If I were to ask you, the 2019 valedictorians, what are the major worries you have for the future of the world, and for our society, how would you respond?

There are a number of surveys exploring the answers to these questions. First on the list is climate change and the environment, second is terrorism and a concern for countries at war, and third the future of employment and job security.

Whatever your response to the question of what worries or concerns you, don't let the older generation dismiss you with: 'You don't understand' or '..Just allow change to happen gradually'. We need the passion and idealism of youth to challenge the status quo so that society can improve. Climate activist, Greta Thunberg's leadership and student protests, demonstrate the enormous power of the youthful voice.

When I reflect on the major issues of my youth: Apartheid in South Africa, the Vietnam war, Nuclear testing in the Pacific; our marching in the street did have an impact. We did eventually persuade governments to listen.

Protests encouraged international sanctions against South Africa, which created the pressure leading to Nelson Mandela's release from prison and the peaceful transition to majority rule.

Protests led the Australian governments to withdraw from Vietnam and the Americans to end the war. Subsequent boatloads of Vietnamese refugees were welcomed to our country and have since made a great contribution to our society.

Protests drove the French to stop testing nuclear bombs in the Pacific.

I doubt that these changes would have happened as rapidly as they did without the passion of youth led opposition. Legal protests can be powerful and effective.

It will not be long before you are leading this world; a rapidly changing world, where technology is altering the way we live and work. When asked about their worries for the future, 35% of survey respondents cited concerns that technology would replace their jobs. I have mentioned in previous years the ripple effect ofinnovation in this age of technology, and, like the 19th century industrial revolution, or the twentieth century scientific age, there is no looking back.

My favourite example is the driverless car, which will eventually become commonplace because it will be safer. Traffic accidents will be fewer, leading to less need for panel beaters and less work for those in car insurance. Fewer traffic accident injuries will mean the TAC will not need as many employees and there will be fewer demands for medical providers, such as rehabilitation physiotherapists and psychologists who deal with traffic trauma. So those I mentioned earlier are right to recognise that technology will reduce jobs. But, as we have seen before, new jobs will be created to replace that work in areas we cannot yet imagine.

You have the opportunity to mould the future of work and the way we live. And, you need to consider how you will mould our society. As you build this brave new world, I have one suggestion for you. I have one quality of our society that I do not wish you to lose. In fact, I think it is the most basic foundation of our Australian society and I fear it is threatened. That essential, foundational quality is "tolerance".

So, here is my "pitch" to you as to why it is important.

I want to take you to Bosnia Herzegovina for a few minutes, and tell you my experience in a recent visit to this small nation wedged between Croatia and Serbia. All part of the old Yugoslavia. There are three racial and religious groups: Bosnians who align with Eastern Orthodox Serbia, Bosnians who align with Catholic Croatia but central Bosnia is Muslim, a vestige of the Ottoman Empire which ruled that part of Europe from the 15th century. This is the country where the capital city Sarajevo was besieged for four years by Serbia, where thousands died from daily bombing. There was also an attempted genocide where 4000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were slaughtered in Srebrenica.

I visited Mostar, a southern city of the country with Europe's oldest arched bridge built by the Ottomans in the 15th Century.

This bridge survived the violent war in 1992, when the Serbians were pushed back by the united forces of the Bosnian Muslims and the Bosnian Croatians. It was destroyed only a year later when those two allies turned on each other destroying the bridge and the town and killing hundreds.

However, there was a truce. UNICEF has rebuilt the bridge.

Now, Bosnian Muslims and Croatians are trying to live side by side again. It is not easy. Imagine Newtown and Highton fighting and killing each other, then trying to live in peace, rebuilding the Queens Park bridge. Except in Bosnia, these intolerances are 500 years old; hatred built generation on generation. How do they now develop tolerance?

On my return home it reinforced my view that Australia's precious commodity isn't coal or iron ore. It is tolerance, because if you allow tolerance to crumble, hatred follows and hate is a destroyer, as Bosnia demonstrates.

So how tolerant is our society?

I returned from my trip to Bosnia to be shocked to hear the extraordinary racist views of the former Senator Fraser Anning in his maiden speech to Parliament, where he blamed the murderous attack by a violent, right-wing, extremist terrorist on a mosque in New Zealand on the immigration of Muslims: the actual victims of the shooting. Anning displayed a xenophobia that has traction in some corners of our society. This is the level of intolerance that creates division and does great harm to a harmonious society.

I returned to the launch of documentaries about Adam Good es, one of which is ironically named "The Australian Dream", directed by Stan Grant. This film revealed a level of racial intolerance that stunned and embarrassed me. Aboriginal students have an honoured place in our school. I started this address with an acknowledgement of and gratitude for the traditional owners of this land. Many of you had privileged experiences in Aboriginal communities in the Fulfilling Lives program in Year 10. Grant and Goodes' film demonstrates how intolerant racial taunts can damage people and relationships, but you know that respect and tolerance creates rich and enduring friendships.

These stories demonstrate that Australian tolerance is under threat, and when it is allowed to fester, can become a destructive force. Bosnia is the end result.

Tolerance is supported and empowered by our school values.

If you embrace Community with Diversity, Integrity with Compassion, Respect with Grace and do so with Courage, you will embrace tolerance.

I implore you to build a tolerant society into your future Australia.

There is an emerging conversation about the relevance of yearbooks such as Pegasus given contemporary means of communicating, documenting and celebrating achievements in the life of schools. My contribution to this conversation is to affirm the great importance of creating an accessible historical document which captures the range of activities in a school such as ours. The great variety of student and community activities documented in Pegasus are as important now as they will continue to be into the future as we look back on them with affection or simply to be reminded. I think Pegasus is here to stay.

Throughout 2019 we have been working on developing five key features across all three schools of The Geelong College. These are: Learning culture; Indigenous connections; International connections; Faith and Values; and, Building long term capacity in our community. Each of these relates to the strategic plan "Towards 2025: We reach for the stars" and they are informed by it. However, it was felt there is a need for each of these to feature even more strongly in our documentation over the next year, demonstrating how we are advancing each aspect of College life with positive outcomes for students.

Throughout this year I have explained a little more detail of each feature in publications such as Ad Astra and the weekly Bulletin.

These will remain a focus for at least the next 12 months in our publications and documentation of our pursuits. We are looking to ensure we are a positive and an influential school community.

Documenting these five key features assists us in extending our influence as well as simply telling our story in relation to them.

Among the many events and projects across College this year, one of the most significant has been the development of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The RAP has been devised by a group of staff across all areas of College life (teachers and support staff) with the view to build community on the important issue of reconciliation with indigenous Australians.

This is a complex and ambitious undertaking. This is not a "think tank". The RAP group has led the project with enthusiasm to produce a document which outlines a number of actions we can take within College to advance the issue of reconciliation.

The completion of our first RAP means we have a starting point for an ongoing conversation. This RAP will be refined and maintained as we seek to keep the momentum on this important issue. I am very grateful to the large number of staff who have voluntarily engaged in the development of the RAP and its ongoing maintenance.

An approach ofreconciliation is not confined to indigenous relations. This approach has been embraced by the College Council and our whole community when dealing with issues of historical abuse. A feature of recent years has been the disclosure by a number of former students in which they have shared incidents of historical harm, dating back many years.

This is not limited to The Geelong College but is true across many institutions and aspects of our society. The courage of survivors to come forward and recount their stories is humbling.

They are confronting and troubling stories because they regularly challenge romantic views of the past. The community of today is seeking to support survivors of past harm in many ways. Accepting stories of harm as a part of our history and responding responsibly to them today is a key feature of an approach of reconciliation.

Like any plan towards reconciliation we have more actions to undertake in this area as we progress, informed by individuals and reflections on actions throughout the process. Respect and respectful actions underpin reconciliation in both indigenous matters and in response to notification of incidents of historical harm.

The experience of a truly liberal education of students remains at the heart of College. The coming together of academic pursuits, sport, drama, music, community service, creative arts and spiritual growth (and even spiritual awakening) are expectations we have of all our students as a matter of routine.

It is this liberal education that brings with it a sense of social place for our students and a greater capacity to engage in communities beyond their school life. This is training for life, not only a job or a career.

A liberal education can be misunderstood as conservative by nature. In fact, a liberal education is very progressive. It requires high levels of agility, adaptation and flexibility over time to remain relevant. The physical spaces in which these experiences take place are important because they facilitate the nature of the interactions. To this end, we have continued to improve the physical spaces of learning areas this year to ensure they are aligned to contemporary pedagogy, technology and overall learning environment. Upgrading of Senior School classrooms, improvements to the Senior School House rooms and other projects have been important.

The single largest project this year has been the redevelopment of Campbell House which has emerged from the landscape over the last few months. We are all looking to access the remarkable areas next year. Our youngest students have watched the construction in great anticipation of the outcome. Such is the progress that they no longer need to wonder how big it will be.

With that much clearer they are wondering how it will work, where they will play and what will the new school buildings be like inside. The redeveloped Campbell House will be fully operational next year with the planned opening event early in the second half of 2020.

The life of The Geelong College is most clearly evident in student activities. These activities are well supported by a community of volunteers involved in the SSPA, PSPA, College Foundation, OGCA and a range of activity support groups for sports and music. We are very fortunate to have such a vibrant army of volunteers who quietly and effectively go about supporting student activities here. This is the great strength of the community and something to cherish. Although these groups may not be always conspicuous in Pegasus, their contribution is evident in the activities for the students.

The launch of the Pegasus Scholarships last year has been well received. The desire to support students with a range of skills and talents who we believe will benefit greatly from an education at College has been well supported. In addition to strong applications we have appreciated the positive interest from Old Collegians who have contributed financially to the scholarship fund. This sort of financial support is helping students who might not have otherwise been able to attend College. The idea is to hold the donations and only draw down a small proportion of the total amount. This will ensure the financial support now will last forever. Again, this may not be evident in Pegasus but it sits behind the experiences and the faces of students documented here, in all their achievements.

An extended period of modest growth has seen our student population from Early Learning to Year 12 exceed 1400 for the first time. This is an encouraging sign for us. However, the challenge is for The Geelong College to maintain its character in the face of great pressure to grow in size. A larger student population brings with it challenges associated with availability of learning spaces and the systems we have in place, especially our outstanding pastoral system across the three schools.

The intention is to ensure each and every student has the best possible experience at College given all we have on offer. Again, I expect this is evident as you read through the pages of the 2019 Pegasus.

I hope you enjoy reading the 2019 Pegasus whether you are reading it immediately after its publication or in the years to come.

For both of us, our journey at Geelong College has formed the biggest part of our lives thus far with a combined total of 23 years. During this time, we have seen many changes, including different leaders, new buildings and projects, but what is most heartening for us is that more has remained the same than what has changed. The most important aspects of our school, in terms of our sense of community, strength of culture and interconnectedness, have stayed relatively unchanged over our tenure here. This is something of which we are very proud.

The opportunity we both had to go back to where it all began for the 'Return to Campbell House Assembly' was one that was incredibly special for all the Year 12s involved, as we had the chance to reconnect with former teachers, reminisce about old memories and realise how long our journey here has been.

In doing so, we were able to understand the incredible and formative impact the College has had in shaping us to be who we are today.

While we have undoubtedly learnt a huge amount over our time here, this year has perhaps been the one with the most learning, through our role as College Co Captains. Our leadership experience has been one of constant growth, in which we have placed great value on developing our leadership in order to more positively influence those around us. As we asserted at the start of the year, our aim was to both lead by example as role models, and to help those we lead to be the best versions of themselves; something we hope we have achieved. The Geelong Leadership conference we held during Term 3 gave us the unique opportunity to connect with other Geelong school leaders and learn from each other, with invitations extended to all schools in the region. We discussed pressing issues as well as what it means to be a leader, also considering what we want to pass on to next year's captains. From this, we were able to have a better understanding of the true meaning of leadership and how we can learn from others. The opportunity for us to meet with other APS Captains and fund raise for the Skyline foundation has also been a wonderful one, as we were able to pass on the gift of education we have received to others: raising, with the help of our school communities, a combined total of around $20,000 across the schools. At a recent Skyline function we heard from a number of students who have been assisted through the program. Their stories were very powerful and reminded us how fortunate we all are at Geelong College to receive such an amazing education.

Looking to the future, it is comforting to hand over leadership with such excitement for the College's future, which we will both eagerly follow. This year has included considerable change and progress that paves the way for College's future continuation as the incredible institution it is today. In the inaugural year of Dr Philip Bohun as Director of Music the music program has flourished, with this year's Foundation Concert showcasing the breadth of talent across all campuses. The House rooms have also had a refreshing refurbishment, while the student body was given a greater voice with the creation of the school newspaper, Quid Novi, and the growth of the Geelong College Rainbow Alliance. Together with this year's new prefect portfolio structure, we hope that the College experience has become more immersive, fulfilling and inclusive for all, and we have every confidence that next year's leaders will themselves inspire much positive change.

To Dr Miller, Mr Young and Ms Van Cleef; your willingness to provide support and advice has been invaluable, and we both feel very comfortable handing over our leadership with complete belief in the direction of the school and trust for the College's future growth and prosperity. We thank our Co-Vice Captains Kate and Oli for their support and companionship throughout the year, as well as all Prefects, House Captains and other student leaders; all of whom have provided the student body with a year of strong representation. To the class of 2019, it has been a pleasure, and we look forward with great anticipation to hearing of all the wonderful accomplishments you no doubt will achieve.

Iona Bulford & Oscar Illingworth, Co-Captains

2019 has seen significant changes to the College Chaplaincy team this year, with the retirement of Mr Dave Curnow from the team at the beginning of Term 3, after being at The Geelong College for 33 years. I would like to personally thank Dave for all he has contributed to the College; for the way he welcomed me to the College and supported me as I began my role as the Junior and Middle School Chaplain in 2017. With Dave's departure we have been fortunate to have Mr Chris White, who has competently stepped into the Senior School role to continue the important work of chaplaincy in 2019.

Across the Junior and Middle Schools, I have continued to develop pastoral relationships with the staff, students and families and offer support and pastoral counselling as needs arise. As with any large organisation, the needs are varied and many across the College, and I work with people at the most joyful and challenging of times in their lives.

The 'Eat Up' program has continued this year in the College and mid-year we made the half a million sandwich mark.

The program is now supporting students at schools in Geelong, further afield around Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. This year the focus within our school changed slightly, with the Year 6 students taking ownership of the program and each term participating in the sessions as part of their socialjustice awareness and Christian action by supporting the needs of others who are not so fortunate.

In the Senior School the students have embraced the reinvigorated classroom teaching program for Religious Education, grappling with big questions in Year 9, like, "What is a Good Life?" By studying the most influential worldviews in Australian society (Christianity, Modernism, Postmodern ism and Consumerism) our Year 10s have been equipped to answer the question "Who am I and what is important to me?" This has given them a foundation for dealing with the next question, "What should I do?". Our engagement with practical ethics included, exploring the guidance that we find in the Bible and branching out to explore how that might apply in our lives and what other approaches might be workable.

Marking the significant celebrations and achievements in the College calendar with Chapel services throughout the year has continued to be important; celebrating the beginning and end of the year, reflecting on the meaning of Easter and Christmas within the Christian context and exploring our role as Christians within the College, our local community and the wider world.

We have celebrated our individual gifts and talents and explored how these can be developed to contribute to the world and help make it a better place.

Leading and learning with courage In my first year as Director of Teaching and Learning at this great school, I have been struck by the pride in our rich history, the strength of our community, and the beautiful way in which our students cherish the opportunity to both learn from and contribute to the world.

In their learning programs, schools often find themselves driven by curriculum, assessment and pedagogy. What can sometimes be overlooked in the frenetic pace of learning is the foundational significance of culture. Schools are destined to be successful and positive places when every student is driven to improve and to love learning. We have begun some important work to better understand our culture oflearning, and to evolve that culture for the benefit of all learners. "Culture" is our belief in the need for a shared understanding around our goals and approaches to learning, as well as the behavioural norms and out-workings of that understanding. In all three schools, Junior, Middle and Senior, our staff will be working on a series of projects to address identified goals. Some of those goals, for example, are around cultivating independent, critical-thinking learners, our staff capacity in interpreting learning data, and how we celebrate academic successes. These, among many others, will see us striving to grow an aspirational, resilient and courageous community of learners.

One of the most notable and significant changes to the academic program this year has been the introduction of SEQTA, a student and learning management system, which draws together information on student learning, achievement, attendance and pastoral care.

SEQTA's roll-out across P-12 has begun to provide students and parents with more timely and regular feedback on learning, granular task-specific feedback, and a new look to our semester reports. All of this has, as its central aim, the enhancement of student ownership of their learning and an ability to effectively track student growth over time.

In celebration of Geelong's status as a UNESCO City of Design, the College has been exploring new ways to leverage outstanding local opportunities for students to engage in design-thinking and creative industries. For example, our burgeoning partnership with Geelong Tech School is seeing many of our Middle School students participate in world-leading project work, using the new Tech's facilities and resources.

We are also celebrating the outstanding achievements of our Old Collegians. This year's VCE Art and Design Exhibition included, for the first time, a Young Masters' Exhibition, showcasing the impressive portfolios of young Old Collegians who are pursuing areas such as fashion design and documentary film-making. The Exhibition enabled our Collegians to speak to their work, and share their creative journeys with current senior students.

I am sure that all our students and families would join with me in thanking our wonderful teaching staff, who pour themselves out every day in service of our students. For teachers, it is the chance to partner with young people in their learning that keeps us coming back to this job year after year. What a privilege it is to work in education!

The Geelong College has a long and proud reputation in academic endeavour, innovation and student achievement.

Our Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation (CLRI), established just a few years ago, has a vision for enriching the intellectual tenor of the College, whilst also contributing to the wider educational landscape through public lectures and events and collaborative partnerships.

• James Anderson's work with our Middle School Leaders on Growth Mindset

Our 2019-2020 Strategic Priorities are as follows;

• What teachers and parents need to know about dyslexia, an evening keynote with Dr Daryl Greaves

1. Develop a culture of learning informed by current advances in educational practice.

• The Resilience Project workshops with Years 5-8, plus staff and parents • What your teenage daughter wants to tell you, a workshop with Dr Justin Coulson for parents

The Foundation Staff Fellowship

2. Encourage and engage in research, reflection and thinking that results in a greater understanding of learning.

With deep gratitude to the College Foundation, this year's recipients of the Foundation Staff Fellowship were;

3. Explore, trial and operationalise new programs and practices that have the potential to maximise student learning opportunities.

• Two Junior School teachers, Emma Watters and Charmaine Saraci, travelled to Reggio Emilia in Italy for a 6-day study tour to explore the foundations of our approach to early childhood education.

4. To establish and maintain relationships with communities in the Geelong region.

5. To align communications and marketing to maximise community engagement.

Throughout 2019, our events sought to embrace leading research and contemporary thinking, develop partnerships with key organisations, and to showcase the outstanding work being done in industries outside of our own.

One program we've delivered this year, in partnership with Independent Schools Victoria, is the Year 9 Cognizance Research Project. Believing that few skills or knowledge bases eclipse knowing how to think and how to learn, we presented a series of workshops for all our Year 9 students on metacognition. Delivered by renowned educational neuroscientist and Harvard University graduate, Dr Jared Cooney Horvath (PhD, MEd), the workshops were called "Hacking the Brain". The Year 9 students learned so much from the sessions and many of their teachers experimented in the classrooms with different types of tasks and assessments.

We are proud to be able to continue working with Dr CooneyHorvath throughout 2020 and beyond.

• Peter Blanchfield, our Director of Rowing and a Physical Education teacher, has been undertaking his Masters of Sports Coaching through the University of Queensland.

• Senior School teacher Gerard Donovan has been on exchange for 2019 at Rutland Middle School, in British Columbia, Canada.

Next year the Centre will continue to offer a number of outstanding opportunities for our community to learn and contribute to contemporary educational dialogue.

Some of our other highlights from this year's program include; • Nature Play- Take back childhood, the screening of this important film which explains the important of the outdoors in early childhood development

Community of Care Leadership speaker and author, Sheila Bethel, in her book Making a Difference, has suggested that students "don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care". When students understand that you have a personal interest in their academic achievement and general wellbeing, they are more motivated to succeed.

Effective academic learning within a school context cannot be separated from the exercise of effective pastoral care.

Therefore, a commitment to excellence in academic performance must be accompanied by a commitment to excellence in physical health, social competence and emotional resilience.

Family-school partnerships are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at a school. Effective partnerships are based on mutual trust and respect, and shared responsibility for the education of the children and young people in our school community. The pastoral care for our students extends well beyond the school gates.

The Geelong College is committed to enhancing and strengthening the social, emotional and spiritual development of all students. We recognise that wellbeing is fundamental to learning, and is integral to every aspect of school culture. We seek to ensure students are actively engaged with learning and develop positive and respectful relationships and connections within the school and community.

The Geelong College's Pastoral Care Program includes the following pillars: • Creating a sense of belonging through team building activities, such as working together on service projects.

• Facilitating Peer Support Programs.

• Developing skills and knowledge in order to prevent or address specific problems, such as bullying.

• Tracking individual student progress.

• Enabling early intervention in identifying and dealing with specific needs.

• Celebrating students' achievements and contributions.

• Providing guidance regarding study patterns, peer relations, post-school pathways and opportunities.

• Providing counselling and comfort for students dealing with anxiety, loss or disappointment.

There is recognition that pastoral care and academic progress are inextricably linked. The physical, emotional, cognitive and social elements of a person's life cannot realistically be treated in isolation. What happens in one domain will affect what happens in one or more of the others.

10

Pastoral care is most effective when there is a strong partnership between home and school. Clear two-way communication, reminders and reinforcement (at home and at school) of strategies to support progress, and early intervention in identifying and addressing problems are vital to the effective exercise of pastoral care.

• The provision of good role models both at school and at home.

At The Geelong College, we teach students, not subjects.

Facilitating Knowledge As my three-year tenure as Senior School Leader of Learning comes to an end, it is important to reflect on the purpose of this position and where it sits in the school landscape. A position developed to support teacher professional development and curriculum innovation and growth, it is at the heart of interpreting academic behaviour and performance.

Excitingly, 2019 has seen the consolidation ofnew management at Senior School. With that comes great opportunity for reinvigoration, regeneration or even redevelopment. With a whole school focus on fostering the academic culture over the next three years, the Senior School is moving into an exciting phase of growth and renewal. There is a strong commitment to cultivate a culture of critical and deep thinking and to develop and implement strategies that foster active and aspirational learners, as well as working with staff to establish a professional growth and learning model for all teachers.

Enabling them to establish firm foundations will, in turn, hopefully, foster the development of resilience, expertise and longevity in a challenging yet most rewarding career.

What is blatantly apparent in the contemporary education setting is that as teachers we must, more than ever, consider the rate at which curriculum renewal needs to be undertaken.

We need to adapt our mindset from fount of knowledge to 'facilitators' of knowledge. The skill of the contemporary educator is to find the key to engagement for our learners, to open the door to the world of information.

We need to feed the learners' interests and balance their 'need' to know with their 'want' to know. This involves creating an environment of active learners, who consider their world and their part in it, and empowering them to 'be involved'.

The Leader of Learning at the Senior School will play an important role by continuing to encourage our evolution within contemporary education in a way that is relevant to this community.

The introduction of Foundation Scholarships has fast become a most generous catalyst for teachers to explore global innovations and exemplars of contemporary teaching. This year Gerard Donovan, our much-loved Chemistry teacher, was released on an exchange program to Canada. Whilst we have missed Gerard's calm disposition around our classrooms, House rooms and school grounds, we are sure that what he brings back will enrich the whole school community.

In 2020 three Senior School teachers venture to Finland to explore exemplar models of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) education. Our ambition is to bring such integrated learning approaches across multiple disciplines into our context. Given the success of the Year 10 Future Realities elective introduced this year, the stage is set for some exciting developments as education embraces digital technologies and our future growth areas of design thinking and creativity.

As our average teacher age moves, in sync with global trends, above 50, we are seeing an increasing number of retirements and therefore the employment of much younger teachers into what can be a demanding field. It is critical in this transitional phase that we facilitate the transfer of expertise and knowledge to empower the young teachers. The Victorian Institute of Teachers has established a more formal mentoring approach this year. In line with this we have trained staff in the VIT Mentor Program and established a procedure to ensure our teachers, particularly pre-registered teachers, are supported effectively.

There is always something you can do to help someone. There is always someone who has less than you. Don't think you have nothing.

A message I took away was to always try to be positive and to look at the bright side oflife. Martin told us the story about a boy he knew who couldn't run and had several other difficulties, but was always smiling and was the most happy and positive person he had ever met. This stuck with me. This story really made me think about how I could try to look on the bright side oflife too!

Resilience -I can.

Relationships -I care.

Reflection -Now I see.

This TripleR report for 2019 showcases some of the initiatives which highlight the diversity of ways that the social and emotional wellbeing of our students has been at the forefront of our teaching and learning.

In Junior School, Year 2 Teacher Mr Andrew Schuyler has focussed on helping the children identify their emotions whilst supporting them to understand the impact of their actions on others.

Here are some student reflections on their TripleR sessions: I have enjoyed learning about different emotions. It's ok to be sad sometimes - but when I feel sad I think about riding motor bikes Lachlan Triple R has helped me because I don't get angry at my mum and my sisters - I go and regulate myself by squishing something and sitting mindfully - Lottie

In Senior School, Jane Utting outlines below the diversity of topics addressed in the Triple R sessions for Years 9, 10 and 11: Nutrition and Healthy Eating, Relationships and Sexuality. Drug Education, Personal Safety, Driver Education, Mental Health and Wellness and Bronze Medallion and CPR. Classroom activities were extended by a number of incursions, excursions and guest speakers in Years 9, 10 and 11 where students heard from experts about topics and issues that are current and relevant. These included: VicRoads "Road Smart" Driver Education Program, Robbie Noggler (Victoria Police) presentation, "Cheap Thrills" Drug, Alcohol and Risk-taking Performance, Ambulance Victoria Drug and Alcohol Presentation, ':Just Think" Alcohol Education Program, Teen Mental Health First Aid course, Bronze Medallion and CPR training and testing, "You Just Never Know" Road Safety Program.

Be kind to other people and they will be kind to you - Ollie

In Middle School, Martin Heppel from the Resilience Project helped students to unpack what it means to be resilient. Martin told rich and colourful stories to explain the power of gratitude, empathy, kindness and mindfulness.

Year 4, 5 & 6 Coordinator Mr. Doug Wade and Year 7 Coordinator Ms. Julie-Anne Hussey shared feedback from some of their students:

12

I thought Martin's session was amazing. I took a lot of things from the session but the one that stuck in my brain was that when you practise empathy and kindness you receive happiness. I walked out having experienced probably one of the best talks I have been to.

I would like to thank all staff who have contributed to the development of Triple Rover this very successful year.

"Inclusion is about making everyone feel like they belong, like their voice matters."

Raafi-Karim Aldina, Author and Corporate Consultant

There are many ways that we can demonstrate that the voice of our students matters and makes a difference. Here we showcase two student-led initiatives which reflect their commitment, passion and determination to make a positive contribution to their school community.

Joan Gill, Director of Student Wellbeing

Quid Novi In Term 3 last year, a group of enthusiastic students came together to work on a single project- one that originated from the desire for a student voice amongst our College community.

Always working by the catchphrase of "For the students, by the students", this both represented the Quid Novi editorial team as well as our motivations behind initiating the newspaper in the first place.

The roles played by our writers, artists, photographers and 'meme people' (as we affectionately call them), despite coming from different year levels, Houses and social groups, were equally critical in every issue. The central belief we all shared, however, was our commitment to elucidating and advocating the voices and opinions of our students. Over a single academic year, we published more than 17 issues and have established new Quid Novi School Colours where dedicated students are recognised for their contribution to the newspaper. Published every fortnight, I can certainly say that the Quid Novi editorial team never anticipated our newspaper would reach so widely around the College community.

We would like to thank our readers, the Senior students and staff, for your constant support. Every newspaper needs an audience and Quid Novi would not be what it has become were it not for you. Of course, a big thank you to Mrs McGucken for her help in printing and being the voice of reason behind our editorial team.

The Geelong College Rainbow Alliance (GCRA) The Geelong College Rainbow Alliance (GCRA) is a student-run group aiming to promote inclusivity. Since being founded in the middle of 2018, the GCRA has strived to uphold and promote The Geelong College values of Community with Diversity.

