarding and not as easy supermarkets make it look! At every turn the garden is full of colour, movement and life. It is rare for schools to allow students to make change happen on the ground - but this is exactly what Year 4 students do in the Enviro garden, The students have worked to improve the spaces right through the garden. The Horseshoe Garden is more beautiful and functional; a bean maze has sprouted; the Murnong Project has begun; there are more places to sit and just 'be', Thanks to the hard work of this cohort, the Enviro garden is now more popular than ever with students from Years 5-8 who just want to sit and chat in a nice place at lunchtimes. Each day our young people do their work in a dynamic environment We believe that as they engage in their work, they are equipping themselves for the one definite constant of the future: change.

Debating Year 8 Debating Seven Year 8 students were this year's representatives of the Middle School for the Debating Association of Victoria (DAV) D grade debating competition at Geelong Grammar. The team competed against a range of schools from around the Geelong region with great success. The team faced challenging debates including their first debate where they successfully argued that 'The Olympics should expand to include non-sporting events.' With a first round win against Sacred Heart and best speaker awarded to Cecilia Powers; confidence grew. The second round required another tricky position where students argued that 'We should not prohibit gambling advertisements.' They were able to effectively defeat Kardinia International College 1. On this night we again had two successful best speakers; awarded to Andie Taylor and Evelyn Coorey. A late third round forfeit by Clonard College 2 saw the team sit undefeated on the ladder. Unfortunately, losses in the final two rounds meant that the team did not advance further than the local competition. A final best speaker was awarded in Round 4 to the team's third speaker, Oscar Dowling. Students involved in the D Grade competition worked tirelessly throughout Term 2 and Term 3 to research and prepare their debates. All members of the team are to be congratulated on their efforts and they are wished the best of luck as they continue in the Year 9 competition next year.
Junior Debating At the end of Term 3, twenty-two Year 7 and Year 8 students began the DAV Junior Secondary Program for beginning students. The program began on the 20th September and continued into Term 4 until 8th November. An Introductory Training night commenced the program which introduced students to the art of persuasion and an examination of how debates work. Three rounds of debates followed with the final night offering students an extended adjudication allowing extra time for feedback to help students consolidate their skills. The four teams were excellent ambassadors for the school and we enjoyed being hosted by Clonard College.

Landscapes of Change within Campbell House 'If there was no change a caterpillar could not become a butterfly'.
For many of us Campbell House has always been a butterfly, inquisitive, social, brilliant and bright. Aligned to our Vision for Learning, we strive to create learning environments to ensure our young people learn to become independent, global citizens and understand the fundamental skill of 21st Century education, learning how to learn. If you have driven past Campbell House in recent months you will be forgiven for thinking that our butterfly is well and truly encapsulated inside a cocoon, especially in the beginning phases, where destruction seemed to prevail over beauty. Over the months our building site has changed and evolved. The Multi-Purpose building, Wayapeerree is set for completion, with construction of the main school buildings to begin Term 1, 2019. As a school, through our Reggio Emilia approach to education, we have used the opportunity of the Redevelopment to investigate change through a whole school project. This has not only included the students being learners and researchers but also our teachers. I have been privileged to be a part of children and teachers learning together, embracing our Landscapes of Change; the title of our whole school learning project. Linked to our strategic plan the project
aims to build a learning culture and academic success, broaden experiences for our students, enhance our own capacity and strengthen our community. Children past and present have been collaborative contributors, reflecting on our future through wondrous ways. The children have all explored the question What is change? to support our thinking, feelings and understanding of the noticeable changes in our school environment: 'It will be the same school; it will just look different'

'Change is necessary to improve things' Fred Year 3
'When you change you can help make someone else think about the why. You can kind of help other people think of a different perspective.' Madi Year 3
Campbell House is certainly going through exciting change for our future, creating an environment to meet the needs of our learners well into the 21st Century. Our rich foundations ensure our children will grow, symbolic of the butterflies who have flown before them. Campbell House will continue to protagonise, respect our past and honour our future; in the words of Loris Malaguuzzi the founder of the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy, 'Owned by our Children Forever'

Landscapes of Change - MINDcraft As part of our whole school project on landscapes of change, Year 3 spent the year investigating change in many forms, After explorations of the changes that occur to our place, our people and our minds, the children settled on a project that combined their technological prowess with their wish to create a memory of Campbell House that reflects who they are and allowed them to collaborate effectively, Thus, the MINDcraft project was born. As teacher researchers we asked ourselves: How much do children know about knowledge building? What do children understand of collaboration as a knowledge building process? These questions led us to an investigation of knowledge building processes and the mind. The children's provisional theories highlighted their understanding of the mind as more than the physical. They discerned mindset from mentality and theorised about the mind as malleable and transformable. In doing so, they demonstrated their varied and complex experience of perception. They showed their understanding of the mind as an abstract concept that is connected to thinking, decision making, collaboration, knowledge building, focus, attention and compromise. The children were bewildered by the possibility of the mind and the brain as different entities and this formed part of our research as we delved deeper into the world of MINDcrafting.
Memory and Metacognition The children noticed a significant connection between the mind and memory and therefore began to consider not only the storage and retrieval of memory, but metacognition; thinking about thinking ... as important collaboration tools. They were fascinated by, and grappled with. the inner workings of the mind. It's a bit like a carbon copy - the memory is still there. so you still remember what you find, but you can also remember that and you can remember websites and things, and you can RE-research it and find out some MORE about it and then be like - oh no, I accidentally got that incorrect or I think differently now and then you can find out more and you can change it and then once you have found out that, you have two copies one that was wrong and one that was right and then THAT one could even be wrong and then you might make a third copy, and maybe after a year, you might have ten copies of it. a bit like a time line.

Collaboration The children embarked on the discovery of the complexity of true collaboration as they uncovered the importance of conversation in idea building, They discovered that without effective communication, their collaboration can only ever be surface level. Adding onto Ashaiya, not everyone will like what we do. Since there will be 30 people in one server, not everyone, there will be people who need to remember that their mind will need to cooperate. We just can't go off daydreaming and wandering off and building these other things that are way off topic, we have to control our minds, and also collaborate and also stay on topic whilst also having fun
Madi It is kinda like two minds think alike - I mean, one mind is better, oh, no I mean 30 minds are better than one mind.
Shayleigh
Knowledge Building Children also noted the content driven knowledge they could access through emerging technologies such as Minecraft. They discovered applications of the properties of materials to effectively problem solve, prove and disprove building theories and discussed the advantages that utilising gamified and technology driven tools would provide. Properties are like their characteristics, how they behave- like glass is transparent, and Jellyfish are translucent, and wood is brittle, steel is shiny, iron is strong, a sponge is absorbent, and plastic is ... well most plastic is waterproof
Jordan If you think about the Aboriginals, we could leam from them, because they start off with nothing and then they mine stone and you get inks, like ochres so maybe we could do that.
Fred In creative you can fly up over the land and you can get a different perspective of different places and you can glide down if you want to - a bird's eye view
Lachlan The children have proven effective communicators as they embarked on their endeavour to make themselves a permanent part of the history of the school. Their documentation will provide a context for the incoming class of 2019 to continue investigating the changes at Campbell House and build a memory of the pace they inhabit.

May the Force be with you The excitement was palpable as a letter was delivered to Year 2A students from the City of Greater Geelong. Students posed their wonderings "Maybe inside is an invite to Adventure Park" thought Charli. "I hope no one is in trouble" suggested Felix. After opening and reading the enclosed letter we discovered that The Geelong City Council had heard that throughout the course of term two, our class had been investigating simple machines and forces. As a result of developing our expertise through experiments around gravity and friction and the development of our design and building skills, The Geelong City Council had requested that the 2A students submit a design proposal for ride at a new theme park to open in Geelong in the next few years. The children set to work immediately researching and designing. Students used their knowledge of simple machines such as pulleys, levers, wheels, inclined planes and wedges to produce prototype rollercoasters, rotating rides and waterslides. Through our regular class meetings, a suggestion was made that we visit a theme park to observe, gather information and refine our designs further, so off to Lego Land we went. The children were in awe as they strolled through an entire replica model of Melbourne City complete with Southern Star Ferris Wheel, Luna Park, the MCG and Eureka Tower. We were also extremely fortunate to attend a session to develop our understanding of how cogs and gears work. Students left this workshop as experts ready to perfect their models back at school. To further enhance our designs the year two students engaged the assistance and advice of the year five students who acted as consultants giving us feedback and suggestions in ways we could refine and further develop our prototypes. The students were eager to share their learning with their parents and the wider school community, so a decision to hold an expo presenting their proposals and models was made. It was wonderful to see the children describing their learning with the visitors who attended; all hoping their model will be selected for the new theme park.

Throughout our first unit we delved into the question "What makes the body work?" - This created many theories If you didn't have your brain your bones don't move. Your brain gives a message to make everything move.
Lexi All the 6 systems in your body help you stay alive.
Audrey If you didn't have bones, you wouldn't be able to move. Everything in our body works together
Will We used these conjectures to put together our big idea "The human body has many systems that work together" the children became researchers finding a field that interested them and putting their findings into a creative video. Our curiosity for the world around us shaped an exciting Science Unit. They built the pyramids with machines. They were simple machines that would have no power like they tie stuff on the wood and pull it around.
Archie When your car has no wheels it just slides down and when it hits a bump it stops. I wonder why7
Abbey When you push things down the ramp gravity takes over
Henry As scientists we observed, predicted, communicated and classified simple machines and forces finding that they can affect the movement and design of objects. Our project took a spin when the children received plans from Geelong City Council and as engineers were giving the task of designing and building a ride for a theme park Exploring the concept of change we looked back in time and as historians discovered the place where we live today reflects our past. We used an old school day and Johnstone Park to ignite curiosity and idea. It was different because now we do group work and connect with each other If we were in rows we couldn't get our friends to help us.
Emily The biggest change is the learning in maths. In the olden days we just had to say the answer and we didn't have to write any of our thinking.

In Search of Change What are the causes of change over time? How is the place we live today a reflection of our past?
It was these 2 questions that provided the provocation for our Term 3 inquiry 'In Search of Change'. As a Year 2 group, we thought we might find some clues about change at one of our local parks as some children agreed that parks had old statues that might help us. We settled on Johnstone Park in central Geelong to do some action research! It was at the State Government Building that sits adjacent
to Johnstone Park where we started to learn about change over time dating all the way back to a time when the local aboriginals were the only humans who occupied the land here in Geelong. In the foyer we found the most amazing historical mural which is made of tiny, coloured glass mosaic tiles, The children wondered about the variety of scenes presented to them from the early farming beginnings of Geelong to the gold rush, the war years and through to the computer age that we live in today. At school, the children studied some old photos of Johnstone Park and learned that it began as a junkyard swamp where people from local businesses dumped their rubbish; including local butchers who dumped their offal there. Imagine the smell! The park originally had a fence al\ the way around it. It was not the beautiful park that it is today. In this picture, Ramsay is holding an old photo of Johnstone Park which was taken around the 1950s. We were trying to find the exact spot that the person who took the photo would have been standing in and then looking for what had changed. After 3 excursions to Johnstone Park we reflected upon all the change that had occurred, The group concurred that change comes about because as humans we are in constant search of and wanting to create new things to make our lives easier, As a result, some things become no longer useful but some things stand the test of time - like the humble nail!

Landscapes of Change Our Year 1 Minibeast Inquiry continued seamlessly from Term 2 into Term 3 as we began to explore our Junior School wide learning project titled 'Landscapes of Change', The Junior School redevelopment provided the ideal provocation for the project As a Year 1 community we focussed on the changing landscape directly outside our classroom windows. We chose to explore the garden as an environment of change and directly linked it with the Minibeast Project we had developed in Term 2, Term 3 began by unpacking the big questions 'What is a landscape?' and 'What is change?' The children shared their ideas about change and landscapes in class meetings: Change is like changing your clothes.
Grace I think change is when you break something and build something new
Sachi You get change in your lunch order when you use money;
Deyar I think of change as a force
Julien Change is like day to night.
Cedar Change could be anything like the way the whiteboard marker changes the landscape of the whiteboard.
Hamish Minibeasts change from an egg to larva to caterpillar to a butterfly;
Kate A landscape is an area, lands of a hill, plains.

Finn In Iraq the landscape is very flat and there are a lot of tall buildings.

We shared a favourite picture story book Florette by Anna Walker and discussed how one little girl, Mae was able to change the landscape outside her window. Once there was a bleak and harsh city, Mae was miserable to move there. She missed her lush garden. She was bored and lonely so she got adventurous.
Julien
The story and their recount writing encouraged the children to think about their concrete courtyard and how they could transform the landscape into a green, colourful and welcoming space. Our passion to transform our Year 1 courtyard was born. So, off to Wombat Gully Plant Farm we went! At Wombat Gully Plant Farm, our Nursery Guide, Claire talked to us about plant growth from a seed to an adult plant and took us on a guided tour of the farm. We purchased succulents, fruit trees and a pot of colour each, to colour, 'green up' and transform our Year 1 courtyard space. A planting workshop followed with many Mums, Dads and Grandparents coming along to help us plant our treasures and beautify our learning and gathering space. The children wrote letters to Claire to thank her for her time and generosity in supporting our plans to beautify the courtyard. We walked to a local Post Office to purchase a stamp and post our very special letters. This was a great opportunity to link our mathematical learning about money to an authentic experience. At the end of term, the sun was shining, our pots of colour were blooming, our herb and vegies edible. Our courtyard landscape was a happy place for hungry children and minibeasts alike!

Talking About Change The idea of change has been a constant theme in Prep this year starting with the move from kinder to schooL Charlotte - When I was starting school I was scared but now I don't have to be because I have all these friends to play with Finn - I like playing outside and going down the pole. Angus - I'm looking forward to having fun and doing Assembly
We then started to notice some changes in our environment Ash - The seasons change, like in winter when the trees have no leaves and then in summer, spring and autumn the leaves change.
Thomas - School is changing because the construction is starting where the multi-purpose room and cubbies used to be Jensen - On the oval there is a new playground getting built.
We then started learning about science and noticed lots of different changes. Alek - Science is making experiments.
Jimmy - If you are making an experiment, you can make a robot with it. Christian - I design things at home. I got wires and I designed a real robot.
We did lots of science experiments that involved change, starting with planting bean seeds. Guy - I'm very excited for it to grow I noticed that it has grown and my bean is cracking.
Paz - There are roots growing out of it. That bit is getting darker. Evie - My bean seed has grown It has a little noodle down the bottom.
Next, we made lava lamps. Lucy - When I first saw it, the oil was on the bottom. Then when we finished making them the oil was on the top. The water and the food dye pushed the oil to the top. Ivy - When I tipped it upside down with the food dye in it and shook it, bubbles came and made it look like a bubble shower.
These experiments then led to the idea of turning ordinary things into extraordinary creations. Amelie - Ordinary means the same, extraordinary means weird. Billy - I could tum a box into a rocket. Ava - I could make instruments.
We are looking forward to noticing more changes in Prep A

Growing and Changing This year the Preps have been exploring the concept of change, In Term 1, our unit of inquiry was called, Special Times As I Grow And Change, During this investigation, the children discussed how they have grown and changed since they were a baby, Rhys - We are little and then we get bigger In the past I was afraid of kids I didn't know (Now) I'm not afraid of anyone I don't know I think now that I like change. Mrs Ogston - Our class has changed because we said good bye to Ophelia this term. Edward - (Growing up) means in the future you will be able to do more things. Tom - I was smaller when I was a baby and then I grew up. Huck - When I was a baby I couldn't go to Prep but now I can. Ava - I have grown and changed I used to say two foots but now I say two feet. My language has changed and is better Andre - I am growing and having more friends. Oliver - I started little and I couldn't count that far Change means you are growing up
Then in Term 2, the children examined how scientists look at change in our unit entitled, Looking Like A Scientist Hilton - Scientists look for changes. They can use stuff with cameras and then they can see what just happened Mason - Scientists do experiments, and they look for changes. The aqua beads were little then they got bigger Estella - Experiments change. We did the milk experiment. We put the dishwashing liquid in the dye and it went to the outside of the bowl. Mackenzie - Science is important because you have to work all day inventing robots. Dennis - The bean seed changed It changed into a plant.
Will - The lava lamps had oil and colour. When you shake the lava lamp the colours change. Hudson - When I had a go at shaking the lava lamp it went blue.
Our class changed again in Term 3 when we welcomed a new student. His name is Andy Buckle and he enjoys playing football like we do.

