Why The Geelong College matters The Wadawurrung people walked these hills and shores for thousands of years before European settlement and I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging. Today we celebrate the day this school began, July 8 in 1861 when Dr George Morrison welcomed his two teachers, 40 students, their families and the school's founding committee to this school they named The Geelong College, which is now one of Victoria's oldest schools. It was the realisation of the vision of some of the church and community leaders in the fledgling town ofGeelong, then only 25 years old. A town fast becoming a prosperous agricultural and commercial hub. Like other settlements springing up around Australia in the 1800s, they wanted to provide their children with a fine education so the prosperity of the town and the nation would continue. Ten years later Dr Morrison built these beautiful buildings and the school moved to the Newtown hill in 1871. Today they would marvel at what has become of their town, their country, and their school. On this important day I want to share with you some of my thoughts about the role this school plays in our nation. Since the COVID-19 Pandemic spread across the globe I have become more grateful than ever to live in Australia. Despite our recent wave of infections in Victoria we have managed to achieve a degree of control ofCOVID-19 that has escaped many other countries. How have we achieved this? Why has our death rate been in the low hundreds, while other countries have lost hundreds of thousands? When I look at what lies behind the good decision making it speaks well of our society.

A society that values good education; an education that produces excellence in scientists, doctors, economists and leaders. A society that respects this excellence, rewards talent and expertise, and promotes people to lead our institutions, on merit and ability, so clearly demonstrated in our health leaders. A society that has inherited a political system, that for all its flaws and annoyance, can set aside partisanship and angst for a period to work together in a crisis. A society that elects politicians who will listen to their appointed experts and have the courage to accept their advice, however painful. And a society that can produce true leaders who shine more than the politicians in a crisis; demonstrate integrity, and deliver a coherent message we can believe and trust. And, of course, a society that demonstrates compassion, obeying instructions and accepting sacrifice for a greater good: in this case the health of others. This is what we call our CIVIL society.

Australia has been called the Lucky Country but getting to this position was not simply by luck. The first contribution to our good story relates to our early European settlers wanting to build a fairer society than their countries of origin. A society where everyone has "a fair go". Charles Dickens, the most widely read English novelist of the nineteenth century with classics like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, had numerous characters who sent their wayward offspring to Australia, one of them describing this country of the 1860s as "the pit at the end of the world you toss useless folk in". Ironically, Dickens sent two of his nine children to Australia to make their own way. But many of those finding their way to this country in the 1800s proved to be better than Dickens' "useless folk". Finding themselves in a new world they were not bound by the shackles

of class and hierarchy, wealth and position of their country of origin. Importantly our forefathers brought to this country both an honour of education and a desire for a political system that embraced fairness. They diverged from the various models of nineteenth century societies developing simultaneously across the American and African continents to develop our unique Australian society. The founders of our constitution in 1901 also valued everybody's right to an opinion, giving all citizens the vote regardless of wealth or gender: a concept revolutionary at the time. Since the beginning, our society has been progressively enriched through immigration from almost every other country in the world; each wave of migration welcoming the opportunity to live in a society that shares and cares. This compassion was witnessed with the outpouring of generosity and support for the residents of public tower housing in Melbourne locked in during a COVID cluster outbreak. And, this compassion is perhaps a contrast to what we are witnessing in some other nations during the pandemic. The second aspect to create our civil society can be attributed to our nation's economic adaptability in the face of many challenges. Over time our economic development has had to be agile. In the beginning, over our first 150 years, we were a dispersed rural and agricultural economy. The horseback riding bush pioneers illustrated in the poems of Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson shone, breeding those brave knockabout heroes from World War One we celebrate on Anzac Day. Then, following World War Two, we progressed over the second half of last century to become a manufacturing society. Now, in this century, you are witnesses to the next major turn in direction of our economy to the current combination of a knowledge economy supported by our rich mineral resources. Our COVID-19 experience serves as a fine example for the rest of the world of what can be achieved by an agile and collaborative society, that respects good governance and good science. Australia is a small player on the international stage, but this demonstrates we "punch above our weight". There are parallels for our city of Geelong here. If Australia is a small but respected player on the international stage, Geelong is a small but respected player on our national stage. We are a second city, we are much, much smaller than our big brother capital cities, but we too "punch above our weight". Geelong reflects Australia at large. Geelong too has had to be agile to maintain a sustainable economy. Like Australia, our 1820 origins were based on our rural agricultural hinterland as a centre for wool and wheat, but then in the 1950s we became a manufacturing hub with Ford, Alcoa, International Harvester, Winchester and other industries. Their demise with globalisation saw our city defy the doomsayers to again reinvent ourselves by becoming Australia's foremost social insurance sector: NDIS, TAC, WorkSafe; and a knowledge centre with Deakin University, which boasts 60,000 students here and beyond, with its specialised smart industrial developments, such as the Carbon Wheel project. We are also a Health sector servicing all of Western Victoria. Now there is talk that bespoke manufacturing may again return. And of course, we have that football club, as old as this school, that serves to unify our aspirations. Today as we reflect on the nearly 160-year history of this school, an institution that has lived through all these changes of society and economy, our own history mirrors the tales of our Nation and our city. This school has played a strategic role in all of these changes. It has reflected the changing mix of our society from the 1861 Scottish Presbyterian origins, providing education for the families of merchants and farmers, then over time becoming more ecumenical in its Christian philosophy, now welcoming all religious and cultural backgrounds. One hundred years ago it was the school of choice for Western District farmers, fifty years ago for the executives from the manufacturers Ford and

Alcoa, and now for the leaders within the Insurers, or University or Health sector. As our Collegians have graduated their careers have reflected the changing opportunities, demands and needs of society covering the full range of trades and professions. They have laid down their lives in service of their country as we commemorate each Anzac Day. They have run farms, businesses and factories, saved lives and solved problems. They have even invented vaccines and won a Nobel prize. There have been both leaders and doers, providing the backbone of our society. While the school reflects the city in which we exist, we also lead it as our alumni are scattered through all its institutions, businesses and community organisations, providing exceptional leadership for our city in all its varied domains. We can reflect with great pride that The Geelong College is truly a part of the foundation stone for our city, our state and our nation. We also recognise our privilege so we must carry that pride with humility. I have focused on the glory and success of our society, and our school, however there is also shame which we must endeavour to address. I have talked about the prosperity we have gained from this part of the world but we have to always be reminded that the European settlers stole the land from our First Peoples who trod this continent in harmony for 50,000 years before us. We have treated them appallingly for generation after generation. We must strive to redress these wrongs and share our prosperity to address this inequality. But as a school we have our own demons to address. The historic harm perpetrated on some past students by a few, but overlooked by many, continues to require our efforts at redress in its many forms. Whether we need guidance to address our failings, or ways to continue our successes, our compass is our core of values. Importantly this school reflects the values of our Australian society we hold so dear, values that have shone during this COVID-19 pandemic. A respect for education that develops great scientists, doctors, economists and leaders with integrity, and respect for each other as we support their endeavour. Compassion for the welfare of our community in all its diversity, and the courage to survive the tough times. And, holding true to these values with both humility and grace. These values have always been part of The Geelong College identity since its beginnings in 1861, so it is no coincidence that even to this day we see them as important characteristics for all Collegians to contribute to maintaining our Civil society. This is why our school's values are: Integrity with Compassion Community with Diversity Aspiration with Humility Respect with Grace Endeavour with Courage

For thus is the way to the stars.

The famous 20th century British composer, Gustav Holst, once told his students at St Paul's Girls' School, London: "We will sing and dance through sheer joy of existence." In the midst of a Global pandemic in 2020 we have been challenged to embrace life with such enthusiasm. However, seeking to maintain an optimistic disposition to facilitate positive experiences for our young people is a key responsibility for a school such as The Geelong College. As you look through this year's edition of Pegasus I am sure you will find our extraordinary record of an extraordinary year. The significant disruptions to the year with two extended periods of Remote Learning for our students and significant restrictions on our community movement have demanded constant rethinking of events and opportunities for our students. As a consequence, their experiences at the end of the year differ from those we anticipated at the commencement of 2020. There has been much talk about all the things that have been missed in 2020. The list of cancellations is extensive. Despite this reality, the 2020 edition of Pegasus captures something of the many achievements this year. As usual, we have much to celebrate. The experiences for our students of 2020 cannot be changed but we have embraced the year with a sense of adventure and enthusiasm, despite the many challenges. I think the further we move on from 2020 the clearer the value of the experience will become in shaping the way we interact with each other, incorporate technology in our lives and approach challenges. At the same time, the extraordinary hardship for some families and incredible physical and social demands upon people resulting from extended period of restrictions on movement cannot be ignored. It has been a tough year. 2020 has had a clear beginning, middle and end for our students. The beginning of the year saw an unusual eight weeks in Term 1 with the imposition ofrestrictions looming for the final two weeks of that period. In the middle of the year was a period of seven weeks of on-site school for students from Early Learning to Year 6 as well as for Years 11 and 12. There was a slightly shorter period offive weeks at school for students in Years 7 to 10 at this time. At the end of the year we had all students back for Term 4 which enabled our Year 12 to continue in a more conventional way towards their VCE preparation as well as some time together for some significantly modified celebrations of their end of school.

Responding to the considerable demands of engaging in Remote Learning was challenging. Given our existing practices which integrate technology into the learning environment the big leap to Remote Learning was a little less than for some schools. However, it was a long leap. During the first COVID-19 wave from 23 March to 26 May there was a great deal of effort by all of us adapting to the technology available which enabled Remote Learning in real time rather than the traditional correspondence style more typical of the well-established Distance Education model. Throughout this first period of Remote Learning we worked in fortnightly periods of planning which resulted in constant adaptation and innovation through ongoing review and reflection. The level of creativity of our teachers and support staff was fantastic. Also, the strength and resourcefulness of our students helped to carry us all through this period. It was well understood that success with this approach required collaboration by everyone, all of the time. Considerable reflection and rethinking of our strategies based upon student, parent and staff feedback enabled us to make changes as we went. It was a shared experience with a real sense of learning together. The second COVID-19 wave and associated restrictions from 5 August to 18 September brought with it less enthusiasm but a sense of pragmatism for all of us. We had a clearer idea of what needed to be done and how to do it. To the credit of students, teachers, support staff and the families at home, this very difficult period was undertaken with great stoicism. The lessons from the first extended period of Remote Learning informed our practices and prepared us for the difficulties. Physically and emotionally, it was like walking through mud as we looked to keep moving towards our goals, support each other and make it safely to the other side. A sense of purpose and togetherness, although isolated, guided us all through August and September ahead of the return to on-site learning at the start of Term 4. It is important to note that last year we identified five key areas of advancement at The Geelong College. These all relate to our Strategic Plan and include: Learning Culture; Indigenous Connections; International Connections; Faith and Values; and Building Community. Although the way we have addressed each of these key areas in 2020 may be different from the way we had imagined, they continued to be important compass points, guiding our actions this year.

The Geelong College exists today because of the significant contributions of the people in the past. Our history is full or richness and great achievements. We also continue to be honest in our engagement with the less savoury aspects of our history. In particular, we continue to work with a number of former students who were harmed at this school in some way. The shameful acts of a few staff upon children who were in their care require sensitive and compassionate responses today. We are endeavouring to approach this situation with care as we seek to help people who have been harmed put their lives back together. This task has continued in 2020 and will continue into the future.

I am confident you will see evidence of great enthusiasm, energy and the product of enormous labour in the achievements documented in this edition of Pegasus. Student events across the year, the official opening of the redeveloped and world-class Junior School facility at Campbell House, as well as many other inclusions in this yearbook are all worth celebrating and have been documented here. It has been a challenging year in which we have learned a great deal. I trust you will enjoy reviewing this documentation of a very unusual year.

After 17 years on The Geelong College Council and 14 of these as the Chair, Dr Hugh Seward OAM retired from Council at the November meeting this year. Hugh's long association with College is well known and documented. Among his many connections are his time as a student at College from his earliest years of schooling and then as School Captain in 1970. While on Council Hugh was a member of The Geelong College Finance, Risk Management, Planning, Executive, Education and Reach Out Committees. He is also a past President of the Senior School Parents' Association and continues to be a member of the Albert Bell Club.

It is often said that organisations take on the personalities of those who lead them. Hugh's thoughtful and carefully considered position on all topics has had an impact upon the operations of the College Council and upon its organisational disposition. The Chair of Council is a role that is not well understood, and the evidence of the Chair's work is visible at a distance. Hugh's influence on the Council and upon the school as a whole, over an extended period, is very significant.

Hugh's drive, commitment and personal connection to College have been extraordinary. He is married to Claire who has been a tower of strength. Also, their four children have all attended College: Kate (OGC 2000); Minnie (OGC 2002); George (OGC 2006); and, Harry (OGC 2009). It is important for us to remember that members of The Geelong College Council participate in the governance of College in a completely voluntary capacity. There is absolutely no payment for time or reimbursement for expenses incurred in undertaking this important role. We are all very grateful to Hugh and for other members of the College Council for their willing service to ensure The Geelong College is appropriately governed.

Hugh's departure from the College Council is going to be as strange for him as it will be for those on Council. He has been a focal point for its operations, decision making and strategic direction for a generation. We are all very grateful for this wonderful service. Now we can look forward to Hugh's ongoing involvement with life at College as a grandparent. With both Winnie and Baxter attending school here, I am sure Hugh will continue to be present in and around the grounds regularly. Congratulations Hugh and thank you for an outstanding contribution to our school. We have all benefited from your commitment and interest in the success of others. Dr Peter Miller

What a year 2020 has been for us all. A year of ambiguity and change. One where many of our lives have become so different in the space of 6 months, and one to remember for a very long time. As Year 9 students, new to the overwhelmingly large Senior School, we all remember looking up at the Year 12s and the fun they had, the stress they experienced, and the rewards they were given coming the end of the year. 2020 has thrown up many challenges and there have been numerous obstacles in our way. These have been experiences we will certainly never forget, and it may not come as a surprise that we and this year's cohort of Year 12s are excited to see what next year has in store, despite the rollercoaster year of 2020. While we did not experience the complete version of Year 12 that we had anticipated, we have become closer as a group of stronger individuals and more prepared to tackle the world than ever before. Having realised that it is not always about the normal, traditional, or extravagant things that make a Year 12 experience so special. Rather, it is the little things, the small memories of the time we have spent together, that we will hold as the fondest memories of our school journey. Memories that have given us so much perspective on life. We will always cherish the events, and school rites of passage that we have experienced as Year 12s, teaching us to never again take any privileges for granted. It's been easy for us all to feel somewhat down and complacent at different times throughout the year. There is no doubt that missing out on formals, dinners, presentations, final sport matches in front of a home crowd, assemblies, and even the odd four SACs in one day led to feelings of frustration and anger for us all. However, the ability to move on, and look to the future has been one of the major lessons we have all learnt from 2020. The ability to stay positive and strong has bound us together and allowed us to realise that there are bigger things in this world to worry about. Spending less time dwelling on what could have been, and more time working for a better future, will be the key to moving past 2020, and taking on what the rest of our lives have in store. Despite this, we think we have all bonded in a way that other Year 12 cohorts have not, and we've come together with a strength that makes us so proud to be a part of such an amazing group of Year 12s, as well as an amazing wider community.

The notion that COVID can't stop anyone with a motivation to succeed has certainly been at the forefront of our community, and something that has brought this school together in such an unprecedented time. We are so proud to have contributed to such a different year, where we are sure the Year 12s, along with all other year levels, will go down as the COVID survivors, and a group of people who will hold a special place in this school's history as change-makers, and motivators for the future. COVID also taught us many new skills and to appreciate the little things. Being School Captains during a pandemic we had to find different ways to engage, motivate and lead our fellow students: Personal phone calls of congratulations when we heard of an achievement, sending out video messages for the kids to remain positive and offering our constant support, video recorded assemblies, prefect meetings via Zoom, virtual school dinners, and many pre-recorded speeches. All this taught us to adapt and adopt changes with a positive attitude and the mindset to just get things done. Although it's hard looking back, we wished we could have been more present as School Captains and we are extremely proud to have been a part of this unique chapter in the College's life. It is certainly one that will never be forgotten in the rich history of this school, and its part in creating leaders that go out into the world and become exceptional people. Although we have not taken part in many of the traditions and 'normal' experiences as school leaders, we have striven to forge a new path for future students, where 'the norm' isn't always the traditional, best or most fulfilling style of leadership, rather, a sense of uniqueness, passion, individuality and adaptability. These are ultimately the values that we have learnt make good leaders, and certainly strengths and values that we have been able to develop this year. We want to acknowledge the ongoing support, encouragement and dedication from the teachers and staff at The Geelong College throughout this year. We thank you for the extra lengths you went to in order to make 2020 run as smoothly as possible. As School Captains, personally, we could not have done it without you, so thank you.