Thanks to the unwavering support of staff and through fortnightly meetings with our student members, the group has developed ways to celebrate and further bolster the school's commitment to its values as well as raising awareness for LGBTQIA+ causes.

This year the GCRA has been involved in creating a variety of events to promote greater awareness and acceptance within the school community, including raising money for the LGBT + charity Switchboard on the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Also celebrated was Wear It Purple Day, where each House room was decorated purple and students wore purple accessories to show their support for queer members of our community.

It's been an absolute pleasure for the Quid Novi team to leave behind a great legacy that will continue to be a cherished part of our school community for years to come.

Starting the GCRA last year, I hoped it would provide a space for all students, regardless of their sexuality or gender, to feel safe and supported. The GCRA has been a great experience to be a part of and I hope it continues to provide support and promote acceptance for the LGBT + members of the College community for years to come.

2019 has been a very successful year for Calvert, with positivity and a go-get attitude among everyone within the House, We started off the year on a high note and from there on, Calvert has seen many ups and downs. However, given the House-wide contribution, the results achieved definitely did not reflect the effort and enjoyment experienced during the year.

Our highly competitive spirit was a direct result of outstanding efforts from all year levels with whole-hearted participation, An exceptional performance by Harriet Jennett and surprise vocal talent Kevin Zhang singing 'Take Me to Church' by Hozier resulted in our small group taking a very exciting 2nd place.

Although the overall House Music placing did not reflect the hard work, time taken and dedication of House prefects to get Calvert ready for the stage, we ended up with a respectable 7th place performing "Does Your Mother Know' by ABBA. While the House swimming competition didn't produce our best results, it was a great day that saw all of us, across all year levels, get enthused and involved in our theme 'Learn2Swim', It was great to see everyone in House Cross Country either running.jogging or walking but most importantly having a go. Through the very busy year we have had lots of smaller House events, with many exciting results. Highlights included our girls' softball team come 1st and our mixed hockey team placing 3rd. Although Calvert's sporting results haven't been consistently successful, everyone would agree the sportsmanship, fun and new-found friendships between year levels made it all worthwhile,

16

Even though there were some outstanding efforts in House events, we are all especially proud of the Calvert House fund raiser, passionately lead by Annabelle Fisher. All money raised through the fund raiser went to the Jodi Lee Foundation in support of ex-collegian Catherine Ross. Annabelle's hard work selling raffle tickets for the prize of a UE Mega boom raised funds going towards much-needed research and treatment for bowel cancer.

On behalf of Calvert we would like to thank Mr D~gostin, Ms Shen, Ms Henricus, Mr Taylor, Ms Maloney and Mrs Foley for being the most amazing tutors, providing us with the support and guidance to help us all through the year. Of course, none of this would have been possible without our special Head of House, Mr Joyce, who keeps Calvert well organised and still provides donuts despite our lack of placings, instead emphasising our inclusive and friendly vibe. We appreciate everything you have done for us and the House, making it such a humbling experience being a part of Calvert, We wish the rest of Calvert the very best of luck for years to come, Keep up the participation and enthusiasm within the House room as well as on and off the sporting field. We are happy to leave the House in good hands and hope you will continue to wear the maroon colours with pride.

2019 was a great year for the Coles' Knights, with our hearts set on that final prize - the Cronk. We were eager to maintain the phenomenal efforts Coles House has upheld in the past and to instil a strong culture for the new students we welcomed.

We started the year in familiar fashion with House Swimming.

Despite working collaboratively to fill all events and a great contribution for our chant, we were proven more suited to land, placing 8th at the end of proceedings. With improvement inevitable and great participation by all House members, we were really pleased to bounce back with a 2nd place overall in the House Cross Country. The determination and efforts of all year levels is something that we have found to be prevalent in Coles and something that we pride ourselves on.

For House Music, Coles put together a rousing effort throughout all rehearsals and in performing on the day, with our small group playing a beautiful rendition of"You've Got the Love" by Florence and the Machine and big group performance of"Don't Stop Believing"

by Journey. We believed we were in a position for a pleasing finish yet again, but were left at the mercy of the judges, finishing 6th overall.

18

Some very competitive efforts in all the smaller events had Coles in good stead all year.

While the winner of the Cronk was clear earlier than expected, we kept ourselves in the mix for the minor placings. We achieved a podium finish in five of the minor events, playing off in the finals for Badminton, Debating and Water Polo. We were really pleased that all outcomes were as a result of team cohesion, rather than individual brilliance.

Accompanying the new Year 9 cohort were some fresh faces among the Tutors in Coles this year, with Ms Read and Mr Cadman joining the Knights. We also had continuing support from Mr Bell, Mrs Porter, and Ms Hynes as Tutors and Mr Cook as our new Head of House for 2019. Coles would not be the caring and friendly House we have found it to be if not for the hard work of Mr Cook and the tutors throughout the year.

On behalf of the Year 12s, we would like to acknowledge Mr Clifford and Mr Morris for being our Year 9 Tutors, as well as Mr Conway for being our Head of House for our first three years in Coles; all gave us insightful knowledge and showed care for their students. We would especially like to thank our tutor for this year, Ms. Hynes. 'Hynesy' has been a kind and inclusive tutor and we are deeply thankful for her help in guiding us through such a vital year for us.

Lastly, we would like to thank our current Head of House and Tutor for Years 10 and 11, Mr. Cook. He has always been an involved and dedicated leader in our lives, teaching us compassion and diligence within all aspects of life.

Back in Term 1 the year ahead looked promising as Keith welcomed a talented bunch of Year 9s. Determined to do even better than our third place finish in the Cronk last year, we took to the tennis courts and softball field united as one, finishing first and second respectively. From then on, our placings went downhill, yet fun times and good memories were never lacking as Keith members forged new friendships and strengthened old ones.

By far the best dressed at House swimming, we swam hard with noticeable mentions going to young guns Ellie Campbell, Audrey Greer and Tom Congdon for podium finishes and to Grace Harris who took Age Champion for the fourth year running. A highlight of the year was when Mr Hodge filled his car with Boss Burgers to bring them to the Years 9 and 12 buddy lunch.

In Term 2 we turned our focus to House music. Led by our very own music guru Jacinta Padanyi, our small group performed "Electric Love" by Borns and were, in our humble opinion, robbed of-first place. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our big group performance, which despite a fun-filled performance of'One Way or Another' by One Direction, lacked pitch and consequently finished in 8th place.

20

Keith looked to gather some momentum heading into the Year 12's last competing term. Strong performances from both soccer teams saw us finish second overall. A heartbreaking loss in penalties for the boys' team prevented a top place, but Keith took great confidence from this podium finish. Unfortunately, the boys football team were unable to capitalise on this momentum, as some costly skill errors saw them win one out of a possible three games, and consequentially not advancing into the final. Keith's mixed water polo team fought valiantly against eventual premiers Shannon but were unable to steal the win after a fast start.

The House used profits from our bake sale to support the wonderful work of the Leukemia Foundation, in support of our very own Alex Bond who shaved off his hair for "The World's Greatest Shave".

A special thank you to Mr Hodge, who starred in his first full year as Head of House, and our incredibly hardworking tutors Mr Kovacev, Ms Pelletier, Mr Ebeling, Mr Smith, Mrs Treadwell, Mr Blanchfield and Ms Wiltshire for the power of work they have done this year.

While the year may not have been as successful in regard to the Cronk as this proud group would have liked, our endeavour and spirit did not falter once, and the enjoyment each member of Keith took from this year means more than wins and losses.

Coming into 2019, the McArthur House Room was abuzz with the determination to make sure the year ahead was a great one.

2019 has been a very successful year for McArthur with many successes in the minor events and mixed results in the major four House events. We proved this year, that through our closeknit family culture in McArthur we were able to string together a cohesive unit and strive for fantastic results while enjoying the challenges along the way.

With a new eager, passionate group of leaders, McArthur was in for a great year. It began with a smooth transition welcoming the Year 9 students and numerous other new students to the House. All students settled in quickly and the excitement and enthusiasm began to boil.

Our efforts in the pool were just shy ofa podium finish with 5th place, with yet again being "robbed" of House chant victory.

Despite the slow start in the pool, we immediately bounced back into good form in the minor events. We finished the Term with strong performances in badminton, softball and tennis and a terrific win in House Cricket.

Before we knew it Term 1 was over and House Music was at the front of our minds with practice every week from the start of Term 2. We aspired to win three in a row. With the brilliant Maggie Gilby and Henry Parks leading the vocals in small group with a strong backing from the rest of the group, our performance of'Never Tear Us Apart' was bound to leave the audience speechless. Unfortunately, our goals of gold fell short to an unexpected win from Shannon. This did not take anything away from everyone's dedication and enthusiasm with all contributing 110%.

Cross country brought with it a strong performance from across the House with nearly everyone participating and exceptional performances by many students. Everyone's amazing teamwork and effort placed us a respectable 4th overall.

In Term 3 McArthur continued with strong performances in the minor events with wins in hockey, and soccer for both boys and girls, followed by a tight 1-point loss in the basketball grand final and strong efforts in water polo and football.

We ended the year on an extremely positive note, stringing it all together when it mattered, finishing on top in House Athletics. Special mentions go to those high performers in their age groups Eliza Walsh, Mitch Taylor, Charlie Lazzaro, Sam Witherden, Emily Williams and Catie Hodge.

We would like to thank all the McArthur students for their contribution to making McArthur the House it is. This year would not have been possible without your optimism or the help of our fantastic tutors. And finally, a massive thankyou to Mr Taylor who constantly pushes us to try our best and make good decisions!

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

This year, McLean members have been great in making what has been one of McLean's best years since the foundation of the House. Beginning with the revival of the "Heads up, Hearts open" motto, we knew McLean would be in for a year of great fun and success. There is hope that the motto will now be passed on and be a tradition kept in the House for years to come.

With a couple of wins including the House swimming chant, House Music Big Group and coming 3rd in House cross country, McLean has put their best efforts in this year, with the House recording its highest participation rates out of the last four years. A few highlights included the amazing House basketball win for the boys as well as remaining House debating champs for two years in a row, along with some amazing efforts put in by individuals in House athletics and other smaller House events.

McLean also had the privilege of raising nearly $400 for TLC Ambulances, a charity that provides for great experiences for children in palliative care. We hope this will become a longstanding relationship with what is such a good cause!

Thank you to all the Year 12s who have helped lead and organise the House this year, it has been wonderful to work alongside all of you. Without your hard work, none of McLean's success would be possible. We appreciate every single one of you who stepped up to the challenge of organising endless House events. You should all be very proud. It has been great spending the past four years with you all and we're sure you'll have many more amazing experiences to come!

24

A big thanks to all the tutors who have helped look after their tutorial groups throughout the year, especially Ms Mahoney, thank you for four years of fond memories, interesting experiences and lots of laughs. Thank you, Mrs Barnes; we have been very lucky to have you as our Head of House and you will be greatly missed next year!

McLean will be in good hands in 2020 with the next group of Year 12s and we wish them luck for what will be another good year for McLean. No matter what, it's an absolute guarantee that every member of McLean will always go forward with their heads up and their hearts open!

Morrison had an enthusiastic start to 2019, which would not 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 1 ls being led by the newly emerged Year 12s, we were prepared to lead the House to yet another successful yea~

Mrs Jackman did an amazing job of preparing the Year 1 ls for their first year ofVCE, with the introduction of weekly House themes to inspire others. Mr Kristiansen took the Year 10s, helping them with their busy schedule. Ms Green welcomed Ms Gibbs and together they nurtured the Year 9s, welcoming them into the everyday routine of Senior School.

We began with a notable 4th place in the swimming pool; shout out to Year 12s Pia Falk, Zoe Sandner and James Paterson for once again having a strong competition.

We cannot go without thanking Mr Flanagan for his gargantuan efforts and dedication to our House; always encouraging us to do our best and work as a collective Morrison House. We thank him for his many years of service to Morrison and wish him well as he joins another House next year. Morrison was delighted to finish second place in the run for the Cronk Trophy and it has been an incredible year. Best ofluck for Morrison's success to continue into 2020. Go Morrie!

Term 2 began with House Music. Morrison's big group performed KT Tunstall's 'Suddenly I See' while our small group performed a cover of Ocean Alley's 'Baby Come Back', overall coming home with a well-deserved 2nd place. A huge thanks to everyone involved.

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, 'Mums and Dads' brought out Morrie's spirit and athletic finesse, and everyone was getting behind the mighty Eagles with pride. Our very own Zac Norton represented Morrison as he soared across the finish line in first place for the starting 1500m event, followed by Georgia Mclellan, Cecilia and Sophia Powers, Zoe Sander, Kate Dowling and James Paterson also making notable placings in Age championships on the day.

A strong third place finish concluded the day and left Morrison in a confident place to continue climbing the ladder.

26

The Morrie camaraderie was strongly sustained through our buddy activities and many 'Pako' lunches, not to mention the immeasurable contributions of our wonderful tutors. Ms Bain and Mr Bauer looked after the Year 12s during a difficult and stressful year, keeping the students calm with fun activities and discussions.

Coming straight off the Cronk win last year, Shannon was determined to prove that we could win the cup once again. With a great group ofnewYear 12 leaders and Mrs Smith as Head of House, we were sure our year was going to be successful. Our Year 9s soon learned a focus on participation was the key to bringing home trophies.

Shannon began the year with its annual Valentine's Day Fundraiser, Big efforts from all the tutorial groups organised hundreds of carnations, lollipops and chocolates along with friendly messages to be delivered to the House rooms, We raised $1500 which was donated to RedKite, an organisation that supports children and young people with cancer, in recognition of the journey ofa former Shannon member and his family.

A few weeks later House Swimming came around with Shannon sporting the theme of'Other School Uniforms.' All year levels got on board with Geelong Grammar, Sacred Heart and St Josephs' uniforms all making significant appearances. The Year 12 girls medley relay appeared to be swum by four Caulfield students in their matching bathers. Overall, the day was extremely successful with many Shannon members featuring in Age Champion placings contributing to us winning the event.

28

After the break, Shannon came back stronger than ever, proving that participation is the key to winning House Cross Country. Strong performances from the Year 9 girls and Year 11 boys helped secure yet another win for Shannon. Not long after, intense House Music rehearsals began. Coming off a disappointing placing last year, we were serious about climbing the ranks by 'standing tall' and 'facing it all together.' Our Small Group, consisting of lily Edwards, Louisa Bath, Lachlan Houen, Matthew Thacker, Douglass Bell, Jana Gleeson, Nicholas O'Brien, Samuel Rowbottom and Connor Pawsey won best Small

Group with their rendition of Adele's 'Skyfall'; an impressive performance, Together with second place with our Big Group; 'Summer Nights', Shannon had won its third consecutive major House event of2019!

Smaller House events including football, basketball and junior netball, were also brought home by the mighty navy blue, proving that Shannon really was the House to beat this year.

Towards the end of Term 3, the Year 12s ran our annual House lunch where pizzas and sushi were enjoyed while activities like heads or tails along with trivia were conducted. This was a chance for all year levels to mix and get to know each other.

After an extremely busy period of SACs for Year 12s, the term concluded with House Athletics. Bearing looks of double denim with a side of glitter, we were sure to be the most fashionable.,. and daggy House of the day. Placing fourth overall, Shannon came away from the final House event feeling proud of their huge efforts throughout the year, culminating in bringing home the Cronk.

Such a fantastic year in Shannon would not have been possible without Mr Smith, Mrs Watson, Mrs Filling, Ms Sampson, Mr Hunt, Madame Kayler-Thomson and Madame Chabant; our amazing tutors, and of course the fabulous Mrs Smith as Head of House, Another thank you goes to the House Prefects; Emily Brussow, Jessica Loftus, Lily Edwards, Olivia Porte, Hannah Walker, Will Page, Ben Searle and all other Year 12s whose efforts made this year so successful and enjoyable.

As we wish you all the best for the future, we ask that you wear your navy blue with pride as you continue your journey through Shannon, a House that for us, feels like a second home.

2019 has been another fantastic and exciting year for Wettenhall, led by the always encouraging and supportive Ms Hallows. The year was filled with many successes and we have been lucky enough to lead this wonderful House in our last year of school and to have had so much fun along the way.

Upon the arrival of the new Year 9s, we were all keen to see what fresh talent Wettenhall had brought in. Their bright new faces at the beginning of the year were refreshing and it was nice to see many of them instantly eager to participate in all House events.

Wettenhall's 2nd place in swimming got us off to a good start in the competition for top of the Cronk. After seeing the contribution from the Year 9s, Wettenhall's year looked very promising. In House music we worked hard on our rendition of'Walking on Sunshine' to give a polished performance. The small group's amazing cover of'I Put a Spell on You', with lead vocalists Emily O'Brien and Holly Barnes, held the audience spellbound. Our fantastic performances secured a third place in small group and third place overall. Wettenhall finished runnersup in the football with contributions by students from Years 9 to 12. Wettenhall are blessed with a wealth of athletic talent and finished 2nd by 4 points in Athletics. Ashleigh Rodgers, Hamish Poulter and Cassidy Bradshaw were outstanding, and all won Age Champion. Wettenhall finished a strong 4th in the Cronk.

Wettenhall continued our close association with Vinnies, with Years 9, 10 and 11 visiting the South Geelong centre to learn more about the organisation and to assist in the sorting and pricing of donated clothes.

On behalf ofWettenhall, we would like to thank our supportive and always encouraging tutors. Ms Leyshon and Ms Utting with Year 9, Mr Morgan with Year 10, Mr Robbins with Year 11 and Madame Tymms, an always inspiring tutor for Year 12s.

Finally, we would like to wish Wettenhall the very best for the years to come. We are confident that the House will continue to thrive and that next year will be just as exciting and full of awesome achievements.

Life in Mackie this year has been a blast. We experienced enjoyable times throughout the year, lost some valued members of our boarding family and stuck with each other through thick and thin. The year started off with heaps of fun-filled activities led by the 2019 prefects. These included soccer games on Mackie oval, Thursday or Friday night dinner barbecues with the Mossgiel girls and many get-to-know-you games.

We enjoyed a number of ripping outings including to Adventure Park, surfing at Torquay, stand-up paddle boarding at Barwon Heads, tree-surfing in the Otways and go-karting in Melbourne.

We devoured Yum Cha in Chinatown and were entertained by the theatrical play "Come from Away". These activities made life in Mackie a wonderful experience and added excitement.

Sadly, we farewelled a couple of lads during the year; Wamud Phillips (Year 12) headed home to Arnhem Land, Gabi Lam (Year 8) left to study in England and Campbell Keeler returned to his family on King Island. These boys have been missed by the boarding family.

A highlight for the year that will be remembered for a long time, was the 2nd annual Rurals vs Urbans football match. This was held on ANZAC day following a trip to Eastern Beach for the morning service. The match is played between the 'Rural' lads and the 'Urban' dwellers from our ranks. It was a fun day all round with the Urban team running away with the victory. This was a highlight for all of the boys who participated; everyone had a grin from ear-to-ear at the end of the match.

Leaving the House for me, is going to be very difficult. Mackie has been my life for the past three years and has had a huge impact on the way I have turned out. All of the tutors and the boys who have been in Mackie throughout my journey have really helped me become who I am. I have not only made memories that are going to stay with me forever, but I am also going to have to say goodbye to my second family: 50 brothers, six uncles (tutors), a mother (Mrs Jeffreys) and a father (Mr Gilby). All have had a huge influence on my life so far and one that I will be forever grateful for.

I would like to personally thank everyone involved with Mackie who has contributed to the way in which all of the boys have enjoyed their experience. I am going to miss the culture and friendly nature that Mackie provides. Hopefully, the Year 12s have left a legacy that will be continued for many years to come.

Whether you are a local, interstate or international student, leaving home is never easy, and even as a Year 12 who has already spent her last three and a half years here, I can say with confidence that it never really gets easier. But when you "return" to a community as warm as Mossgiel, the gnawing feelings of homesickness or loneliness really do disappear when you live in such a fun-filled and supportive community.

Of course, living with 40 other girls is no easy feat and just like any family, we too, occasionally, have little incidents or issues that nudge us off our good-humoured balance. But again.just like any family, there is nothing that the Mossgiel girls together, cannot resolve or overcome.

If I had to pick a highlight for Mossgiel this year, it would undoubtedly be performing "Blame it on the Boogie" together with Mackie as a surprise performance during House Music, There were many times this year when, as captain, I felt like a proud older sister, Whether it is when one of the 'MOZZY G' (as we so endearingly call ourselves) was awarded for her excellence in academics or sports, or the mundane acts of kindness I see every day, I cannot recall a time when I was prouder than seeing the two boarding houses singing our hearts out in such great harmony.

Other great memories were our weekend outings - go-karting, yum-cha in Melbourne or watching the amazing show 'Come From Away' at the Comedy Theatre just to name a few, as well as our boarders' family weekend, having 'make your own pizza' nights and our fabulous Mexico Fiesta formal at the end of Term 2.

Besides having a wonderful group of girls, Mossgiel would not be what it is if our tutors (Mr Conway, Ms Jackman, Ms Leyshon, Mrs Maisie Barlow, Ms Penny Nielsen and Miss Kylie Vokic) were not as funny, easy-going and helpful as they are, A special thanks must go to Mrs Knight for being such a supportive and thoughtful 'mother'. From getting us Coco Pops and Fruit Loops, or avocado and sourdough for breakfast, to lending a helping hand when we are stressed about our schoolwork, to just simply being there when we are having a bad day. She really is everything any girl could wish for as a Head of House, I also cannot forget to thank Pip, Sarah, Matilda and Pia for always having my back and always being collaborative on everything from ideas for the formal to the designs for the Mossgieljumper. Being a prefect and a captain would not have been so stress-free was it not for all of your hard work as well.

I love how close we've all become as a team, Being the captain and as a member of Mossgiel for the last four years has been an absolute pleasure. I have made such close friendships with people I otherwise would never have met, especially the girls in the lower year levels. Graduating from high school is invariably bittersweet, but leaving Mossgiel as well is almost like leaving two precious pieces of memory behind all at once!

Year 10 Politics Filled with exposes, scrutinising questions and hot topics, the two-day Politics Program gave Year 10s the opportunity to enjoy a fast-paced, albeit stressful, political life.

The media team took advantage of every comment, no matter how insignificant it was. As someone who spoke for my party, I had to be calm and composed when answering questions because the media had you cornered if you contradicted yourself or your party. Their presence was far more influential than any of us had predicted. Although we all knew they were just exposing the truth, it reminded us of the huge implications of small actions. Some things we unconsciously do can alter others' opinions of us, and the media took full advantage of this.

We all enjoyed having the 'Big Conversations' on race and immigration. At first I was disappointed at the policies some parties have towards people of colour, especially those of Islamic beliefs. As a year group, we all united and acknowledged the xenophobic comments that some of our federal politicians have stated and we rejected these racist values. The media's role in condemning these prejudiced statements was integral.

When our Year 10 group had conversations (in the form of question time), I was proud of our ability to recognise the racism in today's politics and how we can stamp it out by supporting our peers. I am in awe of some of the individuals in Year 10 for their bravery in combating the values of some political parties and I know everyone in our cohort is proud to stand alongside them.

Filled with laughter and personal learning, the Year 10 Politics Program was an incredible two days that highlighted the leaders and the legends of Year 10. Huge thanks to K-Flan (a.k.a Mr Flanagan) and Mr Bauer for ensuring that we all had an awesome experience.

Debating Debating has always been an extremely rewarding co-curricular activity and 2019 was no exception. My sixth and final year of debating again saw high participation in all year levels, and the breadth of young talent rising through the divisions is exciting for the years to come.

This year, our debaters were exposed to a wide range of topics, exploring very important social and political issues of national and international importance. These included topics as diverse as the banning of sweat shops and the legalising of pill testing at music festivals. Such debate not only leads to confident and intelligent public speaking but also to the development ofwellrounded individuals.

Under the exceptionally capable guidance of Ms Mahoney and Mrs Green, teams across all divisions debated with passion and skill. They grappled with issues and listened to the arguments of others. This is a large part of what makes debating so worthwhile.

D Grade had an interesting year, with one team unfortunately debating only twice all season due to a disappointingly high number of opposition forfeits. We had to admire their resilience, as having prepared entire debates only to be cancelled at the very last minute is a feeling no one enjoys.

C Grade harbours a wealth of talent, anchored by James Afford, and their efforts paid off with some deserved wins. B Grade tackled the sheer terror that is the first year of secret topics with dignity, skill and broad general knowledge. Daunting as it may be, the teams juggled this new format as well as their first year ofVCE in an impressive fashion, and it will be exciting to see how far the many talented speakers can go in the A grade division next year. The leadership of the debating cohort is in exceptionally good hands in 2020.

A Grade has been a wild ride for the eleven Year 12 students passionate enough to take on the balancing act that is SAC revision and debating commitments. For many of us, this was our sixth year, having tentatively signed ourselves up to try it in Year 7 with Ms Zeravica and never looking back. Though we did not make it to the finals, unlike our other years in the competition, the growth we have made during the many years we have debated was evident in everyone's speaking.

To Iona Bulford, Jacqui Greer, Oliver Courtnay, Connor and Ethan McGucken, Jialin Miao, Luke Grana, Oliver Soo, Taylor Miller and Luke McCoy, it has been an absolute pleasure arguing obscure and important issues with you. I am certain that the skills we have learnt through debating will benefit us enormously in our diverse and exciting futures.

Congratulations to all debaters who were awarded Best Speaker throughout the season: Oliver Soo, Jacqui Greer, Antonia Bowlen, Iona Bulford, Oliver Courtnay, Lachlan Houen, Sophia Powers, Jasper Harris, James Afford and Cecilia Powers.

As for any other school year, the teaching approaches and learning offerings at the Middle School have continued to evolve and change across 2019. Teachers continue to challenge themselves and their students as they constantly design, refine and evaluate termly programs, units of work and daily lessons.

I thank all Middle School staff for their commitment to providing such rich learning experiences for the young children in our care.

There are many examples of the constant innovation that has occurred this year, all with the purpose to engage our students as active learners. The Year 8 Elective Program expanded its offerings, giving children greater choice and flexibility.

An additional subject choice was made available in the Year 7 Learning to Learn program, and the traditional 'Boats Unit' in Term 4 took a Science and Technology turn to become the 'Solar Boats Challenge'.

Year 6 students took their learning off site a number of times, including a visit to the Melbourne Science Works to complement their Astrology Inquiry Unit. Year S's spent time at the Islamic Museum to inform classwork completed in Literacy, Humanities and Religious and Values Education. I had the opportunity to be a part of the Year 4 Biodiversity Audit in Term 3, where in small groups we identified the number of Australian native and introduced plants across the entire Preparatory Campus. The Year 4's also recorded any wildlife observed on our grounds. The work done by this Enviro-focused team has helped ensure the College earned their first Resource Smart Star as a part of our sustainability pledge.

Fostering a culture ofrespect, courtesy and kindness continues to be reinforced at Middle School. How we treat each other, caring for others and making a contribution is, and should be, a focus for the children of Middle School age. Our regular TripleR lessons, along with guest presenters such as The Resilience Project, Brainstorm Productions and Family Planning Victoria, all reinforce the important message of caring for self and others.

Establishing who they are, as learners and as members of the College and broader community, is a crucial part of the development of our students. It is always a great privilege for me, and the teaching staff, to be a part of promoting and supporting the personal growth of all Middle School children.

64

It has been another year of growth at the Middle School, with the SW's driving our cultural change.

Who. Knowing our students and the challenges they face.

For our learners and staff to fully engage with their learning they require a sense of ownership. For this reason, our Year 8 Electives Program has undergone fundamental restructuring to provide even greater freedom, choice and time to explore. We were also proud to see the introduction of the student driven Rainbow Alliance. The school values of respect, courage and diversity were visible and active in its members as they began to explore issues of equity and identity.

What. As guides, our staffneed to be experts in the art of learning.

Experiential learning, educational networking and simple upskilling have featured regularly in the professional development of all Middle School staff. The Year 5 team have been particularly active in this area. With an infectious sense of wonder when it comes to all things Makerspace, curriculum and design technology, they have continued to enrich their program and provide opportunities for other staff to share in their learning.

Where. The evolution of our learning spaces has continued.

As programs have grown and adapted, our needs have changed, requiring constant review, consultation and flexibility. In areas like the Year 4 Enviro Program, this has manifested itself in the form of pop-up gardens that respond to seasonal change and learning foci. Through this and other areas of learning, the Middle School has continued to value the importance of play and exploration as a provider of fundamental 'skills like creativity, innovation, teamwork, focus, resilience, expressiveness, 'empathy, concentration and executive function.'