Exploring change - From Ordinary to Extraordinary! "Think left, and think right, and think low and think high. Oh the thinks you can think up if only you try· Dr Seuss
In Term 3, the children enjoyed the opportunity to experience activities which promoted investigation, critical thinking and tinkering. They investigated simple engineering processes, materials, tools and equipment to find a solution as to how discarded objects can be upcycled into something 'extraordinary'. The children used a range of technologies to generate, develop and record design ideas through describing, drawing and modelling. With support, they planned simple steps to complete their own projects. The children created extraordinary creatures and then planned and built their creature's habitats using upcycled materials.
116
Jasmine - Ordinary things can be turned upside down. If you look at things from different angles you can create something that's really astounding. Zara - If you have something ordinary to do you can make it something extraordinary by changing it. You need patience and your imagination Archie - Instead of throwing rubbish away you can recycle it and make it something new Niamh - Anything can be extraordinary if you just look at in in a new way and make some changes. Jennifer - If you use your imagination, you can turn ordinary things into something special. Thomas C - If you make a mistake with your design, you can always change your thinking. I changed my design a few times! Solomon - If you don't have the parts or pieces that you need to make something with, you can change your plan and design it again You need to think about what materials to use and what is available. Louella - If you make a mistake with your model, don't throw it out You could add more detail and think about how to improve it. Or, someone else like might like to use the parts that you don't need Milla - When you try to build something, never give up. Always keep trying. Sometimes, things can be extraordinary when you think very carefully and take your time. Hugo - Don't throw away loose parts because you could use them again and again Thomas J - I liked hot gluing the materials to make my creature. The wings looked just like my plan Christian - You can add things to your design to make it more extraordinary Rafael - I liked writing my extraordinary story I added lots of interesting words. Cooper - I drew a detailed plan to help me build my creature. Ryan - I learnt that some people think that certain things are useless, but if you think carefully you can transform it into something new and exciting.

After exploring our playground at the start of the year, a particular tree was found to be interesting to some of us, We read the story 'The Last Tree In The City', leading us to wonder about the importance of trees and the differences between them, We researched a variety of trees, we learnt what they need to be able to grow and survive. 'I have a tree, some ladders and some slides. If you keep going up, you reach the sky'
'The trees are our friends' 'All plants need food and water' 'The plants and tree's ears are inside their roots' Through our tree investigations, we visited the Botanic Gardens on two occasions, for a tour with our new friend 'Possum', She introduced us to many different plants and trees, including a huge tree that was over 150 years old, We visited Roraima display garden, where we wandered freely, drawing and photographing plants that captured our attention, At the start of our investigation we began reading 'The Magic Faraway Tree'. Children engaged with this story and the characters who lived In 'The Faraway Tree', We decided to create our own Faraway Tree out of papier mache to 'live' in our room. A design was drawn up and construction took place. All hands in to complete the job, This tree 'grew' big enough to climb up to the top and explore inside. To celebrate the completion of our own Faraway Tree, we enjoyed a special tea party at night. Early Learning 3A have been on a wonderful exploration during this project; learning through play. They have been able to test their theories, learn together, explore gardens in the community and let their imaginations take them on many adventures.

Reflecting Rainbows Colour, Light and Images You can slide down a rainbow Can we?
Throughout the year children have been fascinated with a rainbow that visits our room, The refraction of the light through the window, filtered through the mirror and beamed to the wall adds so much wonder and joy to our room Educators see this as an opportunity to closely observe the children and adopt a pedagogy of listening to understand what the children are telling us through their words, actions and 100 languages, Children's interest in the rainbows inspired us to explore a project on Reflecting Rainbows where we explored colour, light and images, Our rainbow project discussion began with the question What is a rainbow? Rainbows have lots of colours It has orange, yellow and purple and brown Colour - It is a rainbow - It looks like colours
With these ideas in mind, we explored rainbows through various mediums, including drawing, video, clay, light reflection though the projector and windows, photographs, puzzles, outdoor explorations and painting, In the next meeting, children turned their attention to the distinctive shape of a rainbow; It has a shape that goes like around The bits get bigger and bigger and bigger It is an arch - It needs to be all together to be a rainbow
118
With our knowledge of rainbows, we were ready to take our investigations further, asking the question Can we touch a rainbow? The children made connections in their thinking and learning by reflecting on what they had discovered in their investigations of rainbows, They decided that rainbows could not be touched because they were too fast, they cannot be picked up and it is not possible to catch them with a net The discussions then turned to the images of rainbows in stories and how you can slide down a rainbow Can we? In Early Learning, if children want to explore an idea, we support their research through their 100 languages to enrich their learning, Why can't we slide down a rainbow? As educators, we see this as an opportunity to explore, research and continue our learning, The building of a slideable rainbow is underway,

Buildings of Beauty This year children in EL4A have been curators of beauty. It was noticed that children were connecting over an appreciation of beautiful objects and arrangements of materials. Children would hunt out objects of potential beauty from around the environment and bring them out to adorn their building creations and arrange in aesthetically pleasing ways. These creations were visually stunning and appreciated by children and adults alike. They enhanced our environment and highlighted children's search for beauty in the world. Together we wondered,,, How do we make and change beauty? How does beauty change us and our experiences?
The redevelopment of our Junior School had begun, and we were seeing many changes happening around us,,. 'That's the problem ... it's the same school... it's just going to look different.' We must not get upset that it's changing because it's going to be very special.'
Looking at designs for the new school gave us hope and made us think about how we deal with the emotions attached to change. We observed children changing their own environment daily with an emphasis on the aesthetic and 'beautifying' their spaces, Children taught us that Beauty is important. Matilda prefigured that we could attempt to '... make beauty from nature,,,' when we were exploring the land at Dog Rocks, This acted as a provocation for children to suggest that we could make different buildings from natural materials and join them together to make a city. 'All of our ideas could be combined together.'
We could make a whole big city,'
Children knew from previous discussions that plans would need to be drawn first, and that the plans could be joined to create a 'City Plan'. This was an investigation into change processes and beauty .. , a creative collaboration, After collecting natural materials children invited family members to join them in the construction of their 'Building of Beauty'. In Term 4 we will be following the class' collaborative City Plan to create our huge 'City of Beauty' for play and exploration in our space ... the culmination of a truly beautiful project.

Transforming our Ideas The change around our school is something children recognised and commented on often. In keeping with our Reggio Emilia inspired lens, Junior School, as a collective, embarked on a combined project called 'Landscapes of Change', Schools change a lot. People come here, to this school and they change it. People can open the doors and walk in and as soon as they do, it is changed,Our school changes all the time, Everyday something small might happen and it changes the school, In Early Leaming 48, this project centred around the concept of transformation. Through discussions, children had told us that they knew change was diverse and it was hard to explain. They considered the word 'change' in multiple ways. Perspective and life experiences certainly played a role in children's responses. There was an overwhelming feeling that change was something that happened all the time and that, in fact, everything changes sooner or later. There was also the understanding that when things change around us it doesn't mean we change. The strength of separating the aesthetic from what is within came to the fore as did the difference between the tangible as opposed to the cognitive. Materials in the room provided children with multiple entry points to access and transform their designs, Here, children used machines, tools and equipment to assist them in transforming their written designs into three-dimensional objects. Prototypes were formulated, discussion took place about 'process' and soon production begun as we all transformed our own idea into 'real life'. You can draw something and then transform it. We can transform our ideas into something real, First you design it, then you make it real. Through this project we witnessed large amounts of team work, patience and co-operation We saw children take on the roles of helper, leader and supporter. We witnessed joy, excitement and shared pleasure when friends experienced success. We heard encouragement, the giving of advice and the sharing of compliments,

Senior School Music The Senior School Music Program has as one of its goals to cater for the broadest range of student interests and proficiencies, a goal which we have achieved with outstanding success this year. The class music program offers students at all levels the opportunity to study Music as an elective, with a focus on developing ensemble performance and musicianship skills. Composition of original pieces is a growing component of the class program and is particularly important in the VET Music course as students can use these pieces in their final, externally-assessed performance in Year 12. The recording facilities within the Humble Centre continue to be updated and both ensembles and soloists have recorded performances during the year, providing valuable feedback for both students, teachers and conductors. The extensive co-curricular program included a range of vocal and instrumental groups, large and small, with regular weekly rehearsals taking place before and after school. There has been a great sense of camaraderie amongst the students, making the Humble Centre a warm and inviting place in which to rehearse and perform. The students are to be congratulated on their commitment to attending rehearsals out of school hours and to the wide range of performances presented through the year. In addition to the regular Music Evenings held each term, featuring a wide range of class ensembles and soloists, there were a number of significant other performances and activities in and out of the school:
122
• The Stage Band, Jazz Ensemble, Pegasus Singers and Vocal Ensemble participated in the 'Generations in Jazz' Festival held in Mt Gambier and gave excellent performances, This annual event, held over a weekend in May, allows ensembles to gain valuable feedback from experienced adjudicators and hear performances from other school ensembles. The evening concerts, featuring visiting Australian and international guest artists, are exceptional, world-class events that are long-remembered by the students, Special instrument-based workshops occur on the final day and provide unique first-hand insights into performance practices from the guest artists,
• House Music was held during Term 2 and adjudicated by Julie Walter, one of Geelong's most well-known vocalists. The competition featured a wide range of repertoire, particularly in the small group section, where we heard some confident and polished performances. Congratulations to the 2018 winners, McArthur House. • The annual Foundation Concert was held very early in Term 3 and the Concert Band, String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Stage Band and Choir worked very hard in a short rehearsal period to present a wide range of repertoire played at an excellent standard. Our Music Captain, An Trinh, gave a virtuosic performance in Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A minor" accompanied by the Symphony Orchestra, receiving a welldeserved standing ovation from the audience to conclude the evening. • The Senior School Concert Band travelled to the beautiful Hawthorn Town Hall in Term 3 to participate in the annual Victorian Schools' Music Festival. This long-running festival provides an opportunity for bands to perform three contrasting pieces selected from a prescribed list Their confident performance was rewarded with excellent feedback from the adjudicators as well as a "Gold" Award in the Intermediate Band category. • The Symphony Orchestra presented their annual joint concert in the Humble Centre with the Junior School String Orchestra in Term 3. After individual performances from each orchestra, the orchestras combined to play the unusuallytitled "A Little Joyous Springtime Can-Can March" which was specially arranged for the evening, The Senior students enjoy the opportunity to work with our youngest musicians and show them what can be achieved, • The Year 12 VET band performed in the Costa Theatre and at Beave's Bar in the city. Both the Year 11 and 12 VET bands shared the final concert held in the George Logie-Smith Auditorium in Term 3. As an important part of the music industry focus of VET, these concerts provide essential "reallife" performances, supported by professional sound and lighting technicians.

• The historic Wurlitzer Organ which lives in the Humble Centre was donated to the school by Alan Glover. Alan passed away earlier this year and a major recording project featuring organist Brendan Lukin playing the Wurlitzer has been commenced to honour his legacy. This project, which is due for completion next year, also includes an interview and performance given by Alan in 2017 • 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.
The Senior School musicians have made an outstanding contribution to the musical life of the school and our Year 12 cohort, in particular, have been inspiring role models in all ensembles. Mark Irwin Director of Music

Middle School Music Middle School Instrumental Music The Middle School music buildings continue to offer every child the opportunity to perform music of all varieties. So many young people walk into the wonderful spaces to refine or create a song, instrumental piece, band chart or even a rap, and 2018 has proven to be one of the most successful years for this. The co-curricular ensembles involved 168 students and once again provided an extension of the classroom learning by offering students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the group process of mastering the performance skills of music. Many hours are spent honing skills for that 5-minute performance, and what amazing performance we witnessed in 2018. Ensembles such as the Barwon Concert Band, Swan Bay band, Moorabool, Otway and Balyang String Orchestras, Stage Band, Primary and Secondary Girls' and Boys Choirs' and many other smaller chamber ensembles and duets all created wonderful opportunities for students to participate. In these groups musical memories were made, strong friendships formed and exciting performances abounded. Highlights of the year included the House Music competition at the end of Term 2 where the four Houses performed songs from Disney classics, transporting the audience back to the movies and animations that are so famous. Our Primary Boys· Choir performed at the Junior School to a rousing reception. The Foundation Concert provided another highlight of the year for our ensembles. The choirs shared the theme of songs from 'Seussical: The Musical' and instrumental ensembles achieved great success.
126
Instrumental and choral students were fortunate to perform in the Large Ensemble and Chamber Music Evenings at the Keith Humble Centre this year. The audiences for these occasions were outstanding and we thank our parents and friends for their overwhelming support.
The Barwon Concert Band performed at the Victorian Schools Music Festival hosted by The Geelong College, whilst Middle School piano students were thrilled to play on the beautiful grand piano at the Keith Humble Centre in the Piano Recital in Term 3. Our music friends from Wesley College and Haileybury College visited us in Term 4 as part of their Western District Tour. The string ensemble and choir performed in the Robertson Hall for the Middle School students and we joined them in singing a song, which provided another real highlight. We have witnessed many solo and small group performances at Primary and Secondary assemblies, Parent Information Evenings, Informal Lunchtime concerts, Year Level Dinners, Chapel services, Christmas and Graduation Services. Also, many students have undertaken AMES practical and theoretical examinations this year, achieving excellent results. The year has continued to build considerable momentum for the Music Department. We are so blessed to have the staff willing and available to guide our students. A massive thank you must go to parents, family and friends for dropping off and collecting the students from our many rehearsals and performances and finally, congratulations go to our Middle School students who grant themselves the permission to perform and display such enthusiasm and commitment to their craft.