If I could only choose one word to describe 2020, it would be 'revealing'. Naturally, there are other descriptors that would be appropriate and perhaps a few that are not, however, the pandemic has forced change across all facets of the school which has challenged our usual cautious approach to change. This year has revealed a great deal, much of which will become part of our 'new normal'. Student and staff capacity have been revealed as the most significant learnings of 2020. The student body was able to switch to Remote Learning with far more efficiency than the teaching staff, largely to be expected given their ease and familiarity with technology. Teachers, on the other hand, were incredibly anxious about moving their teaching to on line platforms given there were only a few days of professional learning available to ups kill them. So, whether you subscribe to the 'sink or swim' or 'fight or flight' response, it would be fair to say that teachers learnt to swim and fight very quickly! This year, the school calendar has been stripped back to its bare teaching and learning bones. There have been no incursions or excursions, no interruptions due to school photos, no camps or trips - nothing! Time in class was rarely wasted as teachers would click into their class with the same precision usually reserved for the 6pm nightly news. No small talk, pleasantries or uniform adjustments.just straight into it! The clutter in our school system has become an enormous anchor on our educational progress in recent times. Our education system is so consumed with programs, resources, approaches,

We want to reiterate how proud we are of each and every student at The Geelong College from Junior School, Middle School and Senior School for the way you have all been so strong, persistent, resilient and adaptable in the 2020 school year. We know the school is in very safe and capable hands as each and every student has something unique to contribute to the legacy of The Geelong College. One final tip from us for the remainder of your school journey is to never think 'what if',just 'do', and to take all the opportunities that this school offers and reach for the stars. Georgie Cullen & Matthew Thacker, Co-Captains

compliances, tests and standards that we bought and committed to eons ago that it's now very hard to unwind. That said, we must carefully put the calendar back together so that we are able to enjoy the best of both worlds. While we may be targeting an economic snapback postcoronavirus, it is vital that our learnings from this year bear fruit in the next few years. One example being worked on is providing teachers with the opportunity to teach in dual mode. That is, teaching students in a physical classroom whilst having students learn from home at the same time, in the same moment. Our remote learning platform this year rightly steered away from dual mode teaching in order to protect staff, yet with flexible tools and appropriate training, the opportunities are endless and may prove to benefit both students and teachers. One example is offering 'Flexible Fridays' for Year 12 classes where students are given the option to learn from school or from home that day. If able to learn from home on a Friday, some students may pick up 2-3 hours of personal time by not travelling to and from school or having to sit through recess, lunch, tutorials or spare periods. Consequently, they may use their time to attend to academic priorities prior to a busy weekend filled with co-curricular responsibilities, part-time work or hectic social calendars. It may also assist their transition to life after school as many institutions and workplaces evolve their own practices. The saying goes that you 'should never waste a crisis'. We haven't and we won't!

This quotation launched our journey into very new learning territory as a College community this year. As the opening of our Guide to Remote Learning in March, it signalled the way in which all of us would need to approach the time ahead - with strident purpose, positivity, and curiosity rather than dread.

When we realized that College aspirations for our students, their learning, ____ ,.._,, growth and relationships . might have to be attained through different approaches in this year, we consciously reframed our thinking. We said to our parent community that;

Our teachers across the College have found innovative ways to work with their classes: from our Junior School learning packs, to Year 10 Science experiments over Teams; from our PE students undertaking home fitness and wellbeing challenges, to Art students exploring photography at home. All our students have continued working with their teachers to advance their learning in new hands-on ways. We've had online quizzes, remote assessment tasks, children learning in their own garden, or by walking around the block at home. As a College, we have continued to prioritise feedback to students and thankfully distance has not prevented us from helping students to develop. SEQTA, our online learning platform, has provided students and parents with a rich source offeedback throughout the terms. Its more timely, personalised and trackable information will continue to assist students in the years ahead as we enhance our use of the platform. This year we ran, for the first time, on line parent-teacher interviews. Using Microsoft Teams, parents were able to chat with their child's teacher without even having to leave home or their workplace to do so. The response from families was incredibly positive.

Two secrets to learning success ...

This period of Remote Learning will provide all of us with an opportunity to engage in a new and unparalleled way with each child's learning. Parents will have a precious window through which to view the daily life of their child or children at school, something they rarely see. Like a fly on the wall in a classroom, a parent can view their child's subjects, their teachers, how each child approaches learning, and how a child navigates challenges ... As a College we value and aim to foster student agency, accountability and the ability to know how to learn. This period of Remote Learning will provide a precious opportunity for students to become drivers oftheir own learning.

Whilst certainly facing a huge challenge in our teaching and learning this year, the essence of real learning remained unchanged. The internet is one tool among many and even Microsoft Teams is just a platform. The nature of learning, at its core, is still the same. The narrative around learning, who does it and how, is much more important than the processes around teaching. The learning is what happens when students are engaged, autonomous and understand why they're doing what they're doing. This year has been a celebration of our students' drive, our teachers' dedication and our community's agility.

The BEST recall, or retrieval, tricks

I congratulate our students on their adaptability and resilience this year and thank families across the College for the encouragement they have been to our teaching staff. Your gratitude and support are invaluable. Finally, we need to acknowledge the continued passion and dedication of our teachers. We are driven to make a difference in the lives of our students and, regardless of the different approaches needed this year, we hope that we have been successful in encouraging children to love learning.

Celebration of our 2019 Year 12 results It is important that we document and celebrate the achievements of our 2019 Year 12 cohort. Our fine results were testament to the strength of a Geelong College education, the commitment of our students and the great skill and passion of our teaching staff. The Geelong College is not an academically selective institution; we welcome all students to our learning community, from all language and cultural backgrounds, each of them with different strengths. We embrace and provide a holistic education, allowing each student to develop outside the classroom. Indeed, many of our highest academic performers are also our busiest students! It reveals the strength of our community and the values of our College that we can assist our students to achieve results which are among the very best in the State. Indeed, in 2019 we were among the highest performing schools outside of Melbourne. That speaks volumes for what we do here and what College offers to our students. The median ATAR at College in 2019 was 83.725. This means that 50% of our students finished in the top 17% of all Victorian students. For the middle student in our entire cohort to be in the top 17% of the state is remarkable. At the beginning of this year, we welcomed back our highestachieving students to congratulate them, draw inspiration from them, and celebrate with them. Our newest Old Collegians attendees finished in the top 3% of the tens of thousands of students in Victoria. Welcoming them and their families back to the Senior School was a fitting way to reconnect and to send them proudly into their next stage oflife. Of our top eleven scholars, nine were able to join us. Each earned an ATAR of97.90 or more. Despite having all studied different subjects, been involved in many ways at College, and all going on to diverse post-school options, their dedication to their studies served as motivation for other students. Our Dux of School, Iona Bulford was invited to speak to the students and staff at the Assembly. She spoke with honesty and humility, encouraging those who come after her to approach their Year 12 journey with a strong sense of perspective. Congratulations once again to all our Year 12 students from 2019. What follows is a brief citation about our top 20 achievers from the cohort.

2020 Foundation Fellowships We are grateful once again to the College Foundation who generously support staff to undertake unique learning. Unfortunately, the following trips were not able to take place this year, but we congratulate the following staff on their successful applications and hope that they can reschedule these experiences soon. • Senior School teachers Pat Clark, Elizabeth Smith and Fabio D'Agostin

Throughout 2020 our Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation (CLRI), has continued with its vision to enriching the intellectual tenor of the College, provide diverse learning opportunities for our community, whilst also contributing to the wider educational landscape through public lectures and events and collaborative partnerships. Whilst event restrictions certainly brought some disappointments and cancelled events, we were able to continue in a creative fashion with much of our work.

Cognizance Research Project For the second year in a row, we undertook the Cognizance Research Project, in partnership with Independent Schools Victoria. 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 educational neuroscientist Dr Jared Cooney Horvath, the workshops were called "Hacking the Brain". Here are two reflections from our students: • "This project was ... a truly eye opening experience ... the project opened my eyes to a whole new aspect of learning and my brain. I drive this tool, not the other way around. The time Jared spent speaking to us got me thinking about thinking, which in my opinion is the best kind of thinking one can do. Joel Grigsby - Year 9

• "When you meet Jared, you understand that he's not your ordinary scientist that maybe a lot of us expected. His enthusiasm is captivating. I came to the realisation that as much as I said I didn't really enjoy science; I didn't want his sessions to be over... We learnt many things over our time with him, things like your brain isn't just one brain ... it's a lot of smaller ones ... We learnt that talent isn't in your genes, and that sleep, a little stress, and recalling rather than re-reading, are key to studying and doing well." Agnes Rotsas - Year 9

To embark upon a study tour of Helsinki, participating in the International LU MAT Symposium, a forum for contemporary practices in global STEM education. • Director of Early Learning, Ros Molyneux

Nature pedagogy tour to attend a Claire Warden Study Tour to Crieffin Scotland, and an Inside Out Nature tour to the Forest Kindergartens in Denmark. • Indigenous Student Coordinator, Jane Leyshon

To attend The Garma Festival in North East Arnhem Land, an Indigenous festival that focuses on improving the state of Indigenous disadvantage by engaging leaders to shape global, regional and industry agendas.

Feedback and Assessment with Bronwyn Ryrie-Jones Bronwyn is a Melbourne-based teacher, trainer and consultant who works with teachers and educational organisations who want to think rigorously about developmental assessment, task design, feedback and evidence-informed principles of instruction. She has begun working with our Middle School teachers, and this important work will continue over the coming years as we build our shared understanding and upskill staff to use contemporary, evidence-informed approaches to assessment.

Website and Podcast Series During Term 3 the Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation was excited to launch their new website (http://www.clri.com. au/). The site provides us with a platform for promoting events, reporting on the work of the College, and engaging with the wider community. We have also been working on some podcast interviews, the first few of which are already available on the website. We are also placing associated resources and links on the site which we hope will provide everyone with interesting reading material.

Neuroscientist-in-Residence: Dr Jared Cooney Horvath Early this year we launched our Neuroscientist-in-Residence program. A new project for Geelong College, this residency has arisen in response to the CLRl's current strategic priorities. We have been drawn to the work of Dr Jared Cooney Horvath, renowned educator, researcher and speaker. He will partner with the CLRI and the College in exploring the role of the brain in learning. We are proud to include an article here from Dr Cooney Horvath.

Luckily, we often do our best learning by looking backwards rather than by trying to project forwards. For that reason, rather than trying to guess what will come next, let's take stock of what we've learned over the last year. 1) Teachers are ridiculously adaptable

3 Lessons from COVID

For all the flack they get in some popular realms, teachers are some of the most selfless, hard-working individuals in the world. Now, with the spotlight on distance learning, the world has come to recognise not only how difficult the job of teaching is, but just how passionate and adaptable teachers are. I would love to see this snowball into increased respect, pay, and assurances across education - but who knows.

"We Plan - God Laughs"

2) Learning is everything

There is currently a group of people who call themselves 'futurists.' Much like Nostradamus, these individuals attempt to predict the future then work to adjust the present in order to match this vision.

The only truly future-proof skill in the world is metacognition (knowing how to learn). When students don't know where they'll be learning, what material they'll be learning from, or who they'll be learning with the only constant is deep knowledge of the learning process itself. This is what we explored with Year 9 students this year: once students recognise and can take agency over the larger patterns of learning, then they can jump between live and digital context with minimal impact.

As you can guess, a favourite target for these futurists is education. You can't throw a rock without hitting someone who thinks they understand why 'school is out of touch' and how to adjust it to become more 'future-aligned'. Despite all the hype, man has never been able to predict the future with any sort of accuracy. Furthermore, any time we begin to get a handle on things, the Universe always throws a completely unexpected black-swan event our way. COVID is a case-in-point. There is not a single futurist or progressive educator who saw this coming or could have prepared for the incredible changes it brought about.

3) Digital ain't live

Zoom was fun ... for a month. It didn't take long for teachers and students to recognise that it lacks a clear, meaningful social element- and this was almost universally construed as a negative. When kids are clamouring to get back to the classroom to see their friends, this is a good sign that school and education are not all about learning. In fact, the social aspects might be equally (if not more) important than the academic aspects for most individuals and their evolution.

ction to

Over the next two years or more Dr Cooney Horvath will be working with our College by;

• Teaching our Year 9s, again through the Cognizance Research Project;

• Delivering follow-up workshops for Year 10; • Introducing Years 11 and 12 to a range of learning strategies; • Educating staff across the College in brain-based classroom practice; • Contributing to our collective knowledge as a community through public addresses and written articles.

I have taught at The Geelong College for 15 Years and served as a Head of House for 8 years with a strong focus on pastoral care. Excited by the opportunities of my appointment as a Leader of Learning, I envisaged this as a chance to reinvigorate my teaching and explore exciting ideas with colleagues. Aesop warned, "be careful what you wish for, lest it comes true." The global disruption ofCOVID-19 completely and rapidly changed our approaches to teaching. The profound immersion into intensive professional development that I had eagerly sought was imposed by necessity upon all teachers.

Every challenge enables growth. An ancient technique for cleaning grain is allowing wind to separate the chaff from grain as it falls. Perhaps this COVID-19 storm has winnowed away the ineffective and unimportant, leaving behind what works, what matters and the reminder of what we most value. Q7: I am comfortable using Microsoft Teams. ~ , 11

Slal!pe-Q ,4

Students had increased agency this year. Some of our introverted students loved quieter moments in individual Microsoft Teams calls. It moved from an unknown program to our primary communication method. Some flourished, taking the opportunity to reach out virtually to experts on the other side of the globe. Specialists were able to visit remote classes to share their real-life experiences.

.....

One of the privileges of my position is to observe all school departments. I was impressed by the generosity of shared skills, ideas and resources and the sense of purpose of my colleagues as they rapidly transitioned to Remote Learning. The extraordinary sustained efforts of our teachers were driven by concern for our students as we worried about how we could teach and support our students effectively.

Q8: I am connected to the teacher when I m in class.

We surveyed students of the Senior School about remote learning. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Students identified successes of their teachers; they were organised, effective learning continued, students were well-behaved and courteous; class time was used productively. Students acknowledged and appreciated our efforts.

Students predictably felt less connected with peers. Classrooms are dynamic as students discuss, debate and learn collaboratively. They make friends. A sense of community is hard to replicate remotely. Students could communicate; however, without social cues, they were sometimes reluctant to engage, worried they might talk too much. Sometimes Remote Learning was a bland simulacrum of the energetic classroom. I am asked, sometimes by their parents, why I would choose to spend my days with teenagers. Late adolescence is a fascinating time as students journey to adulthood. Watching their interactions as they debate the operation of our legal and political systems from the perspective of their developing world view is endlessly entertaining. The feeling of staff during Remote Learning was one of loss; we missed them. We were so pleased to see their return.

Q9: I am connected to my classmates when I am in class. ~

sn &lllppM:I •

··-

I commenced my role as College Chaplain this year and in a year of challenge, change and uncertainty, I have been greatly encouraged by the strength, resilience and courage of our community. "Encourage one another and build one another up.just as you are doing." (1 Thessalonians 5:11) A highlight for me this year has been seeing our students, staff and families demonstrating genuine care for one another. Intentionally checking in on each other during Remote Learning, a kind word or call at the right time or a care package to brighten someone's day. Our Chapel services have looked different this year, but we have continued in an on line capacity with regular services for staff and students and special services to reflect on the meaning of Easter and Christmas. Chapel continues to be a space for peaceful reflection, encouragement and to explore faith together. It has been wonderful to see our students involved; sharing readings, prayers and using their musical gifts to share songs offaith. I have greatly enjoyed working with our wonderful Religious Education team across our school. There is a passion to continue to strengthen a curriculum that is relevant and that creates opportunities for our students to explore life's big questions around faith, meaning and purpose. Space for students to reflect on their lives, their relationships and the influence we all have to shape our world for the better. Under the leadership and guidance of Dr Miller we commenced a review of Service Learning across the College; to look at the opportunities our students have to serve within our school and through a cross-curricular approach for service within our local community. Aligned with our school values is a hope

-IZ 2Q2D

for our young people to look outwardly with compassion and empathy to see the needs of others and a realisation that they can make a difference in our world. It has been fantastic to see this organically taking place within our school; for example, Year 12 student, Josh Newton who volunteers at Christ Church Geelong, shared with me an idea to do something this Winter to help those in need. We came up with the idea of the Winter Warm-up clothing drive; where Senior School students and staff contributed items. "I'm sure it's going to help a lot of people stay warm and stay healthy this Winter. I know personally it's going to be great to have the ability to hand out clothing and blankets to those that need it." (Josh Newton Year 12) As a College we have some strong existing partnerships with local churches, organisations and charities and this is something we hope to build upon. Steve Wright, Senior School Chaplain

The Godly Play program has continued in the Early Learning and Junior Schools and while it has been interrupted through Remote Learning this year, all students in Junior School have had the opportunity to participate in this program, continuing their individual development in the areas of spirituality and their knowledge and understanding of the values of Christianity through story and song. Assemblies have continued throughout the year, in person and through the Teams platform and in both the Junior School and Middle School. At assemblies we have had a prayer, and often a reading from the Bible, sometimes with a short reflection highlighting the meaning of the reading and tying in with seasonal celebrations and the needs of our community. This time within the assemblies has given our students and staff an opportunity to reflect on our community and the wider world, consider our blessings and remember all those in need. Leanne Earl, Junior and Middle School Chaplain

This has been a year with many challenges and as the year has unfolded, we have had to revise, reset and re-envision how we do things in the Chaplaincy department. We began the year with our annual pancake fund raiser for 'Shrove Tuesday' across the College, raising money for Uniting Barwon, Grovedale. Pancakes for the Junior School and Middle School were made by the Preparatory School Parents Association parents and sold by Student Representative Council members in Middle School. The Senior School pancakes were made and sold by Mr Wright and Senior School Prefects. This was a significant fundraiser with $1019.75 raised and donated to the Uniting Church welfare organisation that supports people across Gee long in need of assistance. The organisation Eat Up, which we have supported for several years, through donations and sandwich making, that provides local students in Geelong and beyond with lunches, has had to adapt to the changing landscape this year. In Term 1 our Year 6 students participated in making 1000 sandwiches with Eat Up for students who arrive at school with no lunch. Terms 2 and 3 looked very different with Eat Up delivering sandwich making ingredients directly to schools and food boxes for their families. They will continue with this model in Term 4 with the food deliveries to schools in Victoria. As a means of ongoing support, we will conclude our year with a crazy sock day across the College in Term 4 as a fundraiser for Eat Up.