(Sahlberg and Doyle, 2018) When. Year 7, the time of transition.

We have continued to develop the Learning to Learn program as a focus for the learning behaviours, beliefs and values of our own Vision for Learning. With team teaching at the core, it is constantly evolving and sees student feedback and choice as crucial to the process. Our learning team has entered into the challenging and often uncomfortable position of learners, expecting as much from themselves as they do of our learners.

66

Why. To have agency, our students need to learn through learning experiences that are meaningful and relevant to them.

The Year 6 team saw 2019 as a perfect opportunity to investigate why we need to learn about Earth and Space and how we can use this knowledge for the benefit of all living things.In this context, students were given voice and freedom to choose how they learn. The broader school community celebrated their results and showed that student choice can not only work hand in hand with academic rigour, but enhance it.

Year 8 at The Geelong College is a year of opportunities.

Students are fortunate to have a variety of learning experiences in their final year at the Middle School. It is a time of exploration, consolidation and adventure!

As senior students, the Year 8s are known as leaders, and given opportunities to be role models and to lead by example in their day to day interactions within our Middle School community.

Many take on the position of formal leadership roles, leading houses, sports, music and the Student Representative Council.

The Year 8 cohort began the year on their Triple R Retreat, where they completed activities with their homerooms to get to know one another. The way in which these students collaborated and communicated was exceptional-they supported one another, both in and out of the classroom to achieve a common goal. This was also evident in their group Cyber Safety task in Term 2; students worked together to teach an important interactive lesson to the Year 6 and 7 students.

Core subjects from Year 7 were continued as students consolidated their skills as learners and further explored each of the major disciplines. A highlight for Year 8 students was the opportunity to select elective subjects and diversify their studies, in addition to their core subjects. Students chose from an extensive list of varied and hands on electives, some with a core basis, others integrated across disciplines. Paddock to Platter, Marine Biology, Laneways Street Art, Fl in Schools, Mind, Body and Soul, In the Zone, Photobomb, Robocup and The Great Outdoors were just some of the electives on offer.

Each elective had a full-day immersion each semester. Learning across the range of electives also provided opportunities for new friendships to develop outside of the homeroom. The Year 8 Production, Seussical, was the culmination of one elective; a major highlight for the Year 8 cohort.

Cre8 was a wonderful learning opportunity whereby students worked alongside a mentor to develop their skills in an area of passion. The Cre8 Expo and final celebration was a great success and an opportunity for students to show off their new creations and skills.

A major highlight was Year 8 Camp. The eight day expedition in and around Cape Otway helped to develop students' perseverance and resilience, and form long-lasting friendships.

Year 8 is the peak of the Middle School journey, rich with opportunities to excel, be rewarded and challenged both in and out of the classroom.

There have been many opportunities for unique learning experiences outside the classroom in the form of incursions and excursions. Students were fortunate to hear from Martin Heppell at the Resilience Project, Jonny Shannon and Robbie Noggler. They have been out and about at Lizard Island, on coastal Geography excursions, and some even saw the Terracotta Warriors at NGV.

67

''And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!" As the current Year 7 cohort embarked on their journey at Middle School, this question was, in some way, at the forefront of everyone's mind.

It is with confidence, that I believe our Year 7 students have surpassed Dr Seuss' predictions.

Year 7 is a year that is built on relationships. When embarking on any new venture we need to trust ourselves to take risks, navigate expectations, tap into all offerings and find our feet.

Our Year 7 community has had the confidence to step outside their comfort zone and create a "trademark" that reflects who they truly are. Drama and Music are integral to the establishment of self-confidence and many students commented that they surprised themselves with what they achieved.

As students build their self-efficacy, it is through the connections with teachers that new horizons are explored and dreams ignited. Rome Day incursion, our Boats Unit and ponding experiences have all offered opportunities to challenge and nurture students and facilitate strong relationships with staff. Immersion days for L2L and numerous excursions have also enhanced this connection.

Fundamental to the success of our Year 7 program is the establishment of relationships with peers. Our mentor program provided the foundation for students to connect as well as through APS Sport. Marysville camp and elective based L2L classes students have forged friendships beyond homerooms.

House events and involvement in the SRC provided access for students to connect across year levels.

Our students also explored their relationships in a digital space and their relationships with technology. Cyber safety sessions, as facilitated by our Year 8 students, were extremely well received. So too was the incursion and presentation from Brainstorm Productions entitled 'The Flipside'.

Through commemorative assemblies, school-based celebrations and community events, our Year 7 cohort have found their place in the College Alumni, acknowledging our history and heritage.

68

Finally, as our Year 7 students prepare to enter Year 8, I encourage them to pause and realise that "sometimes you will not know the value ofa moment until it becomes a memory."

Dr Seuss

the First Lego League. Many parents and teachers have viewed the amazing Year 5 creations and students have presented their work at the National Educational Summit and the National STEM conference.

In the Year 4,5,6 area there are many events that will live with the students for the rest of their lives. Students are given the opportunity to make connections with their peers and teachers, the environment, technology, their learning and on numerous occasions they get the chance to show their learning to classmates, other students at Geelong College, parents and teachers from other schools.

The overarching question in Year 4 is 'How can we create a good tomorrow?' The learning activities encouraged the students to develop a greater understanding of themselves, their peers and the world in which they live. Through working together in the garden, whilst cooking, building cubbies and ponding they learnt how to interact positively and look after each other. This also provided the opportunity to learn important lessons about sustainability, the interdependence of living things in their local environment, the changes to their place over time and a realisation that the Earth's resources are finite. There were many other tasks, visitors, excursions and experiences that intertwined their learning of numeracy and literacy that made the Enviro a unique educational journey.

In Year 5 the 'Designing the Future' idea encouraged students to show initiative, become resourceful and develop persistence in working through project-based investigations.

They planned, designed, tested, modified and retested their projects and showcased their learning for peers to view and provide constructive feedback. The students also tested their programming skills by taking part in Robocup competitions and

In today's world we are continually bombarded with digital information and the Year 6 program created learning experiences that enabled all students to communicate through a variety of platforms for various audiences, and to develop the skills and attitudes necessary for them to become responsible Digital Citizens. The students continued the process of working with others when working with their production crew to create films. The students were given greater responsibility and independence. This is evident during the TED - style project where they were given the opportunity to present their work to a live audience of their peers, family and school community. The 'Out Of This World Expo' was another important event where students showed their learning. In Year 6, students developed the confidence to create and share important stories to a variety of audiences - peers, parents, teachers and the wider school community.

In the Year 4,5,6 classes students developed skills, ideas, attitudes and capabilities that are important building blocks for the rest of their lives.

Incursions and Excursions We had the great privilege to have the International Slam Poet Champion, Luka Lesson perform for us at Middle School.

This was a great learning point in our Year 8 English journey as we began to learn about poetry writing. Slam poetry is a competitive arts event, where poets perform spoken word poetry in front of a live audience and five judges. The day was a great success with Luka performing multiple of his world class poems to us. This demonstrated to us how to effectively write and perform slam poetry at a high level and "I thought it was very insightful. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience," Agnes Ambrose, SA student

On the 24th of May, the Year B's travelled to Western Victoria to learn about our geological history. We visited Mount Elephant near Derrinallum; which is one of the best examples of a breached scoria cone in Victoria, ifnotAustralia, At Mount Shadwell we were lucky enough to experience what it is like to be a geologist. Mining for our own olivine, a rare mineral, was a unique experience. Out in the field, we learnt about these extinct giants and were able to visualise firsthand how they have evolved and changed over time. We thought that "It gave us a real-life example of what we have been learning about. All in all, it was an amazing day and I was thankful that we had this opportunity."

Hugh Hamilton

The purpose of a coastal excursion to Point Lonsdale and Queenscliffwas to understand longshore drift and erosion of sand dunes. We went to the Rip View Look Out and learnt about rips, currents and observed the sea wall and groynes, Knowledge of long shore drift and the area was shared by Vic Fisheries and Janine from the Council. She helped us to understand how to protect the sand dunes by tree matting. We contributed to this effort by making a human train to carry the trees down to the dunes and planting native grasses.

Poetry in action As the year draws to a close, It's 8B's time to discuss the topic we chose: Poetry and creative writing. It was sure engaging and exciting!

We studied various techniques and styles, Some poems we read left us with large, grinning smiles.

We drafted and planned and edited until the end of the day, Just trying to work out how to get across what we'd say!

8B's creativity has been on display since day dot, Capturing the emotions of school and whatnot.

Our teachers have encouraged us to explore and discover, We cannot wait to delve deeper and continue to uncover!

Will Hoare wrote about being a Lord and what is human ambition, He wrote with purpose and made that his mission, Sienna Sorensen explored the idea of love among her friends, And discovered that it will certainly never end.

Libby Clifford wrote a powerful piece about our thinking and reflections. How to make sure we speak up and seek help in our directions.

Charlie Cox joked around with an insight into his morning routine (It sounds like his room in the morning is very, very clean!), Angus Steel wrote a handful ofhaikus and small musings That showcased the techniques he had learned and been using.

And finally, Mia Kemp, provoked emotive power from a postcard Of two boys behind tanks, in a battlefield left scarred, We in 8B have been beyond privileged and blessed to learn, listen and engage in so many topics on our schooling quest.

As we look back on this year, and all our work in pairs and teams, we can reflect on words, such as Ted O'Malley's poem, 'Dreams': "Dreams save us from what we fear to do and challenge us to do what we cannot" So let's continue to give this year everything we've got!

Diversity & Inclusion In 8C we have students who are from countries all around the world. Four people have come from an Asian country such as Korea, China and Vietnam. Six people are from European countries; Ireland, England, Croatia, Scotland and Italy. Only one person has originated from The United States of America and sixteen, which is the majority of the class, have come from Australia. These statistics show how diverse our class is from a cultural and ethnic background. lfwe could record every aspect of difference it would really show just how diverse the people in this class are. If this is just one class, imagine how diverse everyone in the whole, entire grade/school/ city/state/country and the world might be!

What does diversity mean? We think it means understanding that everyone is unique and recognizing and celebrating our individual differences. By having a broader understanding of everyone's diversity we can understand and adapt our ways of thinking and include them into friendships and activities which would allow us to celebrate their unique background, culture, beliefs and preferences. Diversity means a lot to our education, because from it we learn about different countries and cultures. This gives us a wider opportunity for friendships and relationships with more people.

There are many ways to include everyone; we can be more inclusive by inviting everyone in games and make friends with new people instead of excluding them or ignoring them. We should accept everyone and realise that everyone is unique in his or her own way. As a class we could play games that get everybody involved and allow everybody to share things about their past and background. With everybody knowing just something more about each other in the class, it would really help the class communicate and work together. By celebrating diversity, it allows us to connect with the people around us, learn better, communicate better, work better and be better people all together.

A Year of Opportunities From the very beginning of the year the students of 8D embraced the opportunities which were presented to them, By embracing these opportunities and seeking others, their final year of Middle School has been one of amazing growth, "Opportunities are like sunrises, Ifyou wait too long, you miss them." William Arthur Ward

The Triple R retreat day helped the students overcome fear of heights and rely on each other for encouragement to take the next step or seek the best path, 8D students started to develop a bond with each other which continued to grow for the remainder of the year, On Shrove Tuesday, Sophie decided to make pancakes for all to share and then at the end of Lent we exchanged Easter eggs, Each of these gestures of giving and sharing were indicative of the awareness and care the students of8D had for each other.

Many took up the commitment and challenge of the wonderful Year 8 Production; Max, Oliver, Sophie, Georgia P, Sabrina, Georgie C, and Takoda. This required significant time, energy and determination and was very rewarding, Lewis, Molly, Angus, Sophie, Georgie and Takoda grew wiser in their understanding of their place on our planet and the integral connections between our environment and people as they explored Lizard Island.

Many students from 8D highly valued their learning in the elective options developing skills in 3D Printing, deepening their understanding of Geology by visiting Mt Elephant, wearing side-mikes in the production or extending their knowledge of computer intelligence apps or the science of the human body in the subject 'In-the-zone," "Teachers open the doors, but you must enter by yourself."

Chinese Proverb

As we farewell the students of 8D, we thank them for the wonderful memories they have created, We are humbled, as teachers, to have been but a small part of their journey. We are confident they are well prepared to approach their future with eyes wide open, ears ready to listen and hearts tender to the needs of those around them.

Heroes Inspirational individuals provide Year 8 students with examples of excellence in various parts of their specific careers. As students, we are able to learn from these individuals through observing their commitment, drive and resilience to succeed.

We aim to apply these qualities at school, to get the best possible outcomes for ourselves and peers, These behaviours can support us through the tough days and to continue to grow stronger through our challenges.

Many inspiring individuals demonstrate leadership in their fields.

We can apply these qualities at school by being role models to our peers, by leading the way in the classroom and in the yard, Stepping up and out of our comfort zone and trying new things, will assist us in growing as individuals, We can recognise special qualities in individuals who inspire us: • Michelle Obama (Activist) - "She inspires me because she's worked so hard in life for the things in which she believes."

• Fredrick Chopin (Musician) - "he inspires me because he was very persistent with composing music and playing the piano."

• Teagan Philip (Athlete) - "she inspires me because she was from Geelong and she made it to the big league."

• Yvette Jenner (Teacher) - "she inspires me because she always knows how to relate to people so well."

• Ian Scott (Grandpa) - "he inspires me because he has taught me many life skills and has been there for me in hard times."

In 8E, we recognise a hero as somebody who we look up to for their achievements or admirable qualities. A hero can't be contained to a set of characteristics because everyone has different aspirations. A hero doesn't have to be someone famous and rich, but someone who inspires us to improve each day. Heroes are all around us, in magazines and at the front of the classroom, A hero is simply someone who encourages to bring out the best in us in any given situation.

Social Justice This year in Religious and Values Education we learnt about social justice and the role each ofus can play in helping promote equal access to wealth, health, well-being.justice, and opportunity. Our class was particularly interested in learning about homelessness and racism.

In relation to homelessness, we learnt that some key actions we can take include: • Treat homeless people with respect and dignity • Donate to organisations that help people in need • Offer food or warm clothing if possible • Buy a copy of the Big Issue magazine These are small actions but can make a big difference ifwe all do them.

When responding to racism always assess the situation and never put yourself at risk. Your actions don't need to involve confrontation.

Some key actions you can take include: • Saying something ifit feels safe • Supporting the victim by standing next to them and checking if they are OK • Telling someone who can help like a teacher or a coach • Calling 000 or reporting the behaviour ifit is online We believe that with an increased awareness about social justice issues and tools to equip people to respond, we can empower our community to make a real difference in people's lives.

Art is Important Art is appealing to humanity because it gives you different emotions. It makes you feel proud, sad, happy and sometimes it can make you feel mad. You can change art by adding just one dot. You can create world selling art by doing simple things, having simple ideas but being an extraordinary person. Art is a small word but a large community.

Piper Parkhill

The art activity that captured my imagination was Marimekko.

There are so many different patterns and shapes you can use on your design. I also love the fact that when you finish the design you can put it on many products.

Alex Fry

Art is important because it allows people to have a creative outlet from reality. Everybody can and should have the opportunity to create and or experience art in its many forms.

Art can be found everywhere ifwe look hard enough. Art is part of our everyday life. Art can be seen in nature; building designs and some graffiti. Art can be found in more obvious places such as galleries, museums and other formal art spaces. lfwe don't recognise and appreciate that art is a significant and important part of all our lives, we will miss out on the benefits that art can provide to our overall well-being.

Zen Jimmieson

I am proud ofmy mythical creature (The Pig} because of all the effort I put into finishing and making my mythical creature look amazing. When doing Art, you brainstorm lots of ideas, change them and then decide. Something might not turn out the way you want it to, for example the shape of the 'pig's' head, probably isn't exactly how it needs to be, but after a few changes I was happy with the result. It was a challenge trying to make it look so real and getting the colours right. I am very proud of this piece of artwork because it brought out my creative side. I loved using different types of materials to make it so realistic.

Resilience Gratitude, empathy, kindness and mindfulness the cornerstones of The Resilience Project and the focus of a presentation on Thursday 25th of July. Martin Heppell from The Resilience Project came to the Middle School to talk to the Year 5,6, 7 and 8 students about many ways to help ourselves feel good about who we are. His energetic and fun approach helped everyone stay focussed and listen to his message.

Martin's enthusiastic presentation aimed to motivate and assist us to understand why and how to be resilient. He spoke about different ways of becoming a more resilient person, covering the main ideas of gratitude, mindfulness and general mental wellbeing. Resilience is becoming more relevant to us today because of the online social world in which we are active. It is more vital than ever that we all learn how to recover from setbacks, criticism and difficulties so that we can maintain good mental and physical well-being in order to live a productive and happy life.

Martin's presentation focussed on the importance of friends and of being mentally happy and healthy. Strategies to improve mental health include laughing, being active and participating in mindfulness activities like listening to music, drawing and colouring. That may seem too good to be true, but these kinds of activities can help to improve your mental wellbeing. He spoke about being a good friend and taking time to be friendly to people. This can improve your friendships and provides opportunities for people to smile, having a positive impact on mental health and resilience.

To take action, the Year 7 cohort have created Gratitude Walls in the classroom where students take time to think about the opportunities and simple things in our lives for which we can be grateful. It is a way to accentuate the positive aspects of our lives and leads to a positive mindset. We are thankful for Martin's presentation as he encouraged us to think and act in positive ways to assist our well- being and resilience.

Marysville Camp Everyone knows what the highlight of the school year is. School camp! Memories to be made and friends to meet, adventures to have and opportunities to grasp. On the 6th of May the first half of Year 7 departed to Marysville for their camp, We were lucky enough to stay in the temporary village that was built in a matter of days for the people whose homes were destroyed in the 2009 Black Saturday fires that tore through Marysville, Some people stayed there for up to 5 years after the fires.

Over the course of our three days in Marysville, we learnt so much about the Black Saturday fires and the impact they had on the natural and manmade aspects of this small town, not to mention the impact they had on the people. We went on a bike ride into the centre of the town where we visited the Black Saturday Museum and the oval that acted as a vital shelter for so many people during the fires and that saved their lives.

We also visited the Marysville statue garden, where we were transported into a world of goblins and fairies, nature and fantasy, The town of Marysville has supported re-building of extraordinary artworks that were engulfed in the 100 metrehigh flames.

We participated in a wide range of thrilling activities, from rock climbing and camping out, to cooking and canoeing. We all stepped out of our comfort zone in so many ways, whether it was scaling a 25 metre high wall, being hauled up by your classmates, or riding a bike, or canoeing for the first time, Camping out was a thrilling experience for everyone, including the teachers. We had to cook our own dinner on the fire which was delicious. Camping out was awesome, whether you were on the first freezing night, or the second rainy one.

Year 7 camp was a truly amazing trip, and so many brilliant memories were made and lessons were learnt. Thank-you to everyone who was involved in the wonderful journey we experienced.

Science Science is a "new" subject for Year 7 students. This is the first time that most students have worked in a real lab with a range of specialised equipment. The focus of the Year 7 Science course is learning how scientists work. In Term 1 the idea of investigations was introduced. Students designed their own investigation to answer a question of their choosing.

Some students tried to find out the best material for parachutes, or the type of cup that keeps drinks hottest for longest. The effect of temperature on the bounce of a squash ball was dramatic and measuring the strength of various types of tape was challenging. In Term 2 we investigated water quality as part of the Ecology Unit. Students measured salinity, turbidity and dissolved oxygen levels of water samples from various points along the Barwon River, from lnverleigh to Barwon Heads.

This year students had the opportunity to contribute feedback to help shape the developing Barwon River Action Plan. Term 3 focused on forces. A highlight was the staged crashes of model cars and passengers to demonstrate inertia. The slow-motion video capabilities of phones certainly helped with the analysis.

An investigation into the best surfaces for playgrounds enabled students to demonstrate their understanding of variables introduced in Term 1.

We turned our gaze to the heavens to finish the year. Students demonstrated their learning by producing a short video explaining tides, eclipses or the seasons.

Sport Sport at The Gee long College involves students competing in the APS competition but also being involved in PE classes for three classes per fortnight. We learn skills across a wide range of sports and learn the correct technique to undertake these.

We are so lucky to not only have access to amazing equipment, but to also be under the guidance of our knowledgeable PE staff who are both experienced and passionate.

Sport benefits the students of The Geelong College in so many ways. It improves our fitness and health and can help you feel good with the release of endorphins. Sports allows you to challenge yourself and set goals and can improve concentration.

Sports teaches you to be resilient as you experience the highs and lows of both winning and losing and through sports you will meet people and gain many new friends. Watching us play sport creates some fantastic family time and allows parents to meet other parents on the sideline.

I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to play sport with my friends. It gives me a feeling of excitement and makes me feel proud to represent the school.

Sara Playing sport at Geelong College allows me to meet new people and make new friends. I feel a sense of achievement after I've won a game and it makes me want to play more.

Sienna APS is great because it makes me get out the house and be more active. Sometimes the early mornings are a bit ofa challenge.

Sport keeps our bodies healthy and fit.

Amy Playing sport at Geelong College makes me feel happy. It allows me to stop thinking about homework and other things that are on my mind. I can just focus on what I am doing at that moment.

Lexi I enjoy playing sport because we have great teachers and APS coaches.

UkeTuesday This year 7F have enjoyed taking part in 'Uke Tuesday' during which we learnt new songs on the ukulele, As a class we have mastered brand new songs, different notes and tunes throughout the course of the year, The class is fortunate because we can all have our own ukulele, This helps because we can go through the songs more quickly, so that by the end of the year we will know more songs, notes and beats.

One ofmy favourite songs was 'Don't worry, be happy' by Bobby McFerrin. This song uses new chords and has a catchy beat to play.

Jonoleake

As well as Uke Tuesday, 7F has enjoyed Tik Tok Thursday and Dad Joke Friday, On Thursdays we create funny Tik Toks to show the class, We have fun doing this because we work with our friends to create funny skits.

We also enjoy Dad Joke Friday, which is when we tell each other Dad Jokes and make each other laugh.

StellaRixon I have really enjoyed playing the ukulele because I have wanted to learn how to play the instrument for quite some time. Now, I get to learn with all my friends and it has been a lot of fun.

®tgc_techtales Year 6 has been a blast! From Media to Mathematics, Film School to French, Year 6 had everything we could have hoped for.

Everything we have done so far has left all ofus with massive smiles on our faces. With so many opportunities, it was a no brainer to take on all of them.

At the start of the year we participated in Film School. We attended multiple clinics that taught us the skills and techniques of a good filmmaker. We each had a goal to earn our 'Director's Hat', and by the end of the term, not only did we reach that goal, we also created our own tutorial film.

We started with a few personal ideas, then after planning and thinking about certain questions our ideas turned into something bigger, such as motivational messages and world issues. With a lot of research and questioning, we wrote a persuasive script and turned it into a short film. Some students even decided to present their TED-style talks to a live audience.

Happiness by Millie Agar.

Fresh droplets relieve her from the humid day. Their soothing sounds bringing joy to her face. Her eyelids fall like curtains and her face relaxes. Water trails through her long strands of hair like electricity through wires. Misty clouds invade the land. The sudden cloudburst soaks the cracked earth and restores it's life. Drenched clothes cling to her, not letting go. She spins like a ballerina, arms wide embracing the powerful downpour. A day full of wonder.

High Ropes by Harriet Wright.

Gripping the torn metal pegs that clutch the pale post, I look down to a sea of faces the size of ants. My hands begin to tremble as I blow on them. They are as cold as ice. I clench my harness and try not to look down. Frozen, I can hear my heart pounding ferociously in my ears. Looking up at the frosty wires, my stomach drops and I hug the post tightly. Dewy tears run down my face, numb from the bitter wind. Comforting words from below encourage me to move upward. Grasping one peg after another, I glide cautiously up. I heave my legs onto the platform and stop. It feels like a train has hit my chest.

Frosty wind fills my lungs. I scrunch my eyes blocking out the world's noise to help calm my mind. I lean over and tug the rope attached to my waist, moving it forward slightly with each step.

Sliding across the wire, my chest gets heavier with every push.

Opening my eyes, I realise how far I've come. I grip the post at the other side and feel the weight lift from my shoulders. I grin from ear to ear.

Writer's Workshop The Blackwater by Zara.

Is there really someone down there, amongst the churning, swirling black? Could there be multiple souls down below, daring to fight back? Down in the depths where the Blackwater flows, trapped spirits try to break free. But the river reaches out with its watery hands, silencing their screams in its sea. When the wind's blowing north and there's waves crashing down, the Blackwater pulls you inside. Deep in the darkness, in a watery grave, death swirls in a midnight black tide. But when the river slopes into a waterfall below, the ones alive are dropped into their graves. So amongst the water, maybe there's a murderer inside, but when it strikes then you'll be far too late to save.

The First Fleet by Bobbi Norton.

Today white ghosts came on our land. Are they going to stay?

They came on these weird looking things, that float on the water. I asked them about it but the ghost looked at me weird and started talking in a weird language. I think they have come from another tribe. When I was hunting today, I saw a ghost running through the bushes. I didn't know what to do, so I called for the leader, but there was no answer. I ducked behind a tree until he ran off, out of view. When I got back to our camp. I told everyone what I saw. They said "They will be gone soon, so don't worry about it". Of course, I couldn't stop thinking about it! Were they only here to stay? If they were just staying, how long until they leave? Some of the people in camp decided to have a look what the ghosts were doing. I thought it was dangerous, so I decided not to go. When they got back, they said "There are millions of ghosts cutting down our trees and clearing the land!" The other man said, "I even saw a ghost fighting with another one!". I was very surprised, two people in the same tribe fighting! That night I was thinking to myself. Are they really going to go? What if they stay? I wouldn't know what todo.

Writer's Workshop They took me away by Claire Ilsley.

It was just a normal day, Ma was cleaning, Pa was making breakfast, but how little did I know, that this day, would be the worst day of my life. There were three thundering knocks on our door. "Boom! Boom! Boom! I thought that we had a visitor, but then Ma's face turned pale. Before I could say anything, the door burst open. They were not aboriginal, they were white men with black suits and red ties. I opened my mouth to say "Hi" but then they snatched my arm and dragged me outside. I screamed for my parents who were trying to help but the other white man slammed the door and locked it with their golden key.

They shoved me into the car. Tears streaming down my face, I had no idea what was going on. Soon enough, I was being driven away from my home. Eventually the white men got tired of my screaming and told me to be quiet and that I should be thanking them. For what? Taking me away from my family? Removing me from the ones I love?! Ijust sat there, steely and silent. They took me to what they called a "Home". I was about to say 'No, it's not!" They got back in the car and drove off. Then a white woman came out of the "Home" and came up to me. She was thin, and you could see her cheek bones, but she had a nice pink dress with little flowers on it. "Come in" she snapped, "My name is Ms Mellie, what's yours?". I was still a bit shocked about what had just happened to me, so I said nothing. "Shy? Well come on, I don't have all day!". I followed her into the "Home" and there were a lot of aboriginal children. Some had dark skin like me, others had brown skin, and some others had very light skin. "Be quiet everyone!" yelled Ms Mellie. Everyone in the room went silent. "We have a new child joining the home!" Everyone smiled and went on with their business. One girl came up to me. She was brown and had nice blue eyes. "Hello" she said, ''I'm 17, what's your name?". "Why is your name a number?" I asked.

Then Miss Mellie came up to us. "Your new name is 62" she said and walked off. Suddenly, she spun around "and ifl catch you speaking your stupid muddle of words, I'll cane you!" I was a bit shocked and confused. What did she mean by "muddle of words? I turned back to 17. She told me that the reason that our names are numbers are so they can remember how many people are here. Then I asked her, "When am I going home?" 17's face turned pale. "You're not, you just have to get used to it like the rest ofus". I'll never forget the pain and shock I felt that day.

Enviro The Year 4 Enviro program provides countless opportunities for our young people to become more literate and numerate as they learn more about the world - and their place in it through a year-long study of the environment. Through all this, they grow in all sorts of ways and they learn so much about themselves.

When we asked the Year 4 students about the experiences from which they learnt the most, their responses were many and varied: the Mount Rothwell experience; the enviro garden; Writer's Workshop sessions; cooking with Richard; all the enviro projects; Ross George's farm; rivertime; making my diorama; microworlds; my blue-tongue lizard project; my flag fractions project; planting indigenous plants at Merrawarp Road; my 'My Place' project; making friends on camp ...

The list goes on and on! All the learning from all these experiences is very difficult to quantify.