Middle School Class Music The music rooms of the Middle School again resounded with singing, rhythms, solfa, playing, improvising and composing this year. The Year 4s found their beat early, composing and performing rhythm pieces in Term 1. They then transferred these skills onto the recorder and began to improvise and compose for their 'Enviro Album' which was launched in Term 4. Ideas for songs flowed thick and fast, the result being catchy tunes about a variety of facets of their year in the beautiful Enviro area; trees, plants, the river, frogs and birds all expressed in the album. Year Ss began their exciting foray into orchestral instruments through the Allegro Program. For many, a year of consistent practice resulted in the rewarding ability to play their instrument in the Swan Bay Band. Continuing with their pentatonic work and note reading from Year 5, the Year 6 cohort explored keyboard music on tuned percussion and in the Room 11 keyboard lab. They sang and rapped their way through to their final performance unit, 'The Big Gig'. The instrumental experience continued in Year 7 with the Instrument Discovery Program giving another opportunity to explore the wonderful world of live music making. Year 7s also enjoyed a semester of singing, using Mixcraft, exploring song-craft and composing their own song in the 'Songwriter' Units. This knowledge of song structure was put to the test
by the Year 8 'Chartbuster' course as they prepared several well-known songs as a band with students covering the vocal, guitar, keys and percussion parts. A deeper exploration of musical structure was undertaken in the 'Chords 'n Boards' Unit where computer technology was used to record, re-mix and compose. As part of their music program many students were entertained with a performance by 'Adam Hall and the Velvet Players' in Term 3. The performance consisted of songs in the swing, blues and jazz styles which consolidated the class work of the Year 5 Allegro Program, the Year 6 'Big Gig' Unit and the Year 8 'Chartbusters' course. Connecting to the instrumental work of the Year 5 Allegro students, the band discussed and demonstrated improvisation techniques, call and response in music and scat singing. In keeping with the class music program, the performance was very hands-on and the students had the opportunity to explore their own skills in scat singing and improvisation with the band. Hopefully these musical experiences have inspired our young musicians to keep up their practice and continue with their music-making. Melinda Bell Class Music Coordinator

Junior School Music The Geelong College music program begins in Early Leaming, where students receive up to two 30 minute music lessons per week. The program's aim is to develop beat, pitch and the ability to respond creatively to music. From EL and throughout the Junior School the children mimic pitch during echo songs, learn short tunes by heart, move expressively to music, play the beat on a range of instruments and participate in lots of action and game songs. This year, Early Leaming Classes were visited by the Moorabool Orchestra from Middle School where the students were introduced to all the instruments from the string family. Early Leaming students will incorporate their musical learning into their end-of-year concerts, which are always a joy to behold. At this age, encouraging children to sing every day, wherever they are and whenever they can is the best thing we can do. So, if our EL families have witnessed their children singing in the car, in the bath, in bed at night, then know that they are doing important work, laying essential musical foundations to be nurtured and embraced. This year has been a fulfilling one for all, 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 fortnight staff members have enjoyed the performances at assembly, solo instrumental items to music performances 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 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 'A Little Joyous Springtime Can-Can March'.
The Mini Singers and Singing Sensations choirs rehearse every Friday morning and have great fun with some choir games, singing and movement activities. They shared their beautiful voices and choreography with audiences in several performances throughout the year. 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 3, featured songs from around the world including Japan, Africa and America, concluding with the final song 'Can You Dig It' which displayed their own choreography and instrumental skills, which was warmly received. • Year 3 Instrumental Evening in Term 3, featuring solo and group performances by instrumental students together with staff items. The Marimba Band involves interested Year 3 students who rehearsed during a lunchtime and gave some performances at assembly and also at the Year 3 Concert during 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. Meegan Baker Performance Coordinator, Music Teacher 1-3

Cricket For the First XI Cricket team, the results this summer didn't go our way (including two washouts when in winning positions), but the boys persevered with great determination and effort, coming tantalisingly close in many of our games. The development and improvement achieved by the whole squad was a particular highlight, including the First XI debuts of seven Year 10 boys and a Year 8 in Liam Blackford, which indicates a very bright future for College cricket. Highlights from the season included achieving five run outs against St. Kevin's in the one-day format and the consistent summers from Jamie Morwood and Lachie Field. These included a fine 132 against Brighton Grammar by Lachie Field, with help from Ned Hicks on debut, for a 62 run last wicket partnership and Jamie Morwood taking 5/14 off 16 overs against Carey Grammar.
The 3rd Xis season was difficult with tight numbers, but they fielded a side each Saturday and performed to the best of their ability. They played against some very good opposition and consequently improved their individual cricket skills over the season. Best performance was Ben Searle with a wonderful 50 not out. In the midst of a tough season for the l0As due to so many year 10 boys playing 1st XI cricket, consistency was hard to maintain against quality opposition, but the group enjoyed playing cricket with their mates and refining their abilities along the way. The lOAs had a fantastic win against Geelong Grammar with a stellar performance from Ed Kol making 105. Ed had a very consistent summer with the bat, rightfully earning himself a selection in the 1st XL
The 2nd XI experienced a challenging season, similar to the 1st XI results-wise. However, they showed great enthusiasm and there were many excellent contributions and great improvement shown each week, which enabled several players to graduate to the 1st XL
The lOCs collected close victories against MGS and BGS in an exciting year for the boys. Led by James Norris, the lOCs had wonderful contributions from all players. Star performances include: Saj Baskaran's fantastic effort of 2-8, Will Jarman's 21 and Year 8 Noah Guida stepping up with 2 wickets, helping the team bowl out MGS for 53 and chasing it down with ease.
A brilliant batting display by Liam Duffy, scoring 54 in one match followed by 109 against Carey Grammar the next game, earned him a call-up to the 1st XI. The spearhead opening attack of Lachlan Jones and Alex Crowe put fear on batsmen's faces all season. But the highlight for the coaches from the season was Tyler McHarry, the captain of the 2nds , who never missed a training night and put the team before himself, being promoted to the 1st XI after a consistent year with bat and ball. An outstanding reward for effort.
A huge thank you to all the coaches who developed and supported their players, teams and the cricket program. The coaches' knowledge and guidance offered to all cricketers allowed the players to enjoy their cricket as well as progress their understanding and ability of the game. The coaches were Scott Lindsay, Greg Hansen, Stephen Anastasiu, Ian Sahlstrom, Christian Robertson, Daniel Fanning and Aaron Collins. Thanks also to Mr Carroll for his organisation throughout the 20172018 season of cricket. Fraser Locke

Trans-Tasman Cricket Quadrangular Tournament The Geelong College hosted the annual Trans-Tasman Cricket Quadrangular Tournament featuring Adelaide's Scotch College and two New Zealand schools, Scots College Wellington and St Andrew's College Christchurch. The four teams battled it out in three SO-over and two T20 matches. The first day had Geelong College playing St Andrew's and Scots playing Scotch. St Andrew's set us 227 to chase and after travelling well we were unable to maintain the run rate and fell 22 runs short. Scots had a comfortable win over Scotch. On the second day, St Andrew's and Scots had wins over Scotch and Geelong respectively. After winning both their opening rounds the two NZ schools played for the championship, while the Australian schools battled for 3rd and 4th. In a fluctuating match Scots were the premier SO-over team. Geelong College had a good win over Scotch Adelaide to finish 3rd. Individual honours for the SO-over competition went to Harrison Darling from St Andrew's who scored the most runs (193), and Geelong College's Lachlan Bartlett for the most wickets (11).
With temperatures set to reach 40 degrees on the Friday of T20 matches, the day started early at 8am. Geelong College played St. Andrews College, unfortunately falling short by 20 runs as they progressed to the final. In the other game Scotch Adelaide defeated Scots Wellington comfortably. The second round was delayed till late afternoon due to heat. On Mackie Oval in the consolation match between hosts Geelong College and Scots Wellington, Geelong College cruised to a 40-run win. In the big game on Main Oval, it was the fellow Australians who took the honours. The final T20 results were: Scotch College 1st, St Andrews 2nd, Geelong College 3rd and Scots 4th. A great day was had by all. I would like to thank the groundsmen for preparing wonderful wickets for us to play on, the boarding staff and parents who supplied meals for the players, coaching staff and spectators, and Mr. Carroll for organising everything.

Rowing The Geelong College Boat Club had a combined 210 students compete for the College across the Term 1 regatta season. It was a highly successful and enjoyable season with participation of students as young as Year 7 coxswains continuing all the way to Year 12. These strong numbers helped the College achieve more 1st, 2nd or 3rd placings in A Finals at the APS Heads of the River. The Girls rowing squad comprised three senior eights, six Year 10 fours, two Year 9 quads and five Year 9 fours. Each of our 16 crews raced each week with effort and determination and should be proud of their achievement to improve and learn from their experiences. The Girls 1st VIII had a competitive season, achieving their best race in the HOSG semi-final, where they narrowly missed (by a measly bow ball) being the first Geelong College crew to make the A final in this event in 7 years. The Girls 2nd VIII season showed significant improvement enabling them to assert their dominance over their competitors in the Head of River final where they took out first place in their best race of the season. In another stellar effort the Girls 2nd VIII won through to the HOSG A final, which did not proceed due to inclement weather, but they did claim a silver medal at the Victorian State Championships in the Schoolgirls Coxed VIII. Our mighty Girls 3rd VIII had a solid season shuffling between fours and eights to give them great experience, coming away with a well-earned 2nd place against GGS in a close race at the Head of River. They worked well together and made a number of A Finals. The depth in the junior girls' squad shows promise for the coming years. The Year 10 division 1 crew continued their winning streak at Head of River, while the Year 10 divisions 2 and 5 also had podium finishes. Impressively, almost every Year 9 crew claimed a top 2 placing at the Head of the River in their respective divisions.

Thank you to Mrs Lucy Pring for her amazing support of our girls regardless of their year level. The Boys rowing squad consisted of three senior eights, one senior four, three Year 10 eights and eight Year 9 quads. The Boys 1st VIII, had a fun, exciting, and extremely competitive season! Highlights included claiming bronze in the U21 Men's Coxed 8 at Vic State Championships, claiming a 3rd position at the seeding regatta and demonstrating effort and resilience to eventually place third in the A Final Head of the River. The Boys 2nd VIII was a light crew who had a number of excellent regattas including their silver medal at the Head of the Schoolboys in Ballarat. The 3rd VIII had a great season, showing great courage and strength, making the A final at Head of the River. The Senior four had a competitive season, with their first win occurring at the right time, in their Head of the River final. The Year 10 boys had a great season, showing great talent that is about to hit the senior program. The boys showed consistent effort across the three crews and rowed extremely well at the Head of the River. The Year 10 As claimed an excellent 4th in their A final. The Year 9s showed true College spirit against the other schools. With the 9As and 9Cs making the A final, this was a tremendous effort by all Year 9 crews with a highlight being the division 7 crew achieving their best race of the season beating home a number of crews in their final. Through many shared experiences such as rowing camp, pasta nights and regattas, we have matured together and created lasting friendships. The Captains are enormously proud of the dedication shown by our rowers and coxswains this year. The APS Head of the River was a sensational event that rewarded our rowers at the end of an enjoyable season.

It was an exciting time as they rowed past the College supporter marquee. Our parents and school peers contributed to the 15 A-Final placings achieved by the 30 crews that competed.
All College rowers and coxswains would like to thank Director of Rowing, Peter Blanchfield, and the supporting teachers, College Boatman Neil Fletcher, 1st VIII coaches Andrew Cleary and John Hill. Lastly, we need to thank The Rowing Parents' Support Group who made ensured everyone was well fed throughout the season.

Swimming Boys Swimming Initially, the thought of being captain of such an unusually lively group of boys was daunting. After having spent a wonderful season in the boys' team, I can say that it was more delightful than I anticipated. Over a period of several months of invigorating training and consistent effort, the 2018 Geelong College boys' swimming team pulled together to form a group of young men who represented the College in an outstanding manner. It should be noted that our swimmers did their best to eat as many of Geelong Grammar's lamingtons as they could before each race! Swimming is very different to other team sports in that it is a unique way of combining individual performances into a team effort without a baton to pass or a ball to throw. Although we spent most of the training sessions underwater, we still managed to find time to have a laugh and a chat with our mates. My teammates not only improved their athletic skills over the course of the season, but also improved as young men in general. Much of the time, training and competitions were rigorous and tiring, but when we touched our hands on the wall of the pool after having swum a 200-meter individual medley with the crowd cheering for us we remembered the sheer joy and spirit that the intensity of APS swimming has to offer. It was no small feat for the team to have achieved forty-eight PBs on the finals night at MSAC! This was an outstanding effort.
154
I must thank, on behalf of the entire team, the efforts and dedication of the loveable duo we know as our coaches, Dean A\chin and Shaun Webber. Their commitment and interest in our performance and enjoyment of swimming is second to none. They make us laugh and make us enjoy coming to the gruelling dark, early morning trainings. We also owe thanks to, Mr Taylor, Mrs Henning, Ms Fuller and the support staff who have made the season successful. APS swimming is not about glorifying one or two performances, as impressive as many of our boys were, but about the social aspect of the sport and building the team up to become something to remember. If there is one thing that each of us will take away from this year's swimming season besides the sting of chlorine in our eyes and the bather rash that many of us are still recovering from - it is the comradery that we developed and the improved fitness levels that each of us now has. Being the Boy's APS Swimming Captain has been a pleasure and a privilege that I hope my successor for the next APS swimming season enjoys and appreciates as much as I have. Benjamin Fraser

Girls Swimming The 2017/18 APS girls' swimming season ended on a high, with the APS Finals at MSAC at the end of Term 1. This night was a highlight, with many amazing swims and PBs recorded. While the APS Finals night was memorable, it was the hard work, dedication and little achievements throughout the season, which made it one to remember. Our season started with Saturday meets in Term 4 2017, which consisted of practice competitions and time trials, often against Geelong Grammar, which gave the girls a good benchmark of their times on which they could improve in the following year. Even in the first few meets, many girls improved their personal bests in all their events, being able to see week-to-week their hard work paying off in the water. Later in the 2018 season, 45 boys and girls from Years 7-12, headed to the Geelong Grammar pool at lunchtime to compete at the GISSA swimming championships. Although the competition was very tough, many swimmers came away with outstanding performances. We had many placings and records broken, however a highlight was when the Year 11/12 girls team broke the 200m Medley relay record by 2 seconds after narrowly missing out on the freestyle relay record earlier in the meet. We found GISSA to be a very good leadup to the APS swimming finals in Week 8 which marked the final swim of the season. The 28 girls on the team had dinner in the Dining Hall then headed to MSAC to compete against the other five APS schools. We had 20 top three places which is a phenomenal effort. Special mentions go to the Under 13 and Under 17 girls who placed in their relays demonstrating the depth of talent in those age groups. At the end of the night, although we did come 5th, we were able to record a hard-eamt victory over rivals Geelong Grammar, which was a credit to the team.
Following the APS finals, we had two swimmers selected to represent the APS in the inaugural Victorian School Associations Championships (VSAC), which was a massive honour for the girls and the Geelong College. Both were competing on behalf of the APS against nine other strong School Associations, both placing in their events, helping the APS Girls Representative team place 2nd overall. I would like to thank, on behalf of the team, the staff who made this season possible and enjoyable. A massive thank you to Mr Taylor for coordinating the team and making sure everything ran smoothly. Also thank you to our coaches, Dean Alchin, Shaun Webber and Mitch Norton for being there to push us to our best when we really needed it. Last, but not least, I'd like to thank Mrs Smith, Ms Henning, Mrs Oates, Ms Fuller and Mrs Porter for their support given to all the girls and encouraging us throughout the season. I wish all future Geelong College swimmers all the best for the promising seasons ahead.

Diving The 2018 diving season promised to see high quality diving from all divers, new and returning. Everyone worked hard towards their goals and had a very successful season. The older, experienced divers stepped up into a leadership role and proved to be fantastic role models to the newcomers. Diving is not an easy sport. It may not get the recognition that other summer sports receive, but the students who think it would be fun to launch off a 3-meter high springboard deserve acknowledgment. Diving takes a special type of athlete, and although it has many painful moments for the divers, it is a sport everyone enjoys watching. We had a rocky start to the season with a broken 1-meter board but that didn't stop the diving squad from continuing and everyone persistently gave new dives a go. As the season went on, in each Saturday competition, everyone improved their scores and perfected harder dives. A very tough selection of 10 boys and 10 girls to represent College at APS Finals was made. All divers performed exceptionally and made their coaches and peers proud. Special mentions go to Paddy Heyward for coming 4th in Under 16 A division, Tom Santalucia 2nd in Under 17 B division, Ruby Fourace winning the Under 14 B division and Ruby Ruggero 2nd in Under 168 division.
Thank you to Ms McGucken, Mrs Shier and Ms Ratcliffe, our teachers in charge, for the effort you put in each week to keep the competitions running smoothly. I would also like to thank our parents for their support over the seasons, showing genuine interest and encouraging us every step of the way.
Many thanks to our coaches who worked tirelessly to help us improve. George Niewman, who has been with us from Year z Nathan Veal, Courtney Cox and Grace Byrnes who joined us this year and taught us more than we thought was possible. They pushed us to our limits and managed to build enough confidence in each of us to learn new dives and get back up on the boards even when the dive didn't exactly go to plan.
Finally, I would like to thank all the divers who have been by my side since Year 7 The support we give each other is beyond amazing and the success we had would not have been possible without it. Diving was one of the highlights of my school life and this season was the perfect way to end it. I wish all the divers the best for seasons to come.