Webinars Online webinar sessions included Sexuality Education for years 4- 6, Year 11 Steer Right Road Safety program and the regular Year 12 TripleR sessions. This year, speakers included double amputee Mike Rolls, Founder of Off Spring, Kristi Van Es; past students Matt Carroll and Callum Wood on Financial Literacy; James Lynch on Interview Skills; motivational speaker Ruth Clare and of course the return of Paul Dillon. Students were not disappointed at Paul's online delivery. His relationship with College students seems to get stronger every year as does his reputation amongst students as "a good bloke" Responses from two Year 10 students:

I found the presentation really interesting this morning and thought that Paul offered some very simple yet beneficial advice.

tripleR

Resilience - I can. Relationships - I care. Reflection -Now I see.

The wellbeing of our students is always at the forefront of our thinking but never more so than throughout this very disrupted year, where students have moved in and out of face to face learning interspersed with the virtual classrooms of Remote Learning.

Junior School Without the daily face to face cues that teachers use to observe and reflect on the wellbeing of our students, regular check ins were vital. Ensuring that we could deliver the TripleR programs via the virtual classroom was also very important. The Learning Packs for Junior School included a comprehensive range of wellbeing activities giving parents an opportunity to understand key features of social and emotional learning. The children learnt the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of social and emotional competency through themes such as Emotional Literacy, Personal Strengths, Positive Coping, Problem Solving and Mindfulness.

Whilst evidently being geared towards the main 'drinkers' I felt that the presentation was also very pertinent to those who attend these social gatherings without the intention of drinking alcohol. I thought Paul covered both parties comprehensively and was able to give advice to each ofthem on how to keep each other safe. Oscar Dowling Year 10 I really enjoyed Paul Dillon's presentation today; I think he presented very relevant and useful knowledge. I liked how he provided tips not only for drinkers, but also for non-drinkers, who may find themselves in a situation where it is critical for them to care correctly for a drunk friend. Unlike other presentations on alcohol and drugs that I have previously experienced, Paul was realistic in the expectations of teenage drinking and his information more applicable to our age group. I also found his discussion and correction of the common myths surrounding intoxication useful. Emmy Boyer Year 10

Andrew Schuyler TripleR Coordinator

Years 4, 5 & 6 looked closely at The Respectful Relationships program in their Triple R classes. Respectful Relationships promotes and models respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. It teaches our students how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence. Teachers and students focussed on a range of topics including understanding emotions and feelings, developing positive connections with peers and dealing with problems and problem solving. It has been fantastic to see students taking on messages and themes from lessons and building them into class cultures and community interactions. James Colbert Year 4,5,6 Coordinator

Postcards from Home - Cate Barr Postcards from Home was an initiative where students and staff around the Geelong College campuses could connect via an online postcard during isolation. After receiving almost 200 postcards from around the school, I put up boards at both Middle School and Senior School to showcase the creative stories. I am very pleased to say that the postcards have now gone online.

Every day in lockdown felt like a day when we needed to stop and ask our friends and colleagues: Are you ok? September 10 as the official RUOK Day was recognised across the College. Campbell House organised their own 'Random Acts of Kindness Day'. The children were busy discussing what it meant to be kind and shared their random acts of kindness through videos and images on their online Seesaw accounts.

Jane Utting, Head of PE and Health writes: COVID-19, lockdown, isolation and Remote Learning have taught us the importance of our physical, mental, emotional and social health, due to experiencing first-hand the "reality" of the concepts we have focussed on in Health classes. This has strengthened the messages about self-care and help-seeking and has highlighted the importance of our Health Education curriculum as part of the wider Triple R Wellbeing Program.

Geelong College Rainbow Alliance Since its founding in the middle of 2018, the Geelong College Rainbow Alliance (GCRA) has strived to create an open and inclusive environment for its members, aiming to foster such an environment and extend it to the wider College community. While our central focus is upon creating greater opportunity and feelings of involvement for our school's LGBTQIA+ students, our ideals extend much further than that, aligning with the College's values of Community with Diversity and ensuring that each and every member of our school's community feels valued and appreciated. Taking over from Connor McGucken at the start of this year was no easy task, but I am proud to say that even in these trying and tumultuous times, the GCRA has managed to stay committed to meeting with each other online and organising events in support of the LGBT + and College community. It was admittedly a strange feeling to be addressing a group of people over Microsoft Teams (most of whom you could not see!) but it was certainly something we got used to and grew into, as much of the College community has done with the Remote Learning model. Aside from the digital leap, the GCRA has been involved in multiple events this year in support of the LGBT + community, attempting to create new and imaginative ways to promote greater awareness and acceptance within the school community. This has importantly included flying the rainbow flag on our very own flagpole in Helicon Place to celebrate Pride Week in June, a clear visual symbol of how far our community has come in accepting those from diverse sexual orientations. Another moment we have cherished is sending out care packages to all of our members with a letter of appreciation and multiple LGBT + stickers to remind them of our support during this difficult time.

IS LOVE THE GEELONG COL LEGE IS PROUD TO CELEBRATE PRIDE MONTH, JUNE 2020

Wear It Purple Day (WIPD) was celebrated quite differently this year, with members encouraged to wear purple items of clothing and use the WIPD Teams background in their classes and during our fortnightly meeting, which was a fun and engaging way to celebrate one of the most important events on the LGBT + calendar. Being the chairperson of the GCRA this year has been an absolute pleasure, as it has given me the chance to work with some incredible individuals who have shown me that the future holds great promise for an open and welcoming world, filled with people who respect and appreciate those around them. I encourage all in the College community to go out into the world with these values in mind, and to above all respect the people you meet simply for who they are, not what their predispositions may be. I look forward to seeing how this group blossoms and expands over the coming years, and have hope for even greater acceptance of all members of the College community in the years to come. Lachlan Houen

Indigenous Student Support The Geelong College was founded in 1861, the same year as the remaining members of the local Wadawurrung tribe were forced onto a reserve at Ghazeepore Road on the outskirts of the new town ofGeelong. The land that the Senior School was built on is said to have been powerful to the Wadawurrung people as it is high on a hill and before colonisation and suburbia, both the bay and the river could be seen clearly, making it a good vantage point.

As I set about organising this, hearing about the events and stories of parents, grandparents, great grandparents and further, I realised my original plan would not give enough time and space, or do justice to such rich and important history. I felt like I needed a whole separate Pegasus to fit it all in. The stories are epic, devastating, traumatic, awe inspiring, unbelievable and beautiful - all at the same time. I am committed to finishing this project before I leave this year, for Pegasus 2021.

We acknowledge that the Waduwurrung people are the Traditional Owners of these old and sacred ancestral lands. We pay respects to the Wadawurrung elders of the past, present and future. The Geelong College is a great institution of education and we acknowledge the sacrifices that were made for this school that has educated so many. We are committed to the inclusion and education of Indigenous Australian students .

When I leave the College this December, I will miss the students whom I support. I don't have children, but witnessing Gigi Hooper-Birch, Patch Grace-Long and Stephanie Williams graduate recently I think I felt what it must be like to be a proud parent. The academic rigour of the College is hard for any student to adapt to regardless of the year group in which they begin. One of the students I support once said to me: "I have learnt to get used to feeling uncomfortable at this school, but my comfort zone has grown, and I have grown, and I feel a new kind of comfortable now." To the remaining students I support, Dylan Wright in Year 4, Jayda Charles in Year 7, Ryan Fagg in Year 8, Tysha Alley in Year 9 and Jye Charles in Year 11, I say 'keep going, keep feeling the discomfort and keep growing! With the help of everyone here, especially your teachers, you will ALL get there.' It is in travelling along the hardest roads that we grow the most and I feel privileged to have witnessed the journeys of these students on this road.

As the first runner, it is time for me to pass the baton on as the Indigenous Student Support Teacher here at The Geelong College. When I began in 2018, I saw great potential for growth in the Middle School and Senior School within the areas of Indigenous student support, cultural inclusion and cultural sensitivity, as well as the potential to connect the school outwardly with the local Geelong Indigenous community. Working closely with Director of Student Wellbeing, Joan Gill, we initially committed to the task of creating the school's first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Along with this came the formation of the Reconciliation Action Plan group which was comprised of a diverse array of College staff members: from bus drivers, to BOPS staff, to teachers from the Junior, Middle and Senior schools and, a grandmother of four College students, our group Indigenous mentor Edie Wright. Our meetings were always positive, productive and rich, and I often remember feeling energised by them, which is rare for school meetings! Edie helped us all to face confronting issues and obstacles that can often get pushed aside in this space. It was from this shedding of light onto the shadows that most of our work together arose. As a result, The Geelong College has come a long way in what feels like a very short 3 years. I would like to mention here that the Junior School had already done a lot of work in this area, having been a focus there for a few years before I came. Amazing!

My original plan was to write about the importance of including Aboriginal history into the broader history of Australia. I am sure many of us were only ever taught Australian colonial history from 1788 onwards at school, and this never included the experience of the Aboriginal Australians before, during and after colonisation. I know this is changing, and it is changing in this school. I thought it would be a great idea to have each of our Indigenous students write a piece about their own family histories, and each of them were very keen to share.

I would especially like to thank both Dr Miller and Joan Gill (who has been a mentor to me), for your respect, commitment to tough conversations, endless willingness to learn, desire to understand, your compassion, and your dedication to finding positive solutions. It has always been a comfort to me knowing that you both hold such great compassion for these students, and a willingness to continue to embrace cultural awareness for yourselves and the whole school. I would like to thank the family members of students, their remote communities and towns. I felt very blessed to have been so warmly welcomed into these places. These visits were imperative to building strong and trusting relationships. There is a level of respect that is given and gained when stepping into and being open to the world of Indigenous Australian culture. I hope this aspect of relationship building and onCountry cultural learning continues for all The Geelong College community. To all College staff: you are a part of these student's village and I thank all of you for the roles you have played in helping them along their paths here at The Geelong College. I will leave knowing that the current and future Indigenous students will be in safe hands and I hope to see them graduate Year 12 from afar. Jane Leyshon

Reconciliation Week This year's theme for Reconciliation Week was aptly titled 'In This Together' and despite the challenges confronting us with COVID-19, each campus celebrated the week with their own rich and distinctive virtual assemblies. Preceded by National Sorry Day on 26 May, National Reconciliation Week is bookended by two key events in Australia's history, which provide strong symbols for reconciliation: 27 May 1967 - the referendum that saw more than 90 per cent of Australians vote to give the Australian Government power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and recognise them in the census. 3 June 1992 - the Australian High Court delivered the Mabo decision, which recognised that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a special relationship with the land. This paved the way for land rights or Native Title. Celebrating Reconciliation Week is a key action in our Reconciliation Action Plan. It provides us with an opportunity for staff and students to learn more about our shared histories, cultures and achievements. The children in Early Learning made their own necklaces using natural materials in the traditional Aboriginal colours and along with all of Junior school, watched a video ofWadawurrung Traditional Owner Corrina Eccles who explained The Story ofYaluk, the Barwon River with its richness, beauty and resourcefulness in sustaining their traditional way of life. The children are extremely fortunate to be guided by Corrina in caring for country. Head of Middle School, Mrs Leanne Russell coordinated a very moving assembly including her beautiful narration of the story book Stolen Girl which tells the story of a young Aboriginal girl's experience as a member of the stolen generation. A highlight of the Senior School presentation was a video made by Year 12 student and prefect Stephanie Williams who took us back to the Darwin region and the Gulumoerrgin

(Larrakia) language group via a video she recorded showing us its sheer beauty but a place she described as "a place without empowerment..." with children "who can't speak the words when I am older I want to be ... " A feature of all three assemblies was Year 4 Indigenous student Dylan Wright's beautifully delivered Acknowledgement of Country. Joan Gill, Director Student Wellbeing - Programs

Coming into 2020, we didn't realise what was ahead ofus, a unique year full of challenges we have never confronted as a House. This year has certainly tested us all, and we have learnt to be resilient and adaptable in the circumstances we have been given, Unfortunately, this year has limited our ability to compete in many House events, however Term 1 gave us the opportunity to connect and unite as a Calvert family, In Term 1, we saw Calvert dressing up in an Australiana theme for the much-anticipated House Swimming where we managed to place 3rd overall through our fabulous all-round participation and with big thanks to our star swimmers Archie Vernon, Paddy Ryan, Alice Young, Maya Peele, Johnny Pring and our star diver, Ava Carrington. Throughout the Term, we had many smaller House events that we were able to compete in with some exciting results. Some highlights include Calvert winning 1st place for the second year in a row for softball and coming 2nd overall in House tennis. Although our sporting results weren't consistently successful over Term 1, as a House we would all agree that our teamwork, sportsmanship and determination, as well as the fun we had, really made it all worthwhile. Through doing this, we were sitting at a comfortable and impressive 3rd place in the much-admired Cronk Cup before COVID-19 hit.

As COVID-19 hit, Remote Learning started, therefore our House Assemblies became significantly different, where we approached the first ever online, virtual House Assembly. This allowed us the opportunity to come together as a House while not being in the beloved Calvert House room. We all enjoyed showing our beloved pets on the screen, as well as participating in some very entertaining Kahoots challenges and enjoying watching some musical performances from our talented team of Calvertians,

On behalf of Calvert, we would just like to thank our amazing tutors and wonderful Head of House Mr Joyce for the support and dedication they have all displayed, They have allowed Calvert to connect and stay as tightknit as possible throughout the Remote Learning period but also throughout the years we have spent in this amazing house. Special thanks to Ms Henricus, our exceptional tutor for the past four years, for being by our sides through the ups and downs. All the Year 12s are going to miss your lively spirit, warmth and guidance for many years to come. Thank you to all Calvertians for providing the Year 12s with unforgettable memories, and without you, Calvert wouldn't be the House it is, Maddie Lundy & Archie Vernon

2020 was an extremely successful year for the Coles Knights with many records being broken. Whilst most years there has been a focus on that ever so close but far away Cronk, this year Coles switched it up. Reports have stated that this year the Coles House has been, on average, cleaner each day than it has been in past years, particularly during Term 2 and the end of Term 3. Little to no rubbish has been found after school, and most importantly no leftover food scraps have been left on the floor after recess and lunch. This can only be a result of a strong pride and respect that the Coles House have for their House room and is something that all members would share an appreciation and a sense of delight towards.

On behalf of the Year 12s, we would like to acknowledge Ms Porter for being our Tutor all throughout our time at the Senior School campus, giving the latest insights into House events and most importantly caring for all students.

Despite being so far away from each other for majority of the year, Coles House managed to keep a great sense of community and the family feel as members were able to see an insight into many students lives. With the help of social media keeping us together, apps like Flipgrid allowed the House to compete and enjoy little challenges every couple of weeks such as Jokes and Puns, Coin Catching, Classic Catches, Trick Shots and video messages for RUOK day. These short clips not only allowed students to connect in more ways with the years above and below, but also allowed for the House spirit of competition and enjoyment to return. It allowed for important messages to be said, as well as having fun and minimising emails.

Olivia Richardson & Tom Forshaw

Along with the new Year 9 students, Coles was fortunate enough to have new staff members join the Coles House, welcoming Mr Fairlie, Mrs Sinnott and Miss Munro to the mighty Coles Knights. With the further support of Mr Bell, Ms Read, Mrs Porter and Mr Cook, a truly challenging year has been made significantly less difficult due to an undying amount of support and comfort.

Lastly, we would like to thank our Head of House, Mr Cook. Constantly thinking of ways to not only improve the House but improve the learning and wellbeing of the Coles Knights, 'Cookie' has always been a truly dedicated, fair and passionate leader. We cannot thank all the teachers enough for their support this year.

While this year wasn't the one we hoped for, Keith House was able to still enjoy a magnificent year both at school and at home. Not knowing what was to come, we started the year on a happy note. We played House softball, cricket and badminton, and a half-finished debating competition. The Keithians involved put up a good fight, with the Cronk not too far out of reach. We turned our attention to House Swimming, bringing a cocktail party to the pool. While we didn't place too high at the end of the day, we were surely best dressed and took out House chants, with an interpretation of the GWS Giants theme song ... a crowd pleaser.

We had a special shout-out from the hilarious Hamish Blake, who is now an honorary Keith member. Expressing his support through these tough times, his appearance definitely lifted our Keith spirit and pushed us through the first lockdown.

Even though Keith wasn't able to flaunt prowess in House activities, we certainly looked promising and would've been in the box seat for the Cronk to return back to where it belongs ... the mighty Greens.

All the VCE students had it tough this year, having to put normal school on pause and to get through the hardships of student responsibilities when studying and contributing to the school environment. It's great to see the vibe has been maintained, despite the ongoing changes they experienced in each class.

Suddenly, COVID-19 happened, and we switched from the classroom to our living room, as we embarked on the Remote Learning journey. This ended up happening twice this year, but the Keith spirit lived on through regular catch-ups online with our Housemates, introducing innovative and unique ways to connect.

Throughout this year, each year group showed resilience and integrity when thrown into online learning. Even though we couldn't see each other face-to-face, Keith love was palpable in all our tutorials and House catch-ups. We were restricted in doing the usual House activities such as trivia and House lunches, but we were able to express our Keith love through our screens in House assemblies and Keith Kahoots.