In 2019, the 'mountaintop projects', designed to 'tie the learning together' at the end of each term, best exemplify the complexity and depth of the learning.

Enviro The 'My Place Projects' provided us with just one useful example. During our work on these projects at the end of Term 3, we witnessed so much classroom excitement and engagement, as the students became lost in the challenges of bringing together learning about their history, our people and places - as they pieced together an historical narrative that paid tribute to their favourite local place. Some beautiful work across the disciplines of reading, writing, maths, science, geography, history and art.

All this work helps us reflect on our question "How has My Place changed over time?" The project helped them to better know their 'place', and themselves. The project asked that they 'visit' their place at least four times, across at least 200 years, through the eyes of their own imagined characters. They each produced four well-researched and (mostly!) historically accurate fictional narratives which were carefully enhanced with detailed artwork.

Enviro The student reflection at the end of these projects stood as testament to the learning that occurred.

From "I loved doing this project!" and "I didn't know I could do such cool work!" to "From this project I have learnt, that there are many things that connect you to the world. You could be doing something that your ancestors have done, that have slowly evolved over time. These things could be celebrations or festivals.

You celebrate old doings. Have you ever wondered who invented your traditions? Well, the people who have invented it are your ancestors. How we are connected to this world, is in small things you haven't noticed."

Who knows? Maybe the learning that occurred in this year will be slowly revealed to these young people (with their exceptional and agile minds) as they grow. There have been so many windows and doors flung open to whole new ways of seeing and being, Who knows where this learning will take them?

Let's ask the students in ten year's time what they learned in 2019 and how they changed as a result of engaging in their work in Year4.

One student left us with this:

"For me this is a very special place."

We concur,

Absent: Molly Harris

Year 8 Debating Throughout Terms Two and Three, eleven Year 8 students competed in the Debating Association of Victoria (DAV) D Grade debating competition, coached by Miss Justine Dyson. Every second Thursday night, the group of dedicated students journeyed out to the Geelong Grammar School to debate against schools from all over Geelong.

The debaters argued a wide range of topics, including controversial issues such as 'that all political parties should have quotas for female candidates' and 'that refugees should have full access to the Australian welfare system'. The College argued the harder negative argument for both challenging debates and spoke incredibly well, with one resulting in a win and the other in a close competition but with the affirmative ultimately winning. Other debates were challenging morally, including 'that we should ban horse racing', 'that we should abolish standardised testing' and 'that convicted criminals should not be allowed to publish accounts of their crimes' The team was incredibly passionate about the debating season and loved getting to know the other schools. On their second debate, the College lost (arguably unfairly) to Geelong High School (GHS), and then again in the next round. The debating team was equal part proud and ambitious and enthusiastically competitive. The average Tuesday morning training session could result in a nickname being given, a rant from Miss Dyson, a mad hunt for cue cards or a brainstorm of ideas for the upcoming debate.

The Middle School had a great debating season and all debaters are deserving of congratulations, as they all look forward to the extensive debating program at Senior School.

A special mention to Georgia Phung who won the Debating Victoria Award 'The Swannie' for the speaker who received the highest average speaker score after the completion of the general rounds. This is reflective of such an impressive debating season by Georgia and we wish her all the best in her debating at Senior School.

The Value of Memory In the book Dancing with Reggio, Stefania Giamminuti reflects on the value of a memory through the lens of a child. Stefania describes a memory as a place for finding yourself and a school as a place offinding yourself. A school that holds a memory of yourself and others. So, the school becomes a community made up ofthose that came before and those that will come. It is a welcoming place.' (Giamminuti Dancing with Reggio. p.139 2013) Campbell House has, is and will be a memory for so many members of our community. Over the past years the Redevelopment has meant significant change for a lot of people. Watching the buildings take shape and transform in front of our eyes, has been exciting; yet we acknowledge and value the emotions of this change for our community.

Through our provocation for 2019, How does change affect our identity?, staff and students have wondered and explored the depth of who we are and created a culture that connects to a common purpose. By advocating the voice of the children and placing trust in their understanding of this question, they became empowered to bring their inquiry to life.

100

This year I observed the Prep children share their understanding of change and their identity, exploring the concept from when they are born, their present and what they will be doing when they are older, 'This is what I will look like when I am one hundred; my grandchildren might be at my school' Connor.

The children researched and designed what the new buildings will look like for Campbell House and its impact on them.

As educators, we are currently resetting our thinking and relaunching our practice that will effectively take us into the 21st Century, where our unique architecture will reflect our pedagogy.

Change has certainly brought about a transformation that has shaped who are and who we will become. The most special part about being a member of Campbell House is that we are a community which embraces diversity. Our buildings may not look as they did in our past but the memories, the community and the connections will remain with us as part of our culture.

We look forward to an exciting new future in our school; a place 'that holds a memory of you' and is a place that values differences that individuals of our past, present, and future can find themselves and feel part of our shared Campbell House family.

Wakakirri is Australia's largest performing arts event for schools.

Each year hundreds of schools across Australia create StoryDances and perform in professional theatres in front of the official 'Wakakirri Panel' who are searching for 'Story of the Year'.

PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION AWARDS

This year, The Geelong College Junior School entered their first ever story-dance 'My Two Blankets' which told the story of Cartwheel, a girl looking for a way to belong in a new place. They conveyed beautifully, the uncomfortable feeling you get when you are new at school.

Excellent Lead Cast Well-Rehearsed Performance

''.An exceptionally professional performance that executed a beautiful message ofkindness and friendship told through fun choreography and story" Kristin Agnoli (National Panel Member for Wakakirri)

Best Backstage Crew

Students were also awarded the 'Best Inspirational Story' award for new or novice schools, which meant that we needed to take our show on the road, to Melbourne!

'Performing at The Palais Theatre is kind oflike a dream! I can't believe we're really here! It has been great spending time with the Preppies- Harriet is only 5 and she remembered all the dance moves, she really impressed me!'

Xaidy Salajan 'We were excited when we heard that we were coming here to the Pala is in Melbourne, some of us screamed, some ofus happy cried! For me it's even more special because I choreographed the dance to 'Waves' and it's the first time that I've had my friends perform a dance that I have choreographed on a big stage like this!'

How do I know who I am?

The excitement was palpable in Year Three as the children began to investigate the concept of identity, As part of a whole school project, children wondered - How do I know who I am?

By the way that you look. Mallory By your personality and you know, what you like. Claudia The experiences you go through, they make the things that you like and the things that you dislike ... it is the way you build your life over and over. Felix As you get older, you have your experiences which add to your life, so you learn things, Jack P

At this point the children saw identity as connected to choice, experience, thought and feeling. They believed that identity is something that is developed over time and shaped by personality. They believed that personality is as individual as its' core, and that it too can be altered by the experiences, thoughts and feelings that the choices in our life bring us.

As their thinking developed, the children's thinking shifted to include wonderings about the impact of'place' on identity, To fully understand the impact of the land on an individual or group identity, the students were required to unpack what land was.,.

Land can be different terrains, there can be desert, there can be beach, there can be jungle, there can be plains, there can be rivers ... because there are lots of different terrains in the land.

CharlieM Land is a piece ofsolid place where you can stand on it and... it is a solid piece of earth. Emma Land is a place where you stay, you know, and you've been. Dylan

At this point children saw land as a place that is connected to and by people. They understood that land was solid, vast and varied. This was the moment when the children's curiosity was ignited. After wondering, 'How do you get to know a land?'

How do I know who I am?

Emma knows a lot about Scotland because of her family and my parents are from Tasmania, so / know a lot about Tasmania. They have a great lighthouse on the tip near the beach and it's got heaps ofhills and train tracks and lots of cottages around the beach. Nina

The children concluded that the best way to get to know a land was to go and have experiences with it and that when this isn't possible, learn from others who have. At this point the children began to wonder about the little-known places of our world as our focus shifted to discovering the best way to record our land.

I think recording the world is more like going somewhere and recording what you enjoyed, what's the best bit, something it needs to work on, in a diary or something. Abbey Satellite. Ifyou want to record the world, send a satellite into the sky to record it. Archie G I think we should study each country. Eva Maybe we could look at the development ofrocks and mountains.

Charles

It was decided that to lead us in our decision-making process we would need to form a committee. Formed by a democratic vote, the consultative group had the job of reflecting upon the process of the learning and suggesting new directions.

I think it is important that we choose a good idea, and not just the ideas ofour friends. It's our responsibility. Scarlett P

Throughout their meetings, they also discussed weaving the ideas of many into a whole, new idea.

Could we choose two or three and narrow them down? Alice lfwe put a few ideas together we might get something, Oliver H We could get something amazing if we put together the best ideas.

Zali It might make the idea we end up with even better than each on their own. Alice

How do I know who I am?

Here the committee hints at the complexity of their task. They highlight that in order to record the world accurately, they will need to utilise many ideas, many layers of knowledge as our land is complex.

In small teams, children came up with a multitude of ways to record the world that they know. Among these ideas were sculpture, map making, video presentations, website creation, diary writing, travel photography and scientific investigation.

The committee had the difficult job of sorting through these complex ideas to select a way forward. At this point the committee decided that it wasn't enough to record what we already know of our world and that in order to record the world accurately, we first need to find out more about the world.

At this point students engaged in both collective and individual research. They explored atlases to see the world through another's eye, encountering concepts such as scale and key.

They also used measurements such as latitude and longitude in order to accurately read and interpret maps.

Culminating in The Geelong College World's Fair, students showcased their independent research efforts, sharing with the community the knowledge they acquired throughout the process. Students acted as ambassadors for a country and presented their learning in many forms.

As the project continued, students began to delve deeply into the identity of people who inhabit this magnificent world, discussing world issues such as migration as they continued to make sense of the world around them.

Water, the Precious Resource Water sparked many curiosities and questions. We quickly developed an understanding that water is one of the resources that the earth has and how important it is for living organisms like humans, animals and plants. Throughout the project we participated in guided investigations to grasp our understanding of the water cycle, making observations and predictions using our senses. We explored the question 'Where does our water come from?' deepening our understandings by participating in experiments that would bring our learning to life.

We wove numeracy throughout our project as we got practical with water in our learning spaces, comparing and ordering several objects based on volume and capacity. Our project was enhanced by our connections to literacy when we created persuasive pieces on We should save water Water is important for our farmers Water is important for leisure and fun As our understandings of the water cycle deepened, we wondered where our water was stored. All Year 2's travelled by bus to the West Barwon Reservoir and the Wurdee Boluc Water Treatment Plant. At the reservoir the children were able to see where the Barwon River starts and where our drinking water is sourced. Throughout our guided tour we discussed the importance of natural catchments and the effect of pollution on water supplies. We consolidated our understanding about rainfall, run-off, water quality, catchments, and the water supply system. Throughout our tour ofWurdee Boluc Water Treatment Plant we followed the treatment process. The children learnt about how and why drinking water is treated before it is delivered to homes and businesses.

Following on from our excursion the children turned into inventors and designers as they were provoked by a dirty bottle of water. In small groups they were set the problem 'How can we clean dirty water?'. Using the design process (Problem-PlanMake-Review) the children developed their own invention using recycled materials such as plastic tubs, bowls, sieves, cotton wool, plastic tubing and charcoal. Our project was ignited with a spirit of inquiry and a clear sense of purpose.

Exploring the Identity of Geelong In Term 2, we began to wonder about the identity of our city, Gee long. Do places have an identity? If so, how can they be defined? We explored geography curriculum links of identifying and describing the features of Geelong and how our city has evolved over time. The students would learn that people describe the features of places differently. We aimed for the students to be able to describe and explain where places and activities are located and to be able to identify how people are connected to different places.

For our first immersion into Geelong's identity, we went on an excursion to the Geelong Wool Museum where the children learnt about our local history, the importance of the wool industry, the Port of Geelong, and the positions of significant buildings in creating Geelong's culture. Here the children viewed an important and impressive early drawing of Geelong's city centre.

Back at school, we examined the standout parts of the drawing and came up with what the children believed were the most important parts of Geelong. They were Johnstone Park and the Arts precinct, GMHBA stadium, the Hospital, Wool Museum and of course our amazing waterfront.

This led us on to our next excursion where we visited each of these places, sketched and discussed their features and observed how those places were being used by the Geelong public and visitors to Geelong.

Back in the classroom we began weaving our understandings into our Literacy and Numeracy programs. The children learnt how to write persuasive pieces and could thoroughly convince you that Geelong is the best place to live! During our Mathematics Unit on Location, the children followed detailed rubrics to create maps of the Geelong City precinct from a bird's eye view. They included grid co-ordinates, a key of significant landmarks and questions to engage their parents.

108

During Inquiry time, the children created models of significant landmarks along our waterfront. They made their models from recycled materials. The final products were outstanding and proudly presented as part of our Celebration of Learning in Term 3.

Celebrating Cultural Diversity As part of our whole school project, Landscapes of Change, Year 2 explored the provocation 'How does change affect identity?' The year began with an unpacking of the concept of 'identity'.

You can change from a baby as you grow up. Simran The school can change. It's like the buildings; this room used to be the drama room and now it's our classroom. Jacob

The teachers acted as researchers, listening to the children's thinking during class meetings, discovering common themes and questions and considering ways to extend their learning further. The children were invited to create an identity box to share, with items from home that represent their identity.

Sharing these items sparked further discussion about cultural heritage and how this can shape personal and group identities.

Consequently, a new research question evolved, 'What is culture?'

Culture has different stories. Finn C

The children were encouraged to attend Pako Festa to develop their understanding of how we embrace and celebrate cultural diversity within our community. Family members were welcomed into our learning spaces to share their stories. In 2C we heard stories of Viking heritage, Danish and Italian traditions and explored special artefacts related to these cultures. The children's knowledge of different countries and cultures was extended and their connection as a group became greater as they learnt more about each other's lives.

During Cultural Diversity Week, the children participated in National Harmony Day by making friendship bracelets and engaging in outdoor games. The children reflected on how we can be inclusive and respectful of each other. Children were asked to to dream big and wonder 'What ifwe had a festival too?

How could we celebrate Cultural Diversity at Geelong College?

What would it look like?'

We could have Sri Lankan dancers. People wearing golden bangles and traditional dress. Sachi I would love to have some books about Jewish history. My family is Jewish. Freya

Our Growth Mindset 'You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose!' Dr. Suess

Wow! What a year we have had in lA! In our first lesson we learnt that 'it is OK to make mistakes'. Students deliberately made mistakes and turned them in to beautiful pieces of art. lA soon discovered that making mistakes is an important part of the learning process and represent a learning opportunity.

Our growth mindset continued as we tackled our school provocation 'How does change affect identity?'. lA considered this conundrum in our class meetings which led us to the line of inquiry of change in the animal world, specifically the life cycles of living things. In Term 2 lAdecided that the best way to learn about life cycles was to create our own animal habitat. Our class tree took roots and grew throughout the term. It now soars over students as they work. If you listen carefully you can hear the wind rustle the leaves as diligent students are learning.

We found that we had learnt so much about change and identity in the animal kingdom that it was time to experience it for ourselves. Excursions to The Melbourne Zoo and Wombat Gully and our classroom chicks allowed us to further develop our practical understanding of the variety and diversity ofliving things.

Our line of inquiry seeped into all areas of the curriculum. We learnt about butterfly symmetry in maths, we wrote life cycle information texts during writing and we read hundreds of books about life cycles. These discoveries led us to our Celebration of Learning where roles were reversed. The students became teachers as they taught their grandparents, mums, dads, brothers and sisters.

We have found that change is natural and unavoidable. We will continue to develop our growth mindset as we move to Year 2.

Alone we are Smart, Together we are Brilliant From the very first day of the school year, the children of 1B have embraced an I can, Growth Mindset approach to their learning.

Each day we have endeavoured to discuss, learn and create a classroom culture that accepts and welcomes opportunities where mistakes may be made.

Our 1B mantra has been, "Mistakes are OK! They are a part of learning that is challenging. We learn from our mistakes!"

We encourage each other to be brave, take on challenges and persist when something new or unknown is encountered.

In Year 1B the children have discovered that we can teach and learn from each other, readily adopting our C3 B4 U C ME approach to peer teaching and support. 'If the teacher is busy with a teaching group there are at least 3, maybe more 'teachers' in the room that I can seek to guide and support my learning'.

In Year 1B we have continued to recognise and value the power of conversation and play in children's lives. They seek and require many of these opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.

Our Inquiry, Literacy and Mathematical projects have developed from and through many of the children's interests, curiosities and daily play explorations.

Our Inquiry provocation, 'How does change affect identity?' has enabled us to explore many fascinating changes in the life cycles of plants and animals. The children have asked many questions, sought many answers and striven to do 'better than their best' beginning steps towards developing a lifelong positive attitude and passion for meaningful learning.

Us Above and the Ants Below To build on last year's 'Landscapes of Change' project across the Junior School it was decided we would begin 2019 with a provocation to stimulate thinking and relaunch ideas with new groups of children: 'How does change affect identity?'

We hoped this question would allow children to think about their identity in the landscape of the Junior School rebuild in an even deeper way than last year.

In our first weeks, as we began word study with ant as our word of the week, a fire ant paid us a visit in the Prep learning space.

This connection was humorous for many children. The ant became a source of curiosity, and theories about his origin were posed: Maybe he came from the dirt out there ... dug a hole and came out here.

I think he might have got afraid from the diggers and come in here because there are no diggers in here.

Straight away the idea of how the changing landscape may be affecting the creatures of the school came up. Children had the capability to consider this perspective of empathy, because they themselves are going through the change process as the school is being redeveloped.

Children's subsequent enthusiasm to find out more about the life of ants led to the formulation of a pathway to explore change and identity in an authentic, accessible manner for children of this age.

Could we simultaneously explore the life ofthe ants that live under our school as well as our own identities as members of this school community?

Could a mirroring, dual investigation allow us to both imagine how the ants' identities are being affected by the changing landscape of the school, whilst considering our own changing identities throughout this process?

Us Above and the Ants Below Children decided they wanted to create a life-sized ant colony to simulate the life of the ants under our school. People would be invited to experience this for themselves. Children knew straight away, that to make it authentic, they would have to infuse sensory elements into the build.

In mixed groups, all children in Prep entered into a collaborative inquiry process examining the construction of the tunnel exhibit, infusing the sensory aspect into the experience, and the design of a visual representation of our school and the ants under it.

The construction group worked through several construction experiments and prototypes for the tunnels. Size and stability were ongoing issues faced by this group. In the end, a product was found that could work as a base for the tunnels so that construction could commence.

The sensory group researched colours of earth from around the school as well as the sounds ants would hear under the school. This sound research linked with our Music program and, collaboratively, a school soundscape was created to be projected into the tunnels, simulating what the ants would hear.

Children worked on building this soundscape in music class and it included sounds from the construction site, learning and play noises heard around the school.

The third group worked on a visual representation of both the changing school, and the potential changing world of the ants that live under the school. The children were fascinated to find out from a guest speaker that during an ant's life cycle their body form undergoes a transformation. So, if the ants are transforming underground, are we as humans also transforming above the ground? Our focus then turned to the transformation of the buildings at Campbell House.

The following term, project discussions turned the spotlight on us as humans. How do we transform? During this chapter of the investigation, the children analysed and discussed how they have grown and changed since they were a baby and a toddler.

Us Above and the Ants Below Finally, we discussed how we could make our learning journey visible to our parents during the Celebration of Learning evening. We wanted children to be able to express their own ideas about their changing identity over time in a deeper way.

We trialled drawing images of ourselves in the past but found this didn't sparkjoy in the children or inspire them to look deeper. So, we took the question back to the group to see what other ideas they had.

In subsequent class meetings the children developed a collective plan. The conversation became an evolution of ideas: We should draw, in our best work, each picture but also add in the background and colour it

In this thought, Connor identified that the background, or context is a very important part of the picture of our identity, and one we had originally missed from the initial drawing work.

The idea was then developed further: We could draw ourselves, and also make the background out of boxes Our drawings of us could be like puppets in the boxes The puppets could hang from the top by string

Listening to the idea evolve, we realised children were basically describing a diorama, without realising it! We accessed online resources to explore the process of making a diorama and children were amazed to see this technique in action and had lots to say afterwards: It's like a mini world!

That's very creative It's cool because it has all the background stuff

And so, the idea of Identity Dioramas was born. Children worked to first design, and then construct both a diorama from their past, present and future identities, as well as a model of themselves at each stage of development.

Our Connection to Culture and the natural world Early Learning 3, have throughout the year shown a keen interest in Aboriginal culture, with a large focus on the story of Bunjil the Wedge Tailed Eagle. The discovery of a large nest provoked many interesting discussions during our class meeting times.

A proposal to return the nest to Bunjil led to an excursion to Bunjil's Lookout in Maude. The rolling hills were the perfect backdrop as we sat to watch for Bunjil. We were rewarded with a visit from Wedge Tailed Eagles gracefully soaring overhead.

After leaving the nest for Bunjil we continued to wonder ifwe would see the nest again ...

We had a nest, we took it to Bunjil at the look out. How do we get it back?

I want to fly like Bunjil, with big wings just like that

Throughout the year, the children have used their 100 languages to create and share representations of their ideas. Drawing, painting, sculpting clay, and weaving with wire have all been used as a medium for expression. Our 'Nests - it's a tree bed' project involved the children designing and then creating their own unique nest with the assistance of a family member.

Nests ... It's a tree bed Collaboration in planning and physical space within Early Learning 3 this year has bought EL3A and EL3B together as a team. The project, Nests... It's a tree bed has given us the opportunity to have a group project, play together in our yard and classroom, go on excursions together and celebrate with our special night - The Nest Quest.

Children's interest in the natural world, birds and their homes has inspired connections in their thinking, wonderings, discoveries and learning by reflecting on their investigations.

Children noticed birds in nature, researched texts and observed chickens, nests, budgies and a peach face lovebird that visited our classroom. Our interests opened the opportunity to extend our knowledge by visiting the Bunjiliaka sound and motion experience, or as the children named it The Bunjil Thing at the Melbourne Museum. On return children shared their museum experience.

Bunjil. Yes I liked it because it was dark and there were lights.

The birds I liked the best. There were 2 birds.

Dinosaurs. I like them.

It was so good I am going to take my family back and show them.

The museum trip spurred discussions of Bunjil and inspired the Nest Quest. Bunjil wrote to the children telling them that he wanted to return the nest previously given to him during their excursion to Bunjil's lookout and invited them to the Quest.

On the night we followed the clues to Nature Play, the oval and to Early Learning 3 where we met Bunjil, the Wedge tail eagle and the returned nest. He was accompanied by his handler Martin, who told us about Bunjil's life. The excitement turned to wonderings and fact checking for the children.

Bunjil is just so big!

He eats snakes.

I think he speaks a different language.

The wedgetail eagle is one of the biggest eagles in the world.

And there was a real Bunjil!

Our project Nests... It's a tree bed has been a celebration of the children's learning about Aboriginal culture, nature, birds and a chance to connect family and school life.

Where in the world are we?

Early in the year it was evident that we had all come to Early Learning with knowledge of places, cultures and wonderings about the world. Group discussions quickly became rich exchanges of conversations and listening about the world.

A project that celebrates our view of the world was born. We celebrated diversity, valued culture and explored where we see ourselves in the world. We began our discovery of the world by creating a passport and suitcase to take home, discuss with family members and then bring in a memory, photo or souvenir to share with the group.

This experience gave us the opportunity to gain an insight into each other, the world around us and gave confidence to individuals to share experiences in a group setting. The journey has broadened our knowledge of the world we live in through exploring the many cultures, food, location, flags and maps.

As a group we listened to what children already knew about the world, asked questions, had open discussions to form views and ideas about the world we live in.

I'm Irish and Australian.Ciariln A long time ago, the countries were alljoined together, and the water went fast and went through all the bits cutting through making lots more places. Angus We went to the Bungle Bungles and saw Boab tress. Tim It takes a whole day and night to get to Nottingham. Kosta In Mongolia a house is a Yurt. Tyrese /just loved finding out about everyone and the places. Indiana

Children expressed their suitcase memories through the hundred languages, including retelling stories and showing their creativity through paintings, drawings, writings and music.

You never come in isolated ways, you always come with pieces of the world attached to you. Loris Malaguzzi

This experience gave children a voice in front of their peers and a chance to practise questioning skills whilst gaining opportunities to celebrate diversity and culture. The project helped EL4A to become a collaborative team oflearners who displayed great respect for one another and what each individual has to contribute to the group.

An A-Mazing year of Storytelling Early Learning 4B have been on a journey that explored stories in all their forms. Seeing things from different perspectives was something children had been interested in. They had many theories about how and why things look different to different people and could identify the fact that when things change around us it changes our perceptions and understandings. This exploration manifested in the sharing, telling and creating of stories in all their forms. Children began to share stories about items found behind the little red doors hidden in our room.

These items were purposefully chosen to support children's interests and support their literacy skills. Concepts such as character, plot, structure of stories and different ways we can represent them came to the fore. Children started to act out stories, dance stories, write and illustrate stories as well as create three dimensional models to represent plot and character.

To further extend this project we took the children to see Toy Story 4. This proved to be an exciting experience that fostered the growth of our children on many levels. Some children demonstrated happiness, others excitement, some were thankful and a few were anxious too. For some children this was their first trip to the cinemas. for others, there may have been trepidation from previous visits to the movies. But, on the day, we were all courageous and went along to the cinemas with our friends. The movie was full of lessons to learn, such as being courageous, the importance of friendship and loyalty, and a lot about re-purposing old items and toys too. This was followed by a visit to the Mill Market to further investigate repurposing items, which upon return to Early Learning created an interest in Op Shops, old items and older people too. So, a visit to Kalkee Aged Care was undertaken where we saw, and felt, first-hand the benefits of inter-generational relationships and play.

In between all that, we still had plenty of time for music, gym, athletics, yoga, cooking, sewing, dancing, playing, singing, exploring and sitting around the camp fire!

Senior School Music The contribution of our Senior School musicians to 2019 has been remarkable and appropriately celebrated in many performances. The preparation and presentation of music evenings, Chapel services, assemblies and more, required considerable involvement from our music students and members of the wider musical community. The combination of this music-making created the most wonderful soundtrack to the year and celebrated music in the Senior School in fine style.

• The Wurlitzer Organ was rolled out in Term 1 for the first ever 'Choral Extravaganza' which celebrated choral singing in our College with choirs from Year 4 to Year 12 and our Community Choir. The massive finale involved all choirs, the audience and our amazing Wurlitzer Organ triumphantly performing Holst's 'I Vow To Thee My Country' with a rendition fit for the Proms.

• The Morrison Singers toured New Zealand at the end of Term 1 with four Year 9 boys enjoying the musical highlights and new friendships with boys from St Kentigern's College in Auckland. The tour was a complete success with more than a dozen performances in five days, culminating with an amazing shared concert in Auckland's magnificent Holy Trinity Cathedral, where the boys helped raise over AUD$2500 for a charity that supports New Zealand fathers who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

• The Pegasus Singers and the Stage Band participated in the 'Generations In Jazz' Festival held in Mount Gambier, gaining very strong results in their respective divisions. It was the first time the Pegasus Singers had entered Division One and they certainly rose to this higher-level with joyful singing. The Stage Band also acquitted themselves well, playing their three songs with gusto.

• The House Music Competition, held close to the end of Term 2, was adjudicated by Mr Gary Tigani, Reverend Will Nicholas and Ms Imogen Brough and allowed all students to prepare a song for the enjoyment of their peers. This event is the biggest musical event on the College's calendar and once again, it proved to be an outstanding success. The massed

choirs and small ensembles performed with such energy and commitment. Congratulations to the 2019 winner, Shannon House.

• The Morongo Singers travelled to Sydney with two Year 9 girls to compete at the Australian International Music Festival 2019. The highlights were many and varied, but suffice to say that watching our girls perform on the stage of the Sydney Opera House was a momentous one for those present and for the College. We were thrilled to be recognised with a Silver Award for our performance in front of the judges later that week.

• The Concert Band had an enormous year. They presented a sit-in concert where the audience was invited to take a seat next to a musician and feel the joy of music-making at close quarters. The experience was completely unique and our audience was amazed at how powerfully the emotion and sound created by our young musicians moved them. Next on the agenda was the Victorian Schools Music Festival, hosted by our College, where the musicians were recognised for their excellence with the highest possible Platinum Award.

And finally, after many years of absence, the Concert Band returned to play at the Geelong Show and were thrilled to be awarded a third prize. Significantly, we were the only band in the top three to have no staff performing on the day, which is such a credit to our students.