Tennis Boys Tennis The 1st tennis season was very enjoyable. Although many of the results were not ideal, the positive attitude of the boys made it a strong and competitive season. We recorded just one win against arch rivals Geelong Grammar, with 10 sets to 6. This was the major highlight of the season closely followed by the 9 sets to 7 loss to Wesley College at the famous Melbourne Park. Every single boy gave it their all, and I couldn't have been any prouder of them. The future of tennis at the College looks to be in safe hands for seasons to come with Zac Norton, Xavier Tressider, Max Booker and Noah GoodallWilson producing high quality tennis. Thanks go to our coach, Matt Hicks, whose positive attitude and dedication to the team allowed us to improve with every game. It was fair to say the 2nd team had a tough season. Nevertheless, this did not deter their spirit under the guidance of Nathan Mayes who provided some quality laughs on and off the court. The hard work and dedication of Will Burke saw him promoted into the team where he did not disappoint, winning the majority of his singles, regularly backed up by the efforts of Charlie Richardson and Tyler Wright.
The 5th boys had great team chemistry and played some quality tennis. Coached by Mr Conway, they produced some great games and earned a win due to the surprise talent of new student, Lesley Phillips, who had not picked up a tennis racquet before in his life. The 10As showed promising signs. They produced a few wins against some tough, competitive sides. Coached by Phil Rich, every player improved with each game thanks to his experience and knowledge. The 10Bs were a little more successful, coached by Mr Naylor. They had many tough wins with some competitive losses.
The 10Cs gave 100% effort through the season, led by Ms Hallows. They were unlucky not to get more wins under their belts. The players repeatedly in the best were Ned Evans and Patch Grace-Long, displaying their distinctive trick shots in many matches. The 9As had a tough season against some very strong opponents. Although the results were not perfect, the boys held their own and managed to impress all season. Thanks go to all coaches and Mrs Filling who spend a great deal of time in order for the tennis season to be a positive and enjoyable one. Tom Gough

Girls Tennis The 2017/2018 Geelong College girls' tennis season was a very exciting and rewarding one. Many tough training sessions and some long-fought Saturday matches paid off with high success across all teams. This year the First team comprised skilled players from Years 9 to 12 each bringing their own unique qualities to the team. In the end we finished 4th on the ladder with 6 wins and 2 losses. A key strength of the team that saw us winning against some of the strongest Melbourne schools was the evenness of all players. From number 1 through to 8 the team was solid and consistent. Each of the girls were supportive of one another and displayed great sportsmanship on Saturdays which is a wonderful reflection of our coach Evie Dominikovic. Evie helped each of us improve our game throughout the season but also ensured we enjoyed playing. Her 'never give up' attitude helped us put up a strong fight against some of our toughest opponents. Special thanks to my Vice- Captain, Ruby Pekin-Schlicht and fellow Year 12 Morgan Cullen who were both wonderful role models putting in 100% effort every training session and game. Well done to all the girls in Years 9, 10 and 11, I wish you good luck for the years to come and hope each season will be as enjoyable as this one. The 2nd girls, coached by the beloved Sue Anderson, had a very successful season with only one loss. Their steady efforts at training saw them consistently winning and improving both individually and as a team each week. Well done to the girls on a fantastic season and a massive thanks to their coach Sue for her positive encouragement and coaching. The 3rd Green team had many tough matches, but always worked hard and tried their best against some tough competitors. The girls were coached by Conner Jimmieson who saw them improve their skill and gameplay each week.
The 3rd Blue team showed amazing determination each week as they fought hard for sets against some of the strongest Melbourne schools. Mrs. Guillermina Ulloa coached with a positive attitude and never doubted the girls' ability. I commend both 3rd teams and their coaches for their outstanding wins and respectable losses that revealed the girls' great attitude and sportsmanship. The high skill of the Inter A team coached by Olivia Rich shows a very exciting and promising future for College tennis. The girls were positive and enthusiastic each training session and their eagerness to improve their tennis resulted in a remarkable season winning the majority of their matches. It was a delight to train with the girls and see their improvement from week to week. The Inter B team had some very close matches that proved their determination and the strength of all players in the team. They were coached by Emma Nixon whose encouragement helped them achieve many outstanding wins. The Inter Cs were coached by Laura Cayzer. They showed commitment and their positive attitude saw them winning against some of the toughest Melbourne schools. Congratulations to all the Inter girls on an exceptional season and good luck for the seasons to come. A massive thanks to Ms Filling who managed to organise the tennis season, come to every training session and deal with the difficult task of finding courts for training while Rankin field was being resurfaced. Her positive encouragement and 'every game counts' attitude was appreciated. The time and effort she puts in the tennis season does not go unnoticed. Thanks to the tennis parents support group led by David Blight and Brad Tressider for organising welcome evenings, family tennis day, holiday sessions and a very appreciated morning tea each week.

Waterpolo The 2018 Water Polo season has been a very successful one for all Senior and Junior teams. All girls' teams started in strong form in the first few weekends with some wins and a couple of draws. For the 1st Girls team, we began the season positively with a tight draw against Hai\eybury. In the next few games, the girls came away with a 14-0 win against Carey and 11-1 against Geelong Grammar. For the remainder of the season we remained at 3rd on the ladder which is the highest a Girls 1st team has made in a while. Our most challenging weekend was definitely the tough draw against Wesley and Caulfield, the two top teams in the APS competition. we sadly could not hold them and their powerful centre forwards. Although we were unable to secure a win for our final game at MSAC, the 1st Girls had a terrific season. The 2nd Girls team also had many strong performances with multiple team members rotating in and out of the 1st team, proving that College Girls' Water Polo has potential for very strong teams in the next few years. Thanks must go to Perry Gaylard and Grace Gaylard, our dedicated coaches for all their work to help us improve our skills and game play. The Year 9 Girls team had an awesome season. Under the eye of Liesel Fraser, the girls won the majority of their games. Notable mentions go to Josie Horne, Lou Campbell, Audrey Greer and Ruby Kennett. It's exciting for the coaches to see these girls developing their skills and improving in all areas of the game. Watching some of the matches played by these girls allowed the Senior girls to see the potential that will be coming through Girls Water Polo. A special mention must go to Jess Loftus and Lily Edwards for their selection in the APS Water Polo Representative team which defeated AGSV 7 goals to 3.

I would like to congratulate the two Year 10 Boys teams on a great season starting with a convincing five-goal win over Brighton Grammar with Ed Kol, Nick Symons and Baxter Kay all playing especially well. The boys continued their good form for the rest of the season, showing some serious fight in the later games. Overall, I feel these boys are well equipped and ready to take on the senior competition next year. The Senior Boys teams had a very successful and enjoyable season, with many highlights including the final round, where the 2nd Green team gave a nine-goal thrashing to rivals Geelong Grammar on home turf. The 2nd White boys gave their all, but were slightly under-manned each week. Despite this, the boys put in hard work and determination to win against Wesley 11-6. The 2nd Green team had a very successful season, losing only one game to a very strong Carey team, 6-Z This was a fight to the end at our only MSAC match this season. The Senior boys showed resilience and persistence in all their games; over the season the team scored a staggering total of 64 goals, with the top goal scorers being James Paterson with 11 goals and Charlie Batrouney with 22 goals. A big thank you goes to the boys· coaches Dean Alchin and Bruce Symons. and to Ms Vtting, the "mind" behind it all. This season was truly awesome, and it couldn't have been this good without the guidance of these people.

Golf On Friday the 24th of August, seven of our talented Geelong College students competed in the second annual GISSA Golf Event, held at the beautiful Curlewis Golf Club. Charlie Cox, Donovan Shier, Noah Guida, Lachlan Stephens, Jack Bone, Stirling Shier and Max Green joined forces to form two teams to represent the College. It was a team-based format, with all students
playing in a stableford competition. The best 3 scores from each school were combined to make a total team score, in which we finished 5th overall. Noah Guida was the standout, carding 34 points on a day which favoured high scoring, thanks to perfect weather conditions. This placed him 3rd overall, which was a terrific effort. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to meet other golfers from the Geelong region, whilst also getting the chance to play on one of the area's leading golf courses.

Equestrian The Equestrian team had a very successful 2018, with nine riders representing The Geelong College at state level and two at the Australian Nationals in October where we placed 4th (Georgie Batten) and 10th (Shayleigh Joblin) overall in our disciplines. Geelong College also had eight riders place overall in the Victorian lnterschool Series where the school finished 6th as a team. Congratulations to Ella Mccann, Elsie Callahan, Georgia Adams, Olivia Batten, Mimi Lockwood, Madison Rogers and Shayleigh Joblin for representing the school so well at State level. Thank you to our parents for being dedicated to and supportive of the team on their weekends, taking us to events and helping set up and volunteering at the events with setup, marshalling, penciling and other tasks to ensure the day ran smoothly. A very big thank you to Mr Kayler-Thomson for his ongoing encouragement as teacher in charge, helping students wherever needed; always happy to volunteer for a day, assisting with showjumping setup and team management or just coming along to provide moral support. We have been very lucky to have you! We had a wonderful year together as a team, becoming closer to riders in all year levels and working strongly as a team. Best of luck to all riders next year.

Shooting The Geelong College Shooting team, consisting of 12 members had an outstanding year competing throughout NSW and Victoria. These events involve over 350 students from many different schools producing a high standard of competition. The shooting team competed in Barrook, Noorat, Lilydale, Minyip, Swan Hill, Benalla and Warrnambool, allowing for a variety of different shooting scenarios, such as Field and Game and Down the Line, under strict guidance and safety standards. The TGC shooting team, in their newly introduced shooting vests, stood out from the rest of the schools. Team bonding and mateship was forged on the long bus trips as the boys got to know each other a little better. Although it is not an APS sport, the team enjoyed some outstanding performances and multiple high placings in competitions.
Charlie Richardson and Alex Crowe were standout shooters. They performed extremely well, displaying impressive form and talent. Nick Burke placed 3rd in Barrook, Tom Blakely and Hamish Boyd-Walsh also performed well at Swan Hill earning themselves 3rd place in their respective age groups. This year a number of new and junior students joined the team. They performed well, achieving consistent results at all their events. The future looks bright for the team. Huge thanks must go to our TIC of shooting Mr KaylerThomson and to Mr Cebergs for taking us to competitions in NSW and across Victoria. It would not be possible without both of you. Well done to all the boys who competed this year and all the best for 2019. Wi.11 Burke
Cross Country Boys Cross Country The boys' cross country team has grown massively, going from only two boys in 2016 to a Senior School team of 14 this year, with the entire squad being made up of over 30 runners across all year levels. It was extremely exciting to see so many students give it a go for the first time. Whether it was in preparation for the upcoming athletics season, a desire to try their hand at a new sport, or just a way to improve their fitness, all our participating athletes benefitted and saw remarkable improvements from start to finish. From gruelling 10 kilometre runs around Queens Park to high intensity interval training at Landy Field, our boys had the opportunity to greatly improve their distance running abilities during their Monday, Wednesday and Thursday training sessions. Cross country requires a kind of dedication and focus that is different to many other sports, involving many mental challenges in addition to physical ones, but the team tackled the challenge head-on, consistently giving their all in training and in competitions.

We had the chance to run against the other APS schools on many challenging, scenic courses from Geelong to Melbourne. Boys up to Year 10 participated in intermediate competition and Year 11 and 12 boys participated in senior competition. When there was no APS competition the team entered cross country relays for Athletics Victoria or continued their training on breakfast runs. These took place from parks on Eastern Beach to coastal trails in Torquay and gave us the opportunity to bond over breakfast following a long, challenging run.
These Saturday runs were one of my personal favourite parts of the season, and I hope the tradition continues. Under the terrific instruction of our coach, Graeme Watkins, as well as the expertise of our assistant coaches, Max Lazarus and Mark Boxer, all boys improved their standings in the APS competition as the season progressed. Perhaps the best examples of this were runners Myles Vagg, who moved up nearly 50 places in the APS intermediate rankings over the season and Zac Norton, who finished second at his final race, passing several fierce competitors. Our senior boys also showed promising improvements throughout the season, with athletes such as Rory Vagg and Lachie Wynter moving up dozens of positions throughout their debut season. Thanks are owed to all our coaches for their dedication and their ability to develop the impressive talent in our younger group of boys. If the success and progress of this year is anything to go by, I think it is safe to say that the CrossCountry team will only improve from here, and I am excited to see how it grows in the years to come. Our girls have already shown how well a small team can perform, and hopefully our boys in the coming years can aspire to similar success. Sam Barnes

Girls Cross Country The cross country season was exciting, enjoyable and successful with an overall 2nd placing, behind the talented Wesley College but in front of a very competitive Haileybury College, followed by Carey Grammar, PEGS and the Geelong Grammar School. The squad of 15 girls, from Years 7 - 12, consistently improved through the three rounds of Athletics Victoria Relays and six rounds of APS Cross Country running. It was great to have many new faces in our team and their commitment to training and competition contributed to our improved result, up from 4th last year. Relay highlights began in the first race at Jells Park, with the U16 girls claiming 3rd. It was an exciting and encouraging start to the season. The team of Skye Ellis, Cassidy Bradshaw, Mia Kemp and Ella Wilson went on to win the next round of Road Relays at Princes Park, Carlton, with great enthusiasm. Each runner continued to run beside and barrack for the next as the relay progressed! The U20 girls had a fantastic run with our fourth leg runner Olivia Richardson running down two runners to claim 3rd place. Ellie Barr, Pippi McDonald and Mimmi Balaam were the other team members. The six rounds of APS cross country were broken up with two breakfasts runs, one along the Barwon River and the other along the cliff tops of Bells Beach, followed by breakfast. It was a great way to make friendships across the school as all girls compete in one open field, and our Year 7 runners, Ella Kemp and Sophie Walker have quickly become valued squad members. We often had 3 or 4 runners in the top 10, from a field of 60 -100 girls each week, which is a great effort considering our relatively small squad.
The State Championships at Bundoora was a wonderful day. Five runners qualified for the Australian National Cross Country Championships, in Maleney Queensland. Skye Ellis came 4th, Cassidy Bradshaw, Olivia Richardson, and Mimmi Balaam all came 6th in their age groups, and Mia Kemp 9th in the U14 these girls all ran very well in Maleney, on a hilly course. Skye Eilis's 8th produced our best run of the day and helped Victoria secure a 2nd place in the U16 event. Other solid and impressive results throughout the APS season were from Ellie Barr and Pippi McDonald who have good pace and very strong finishes to their races. In her second season Jess Neville, along with Tara Boness, Holly Lazarus, Catherine Clarke, Neve Bourke, Charlotte Midgley and Pia Falk (all in their first year), just kept improving. For runners to keep improving and peak, injury-free at the end of the season requires expert coaching to develop endurance and speed along with knowledge of race day strategies. For this we thank our Senior Coach and TIC, Graeme Watkins, whose passion and commitment to this sport stretches decades, and facts, figures and times just keep rolling off his tongue. Mark Boxer provides Monday's motivation and our race day coaches Corina Van De Cluster and Max Lazarus do a fantastic job with organisation, warm-ups and race day timing, while keeping us somewhere between relaxed, pumped up and excited! We thank you for the fun, friendships and fitness that we have developed this season, and I will be following next year with interest, as these talented runners get closer to challenging Wesley for the Cup.