We welcomed twenty new Year 9s this year. Even though 2020 was filled with unexpected challenges, the Year 9s prospered and showed true Keith spirit. Coming to Senior School is already difficult, but the extended complications of this year limited their ability to connect with their new campus and House mates. Despite the circumstances, these new Keithians have been brilliant in adapting to their next step at College.

Thank you to Mr Hodge for the incredible year and the tireless work he puts in to make Keith the best House in the school. We can't forget the reliable and helpful tutors; Mr Kovacev, Ms Pelletier, Mrs Treadwell and our wonderful additions; Mr Dawson, Mr Morgan and Mrs Barnes. Without all these mentors checking in on our progress from home and at school, this year would've been difficult for all Keith students. Most of all, thank you to all the Keith students who have stayed positive and hardworking. Walking into Keith house and seeing everyone's friendly faces always keeps us motivated. We know that next year and the years to come will be the best for Keith.

This was definitely not the year McArthur had intended it to be, but we certainly made the best of it. It was encouraging to see the way in which both students and tutors were able to adapt and offer a range of innovative and fun ways to communicate across the cyber networks. With the highest rates of signins before 9am for all the Houses in Remote Learning, the McArthur Early Risers were always up bright and early, ready to start the day. Online learning was a challenge at first, but we stayed strong and made the best of what we had. Every second Thursday, we were able to see the smiling faces of our House through a screen. McArthur's House Assemblies, although online, did not stop us from performing our musical talents, with Georgia and Hannah Phung, Emmy Bowyer, Josh Newtown rock 'n' rolling, and Dominic Bongiorno creating a vibrant sound through our computer speakers to light up our day. Georgia's performance on the bagpipes was perhaps a highlight of our Remote Music. Although we could not perform at House Music we sure would have given it a red hot go. It was great to see our House Prefects also getting involved creating a range of activities online.

This year, McArthur and Morrison united to raise money towards flowers for our local nursing home, Brentwood Aged Care. We sourced our flowers from Jacinta's Flower Studio in East Geelong to support a local business in these harsh economic times. McArthur and Morrison raised over $700 and we were able to buy 80 bunches offlowers for the 80 residents. All the Prefects and Tutors were so pleased to see how McArthur embraced this cause; it was wonderful to see us all band together in order to see our goals turn into reality. With all our generous contributions we were able to bring many smiles to nursing home residents who were not allowed to see their family members for weeks.

Our House sport this year was limited in what we got to achieve although we made the most of the sports in which we did participate. It was wonderful to get one of the major House events in, taking 5th place in swimming with some wonderful personal achievements from Charlie Rahdon. We saw the boys take home the House Cricket competition once again with a dominant display while the girls rocked the field taking 4th in Softball. Overall, it was such a joy to see the McArthur House spirit, which is such an integral part of the House, on show in the House events. 2020 has been a different year, but we came through it together, more resolute and appreciative of school and the common bonds of friendships that tie us together.

To say this has been a unique year is probably an understatement. For McLean, however, it has not changed our ability as a House to work together and stay connected with one another. Under the new leadership of Mr. Blanchfield, we prefects have been very proud of the way McLean has handled the more than unusual circumstances of 2020. After our strong performances in the House events of Term 1, everyone was determined to participate at their optimum level and the leadership team could not have been more pleased due to the tenacity and commitment shown by McLean. Furthermore, we enjoyed several House lunches which allowed Year 12s to connect with their Year 9 buddies and other fellow McLeanians, aiding in our forming of connections to strengthen us as an entire House. Despite the drawbacks of online learning resulting in being unable to participate in the anticipated House events and exciting opportunities Senior School has to offer, McLean has maintained a strong sense of House spirit throughout. Even remembering back to our roaring House swimming chant and respectable positioning in that event (let's just say not quite 1st), the inclusiveness and strength of McLean has been very impressive throughout the year, with many awesome people working together to continue this sense of camaraderie.

With the magnificent conduct upheld by our wonderful year level tutors, nearly everyone has attended tutorials every week over the on line learning period. This includes the encouragement of Ms Langley and Ms Mahoney for the Year 9s, Mr Greg Smith for the Year 10s, Mr Conway for the Year 1 ls, and Mr Al Smith and Ms Henning for us lucky Year 12s. The support they have provided for their respective year levels has been invaluable, providing each student in Mclean with a chance to

catch up and reinforce that Mclean spirit. With this, our amazing prefects have also jumped on with each year level's 'tutes', providing a fun quiz or Kahoot to break up the monotony of each week, and just catching up with the younger students. In addition, the live and pre-recorded House meetings held by prefects have been insightful and full of support for all students within Mclean, illustrating the cohesiveness and inclusiveness portrayed by every student in our amazing house. The support of the younger students for Year 12s has also been deeply appreciated, with messages from each year level expressing their support for us through this tough final year of school. We would've won the Cronk this year, but due to these unforeseen circumstances it was not to be. Nonetheless, we and the rest of the prefect team have been amazed at McLean's constant connection and support. A massive thank you to all the tutors, our prefects; Baxter, Niamh, Soph, Jess and Noah, Mr Blanchfield, and finally every single student in Mclean for making this year, despite its disadvantages, one of the best.

Despite there being no House Athletics this year, Morrison House still faced some hurdles. The race of the year started out strong, with Morrison House eager and excited to participate in House badminton, tennis, cricket and swimming, Our summer House sport teams showed off a lot of talent and we were all excited to see how we would fare in the race for the Cronk, However, as the year took an unexpected turn with the introduction of on line learning, we found our motivation and spirits dwindle, Luckily, we had our Head of House, Ms Hynes, whose positive and exuberant nature managed to make our online House assemblies exciting and enjoyable. Through coin flipping competitions with the Star Sabary brothers, to 'Which Tute Group Can Get The Most Exercise Minutes' competition, and a 'Show and Tell' with our pets, we were able to carry on the Morrie spirit we experienced in the House room at the beginning of the year to everyone at home, as well as rekindle our competitive sides. In the midst of this challenging year, Morrison displayed a great deal of empathy to our wider community, teaming up with McArthur to raise money for flowers for a local nursing home, Brentwood Aged Care. Showing consideration for the 80 residents of Brentwood, who had not been able to see their friends and family for weeks, Morrison and McArthur raised over $700 for flowers. This was a tremendous effort and these generous contributions by many enabled us to buy 80 bunches of flowers, one for each resident, signifying that our thoughts, well wishes and love was being sent to them. We are so proud of what Morrison was able to achieve, and the unity and support shown despite this year's restrictions was so wonderful and rewarding to see,

As for the Year 12s, despite COVID restrictions and online learning being a dampener on what is supposed to be one of the best years of our lives, we have endeavoured to make the best of the situation. Our tutor Ms Jackman and Head of House Ms Hynes gave us immense support and empathy which was extremely refreshing and motivating, Our remote tutorials and House meetings were always enjoyable and distracting from the stresses of Year 12. We really enjoyed the last few weeks back at school and celebrated being with our friends and peers one last time before our exams, after working incredibly hard this year, To even make it this far after everything this year has thrown at us has been commendable for all, and we are sure everyone will celebrate accordingly together. This year Morrison House showed a great deal of patience, solidarity and resilience. On behalf of the House, we thank the Morrison tutors for all their kindness, generosity of time and positivity in their support of students this year, it was appreciated by all and made this challenging year a much more positive experience.

Driven by the vision of Mrs Smith, Shannon once again set out in the hope of attaining the Cronk title for the third consecutive year. With 2020 throwing numerous curve balls, our hope of a hat-trick has been postponed until 2021. There have still been many achievements for Shannon House. In early February, we began our usual Valentine's Day fund raiser. With flowers, chocolates and lollipops all available to be shared between lovers, friends, teachers, or the aspiring romantics, the fund raiser was a huge success. In total, Shannon collectively managed to raise over $1500. A tremendous effort and one all members of the House should feel proud of. One of the few events to take place, House tennis, proved to be positive for Shannon. Some fresh and emerging talent with the likes of Lachie Bliss and Henry Collins competed strongly in the juniors. Veterans Juliette Sillitoe, Lily Consedine and Lucy Greene, along with newcomer Luis Sala, all performed well in the seniors. Soon after came House swimming, the first major House event of the year. Dressed in the theme 'business up top, party down low', Shannon made a valiant effort with every race filled. Our House tradition of putting up your hand and giving it a go was in full force with almost every member, swimmer or not, participating. We finished up with multiple names in the Age Champion lists, including Year 12s Jaden Pawsey and Olivia Mathias, and young guns Jade McQuillan, Minnie Vorrath and Daisy Page who made a clean sweep of the Year 10 girls' champions.

With the spread of coronavirus across the world, Shannon was forced to adopt a Remote Learning approach, something that had never been experienced before. As a consequence, House events from March onwards were called off, but that did not stop Shannon. Tutorials were transformed into themes, changing on a weekly basis. Notably the Year 12s showcased their beloved pets and learned 'The Cup Song', while the Year 10s dressed in their most desired holiday destination attire. Year 1 ls held a bake-off competition and Year 9s showcased their special talents, including a wonderful dance performance by Georgie Corner. A huge thank you to all the tutors for their work and support across the year and with these events: Ms Sampson, Ms Yee and Mr Smith (Year 9), Mrs Filling and Mr Hunt (Year 10), Madame Chabant (Year 11) and Mrs Watson (Year 12). Sadly, Shannon missed out on a number of House events. We would have liked to have been able to defend our titles in crosscountry, music, football, basketball and junior netball from last year. We, together with the 2020 Year 12 Shannon group, have confidence in the year groups to follow us and wish them many years of success to come. For the class of 2020, and those with whom we had the privilege of sharing it with in Shannon, this year was far from what anyone could have predicted. The memories that Year 12 groups make, unfortunately, are very different for us with much of what we all expected would occur in Year 12 cancelled. The Year 12 formal, numerous themed House events and time on campus have all been restricted. Despite 2020 being no ordinary year, we are so grateful to have spent our time at Senior School in Shannon, a House that has felt like a second home for many years. Annabel Coutts & Samuel Rowbottom

While 2020 didn't turn out to be anything like what we were all expecting, these difficult times weren't able to dampen the Wettenhall spirit! So, let's rewind back to the good old, preCOVID days. Wettenhall started off the year with a bang with the girls softball team pulling through with a win and making it to the semi- final, The boys enjoyed a cricket outing and then there was the massive success ofWettenhall's House Swimming win! After a nail-biting, adrenaline-fuelled 'tradie-themed' day of swimming and diving, our hard work paid off. The new Year 9s made a great contribution with Evie Robinson, Miles Gray and Sam Thompson all represented in the age championships. Our seasoned competitors Lucie Thompson, Cassidy Bradshaw and Jasper Atkinson also impressed. The cheers and screams of utter excitement filled the Rolland Centre. For the first time ever, Wettenhall was on top of the Cronk! You'd never seen 76 more inspired young faces; all eager to be the first year ofWettenhallians to win the Cronk. Unfortunately, that is where the House competition ended, Remote Learning may have been hard, but it only proved to strengthen Wettenhall's sense of community. We met up regularly for tutorials, House meetings and show and tell, We shared special iso-skills and met everyone's pets including cats, dogs, horses and even a lamb. Ms Hallows isolated in the House room, and made some surprise appearances, appropriately accompanied by the pop ballad classic, 'All By Myself', with a plethora of yellow-themed stuffed animals and pillows to keep her company. While we may not have been able to celebrate iso-birthdays in the Houseroom all together, our prefects made sure to send everyone a personal birthday greeting on their special day. We may not have physically been able to spend this entire year together, but the Wettenhall 2020 cohort banded together and wholeheartedly expressed the values that Wettenhall believes in,

With help from the most dedicated and adaptable team of tutors; Mr Tigani, Ms Utting, Mme Tymms, Mr Robbins, Ms Browne, and Mr Donovan, and complemented by the exuberant Ms Hallows, Wettenhall was able to finish the year off, strongly. From the 2020 Year 12s, to the 9s, 10s, and 1 ls; well done! We are all so proud of everybody's achievements this year, and we can't wait to see you all again in the future.

This year has certainly been an unusual one, especially for all the new members of Mackie. In previous years, the typical boarding experience would involve Sunday outings, annual formals, Friday night footy and BBQs, and the general vibe of living in a House with essentially 50 brothers, as well as the 50 sisters over in Mossgiel. This year; however, has been full of trials and tribulations associated with COVID-19 and each of its lockdowns. We've missed all the amazing outings, campfires and other experiences we normally associate with each week. The boys coming in for their first year are missing some of the best parts of boarding. Despite this, we as Co-Captains are extremely proud of how the boarding community has come together to get through this tough time and supported each other in the unfamiliar environment of working from home. Firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you to all the prefects. They have done an amazingjob of being creative and organising various competitions throughout the year, be that in the Boarding House or online. Each House meeting over the course of online learning has been infused with an energy only possible from the attitudes of the Prefects running them. It was very reassuring to see the boys stay motivated despite being physically isolated during these challenging times. Everyone's involvement in the activities and competitions clearly demonstrated and also helped maintain the great sense of Mackie community. Additionally, the great influences of each and every one of our tutors has been instrumental to this sense of community. A massive thanks to Mr Flanagan, Mr Schuyler, Nick Dixon, Mr Edwards, Aaron Collins and Mr. Gilby. A special mention to Mr Cheatley, who finished up his massive 10th year in Mackie this year, and who will be sorely missed by all the boys as one of the greats. We can't forget Ms Jeffreys, possibly the greatest influence on us, always the mother to all ofus and our antics.

2020 has certainly been challenging to all students, with term dates chopping and changing and portions of each term essentially being removed, at least in the eyes of the boarders. Nevertheless, everyone in the Boarding House has stayed supportive of each other through this difficult year, and we Year 12s feel especially grateful towards every other year level and the tutors who have given us this support throughout this time. The Boarding House is one of the most enjoyable things about our school life, and that did not stop while it was nearly empty. While the year of2020 will never be forgotten as one of the most difficult schooling years, Mackie has remained a constant for all the boys and has been the best source of support we could hope for. Thanks to everyone in Mackie for making this such a special year, with many, many more to come. Michael Pan & Lachy Bowker

A shared experience of boarding is learning to adapt. It has unique challenges. You learn from your peers and adapt to a routine. Many say that in order to grow as a person you need to step out of what you are familiar with. This builds the ability to adapt to changing environments. This year, boarding had a big unexpected change and with confidence I can say that the Mossgiel boarders adapted to this with great resilience. In late March COVID-19 meant we had to say goodbye. The boarders left with hopeful goodbyes, not knowing that the anticipated happy arrival back to school would be delayed for months. We became attached to our laptops to stay connected and interact with others, and it was tiring looking into a computer screen all day. We still wanted to maintain our boarding connection, so Mrs. Knight organised a meeting once a week on a Teams' call. This allowed boarders the opportunity to see friends and boarding staff and to keep those relationships that had been built and established. We resumed in May with restrictions. These included air hugs and elbow kisses, enjoying face-to-face learning in the company of others again, daily temperature checks, minimal room visits as well as rigorous hand sanitising. It was an unfamiliar routine to adapt to in our once familiar environment. During this time our only outing was exercise for one hour. The fitness of the students and staff in Mossgiel improved immensely, running and walking every day and keeping a log of distances covered in a book cleverly named 'Our COVID Ks'. Unfortunately, this was a short-lived time as the restrictions returned in Term 3. This time a small group of boarders who could not return home stayed. 'The 7 in Unit 7' became a closeknit group. I felt like a big sister teaching younger girls how to box, doing workouts together, watching Netflix and playing Uno. We shared cosy nights near the fire with toasted marshmallows, kangaroo and damper to remind myself ofmy home in the Northern Territory.

Our boarding staff have shown great empathy, giving constant positive reinforcement to all. Thank you to our prefects Liv Howie, Astrid Crtalic, Lily Weingott and Bella Miller for still designing our Mossgieljumper despite the challenge ofCOVID. Thank you to all of our Year 12 girls for persevering and being strong this year; you demonstrated leadership and still had enough compassion to help others around you. Thank you to our matron Penny for all her hard work, care for each boarder, for being a smile when arriving back from school, and the wonderful afternoon teas. A huge thank you to Mrs. Knight for being the supportive Head of Mossgiel she is; caring so much for all the boarders and always having the best interests of everyone at heart. Being a member of Mossgiel for three years has been a great experience, full of all its challenges, but rewarding. I have met girls from around Australia and the world, have made wonderful friends and learnt their stories, shared tears, hugs, laughs and good banter. The Mossgiel boarding house has been a blessing and one to never forget. Stephanie Williams

Debating The Debating Season in 2020 has been one like no other before it. All former expectations of what constitutes debating were subverted as we switched to an online format, competing against teams from all over the state in enriching and vigorous debates. While this year has certainly posed many challenges to our debaters, we are proud to have seen them rise above them and flourish like never before. Before the coronavirus had sown its seeds this year, we were set to have one of the most successful years ever in terms of participation. The College boasted multiple teams in almost every year level, each comprising of eager, learned young individuals with a passion for argument and oration. Of course, as so often was the case this year, things did not go to plan and we found ourselves with fifteen students across three teams in the A, B and D grade divisions. These students faced their Zoom debates with grace and poise, and should be commended for their unwavering dedication to and love of debating. Under the enthusiastic guidance and unquestionable proficiencies of Ms Green and Ms Mahoney, our three teams found themselves continually debating with elegance and expertise, grappling with engaging and at times sophisticated topics. Not only did our debaters prepare powerful arguments for their sides, they listened and responded to the arguments put forth by their oppositions, one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of the debating experience. The topics and issues our teams tackled this year came from a wide range of principled and empirical areas, varying from the idea of embracing a cashless economy at Year 9, to banning Climate Change denial at Year 11, and the concept of freedom of speech in the arts industry ata Year 12 level. Regardless of the topics, these debates ultimately led to our debaters not only furthering their confidence in public speaking abilities, but ensuring they continue to develop as well-rounded individuals.