• The Annual Foundation Concert showcased musical groups from across the school. The evening highlighted the Symphony Orchestra, the College Choir, the Brass Ensemble, the Stage Band and two rock bands in an amazing synergy of colour and talent. The highlights of the evening being the Symphony Orchestra's selection from 'The Carnival of the Animals' by Camille Saint-Seans; the rock band Indigo's stirring performance of 'Maybe This Time' from Ca beret and the choir's trip down memory lane with their performance of the traditional College song 'School On The Hill', composed by an Old Collegian in 1921 and not heard live at the College for over 70 years.

• The Valedictory Chapel Service at St David's Church was entertained by the Brass Ensemble and the Valedictory Ceremony celebrated the culmination of our Year 12 cohort.

The musical presence was significant and powerful. The Concert Band played a hauntingly beautiful procession to commence proceedings, This was followed by a Brass Quartet featuring our Co-Captain of Music and the Senior School Chamber Orchestra, who performed the World Premiere of 'Moonlight' by Sam Porter (OGC 2015) featuring our other Co-Captain of Music. The VET Band 'Smoked and Overdue' concluded the evening with a triumphant rendition of their original song, 'For You', • Our College VET program rose to the next level with our four bands lifting the roof off local establishments and the College's Costa Theatre throughout the year. These bands have been trail blazers for contemporary music and their efforts inspired younger students, entertained peers, supported charities, and gigged at so many events in the College calendar and in our community- simply outstanding.

We were thrilled that 2019 also heralded the formation of five rock bands in the Middle School, testament to the ongoing diversity and opportunity our College music program is able to offer young musicians.

• The final concerts of the year provided an opportunity to celebrate the year's work for our larger ensembles. This year three concerts in particular created the perfect vehicle for such a celebration: The Stage Band Farewell Concert, the Band Extravaganza and the String Fling. The audiences were full on each occasion and as we sat mesmerised by our talented musicians, we were reminded of the enormous commitment and development of these groups throughout the year.

• The Carol Services towards the end of Term 4 brought our community together to honour and celebrate the values of our College. The Senior and Middle School choirs presented traditional and modern carols within the service and the evening culminated with over 150 voices singing Handel's

magnificent 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Messiah accompanied by organ and harpsichord, creating a performance of power and beauty as we moved into the school holidays and the Holy celebrations, Our classroom program also continued to provide excellence in music education to our Senior students. From Year 9 to VCE, our students delved into the history, theory and performance of music with the support of their teachers and peers, This program celebrates each individual, provides our students with the permission to perform, and most importantly, invites our young musicians into the Keith Humble Centre to share the joy of music and benefits of music education every day of the school year.

I would like to acknowledge the ongoing excellence of our music staff and their outstanding effort in providing a music education program of such high standard and enjoyment for our students.

I would like to recognise the support of the Humble Club, chaired by Mrs Naomi Vagg, which assists in providing amazing opportunities for our young musicians and raising the profile of music at our College. I acknowledge the ongoing support of Dr Miller, Dr Seward and the College's Foundation for their vision and commitment to music at The Geelong College. Thank you also to parents and families who support our program and organise for their child to be at our rehearsals and concerts over the entire year. Being a non-compulsory activity, we in the music department are so blessed that you recognise and value the experience music is able to provide these young adults, Finally, to the students, I would like to thank all our Senior students, especially the departing Year 12 cohort, ably represented by Music Co-Captains Harry Powell and Jacinta Padanyi, for their contributions to the musical life of our College this year. We wish you all the very best for the future and trust that you will continue to explore and embrace your considerable musical talents in your post-College lives, Dr Phillip Bohun, Director of Music

Middle School Music Middle School Instrumental Music

Middle School Class Music

Performance opportunities in the outstanding music program offered at Middle School in 2019 have been varied, exciting and vibrant. Each and every student has been provided with the opportunity to engage in a rich music culture. We have had the privilege to witness incredible performances and share in the joy of music-making. We have observed young musicians rehearse and work hard to achieve outstanding results. Their passion and enthusiasm always evident and inspiring to watch!

Music study in the Middle School this year has again been broad, rich and engaging. This was particularly exemplified in the new Year 8 Elective ':A.I most Famous". Taking inspiration from musicians who successfully promote their music on the internet, a class of experienced and committed musicians formed smaller groups and devised a performance in the genre of their choice and recorded it in the sound studio at the Keith Humble Centre. Students then created storyboards and filmed a clip to go with their music. Styles of music included pop, classical, ballad, hip-hop and some original compositions.

There has been a huge array of Music Ensembles on offer at Middle School. String Orchestras including The Otway, Moorabool and Balyang and our band program is thriving in all three Swan Bay, Barwon and a Stage Band. Rock Groups have been established as well as a new contemporary Guitar Ensemble. Chamber groups have been formed giving students the option to play more independently in smaller groups.

There have also been lots of entertaining solos at assemblies, lunchtime concerts, Chapel services and parent evenings, with a highlight being the Barwon Concert Band's wonderful performance at the Victorian Schools Music Festival.

The choral program has also provided singing students with the permission to perform, with all four choirs singing triumphantly for concerts throughout the year hosted in our spaces.

Amongst many highlights in 2019 were the Choral Extravaganza in Term 1, which involved all our choirs from Year 4 to the Community Choir and the Morongo Singers performing at the Morongo Luncheon in the Dining Hall. We also added some amazing opportunities for our young singers including a tour to New Zealand, a tour to the Opera House in Sydney and a trip to compete in the Royal South Street Eisteddfod.

Our 2019 performances heralded the magnificent musical talents of our students this year. Thank you to everyone who participated in The Foundation Concert, The Middle School Music Jamborees, The Steinway Launch, The Celebration of Learning Final Assembly and the Christmas Carol Service and we cannot wait for 2020! Bravo!!! It has been a wonderful year!

Year 8 core music also gave students the opportunity to compose utilising keyboard and computer skills in the 'Chords'n'Boards' Unit, whilst everyone had the chance to experience playing in a rock band in 'Chart Busters'.

The musical ability of the Year 4s was immediately evident by their enthusiasm in the classroom and their flair for adding melody to words. This resulted in some original, catchy and appealing tunes on the Enviro Album which was launched in Term 4. The creatures that abound in the enviro were a thread that ran through this year's album with lizards, guinea pigs, wrens, currawongs, falcons and the newly arrived blue banded bee all receiving a mention in the lyrics.

In Term 3, Years 4 and 5 students were entertained by the group "Water Water Everywhere" who performed the Water Concerto

by Tan Dun. Featuring percussion, piano and clarinet, this musical work was inspired by the everyday necessity of water.

The performance provided Year 5 students with timely insights into live instrumental playing before their own performance and workshop with the Barwon Concert Band. The Year 5 Allegro program provided the opportunity for students to learn an orchestral instrument and extend their musical skills through improvisation, composition and ensemble playing.

The Year 7 instrumental and compositional skills were also extended through both the Instrumental Discovery Program and the 'Thinking Like A Song writer' Unit.

At the end of each semester, students presented a concert demonstrating their new skills on an orchestral instrument, playing as a large ensemble. New and energetic House songs were composed, performed and recorded in the 'I am a Song Writer' Unit, utilising previous musical skills and the program MixCraft.

Year 6 had a focus on World Music in Semester 1, exploring music from around the world and giving context to the pentatonic skills they gained from the Allegro program the year before. In Term 1 this included a particular focus on West African music and culture and as part of this they welcomed Abli and Odai from Ghana, who came to perform for them in Robertson Hall. These two performers demonstrated their skill on the drums, explaining the different tones and expressive qualities of African drumming.

Later in the year the Year 6s devised, performed and recorded Space music in conjunction with their science unit "Out of this World".

The students worked in their film groups to write music to go with scenes and credits in their films.

A busy hive of musical styles, instruments, playing, composing, listening and improvising, the music classrooms of2019 have certainly resounded with the joys of music!

Junior School Music The Geelong College Music Programme begins in Early Learning, where students receive up to 2 x 30 minute music lessons per week. The programme's aim is to develop beat, pitch and the ability to respond creatively to music though movement, voice and percussive instruments. From Early Learning and throughout 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. Early Learning 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 Early Learning 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 in the new Wayapeeree building.

Each fortnight staff have enjoyed the performances at assembly, solo instrumental items to music performances by individual classes and whole school performances.

134

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 'Hedwig's Theme'.

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 including the Father's Day breakfast.

The Foundation Concert featured performances from all of the Prep students, 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, Africa and England, concluding with the final song 'Sanza Kroma' 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. 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.

1st XI Cricket 2nd Row: Charlie Lazzaro. Ed Kol. Ned Hicks. Liam Blackford. Sam Geary; Nick Burke. Joshua High. James Potts. Hunter Locke 1st Row: Samuel Bain. Matthew Thacker. Lach/an Jones. Charlie Mitchell. Joey Nagle. Charlie Hurst. Stirling Shier. Euriah Hollard Coach: Scott Lindsay Manager: Greg Hansen

Cricket The 1st XI experienced improved results in comparison to past years, being very much competitive in all of our games, as well as also managing to come away with two wins and two draws for the season. In the SO-over matches prior to Christmas, we were able to get off to a fantastic start, defeating Caulfield.

The highlight of the season came against St Kevins as we took our second win in spectacular fashion. Bowling first in front of the College crowd, we found ourselves well out of the game.

But a resurgence in the field and impressive fast bowling by Ned Hicks and Josh High in the twilight session and all of a sudden we found ourselves on top. A stunning opening partnership brought us home as Liam Blackford and Sam Bain combined for over 150 runs. Other impressive contributions in the two day format included Sam Geary's well earnt 5/59, Liam Blackford's outstanding 112, and James Potts' incredible 123 against archrivals Geelong Grammar.

Our coaches Scott Lindsay, Greg Hansen and Tim Ludeman spent a great amount of time and effort ensuring our improvement individually and as a team. This illustrated their commitment to helping us grow both as cricketers and as people. This year was about development and was widely regarded as a success, so we thank them for their dedication to the program.

144

The 2nd XI finished with two wins from their 10 matches. The boys performed valiantly all season and ensured that their opposition left knowing that they were not a team to be taken lightly. Strong performances from Stirling Shier and Matt Thacker with the bat did not go unnoticed, nor did the efforts of the battlers Nick Delaney and captain Tim Lazzaro, who both took key wickets on a consistent basis. A victory against Xavier was the highlight as the team combined for a fantastic win.

A huge thanks to coaches Stephen Anastasiu and Ian Sahlstrom for providing inspiration, encouragement and great humour regardless of the situation.

The 3rd eleven (4ths section) had a good season, although they did not come away with any wins They were involved in several close losses, three of them by less than 10 runs. Some strong performances from Steve Lewis and James Richardson kept them in most matches. Thanks to Mr Dan Clifford for stepping in to work with these boys and making the season enjoyable.

The 9As had a challenging season but signs of improvement were clear as the season went on, winning two of five matches.

Some highlights included Tom Gross's hat trick and five wicket haul, Cooper Hayes' valiant 70, Hamish Boyd-Walsh's six wickets from two matches and Archie Bain's spell of 4/31 against Carey. A side with a bright future; they learnt a great deal throughout the season and will no doubt go on to succeed at a higher level. A huge thank you to coaches Daniel Fanning and Brendan Parker for the time and effort they put into helping these boys grow as cricketers.

The 9Cs had a very successful post-Christmas campaign.

Consistent runs from Jack Bone and Barnaby Williams saw the side enjoy great success as they managed to go undefeated, illustrating the depth in the program. Thanks must go to Jason Doherty for all his support and guidance throughout the season.

Cricket Quadrangular - New Zealand On the 12th of January 2019 a squad of 14 players set out for Christchurch with high hopes that we would be returning in eight days' time with a trophy in hand. After a long trip we arrived at St Andrews College Christchurch and were quickly made to feel at home with a welcome barbecue, which helped us to settle in and form friendships with the students we would be competing against. Over the course of the week we were treated to outstanding facilities at St. Andrews as well as mostly favourable Christchurch weather, which contributed to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

The boys had a great all-round week with bat, ball, and in the field. I feel confident in saying that every player in the squad contributed to our success in some way. I am very proud of the team's performance with College taking home the trophy for the third time - more than any other school in the quad tournament. The team showed their class in the SOover format, winning three out of three games comfortably.

Significant contributions to these games included seven wickets from Oscar Dowling, 230 runs from Liam Blackford, and 50s to Ed Kol and Charlie Hurst. We witnessed flashes of brilliance from Ned Hicks bowling a perfect wicket maiden over of line and length, and from Sam Geary with a slower ball wicket that swung the momentum our way in the final.

Our form continued with one win out of two 20-over games on the final day, highlighted by another 40 runs from Liam Blackford, a 50 to Charlie Lazzaro to top off his ten catches for the tournament, and a half century from young gun Tom O'Brien. I'm very proud of the young players who stood up and showed their class against opposition teams who were mostly older than them. It shows the maturity and talent of our players and the depth of the cricket program.

Huge thanks go to Mr Carroll for organising the trip, to Mr Thacker for coming along and helping the boys and to Scott and Greg, the trip couldn't have happened without them and for that we are very thankful. I look forward to hearing about the boys defending their title next season.

Rowing The 2018/19 APS rowing season saw many notable achievements both on and off the water for all members of the boat shed. It was fantastic to see the tremendous hard work and dedication of students and coaches involved in the program with 191 students making up 33 crews. Each member of the boat club was committed to the success and development of their crews to make them go as fast as possible. This provided countless successes in both the junior and senior divisions.

The 2019 boys squad had a great season for all ages and crews.

The squad consisted of: • • • •

1st, 2nd and 3rd Vllls Senior Coxed Four Year 10 Coxed Eight and Year 10 Coxed Four Eight Year 9 Coxed Quads

The boys approached The Head of the River confident in themselves and their crewmates, with many hours and kilometres under their belts. The day was very rewarding for the boys, with the results of months of hard work being displayed in front of the many spectators. All the boys came off the river knowing that they had given it their all. The Senior Boys 2nd and 3rd Vllls, the senior Coxed IV and Year 10 Coxed IV and the division 1 and 3 Year 9 Coxed Quads made it to A Finals. Despite unfortunately missing out on the A final, the Boys 1st VIII put in an enormous effort to row their fastest time of the year in a very congested heat and then won the B Final comfortably.

The female squad consisted of: • • • •

148

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Vllls Six Year 10 Coxed Fours Four Year 9 Coxed Quads and Six Year 9 Coxed Fours

The girls once again approached the annual Head of Schoolgirls Regatta with determination, resulting in many crews achieving their season personal bests. The weekend resulted in: • • • • • •

Year 10 Girls Coxed Four Division 1 making the A Final Year 9 Coxed Four Division 2 and 6 winning their A Finals Year 9 Coxed Four Division 4 placing 2nd in their A Final Year 10 Coxed Four Division 6 placing 3rd in their A Final Year 10 Coxed Four Division 3 placing 2nd in their A Final Girls 1st VIII placing 2nd in the A Final of the Girls Coxed Eight Division 1

The 2nd and 3rd Vllls narrowly missed out on their A finals. The Girls 2nd VIII displayed determination to dominate and win the B final, with the Girls 3rds having an excellent row to finish 2nd. The Girls 1st VIII had a very exciting weekend displaying teamwork and determination to piece together three excellent races across the weekend and come away with a silver medal in the blue-ribbon event.

The Head of the River was again a great opportunity for the girls to compete at their highest level and see if they could have their fastest race of the season. All girls competed extremely well in some very trying and windy conditions. The effort that all girls demonstrated was a credit to each crew and their determination.

The girls experienced some great results in the finals at the Head of the River: • • • •

Year 9 Coxed Four Division 1, 2 & 3 winning their races Year 9 Coxed Quad Sculls Division 3 winning their race Year 10 Coxed 4 Division 3 winning their race Senior Girls 1st, 2nd and 3rd Vllls all finishing a very close 2nd

The senior girls are enormously proud of the resilient and determined individuals that make up our crews, sharing experiences like junior and senior rowing camps on the Barwon, national championships in Penrith, countless regattas and crew pasta nights.

Girls 1st VIII Rowing 2nd Row: Lilly Tierney. Tessa Longden. Lily Mathews. Kate Dowling. Holly Lazarus. John Hill (Coach) 1st Row: Emily Bagnara. Arny Thornton. Olivia Mathias. Eliza Gross

As captains we would like to thank all coaches who guided our College crews throughout the season to help us reach our technical goals and improve from one race to the next. The effort that our coaches put in does not go unnoticed along with the work of all teaching staff, parents and Fletch. Thank you to the many people who have provided the opportunity for all students to compete for Geelong College. We wish all new and returning students all the very best to train hard and enjoy the opportunity to compete to their highest effort and intensity.

Nationals

In a hot final the boys rowed extremely well to just miss out on the medals but recorded a very slick time of 6.44:98 in their heat. The boys then combined to finish their campaign off in the Schoolboys 8 where they showed huge effort and resilience to compete to the highest standard. The boys narrowly missed out on the A Final after rowing an excellent semi-final race in terrible conditions, beating several crews much bigger than ours. The boys had an awesome final race of the season, finishing 4th in the B Final with only 2.38 seconds difference between 1st and 4th.

Angus Jackman & Holly Lazarus, Captains of Boats

The Girls and Boys 1st Vllls had a terrific opportunity to compete at the National Rowing Championships in Penrith.

The Girls 1st VIII divided into two Coxed 4s to compete in the U/19 Women's Coxed 4s, with both crews winning through to the A Final. The crew of Eliza Gross, Lily Tierney, Amy Thornton, Holly Lazarus and Kate Dowling had a fantastic final to win a bronze medal. Both crews had only two rows together before the A Final. The second crew of Jess Malone, Emily Bagnara, Tessa Longden, Lily Matthews and Olivia Mathias had a great row in the final, placing 7th. The girls then combined to finish 5th in the A Final of the Schoolgirls Coxed 8 event. The girls rowed extremely well to complete their fastest time of the year for the 2km course in their heat, finishing it in 6.49:03.

The boys too had a great regatta in small boats, Xavier HallSullivan continued to impress in his single scull to place 4th in the B Final and 11th out of 33 scullers in the nation. Geordie Whittakers also competed in the U/19 Men's Single Scull. This was Geordie's second sculling regatta and he showed great skill and speed in his heat and repechage races. Doug Bell and Will Rees competed in the U/19 Men's Coxless Pair. The boys went from strength to strength, having their best row in their final race to win the B Final and be 6 seconds faster than the 7th placed A Final crew. Ben Gadd, Bryce Nurnaitis, Will Page, Ed Callan and Oscar Illingworth competed in the U/19 Men's Coxed 4s, wining straight through to the A Final.

Equestrian The Geelong College Equestrian team had an outstanding 2019.

The team consists of talented athletes from Middle School and Senior School performing in multiple disciplines including show jumping, cross-country, showing, dressage and novelties.

The team were extremely dedicated and devoted which was reflected in the results achieved.

These equestrian enthusiasts work extremely hard behind the scenes to produce their results. The majority of riders feed horses, clean stables and ride in the morning and after school.

The competitions are typically over the weekend which means nonstop horsing around until the late drive home on a Sunday night. Our riders are extremely dedicated to their sport and work hard to produce the best results.

The above mentioned performances only include a few of the events our team has been involved in. However, it is clear that we continue to be competitive and proud of achievements and involvement in the lnterschool equestrian networks.

Thankyou to our dedicated and supportive parents who are always willing to assist the team with setup, marshalling and the huge range of tasks any event requires. Thankyou to Mr KaylerThomson for his encouragment, support and guidance as TIC of the Geelong College Equestrian Team.

Georgia Adams, Captain

Starting the year off well Olivia Batten, Shayleigh Jobi in, Elsie Callahan, Ella McCann, Phoebe Calvert, Maddison Rodgers and Georgia Adams competed at Geelong Grammar's lnterschool event. Many notable performances were recorded and the day was a huge success.

At Geelong Horse Trials, Tansy Sagar competed in the CCNl * class on Kia Ora Charma, and Ella McCann competed in the EV A 80 class on ESB Irish Tour. Both girls were very competitive and performed strongly.

At the Braemar interschool show jumping, Ella McCann was awarded reserve champion riding EBs Irish Tour in the progressive section which was a great effort.

Continuing the amazing start to the season the team competed in the Victorian Equestrian lnterschool Series. The TGC Team placed 10th in Show Jumping and 10th in Dressage out of the 92 Victorian schools that competed in the series.

Shayleigh Joblin, Tansy Sagar and Georgia Adams also competed at the Australian lnterschool Championships in Sydney. All competed to the best of their abilities against riders representing Australia and New Zealand with some really strong performances for all involved.

Tennis Boys Tennis The 1st Boys' 2019 Tennis season was once again very enjoyable. Although the team struggled for wins this season, everyone went out with a positive attitude each week and played their best against the top players in the APS competition, With wonderful coaching and support from Matt Hicks, there was great improvement observed over the season, with the boys playing some fantastic tennis during the last few weeks.

As the only Year 12 player, and with all other team members still at College next year, the future looks very bright for these young players. Sam Rowbottom (Vice-captain), Max Kokalis and Beau Bartley were our Year 11 representatives; Max Booker, Zac Norton, Xavier Tresidder and Labe Silaxa (Year 10); and the remainder of the team comprised very talented young players in Tom Mason (Year 9) and Edward Beehag (Year 8), The 2nd Boys' season was also a tough one, having to face many strong teams from Melbourne schools. This year's team, coached again by Nathan Mayes, was very promising. Each week their effort and determination resulted in a number of close matches with some great wins in tight sets.

The 3rd, 4th and Sths had a few players shifting between teams as the season went on: as everyone improved, some players moved up for a chance to face tougher competition. Overall, the boys had a lot of fun, training and playing tennis; everyone bonded well and achieved some great results over the whole season.

154

The three Year 10 teams had many close matches over the course of the season, often finding themselves winning. The 10A team, coached by Phil Rich, achieved some excellent results at the top level for this year group. With a great work ethic and communication on the court, this group of boys will be sure to translate their great results into senior tennis. The 10B and l0C teams, also had a number of well-deserved successes and improved their skills over the season.

The 9A and 9Cs were very competitive against tough competition with consistent, strong performances. As the youngest teams at Senior School, they showed great improvement throughout the season with many players also looking promising for the future.

Overall, it has been a great year for Boys' tennis with many teams and individuals showing that we are able to compete against bigger Melbourne schools, I'd like to thank all of the coaches and teachers for their help and wish all teams the best for next season.

Girls Tennis The 2018/19 girls' tennis season has been one of the most rewarding and successful seasons for all teams. The hard work and determination displayed by all of the girls paid off in many hard-fought matches.

The firsts had their best overall outcome in many years, placing second to the worthy winners Wesley. We came away with only two losses and six credible wins. This year the team was comprised of highly skilled players from Years l0to 12 who each brought strength and determination to match day and trainings.

Through the tough matches and incredible wins, all players supported and encouraged each other to get the best out of their tennis. The great sportsmanship, enjoyment displayed and encouragement of each other made me proud to be the captain of the firsts team. Thanks go to our coach, Evie Dominikovic, whose 'leave it all out on the court' mentality pushed our girls to improve and become the best tennis players that we could be.

Special thanks to my Vice-captain Rose Hosking and fellow Year 12s Jacqui Greer and Neddy Blight, who proved to be wonderful role models for the younger members, putting in 110% effort 100% of the time at training and in matches. As for the Year 10s and 1 ls, I wish you luck for the coming seasons, but I know leaving College tennis in the hands of these capable players, they should have no troubles, The 2nds Blue, coached by the adored Sue Anderson also had some very convincing wins over the year, managing to credibly defeat Caufield, 12 sets to none and former firsts side Assumption, 9 sets to 3. Their determination and courage shown at training and on match day clearly paid off and saw them all improve over the year. A massive thank you goes to the positive enthusiasm Sue showed in coaching the girls this year, The 2nds Green had some tough matches but did not become disheartened, remaining positive and cheery each week.

Under the guidance of Connor Flanagan, the girls continued to improve with each strong competitor they faced, taking it up to them every week, The 3rds Green showed amazing determination throughout the season and scored massive wins over Carey and Ivanhoe, winning 11 sets to one. Mrs Guillermina Ulloa never failed to bring her positive attitude each week and encouraged the girls to strive and improve. The 3rds Blue have also been strong contenders in their division, coached by Claudia Conway. They pulled out some strong wins against the tough Melbourne competitors.

I commend all senior girls' teams and their coaches on their effort this year and the determination, courage and sportsmanship that was demonstrated on court each and every week.

The Inter As have proven strong in their competition and have been quite successful this year, led by Ryan Meehan, They put in 100% effort and impressed all season, becoming the best players they could be. The Inter Cs also remained strong throughout the season, coached by Delaney Ryan-Conn.

They have held their own and displayed some quality tennis throughout the year.

A massive thanks goes to Mrs Filling, who single-handedly manages and organises the tennis program week by week, Without her positive encouragement and support, the girls' tennis season would not have been as successful as it was. The time and effort she puts in certainly does not go unnoticed, Thanks to the tennis parent support group, led by Trudy Booker, for organizing welcome evenings, hampers, raffles and an amazing spread every Saturday morning, I hope next year's tennis season is as enjoyable and successful as this one was.

Softball The 2019 Softball Summer season was filled with many amazing games, plays and memories. The Junior, Intermediate and Seconds teams consisted of highly dedicated girls who exceeded the expectations of their coaches. In the many games played against competing APS schools, not only the scores, but the work and team effort observed on the field made this year's softball season memorable.

The Junior team coached by Ms Pelletier achieved impressive scores especially for a team that included a number of new as well as experienced softballers. In the game against Wesley College, they scored 21-1 with Cheyenne Philpott, Mikayla Mclachlan and Samantha Bird best on field. Only hard work and team spirit could have brought about this result, and all girls should be extremely proud of the effort, devotion and enthusiasm they have shown. With their potential they are bound to prosper in coming seasons.

The Intermediate team was filled with girls of various ages and experience. The majority of their games ended in wins or very close scores. Outstanding players across the season, noted by their coach Lynne Wilmott, were Catie Hodge, Louisa Bath and Anneliese Jones. All players were recognised as strong leaders and cooperated during matches to form a strong crew. The Intermediates enjoyed an exciting journey as they learnt new techniques, skills and strategy-based plays.

160

For Year 12 softballers, playing in the Seconds team was their most eventful and memorable season. With new girls joining at the start of the season, and girls playing since Year 7, the team was an inspiration to all as they only lost one game throughout the whole season just missing out on the 'undefeated team' title. The girls still consider this season to be remarkable as their effort, commitment and perseverance in games and training, contributed to amazing results including scores of 21-1 and 21-4 against Geelong Grammar and Wesley College respectively. This could not have been achieved without their enthusiastic and kind-hearted coach Shannon Dunn.

It is difficult to pick out the best players, as all girls showed impressive skills and growth on the field. It is fair to say that for all, the 2019 softball season was their best.

Gee long College's season of softball was incredibly successful and would not have been possible without the organisation of Ms Pelletier and Madame Chabant. A huge thank you to all coaches and staff who helped our softballers this year by encouraging them to play their best and for supporting them throughout the many weeks of training.

Golf AGSV Golf Tournament Spring Valley Golf Course, April 1st On April 1st four Geelong College students attended the annual Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria Invitational Golf Championship held at the Spring Valley Golf Club in Melbourne.

Jack Bone, Max Green, Noah Guida and Cooper Hayes represented the College against some of the best junior golfers from the AGSV, on one of the more testing private sand belt courses in the Melbourne metropolitan area. The cool, overcast and very still conditions were perfect for golf. Teams of four represented each school.

While individual and team honours were on offer, so too was the opportunity for half the field to make the cut and progress to an invitational event at the Long Island Golf Club. Not a breath of wind stirred the trees as the students hit off on various holes in a shotgun start. Despite the perfect conditions, our students soon discovered the challenges, that a lengthy unfamiliar course can offer. The narrow fairways, overhanging trees and thick rough in many places off the fairway made straight driving off the tee critical. The greens, protected by often cavernous bunkers, also presented some challenges.

Max Green seemed to be driving well in the early going but the challenge lay in maintaining consistency against formidable junior golfers, many of whom were more familiar with the course. Year 9 student Jack Bone commenced the first 9 holes striking the ball well off the tee. Jack hit fairways consistently and often put himself in good position for frequent medium irons into greens. Noah and Cooper may have found the quality of the company and the landscape more intimidating, but they gained experience in tournament play and tested their skills negotiating long and challenging holes. The par threes offered little respite. Numerous bunkers guarding the greens on the shorter holes, left little margin for error.