Softball The summer sports season was very successful for all softball teams. Everyone's hard work has clearly paid off and all players should be very proud of the results. Both the Girls" teams were undefeated. Under the coaching of Lynne Willmott and her daughter Emma, they had a very successful season with their last win against Geelong Grammar scoring 24 runs to 16. A great way to finish off the season especially since this softball season was the last for many dedicated softballers who had played since YearZ The Inter B/C team suffered many disruptions in the first part of the season, winning their only game against Yarra Valley 5-4 under the coaching of Lauren Heyward and Shannon Dunn. At the beginning of 2018, the Inter B/C became the Open 3rds team. Playing as the 3rds, the girls had a great season. Developing their skills under the guidance of Shannon, they started off the year with a striking win against PEGS of 20-5 runs to continue on undefeated. The Junior Bs coached by Tayla Supple won 6 of 9 games played. A fine achievement. The girls have clearly worked hard this season, developing their skills and learning all the ins and outs of the game. However, it has also been important to them that they enjoyed themselves while building friendships and learning to be a part of a team. Thank you to all coaches for their ongoing support and encouragement as well as their hard work, commitment and flexibility throughout the season. Everything they do is much appreciated. Also, a huge thank you to Ms Pelletier for all the work that she does behind the scenes in organising the girls for games and training sessions.

Badminton Boys Badminton The boys' 2017-2018 badminton season was nothing short of the exciting 10 weeks we were looking forward to at the start. With the addition of fresh talents in our new Year 9 and 10 boys, we knew the teams were going to be strong. This became more evident as every player demonstrated improvement in their skills and sportsmanship as the season progressed. The 2nds managed to grab their first and second wins against Geelong Grammar at the start of the season, on their ground and our home turf; the third time was their last game of the term - what a way to finish! Overall, the team won eight games with a single narrow loss against Wesley. I am extremely proud of how the players conducted themselves and bonded throughout the season. Some of the players had not played with each other before but became close teammates and friends, contributing to an unforgettable season. It was a similar story for the 3rd Green team. They managed to recover from two losses at the beginning of the season, turning it around with six wins in a row, all with dominating results. Having seen their skill development as the season progressed, I believe they'll be a force to be reckoned with next season.
Although the 3rd White team tried their hardest, it was difficult for them to match the more experienced players in their division. Being mostly new players, they managed to take on the challenge and achieved their first win a couple of weeks before the end of the season. Having tasted victory, it can only go up from here for the boys.
Overall, the boys' badminton season concluded with all teams achieving success. I would like to sincerely thank our coaches, George and Mim Lee, for the countless afternoons they spent giving us tips on how to improve, Monsieur Lairs for being the teacher in charge of badminton, and also the coaches for each team, as we could not have succeeded without everyone's combined efforts. I am proud of what the boys achieved; it has been an honour as the captain to see the progress of the players throughout the season, and I wish them the best of luck in their future badminton seasons.

Girls Badminton The girls' badminton 2017-2018 season was challenging and successful for the three teams. With an outstanding mix of new and experienced players, all teams displayed their strength on court, during trainings and games. All players showed great effort and improvement resulting in victories. Their determination and hard work were reflected in weekly training sessions and Saturday matches. This was mixed with tremendous support for each other and every player demonstrated an incredible sense of team spirit, no matter the result of the game itself. Initially, the 1st team struggled to adapt to the competitiveness of badminton due to their lack of experience and limited skills. Filled with determination, the girls polished their techniques and skills. After a very close game against Ivanhoe Grammar, the 1st girls decided to focus on the variety of their shots and footwork Following those rigorous trainings, we successfully defeated Ivanhoe. The win was the result of the effort that all players put into every shot and every step. Concluding the season with much team spirit, the 1st team was not fazed by the number of wins and losses, but focussed more on selfdevelopment. As the girls' captain, having watched a season full of endless laughter and support, I can honestly say that this was an unforgettable season.
I would like to thank the dedicated staff and coaches who organised everything and pushed us to achieve our full potential. Thank you, Madame Tymms and Ms Shen, for showing patience, supporting the girls to work harder during matches, and to Madame Chabant for being our constant supporter and never failing to make us laugh. Finally, I want to thank George Lee and Mim Lee who always reminded us to learn from each other. Overall, I have enjoyed every moment of training and playing badminton at College. I looked forward to every Saturday match, often seeking for more ways to challenge our players and repeatedly admiring the long way we all came throughout the season, regarding our skills and team spirit. Many thanks to all girls and coaches for this wonderful season and I hope that the remaining students have another great badminton season in 2018-2019.

The 2nd Girls had an exciting season with players aiming to enhance their skills during training sessions by challenging the 1st team. All the girls improved their shots and focused on teamwork in the doubles. The 3rd Girls began the season without a hitch even though they were not necessarily experienced. The new players quickly adapted to the skills needed and paid close attention during trainings. This was evident in the admirable results during their weekend games.

Surf League On Friday 23 Feb at Cosy Corner, Torquay, in fairly flat conditions, 30 enthusiastic students from Geelong College raced in events including 1km beach run, sprint, flags, beach relay, board race, board relay, board rescue, run swim run, Cameron relay and wade races against 10 other schools from Melbourne and surrounds. By the end of the day there were a lot of exhausted but happy faces as College took out the overall winning school, from Emmanuel College and Kardinia International College. Standout performances were Paddy Ryan in the Beach sprint, 1km run and Flags, Max Mauderer making the top 3 in all events, Archie Vernon winning the Swim, Board and Wade and combined teams taking out the Aqua Cameron, Board relays and Board rescue events.
In the girls, some memorable moments were: Ruby PekinSchlicht winning the Wade and Beach relay, Andie Taylor winning the Flags, Olivia Richardson wining the 1km run. Grace Harris won the Swim and Board and placing 2nd in the Wade and the girls combined with Libby Falkiner to win the Board Relay and Aqua Cameron. Special thanks to our two GAP students Fergus Thompson and Jack Henderson who officiated all day and Harriet Jennett and Noah Gray for their water safety. Without their help, the event would not go ahead. Thank you also to Mr Mark Cheatley and Mr Marcus Tyrell for stepping in at the last minute to look after the boys' team. The support of parents, stepping in to officiate or cheer on their children is always welcome. Well done all. Petrina Porter, TIC
Surfing On Monday May the 7th the TGC surf team made their way to Jan Jue for the annual Victorian Independent Schools' team surfing titles. The team was fresh off a rigorous tryouts and training day and was feeling well prepared to face some of the best surfing schools in the state. The day got off to a very close and exciting start with our girls' team (Minnie Vorrath, Andie Taylor, Lily Harris, Cielle Bouvier) just falling short in their semifinals to a very strong St Ignatius team. The girls showed lots of talent and potential and I'm sure this will hold the girls' team in good stead for many years to come. There were very high hopes for the mixed team (Fergus Willett, Ned Cox, Jackson Kay, Ned Evans, Spencer Kay, Fletcher Quinlan, Jye Bartley, Charlie Farrer and Cielle Bouvier) leading in as we won last year, but unfortunately it was not to be. We disappointingly bowed out in the semi-finals by the smallest of margins - under 1 point - with a couple of decisions not going our way. However, final year surfer Fergus Willett and young star Charlie Farrer put forward strong performances along with our female surfer Cielle Bouvier in her first year of competition. Overall the team had a fun day at the beach and we would all like to thank Mr Donovan and Mr Robbins for once again organising a great day. As this is my final year I would like to wish the team all the best for the future. I feel good knowing the team is in safe hands with some talented young surfers and a bright future ahead.

Netball The 2018 netball season got off to an inspiring start with interest from girls allowing us to fill a huge 17 teams, an exciting indication for the future of The Geelong College netball program. The girls were committed to ensuring the success of this season from the get-go, using training clinics during the holidays and on weekends to not only refine their netball skills but form important connections with their fellow teammates. There were highs and lows experienced by each team across the season, however the determination, physical and mental strength of the girls continued to persist. The 1st VII girls, coached by Damian Stephenson and assistant coach Laura Mclelland, had a fabulous season - possibly the best that the College has had for a long time. The dedication towards their off-season was shown through their on-court performance, testing every team with their ability to keep fighting and at times coming back from tough positions to win the majority of their games. The skills of the girls continued to develop throughout the season and this was highlighted in the thrilling, tightly contested Derby Day game against Geelong Grammar. The girls were commended for the team spirit demonstrated both on and off the court. It has been wonderful to see the Intermediate and Junior teams continue to develop under the support and wisdom of the talented TGC coaches. Girls within these teams identified big wins, thrilling Saturday games, bus trips to away games and weekly training sessions full of fitness and fun, as the highlights of their seasons. Through inclusiveness, encouragement, improvement and positivity, a joyful and welcoming environment was provided for all to participate in.
At the end of the season, Ruby Pekin-Schlicht, Alex Booker and Claire Morrison were nominated in the APS Representative netball team that played against the AGSV. Ruby was successful in her selection and we congratulate her and coach Ms Maisie Barlow on a 67 to 40 goal win. We are extremely grateful for Mrs Porter"s ongoing leadership as Head of Girls Sport and Teacher in Charge of netball. She worked tirelessly throughout the season to perform the huge job of ensuring the smooth coordination of all the teams and the umpires and also seamlessly organised training sessions, court sessions, workshops and game day fixtures. We would also like to thank Miss Barlow who filled in for Mrs Porter in Term 4. Her kindness and encouragement was much appreciated. The Geelong College also participated in the State Championships held at Kardinia this year. Although the teams did not progress to the next stage it was a wonderful opportunity to play local schools and be part of the wider netball program. It was great to see the younger teams play and support them through this day. We are very excited to see what this young talent can bring for years to come. We would also like to thank the wonderful contributions of the Parents Support Group this season. including the provision of morning teas, the co-ordination of the welcome evening and the endless work behind the scenes. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the Geelong College season, it has been a great team effort. We wish the future teams all the very best for the years to come.

Soccer Boys Soccer The Geelong College Boys Soccer season consisted of 4 teams this year: •
First XI playing in 3rd Division
•
10 Os 8Bs; and 7Bs
All the teams were very competitive this year, as shown by the close games and great results. The 7Bs had a solid year with six wins and just three losses. Tom Greer was a star performer for the team and led the 'best on ground' votes with seven votes in the nine games played. Thanks to their coach Joshua Skuza for a stellar effort in preparing the boys each week. The 8Bs also did a great job tallying six wins, three draws and just the one loss all season! A special mention must go to Isaac Jansz who polled seven 'best on ground' mentions out of nine games. Coach Kaillan Howard did a great job training the squad and improvement was made throughout the season. We look forward to seeing the boys at Senior School next year! The 10Os had a mixed year - but they improved over the course of the season and fought hard in every game. Usher Shao was the standout performer in the squad polling six 'best on grounds' over the season. The team came away with three wins, two draws and three loses for the season and are ready to capitalise on their improvement for next year. Congratulations to Mr Flanagan and his team.
180
The 3rds fielded a relatively young side made up of a fairly even number of Year lls, Year 10s and Year 9s. A special mention needs to be made of Sam Bickett - who although in Year 8 was able to come and play up at Senior level. He proved to be a real asset to the team! We started the season well, with the goal being to win more matches than we lost in the hope of moving up to Division 2 in 2019. We came away with six wins, two losses and a draw. The losses in most part were due to a depleted squad and we feel confident we can progress to Division 2 in 2019 and make an impact. The current squad are looking forward to staying together next year and really capitalising on our hard work this season. Standout performers for the year were Alex Anastassiou who was awarded Best and Fairest for the season, Will Thompson who received Team Player of the Season and Kai Daly who received the Coach's Award at the Winter Sports dinner. Thank you to Paul Dowling for being an amazing coach and helping each and every one of us improve as players throughout the season. Finally, thank you to Mr Galluccio for all his help with organising everything for us week in, week out - we really appreciate it! Ethan Parkhill

Girls Soccer The Geelong College girls' soccer kicked off with incredible potential and positivity across all four teams. There was no shortage of hard work and determination from the girls on the muddy, sticky pitches every bitter cold Saturday, and they all showed an inspiring passion for soccer. The Junior B side, under the keen eye of Mme Alexandra Zauli, enjoyed success as a consequence of their ability to read the game and persist as a team. There is no doubt this talented, developing side has significant potential. Their capabilities will hold them in good stead for the future and we wish them all luck. Our Inter Bs, who were fortunate to be coached by Sarah Leon, have illustrated a consistent desire to win and should be very pleased with their efforts and achievements. Although their results varied over the season, they created an atmosphere of inclusion and team spirit, and we expect to see many of them appearing in the 1st side in seasons ahead. The 3rd team coached by Bibi Holten and Connor Jimmieson proved themselves worthy across the season, with many tough matches bringing out their best efforts. Although suffering a number of draws, the girls were keen to further develop their skills whilst eager to enjoy and make the most of their season. The girls should be applauded for their improvement and teamwork.
The 1st side had a positive season. They were one of the most successful soccer teams the College has seen, despite being apprehensive about how the season would pan out after losing most of the team at the end of last season. Although skill was apparent, it was clear that teamwork shone through to stun the Melbourne sides, leaving them 'shell-shocked'. We would like to thank our coaches Mr Ken Prior and Mr Fabio D'Agostin who gave much time and effort to the 1st team this year and in previous seasons. Your commitment does not go unnoticed and we wish you well for future seasons. A huge thanks to all staff and coaches involved across both Boys and Girls Soccer, in particular TIC Mr Galluccio who coordinated the season and ensured it ran smoothly and Mr Kovacev and Mr Cheatley. Thank you to the many parents who consistently showed up despite the windy, frosty conditions. We would also like to thank every single player who has shown so much enthusiasm towards this incredible game, making it another memorable season of soccer at the College. Well-done girls!