D Grade had what could only be described as a remarkable season, powering through all four of their round debates with ease before charging through the finals series to confidently claim their place in the Grand Final. Congratulations must be given to this superstar team of Edwina Royce, Agnes Ambrose, Georgia Phung and Hannah Phung, with Hannah also to be lauded for winning the Swannie award for the Thursday night region of the DAV Competition; a fine string to add to her bow. The same could be said for the B Grade team, who won all three of their debates in the season before unfortunately falling short in their Octo-Final debate against Melbourne Grammar on the concept of democracy. Nonetheless, the team of Archer Drummond, Alex James, Ella Alexander, Sarah Solly, Josie Horne and James Afford should be commended for their hard work and achievements throughout the year, as reaching the finals for debating is no mean feat.

While our A Grade season did not go as we had wanted it to, the bonds that our team developed over the season cannot be understated. Ordinarily, an A grade team would have been debating together since Year 9, and while this has not been the case for our group, it certainly did not take away from the connections we had as a team, allowing us to thrive in the group settings of debating. We could not have been more proud of how our team worked together this year, and want to thank Lauren McClelland, Henry Rodda and Liza Saverchenko for sticking by us this year in spite of the overwhelming experiences of completing Year 12 in the middle of a pandemic. Not only did we get to compete in the DAV season this year, we also got the chance to debate against our cross-town rivals Geelong Grammar in a lively online debate on the merits of reintroducing a carbon pricing scheme in Australia. Thank you, and we thoroughly look forward to seeing where you take your debating skillset into the future. Continuing with the theme of unusual experiences this year, DAV decided to run their annual public speaking competition virtually, which captivated the interests of 13 of our students who wrote and delivered exceptional speeches on their respective issues. Molly Harris and Agnes Ambrose are to be praised for progressing to the finals of this competition, with Agnes Ambrose ultimately coming second overall, a huge achievement indeed! Congratulations again to all debaters who were awarded Best Speaker throughout the season: Agnes Ambrose, Hannah Phung, James Afford and Lachlan Houen. Finally, we acknowledge the many, many years of service as Debating TiC that Ms Mahoney has given our activity. Her wise words, capacity to understand complex arguments and assist us with our technique have been truly appreciated. Luckily, she continues to support debating but gets to have a break from the associated administration. We have relished our time as co-debating captains this year, and with the support of Ms Green (TiC} and Ms Mahoney we have managed to make the 2020 debating season the best it could possibly be. Good luck to all of you next year, we look forward to seeing how the College debating legacy lives on. Lachlan Houen & Jonathan Hanson, Co-Debating Captains

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown what a confident, calm and collective community The Geelong College is. While we recognise that the teaching and learning has been anything but normal across a significant part of the school year, it is important to celebrate how ably teachers, students and families adjusted to the challenges presented. We were all thrown into an extraordinary social and educational experiment with little warning, but great expectation. We learned a great deal very quickly. Our first lesson was that you cannot replicate a physical classroom online. We had to adapt to the virtual classroom and the conference call. Teachers had to rethink their content and delivery, constantly questioning: What was going to be enough? Am I expecting too much or too little? How might I best engage the children and embed the learning that needs to occur? What do I need to communicate to the students, and to their families? We missed the personal connection and unplanned interactions that occur in a teaching day and these elements are invaluable for gauging a student's academic and emotional wellbeing. Fortunately, the positive relationships formed in the first term of the school year ensured that we maintained trust and understanding, even ifit was through the computer screen. The temptation when reflecting on 2020 is to reflect what has not happened this year, what we haven't achieved due to this extraordinary interruption to our lives. Camps and excursions, the Winter sports season, music and drama performances, parent evenings and social events were all dearly missed. But through this crisis so much has been reimagined and we found new, and in some instances, perhaps better ways to do things. The convenience of'Teams' parent teacher learning conferences, the use of video to deliver concepts or instruction, embracing our learning support system SEQ TA as a vehicle for student and parent feedback, information sharing through virtual parent evenings, and the celebration of student's unique talents and achievements via Middle School online assemblies are all examples of this.

Some children have shone through this experience, finding their voice and rhythm on line and without the distraction of their peers, achieved a great deal. Others have missed the connectedness that onsite learning and being a part of a community brings.

The importance of the relationship between teacher and families has never been so amplified; home schooling was truly a team effort between the child, teacher, and parents. I am so grateful for the diligence and hard work of every Middle School staff member this year. I am also grateful for the trust and support families showed us during this time of great uncertainty. As I write this piece, we are about to embark on face to face teaching again in Term 4. I look forward to ending the year positively and finding ways to celebrate the remarkable journey that 2020 has been.

Looking back on the 2020 academic year, I realised that for the first time in our school's history, both teachers and students found themselves standing side by side as learners. Powerful learning took place during the COVID-19 lockdowns and I'll admit it, for that reason alone, I liked remote learning. The Middle School has always promoted a culture of innovation and change, normally spearheaded by staff, but this time, we accelerated our acquisition of skills and methodology at the same time as we taught it to our students. We became collaborators in the reimagining of our entire curriculum and social interaction. Technology, apps and software that had been sitting in the background, waiting for a gentle roll-out were suddenly thrust into the spotlight. It wasn't just a matter of learning how to video conference; we had to take our entire learning program and modify it to allow for on line delivery and feedback. We were lucky that SEQTA, with all its possibilities, had been introduced, but entire units of work built around immersive experiences like excursions, required a rethink. Staff, students and programs adapted and changed and when the Middle School reached out, they found a community ready and willing to collaborate.

Years 7 and 8 Electives students had online conversations and workshops with Geelong's Crime Scene Detectives and Deakin University architects. Learners immersed themselves in the Torres Strait Island's music and dance via a webinar and the Year 6 students and staff continued their annual 'space' tradition by dressing up as aliens for a day on screen. The relationship being fostered with the Geelong Tech School took giant steps forward as students and staff tapped into the on line (and eventually onsite) STEM experiences on offer and parents teamed up with students to develop their genuinely inspiring enviro and building projects in Years 4 and 5. It's easy to think of 2020 as a year that never really gained momentum, but looking at it through a different lens it's obvious to me that the last twelve months have seen unparalleled change and development, and we stand to benefit from the advances made for years to come. As I write this, I can hear the students outside my office getting ready to go home. That familiar sound is back and whilst the residue of Remote Learning and the ongoing restrictions is still evident in everything we do, it's nice to be back.

Year 8; the final year of Middle School education at The Geelong College is one rich with learning experiences and opportunities. It is a time of consolidation and exploration where students are encouraged to excel both in and out of the classroom. The year began with the Triple R Retreat; redesigned to challenge our students' thinking on a variety of topics. The girls participated in workshops with a focus on peer pressure, self-confidence and respect, whilst the boys focussed on masculinity and were challenged to discuss the issue of mob mentality and their use of social media. Roller skating, Rock climbing and Ten Pin Bowling provided further opportunities to cement relationships with peers and Learning Mentors in their new homerooms.

For some, the experience supported new routines and improved their study skills which will, no doubt, help as they approach their senior years of education. 2020, a year like no other, has tested each and every one of us, but particularly the students as their world was turned upside down. The Year Bs as individuals and as a cohort have shown great perseverance and resilience in their final year at Middle School.

With great excitement, the Year Bs began new electives and found their hidden passions in race car design, rock pool organisms, yoga and mindfulness, street art, sports science and cooking. The Year 8 spaces, with the extensive breakout spaces provided new opportunities for learning, with spaces for individuals and groups to interact and work together in their range of academic studies. Many of the Year Bs were privileged to take on positions of responsibility as leaders of their House or SRC. Those without a formal title were encouraged to step up and lead the Middle School students as role models in their day-to-day interactions. As COVID-19 hit our shores and Remote Learning began, the Year Bs had to reinvent their approaches. The MasterChef challenge, trick shot videos and poetry performances became highlights of Microsoft Team Assemblies and provided a way for students to connect with one another. The annual Cre8 Project posed new challenges as students navigated restrictions to ensure they could gain new skills and understanding from their Project Advisors during lockdowns. The wonderful and varied projects were testament to the students' persistence and creativity. Parents and the wider community were able to celebrate the Expo in a virtual manner, as restrictions limited the traditional celebration. Students approached Remote Learning with a 'can do' attitude, signing into classes on Teams, collaborating in break-out channels, completing assessments online and working together with their Mentors to focus on Wellbeing.

'Connection' "In a world of algorithms, hashtags and followers, it is important to know the true importance of human connection." Teachers have long understood the need for a connected school environment, both in terms ofincreasing the likelihood of academic success and in reducing health compromising behaviours. 2020 provided an experience that further catapulted into our psyche, the absolute necessity for students to feel connected. Despite the significant challenges this year, staff continued to offer a rich, vibrant curriculum that accommodated high academic standards and strong teacher support. Students displayed resilience, open mindedness and a willingness to engage. Staff and students alike, should feel immeasurable pride in what they have been able to achieve during 2020. Homerooms created an environment where all students were welcomed, supported and included. 7B elected to engage in "Minute to win it" type activities. 7C shared with each other daily "Did you know" facts. 7D celebrated student engagement through Kahoots, whilst Music was the key to inclusion in 7E, where Mr Ebeling created a "Guess that tune" focus during Remote Learning 2. It was satisfying to witness homerooms participating in "dress up days" and "bring your pet to school days" during Remote Learning 1.

The pastoral focus of checking in with students found feature in "Smiles and Frowns". This was an opportunity to foster a deeper understanding of each other whilst also allowing celebration of differences within the cohort. The importance of cross-homeroom connections found great favour in football tipping competitions as evidenced in 7A and 7B. Drama also offered an opportunity to challenge each other in a dance related competition. The focus of gratitude in 7F facilitated a deeper appreciation of the need to, and value in connecting and the Boats Unit in Term 4 further cemented the opportunity for connection in a cross-homeroom capacity. Student voice was an essential element of 2020 and a randomly selected group of students met regularly with Dr Peter Miller to discuss their experiences of Remote Learning. This information further informed staff and guided practices and processes. A feature of the Physical Education program also facilitated student interviews with reflection on experiences and goal setting to better care for themselves during the challenging times of Terms 2 and 3. The cancellation of events, whereby students would naturally experience a sense of connection, was both a source of frustration and sadness. The loss of these experiences and the taste of others, has however, whet student's appetites for what is still to come and what the journey into Year 8 holds. We take with us a deeper appreciation of the need to connect and a stronger value of what connection provides. Year 7, 2020 is most certainly a year to remember.

their texts. These authors included Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Dr Seuss and Jules Verne. The experience of investigation has prompted many wonderful learning opportunities to embrace classic literature. The Year 6 cohort have developed a strong connection to classroom culture and both in the classroom and through remote learning maintained high levels of engagement and connection to their teachers and peers. Completing activities like Passion Projects and The Space Unit 'Out of This World', students shared their work and responded respectfully and openly with each other about the success of each person's work.

The school year for 2020 in the Upper Primary classes will be remembered for many different things. When we reflect on the year, the major focus could be the impact of a global pandemic.however, the year of learning has been so much more. The opportunities for new ways to learn and function as students and teachers could not have been imagined earlier. Other than the subject skills we develop at school in reading, writing and mathematics, students and teachers were challenged to learn other skills in order to be a learner. Selfmotivation, punctuality and self-regulation were all behaviours and traits everyone needed to develop. It was pleasing to see all students embrace the idea of learning remotely. Remote Learning allowed students to learn new skills that will hopefully hold them in good stead as we continue to move forward into the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed teaching and learning dramatically. For many ofus, presenting and learning through a digital landscape provided challenge but also a deep sense of what it means to stay connected to our classes and peers. Teachers and students found many ways to stay in touch by having class activities, dress ups, games and other group challenges. We were however, very thankful for the fact there was time spent at school throughout the year. To see the students reconnect in person was very exciting and heartwarming. This was the silver lining to what was a school year like no other.

Throughout 2020, Year 4 students have focussed their learning around 4 major questions; How to grow a productive food garden? How are living things around us connected? How has my place changed over time? What will we do to help life on Earth? Students immersed themselves in a range of rich and engaging learning tasks through reading stories, writing and retelling perspectives from history. Over the year, Year 5 classes looked closely at a range of topics and themes. A new initiative the Year 5 teachers introduced was around Author Studies. The children had the opportunity to choose an author and look closely at how they develop

The Benefits of Teamwork Imagine your rowing crew, your netball team or your music ensemble group not working together as a team? This year in BA, we have developed effective teamwork skills to enable us to work with efficiency, co-operation, and encouragement in our learning. We have explored the role of teamwork across a range of different learning experiences, including the importance of developing these skills in our extracurricular programs such as sport, music and House events. Teamwork with teachers has helped me to boost my learning and get my ideas out there in a way that other people can understand. In my homeroom, it has helped me to become better organised for my lessons and complete tasks on time. James Wood Teamwork has played a major role in our Homeroom; we have had to be a strong team and make sure that all our peers were OK and included. Initially, it takes some time to feel comfortable, but once we got into the motion ofit, it has been great. One way has been using Breakout spaces at school, as they are a great place to share ideas and work together with friends, or to work on projects. We can mix with other Year 8 classes in Mathematics, LOT£, Physical Education and our Electives. Remote Learning has been difficult at times to complete schoolwork in isolation. We have found it helpful when teachers set up various online channels where we can work and collaborate together. Phoebe Knight & Taj Daly In our Mentor classes, we have enjoyed how we work in small groups and being able to rely on each other in activities and classwork. We were never worried about our activities because we know that we have the support of others and we can work together to complete it. Harry Day Overall, music has helped us stay connected as a team and has shown us how music can brighten your experiences. Aliriah Feldman, Olivia Wynhoven & Stella Rixon

Pets in Remote Learning I am yet to decide whether Milo and Cookie have helped or hindered me during Remote Learning, when they look at me with pleading eyes, begging for a pat or walk. Spending more time with them has been one of the highlights ofstaying at home! Abby Bowyer Having a pet at home has been very enjoyable. Although sometimes he is cheeky, he never fails to make me smile. Going on walks with Arthur is a good way to get out ofthe house; sometimes he even finishes my schoolwork for me! Blythe Nadorp-Daw Throughout COVID-19, times have changed. Remote Learning has locked us all indoors with nothing to do, but my dog Heidi couldn't be happier. With our whole family home almost all the time Heidi is never bored. Heidi helps lighten the mood. She sits with me while I do schoolwork and then after school, she runs around outside wanting us to throw a ball to her. Lachlan Mitchell Bella, my cavoodle has helped me during isolation by always wanting to play outside, go for walks or beg me for pats and sometimes follow me around the house if she wants my attention, which normally makes me laugh. I'm sure Bella has really enjoyed isolation herself as she is receiving a lot ofattention. Sara Howley Charlie, my dog, has helped comfort me. Between breaks during class I can do something with Charlie outside, which helps to clear my head. He is a dog who knows when someone is upset or stressed which really helps since he will come up to me and check if I'm ok. Dogs can really help you with stress. Daisy Bain Furnie has been helping me through isolation and Remote Learning by being eager to go for walks every lunch break and by being her crazy bubbly self. She has been helping me mentally and physically get through our global pandemic. ZaliCross Roy is a Jack Russell terrier. He helped me during Remote Learning by making heaps of noise and interrupting me during calls! Archer Brumby

Cre8 Well... if ever there was a year to keep yourself busy with a passion project, 2020 was it! With the wonderful organisation of Year 8 Co-ordinator, Georgie Rolls, supported by Year 8 mentors, and the students' own mentors, the annual Crea project and exhibition was able to go ahead in all it's glory. The outcome was a huge success with students throwing themselves into learning to cook, raising chickens, growing plants, creating beautiful drawings, paintings, costumes and photographs, turbo-boosting their bikes, building computers, welding sculptures and refurbishing broken automotives, just to name a few. It was wonderful to see their hard work on display and to hear about the challenges and successes they experienced along the way... Here are some wise words from some of our amazing Cre8ors! For my Year 8 Create I made four pairs of pyjamas, I used a sewing machine and an old pattern for the shorts and hand stitched a bow on. My idea came from previous years of Create projects because I was always so impressed with all the textile projects and I wanted to improve my basic sewing skills. It was challenging to maintain my time throughout quarantine and to keep in touch with my learning mentor while abiding by all restrictions. I loved documenting in my diary and keeping a record of the process, including mistakes and errors along the way. Create has been a great experience for all Year 8s and has trained me to be independent and organized. Sophie Roderick I've been doing a lot of cooking since the second lockdown began as there are not many things that I can do to keep me entertained. I enjoyed doing some cooking with my learning mentor, Jenny, who is a lovely old woman who likes cooking with other people. I made tremendous progress on that. The most challenging part is mainly using the oven. It can be very hard to handle. You need to make sure that it's the right temperature, otherwise you will ruin the final product that you are making, which is very sad. Bill Ding

Retreat Day In Term 1 2020, the Year 8s all went out for a Retreat Day. Class 8D went as a class and did rock climbing for an hour down at The Rock. These activities were meant to improve teamwork and how we can all work together as a class, Classmates Oli Flynn and Jack Stevens were interviewed and stated these things. Oli said, "it was a great experience, as it was something I had never done before." Jack also stated, "it was a great bonding experience and I felt like I got to know my classmates better." Overall, the Year 8 cohort enjoyed Retreat Day and it was a great experience. Sam Sinnott On Year 8 Retreat Day, the girls heard a presentation from two young women called Talia and Grace, They covered the topics of Social Media, Body image and Alcohol which was linked back to making good decisions. The talk was quite effective because since they were so young it wasn't like they were talking to us as teachers, more as friends, which really helped us to connect with them. Talia and Grace showed us a video that emphasised the fact that everything on social media is not real. You cannot believe all the images and situations that you see on social media. I really enjoyed the talk. Angelina Didulica In the first term of Year 8, during our Retreat Day, we attended a clinic held by Mr Orr which focussed on "being a man in 2020." The talk discussed how being a man is difficult in the 21st century. Mr Orr directed our focus to a 'man box' which held several key aspects that society expects men to do, such as not show weakness when they are sad or angry. These are some of the stereotypical things that men used to have to be, but now, men, in today's society, are being accepted for being more wellrounded and empathetic, Mr Orr emphasised that it's ok to be sad as a man.