Yarra Valley Grammar school, perhaps with an edge in local knowledge, emerged victorious with a combined team score of 224, five shots clear of Caulfield Grammar. Haileybury College finished third. Jack Holland from Haileybury College was crowned the individual winner, shooting 71 off the stick.

The Geelong College team finished in a respectable 12th place. Max Green and Jack Bone, with individual scores of 85 and 95 respectively qualified for the Long Island Invitational Tournament. All students should be congratulated for their efforts and sportsmanship. The organisers should be proud of the quality of the field and the smooth organisation of a highly entertaining and enjoyable tournament. Great credit should also be given to our students, for the tenacity and persistence evident in their play.

Noel Kelson On 23rd August, eight Geelong College students represented the school at the annual GISSA Golf tournament held at Curlewis Golf Club. The boys competed against schools in the local Geelong region, four students in an individual stroke competition and four in an individual stableford competition.

All performed extremely well. Standout performances included Charlie Larson finishing second in the stroke competition scoring 71 and Charlie Cox taking out the stableford competition with a score of 33 points. Special mention must go to Ted O'Malley who won 'nearest to the pin' on the 8th hole.

Congratulations to all the boys for a fantastic day and we look forward to seeing more College students participating in this great competition in the coming years.

Matt Dowling

The length and constant challenge of the longer holes created havoc for many during the latter half of the round. Scoring par or better on holes in the back half of the event seemed challenging for most golfers.

Swimming Boys Swimming The 2018/19 swimming season began with early morning and afternoon sessions where we were met with an enthusiastic grin from boys' coach Dean Alchin, accompanied by an exciting and challenging warm-up written on the whiteboard by girls' coach Liesel Fraser. As the weeks progressed in Term 4 and the swimming training began to heat up, it was clear that the hard work and dedication had uncovered our hidden talents in the water, The increasing attendance at the sessions overfilled the lanes and produced a distinct culture which set the tone for the remainder of the season, The official 2019 swimming season began with chaotic Saturday mornings as the Geelong College and Geelong Grammar School boys combined as Geelong, This at first presented some difficulty with the mix of new faces, but within weeks the chemistry built, and the mateships began to form. The competitiveness and ownership of our individual performances proved to be key traits we maintained throughout the season, All members of the team were willing to put their hand up when necessary and help each other out, Whether it was to fill a race, or lend a cap or goggles, the boys were professional and honest in their actions.

The 2019 GISSA swimming carnival was a highlight for all boys, It was a great opportunity for us to swim against some of the fastest competitors from eight Geelong Independent schools, The boys finished in 3rd place overall which was a fantastic effort, It was an exciting afternoon filled with many close races, personal best times and several impressive individual and team achievements.

162

After many tireless swimming sessions and hard fought times in Saturday meets, the boys swimming season concluded with one final evening; the APS Boys' combined swimming final. It was an exciting evening where the dedication, pride and hard work of all students in the swim team was demonstrated. The Geelong Combined boys ended the night on a high, with 44 personal best times among many inspiring efforts.

I would like to express my thanks on behalf of all boys involved in the program. Thank you to the staff who work tirelessly to make the program happen with their positivity and encouragement.

To Mr Phil Taylor for the incredible organisation, passion and commitment you give to the program, we thank you. Finally, a big thank you to our fantastic coaches Dean Al chin and Liesel Fraser, Without you the program would not be as successful and enjoyable as it has been for years.

I know that I speak on behalf of my Vice-captain James Paterson, it has been an honour to represent The Geelong College Swim team in our sixth year of APS Swimming, As Captain, I am proud to have led a team of dedicated and hardworking swimmers this season. I am confident that the future of the program will be left to a group of humble and fearless men, to whom I wish all the best for the promising years ahead, Mitch Taylor, Captain

Girls Swimming Girls swimming has had a great season, with excellent results, growth and development. Our coaches for this season, Dean Alchin and Liesel Fraser showed amazing attitudes towards all the girls and the swimming program. We appreciate everything they've done for us, for all the early mornings and long trips to Melbourne. We couldn't have made it through the season without their hard work and dedication and all they've done for us didn't go unnoticed. All the girls showed great commitment to the sport and made a seemingly individual sport feel far more like a team one. It was truly a fun and enjoyable season last season for us.

Though we didn't have many competitions based on points and we struggled with numbers against some of the bigger schools, we managed to hold our own and give them a run for their money. Who knew that one swim team could go through Skgs of lollies in one season, but these were definitely deserved for all the hard work that was put in. On Saturdays, our ever-changing relay teams definitely brought us together with new-found friendships, mixing within year levels and even Middle School and Senior School.

The main highlight of our season was the much-anticipated APS finals night. This brought to the forefront all the hard work put into the season and resulted in well-deserved results. This was evident especially with Sophie Blackford winning the Open 50m breaststroke and Romy Heard winning the freestyle and backstroke and placing second in breaststroke. We also had Lucy Young placing 3rd in the Open 50 Butterfly, Grace Harris finishing 2nd in the open 50m freestyle and 3rd in the 100m freestyle and Maya Peele placing 3rd in the 50m backstroke. The Open Girls came away with equal 1st in the Medley relay and 3rd in the Freestyle relay.

We would like to thank Mr Phil Taylor, the Teacher in Charge of swimming, for organising and doing such a wonderful job.

We would also like to thank Mrs Smith, Ms Henning, Mr Greg Smith and Ms Oates for helping at home and away meets and trainings. The future is looking bright for The Geelong College girls' swimming and we wish them luck for the future years.

Jessica Loftus & Lucy Young, Co-captains

One of the highlights of our season was the GISSA swimming competition. This saw us up against the best of the best in Geelong. It was great to see girls stepping up and getting out of their comfort zone. This competition challenged us and brought many PBs which gave us confidence leading into the APS finals night.

Diving Boys Diving Boys' diving this year has been different from previous years, with many Year 11 and 12 students opting to join the elite diving squad. At first, Mrs Ratcliffe thought that having 15 Year 12 boys at the one diving session would be a nightmare, but she soon found out that we were very committed to the sport.

The divers enjoyed many highlights in trainings and meets, including George Laurie's double reverse, Ryan Holroyd's 1 ½ inward, Alex Jarman's incredible technique and Paddy Heyward and Oli Fernandez's multiple podium finishes. Despite teams like Carey, Brighton and Melbourne Grammar generally dominating in all competitions, we matched their skill with the camaraderie and enthusiasm we displayed for each other on the boards.

On Wednesday 27th of March, the selected team consisting of Oscar Roberts, Alexander Jarman, Charlie Rahdon, Will Mithen, Owen Howell, Henry Collins, Paddy Heyward, Harry West, Tanna Comben and Oli Fernandez competed at the APS diving finals.

All performed outstandingly with eight of the boys placing 5th or higher. College's 3rd placing overall for diving was our highest achievement in many years.

Congratulations to all the divers on a fine result and thank you to our coaches George Niewman, Courtney Gow, Grace Byrnes and Grant Nel for always helping improve our skills. Thanks must also go to Mrs Ratcliffe, Mrs McGucken, Mrs Shier, Mrs Porter and Mrs Sinnott for the support that made all the competitions and trainings happen so smoothly.

Girls Diving This year's season has been a very positive one, as we have seen great improvements in divers in all age groups. The girls consistently showed up to training and competitions, and we also saw regular podium finishes from many, which was great.

It has also been good to see the diving squad increase in number and potential with each new season. This year's squad included more than 30 team members. Over this season we have seen lots of improvement in the squad and podium finishes from Sienna Young, Ruby Fouracre, Lily-Mei Jacob-Mudford and Tijanna Young. Twelve fantastic divers competed at the APS finals, in age groups ranging from U14 to open. The rest of the squad significantly contributed to the season and we have very exciting new divers who are looking great for the coming years.

Memorable performances on the APS finals night included Ella King who came 2nd in the Under 14 B division with a personal best of Bl points, Alex Lang-Boyd who came 3rd in the Under 15 B division, Matilda Abikhairwho came 2nd in the Under 16 A division, and Olivia Batten coming 2nd in the open division by 0.5 of a point. There were many other great dives on the night.

A big thank you to Ms McGucken, Ms Ratcliffe and Ms Shier along with our wonderful coaches George Niewman, Courtney Gow, Grace Byrnes and our newest member Grant Nel for dedicating their time to helping all of us improve and for making the season great. Good luck to all the divers in the coming years.

Cross Country Boys Cross country The boys' Cross-Country team had one of its best seasons in recent years, despite the relatively low numbers competing.

Boys' Cross Country consists of two age divisions with over 120 athletes competing each week, The Intermediate boys were our most competitive division from the start of the season. Our best performances came from the Year 10 duo, Patrick Whan and Will Jarman, who were extremely consistent, finishing within 20th and 30th position on their three starts, while young gun Eduard Wissfield had his best runs finishing 12th and 4th, In the Seniors, Kevin Zhang and Oliver Soo recorded three top 100 finishes each, They both had bests of 89th placing. These were great results taking into account that Oli faced shin splints throughout the majority of the season and Kevin had never run 6km before his round one debut. Most impressive was recruit Hamish Dobie, who turned down soccer opportunities with the 1st team to get in shape for athletics. Hamish finished within the top 50 in four of six races and will be great to watch in the upcoming athletics season.

166

Our best efforts came at the GISSA cross country, with the team collecting two gold medals and a bronze, including Eduard Wissfield's win by almost a minute. We then turned our main attention to the State Championships; our chance to take on the rest of the state and to qualify for the National Championships, Eduard kicked us off and had a great start to come out with the main pack, only falling behind in the last kilometre to finish strongly for 23rd and narrowly missing National selection by 14 seconds, Having four runners entered in the Under 17 and Under 18 events, we were certain to have an exciting race ahead ofus. With coach Max Lazarus' experience, we all understood how important it was to get out in front and not spend the rest of the race playing catch-up. Will Jarman and Pat Whan had great races finishing 64th and 66th respectively.

Hamish Dobie had a great final 2km to come home 44th ,

Overall, the season has been a tough but enjoyable one, It is a credit to the boys for working hard every session and every race, We are looking forward to entering a team who will play for APS premiership points next year; a massive achievement for us.

We thank Graeme Watkins, Erica Fountain, Coreena Cleland and Max Lazarus for being such great coaches and for helping us to be our best in every race.

Shooting The Geelong College Shooting team which has expanded each year, had a very rewarding and enjoyable season, The team is made up of a talented mix of Middle and Senior School students, Our season kicked off with a long bus trip to Echuca, where we stayed overnight at the caravan park. The next day we shot at Bar-Rook, Hamish Boyd-Walsh and Dougal Doery provided some standout performances, with a 4th place from Dougal. The boys competed in Lilydale, Noorat, Benalla and Warrnambool and they have been up against at least 250 other secondary school students, Throughout the year we competed in a range of events such as Field & Game, Down the Line and Skeet.

The boys quickly adapted to the events and produced great results. It's fantastic to see young and emerging talents such as Max Bluml, Zak Bullmore and Jack Richmond all enjoying and promoting the sport at the Middle School. All of our team members have shown great commitment and have improved immensely, The Geelong College shooting team offers a terrific co-curricular activity that is very different from any other sporting experience. The boys were all extremely lucky to be a part of it and we really do appreciate all the effort and hard work both Mr Kayler-Thomson and Mr Cebergs have put in.

Girls Cross country

Fellow team members, Pia Falk, Sarah Alhadi, Lily Morgan and Sophia Powers were valued team contributors who ran consistently throughout the season.

The 2019 Cross Country season was most enjoyable and exciting. The girls' team placed 3rd overall behind talented Wesley and Haileybury Colleges but in front of the always competitive Caulfield and Carey Grammar, PEGS and Geelong Grammar. This is a solid result for the College and one we should all be proud of.

The girls' squad, made up of athletes from Years 7-12, consistently improved over the season. We competed at three rounds of Athletics Victoria Relays and six rounds of APS Cross Country running.

All team members were committed to achieve each week and results indicated that our tough and intense training sessions paid off.

The most successful and enjoyable races of the season were the State Cross Country and Road Racing Relays. The relay event was held at Jells Park and our U18 Girls' team included Mia Kemp, Cassidy Bradshaw, Skye Ellis and Olivia Richardson.

The racing was very close and exciting to watch as placings changed with each leg, ultimately seeing us finish 2nd to take the State silver medal. A couple of weeks later, the same U18 team took to road racing at the State Road Relay Championships held at Princess Park, Carlton. The team placed 3rd taking the State bronze medal. Sophie Walker, Connie Dunkley- Smith, Lucia Buchanan Martschinke and Alice Kennedy formed our other U18 team. They all ran very competitively to finish a solid 30th overall.

Nick Burke

The State All-Schools Cross-Country Championship at Bundoora was a very tough and challenging day for all. Mia Kemp raced courageously, to finish 13th overall in the U16 Division, Cassidy Bradshaw showed her versatility switching things up from pole vaulting with a strong race, finishing 20th in the Ul 7 girls. Skye Ellis ran amazingly to finish 4th in the U17 Division, earning her selection in the Victorian team. Skye went on to place 11th at the Australian Cross-Country Championships in Wollongong and was part of the Victorian team who claimed a bronze medal in the U18 Division. Connie Dunkley-Smith and Sophie Walker are to be congratulated on their efforts and commitment to racing, and for being great representatives of the College, Our squad of runners are appreciative of the guidance and expertise of our dedicated coaches, Under the terrific instruction of our TIC and Senior Coach, Graeme Watkins, as well as Coreena Cleland, Erica Fountain and Max Lazarus, all girls improved their standings as the season progressed, The coaching staff are to be congratulated on their efforts in keeping runners injury-free with improvements and peak performances achieved.

It has been an enjoyable honour captaining the team this year and I look forward to seeing what this very competitive squad of amazing athletes can achieve next year.

Olivia Richardson, Captain

During the six rounds of APS Cross Country, we often had four runners placing in the top 20, in a field ofG0-100 girls each week.

Outstanding performances for the season were Skye EIiis's placings, ranging from 3rd to 8th, and Mia Kemp having three top 10 performances for the season, which earned the girls a place in the APS representative team.

Water Polo Boys Water Polo The 2019 Geelong College boys' water polo season was full of success, improvement and great camaraderie. This year we were able to have two boys' teams in the APS Competition.

The Year 9/10 team consisted of many new players, with most having never played water polo before. Despite their inexperience, the boys put in a great effort every week at training and games, improving much over the course of the season. The boys faced a rough start, coming up against Melbourne Grammar. Despite losing 14-0, they took away many valuable lessons from the game. The following week, they came up against a strong, experienced St. Kevin's side. They were unlucky to not get on the scoresheet, losing 8-0. Rounds 3, 4 and 5 saw the boys unfazed by the challenge, putting in an impressive effort to slowly improve each week. The boys kept their best for last, making an immense effort against Melbourne Grammar's 2nd Team, coming away with a 5-3 win, much to the delight of the whole team and their coach, Charlie Batrouney.

The 2nd Boys team was slightly undermanned this year, having lost some key players from last year. Despite this, they enjoyed an incredibly successful season. Starting off the season strong with a 9-4 win against Wesley, the game provided a glimpse of things to come. The next game saw the 2nds come up against our cross-town rivals, Geelong Grammar. Our relatively slight team was outmuscled in the pool by the Grammar boys, however incredible teamwork and ball control saw the boys scoring a goal in the dying seconds, with the game finishing 8- 7.

The following morning they came up against Caulfield. Spurred on by the previous night's victory, they came away with a 7-5 win. The following week the 2nds played Xavier College, whose 2nd division team outclassed many in the 1st division. The boys fell to their first defeat for the season, losing 14-1.

168

The final game of the season was a rematch at the request of Geelong Grammar, this time at the College pool. The boys rose to the challenge, putting in another fantastic performance against the determined Grammar side, and came away with a 6-4 win. This was as exciting as a Grand Final win for the whole team and coaching staff.

This season would not have been possible without our coaches; Dean Alchin, Perry Gaylard, Grace Gaylard and Charlie Batrouney, who helped us improve every week and become the best players we all could be. A huge thank you must also go to our TIC Ms. Utting, without whom this awesome season would not have been possible.

Girls Water Polo As a spring sport, Water polo's season is a short action-packed one. The girls managed to have three teams this year; a 1st girls, 2nd girls and a combined Year 9 and 10 team. Suffering from losing many talented Year 12s from last season, many of the younger and new players stepped up to take their place and the depth of College Water polo was put on display. As one of the smallest schools, fielding three, very competitive sides was a great feat and one that should be celebrated.

From the preseason beginning at the end of Term 2, the girls worked hard and put in many early mornings. We were able to train as a girls' group and also as senior and junior teams, mixing with the boys. This allowed for great development across the board as we learnt from one another and our coaches.

A big thank you must go to Perry Gayla rd the coach of the 1st girls, Grace Gaylard the coach of the 2nd girls, Liesel Fraser the coach of the 9/10 girls team and Dean Alchin for helping with all teams. Without their dedication we would not have been able to improve the way we all did, nor have the amount offun we did. Our TIC Ms Utting should also be thanked for putting the program together. The hours and work she put in allowed us to have the season we did. Thanks to all the girls for their commitment and hard work throughout the season.

As an optional spring sport, it is great to see so many girls participating this season. Best ofluck to the Geelong College teams going forward.

The 1st girls team had some ups and downs this season, losing games that we had anticipated as wins. However, as a young developing side, we were able to grow and showed great improvement through the games. We ended up with one win against Carey and we got as close to the team that won the competition as any side had throughout the season. With many young players making their debut in the side, the future looks bright.

The 2nd girls had a wonderful season with many girls playing their first season ofWaterpolo. They all showed enormous growth and development throughout the games and look set to continue this progress next season. They ended up winning six of their eight games and made a real mark on the larger Melbourne schools.

The Year 9 and 10 team showed immense improvement throughout the season. Coached by Liesel Fraser, who herself had moved through the ranks of Gee long College Waterpolo, the girls thrived. They developed their skills and with these girls continuing to come up the ranks the future looks bright. They ended the season with; one draw, two wins and two losses.

A select group of students headed down to Phillip Island to compete in the Independent School Surfing Titles. The swell was really big, so the event was moved to Smiths Beach. We were greeted with 4-foot waves and offshore conditions; however, the bank was often closing out and the rip was challenging to stay in the right position. First up was the girls' team which consisted of Minnie Vorrath, Tessa Longden, Andie Taylor and Lily Harris. They surfed really well, placing second in their heat to make it into the final. The mixed team, consisting of Spencer Kay, Patrick Horoch, Nicholas Horoch, Ned Evans, Minnie Vorrath, Jye Bartley, Charlie Farrer and Charlie Cox made it into the semi-final where they placed 3rd by the smallest of margins. There were some standout performances, notably Patrick Horoch, Spencer Kay and Charlie Farrer. Finally, the girls' final saw a tightly contested competition, with Minnie surfing incredibly well. Eventually we finished 3rd which is an amazing effort.

Mr Robbins, Teacher in Charge

Surf league On Friday 1 March in searing heat, 30 students from The Geelong College's surf lifesaving team met at Cosy Corner in Torquay.

The day started with beach events before the sand got too hot.

All competitors started with a 1km beach run for a warm up.

Flags, beach sprints and relays were then completed before anyone was allowed to hit the water.

The temperature had reached over 34C by 10.30am and the surf race was a good way to cool off. Onto the board race, then the wade race saw the temperature teetering towards the 36C cutoff mark. The Aqua Cameron was the last race before 3 7.SC was reached and the carnival was stopped.

Some highlights for the College included: Grace Harris won the 1km, sprint, board race and 2nd in the wade; Paddy Ryan won the flags, 1km run and sprint; Angel Atkinson won the surf race and the relay. All members combined for the Aqua Camerons, where TGC placed very well. Jasper Atkinson won the sprint, wade and Aqua Cameron, while Jack Ellis won his 1km run.

Girls Badminton

The 2019 summer season saw many great results across all three of the boys' badminton teams. All of the boys approached training positively with a genuine desire to improve, and this was reflected in the successful season.

You might think that badminton is all about hitting the shuttle with a racket, but the truth is, there is a lot of emphasis on footwork. Moving around the court with ease is crucial to any badminton game, especially singles.

One team that noticeably improved in skill and attitude over the course of the season were the 3rds. With players ranging from Years 7 to 12, their games were always great to watch as everyone tried their best, no matter how much older or younger their opponents were. Coached by David Talbot, the 3rds experienced some mixed results, with their best win being a very close game against Caufield, winning by 13 games to 12. Some of their best players across the season were Usher Shao, Will Yu and Nick O'Brien. The level of talent and potential present in this team makes it clear that the future of College boys' badminton is in good hands.

I would like to acknowledge the success and incredible improvements of the whole badminton squad over the season.

They exceeded my expectations and have proved to be passionate, caring, respectful and disciplined.

The 2nds Blue team showed great spirit. They were accidentally entered into a division too high, but the boys played every match as hard as they could, never giving up. Coached by Mr Kristiansen, their victory came at the start of the season against Geelong Grammar, beating them 8 rubbers to 4. Despite only winning one match during the season, their continued effort at trainings and on Saturdays was a great testament to their integrity as players. The best players across the season were Will Evans-Papinski, Luke McCoy and Sam Hall. The boys in this team should be proud of the commendable sportsmanship that they demonstrated, whether they won or lost.

Our top team, the 2nds Green had a brilliant season that proved to be a great farewell for the eight Year 12s in the team.

Coached by George and Mim Lee, the boys put in a huge effort to ensure that they only lost one close game across the season.

Their hard work at trainings and focussed approach to games saw them achieve many memorable victories, their best coming in the last round, when they defeated Carey Grammar by 11 rubbers to 1. A final achievement for this team was that every member of the team got best player at least once across the season, highlighting the talent present. Every player in this team worked very hard to enjoy such a successful season and should be very proud of their work ethic and diligence at all trainings.

This great season would not have been possible without the continued dedication of the teachers and coaching staff involved. Thank you to Monsieur Lairs and Mr Kristiansen for managing the 39 boys all season long. Thank you also goes to Mim and George for their 10th year of continued commitment to badminton at Geelong College.

Ethan McGucken, Captain

It is only as a result of the challenging training sessions that Kenneth John, our coach, put us through, that we eventually made what was once our weakness into our strength.

We cannot thank Ken enough for sharing his knowledge and skills with us.

There were three girls' badminton teams this year and they all experienced much success throughout the season.

The 2nd IV were undefeated, finishing 123 points ahead of Caulfield Grammar School, and 151 points ahead of Geelong Grammar School. Best players were Audrey Ng, Orianna Ng and Avril Lee. The 3rd Blue team were also undefeated meaning the future of badminton is looking bright. A highlight of their season was the success against Carey Grammar School winning 4 games out of 6. Best Players were Maggie Zhang, Jade McQuillan, Amy Pan and Helena He. The 3rd Green team improved throughout the season displaying great sportsmanship and passion for badminton. Their efforts in training paid off in their second last game where they defeated Geelong Grammar, 4 games to 2. The best players were Kianna Comben, Georgina He and Mavis Woo. Thanks must go to the Teacher in Charge, Monsieur Lairs, Madame Tymms, Ms Shen and Mr John for all their tireless work and enthusiasm.

I had a wonderful season as Captain of Girls' badminton and I wish all future players good luck.

Football Starting as early as November, footballers in Years 9 to 12 were out training in the scorching heat. The intent was to hit the ground running for a successful 2019 campaign.

For the 1st XVIII, the long pre-season paid dividends early, with a comeback victory against St Kevin's thanks to a goal in the dying moments. Unfortunately, slow starts cost the team in the next two games, with close losses to Brighton and Melbourne Grammar putting a halt on a fast start to the year. The 1st XVIII had the opportunity of a lifetime to play against Geelong Grammar on GMHBA stadium. In perfect conditions for football a lapse in concentration in the 2nd quarter ultimately cost them victory on a disappointing day. Other highlights included winning against Wesley at home and a thrilling draw against Xavier at Xavier, although the boys were disappointed not to come away with the win. With a tough fixture leading into the back end of the year, the effort and endeavour the team brought to every minute of the game, and the way we were able to fight it out to the end was impressive. Overall, the Firsts squad should be very proud of the season they put together.

Coaches Luke Primus, Jeremy Dyer, Brent Cook and Bo Nixon spent a great amount of time and effort ensuring improvement as individuals and as a team, illustrating how committed they've been in helping us grow as footballers and as people. This year was about continuing to develop our culture and dedication and was widely regarded as a success. They brought the best out of us and ensured we enjoyed success along the way, so we thank them all for their commitment to the program.

174

The 2nd and 3rd XVIII finished with two and five wins each for their seasons. The boys performed valiantly and ensured that their opposition left knowing that they were not teams to be taken lightly. They were a very enthusiastic side who trained strongly throughout the year demonstrating their commitment to the program. A victory against arch-rivals Geelong Grammar was the highlight for the 2nds, and the 3rds enjoyed a massive win over St. Kevin's to finish the year.

The Year 10 season may not have seen many wins but coming up against the greater depth of big Melbourne schools they still performed admirably. The 10A side finished with one win for the season and the culture and excitement which they developed during the season will hold them in good stead come Year 11.

The 10B side also had a great season winning two games and having a lot offun in the process as they showed signs of quality footy. They will be adding great depth to the senior program in future years.

The Year 9 teams also encountered several quality sides.

Finishing the season with six wins combined was a fine achievement, and the flashes of brilliance shown indicate that there is potential future success for these boys.

The football program took huge steps this season; a strong hard-working culture was developed within all year levels and presents an exciting prospect for years to come at the Pegasus 'Stables'.

Hockey Boys Hockey This season was one of the best for senior boy's hockey.

With eight wins and one draw going the way of the Firsts, who remained undefeated, and three wins, three losses and two draws for the Seconds. This great season was due to the tremendous effort that was put in by all the boys during training and on Saturdays. Without this dedication and passion, we would not have enjoyed as much success as we did.

The 1st XI had one of the best seasons in recent memory, remaining undefeated for the first time in my time playing hockey for College. In the third last match of the season, we were down three goals to one at halftime, but it was in the second half that I saw what the team had been striving to do for many years. It was in the dying minutes of the game, where the clock had already been stopped at thirty-two seconds, where their drive to go further than our opposition became crystal clear. After six years of playing hockey at College, this was by far the best half of hockey I have ever been a part of.

I would also like to thank Lachlan Hannah, Scot Smith, Jack Yates, and Mr Greg Smith, our coaches for this season. Your immense knowledge of the game, how to play on different pitches as well as how to take on teams with certain skills was crucial to our long run of success. Without you we simply wouldn't be the players and teams we are today.

I would like to thank the boys who have played hockey this season. You have all helped to make this season one of the best yet. I hope that you continue playing hockey and wish you all the best in the years to come, and I hope that you do so with the same humour, dedication and passion that you did this year.

Luke Grana, Captain

The Seconds also had an enjoyable and rewarding season. With many players only having played hockey for one or two seasons, it was amazing to see the improvement in skill that they brought to the pitch every Saturday. This was highlighted against St Kevin's, when our Seconds managed to keep a draw, with less than 11 players on the field due to injury, which is an outstanding achievement for a developing side.

I would like to thank the Hockey Parent Support group, for their behind the scenes support and assistance of all College hockey teams, providing morning tea at home games, and organising College squads to play in the popular local summer hockey competition. Your tireless work is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Josh Bartlett, Teacher in Charge of hockey for this season. Without him, our season would not have been as amazing as it was, and I certainly don't believe that we would have had the amount of success that we did.

Girls Hockey The 2019 season was full oflong-awaited success and good memories. With the addition of many new faces, this season promised to be full of wins for both the 2nd XI girls' squad and the 1st XI girls' squad.

Under the guidance of new coaches Ellie Chapman and Emma Hatton, the 2nds season was one full of enthusiasm and enjoyment. The girls worked very hard at training, and their efforts were reflected in their games as they gradually improved throughout the season, finishing their season on a high note defeating Geelong Grammar, It is fair to say that no matter how hard these girls were working at training or during games, they were all always seen with massive smiles on their faces. No matter what the score during their games, none of them ever let the team down, Their perseverance and encouragement of each other is something that all teams should aspire to.

The 1st girls also welcomed their new coach, Zedekiah Armistead, whose expertise at training helped them secure third place on the APS ladder, with a total of 15 points, in comparison to last year's total of 8 points, Zed brought his fun games from the classroom out onto the field and each session was filled with plenty of laughs, but plenty of sweat as well.