Hockey Boys Hockey The 2018 1st Hockey Boys season included some heartstopping wins and some unbearable losses. The boys ended up with 3 wins, 5 losses and a draw against Scotch College. Most notable win went to the 2-1 win over St Kevin's, where they had the chance to equalize in the dying seconds, but our defence held strong and prevented them from doing so. The boys worked really hard during training to refine their skills to compete against quality opposition each weekend. Their hard training paid off in games, even though the results didn't always show it. A real positive of this season was having enough players to field two full teams, compared to last year where at least half of the team had to play two games in a row. The 2nd Boys had a mixed season winning 1 game, losing 6 games and drawing 3 games, with the majority of the boys getting a taste for senior hockey for the first time. After a couple games of getting used to the fast pace and higher pressure of senior hockey, the boys started to find their feet. As the season progressed everyone could see how much the 2nds boys had improved. They were now challenging the 1st boys when we played each other in practice matches.
184
The season wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of 1st coach Luke Hatton, for encourging the 1st boys to improve even more to get the best result possible. Mr Greg Smith is owed a massive thanks for taking a couple hours a week out of his hectic schedule to help the 2nd boys to develop their knowledge and understanding of hockey. The hockey season wouldn't have gone ahead without Marcus Tyrell. None of the players would have had any idea what to do without the precise organisation of Marcus. Finally, a massive thank you to the Hockey Parents Support group, in particular Simon Falkiner and Sarah Jennet. Without the Hockey parents support group there wouldn't be a firstclass morning tea for all teams after College home games. I have loved being the boys' hockey captain this year and wish all of the boys the best of luck for the seasons to come. Wi.UThacker

Girls Hockey Being Captain of Hockey wasn't just about leading 14 girls to kick the frost off the pitch at 8:30 on a Saturday morning, it was about nurturing, inspiring and supporting all year levels to ensure a strong hockey culture for years to come. Through improving our fitness levels, skills, self-belief and team spirit, our aim was for all teams to have a successful season. Success was measured not solely by the number of wins, but by personal and team improvements and the development of a positive culture. With these goals in mind the Senior School hockey students hosted a clinic for the juniors. After a fun and productive training session, we enjoyed pizza and an inspirational talk from Australian Hockey Olympian, Sarah Young. This opportunity to bond as a whole squad was an extremely well received initiative put forward by our dedicated parents support group. I hope it continues next season. The wisdom Sarah imparted, along with her encouragement, became a reference point for us in the weeks to follow. She placed great emphasis on the benefits of team bonding and the importance of getting to know teammates better on and off the pitch. It was rewarding to see the strategies effectively used against our skilled opponents on game day. This culminated in convincing triumphs over PEGS and Ivanhoe. The 2nd Girls also impressed in notable victories over Caufield and traditional rivals GGS and the Junior girls dominated their division with four wins and a draw. A highlight was coaching my old House Minerva, combined with Helicon, to win the Middle School House Hockey Tournament. It was a tightly contested match and their love for our sport shone through on the pitch. I went home assured that the future of hockey was in good hands.
Although as a whole the season was not without some tough losses, we did experience success, which should and can be, a far more familiar feeling. This year we had five players nominated in the APS team proving we can match the girls up the freeway. On behalf of Girls Hockey, a special thank you is owed to the Hockey Support Group and the parents, particularly for your delicious morning teas that are the talk of the APS. Thank you also to Marcus Tyrell and all the coaches for ensuring the season ran smoothly and for providing us with the opportunities to succeed. Finally, thank you to all players across all year levels, for embracing hockey with a smile. I hope that you all continue to play our sport brilliantly with the courage, perseverance and humour I will always remember from my time with you all. 'Stick' with it. Li.bby Falkiner

Football Energised by mateship, as well as our three core on-field values; contested ball, defensive pressure and tackling, the 1st XVIII and the Geelong College Football Program collectively, took to the field to beat schools with more teams, more players and arguably more talent. This year, rather than shying away from the difficult competition, we urged each other to challenge it and this was evident in many spiritual wins for all of our teams in 2018. At Senior School, the 1st XVIII won two games against Scotch College and Wesley College, and came agonisingly close in several others. Led again by much loved coach David 'Wojo' Wojcinski, the boys developed massively under his extensive guidance. His investment in developing our footballers was highlighted in a total of 36 players receiving the nod to represent the school at the highest level. Congratulations to Alex Crowe, Sam Wood, Mitch Taylor, Will Page, Zac Jackson and Charlie Lazzaro who were all invited to APS representative trials due to their consistent form. The 2nd XVIII won against Geelong Grammar in the derby and showed at various times their ball movement was undefendable. Year 11 student George Laurie captained the side, and was joined by Fergus Willett, Tanna Comben and Liam Duffy as some of the best players across the year. The 4ths were fabulous and Will Burke and Oliver Murphy formed a terrific duo alongside Will Hanrahan and Tyler McHarry through the wings. The lOAs lost Noah Lever and Charlie Lazzaro for most of the year due to senior selection but managed a spectacular victory against St Kevin's As in the middle of the season. Matt Thacker, Ned Evans and Sam Bain were key contributors, and probably unlucky not to be unleashed in the 1st XVIII. The Senior School footballers departing the College can rest easy knowing the program will be driven by determined young players like these.
The lOCs showed improvement through the season, and countless players pressed for As selection. Speaking to many Year 9 students, it was clear the introduction to Senior School football was initially daunting. However, from the preseason, where they gained experience training with some 1st XVIII players, right through to playing their first game on the main oval, belief grew for them, as they worked tirelessly to improve their skills. The 9A captain Liam Wylie led from the front, and Toby Conway proved he is going to be a major asset in the forward half. The 9Cs began their Senior School Football journey fittingly, starting with a great win early in the season and trained diligently through the season. At Middle School, training sessions matched what was being done on Noble Street. Whilst still having lots of fun, Year 7 and 8 students began developing the fundamentals which they will carry through their football careers. These skillsets were evident in their games, with the Year 8 teams winning a combined seven matches and the Year 7 teams also winning seven games. I appreciate the Geelong College football experience is different for everyone, but for many some of the fondest memories of their time at school will be based on this program. I encourage all footballers in 2019 and beyond to work hard, challenge each other to get better and enjoy the wins! Ned McHenry

Basketball Boys Basketball It was a fun year for the basketball boys of Geelong College, with many incredible coaches to help the teams reach their full potential. This year saw several new young and enthusiastic coaches added to the basketball program. They worked well with the players to develop their skills and understanding of the game. Unfortunately, not many of the teams were very successful in their seasons, but we all learned a lot and will strive for greater success in the future.
The Year 98, 108 and 10C teams all showed great improvement. The 108s won most of their matches, while the 10C and 98 teams managed at least one win each. The 98 team lost a couple of their players to the 1st team. Three senior teams were entered in the 2nd, 4th and 6th sections. I had the pleasure of working closely with the 4ths and 6ths and it was incredible to see the amazing chemistry the teams possessed from day one, always inclusive and doing their very best for the team. Their coaches took them under their wing with great joy. The 6ths had a tough season managing only one win, along with a hard-fought draw. Their efforts could not be questioned as they kept giving it their all at training and matches. The 4th team had a more successful season squaring the win-loss record including a draw. Often playing with limited numbers, they never gave up and showed improvement through the season.
190
The 1st team was an almost totally new team with only two players returning from the previous year. Fortunately, a few players new to College basketball came in and added some strength to the team. In the wise words of our principal Dr. Miller, we wanted to 'win with nobility and lose with grace' and that is exactly what we did. We got one chance to show our winning with nobility with one win over the season, but the boys set a great example for the younger basketballers at our school and I was blessed to be a part of it. I also need to thank our coordinator, Dale Carroll for making sure that we were always organised and doing the work behind the scenes to ensure we all had a great basketball season. Jax Cross

Girls Basketball The courts were overflowing this year with four girls basketball teams across three divisions: 1st team, 3rd Green, 3rd Blue and Inter B. All teams began the season with immense excitement and anticipation and looked forward to shooting their way to glory. Weekly training consisted of two sessions where the girls focussed on their ball skills, shooting technique and tight defence. This allowed all girls to get to know one another and learn from the players around them. The Inter-B team included a mix of Year 9 and 10s. They had a wicked season coming away with many close wins including a 27-26 victory over CCC White. The girls should be commended for these brilliant results as they showed great dedication to the game and much promise for the future. They were lucky to be coached by Jared Boyce whose years of experience and commitment to the game were passed on to them. The 3rd Blue team was a bubbly group of Year 12s. The girls worked hard during training to improve their game. They were challenged by very strong teams in the competition. Even though no games were won, a highlight of their season included their passionate coach Mr Al Smith who made each game worth fighting for despite the results.
The 1st team were fortunate to have iconic coach Steve Wiasak return to continue his coaching legacy. His knowledge and critical feedback made facing some vigorous and seamless Melbourne sides less daunting. As a result of his exhausting training sessions our strength as individuals and as a team grew. Although the girls came away with one win for the season we nevertheless improved our skill sets and basketball mentality. The team consisted of many versatile and passionate players. I would like to personally thank all the girls for making my last season of APS basketball an unforgettable one. A special thanks to Mr Dale Carroll who looked after all teams with care. My time as captain was an enjoyable learning experience. I will miss playing with the girls and I will not forget our basketball memories including the early mornings and long bus rides. I would like to congratulate all the girls on a great season and wish all the best for the younger generation of fresh basketballers.
Nyah Burrell
The 3rd Green team showed outstanding efforts in training and during their games. Some girls were new to the sport, but the more experienced members of the team guided them in the right direction, showing beautiful teamwork. The hard work and dedication allowed all girls to improve significantly on the court.

Snow Sports Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships
improvements from everyone in all disciplines. Charlotte and Madeleine finished 5th in the team events for Snowboard and Board X and qualified for the National Championships.
Geelong College was represented by 59 students from Prep to Year 12 at the 2018 Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships from 20 - 26 August. The College competed in 146 individual events and 38 team events, with 16 teams scoring overall points. We placed 6th in the co-educational secondary school category and 13th in the co-educational primary category, our best results ever!
Our secondary school teams took over mid-week with some exciting skiing and boarding. Jasper Atkinson (Year 8) placed 2nd in the Division 3 boys Moguls event and 5th in the Division 3 boys Slopestyle Ski. Rory Keams (Year 8) and Tyson Martin (Year 8) joined Jasper in the moguls and finished 5th, qualifying for the National Championships. College was well represented in both the boys and girls in Division 3, with plenty of skiers and boarders to watch in the coming years.
Oliver Naylor (Year 10) and Emerson Facer (Year 9) survived blowy conditions to finish 24th and 29th respectively at the Victorian Interschool Cross Country on Sunday 5 August. Cross Country is incredibly tough, but excellent cross training for all sports and we are hoping to have a larger representation in 2019. The week began with more than a foot of snow and fresh tracks. Unfortunately, our youngest skiers and boarders had limited visibility but that didn't stop us from recording some outstanding results and seeing some big improvements from last year. In Division 6 Daisy Biscan (Year 1) placed 28th in the Alpine GS in her first interschools race and Liam Jones (Year 2) made the final and finished 29th in the Ski X. Liam teamed up with Dominic Ho (Year 2) to finish in 10th place as a team scoring valuable points for College. In Division 5 Holly Keams was once again a stand out placing 13th in Alpine GS and 5th in Moguls to qualify for Nationals in both events. A fall at the start of the Ski X probably cost her a third nationals berth, but that is ski racing. Ashley Lane (Year 4), Leon Ho (Year 4) and Lilli Biscan (Year 4) also competed in Division 5.

Year 5 quartet Charlotte Koch, Madeleine Koch, Rose Jones and Michaela Payne and Year 6 trio Curtis Ho, Keiran Lane and Baxter Thomson led the charge in Division 4. With huge
Division 2 was incredibly strong this year with teams scoring in six events. Andy Deans (Year 9) stamped his authority on the snowboard in this Division winning the Snowboard, Board X and placing 2nd in the Slopestyle Board. As a bottom aged competitor Andy smashed the competition putting down the fastest times on each of his races and some pretty stylish tricks. He was joined by Emerson Facer (Year 9) who finished 6th in the Snowboard and 8th in the Board X and Hunter Locke to take the Championship trophy in the Snowboard teams and the silver in the Board X teams. These boys are off to Nationals with big expectations. Emerson and Andy also teamed up in the Slopestyle ski with Emerson finishing 6th and Andy 13th to grab the silver teams medal. In Ski X Emerson finished 5th and Andy 23rd to take the team to 5th, qualifying for Nationals in all these events. Emerson also finished 17th in the Alpine, missing out on a nationa\'s spot by two places. In the girls events Angelique Atkinson (Year 10) placed 7th and Olivia Howie (Year 10) placed 15th in the Division 2 girls Moguls both qualifying individually for nationals. The team of Angelique and Olivia along with Tara Keams (Year 10) also qualified for nationals. In the Division 2 girls Slopestyle Ski Angelique finished 10th and Alana Henderson (Year 10) finished

11th, both qualifying for nationals. Multiple teams in Alpine and Ski X were also a highlight in Division 2. Pia Falk led the Division 1 girls, finishing 13th in the Ski X to qualify individually for the National Championships. We had 2 girls' teams in both the Alpine and the Ski X and all performed very well. In the boys' Division 1 Will Hanrahan finished is final Interschools with good results in the Moguls, Ski X and Slopestyle, Jackson Willder in the Board X and Slopestyle Board and Lachie Congdon in the Board X.
Australian Interschool Snowsports Championships The Australian Interschool Snowsports Championships were held at Perisher from 5 - 9 September. Geelong College was represented by 8 skiers and snowboarders. The competition was strong and the weather temperamental, but the College team performed well finishing 9th with a score of 36 points in the Co-ed Secondary Schools Division and was the 3rd placed Victorian school. This was our best result since 2013 when we finished 7th with a score of 2Z so our best result ever. After dominating the Snowboard events at the Victorian titles, Year 9 student Andy Deans won a bronze medal in the Boarder X, with the team of Andy, Emerson Facer and Hunter Locke finishing 5th. These boys also did well in the Snowboard, finishing 4th. Andy also competed in the Slopestyle board finishing 19th. Andy and Emerson then swapped to skis and acquitted themselves very well placing 5th in the Ski X teams - the highest placed Victorian team, and 17th and 21st respectively in the Slopestyle Ski. Year 8 student Jasper Atkinson continued his excellent season with top 10 finishes in both Moguls and Slopestyle Ski. In the
Moguls Jasper placed 7th in a very competitive competition and joined with Rory Keams (Year 8) and Tyson Martin (Year 8) to finish 8th in the team's event. In the Slopestyle Ski Jasper placed 9th. Year 4 student Holly Keams did very well, placing 19th in the Moguls and was the 2nd placed Victorian in this event. She also competed in the Alpine placing 27th. Year 11 student Pia Falk had an unlucky DO in the first round of the Skier X but bounced back in the second round. It was a delight to see so many College representatives
acquitting themselves well against top competition on the national stage. A huge thank you to the parents who travelled to Perisher, put up with the rain, hail and shine, and acted as course volunteers, team managers, cheer leaders and psychologists. 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.
Thank you to Marcus Tyrell for his invaluable help on the snow, to team Captains Georgie Batten and Charlotte Darcy and to the parents who travelled and supported all of the students, volunteered on courses, managed teams, and who came to our two team functions. Hopefully you enjoyed the best week of snow since 2004! We are very excited about the future of snowsports and encourage skiers and boarders of all abilities to consider competing for College next year. Ni.cote Roache, Snowsports Co-ordinator

Boys Athletics Unlike many athletes in the Geelong College squad, APS athletics was a new thing for me when I moved to Australia in Year 11 and started training last year, The acceptance and encouragement of everyone else in the squad helped me feel at home right away and the careful instruction of our coaches enabled me to grow not only as an athlete, but also as an individual, I was very proud to be Captain of our forty-two boys when they competed at the APS Final at the end of this season. We achieved our best team result for ten years, passing both Carey and Geelong Grammar to achieve ninth place in this very challenging competition. Twenty-six boys achieved new personal bests in their individual events and five School Records were broken. We won six events across four age groups, including Nick O'Brien (U16 800ml, Hamish Poulter (U16 Long Jump), Miles Gray (U14 Shot Put) and Patrick Poulter (U14100m). The outstanding achievement of the day was by U17 thrower Oliver Courtnay, who won the Open Discus and U17 Shot Put and set two new School and APS records in these events. Open thrower Ethan Gubbels recorded an impressive second place in the Shot Put, Miles Gray was third in the U15 Discus competition and Josh Payne jumped to third place in the U14 Long Jump. These two athletes competed above their age group to assist the team, as did Jarrison Bray, Matt Thacker, Alex Anastassiou, Hamish Dobie, Nick O'Brien, Hamish Poulter, Will Jarman, Jack Ellis, Johnny Pring and Tom Thornton. Strong team contributions were made by athletes who competed in four events on the day: Lachie Bartlett, Charlie Lazarro, Hamish Poulter, Nick O'Brien and Josh Payne.