Growth Mindset and Grit What a year 2020 was! During Remote Learning, the BE homeroom showed impressive grit and focused on developing a 'growth mindset' approach to challenges. Whether it was adjusting to the extra hours online, finding ways to connect with others or exercising and getting outside, our homeroom has shown that we can stay open-minded when challenges come our way, especially during isolation. Focussing on having a growth mindset encouraged us to be autonomous in our learning and led us to find different ways to connect both with our teachers and peers. This took self-belief and determination to stay focussed and motivated. We also learnt as a homeroom that having grit is required in order to find joy and satisfaction in learning. To have grit means to have courage and to persevere. Goal setting is also a major part of showing grit. This means trying your best, believing in yourself and never giving up; all qualities that every student in BE has tried to embody. Rather than focussing too much on the 'challenges' of the year, however, we want to look at the opportunities and skills it has brought us; it has been wonderful to be a part of BE and to connect with such a friendly and accepting group of people who all believe in each other. We have all shown that no matter what comes our way, we have the strength to overcome future obstacles. Alice Kennedy "Challenges test our boundaries and allow us to see how capable we are ofcompleting something" Molly Pring "Challenges help me to change my mindset or thinking when I do it again next time" Poppy Flanagan "Having a growth mindset helps us learn new things and develop our thinking" Toby Alexander "Facing challenges gives us lessons about what we should and should not do in the future" Awa is Saleem "Obstacles put us in situations that we may not have thought we would encounter. We then learn from them so that next time we will be prepared for them" Zephyr Seignior

Building Relationships with Classroom Check-ins In 8F Smiles and Frowns was our whole class check-in at the start of every English lesson which we all enjoyed. We went around the class and everyone said something that had made them smile or frown and there was also an option to pass. During Remote Learning we did Smiles and Frowns by having a shared document in which we shared our smile, frown or pass and then talked about them as a class. During Smiles and Frowns people shared their interests and hobbies, what exercise they did, pets, sporting teams they barrack for, successes, failures, how they were feeling, what they were looking forward to and what they do in their lives outside of school. Our class believes that Smiles and Frowns is beneficial because we get to learn things about people you would not otherwise learn about. We also believe that sharing details about our lives brings us closer and gives us things to talk about and build relationships outside of the classroom. The morning homeroom check-in was having a daily question posted in a shared document and we each answered it. We used it as our way to do the roll during Remote Learning and learnt an enormous amount about each other. We thought about and discussed questions such as "What is something that is guaranteed to bug you?" or "Where is the worst smelling place you've been?" or "How often do you eat yoghurt?" We found these questions to be a great way to start the day and something fun to look forward to in the morning. We talked about our responses, found commonalities with our classmates and mostly, we laughed about the variety of answers! Although it was hard to connect with each other during lock down these little things brought us together when we needed it most. Sienna McArdle & Lucy Rahdon

Sport The Geelong College has provided Year 7 students with four superb weeks of APS sport. During the challenges of 2020, students have had a unique experience in the subject of PE. Whilst in Remote Learning, students have aimed high and have worked hard to complete PE activities whilst at home and found that this was vital to maintaining a positive mindset throughout isolation. I am sure our siblings and parents appreciated the opportunity for us to blow off some steam. Although COVID-19 has affected our motivation and the way we learn, students have enjoyed doing yoga in the living room while watching TV and occasionally eating chocolate in class. Also, there was no opportunity for Mr Orr to write a note in our planners when we forgot our PE uniform, as wearing our pyjama pants, and a nice jumper seemed to be the dress code of choice. Some students who attempted to do tuckjumps in their hoodies may like to have their time again. Our older siblings who were studying for important exams will not miss the high intensity interval training taking place above their bedroom. We thank the Middle School PE staff for their innovative and positive approach to providing fun and engaging PE lessons in a year when we all benefited from getting some fresh air and maintaining a positive mindset. 'Throughout Remote Learning, PE has enhanced my motivation to learn by giving myselfa break and some fresh air outside, so I have a positive attitude towards all my classes.' Abby Fleming 'I have enjoyed Remote Learning because it gives me the chance to do things in PE that I would not be able to do at school. ' Daisy Faull

Friendship Friendship is something we can sometimes take for granted, but during Remote Learning we came to understand just how important friendship truly is. Here are some of our thoughts about friendship during Remote Learning ... 'It's great to be in a community where each person isn't necessarily your "closest friends," but everyone is still welcoming and supportive.' 'Having each other's support made a big difference during the tough times.' '/ didn't realise how important friendship was until physically being with my friends was taken away from me during Remote Learning.' 'Friendship makes me feel like I am part of a team.' 'People were welcoming when I arrived at the start of Term 3, and they checked on me to make sure I was okay. ' 'It was good to be back in Term 4 to kick the footy with my mates.' 'I felt really supported and it felt great to reconnect in Term 4.' '/ missed seeing my friends physically during Remote Learning and it felt great to enjoy each other's company again.' 'It felt great to be able to message a friend for extra help and know that we'd be there for each other.' 'The time I spent with my mates during Remote Learning, really made a difference in helping cope with the tough times.' 'We always looked out for each other in 7B. During Remote Learning we stayed connected on video games, Teams calls or going for walks or bike rides.' 'Being in the Melbourne lockdown during Remote Learning was a tough experience, but my friends kept in touch with me and I really appreciate that.' '/ couldn't imagine not being in contact with my friends; they really made a difference to how I coped during the Melbourne /ockdown.'

Drama I have really enjoyed dressing up in different costumes and pretending to be someone completely different from whom I really am. There is a sense of freedom compared to other classes and you can stop focusing on the usual things we do and have fun. I get to be more creative and I like how we get to learn in different ways in drama. In Term 1 we all got to create a short slapstick play with a group, later performing it to the class. Ms Claringbold showed us what slapstick, malapropism, farce, irony, and satire comedy was and it was so much fun. We all loved doing slapstick because it was dramatic, and we learnt many ways to perform and express comedy and had lots of fun working together and creating skits to perform. The exaggeration of facial expressions, gestures and the actions of different characters was funny to see, and we all made sure to enjoy ourselves and create an interesting, comedic scene. Red Hot Cinders was a pantomime where we had to rehearse on the computer during Remote Learning which made it a bit more difficult. We could not rehearse the actions, only voice and lines. We had to change our voice depending on the character and had to maintain that throughout the performance. Learning our lines was harder because of Remote Learning and we had to memorise our lines. In Term 3, students were asked to create a dance to a song. We had a week at school to get some ideas about musical theatre and from then on, we have been dancing online. Drama this year is all about getting to express and be yourself, laugh and smile while being surrounded by our classmates and friends. I think the class has loved drama this term and it has had us work as a team ALWAYS!!! Some good things about dancing and doing musical theatre online is that we could all do it in big spaces, and we have no other people around us which makes it easier while dancing.

Science 2020 started off like any other year but we were soon thrown many challenges and obstacles to overcome. One new experience was Remote Learning and while many subjects found the transition straight forward, practical subjects like Science had to rethink how lessons were delivered. In Term 2 a rearrangement of the order of topics enabled everyone to utilise their surroundings in the study of Astronomy - a topic that doesn't rely heavily on practical activities. Just when things were getting back to normal everyone was thrown into a second block of Remote Learning. What to do now? All remaining Science topics relied heavily on practical activities. The Science staff brainstormed ideas and converted a labbased friction investigation into a building challenge that could be completed at home. The challenge was to slow down a falling ball so that it took 10 seconds to reach the ground rather than less than one second it would take if dropped. Discussion of the forces involved, such as gravity, air-resistance and friction was required in the plan. There were no restrictions imposed other than that feet had to remain on the ground. 7D really embraced the challenge with many students spending hours over and above the class time on the project. A range of materials from blankets, pillows, egg cartons, cardboard, Lego, food containers, PVC pipes, bubble wrap, sand, cricket stumps and star pickets. The approaches varied from super-long ramps, to spikes and other barriers, to pinball like bumpers, to massive zig-zags. The assignment was a success and the Science department are thinking how a similar assignment could be used in the upcoming 'normal' 2021 school year.

Poems about Lockdown Remote Learning has been a huge part of 2020 for all Victorian students. There were many ups and downs for parents, students, and teachers as they were challenged in ways that no one could have predicted. Through resilience, growth, and determination, we helped each other to get through an unpredictable and often difficult time. This has been a period in history that we have all been a part of and that we will never forget. 7E students have tried to capture this experience through their poetry. LOCKDOWN Online, restricted, Sleeping, stressing, boring, I want it to be back to normal, Annoying. Sam Black CORONAVIRUS Coronavirus wasn't the best, It really put us to the test, Geelong was in and out oflockdown, And all that did was made us frown. Then we could go and see our friends, And that is how the story ends. Luka Didulica REMOTE-LEARNING Online, lonely. Boring, annoying, aggravating, Depriving me of my friends and social situations, Alone. Lucas Gray

2020 I hear children screaming happily. I pretend the world is normal. I understand why I can't see my family, And worry about my grandparents. I try to get better at footy. Longing for normality. Joshua Ames

BRAVE AND STRONG Brave and strong, I understand that things change. I dream ofgetting away. Willing the virus to leave, We are brave and strong. Mackenzie Brown COVID Experimenting, challenging, isolating, Giving everyone a new experience, Allowing us to prove we can do anything, Remotely yet together. Asha O'Meara SAFE BUT WORRIED Wondering how long this pandemic will last, The sound of'nothingness', Wanting to see my friends, Yet stuck on my screen ... The walls lock me in, Tears are shed for families affected, I am safe but worried. I understand the reality, Telling myself everything will be OK, I try to stay positive, Praying everyone will stay safe. Ellie Thompson

Gratitude Gratitude is often underestimated as a way in which we can enrich our lives. It is a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for the good that we experience in life. When we express gratitude, we can feel happier and calmer. Feeling grateful may have many benefits for body, mind and relationships and raise self-esteem. It can help people feel more positive emotions, deal with adversity and build strong relationships. "Shoot for the moon and if you miss, you will be among the stars." This means that you should set the bar high for yourself so you can push yourself to do the best you can possibly do. "Hard work will always beat talent if talent doesn't work hard." Just because you're not good at something now, doesn't mean you can never be. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. It doesn't matter if you are the best in the world but being humble truly counts and makes you a great human being. Sawithu Dharmasena Every language in the world has a way of saying thank you. We all should appreciate the things others do for us. So many people do amazing things for us and sometimes we don't even say thank you. We should remember to say thank you. Bronte Williams Great things often start out small. A seed grows to a sapling, a sapling into a tree, a tree into a haven for life and the starting of memories. All the great leaders of the world started out small. They have dreams that grow into visions, that grow into actions. They get encouragement from friends and family and from people they don't know. They are grateful for what they have, for what people are doing and for what they have done. Lexie Blockey Always be thankful for family, love and understanding. These traits help to represent the thankfulness and appreciation that we should all try to show each day. Whether it be having a good friend or having someone do a favour; it can be as simple as that. Expressing gratitude can foster relationships and raise confidence. EveShing

It is hard to put into words what a different year this has been. None ofus were expecting what was in store for us. We persevered, and although we weren't able to experience some big highlights like camp and excursions, I'm sure no one here could have asked for a better year. It was never going to be easy to earn the name of a director, and we could never have done it without film school. We learnt about the many techniques and ways to create short films. Over the course of Term One, we participated in a range of clinics teaching us to use cameras, music and equipment to create the best films possible.

Using tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, we were able to take our ideas to a new level and produce some amazing tutorials. Throughout the year, we faced many challenges, with home learning as one of the hardest. Even though it may have caught us off guard, we pushed on and made the most of this new learning experience. We were, however, able to continue our Out of this World Unit and TED talks, which were enjoyable and very interesting. Although our learning would have looked different in the classroom, we were still able to create and share work through our TED Story clips and participate in a virtual Space Fair.

Year 5 is all about teamwork, problem solving, helping, making, trial and error, learning new things and experiencing things you have never done before. Campbell

As an innovative year of design thinking initiatives, the Year 5 program gives students the opportunity to learn for the future.

It is really pretty interesting when you are able to take a look inside of things to see what hard effort has been put into building this... [there are] lots ofother tiny yet extremely important details. Grace

This year, students used the skills of coding, making and designing their ideas into reality as the thread that bound together their core learning in literacy and numeracy. When we were working in Scratch and Sphero, we had to figure out what degree it [the robot] had to turn. We worked on that in maths as well and it helped a lot. The thinking in maths helped my thinking in design and the thinking in design helped my thinking in maths. Quinn

Additionally, by using a sewing machine and experimenting with pattern making, our Year 5 students were able to connect their thinking in writing to real-world experience. Reading and producing written procedures for projects they undertook became a focus for many. I learned with sewing you have to sew inside out and turn it over and sew over it. I hadn't used a sewing machine before! Oscar B

Other opportunities to build connections between learning areas involved map making using MaKey MaKey, communication with MicroBit and navigation skills using Tello Drones.

Design Days On these days we are set challenge to accomplish in a few hours. Poppy

Upon our return to school-based learning, we wanted to devise a plan for optimising access to practical learning experiences in the design and make realm for our students. What resulted was the creation of intensive Design Days, which allowed students the time to focus to connect their thinking over an extended period.

Now that we are out of /ockdown, and we are back at school, we are doing whole days ofdesign. It is soooooo awesome, and the first day was a complete success. Ivy

We noticed that not only was the initiative popular, it was also extremely beneficial for skill acquisition. Students were given explicit instruction and provided with the time to sink into their learning, thus gaining a deeper level of knowledge and understanding. Challenges were often open ended and asked students to ftnd a problem, create a solution and sit in the unknown. Learning Python is really confusing and hard. Ijust get so confused. We get close so many times and we get so excited for the smallest bit ofsuccess. Cameron Design has taught me to keep going even when something is really hard. Ifyou keep going you will eventually get it. Abbie

This then also meant that students were able to collaborate with peers in a way that they sorely missed during their time apart. Overall, when we got back to school, it was very exciting that we could do Design Days and work with our friends again. In Remote Learning it was still fun, but more challenging because we couldn't collaborate with other students. Pearl

Coding Coding is super challenging. My advice is that you should start off easy, then get progressively more advanced. It is so much fun and I encourage you to try it for yourself! Aria

Coding is an important element of the designed future and for many of our students was the highlight of their 2020 experience. They explored both script and block-based code, often code-switching between the two languages during a challenge. I really like coding using script because you use it in the real world. I want to be a game designer, so I need to know this. It's hard, it's just like learning another language. Jordan

Coding involves designed solutions, debugging and systems thinking and as such, students spent much of their time considering how they would achieve a goal. This connected beautifully with the importance of planning before a writing piece or taking stock of materials before beginning a making challenge. My idea is to code it section by section. That means code one thing, then test it and code the next part. I reckon I can do this, but it will be hard. Instead ofusing the MicroBit to test it, I will make some alternative buttons, then remove them afterwards and swap them with the MicroBit. I'm really looking forward to doing this, because I have never done something as cool as this in the coding world before. Aria

Students also encountered challenges that stretched their thinking and asked them to be precise which connected well to justifying reasoning and clarity in mathematics. I'm a bit ofa perfectionist, so I couldn't just leave the Sphero going offonto the wall or out of the lines and ifit did go onto the wall, I had to recode that section. This meant that it took longer than I had hoped. Lach Ian

This year has been an adventure, and we are grateful that we have been able to share in the learning of these wonderful students as they experienced the once in a lifetime opportunity that this year presented. Thank you for all you have taught us 2020!

The Year 4 Enviro program is an academically challenging and contextually rich 'place-based' experience. Despite the challenges that 2020 presented, we felt that these students developed a very strong sense of who they are, and where they live. This was especially evident in their crossdisciplinary 'My Place Projects'. The Term 3 over-arching question, "How has My Place changed over time?" was a critical part of the year's study. The students engaged in many, or all, of the following:

River Time; Garden Time; Yam Daisy planting; the creation of a Wunderkammer; a Wadawurrung role play; the What Can I Make from Nature? challenge; sharing Wadawurrung language glossaries; Aboriginal plant use stories; the stories of William Buckley and Ross George; My Place (the book) by Nadia Wheatley; Window and Belonging by Jeannie Baker; and Tim Winton's Blueback. The 'My Place' project invited the students to choose a local place that was especially significant to them.They then chose four dates stretching over at least 200 years, invented four narrators, and wrote historical narratives to demonstrate change over time.