We cruised through our first couple of games, defeating Geelong Grammar, 4-0, and Caulfield, 3-0. Credit is due to our amazing goalkeeper Liam Bishop who didn't let a single goal in, A highlight of the season for most of the girls was coming home with a win against Wesley, 7-3. Everyone played to the best of their abilities, with the younger girls showing the growing potential of the team.

I would like to thank the girls in the lsts, for making my final year of hockey one that I will never forget. I want to especially thank my vice-captains, Lily Edwards and Emily Brussow, as well as all my fellow Year 12s, for everything you have done for hockey.

I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls to share my love for this sport with - you guys are truly amazing.

178

To Zed, Ellie and Emma, thank you for always being there for us.

You were always encouraging and put a smile on our faces. It is fair to say that most of this season"s success can be attributed to the three of you.

I would like to also thank Josh Bartlett, Most of the Year 12s have known Josh for more than four years, as a coach and a Teacher in Charge. Josh, you have played a massive part in all of our hockey journeys, Thank you to the Parents Support Group, for your support every early Saturday morning, Without you, we wouldn't be known as the school with the best spread, I would like to congratulate all the hockey girls on such a terrific season. May you all keep playing hockey and improving your skills and knowledge. I am confident that the girl's hockey squad is in good hands next year.

Netball The 2019 netball season got off to a hopeful start, as there was significant interest in the netball program with 20 teams; 14 at Senior School and six at Middle School. The large number of girls in the netball program is testament to the success of 2019. With trials beginning at the end of Term 1, it was evident that everyone was determined to participate and try their best, as the girls continued to refine their netball skills and form connections with their teammates. Each team experienced highs and lows, but when times were tough, the girls persisted to the best of their abilities. Persistence is a strong quality that is instilled in the Geelong College sports program and was definitely evident throughout the 2019 Netball season.

The 1st VII netball team coached by Damian Stephenson and Laura Mclelland had a very successful year. The girls finished 6th on the APS ladder with five wins, three of them narrowly won by only one point. With such a young team and one of the best performing for a long time, netball is in safe hands for the coming years.

All Senior teams should be commended for their efforts this year, as the girls continued to play to the best of their ability week-to-week. The future ofTGC netball is very bright as the Intermediate and Junior girls showcased exceptional talent, determination and a willingness to improve. Thanks to the wonderful coaches and teachers involved in the netball program the girls experienced fitness and fun at trainings, bus trips full of laughs and thrilling Saturday games.

This year the Parent Support Group had many new members who were enthusiastic about TGC netball. New programs and events were added to the netball calendar this year, one being the netball clinic during the June - July holidays. The clinic had unprecedented numbers with girls from all year levels participating. With help from our coaches, the lsts and Melbourne Vixen's player Renae Ingles, the girls learnt new skills and had fun along the way. The Parent Support Group organised the first ever Netball Presentation dinner at the Geelong Racing Club. The night was full of awards, speeches from captains and special guest speaker Emily Mannix who plays for the Melbourne Vixens. Emily spoke about her netball career and her personal netball journey, sparking inspiration for the girls who are striving for a similar career in netball.

On the 24th of July four teams played in the State Netball Championships at Kardinia park, the 1st VII, Inter As, Junior As, and a Primary team. The day showcased the teams' strengths and ability to play as a unit. All the girls represented the Geelong College excellently and everyone had fun while playing amazing netball. The 1st and Junior A teams were successful in making it to the finals played at the State Netball Centre in Melbourne at the end of Term 3.

All the girls really appreciate the work that Mrs Porter has contributed to the netball program this year as Teacher in Charge of netball. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, organising the teams, coaches, trainings and umpires. We are all extremely grateful to PP. Huge thanks also go to the wonderful contributions of the Parent Support Group, as they too worked tirelessly to ensure the netball season went smoothly and kept up the reputation of the school with the best morning tea.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the Gee long College 2019 APS season and we wish the future teams all the very best for the years to come.

Soccer Boys Soccer The Geelong College fielded six Boys soccer teams in the APS this year, One of our youngest teams, the 7 C/D team, coached by Joshua Skuza, had a good year, with much improvement seen in the team over the course of the season. They started strong with an 11-0 win against Scotch College and impressed with wins over both Caulfield Grammar teams. It was great to see them developing their skills as they had a fun and successful season.

The other Year 7 team played in the A division and was coached

by Alex Klasevski. This team also started the season well, defeating Geelong Grammar 6-3. For the remainder of the season, the boys faced off against some very strong teams, impressing in wins against Scotch College and Haileybury.

The 8B side, coached by Peter Acampora faced a number of very strong teams and did very well to get wins against Geelong Grammar and Haileybury College as well as a draw against Caulfield. They improved greatly as a team throughout the season.

Coached by Quentin Connolly, the 10 C/D team made huge improvements to their game over the season, with their biggest highlight being an 11-1 win over Xavier College. They were unlucky with a few close defeats but had a successful season overall,

Their biggest highlight for the year was both victories against Geelong Grammar, winning 9-0 in the first week and 3-1 later in the season. It was great to see these boys improve their skills over the course of the season, with many players showing the capability to play in the 1st division next season.

The 1st XI Senior Boys enjoyed a very successful season.

Exemplary coaching by Mr Kovacev, Jack Krusl and Mr Flanagan ensured we came away with 8 wins, a draw and a loss over the season. The preseason work paid off, with a 4-0 win against Geelong Grammar in the first week giving us confidence leading into the year, The biggest highlight of the season, however, was the away game against Xavier College, After a tough round two fixture, which ended in a 3-2 defeat the boys were keen for the rematch, The passionate and fiery contest culminated in a 2-1 victory for College. Due to strong performances this season, the Geelong College 1st Soccer team will be playing in Division 1 for the first time in over a decade. This is an immense achievement that all the boys should be very proud of.

Finally, a huge thankyou to TIC Mr. Galluccio for all his help over the season. We all really appreciate the work you put in each week to ensure the soccer program at College is at its finest.

James McGuire & Sam Rowbottom, Co-Captains

Finding a great balance between fun and seriousness at training, Jose helped the boys unlock their full potential as a team.

Girls Soccer Girls' soccer commenced the season with determination and positivity. Across all four teams, there was no shortage of hard work during each training session and on the muddy and cold pitches each Saturday, Every player showed incredible potential and passion for the game.

The Junior B/C side, under the keen eye of Bronte Smith, enjoyed multiple wins throughout the season due to their perseverance. They have a great ability to read the play and work together as a team and we look forward to seeing them fulfil their potential in forthcoming seasons.

The Junior A side, who were fortunate to be coached by both Mme Alexandra Zauli and Aidan Zauli, should be proud of their achievements and efforts throughout the season, showing a consistent desire to win each game. Although they endured a mixture of draws, losses and wins their inclusion of all members of the team created an admirable atmosphere of team spirit.

The 2nds, coached by Bibi Holten, proved themselves to be a formidable side despite their results varying over the season, The girls should be applauded for their improvement and teamwork throughout the many tough matches, testing their resolve as a team and bringing out their best efforts.

186

The 1st side had a very positive season in spite of a very rocky start. Unsure of how the season would unfold due to losing most of the team at the end of last year, we were lucky to discover some young new talent which will certainly bring success in the next few years, We had a number of milestones this year including being the first girls 1st team to defeat Caufield, and even the first header goal in history. We would like to thank our coaches, Mr Ken Prior, Mr Fabio D~gostin, Mr Joe Centorbi and Chiara Centorbi who were a constant support throughout the season, helping us to be our best in a friendly and enthusiastic environment. We appreciate your hard work and dedication which has been so valuable to all of us.

We would like to give a huge thanks to all staff and coaches involved in girls soccer, especially TIC Mr Galluccio, who ensured the season ran smoothly. Thank you to all the parents who showed up in the windy and cold conditions to cheer the girls on every Saturday. And finally thank you to all the players who have shown so much enthusiasm and positivity towards this incredible game, making it another memorable season for everyone involved. Well done girls!

Basketball Boys Basketball It was a great honour being voted as the captain of basketball for the last two years and I have enjoyed the camaraderie of all team members throughout the season. While not always successful, the attitude and hard work of our vertically challenged squad should be greatly praised and appreciated.

The 3rds, 4ths and 6ths teams all had great fun in their seasons and were coached by James Headlam, Sam Jayasekara, and Mr Alistair Smith respectively. They were incredible coaches.

Although they did not score many wins, the scoreboard did not truly reflect the effort the players put into each game. They had a terrific season and always trained as hard as they played and were ready for the toughest of opponents.

While scoring and watching the Middle School games on Saturdays, I was impressed with the skill level of these boys. All Year 7 and 8 teams have excellent potential and it will be exciting to see the future of basketball in the school. Their coaches DeMarcus Gatlin, Sam Johns and Caleb Brozina worked the boys hard to improve their skills. There is some incredible talent coming up through the ranks.

Thank you to Mr Carroll for making this such an organised and successfully played season, we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you also to Chad Suphomonkul for being an amazing coach through the year, improving our skill levels immensely. I wish all players the very best for the seasons ahead.

Girls Basketball The 2019 winter sport season saw five teams, full of eager and excited girls ranging from Years 7 to 12 ready to commence the basketball season. With new faces, a re-arrangement of divisions and new coaches, the girls' basketball season was ready to blow the competition away.

All players sought opportunities to learn or enhance their basketball skills, game play and sportsmanship on and off the court. With an elite coaching staff, and players that were willing to try new skills, all teams across Middle and Senior School were ready to showcase their new or improved abilities during their games. Training provided time for teams to consolidate skills and work together to create a cohesive and supportive environment for every member of their teams. It was great to see such diversity amongst the teams with players from all year levels and friendship groups playing for a common goal.

The 1st girls, with only one loss for the season and a supportive new coach, Nick Stamatopoulos, grew in confidence and enhanced their playing abilities to an extent that provided the team with stability and a dependability from everyone on the court.

This season has exemplified to me true sportsmanship.

The inclusion of different year levels and friendship groups highlights the positive attributes that are engrained in us through APS sport.

A huge thank you to Mr Carroll, for always keeping us up to date with games, trainings and running the program while making the task look easy. Thank you to all the coaches for a great season, and huge congratulations to every player this season; you should be proud of your season and good luck to the girls in 2020.

Lily Gilby, Captain

This year we had two junior teams. With a focus on improving and learning new skills, both teams showed exemplary efforts to work as a team and exhibit their skills in situations that required both knowledge of the game and reliable team members.

Coming home with more than 4 wins together across the season, both teams showed promise for the future of girls' basketball. They were ably led by Jayden Barber and Nyah Burrell as their coaches.

The Senior School, girls' basketball cohort consisted of two 3rds teams and a 1st team with girls ranging from Years 7 to 12.

All members of the squad sought opportunities to represent their respective teams and showcase their newly learnt or refined skills on court. The 3rd Green team, with Carly Vuillemin coaching, came away with two wins for the season and some very close scores that showed determination and fight.

The 3rd Blue team, under the guidance of Jared Boyce, finished the season with a total of four wins displaying teamwork and a drive to win that stemmed from passionate coaching and a positive attitude.

Snow Sports It was an outstanding year on the snow for The Geelong College. The College was represented by 59 students from Early Learning to Year 12 at the 2019 Victorian lnterschool Snowsports Championships and 11 students at the Australian lnterschool Snowsports Championships. At the Victorian Championships we competed in 141 individual events and 41 team events, with 15 teams scoring overall points. We placed 5th in the co-educational secondary school category and 10th in the co-educational primary category, our best results ever! At the Australian Championships our secondary team placed 5th and was the 2nd placed Victorian team - a sensational result.

At the Victorian Championships, the week began with rain, sleet and snow so there were some cold little skiers and boarders in Divisions 4, 5 and 6. It was exciting to see six girls skiing in the Division 6 competition including Brigid Kearns and Elsie Jones from Early Learning, Charlotte Gilchrist and MacKenzie Martin from Year 1, and Tilly Neate and Daisy Biscan in Year 2. All the girls did extremely well and learned a lot about ski racing. They were excited to see Daisy progress to the nationals in Alpine and Ski X. The Alpine team of Daisy, Tilly Neate and Charlotte Gilchrist finished 10th, scoring points for the College team.

Our Division 4 girls' team of Holly Kearns, Charlotte Koch, Rose Jones and Maddie Koch raced brilliantly in the Alpine GS finishing 7th to narrowly miss a spot at nationals. Holly finished 5th in the Moguls to qualify individually and was joined by Rose Jones to make up the team that finished 6th and qualified for nationals. On the snowboard Charlotte Koch made it through to nationals with 9th place in the Snowboard GS and a 13th place in the Boarder X, her sister Maddie will join her at nationals after the pair finished 6th in the Snowboard GS teams. These girls scored in every event except Ski X which is a fantastic effort.

Once again our Division 2 boys put College on the map (and the podium), with our crack team medalling in every event bar one.

Emerson Facer started things off with a bang taking the silver medal in the Alpine GS.

192

GS medals are very hard to win, the last time College won a GS medal was in 2013 when Ben Tyler took the bronze and before that Roxy Green in 2002. Emerson, Jasper Atkinson, Rory Kearns and Tyson Martin placed 10th in the teams to score points for the College team. In the Ski X it was a battle for the podium between Emerson and Andy Deans with Andy putting down a cracking run in the final to finish fourth, Emerson 6th and Jasper 30th, narrowly missing the podium in 4th, but off to nationals. In the Moguls it was tight at the top with Jasper finishing 4th, Emerson 13th and Rory 22nd to bump Scotch off the podium for the bronze medal. In the Slopestyle Ski Emerson, Jasper and Andy took the team gold and Emerson the individual silver medal, with Tyson Martin, Emerson and Jasper qualifying for nationals.

The College boys continued their dominance in the Snowboarding events with Andy Deans winning the Snowboard, Emerson finishing 6th and Alex White 37th to take the team gold. In the Boarder X Andy took home silver, Emerson placed 5th with a super run in the final and Alex 39th to win the team gold. And to make it a trifecta Andy won gold in the Slopestyle Snowboard and Emerson placed 11th to win another gold. The boys in this division were superb, and we had additional teams in the Alpine, Ski X, Moguls and Slopestyle, who are all improving.

The Division 1 girls and boys were great leaders for the team, Angel Atkinson placed fifth in the Moguls to qualify for nationals and Molly Ryan placed 19th, with the team in fifth, also off to nationals. The girls Alpine GS team of Pia Falk, Liv Batten, Alana Henderson and Molly Ryan finished 9th scoring points for the team and the boys snowboard team of Hunter Locke, Beau Allan and James Norris finished 10th in both the Snowboard and Boarder X, also scoring valuable team points.

In the Australian Championships, rain for the first day and blizzard conditions for the rest of the week, made for challenging conditions particularly in the Slopestyle events where the wind restricted the number of runs.

In the primary section Daisy Bi scan battled the rain to finish 22nd in the Alpine and 34th in the Ski X at her first nationals.

Holly Kearns double daffyed her way to 11th in the moguls, with Maddie Koch finishing 41st and Charlotte 42nd the girls placed 8th in the teams· event. Charlotte also raced in the Snowboard and Board X placing 20th in both events, a huge improvement.

The Division 2 Boys led the way for our secondary team with Andy Deans winning the Snowboard and taking the bronze medal in the Board X. The team of Andy, Emerson Facer and Alex White won the national championship in both events, with Emerson placing 10th in the Snowboard and 7th in the Board X and Alex finishing 34th in the Snowboard and 46th in the Board X. Emerson (6th) and Andy (17th) combined with Jasper Atkinson (35th) to take the bronze medal in the Ski X teams event.

In the Slopestyle Ski Tyson Martin finished 6th, Jasper 10th and Emerson 13th, in the Moguls Jasper finished 8th, Rory Kearns 38th and Emerson 41st and in the Slopestyle Snowboard Emerson finished 13th and Andy 15th. Emerson placed 6th in the Alpine GS and was the fastest Victorian down the course.

Angelique Atkinson was our sole representative in Division 1 and placed 9th in the Moguls event.

Of 11 competitors in 27 events we had ten top ten finishes, five scoring teams, two individual medals and three team medals. It was an outstanding nationals' campaign and every competitor should be very proud of their achievements.

Year on year results are tricky to measure because of multiple age groups, snow and weather factors. That withstanding, 50% of our skiers and boarders showed improved performances from last year at the Victorian Championships and all competitors improved at the National Championships.

It was exciting to welcome lots of 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 Paul Jubber, Phil Bohun and Marcus Tyrell for their invaluable help on the snow, to Captain Pia Falk, and to the parents who travelled and supported all the students, volunteered on courses and managed teams. We are very excited about the future of Snowsports and encourage all skiers and boarders of all abilities to consider competing for College next year.

Athletics Boys Athletics Despite competing in many state and national championships in my athletics career, the APS Athletics Final has always been the number one competition for me. Representing your school as part of a team is special and this year the 41 boys in the Geelong College team showed their commitment to do their best and support each other. Our athletes achieved an amazing 28 personal bests in individual events at the Final and we won seven events on the day- a remarkable effort in the very strong eleven-school Boys APS competition.

Highlights for the team were Miles Gray's wins in the U15 shot put and discus and Josh Payne gaining three first places in U14 high jump, longjump and triple jump. Josh set two new School Records and an APS Record in his events, Other athletes to achieve a top six finish were middle distance runners Nick O'Brien and Zac Norton, hurdler Johnny Pring, high jumper and discus thrower Will Jarman, shot putters Harrison O'Neill and Joel Grigsby and sprinters Billy Griffin and Lewis Povey.

Ten athletes made significant contributions by competing in events above their age group to cover injuries and fill gaps in the team. Congratulations to every Geelong College athlete for the spirit shown under difficult conditions on the day.

The 2019 athletics season would not have been possible without the commitment and support of College staff, the coaching team and our parents. Thank you to the Athletics Parent Support Group for all their work. Mr Jubber, Matt Dowling, Mr Edwards and Mrs Ratcliffe played key roles in their guidance of the Middle School athletes.

Our coaches provided valuable advice and encouragement and made the season enjoyable. We appreciated the efforts of Mark Boxer, Coreena Cleland, Mandi Cole, Matt Courtnay, Monique Day, Tim Jarman, Neale Lomas, Zach Mooseek, Stewart Poulter, Jacob Reed, Graeme Watkins, Mr Horoch and Mr Saunders. The inspiration and hard work of our Director of Coaching, Erica Fountain, the dedicated and efficient organisation of Mr Parkes and the leadership of Athletics TIC Mr Robbins were vital to the team this season.

Congratulations to my teammates Luke Derksen (ViceCaptain), Ngor Aker, Will Anderson and Noah Goodall-Wilson for being Year 12 athletes this year, Geelong College athletics has been a huge part of my life for the past six seasons and I will miss it dearly. I wish all our athletes the best for the future.

Oliver Courtnay, Captain Oliver Courtnay has an exceptional record in APS throwing events over the past six years. He has won the shot put six times from U14 to Open and currently holds the APS shot put record in the U14, U15, U16andU17 age groups, In 2018he won the Open discus and set a new APS Record. In 2019 he won the discus again, broke his own APS Record and set a new School Record in winning the Open shot put. This season he has been a fine example to others with his hard work at training and his focussed competition performances. He helped to coach many younger throwers and he was an enthusiastic and committed Captain.

Girls Athletics Throughout the 2019 season, the Geelong College girls team showed dedication, determination and persistence in their training and Saturday competitions. Our athletes achieved an amazing 40 personal bests in individual events at the APS Final.

Fielding our smallest team ever and facing much larger squads from the other schools, we increased our points score from last year and finished fourth in the teams competition ahead of Carey and Geelong Grammar School.

Our girls achieved many outstanding results, with 7 first places, 8 seconds and 20 third places in the 75 event Program. 7 new school records and two new APS Records were established.

Cassidy Bradshaw made a brilliant contribution to the team with her four individual wins and two relay runs. She set a new APS Record in the Ul 7 long jump and two new school records.

U13 athlete Rose Jones won the high jump and raised the APS Record to 1.56m and achieved two second places in U14 long jump and triple jump. Other impressive results included wins

by Emilie Roosje and Michaela Payne in the horizontal jumps and new school records to Michaela Payne (U13 200ml and Isla Bradshaw (U12 1500ml.

Athletes to finish in the first three places in their events were sprinters Sophia Powers and Michaela Payne, hurdlers Emily Williams, Cecilia Powers, Phoebe Steel and Michaela Payne, middle distance runners Olivia Richardson, Mia Kemp and Isla Bradshaw and high jumpers Stephanie Williams, Kate Synoradzki and Phoebe Knight. Our throwing team performed very well, with top three places from Zoe Sandner, Penelope Blight, Cheyenne Philpott, Phoebe Calvert, Michaela Payne, Matilda Daffy and Antoniette Emma-Nnopu, who set a new school record in the U 17 shot put. Well done to those girls who competed in multiple events or out of their age group to assist the team. Special mention must go to Cassidy Bradshaw and Michaela Payne (six events each) for their efforts.

As well as our Saturday meetings, we entered the Victorian Nitro Schools Challenge in September and our Senior Girls team did very well to finish second, qualifying for the National Final. At the Athletics Dinner, the Mark McPherson Trophy was awarded to Zoe Sandner and Hamish Dobie to recognise their commitment and team contribution during the season.

The athletes were supported by a dedicated group of parents who organised the Landy Field canteen and social activities for the squad. Special thanks must go to Mrs Jess Powers who led the Athletics Parent Support Group and her involved and hard-working parent helpers. Sincere thanks to all our coaches (named in the Boys report) for their positive guidance during the season and especially our TIC Mr Robbins, Director of Coaching Erica Fountain and Mr Parkes for their enthusiasm, dedication and organisation to help all College athletes achieve their best.

Well done to my fellow Year 12 athletes Laura Ryan (ViceCaptain), Penelope Blight, Ciara Philpott and Zoe Sandner for their contributions over many seasons. It has been inspiring to see the efforts and improvement of all the girls this season and I am sure this will continue into the future.

Eliza Walsh, Captain Eliza Walsh has represented Geelong College in six APS Athletics Finals with great success in sprint events, hurdles, high jump, long jump and relays. She holds school records in hurdles and long jump.

Each year she competed in multiple events for the team and her strong competitive spirit was admired by all. In 2019 her events were the Open hurdles, long jump, 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relays.

Eliza has been a positive and inclusive leader during the season, always offering encouragement to other members of the team.

Mr B Robbins, Teacher in Charge of Athletics

Duke of Edinburgh 2nd Row: Ethan McGucken, Matthew Thacker, Dominic Bongiorno, Lach/an Houen, Connor McGucken, Penelope Blight, James Afford 1st Row: Jialin Miao, Ellie Milner, Harry Faull, Molly Ryan, Olivia Batten

Duke of Edinburgh Congratulations to the seven students including one Old Collegian who completed different levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award in 2019.

Two of those students, Harriet Jennett and Penelope Blight completed the Gold Award and it was pleasing to acknowledge them at the Year 12 Valedictory evening.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an award that recognises a commitment to community service and youth leadership and is well regarded in the wider community by employers and tertiary institutions.

In a world where personal skills are more highly valued in careers than ever before a student that has completed any level of the Award has demonstrated commitment and capabilities in community service, teamwork and leadership. These qualities are also highly valued by tertiary accommodation providers and in scholarship applications. For three universities there is a direct impact on course ATAR requirements with the prospect of the number of universities recognising the Award growing in future years.

Tertiary scholarship applications are an important and significant part of the College's careers program and the questions which students are asked in scholarship applications are often focused on their community service and leadership experiences.

208

In addition to providing recognition, the experiences students gain from the activities are invaluable in their education and informative for their course, community service and career choices.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award aligns very closely with our school's community service values and it is pleasing that more than 50 students from Years 8 to 12 are currently participating.

The only difference between the different levels of the Award are the hours required.

Students can commence the Award at the level (Bronze, Silver or Gold) which most suits them and are encouraged to contact the careers centre for further information.

':Jacob, are you ready?" Of course, he was ready.

It was a Sunday morning. The kind that adults reminisce about, and in which children spend admiring the colour of the sky. The sun had brought the summer's warmth to a winter's week. The turn of the earth was no faster than the peaceful drifting of the sky's lone clouds. As his mum's soft voice faded into the cream walls of his house, Jacob came bursting from his room. In a classy shirt and charcoal jeans, he launched himself down the staircase. Mid-flight, he broke the serenity...

"Of course, I'm ready," he confirmed. Turning back to the staircase, he inspected the feat that was his jump. "Six steps ... awesome!" Before his mum had a moment to comment, Jacob was out the door. The sun's glare welcomed him, albeit briefly. In no time, Jacob found himself in the passenger seat of their car, belt buckled and eagerness gleaming through his eyes. Once his mother finally joined him, Jacob sunk his chin into his arms, and gazed out of the window. It didn't take long for tranquillity to return to the Sunday morning scene.

The car ride was no different from usual. The canola crop passed by, as did the old, broken down church.

After twenty minutes, they arrived. The passenger door was first to open. Grandad was waiting on his front porch. His smile was just as luminous as Jacob's. In the backdrop, gumtrees towered around Grandad's humble dwelling. The house itself was losing layers of paint with every visit. Still, with smoke spluttering from the chimney, and stains concealing almost every window, the house welcomed Jacob, as it had done ever since it met him. So, Jacob raced across the driveway, his sneakers crackling as they ran through the gravel. Shooting up the stairs, he embraced his grandfather like he had done so many times before. He looked back to his mother and waved. She began to approach the two but was waved away by Jacob. As she opened the car door, she called across the front lawn ...

"I'll see you in an hour," she began, "and don't get up to any trouble," she added. Jacob looked up to his grandpa in gleeful amusement. Grandpa chuckled and replied to his daughter.

"Don't worry about us." He rose his hand in parting and returned his gaze to Jacob. With a smirk still written across his face, he opened a fly-screen door and gestured for Jacob to go inside. He scuttled under Grandpa's outstretched arm and immediately submerged himselfin the aroma that distinguished this house from any other. The sweet scent of plum jam permeated the room. In the corner, a round oak table stood beside a large window. From the front door, that very window framed the countryside beyond the house. An array of colours filtered through the window, sourced from the plentiful flower beds outside. Beyond the boundaries of the homestead, grass flowed into an expansive valley.

Jacob, having been staring across the countryside for all of two minutes, looked to his grandpa, who was holding a toffee in his open palm. After expressing his thanks, Jacob unravelled the toffee and stuffed the wrapper in his jean pocket. Grandpa, with a toffee in his mouth, moved to the kitchen.

Simultaneously, Jacob walked over to the games-cupboard and scoured through its contents. Scanning his way through decks of cards, loose die, and checkers, he finally brought forth a chess board. He took a seat by the window and set up the game. Not long later, Grandpa arrived, a hot chocolate in each of his hands. He gave Jacob a grin and took his seat at the opposite side of the board. Together, the two played for games on end. They chatted for just as long, never ceasing to find conversation. In that time, the sun reached its peak and slowly made its descent to meet the horizon.

As the afternoon haze began to set in, soft knocking from the door brought Jacob's visit to a conclusion. Whilst reluctant to leave the table, he slid from his seat and skipped across the hardwood floor. Slowly, he turned the door handle. On the other side was his mother, who, immediately noticed the frown on her son's face. She looked to Grandpa with a warm heart and a dose of pity. Then she looked at Jacob.

"You'll be back next week. Don't fret." Jacob solemnly agreed and then returned to the round table where Grandpa was still seated. They farewelled each other, for now. As his mother approached, Jacob rushed past her, through the front door and to the front seat of their car. He sat, thinking.

"Of course, I'll be back," he whispered to himself.

Middle School Poetry Prize Awarded by Coral Turner 2019

e

Tfte Wol'~ oftfte F(Q11te Agnes Ambrose When I was born, the fires ofthe earth spewed forth.

A great inferno surged from the bowels of the mightiest mountains, All to bask in my coming.

My mother called out to the gods, "Who am I to bear such fire?

"Who am I to raise the flame of the Earth?"

Blinded by the monstrous light ofconflagration, She sought to slaughter the Flame.

The gods replied that I was to tame the Fire.

Infinite light was my destiny to destroy.

My father named me Fl6ga Mesa, which means 'the flame within'.

For the Fire burns within me like a raging storm.

And like a moth to the flame, I am drawn into the chaos.

Eventually, Artemis Goddess of the Mountain came to me and spoke her brilliant words.

I must travel to Athens, City of the People, And forge a mighty sword from mighty flames.

Do this, I must, to free us from the hold ofFire

To obliterate it and its thirst for blood.