We must thank our capable and diligent coaches (all named in the Girls report) for their guidance and support. The season would not have been possible without the dedication and leadership of Erica Fountain, Mr Parkes and Mr. Clifford.

Girls Athletics Athletics is often regarded as an individual sport, but at Geelong College we are very much one team that trains and competes together, This year girls from Year 5 to Year 12 contributed to a strong fourth place at the APS Finals in October, The season included our usual Saturday Landy Field competitions, but also the challenge of the Victorian Schools Relays Championships at Lakeside Stadium, where the U20 4 x 800m team won an exciting gold medal and the U20 4 x 400m team raced strongly to take a bronze medal, We entered three girls teams in the inaugural Nitro Schools Challenge and the Senior team achieved an impressive fourth place in this strong competition. At the APS Final, rain fell for most of the morning and the conditions were very difficult for all athletes. The College girls showed great resilience and support for each other and twenty-eight personal bests were achieved in individual events. U16 athlete Cassidy Bradshaw won an amazing four individual events and competed in two relays to be our most outstanding athlete on the day. She was supported by strong middle distance running by Skye Ellis, who won the U16 800m and finished third in the U16 1500m, Olivia Richardson and Mia Kemp. Ruby Pekin- Schlicht made her usual vital team contribution, competing in five events and winning the Open High Jump and finishing third in the Open Triple Jump. Ruby has been our most versatile and committed athlete in her six years in the team. Congratulations to our throwers who had many personal bests at the Final. Jessica Mclachlan, Penelope Blight, Zoe Sandner and Antoinette Emma-Nnopu achieved second places and Ciara Philpott, Amy Thornton, Phoebe Calvert and Mia Kemp finished third in their shot put events. Other impressive performances included Kate Synoradzki's second place in U16
High Jump, Andie Taylor's third in the U14 400m and Cecilia Powers (U14) and Rose Jones (U13) third places in their hurdles races, Strong team contributions came from athletes who competed in four events on the day: Sophia Powers, Stephanie Williams, Skye Ellis, Cecilia Powers, Matisse Higgins and Rose Jones. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of the College coaching team They provided invaluable advice and encouragement and made the season enjoyable. We appreciated the efforts of Mark Boxer, Mandi Cole, Sarah Cotchett, Matt Courtnay, Tim Jarman, Neale Lomas, Brenton Rowe, Stewart Poulter, Coreena Van der Klooster, Graeme Watkins, Mr Horoch, Mr Saunders, Mr Jubber and especially the inspiration of our new Director of Coaching, Erica Fountain. Mr Robbins and Mrs Ratcliffe guided the Middle School athletes and Mr Parkes and our TIC Mr Clifford showed their passion for College athletics in their expert organisation of the season, The athletes were supported by a dedicated group of parents who ran the Landy Field canteen and social activities for the squad. Thank you especially to Conveners Andrew and Margaret Bell, Kate Schlicht and the Athletics Parent Support group for their enthusiasm and hard work Well done to our fellow Year 12 athletes Ellie Barr, Catherine Clark (who was unfortunately injured during the season and missed the Final), Jess Mclachlan and Ruby Pekin-Schlicht for their contributions over many seasons. It has been an honour for us to lead this talented Girls Athletics team and to feel the passion we all have for this great sport We know that the College girls will continue to work together in the future to lead to the team's success.

Duke of Edinburgh Award It is great to acknowledge the achievements of our students and as each year closes the Duke of Edinburgh Award provides that opportunity.
Congratulations to Ellie Barr who completed the Gold Award this year for her contributions across the school and community. For her service component Ellie participated in Surf Lifesaving at the Anglesea Surf Lifesaving Club and in a range of activities organised through the school including the Making Tracks Education Program and assisting in the sports programs on weekends. Congratulations to Sam Barnes who recently completed the Silver Award. A highlight was his Adventurous Journey where he spent time at the West Point Military Academy in the United States. Several students completed the Bronze Award this year and moved on to higher levels. More than 40 students from Years 8 to 12 are currently participating in the Award. The Award aligns with the College's community service ethos and the activities students participate in add so much value to the community and the school. Students are coaching sport and literacy, volunteering in aged care facilities, participating in homeless outreach, volunteering in opportunity shops and mentoring on community-based camps. This is something of which we can all be proud. The Fulfilling Lives program and the wonderful contributions which students make on their journeys are also great examples.

In the Term 3 school holidays, Year 11 student Ellie Milner visited Lake Tyers, a small Indigenous community in East Gippsland, with a doctor to learn about the health and social issues affecting that community.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award encourages students to pursue Community Service and Leadership and to go outside of their comfort zone. The flow-on effects to the community and the students is evident and will be for many years to come. The award is widely recognised and embraced by employers and universities and in scholarship applications. Two universities - the Australian Catholic University and La Trobe University - recognise it in the tertiary application process and the Australian National University from next year is incorporating community service requirements into their applications. Please contact the careers centre for further information about the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Adrian Blades, Careers Educator
I am 'from' many places, But those places are not 'my' place. I'm a person of the earth, I don't have a place, I am a place I am a reflection of the wars, The battles burnt into my skin. I am a symbol of the triumph, The glory pulsing in my veins. I am the result of history, The definition of what has been. I will be our future, The one who will stand over you. I will be the one who brands the next generation with my knowledge, Presses the joy into their souls, And gives them their true meaning. I will take this world places, Because by realising the world, I'm only realising myself. And all the things I will do, I don't belong in a place, because I am the place. Where I am is home, Not the roof I sleep under each night. I am my place, For if I wasn't I would be eternally lost, Looking for something I could never find. To find your true selt You must know your place under the stars. And understand why you're here, Because we're all here for a reason, The masters of our own destiny. We are the word of the scripture, The prophet sent to free this land. By having a place in which we are connected, We are only denying ourselves the ability to become a saviour. By realising you are the place, You are realising your future as a miracle. I am my place, for I am a person of the earth. Bailey Gait, Year 8

Community Service Grey Day Brain week is driven by the RCD foundation that promotes the concept 'Go grey in May'. The RCD foundation was created in 2013 in the memory of 'Robert Connor Dawes,' a former Brighton Grammar student, who sadly passed away in June of that year- with the vision to raise awareness of brain cancer. Brain cancer is the most fatal of all childhood cancers. Current clinical treatments only help 50% of children,but leaves 90% with lifelong physical and mental impairments. It was a successful fundraiser for this worthy cause, and along with other APS schools, Geelong College continues to support the RCD foundation.
Skyline Education Foundation Along with the captains from the 10 other APS schools this year we have worked collectively and individually to raise funds for the Skyline Education Foundation; a foundation helping disadvantaged yet gifted students through their final years of schooling. We have done so through fundraisers at both Middle school and Senior school as well as the collective inaugural celebrity basketball match in Melbourne at which the APS schools raised over $2,500. From all the combined efforts we have raised enough money for a Skyline bursary of $11,000, going to a student to develop their learning. This is something of which we are all very proud and feel will make a genuine difference.
Eat Up Sandwich Making This year the College took part in many Eat Up Sandwich Making workshops, with students, staff and family members all pitching in to help make sandwiches for students who come to school without lunch. The need for the sandwiches has increased and we are now making 1000 sandwiches in a session. This has been a great opportunity for students to get involved in community service and to help the various schools to whom we deliver. Middle and Junior School students generously supported the very worthy 'Drought relief' fund raiser to offer support for farmers in drought affected areas. 'Dress as a farmer' and a Bush Dance were generously supported by the Campbell House Community. 'No bullying' wrist bands also promoted an awareness of this issue and Senior School students met with our Junior School students to promote the message in our school. The great shave to support blood cancers was bravely taken up by the Home sisters who courageously saw their hair shaved to support this very worthy cause and sports colours day also raised money for the Cancer appeal.
Relay for Life This year the College raised $6000 in Geelong's Relay for Life event, well exceeding our $5000 target. Despite the extremely hot conditions, we had a team of 30 runners / walkers carrying the Pegasus Baton for a total of 21 hours, with the relay being called off early on Sunday 18th March due to the extreme weather. The College team was honoured to carry the banner in the Carers / Supporters' Lap and were involved in the Candlelight Ceremony. Funds raised went towards setting up a research grant supporting the Cancer Council. We hope this great cause can continue to grow and we can have even more students, staff and family members participating in 2019!
Pancake Day On the 28th of February, the College celebrated Pancake day. Hundreds of pancakes were sold; we raised an incredible $104Z80 in just one 20 minute recess. These funds will be used by Uniting Care to help make a difference in the lives of people living in crisis across Victoria and Tasmania. I hope the College community continues to come together in years to come to 'Flip for a good cause'.
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge The ALS Ice-bucket challenge was a new initiative introduced in 2018. Seeking to raise money to help efforts against Multiple Sclerosis, this fundraiser also provided an entertaining lunch to both staff and students. With money being placed on staff and student names, the four highest bids were asked to complete the challenge in Helicon Place. Thank you to all involved but most significantly our volunteers Alex Crowe, Katie Archer, Mrs Barnes and Mr Blanchfield for facing the icy water.

The Geelong College Foundation Following on from the success of last years' Morongo Old Collegians luncheon, we were pleased to host over 150 members of the Morongo community in the Dining Hall for lunch in July. Our guests enjoyed an afternoon of catching up with old friends, visiting the Morongo Room to view some of the Morongo memorabilia and hearing from the current Morongo Award recipient. A highlight was the stirring rendition of the Morongo school song sung by all present at the lunch. Our other annual events were all well attended which included the Foundation Members Lunch in March, Morrison Society morning tea at Mackie House in October and the very popular Golf Day at the Barwon Heads Golf Club in November. We finished the year with a wonderful Christmas Drinks reception held in Melbourne in conjunction with the OGCA. The Geelong College Foundation wishes to thank all of our donors who supported our work in 2018, in particular our flagship fundraising activity each year the Annual Giving campaign which this year raised almost $100,000. This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the generous and committed support of many of the College community. Your support will go towards four key projects being the Mackie Welcome, Regional & Rural Boarding Bursaries, the Cloisters Classrooms refurbishment and the Pegasus Scholarships. I look forward to updating you on the progress of these projects next year. In May this year was the successful launch of the Dr Bill Williams "Tjungurrayi" Scholarships for indigenous students. Once again, the College community proves its generous spirit by donating over $26,000 in a short few months. The purpose of the scholarships is to benefit indigenous students through the development of The Geelong College indigenous student program. Dr Bill Williams (OGC 1975) was a man of principle and conviction and became a social activist particularly in the campaign against nuclear weapons. He was also involved in environmental and feminist issues. Bill lived with his family in Kintore, an indigenous community in the Northern Territory. He wrote a novel inspired by his experiences there and returned regularly to continue his medical work with indigenous people. Following his untimely death in September 2016, his family and past College friends decided to honour his legacy by establishing a scholarship in his name.
The refurbishment of Mackie and Mossgiel boarding houses completed earlier this year is an example of the Foundation's commitment to the ongoing improvement of the School. Our members of the Morrison Society were impressed with the improvements made to Mackie and Mossgiel at the annual Morrison Society morning tea where they had an opportunity to tour both boarding houses.
After last year's successful launch of the Foundation Fellowship, I'm pleased to provide an update on the adventures of our inaugural Foundation Fellows Julie Bickett, Christine Barrett (both EL teachers), Marita Seaton (Middle School Leader for Leaming) and Rhonda Browne (Head of English Years 7 & 8). Julie and Christine headed to Reggio Emilia, Italy in March this year and Marita and Rhonda travelled to New Zealand to learn about Integrated Leaming in middle years. The objectives of the Fellowship have already proven to be impactful and we look forward to assisting other members of our teaching staff with the 2019 Fellowships. Our third annual tree planting day at our Fyansford property was held in late July to coincide with the National Tree Planting Day. The Year 4 Enviro students enjoyed a beautiful day's planting on the Friday but inclement and cold weather on the Sunday kept the volunteer numbers down. Notwithstanding this, all the available trees and shrubs were planted. The foresight of the Foundation to purchase the Fyansford property in 2009 is now being realised not only as a future development site for the school but as a long term real estate investment which has gained significant value. I encourage all members of the College community to consider helping the Foundation achieve its objective to preserve and enhance the financial future of The Geelong College.

The Foundation hosts a number of events and activities to help maintain our close links with the College community. Our signature event each year is the Foundation Concert held at Costa Hall. The finale of the night was a particularly notable performance by the 2018 Music Captain An Trinh. Her piano concerto was acknowledged with a standing ovation and capped off a memorable evening of performance by students from all three campuses.
May I personally thank the Foundation Board members, the Principal Dr Peter Miller and the Council Chairman Dr Hugh Seward AM for their time and enthusiastic involvement with the Foundation during 2018. Much has been achieved this year and we look forward to another busy year in 2019. J A (Sandy) Hutton, Foundation President
Founders' Day Address Belief Address to The Geelong College Middle School, Founders' Day Assembly July 18 2018 Are tidal pools at the beach really magical places, forever changing? Is a mountain in the wilderness a sacred place? Does a river really follow the ancestral path of a rainbow serpent? Are there really no fairies, elves and goblins? No Harry Potter? Who is to say?
In material ways these are not important questions. What matters is the feeling of belief in these and so many other questions, and the manner in which certainty and conviction plays out in our daily lives. Tangible belief determines the footprint of our culture, our sciences, music and arts, and the impact that our society has on its environment. A child raised to believe that a mountain is the abode of a protective spirit will be a profoundly different human being from the youth brought up to believe that a mountain is an inert mass of rock ready to be mined and processed. A child raised to believe that the tidal zone of their holiday beach is a gathering place for the spirits of Nature - of the sea and land - to wrestle and behave curiously, will be a very different person from the one who waits for his sand castle to be washed away forever by an incoming wave. It is with belief and the visionary realm of The Dreamtime of the First Peoples of Australia, that presents us with one of the great experiments in human thought. As descendants of the humans who left Africa so long ago, the Aboriginal somehow survived on our island continent, isolated from the rest of the world for tens of thousands of years. They encountered an austere and impossible place where evolution had taken bizarre turns, producing plants, animals and storytelling unlike any other. They applied a belief that invented a magical connectivity to cope with the material land. They tracked song Imes and chanted stories, that through belief, made them a part of the Dreamtime which is neither a dream nor a measure of the passage of time. We should be reminded that they believe that the land is encoded with everything that has ever been; everything that will ever be, in every dimension, real and imagined.
A child raised to believe in fables and storytelling as places for them to inhabit and maintain as they grow older will be a different person from the one needing factual proof that everything worthwhile has to be true. It is with belief and a visionary realm of our literature in books where worlds are conjured in words and pictures that human imagination grows and survives Here, we make spaces for the possibility of fairies, elves and goblins; Santa Claus and even Harry Potter.
Until recently nobody other than me knew what happens in this pigeon house, even though pigeons still come and go throughout the seasons. I know it as the home of The Dreamkeeper and his sister None-the-Wiser, and their goblin Tally and many more fabulous characters. In one big room high off the ground, beyond the reach of mortals like ourselves the meeting place of the College of Grand Belief which has The Dreamkeeper as its principal. The College operates to care for the well being of all story book characters and creatures, and their readers. A Council meets in this room, which according to a story, is not furnished other than with a big arm chair for the chairman. On the wall behind the chair are bookshelves loaded with past and present case histories of College Arbitrations and Rulings all prepared and catalogued by the secretary goblin, Tally. The other three walls are covered with bookshelves but no books. Instead they are stocked with lively characters on loan from the classic books of children's literature. With them are creatures and places that share the same book pages, all waiting to be called when needed. Peter Pan, Wendy and Captain Hook are there from Neverland; Mowgli and his jungle animals are there from the mind of Rudyard Kipling; Jim Hawkins and pirate Long John Silver are visiting from Treasure Island. Then there is mean old Scrooge from A Christmas Carol with his maker Charles Dickens and the team of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad from Wind in the Willows. Alice is there a number of times with her companions both from Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. From America there is Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. And there are still shelves left for those characters yet to be imagined. They and many others are there to be advisors and advocates and to help the College Council of Grand Belief. Believe that, or simply believe that they are only on loan to the imagination of an old story teller who has drawn pictures of them many times for books.
We renew and refresh our lives well beyond our daily essentials, when we seek to find a time and place for belief.
In reality, recently a large painting, in seven panels has been made of a 'lively' bookcase, with its story book characters as it might be imagined in the pigeon house meeting room. The painting is called 'The Magic Bookcase·.
A child raised to be curious, and grow up believing there are places just around the corner of your mind where reality is an intruder and dreams can come true with help of imagination, will be a different person from the one who thinks they know the right answer without listening to the question.
Most people, young and old, can recognise the hundred characters in the picture - people, animals, creatures and places - all assembled alone at last without the story words on book pages to explain and support them, and away from the minds of the great writers who invented them long ago.
One place around the corner of my mind is both far away and with me all the time. In reality, it is an old rural pigeon house somewhere in the south of France. This lonely farm building standing like a tree house on four tall legs appears to be abandoned. For ages, only pigeons lived in this place as there is no ladder, stairs or door for humans to go inside. Originally, before telephones and emails, people trained pigeons to send messages to each other. Farmers collected pigeon droppings to fertilise the vineyards and ate pigeon pie at special family dinners.
They have a new role to play; one that can guide young people to grow up to maturity with the help of great literature, imagination and an enduring belief.