To support their writing, after landscape painting lessons in Art with Ms Hollander, they each created four images that improved the telling of their stories. The results were outstanding, Here is an amalgam of their written reflections:

I learnedjust how quickly change can happen. One day it's all Wadawurrung country and the next, the Europeans have taken over. I still wonder how the aboriginals learnt their ways and shared everything so well. Now, when I go to 'My Place' I will look more deeply and see things as much as the eye can see. I will remember the project and smile ... it will have a place in my heart. My Place is special because it's where I feel most like me. I am now wondering what will happen to my special place in the future. This project also taught me that you only really know a place ifyou dig deep and learn about its history.

Debating Despite the difficult times and seemingly overwhelming new experience, there was much to learn and many valuable lessons from our COVID Debating endeavour. Our debating experience in 2020 was very different from debating in all other years. Rather than being with other students in person we used Microsoft Teams and debated against other schools via a video call. For most of the debates our teams could be together in person for the video call but for the final debate we all had to log on separately. During the year our teams took part in four debates and the most difficult topic was, "That we should lift the ban on Russian athletes participating in international sporting events", Although we tried our best that was the debate that we lost. The other topics were, "That we should limit the number of cars that each household can own", "That we should embrace a cashless economy" and our final topic for the year was, "That we should ban private gun ownership". We had a week to prepare each debate and spent many lunchtimes doing so, We won all three of those debates and had a great time working together as a team, We were in teams of four and were given a week to decide our roles and write our speeches for the debates on Monday nights, Although this form of debating was strange and very different, we all enjoyed it and managed well with the strange situation, During debating 2020 since we did our debates on Teams, our opponents could not see us properly, so we wore shirts and blazers from our waists up and then pyjama pants or track pants just out of view from the camera. We had a great time despite the changes that were made and enjoyed our debating experience in 2020, Lucy Rahdon, Annabelle Hutchings

This year debating, like everything else was affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria. Debating started offjust like every other year where we would debate at Clonard, but that quickly changed when we converted to Remote Learning. We would login onto our computers and click a link sent to us by our debating teacher Ms Dyson, Once the link was clicked, teams would join the call where the opposing team and adjudicator were waiting for the debate to start. My team was Geelong College 2 and this year we didn't do very well. Our first debate was a forfeit as I live in Colac which meant I couldn't participate, then we had our second debate and lost. The third was the same as well as the fourth again was a loss, We were devasted with losing every debate, but we knew we tried our hardest which is what matters. This year is a year that we will never forget as it has been like a roller coaster. This virus has changed nearly everything, but debating was still enjoyable and I'm not giving up even ifit is immensely challenging, I will try my hardest to get a win. Aaron Pojani

A Continual Adjustment This year has been a year like no other for all members of The Geelong College Community. Educators across our state, country and globally are 'pivoting'; continually adjusting to our new normal. Throughout this year the children have collectively continued to bring us opportunities to feel grateful, to be courageous and implicitly hopeful. In my role as Head of Junior school at The Geelong College, I witnessed firsthand the ability to be of courage and resilience by our youngest learners. Our Prep to Year 3 students returned to and from Remote Learning while the majority of our youngest learners remained at school, blissfully unaware of their new normal. Life for them began with queues at the entrance to our Early Learning Centre, daily temperature checks, sanitising stations and then onto learning experiences with their physical and virtual friends. For our educators and students, the platform of Teams has allowed students not attending to join in some class meetings, and our online platforms Story Park and Seesaw kept us all in touch with current investigations, project work and documentation. Providing the children with access to explore outdoors, utilising our school ovals and playground was crucial whilst community playgrounds remained closed, and families were regulated by restricted movement.

Coupled with Remote Learning and the transitions oflearning at school, we also opened our beautiful new Early Learning Centre in February and our Prep to Year 3 indoor and outdoor learning spaces in June. Inspiring beacons of hope where we continued to readjust to our new normal and provided reimaged learning experiences for the children. 2020 was a unique experience as an educator and as a citizen of our world. I believe it is important to embrace the mindset that we really must not waste this crisis and, indeed, use these experiences as an opportunity to thrive. Although this year has certainly provided challenges, I am grateful to be part of a community which continuously lifts each other up in times of need. The words of Reggio Emilia educator Loris Malaguzzi provide us with hope and courage: 'We think ofa school for young children as an integral living organism, as a place ofshared lives and relationships among many adults and very many children. We think ofschool as a sort of construction in motion, continuously adjusting itself'. Surrounded by hope, our educators, children and families have collectively embraced a growth mindset and looked to reset and re-adjust. I believe we will continue to pivot and reimagine what our learning experiences look like within our schools -our places of being an integral living organism continuously adjusting itself. With hope we excitedly envisage the endless opportunities for this in our 21st Century learning spaces of Campbell House from 2021 and beyond.

Redevelopment This year amidst the resetting, readjusting and revaluating learning at home and at school, we proudly opened the doors of our new Prep to Year 3 buildings. Four years ago I wrote about the cycle of change and shared that if there was no opportunity for change then we would have no butterflies. The butterfly that is Campbell House is now well and truly ready to fly and certainly spread our wings into the future. As a community we are so proud to open the buildings to the students of Campbell House. The building befitting of it's place, within Geelong, a UNESCO City of design. It has truly emerged as a stunning and unique landscape for learning to lead us into our future. We value the educational potential of the aesthetic and view our school as a place of construction, growth and belonging. The foundations and architecture are enablers for this to occur, progressing through the rebuilding of our school to embrace a collaborative and constructivist approach to education. As a community, who truly value the image of child and image of childhood, achieving our purpose of developing a true Junior School, specialising in Early Childhood Education for 3 -8 year olds with seamless transitions has emerged. Having a school curriculum and buildings designed around a fundamental belief that children are capable opens possibilities for all our leaders and teachers to be brave in their choices and innovative in the way they teach. As shared in the Hundred languages of Children, Loris Malaguzzi suggests: that learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by, instead they should embark together on a journey down the water (Edwards 1998). Our school was officially opened by the Governor of Victoria the Honourable Linda Dessau AC on Tuesday 27 October. It was like so many events of 2020, reimagined and repurposed to fit within our virtual world. The Governor reflected upon our Reggio Emilia approach to education and the connectedness of our internal and wider communities, where the architecture provided endless opportunities for learning to occur within our indoor and outdoor spaces. Our plaque, on the walls of our original Campbell House classrooms, was proudly unveiled by our College Chairman, Dr Hugh Seward, our College Principal Dr Peter Miller and the children, represented by Charlie Murray, Winifred Tracey, Seamus Tiernan and Lachlan Montgomery. We continue to express gratitude to John Wardle and JWA Architects for not only hearing, but indeed listening to what we believed was central to our belief about children as learners and designing a space that remained integral to our original Campbell House, but also respected our future in our ever changing world. The staff and children continually look to this future and the richness of opportunities that our school, designed specifically to reflect the Reggio Emilia approach to education within the context that is The Geelong College, provides. The Reggio Emilia Philosophy, founded by philosopher Loris Malaguzzi in 1948, has become a world renowned educational project that, in its essence, encourages humanity to view children as capable, strong and bearers ofrights. While this approach isn't a 'new' one, it is one that until recently has been limited to Early Learning educational settings. At the Geelong College Junior School we have actively sought to promote this pedagogy

and way of viewing children throughout the primary years. We are grateful that our community has provided this foundation where the children have opportunities to be citizens of their present, citizens of our world, a school setting that is diverse and inclusive of the needs of all children, of social background, culture or demographic. We will continue to provide a rich tapestry of exciting learning opportunities, believing that the image of the learner is well-rounded, confident, active, curious.joyous, connected, resilient, empowered, creative and imaginative. Sometimes teacher, sometimes learner, but always playful and always learning. We look forward to 2021 where we can open our doors and extend an invitation to welcome those who walked in the Campbell House of old and into the new. My favourite part was watching the children's faces fill with joy as they first explored the new spaces. It really was such a special return to school! While you have ideas about how the children will respond to the space and encounter the materials, they always manage to surprise with new ideas and ways of/earning. As a Prep team we had put a lot of thought into the set up of the spaces and we were really keen to ensure it was both a collaborative and innovative learning environment for all. Having explored the UNESCO rights of the child with the Prep children earlier in the year we knew how important it was to allow their voices to be heard and value their ideas around the purpose and set up of the spaces. Ms Sarah Armour Some things are new in the school that we had in the old school... the nails and hammers... I know how to do it with my friends.

From Village to City The original design of Campbell House was that of a quaint village. Small, weatherboard, detached houses (classrooms) were centred around a village square. Beautiful, calming, quiet, isolated and suiting the style of teaching well up to the early 1990s. However, at a point teaching and learning practices evolved beyond what this village could accommodate. The need for exploration, collaboration and deprivatisation meant that our buildings, though loved and cherished, were beginning to feel as timeworn as the blistered and cracked paint on the weatherboards. Enter 2020. The completion of the Campbell House redevelopment. A design envisaged collaboratively by architects, educators and most importantly students has given life to a state-of-the-art primary education setting that is the envy of Australia, if not the world. Flexible learning spaces and ateliers open the horizons to deep collaboration, as well access to a multitude of resources and expertise. Inbuilt kitchens and wet areas allow for experimental activities to be conducted within the learning spaces themselves. Strong wireless and digital resourcing initiated the opportunities for our children to become true digital citizens of their world. The possibilities for creating learning ateliers that support the teaching content are vast and endless. So, what of the teaching and learning itself? How did educators move from one mode of teaching to a new, possibly revolutionary way of teaching that encourages innovation and embraces the notion that we have a school that is undeniably designed for 21st century learning?

This was a carefully curated process that ran over the course of five years, in the lead up to completion of the buildings. Deep, rich planning meetings and professional learning sessions were designed so teams could reenvisage what teaching and learning would look like in these new spaces. As Leaders of Learning we leant on our greatest asset, our educators. Each brought a wealth of skills, understanding, imagination and indeed risk taking to the table. It was about redeveloping our practice and perhaps even being secure enough to fail. Educators saw the importance of, and in fact felt the imperative to develop our collaboration between and across teams, our understanding of children in new and complex ways, and to recognise individual needs and pathways of learning for all children. "It is the process ofknowledge that is creative, it cannot be standardized. We must make it possible for the child to be the author of that process. They need to be able to re-work the same knowledge in new and original ways. Creativity is giving shape to your own ideas" Claudia Giuducu, 2018

Our Reggio Emilia philosophy guided us. This building was created with Reggio Emilia practices in mind, and so we could go back and refresh our understanding and beliefs of curriculum, pedagogy and environment within our Reggio Emilia inspired learning community. This allowed educators to reflect on the possibilities we had always strived for, but perhaps couldn't quite achieve, with prior space restraints. Now came the time to get creative, strive for innovation and throw forward our ideas for learning in the biggest possible way. It was a moment of incredible freedom of opportunity to be the lighthouse for Reggio-inspired, best-practice learning, and the gift of a lifetime for all involved. The Campbell House redevelopment has undeniably placed our educators at the forefront of 21st century learning. The excitement, passion and learning is evident within the fabric of each learning space and indeed the building itself. "I like how the teachers are learning about our brains. You know how we think, and how we learn. These buildings help us be able to learn about our brains and to share our learning. "Harry, 6

Phew, what a year we have had in Year 3! As a cohort the students of Year 3 have shown amazing resilience in dealing with a year that has been incredibly challenging. We started the year by addressing the provocation 'How am I a citizen ofmy collective place?'. Through meaningful meetings and discussions, we unpacked the question and put a unique Year 3 spin on it. We found that citizenship and leadership are intertwined, and we explored citizenship through our role as Year 3 leaders at Junior School. This led us to researching jobs within the community and responding to the prompt: 'lfl were Prime Minister.. .'. But there were whispers in the air of a growing pandemic ...

Citizenship • It's a person who lives in a city • It's a person who lives in a society • The Prime Minister needs to come from a country so he or she knows the people Citizens must follow the rules and there are police, firemen, paramedics, the PM and Governor General who help you know what the rules are.

Disaster struck at the start of Term 2! The virus had spread across the world and throughout Australia. We weren't able to attend school in person but these adaptable students continued their learning like model citizens. Our focus shifted to Ancient Greece and mythical characters and beasts. We studied our House emblems and their related stories and designed our own mythological beasts. These beasts needed features, a habitat, adaptations, a climate and a story, all told through a beautiful homemade diorama. Robert Ing pen supported our learning by presenting 3 beautiful pieces of art for Campbell House which can be found in our Reception area.

Mythological Beasts • Mythical beasts go out and protect their country from villains. MaxWood • Sometimes mythical creatures are bad, they like to eat stuff that comes in their way, even people. Lach Ian Montgomery • Sometime Greek beasts are all real, sometimes they are all fake and sometimes they are half real and half fake, like the Pegasus. James Howes

Unfortunately, the pesky virus was still with us in Term 3 so we reluctantly trudged back to Home Learning, Our emphasis on mythological beasts and the climate naturally led us to studying weather. We examined the weather from our beautiful brand-new windows and designed and filmed our own weather segments, We used our knowledge of weather to begin a research project into different elements of weather to produce a booklet, We presented our scientific booklets to the group over Microsoft Teams. Exploring the weather led us to natural disasters. Year 3 students studied natural disasters through a historical, scientific and social lens to discover the causes and effects of the Earth's processes.

Weather • Weather is amazing, I studied tsunamis and learnt how dangerous they can be. Some tsunamis are over 100 feet tall. Finn Cummins • Cyclone Tracey actually ripped through Darwin and ruined everything. Zane Ryan • Hurricanes can travel 243 km/h and they mainly happen in the tropics. Judd Quinlan Despite all of our challenges, it has been a fantastic year. This brilliant cohort has met some massive roadblocks but have powered through their learning with industrious strength, They have continued to use their senses, ask questions, think deeply and be naturally inquisitive,

Whispers of the Past First term was a smorgasbord of experiences for our Year 2 children. It began with exploring our new surrounds of what would soon be our purpose built, state of the art learning spaces. With this in mind we began to explore the notion of citizenship. What does it mean? How can we become good citizens? How can we build on the community that already exists at Campbell House? These provocations where further explored through our House History day where the children discovered the historical Greek myths that were the stories behind their House titles. The excitement was palpable as the children explored myths from around our globe, finding that many were formed to explain the way things were created or to teach a moral lesson. The children developed a strong understanding of the importance of storytelling and how throughout history and indeed still today storytelling plays a vital role in shaping our society and in turn citizens. From this worldly investigation, children began to seek out the myths, legends and stories that told our Australian story. Along this path we explored Dreamtime stories and developed our understanding of what it means to be part of'Country', Home Learning gave children the time to explore their own 'country' or their 'land' It allowed them to pause, reflect, listen and ultimately respect the land we inhabit and our role as caretakers. Building on the notion of place and country, the children reflected on themselves as new inhabitants of our learning spaces. The Year 2 learning space only recently having been named Bunjil, the Wadawurrung word for eagle provided them with inspiration, The children felt that they, as the first citizens ofBunjil, needed to set the tone. It was decided that collaboratively the children would form a mission statement to leave behind for the future 'citizens' ofBunjiL

Belonging in Bunjil Bunjil is a community of kind and caring learners, Those who belong in this space are respectful of each other and the environment. This respect is shown when: • We think deeply • We share ideas and listen to those of others • We care for our spaces both indoor and outdoor • We are welcoming and protective of all who come to this space • We are brave and accept challenges • We celebrate the success of others • We support those who face challenges

Together we are powerful and we will soar like eagles This creates the culture and the responsibilities of the citizens to come. It will be passed through word and story as the myths, legends and dreamtime stories of the past have done,

To stimulate thinking and relaunch ideas with our children, we provoked them with the question

"How are we citizens of our collective place?' .. ,this led the children to start thinking about our place and the communities they belong to and feel a part of. A school is where you learn, and a home is where you get ready.

Lexi I am a citizen of my home and I am a citizen of Gee long and we are citizens of The Geelong College. Winnie We belong to Geelong College and to a House like Helicon. Georgia

The children were eager to explore our place at The Gee long College and how they belong to our community. We explored continuity and change in our school community by being involved in a 'Old School Day'. This provoked many thoughts and ideas as teachers wore robes, desks were in rows, learning number facts by rote and enjoying hopscotch and skipping at recess. From this provocation the children compared the present with the past and could see how aspects of the past, influence us today. Throughout our Home Learning period the children were fascinated by science, participating in chemical and physical sciences guided investigations. After investigating 'float and sink', they rose to the challenge of designing and building a model boat that could support several bundles of icy-pole sticks. The end of Home Learning came alongside another very special point in time. It was with immense excitement our 2020 Year 1 students became the first learners of Mon.gaark- our brand new, specifically designed learning space. As the children took ownership of their new space, we provoked them with the question 'How can our boats move?' You could give your boat a push and it would move. Maggie You would push and pull your rowing oar. Amelie You could use a ring to pull yourself into land. Connor

As participants in their own learning, the children deepened their understanding of forces. Inspired by the book 'Rosie Revere, Engineer' the children investigated, designed, planned and created billy carts using clay, cardboard and Lego, Throughout our literacy sessions the children have enjoyed taking part in our daily rotations ofreading response, digital, reader research, guided reading and word study, During the year we focused on writing a sustained narrative as the children were introduced to the 7 stages of our Writers Workshop (seed, plan, draft, revise, edit, conference and publish). "In the distance they saw something running. It was something with stripes it was black, yellow and orange." Sanath ''The venomous mouse was crawling along to the house when it suddenly got in, the kids freaked out and ran outside." Marko "They got into the cart and raced. They drove so fast they hit a rock, next they smashed into a big stinky bin, BOOM!" Connor "They saw the chameleon; it was green with red eyes shhh went the wind. The two boys ran as fast as they could, but the chameleon got tired so tired that he could not run anymore."