Along the way I met Demeter, Goddess ofForest Beings, bearing gifts ofhope.

Her wisdom and knowing bestowed upon me, I was left with two great blessings.

The feather pen plucked from the forest bird, and the power of the Word.

"The Word,•• was most powerful ofall.•• It was a boat in the sea of unknown, And the sails by which it travelled was 'Fire'.

I made it to Athens, where I wielded words to forge my sword.

I melted iron, engraved it with that of Fire in order to defeat it.

My sword was more than a weapon; It was a tool of the gods blessed with more power than any other.

A power not even fully known to me.

I have yet to take down the forge of the Earth, Even now, I am known by a different name.

A name that shall ring through the towns ofour world.

Through towns saved from the Flame.

My name is eternal.

My name is Fl6ga of the Word.

U/uru is real.

Can't you feel the wheel ofgenerations

The blood red arc stands out from the barren/and

Whispers ofancestors

As symbol of the past

Rustic white sand Surrounds our land

The palace calls me with stony silence

Sacred site isn't meant to be taken

As though it lives Surviving on our connection to this place

Taken from our creation

We will not give up

Pale bodiesjourney

We cannot give up

Stolen and forsaken our place.

This is notjust our place

Never fear the thing you feel

This is us

Love is life made real.

The iconic rock

Red burning soil beneath my toes

Surrounded by baked dry shrubs

Bright burning sun

Dust red, sun scorched land Blistering sun

Big red rock right before my eyes Images ofpeople climbing this beautiful land

Full blue sky

Damaging cultural heritage

No cloud in sight

My fragile, powerless Uluru

The centre of the land The mighty rock

Thoughts ofhope, faith and courage suddenly appear

Stands guardian of/and

Cheers ofanticipation ringing in my ears My ancestors whispering, closing, shutting, protecting Tears run down my face Happiness,joy, sadness It's closed Goodbye Thankyou

MyCountry Lying right there

An ancient outback treasure Standing one thousand feet proud

In the centre of our land

The red hued heart is fading away

Standing in silence Brighter than the sun Blood red rock, boiling

Rusted fine dirt trickles by the disrespected rock Arid land, afraid ofbeing lost and forgotten

in the hot sunshine

White bodies, surrounding, destroying

Uluru standing

Making a mockery of our connection to land

Brighter than a shooting star

Deep shadows of our ancestor's shame

Lighting up the night

filling my thoughts Memories ruined, by the stolen, pale skin feeling

Zen Jimmieson

Baked dry in the dusty red desert

I approach the blood red rock,

Outback sunrise, beautiful to see

I see a white scar

Ember glow from the red, rocky centre Standing on its own with only our tribe in sight This is our sacred ground

I hear the faint laugh ofa kookaburra I feel the rough and crunchy dirt and stone under my feet

Stone warms up every heart with its whispers through caves and stones

I feel the cool and polished metal of the handlebars on the Segway

It was, and still is our home

I feel for the Aboriginal people who died, trying to protect their land so many years ago

Standing barefoot on the bone-dry surface Little rocks, pebbles and lizards scurried between my toes This is home

Community Service Throughout 2019, the prefect team has organised and run a variety offundraisers in order to assist many organisations achieving incredible things for the global community. We have supported a vast range of causes, allowing us to raise: • $734 for the Skyline Education Foundation through the 9/10 Social and a barbeque on the last day of Term 2.

• Over $750 for the Queensland Farmers' Flood Appeal through a casual clothes day in Term 1 to support Australians affected by catastrophic floods.

• $975 on Go Grey in May Day for the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation who support and care for children with brain tumours.

• $366 for The Live Below the Line initiative, helping to tackle global poverty.

• $789 for Diversitat, aiding refugees from all over the world through many support programs to settle in Australia.

The Broader Community Portfolio this year decided to make our key focus: serving the wider community and raising awareness about climate change. This is why we took special interest in the Queensland Farmers' Flood Appeal after catastrophic floods destroyed thousands of cattle in North Queensland in February.

By organising a casual clothes day where the theme was 'wear green', we were able to help farmers who had lost so much as well as raise awareness about the damaging consequences of climate change, partially satisfying our goals for the year.

We also organised a bake sale in order to tackle global poverty through the Live Below the Line initiative and ran a sausage sizzle to help meet the College's fundraising target for Skyline.

Overall, the 2019 Broader Community Portfolio has relished the opportunity to support our community throughout the year and hope that future portfolios can experience the same satisfaction.

The Geelong College Foundation The generosity of the College community towards our Foundation House Challenge this year contributed to providing visible and valuable enhancements to the student learning environment. Thank you for your kind support of this project and our other Annual Giving projects. Over $93,000 was contributed to the House Challenge as well as Pegasus General Excellence Scholarships, the restoration of our Cloisters Classrooms and The Dr Bill Williams Tjungurrayi Scholarship to support Indigenous students.

A highlight from the Foundation Concert this year would have to be the drumline to commence the evening at Costa Hall on 2 August. We were all treated to a showcase of the musical talent of The Geelong College musicians and I thank Dr Philip Bohun, his music staff and the students who presented a wonderful night of entertainment.

Our annual Morongo Old Collegians luncheon held on 12 October was a great success. Over 110 guests enjoyed lunch and were treated to a surprise performance from the 'Morongo Singers', a choir group made up of girls from Years 7-8. Former Morongo College Captain, Diana Taylor, spoke of the legacy a Morongo education has had on her professional career.

Our 2020 Morongo Award recipient, Sophie Blackford, briefly spoke on what receiving the Award meant to her and her family.

The Morrison Society celebrated a 10-year anniversary in October - our bequest society was officially launched on 16 October 2009. We celebrated with a morning tea and a tour of the VCE Art Show and it was very poignant that this occasion was held in the Keith Humble Centre for Music and the Performing Arts, as the construction of the building was significantly contributed to through a gift made by Mrs Jill Humble. Every bequest makes a difference to the quality of education and facilities we can offer our students and helps the Foundation achieve its objective to preserve and enhance the financial future of The Geelong College.

Our other annual events were all well attended and included the Foundation Members Lunch in March where we were flash mobbed by the Pegasus Singers and treated to a tour of the newly refurbished Morrison Hall and Cloisters Classrooms by the College Co-Captains. The Foundation and the OGCA supported a Melbourne drinks event in November and we finished the year with the very popular Community Golf Day at the Barwon Heads Golf Club in late November.

The 2019 Foundation Fellowship recipients have had a very busy year. Whether it was funding to support a teacher exchange in Canada or for the continuation of a Masters of Sports Coaching degree to attending a Reggio Emilia Study Tour in Italy, our teaching staff had a very productive year. The objectives of the Fellowship, to provide opportunities for staff to develop professionally, increase their skills and enhance their global awareness, have all been achieved through our 2019 recipients' endeavours and we look forward to hearing from our successful 2020 Foundation Fellowship recipients next year.

The annual tree planting day at our Fyansford property had to be cancelled in July due to inclement weather, however that did not stop the Year 4 Enviro students from completing a successful day's planting in tricky conditions one Friday in late July. The property at Fyansford has been re-leased, however we are still able to access the land for educational activities. The Foundation and the College Council are exploring future use for this property in light of the surrounding urban development.

The Board welcomed a new member in February when Lauren Betts was elected to the Board of Management continuing the strong connection of the Betts family to the Foundation. Dr Peter Carman and Ms Suzanne Mockridge resigned from the Board during the year and I would like to acknowledge and thank them for their significant contribution to the Foundation during their time on the Board.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Foundation Board members, the Principal Dr Peter Miller and the Council Chairman Dr Hugh Seward AM for their support and charitable interest in the Foundation during 2019. It has been a successful and productive year and we look forward to achieving much more in 2020.

Farewells David Curnow David began his teaching career at The Geelong College in 1987, originally employed

by Mr Paul Sheahan to teach History. He began his career at the College in fourth gear, failing to navigate first second or third gears, preferring to operate at speed from the start. Over the ensuing 33 years, if one measured Dave's involvement and level of commitment to his vocation, the reading would most likely be off the scale. If there was one word to describe Dave's career at Geelong College, that word would be; service.

Dave's passion, commitment and service to the staff, students and general community of the College was second to none.

The Geelong College has in its history, been served by many wonderful and dedicated teachers, to which David Curnow's name will be added. During his many years of service, Dave's sense of divine purpose in whatever capacity he was performing never wavered. He gave of himself in boundless amounts of energy that left many other staff in his wake. Dave was a tutor in Mackie in the early 90s and revelled in the boarding environment. His energy and constant vitality were well suited to the environs of Mackie.

During his career at the College, Dave's TIC duties were many, including Rowing, Football and Athletics. He gave inordinate amounts of time, passion and commitment to each of these areas, often at the expense of Cassie and his growing family. When he wasn't TIC, he was coaching the high jumpers, or the U 15 Footballers or the very special Muckies down at the Boatshed. In the depths of winter during his 'quiet' time, Dave could be found on a frosty main oval umpiring with his booming voice penetrating the fog. Rarely did a student question his umpiring decisions! Few will forget Dave's efforts to secure rowing eights in the Boatshed during the notorious floods of 1995, risking life and limb in the turbulent waters to limit as much damage as possible. During the 1990s, Dave was also a passionate skier, and so began many school trips to Mt Hotham, staying at the Hoys Chalet in Harrietville. Many students gained their first experience of skiing on these trips which happened on an annual basis.

As Head ofWettenhall, Dave led from the front, earning the name of'Mad Dog' with his fervour and house spirit, creating a powerhouse during the 1990s that few other Houses could match in competition. It was a dynasty that Dave created, sweeping his charges along with boundless amounts of passion and energy.

Arguably Dave's greatest achievement at the College was the relationship he built with Shalom College in Townville. Creating connections with Indigenous communities was Dave's passion. What made this program unique was that he believed in its importance, and this flowed through to each of the students undertaking the program. Dave went to great lengths to make sure the program was reciprocal, and Shalom students were able to experience aspects of community at Geelong College. In his role as Spiritual and Outreach coordinator, Dave was as committed as in any of his previous positions.

Whenever tragedy or need arose, it was Dave who was called to offer comfort and support. His calm and gentle manner to many in need will be eternally remembered.

Equally, during his time at the College, Dave revelled in marrying Old Collegians in the College Chapel. But Dave could not have achieved the extraordinary things that he did for the College without the constant love and support of Cassie and his family. They were his rock, along with his unwavering faith in God. At the end of each day, on that rock Dave stood tall. David Curnow was a presence, a visible and palpable presence whose humanity will long be remembered by those whom he touched over his thirtythree-year career at the Gee long College. Thank you, Dave. It's been a privilege for many of us to walk beside you on this journey.

Mark Irwin Mark Irwin joined the Music staff at The Geelong College in 1991 and retired as Director of Music at the end of 2018. Throughout his time on College staff Mark incorporated new technology into the Music Program which ensured quality and scope for artistic endeavour for students.

Mark was involved in all aspects of school life, focussed on Music: curriculum, performance and professional development from Early Learning, the Junior School, through the Middle School and into Senior School. He has been highly regarded for the quality and scope of the College musical program and output.

Farewells Guillermina Ulloa Ms Guillermina Ulloa was hired at a time when The College was undertaking a large cultural change by endeavouring to increase our diversity and enhance the opportunities that come with accepting students from off-shore. Although The College was very well situated with boarders from Victoria and interstate, having students arrive from our Asian neighbours and those from further afield meant that we were lacking in knowledge of their cultural aspects. Since 2008 Ms Ulloa's role has been to support the cultural and linguistic transition for international students into the life of College and to facilitate academic success within their chosen courses.

Ms Ulloa's personal and professional background has enabled her to gain some insights into many cultures. She has travelled to and studied in many countries over her lifetime.

She has a remarkable knowledge of many different languages and her empathetic nature has been a key part of her becoming "mother hen" to our international family.

As well as working effectively as an EAL support teacher she has undertaken other areas of responsibility: sports coach, coordinating Distance Education Language programs for a wide range of international and local students, Refugee programs and Local Connection programs. The highlight of each year is always International/ Harmony Day, providing a broad scope of interesting and enjoyable activities to promote and acknowledge the positive outcomes of international diversity and inclusiveness as it plays out on a global, national and local scale.

Her interactions with parents and guardians have always been positive and professional and she extended this to the staffroom where she was welcoming and encouraging.

There would be few within the staff who have not had a chat with Guillermina.

I will certainly miss Guillermina; her background is fascinating. Her working life started in Chile and it was remarkable that she finishes it at The Geelong College. In her resignation letter she says, "it has been a privilege to be part of such a fine school and the positive programs that have seen so many of our students go on to enjoy successful outcomes in their lives". However, I feel that Geelong College should be privileged to have had Ms Ulloa as a staff member.

Deidre Bain Since joining the College's Senior School design and creative arts department in 2009, Deidre has taught across many creative subjects. Demonstrating her wealth of experience in art education she has guided many enthusiastic young artists and designers within the disciplines of Visual Communication Design, Studio Arts (Textiles), Art (Photography and Painting). Her endearing caring nature provided students with a somewhat quirky, colourful, always friendly teacher, with a dogged determination to instil fundamental art practice skills within a safe, happy environment.

Deidre carried her passion for artmaking through into many extracurricular programs which included; three Fulfilling Lives trips to Bundanon, the home of Arthur Boyd donated to the nation as a place of learning in the arts, four trips to Lilla where staff and students worked with indigenous elders on group collaborative artworks. These art works are now displayed in the SS Canteen, Davey House and Austin Grey Centre.

Her dedication to arts education at College has seen Deidre become an integral contributor and facilitator of the Year 9 Art in the City program, our annual Senior School Arts Week, then more recently the House Arts exhibition and competition, and the VCE Art Show. This dedication has not simply stopped with our department. Deidre has been a significant contributor to our Senior School Productions and Musicals.

Working with parents, drama and dance staff, and technical crew Deidre made and co-ordinated the making of the stage props for Wizard of Oz, Seussical the Musical, Midsummer Night's Dream, Jacob and the Technicolour Dream Coat, Legally Blonde and Around the World in 80 days just to name a few.

Deidre has also taken her warm, willing and friendly spirit further into our community as a valued tutor in Shannon from 2009 to 2015 then more recently in Morrison.

After a long and successful teaching career across several schools, Deidre retires from timetables, bells and report writing to explore her own creative enterprise and journey.

Congratulations on your career and thank you for all your contributions to our school community.

Farewells Con Lannan Con Lannan has made an incredible contribution to The Geelong College as its archivist over the past 16 years. Before joining the College in 2003, Con had an impressive career managing libraries as a CEO. His skills in librarianship and public administration were put to good use here at College.

Con has been responsible for many projects to keep our history alive. All the displays; cataloguing, scanning, preservation of artworks and portraits, recording, research for stories and obituaries, articles for publications, honour boards and interpretive panels for historic sites at the school were part of Con's role. Con was also invaluable in his assistance to James Affleck with biographies of Collegians who fought at war and to Helen Penrose in the College history book, The Way to the Stars-150 years of The Geelong College.

He started work on the College's online heritage guide in 2009- it was a passion of his and he worked on it in his own time, even when on holiday. It is an invaluable resource; a complete history of the College from foundation to today. It has almost one million words and more than 2300 pages of historic information about the life, events and people of our community, including 1670 profiles of Collegians.

Con has worked with many volunteers from our community, who helped to scan documents and photos for the archives. Not only did he look after our history, he also took on the Moron go College collection in recent times and worked with volunteers from their community.

We are indebted to Con for his attention to detail, dedication and passion for his work.

We wish him a wonderful retirement with ample opportunities to fish, read and travel with his wife Donna.

Stephanie Lawrence Stephanie Lawrence brought with her a passion for Music education and a joy for imparting her knowledge that has permeated the numerous roles she has undertaken in her ten years of service in the Music Department at The Geelong College.

Commencing in 2010, Stephanie became the Music Coordinator of Ensembles and Conductor of the Secondary Girls' Choir until 2015. During this time, she also worked at various times as Director of the Preparatory School Orchestra, Moorabool Orchestra, Otway Orchestra and Celtic Ensemble, and has undertaken the significant role of Head of Strings in 2019. These leadership roles were also complemented by classroom teaching at many year levels.

Stephanie's ability to engage students, supportively and collaboratively has enabled arrangements to take in specific range and capabilities of the players. Music for the moment; orchestral and ensemble arrangements created for a specific moment in time, but making music meaningful, accessible and relevant to the Geelong College learners.

Stephanie's ability to bring her passion to the homeroom has not gone unnoticed and it is delightful to hear 'Uke Tuesday' as her homeroom students take out a ukulele and make music together to commence the school day. Her empathy, understanding and support for the students in her homeroom group has been outstanding and the relationships forged will be long remembered. As part of the Learning to Learn team, Stephanie has collaboratively engaged students and afforded them the opportunity to explore, develop and realise their interests and talents.

Alongside colleagues across the school, Stephanie was involved in the journey with Paul Jarman to create and write a school song. She valued the wonderful experience of working with a skilled writer and appreciated the opportunity to explore the history of Geelong and The Geelong College.

Music has not been the sole focus of Stephanie's skills. As an elective teacher of 'Paddock to Platter' she has encouraged the interaction with the Year 4 Enviro Program and the opportunity to educate and encourage our chefs to appreciate fresh produce and the opportunity to use the produce to create very appealing dishes.

We will miss the warm smile, passionate musician and generous and supportive colleague whom we have come to know over ten years. Our very best wishes Stephanie for your creative, collegiate educational journey.

Farewells Doug Wade Perhaps we have two former Australian Test cricketers to thank when, in late 1986, a young graduate with a mullet called Doug Wade, flew out from Adelaide for what would be Head of the Preparatory School Ian McMillan's final appointment. A conversation between John lnverarity, Head of Middle School at Pembroke School, and College's principal Paul Sheahan helped seal the deal.

Doug commenced his teaching in Year 5 and taught in all of the Middle School primary classes; he even ventured into the Year 7 realm at one stage for a year of maths teaching. Doug's easy and friendly manner with the students made him an extremely popular, liked and respected teacher. His awareness of the importance of creating strong and positive relationships with students, staff and parents underlies Doug's approach to life at school and his ability in establishing these relationships goes a long way to explaining the extraordinary contribution Doug has made to the lives of all he has encountered at the Middle School.

The Upper Primary years have seen significant change during Doug's time at the Middle School. Doug was a teacher as well as the primary coordinator in the inaugural years of both the Year 4 Enviro year, established in 2001, and the Communication themed Year 6 program, some ten years later. The Enviro year in particular has become a nationally renowned program, and Doug's involvement in those early days was undoubtedly a significant factor in its success.

Doug's educational philosophy was driven by one very simple question. Is this the best outcome for the students? This fundamental question underpinned his thinking and his philosophy; what's best for the students always came first.

Doug spent over 25 of his 32 years in leadership positions; a statistic in itself which is fair testament to his willingness to take on roles of responsibility that would establish and maintain the highest possible standards for both students and staff. He was a member of the Staff Association, Coordinator of Years 4-6 Mathematics, English, Integrated Studies, Primary Coordinator, and Leader of Learning for the Middle School.

His passion for sport was clearly evident too. A highly gifted footballer and athlete himself, Doug has imparted his wisdom and knowledge, both in a coaching and coordinating role, to thousands of students across a range of sporting areas, most notably football and athletics, but also tennis and basketball.

Doug's organisational skills, built around that trusty diary, seemingly permanently attached to one hand (a mug of tea invariably in the other!) were phenomenal. The manner in which he collaborated with staff, both as a colleague and as a leader, was always courteous, friendly and professional. He was as comfortable, and adept, discussing educational theory in a curriculum meeting, as he was chatting about the plight of the Cats, or the Crows, with a bunch of Year 8 students on the oval at recess.

Doug was, and I imagine will always remain, passionate and knowledgeable about matters educational; another way his students and colleagues benefitted so much.

He liked to keep up to date with everything going on in the world of education.

Doug constantly engaged and challenged both himself and his staff with the latest educational theories, gathering and sharing information from reviews, educational magazines and journals, reports from the latest podcasts, webcasts, TED talks, Twitter, biogs ... Yes, this man from the era of chalkboards, floppy discs and Bob Hawke easily kept up with the times.

There is no doubt in my mind that the school has benefited enormously from Doug's 33 years of outstanding teaching, collegiality and leadership. He will be missed.

Many years ago, the Geelong Football Club survived the departure of one Doug Wade, as he headed up the highway to continue his career with North Melbourne. Time will tell as to how The Geelong College will manage the departure of our very own Doug Wade.

Doug, we wish you all the very best for 2020 and beyond.

Farewells Michael O'Donnell The Geelong College has a proud history of educating young men and women in a timehonoured tradition of excellence and Michael has fulfilled these expectations admirably as a committed and passionate educator. His passion for History and Geography and deep knowledge of the English language, together with his perceptive understanding of young adolescents were used to ignite student imagination, debate and genuine interest in learning. Michael loved to teach these subjects and aimed to deepen student understanding of their world; its diversity, complexity and traditions. He encouraged his students to explore ancient cultures and develop a critical awareness of their own times and environment. Computer studies and Religious Education also became part of the varied repertoire undertaken by Michael.

Over the years at the Middle School, Michael has undertaken wide and diverse roles.

The move from Campbell House after two years saw Michael develop and work committedly towards the introductory phase of IT and he became the Coordinator at a time when laptops were not part of the scene and the computer lab was a hallowed space with assistants to support the program. He was the first IT administrator and employed the initial technical staff members as well as introducing the first web server and the introduction of laptops.

Coordination roles in English, History & Geography and Religious and Values Education followed and the role of Year 8 Coordinator was one that Michael valued and managed very successfully. His genuine empathy and ability to call 'a spade a spade' ensured that the students knew the ground rules and respected his leadership. We valued the genuine compassion and emotional intelligence Michael brought to the role. His guidance, wisdom, insight and intelligence will long be remembered by students who shared their learning journey with him. His skills were further tested when he took on the role as acting Deputy Head for a short period of time.

My most enduring memories are those of a man of great intelligence, wicked sense of humour and an articulate wordsmith. Our work together as Year 8 Coordinators was a privilege as I came to appreciate the genuine empathy and care that Michael brought to the role and the support that he was able to offer students in need of special care.

Michael has served as Head of Bellerophon and would also attest to having valuable knowledge as an experienced Year 8 Auscamp participant-18 Year 8 camps is a formidable tally. Sport coaching of both cricket and tennis was also on the repertoire of skills.

Michael is extremely well- travelled and has great interest in family history and connections. A school trip to Japan brought a realisation ofjust how readily Michael adapts and how genuinely he shows interest in the global context. He is extremely generous in his ability to support colleagues and his genuine friendship will be treasured.

Michael has enjoyed the closeness and support of colleagues, a sense of creativity, the sense of fun and appreciation of young adults and the values we espouse as well as the capacity for change.

Every day is unique in the life of a school.

Michael, we wish you well in a long and fulfilling retirement.

Margaret McArthur Margaret McArthur has resigned as the eLearning Coordinator at the end of 2019.

Margaret has been a valuable part of the College staff community since 2009. During this time, she has held several roles including: ICT Teacher, Acting Co-Deputy Head of Middle School role and Coordinator of eLearning.

Margaret has been key in the implementation and support of several ICT programs such Digiknow in the Junior School, the laptop program, Cybersaftey and most recently the implementation of our new Learning Management System SEQTA. Margaret has a great passion for all things ICT which has helped her push the College forward in its use of the many systems that support our staff and students.

Margaret has always approached her roles and tasks with great enthusiasm and prided herself on always helping staff and students, over and above what was expected. Her bubbly personality and Scottish accent always brought a smile to the staff and class room. We wish her well in her future endeavours.

Gerard Mack Gerard Mack joined The Geelong College in 2000, teaching music to our students, with focus on his passion for strings. He held the role of Head of Strings in his 20years of service. Gerard has taught across all campuses and conducted students in string ensembles in Junior School, Middle School and Senior School. He yearned to share his passion for music education with his students and was the driving force behind many string-based initiatives and performances.

As a classroom teacher, Gerard promoted a culture of string excellence and hard work.

He made connections with the Senior School string students and always reminded them to work effectively to improve their skills in both written and practical music. Such was his talent, that he was also able to arrange and compose many string pieces for the various ensembles formed at the College over his tenure.

Gerard was an active member and contributor to the College's co- curricular music program and his conducting was of a very high level, inspiring the sound and technique of many young musicians. He has a very creative side that was most evident in concerts such as the wonderful Junior School performance of'Ghostbusters', which involved the young students calling out the words at the top of their voices at the exact timing.

Gerard leaves The Geelong College to continue his passion in film composition and investigate connections with teaching this at universities and workshops around the globe. We thank him for the music and wish him, Kate and his two boys all the very best for the future.

Deb Brackley Deb Brackley began her career at the College in 2003 as a canteen assistant. She also showed her considerable food and beverage service skills, which were highly regarded, at a wide variety of functions under the realm of the Catering Department.

In 2008, Deb was appointed as the Senior School Tuckshop Manager and relished the opportunity to innovate, create new menu offerings and to foster and build healthy relationships with students. An example of this was Deb's picture of the salad of the day, which became so well known it was used as a House Trivia question! Her ability to manually calculate orders, give correct change whilst keeping orderly control of the conga line of boisterous, hungry students was amazing.

Deb always took an active interest in the lives of the student body, whether it be celebrating their sporting or academic success or by simply providing a sympathetic, non- judgemental ear to talk to.

An epiphany whilst walking along the beach led Deb to realise that her working life had come to an end. We wish Deb and her husband, Colin, a long and happy retirement and give thanks to her loyal and caring service to the College.

Margaret Ryan Margaret worked in the Learning Support Team across Junior School and Middle School. She also worked in After School Care and Early Learning. Margaret was committed and passionate about each of her roles and was a great support to the staff, students and teachers. During her twenty-four years of service with The Geelong College, Margaret left her footsteps on the hearts of many with whom she worked; staff, family members and especially students. Her caring and compassionate nature supported classroom teachers to ensure that the highest quality learning environments were created to ensure each student's needs were met. Margaret supported an inclusive learning environment and colleagues reflected on her kindness and dedication. We wish Margaret well in her retirement as she spends more time with her children and eleven grandchildren.

Farewells Valerie Dunstone & Johanna Torrance The end of Term 2 marked the end of an era in Mossgiel. After twelve years, Valerie Dunstone completed her last shift as Matron. At the same time, Johanna Torrance, known affectionately as Jo-Jo, also finished after four years of service to the girls in boarding.

In boarding, the Matron acts as mother. If students feel lonely, worried or homesick, they will find her to be a person who is sympathetic and understanding. She also attends to minor medical matters and liaises closely with the Medical Centre. If students need labels sewn on new clothing or minor repairs made, she will be able to help. In short.just by being there, she will be able to help students settle into the life of the House quickly and happily.

Across her time at College, Valerie certainly did just that. She supported three Heads of Girls' Boarding and hundreds of girls in her time at Mossgiel. She was especially caring of those struggling with the demands and challenges ofliving and studying away from home. Similarly, Jo quickly established herself as a sympathetic ear and understanding confidante.

Both have our most sincere gratitude for striving to make Mossgiel as much as a home away from home as possible. Both brought an abundance of kindness, care, advice and good humour. In their role, they were dependable, supportive, encouraging and honest. Both had a lovely knack ofrecognising when kindnesses were required, or whether tough love might be more appropriate.

Val will be remembered and missed for her forthright manner, no-nonsense approach and her organisation.

Jo-Jo was appreciated for her endeavours to create opportunities for learning and reflection.

Valerie and Johanna have our very best wishes, thanks and appreciation. Across Units 1-7 at Mossgiel, they will be missed. Both have demonstrated a huge service to the girls at Mossgiel and we thank them for their very personal and professional efforts.

KerrenWade Kerren worked in the Uniform Shop for almost twenty years.just over eleven years employed by The College and prior to that, for eight years with Dobson's, when the shop first officially opened and was managed by them.

I'm sure she thinks fondly of her times pre the shop renovation and the extreme challenges of working in an old garage with a tin shed for storage.

This would have been her 20th 'back to school' season. Kerren has seen and been involved in many changes of our school uniform over time and has been a huge part of where the shop is at today.

Kerren has built an amazing team in the uniform shop and has always taken great pride in her role as the College Uniform Shop Manager, which has included many hats including: • Visual merchandising • Finance • Stock ordering and counting • Uniform design and choice • Shop fit-outs and design Kerren has been a wonderful support to staff over the years, creating a harmonious work environment and continuing friendships.

I thank her for her contribution to the College, which has been a huge part of her life.