Farewells Adrian Camm Adrian commenced at The Gee long College in January 2014 as Head of Teaching and Learning. As a member of the College Executive team in his first two years Adrian was enthusiastically involved in reviewing the approach to teaching and learning. He was instrumental in the development of the Vision for Learning document that underpins our overall approach to teaching and learning at the school. From his earliest contact with staff and the wider community everyone noted his desire to encourage innovation. In his first year Adrian issued teaching staff with a small card headed "Permission to Innovate". This brought with it greater responsibility and opportunity for teachers in their own learning, reflection on practice and advancement. The positive impact on the learning environment for our students has been clear. Adrian was involved in establishing the Centre for Learning Research and Innovation (CLRI) and guiding its evolution in these first years. The CLRI was a bold commitment to building a learning community focused on student outcomes but extending beyond the classroom into the community. In 2017 Adrian's role changed to become Director of Teaching and Learning. This slight change of title brought with it the responsibility for overseeing the operations of the CLRI. The CLRI has found its place in the life of College facilitating learning opportunities for students, staff and parents as well as others in the wider community. Adrian's passion for learning and wide interests have brought together exciting programs of learning for everyone. Above all, Adrian is a teacher. He has worked to enhance the capacity of other teachers so they might be even more effective in their work with students. His initiatives over the last 5 years have included developing the Year 5 Maker Program, extended elective offerings in the secondary years, documenting curriculum across all years, developing approaches to tracking student progress and most recently the implementation of a new system to underpin this have all contributed to the advances made here. He has also been a great advocate for the professional learning of his colleagues. At the same time, Adrian has maintained his commitment to his own professional learning. He has engaged in GROWTH coaching training, commenced doctoral studies and applied all these skills in his work with his colleagues. Adrian has shared the advancement in educational practice and thinking at College by representing us with distinction at many state, national and international conference forums. These occasions have also provided fuel for the ongoing drive to advancement. A love of life and the outdoors combines with Adrian's passion for education through experiences. While at The Geelong College Adrian has led trips to Central Australia and Borneo as well as Nepal. AU of these have been life changing for the students he has guided. We wish Adrian and his family all the very best in their future beyond College. His contribution has been significant and we are very grateful for his positive influence. Mentone Grammar are very fortunate to have an outstanding teacher as their new Deputy Principal. Dr Peter Miller
Deb Cleary Deb is an excellent teacher of Mathematics who taught at the College for close on 20 years. She made a considerable contribution to the Mathematics Department and her exceptional organisational skills were appreciated by all her colleagues. Anybody who worked with Deb was struck by her boundless collegiality, her willingness to be proactive and her lively sense of fun. Students responded positively to Deb's warm and friendly manner, her patience, her generosity and her genuine support no matter what their achievement or ability. Her calm, reassuring presence in the classroom, her measured approach and gentle, though firm manner, distinguished her as a teacher and enabled her to develop strong relationships with both students and parents. Deb's rowing involvement included accompanying the senior crews interstate when they competed at National titles. Her personal experience of assisting her own children achieve in both study and sport made her an outstanding team 'mum'; overseeing general homework and study requirements but also assisting the Year 12s to prepare for SACs and to maintain a healthy balance while training and competing. For many years, Deb was a valued tutor in Morrison House. She had a knack for understanding students' struggles and difficulties, always seeing issues from their point of view. Students could talk to her if things were difficult and she would listen and then give great advice. Deb was a strong supporter of the rowing and swimming program, both as a parent and a teacher. She assisted with timing and recording for the swimming squads at training and competitions and spent six years organising and supporting crews and coaches in the rowing sheds and at numerous regattas. We extend to Deb the very best wishes for a happy and rewarding future. Donna Lannan & Addy Bucek

Farewells Daniel Clifford Dan began teaching at The Geelong College in January 1989 as Head of Physical Education replacing Craig Considine. Prior to starting work in Geelong, he taught at Black Friars Priory School in Adelaide for five years. In the year he started, Dan was teacher in charge of Athletics and Football, coordinated personal fitness and taught Year 12 for the first time. He certainly felt the step-up in time demands that came from commencing at a new school, combined with compulsory sport and the high expectations of Year 12 students. From 1990 to 1993 he worked as a residential tutor in Mossgiel Boarding House. By 1997 Dan decided to relinquish the Head of Physical Education role and moved back into PE and Geography teaching while continuing as TIC of Football. During this period there were times when he was also TIC of Badminton and Waterpolo. In 2006, Dan was appointed Head of Morrison House and remained in this role for five years. He enjoyed this job immensely, especially the contact with the students. As their mentor he was always prepared to work through all pastoral care matters. Dan loved to engage with the students and use positive reinforcement to move them in the right direction. His biggest highlight in Morrison was winning House Music with the talented Robert Tripolino singing an unforgettable version of the 'The Joker and The Thief. The whole school was upstanding at the end of Rob and his band's amazing rendition. In 2011 Dan stepped away from Morrison House and moved back to his first love, Coles House, as a tutor. At this time, he was appointed Head of Boys Sport and continued on as TIC of Football. Over the last few years Dan has moved into a part-time position on staff. He has managed the 1st XVIII Football team and continued as TIC of Waterpolo. This year he completed the full circle and returned to the position of TIC of Athletics. Dan enjoyed many highlights in sport during his 30 years at the College. The 1st XVIII winning the joint APS Football premiership in 2006 was his most memorable one. From this team of non-scholarship players, the school produced six AFL/VFL players; an amazing achievement from all involved. His lasting memories of the school he crossed the South Australian border for, to take up a new life in the city of Geelong thirty years ago; will be the long-lasting friendships and the exceptional rapport with the students and the wider College community.

Jo Young It is with great sadness that we farewell Jo Young from the student administration office.
Jo commenced her career at the Geelong College on 15 January 2001, working for Margaret Lethbridge (Head of Senior School - Welfare) in the office with Roger Smith (Head of Senior School - Curriculum) and Florence Tan. After 3 years, Florence retired and was replaced by Jodie Fuller. In 2007, Margaret Lethbridge retired and Joan Gill took up residence in the office that saw several changes in Head over her time. Jo's role involved looking after attendance/absentees, support for Heads of School, Heads of House, and teaching staff. She has capably organised and assisted with Year 12 Celebration Day activities, Year 12 Formal, Year 9/10 Social, Prefect selection, looked after sick students, consoled students, parents, teachers and applied first aid. She has completed yard duty rosters, managed the detention system, sport exemptions, completed meeting schedules, written up countless meeting minutes (from her superior short-hand skills), prepared and edited references, bulletin pieces, produced tutorial sheets and student news feeds, organised new student orientation programs, produced staff and senior school handbook. She has cared for lost pets, lost staff and lost equipment. She has been the uniform police, collecting and returning countless jewellery items, providing hair ties to girls and facial shaving products to boys and the list goes on. Jo has been a constant. She is kind, knowledgeable, capable and is an incredible wordsmith. Her phone manner is impeccable and she greets guests and families with warmth and care. And it is Jo's manner that we will wistfully think most of, mourn for and miss. Hundreds of student and parents and certainly staff will remember her fondly and gratefully for her calm in a crisis, her reassurance in all situations, weather and occasions, and for her sense of humour. She has a masterful sense of comedic timing (a gift shared by her husband Lawrence and two sons David and Andrew) and an unrivalled capacity to put people at ease. She is a font of all College (and Geelong) knowledge, is almost unflappable, and possesses a magnificent radar for spotting trouble, troubleshooting possible contingency plans, reading new people, and alerting the right people to be aware of individuals who are doing it tough. Jo will be sincerely missed. We thank her for her commitment to the school and wish her the very best as she embarks on retirement and all the wonderful opportunities this will bring. We wish her every happiness and satisfaction for the future!

Farewells Ray Russell Ray started at the College on 4 January 2000 as the Office Manager under Bert Stewart, as the Bursar, to progress through to the Payroll Officer until his retirement date. Nearly 19 amazing years at the College. I am sure many of you have been in for a chat with Ray or shared a laugh and joke! Ray has always been open, honest with his work, and keen to make the payroll function as easy to understand as possible. Ray was always willing to discuss issues and assist all staff members whilst always showing a keenness to get involved with other endeavours such as the Combined Fund, where Ray was the employee representative for all College members for some years now. Noelene (our prior accountant) reflects on her time with Ray very fondly, especially when she shared an office with him for many years, sharing many stories and jokes. She passes on her well wishes and says 'G'day and good luck for the future!' As you all know, and probably shared some banter with, Ray has a love of sports, especially football. He was convenor of the College footy tipping and is an Avid Cats fan, but also is a keen follower of the Modewarre Warriors in the BFL, who are finally enjoying some success in finals. I'm sure you have heard a story or two about the amazing days of Ray Russell and his football career. In retirement we hope you continue to enjoy spending time with the family, enjoying a nice bottle of red and Cheryl's amazing cooking, also enjoying the tastes of the Moriac area with friends and hopefully a few rounds of golf and trips exploring the world. We wish you all the best for the future and hope your health returns to full capacity to allow you to enjoy your retirement.

Julia Thompson Julia has been a stalwart of the College Library department since joining the Senior School Library as a library assistant "for a term" 40 years ago. She later attained a Diploma in Library and Information Services to gain more depth and responsibility in her role, before finding her niche in Middle School. "The role over those years has been ever-evolving and new skills and challenges taken on. In the beginning a good part of my role was to help students retrieve information from print material. Classes would book into the library for research. With the advent of technology there has been a shift from print to online sources and databases. That would be the biggest change in libraries. No two days are the same and that is what has made my role so rewarding," Julia said. "What hasn't changed is our focus on the importance of reading. Recommending great books to students and have them come back and tell you how they loved it." Julia said she felt fortunate to have worked with great staff at the College, felt valued and included, and formed long-term friendships. 2016 was a special year for Julia, when her granddaughter Astrid began attending Year 6 at College. She was followed in 2017 by Ellie in Year 4 and Nico in Prep. To them, she's not "Mrs Thompson", but "Nanna". "It will be bitter-sweet to leave such a wonderful job, and all my friends and I am sad to be leaving, but I'm going to enjoy the freedom that retirement allows. As with many retirees, travel and grandchildren will be the big focus. I'd like to be part of the volunteer movement as well as spending more time at our Bush House."
Deb Woods Deb Woods joined the College in March 1997 as the Publications/Media Officer and became the College's Registrar in 2007 (recently retitled Admissions Manager). Deb has been the "face" of the College, meeting hundreds of potential students and families, conducting tours and interviews, and working tirelessly to maintain the College's enrolment numbers. Deb was heavily involved in College life, with her sons Alexander (OGC 2009) and Joshua (OGC 2011) having both attended the school. She was in parent support groups, carnival committees and the College community choir, just to name a few. She leaves the College to take up a role as Deputy Registrar at Geelong Grammar. We wish her all the best in the next chapter of her career.

Farewells Ray Dalhaus Ray started at The Geelong College on the 20 October 1986 as a cabinetmaker within the Maintenance Department. That's nearly 32 years, which is something that is not seen very often these days in this trade. Ray has seen many changes at the College and many additions of buildings, facilities and changes in staff. Ray worked with the Maintenance team initially out of the former Stinton Nursery located in Stinton Avenue until a new Maintenance Facility was constructed at Middle School in August 2003. The new facility provided upgraded equipment and floor space that allowed Ray to construct larger joinery jobs with ease. During Ray's time at College he has worked within the Maintenance Facility constructing workstations, cabinets and numerous joinery jobs. Ray has always been punctual, known for his 'dad' jokes and love for music, especially blues, rock and country. But Ray will be best known for discretely signing his name and dating his work over his many years; creating many laughs amongst the team. When demolishing work, they found Ray's name and date written on the back of cupboards. Ray, your quality workmanship and skills in joinery along with your passion for the school will be missed by the maintenance team and within the College. Jen, thank you for your support over the years of Ray and the school. Ray, we wish you well in your retirement, good health and having more time with Jen and family.

Jen Nicholls Art teacher and technician, Ms Jen Nicholls leaves the College after 9 years of service. Jen has stepped into a variety of roles in the Art and Design programs at the Middle School during her time with us. Her skills in the graphic design and design technology areas have been of great value to our program, but it has been Jen's adaptability and flexibility in her contributions to the Art Department that have been most appreciated by her colleagues and the students in her care. Her significant life experiences gave her the insight to work, not only in curriculum development, but as a mentor. Her ability to encourage and extend the learning of individual students has resulted in achievements and growth that they would not have predicted. Whilst the Middle School Art Department was her major focus, major contributions were also made to the Year 8 Production set design and construction over recent years. Her striking creative style and love of team work resulted in some extraordinary sets. We thank Jen for her work and ongoing support in her time at the Middle School and wish her well as she moves into her new role as the graphic artist of 'What's On' magazine in Geelong.

Joyce Taylor Joyce Taylor has been a valued member of The Geelong College community since 2010, when she became the College's Foundation Officer. She looked after our Foundation board and the Morrison Society, overseeing fundraising for scholarships, building projects and bequests. Joyce was excellent at stewardship and looking after our donors, and she built strong relationships within our community. In 2014 she became Director of Development. She managed the College's Annual Giving campaigns and donor events, including the Foundation Concert and Foundation Golf Day. She also introduced new events to connect with all parts of our community, such as past parents and Morongo Old Collegians. With her daughter Grace now in Year 9 at College, Joyce was actively involved with the Preparatory School Parents' Association and community events. She was also a member of the Work Health Safety Representative Committee and Educate Plus Victoria Chapter, organising professional development opportunities for school community relations employees across Victoria and Australia. Joyce was a wonderful ambassador for our school. We wish her all the best for her future and look forward to seeing her back at school as a parent.