Harriet As mathematicians, we moved our focus from the answer to the thinking and found the importance of using multiple strategies to support our solutions, Whether in class or through Microsoft Teams the children enjoyed our Triple R sessions. We learnt the knowledge, attitudes and skills of social and emotional competency through themes such as Emotional Literacy, Personal Strengths, Positive Coping. Moving away from the amazing creations of man, Year 1 began to investigate the creations of nature. We investigated living vs non-living things, and the anatomy of plants! At home we were set the challenge of growing our very own sugar snap pea plant and a sunflower. Our understanding of the natural world deepened as we discovered the important role that bees play in our gardens, which prompted us to think about ways we could make our gardens at home and school more bee friendly.

2020 saw the children of Year 1 shine, developing into resilient, autonomous, and confident learners.

The Right to Connect The Rights of the Child

The Prep children began their year with zest and focus! It was clear we had a cohort of creative, critical thinkers who were ready to engage in thought provoking learning conversations. We began our project work by offering a provocation to the children that later became an overarching framework for our evolving investigations. In our first meeting we introduced the children to the 'United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child'. This stimulated conversation and thinking as to what citizenship means to them, preparing children to consider our research question:

Why are they sitting in a seat like that? Because they want to say something!

To let other people know! To write the words down! To write the idea! As teacher researchers, the children's ideas had invited us to consider many questions and offered possible directions to explore. The teachers wondered what children knew about democracy and how decisions are made in our world? If children held their own meetings on issues important to them what would they imagine these meetings would be like? How would they decide what to discuss?

'How are we citizens of our collective place?'

As we explored the different images and rights, the question remained from one child: But what do rights actually mean?

Children shared their opinions: It's something you can do! You can do it! Rights means interesting stuff is important. It's what children need. Helping people in need. I think it is the right thing to do because it says right. Keeping out of danger is really good. The right to be treated fairly by everyone. Children need to get respected!

The statement, 'Children need to get respected!' resonated with all children and teachers. Here the concept began to emerge that children have their own ideas beyond the basic rights of what children need and so to be respected is to have a voice in these matters. The other aspect that incited curiosity from children was a photograph of members of the United Nation meeting to make decisions about children's rights. Our children made a connection between this and the meetings they participate in at school.

Meetings about our new spaces

Our imminent move to the exciting new buildings at Junior School caused a buzz of ideas and discussions amongst children. We need to talk about important things like how to build the new buildings. We could plan to do the new building.

We met regularly with children, allowing them to converse and draw plans for how they saw the new spaces being organised. The following ideas arose: • The creation of secret spaces for learning and playing. • Spaces for meeting and coming together. Spaces for children to meet with each other. Spaces for teachers to meet. • A kitchen for cooking together and spaces to share the food we prepare. • Making spaces with access to many resources and materials. • Shared play spaces as a collective, • Comfortable spaces. A significant thread became apparent surrounding the utilisation of the kitchen spaces for preparing, cooking and sharing foods. The study of kitchens around the world lead children to think outwardly and connect to the similarities or differences identified in their own families' food traditions and routines. The idea of a 'Family Cafe' was born, where important cultural and family recipes could be shared to cook and eat together, at school. The Right to Eat Healthy Food and Home Learning Explorations

While continuing with our learning within and outside of the physical place of The Geelong College, a barrier surfaced regarding our ability to create and share food together in our spaces, as desired and dreamt up by the children and in line with their identified right to do so. Taking the problem of COVID-19, and accompanying hygiene measures to the children, allowed them to suggest solutions in their ever-creative way.

Prep C came up with ideas to create and display an individual lunch box of home foods for our 100 Days of Learning celebration, identifying their choices with appreciation towards the healthy food pyramid, and began the process of planning and revising a persuasive writing piece to extend the invitation for family involvement. They also considered their proficiency in their strengthening ICT skills, to create recipe videos of a meal of significance, and to share this with their peers. With our learning spaces then shifting to be inside many of the children's homes, the opportunities for partnerships and collaboration were gifted to us in a remarkable way. The power in continuing with children's enthusiasm surrounding food opened up the ability to work in rich collaborations with families around the origins of food, its forms and meaning, and its relationship to cultural and social variables. We remained determined and were taught lifelong lessons about change and the need to be adaptable. The strength of our growth mindsets paired with the enthusiasm of children working to sustain our project inquiries, with ideas such as:

That of measuring, comparing and estimating food amounts using maths language; and ofreading recipes and discussing their features. It became that of using digital applications for sharing of learning and most importantly, that of built cultural capability in celebrating the similarity and differences in us all. This is how we were citizens of our collective place - by finding a way to share ourselves, and simultaneously being open to accepting the offerings of others ... and finding ways to do this even when we are apart. This recipe book will be a gift which holds memories and symbols of this connection, sustained between a cohort of children during difficult circumstances, in a year that will be remembered by all.

We can cook in our house and tell them what it tastes like! You could put signs around the place and email the recipe. We can do a cooking show on Teams. We can all cook pasta ... potato, or anything! Take the recipe on a piece ofpaper and cook on Teams ... we could send on Seesaw. You could email the recipe ... or put it on Teams. We could share the food on Teams ... then we could send the recipe and they could try it and give it to someone else in Prep or Geelong College and then they could try it.

First, we studied cooking clips - including that of our Prep Teachers as they filmed themselves making a favourite recipe. Then children each thoughtfully constructed representations of their recipe of significance, with the intention of compiling a published online recipe piece to share. And so, we found ourselves walking through a woven curriculum journey in this tangible process -that of writing recipe procedures and persuasive letters; of examining food parts and drawing these in great detail.

Reimagining our Learning Environment It was with great anticipation and excitement that we welcomed our 2020 Early Learners to their Open Morning in January. After several years of planning, a year in temporary facilities and many classroom moves we were finally in our new buildings. Children and teachers quickly settled in and began to explore the potential of our new learning spaces. Our indoor classrooms are connected at each year level and children discovered they could play and learn in either space. A central gathering space (or atelier) also provides a place to gather for mealtimes, class discussions or creative art experiences in the fresh air. Our shared multi-purpose space 'Yaluk' (Wathaurong for river) allows for larger gatherings, Outside School Hours Care and specialist classes. Teachers approached the learning environment with fresh eyes, considering how to best offer provocations to children as they worked collaboratively. Relationships and connections were strengthened across each year group and within the whole of Early Learning.

The outdoor environment is our largest learning space at Early Learning, reflecting our commitment to learning outdoors as the optimal way for young children to learn. All indoor experiences can be replicated outdoors, and children can move their bodies freely whilst using all their senses to explore and develop physically, socially and intellectually. We were pleased to be able to welcome families into Early Learning during Term 1. With the onset of COVID-19 restrictions we were challenged to re-think our programs and we quickly adapted and moved to a combination of both on-site and home learning. Many children attended right throughout the year, and teachers worked creatively to ensure children's learning continued in both sites. During this period of Remote Learning I was often asked by people outside the education community 'How can you possibly provide Remote Learning for preschool children?' The answer lay in utilising the existing skills and attributes of early years educators in being adaptable, responsive and family-centred. We strengthened connections with children and parents via our online platforms Storypark and Microsoft Teams, an understandably challenging experience for pre-schoolers. Of particular importance to our Early Learners, teachers designed creative Home Learning packs including resources to support literacy, numeracy and creativity, including specialist French, Music, PE and yoga experiences. My gratitude goes to all the staff for their outstanding efforts this year. They were courageous and innovative in an environment of uncertainty and constant change. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy challenges us to become 'comfortable with uncertainty' as a way of moving forward in our thinking and learning and these times have certainly encouraged us to do that. Despite the uncertainty our wonderful children have grown, progressed and flourished, and we are grateful for the year we have shared in our beautiful new spaces.

Early Learning Special Events Whilst the rest of the school were busy learning remotely in Term 3, Early Learners continued to attend school. With many regular school events not occurring we decided to plan a series of special days to create a sense of positivity, and to give us all something to look forward to. Immediately this changed the narrative for many families, as children had something to plan for, talk about and share with their family. The first day was a 'Movie day' where our EL4 children had made posters and tickets to advertise the movies on offer. There were three cinemas set up in our learning spaces, complete with a ticket booth to purchase tickets and candy bar for popcorn. A costume parade was an exciting opportunity to celebrate children's creativity and individuality.

A 'Wacky Hair Pyjama Day' gave us all another excuse to dress up at school. A photo booth and art experiences complemented the children's crazy hair, and it was the most comfortable we had all been for a while in our pyjamas and slippers. Instead of our usual mini-athletics day we hosted a 'Games day' in the gym. Children wore their team colours and joined in an obstacle course, egg and spoon race, and soccer and footy activities. This event was a highlight for children, and they enjoyed the opportunity to complete all the events offered, collecting stickers on their game sheet. Fortunately by Term 3 we were able to participate in Bush Connections at Dog Rocks for a much needed day in nature. It is usually a place we visit termly to spend the whole day learning outdoors. Children explored the wonderful natural environment using all their senses and were delighted to spot kangaroos, wallabies and eagles. The delights ofrisky play included climbing and jumping from large rocks, building stick shelters and tramping through the bush. The feedback from families and children about the special events was overwhelmingly positive. We were reminded that sometimes the little things mean the most and we were delighted to offer children this time to experience joy, excitement and make-believe. Ros Molyneux & Julie Bickett

The creation of Yaluk Early Learning Three have connected and shared learning throughout the year. The creation of our collaborative Yaluk project began with a video that Corrina Eccles, a Wadawurrung Traditional Owner, kindly shared with us. It included the story ofYaluk, (the Barwon River) and the creatures that inhabit this beautiful environment. Corrina used the Wadawurrung names of our Early Learning spaces -3B Buniya (eel), 3A Perridak (platypus), 4A Barrabin (turtle) and 4B Kuwiyn (fish) to weave a beautiful story. The story talked about caring for our land, Mother Earth, so that she can, in return care for us as inhabitants of this land. With much interest in the river folk characters and the Barwon river (Yaluk), we wondered ifwe could create a river of our own? Meetings were arranged to brainstorm our ideas on what we would need. We need blue water We need Buniyas and Perridaks in our rivers I can't draw rocks, but I can draw a boulder

Our connection between the 3-year-old spaces continued to evolve as we worked on 'Yaluk' along our corridor. We applied creative additions ofus as River folk, our Perridaks, Buniyas, natural artefacts and the many other natural elements that make up the shores of the riverbank. This natural connection has led to expansion of friendships, the sharing of ideas and a feeling of comfort to move freely in both spaces. The project has assisted children to become a collaborative team of learners who have displayed great respect for one another. Rich learning about our local Aboriginal culture continues to occur on this learning journey.

Our River, Yaluk The creation ofYaluk has been an ongoing collaborative project for Early Learning 3 children. The river, located along the hallway connecting the two learning spaces, has been a catalyst for shaping our thoughts about belonging in both our group and the whole EL3 space. A video story called River Folk, created during our first Remote Learning period has been a favourite with the children this year. We were fortunate to have these endearing wooden characters come and visit and spend time in Early Learning. Many stories were shared, artwork created and play scenarios set with our folk friends as inspiration. We eventually realised the time had come for them to return to their home by the river. As an alternative to an excursion, a family holiday adventure was planned for the school holidays. The children used clay to make their own folk to be returned to their favourite place by the river. With a map, noting the nine landmarks from the original story, (including Chipped Rock, Twisted Twines, Tripping Tree and Stairs To Where) children set out with their families on their own Yaluk adventure. I found all the nature friends down there They have to live in their home They are feeling happy now

We embarked on our own river course at the start of the year, and time spent together has made way for learning to be consolidated. It has been a winding journey with unexpected delights along the way-dilemmas to ponder, mysteries to solve and questions to answer. We have collaborated with our friends in 3A sharing our stories with them, and listening in wonder to theirs. An apt quote from Reggio Emilia founder Loris Malaguzzi comes to mind as we reflect on our year together: Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks andjust watch the river float by; instead, they should embark together on ajourney down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning and how to learn.

Tales from the underground Investigations into our worm farm, a visit from a fox and research undertaken into rivers and animals led to the start of a project titled 'What lies beneath?' Educators purposefully created spaces that encouraged children to further explore this interest and deepen their understanding of the world. Children expressed their ideas about what lies beneath through drawing and painting. Here we saw the development in children's drawing skills as they become more confident and refined their fine motor skills. Their 'underground' drawings gave us a clue of what children might know and wonder about in the world of the underneath. When the children in EL4A started to create their own 'Grass Head Dudes' they realised that there were many elements of the 'underground' that directly linked to science and STEM, By offering children a fun and creative way to explore plants and growth we invited them to gain knowledge of plants, animals, light and water. We supported children to develop their own tunnel tale and then represent this tale in creative and fun ways. These 'tales' supported children's literacy skills by promoting oral language and helping them to understand story structure. It also encouraged their confidence in using different materials and the further development of fine motor skills, Children have delighted in sharing their 'tales' with the group. Celebrating the one hundred languages of children and supporting their rights to learn, grow, and be happy and healthy has formed the basis of a wonderful year in Early Learning 4A.

Stone Stories A love of beautiful things from nature, especially rocks and stones, and a strong fondness for telling a tale has driven an interest in stone stories for Early Learning 4B, We first noticed this when we visited our new Junior school playground. The children all seemed to "buzz" about the structures for a few minutes - climbing, running, sliding - before the 'real play' began, They would then disperse amongst the rock river crushing, lifting, classifying and observing, sorting by shape, size, colour, pattern and beauty. The rocks are forever moving, handled by one child then another. Traveling along the outskirts of the playground to become something different, something imagined then reimagined. The beauty of nature calls loudly, and play is created not by stagnant structures but by the forever changing landscape of nature; of something that existed way beyond the time of humanity. Every part ofnature has a past, a history and a story. We must encourage children to play outside and explore, look at the stars, feel the heat of the sun, sit, stare and contemplate nature. There is so much out there to explore, it begins one stone at a time, turning over pebbles and creating a story of what, how, where and when. Unlocking the mystery and wonder of our world. After many discussions and stories, it was thought that each stone has a story and if we are quiet enough and listen a rock might tell us a story. Our stone stories began, Each child acquired a crystal through a magic story box. They listened and shared the stone's story to their peers. The children hypothesised that all their stories are connected somehow, we just needed to find the link. The irony is that somehow all our stories are connected, we just need to start the stories, Storytelling with and from children develops their language skills oflistening, confidence in speaking in groups, imagination and use of words. Their stone stories showed us the development of their oral story telling and imagination.

Senior School Music 2020 was the year that began with new students, new instruments and a full performance program ready to go. It was the year that should have allowed us to celebrate live musical milestones around some of the most famous and brilliant musicians ever, including: • 250 years since Beethoven died • 100 years since Al Jolson's Swanee topped the charts • 50 years since the deaths of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix Despite the COVID-19 restrictions, the Music Department rallied this year and provided the very best opportunities possible during our lives in and out ofrestrictions that impacted the music education of students in Victoria so significantly. The College's three campuses achieved amazing musical results when all things are considered and these achievements are evident in the following reports. However, this year also presented students with the joy of creating music at home, for their parents and families; it allowed them to record themselves and enter into the College's inaugural Online 'Websteddfod' to hone their musical skills; it encouraged them to develop their musical knowledge Online, in TEAMS and in break-out rooms as they attempted to learn how to play an instrument or master a melody. It focused on students creating soundtracks using their laptops and devices; and all whilst being apart, separated physically, but joined by a common passion to continue to learn music in class. I would like to acknowledge the talents and skills of the College's Music Department, staff, administration and instrumental music teachers combined, for their professionalism this year, and their willingness to adapt so quickly and effectively into the Online world of music education. I would also like to thank the Foundation, the College, and parents for their ongoing support of music education in our school. To our two Music Co-Captains, Danny Yang and Jess Wynhoven, thank you for your wisdom and maturity in dealing with this amazing year and to every student who persisted with their music lessons and discovered magical musical moments with their teachers, an enormous congratulations and thanks. Finally, 2020 proved that you just can't stop the music and for this, we are truly blessed. Dr Phillip Bohun, Director of Music

Whilst 2020 has been a challenging year for our extracurricular ensemble groups, the Music Department continued to propose new ideas and create opportunities for music students during Remote Learning. One highlight of the year was the virtual TGC Music Competition held in Term 2, where students across all year levels were invited to showcase their musicality. Whether it be recording a piece from their instrumental/vocal repertoire, displaying their unique creativity through composition, or even filming a music video, 2020 never stopped our work momentum for music. After all, it was the students' burning passion, along with the immense support from the Music Department that ultimately created a special year filled with surprises and joy. I would like to thank Dr Bohun, as well as each and every other music staff member for the enormous efforts you have put in to make the online music lesson experience one that was truly unforgettable. Although it is sad to leave Keith Humble Centre, a place where I have made the fondest memories during my time here, I am optimistic about the futures of our young musicians, who will continue to hone their musicianship and make the Music Department truly prosper. Danny Yang

As I look back on 2020 from my perspective as Music Co-Captain, I admire the adaptability and flexibility of both the music students and staff alike. Whilst we were not able to perform in a traditional live setting and showcase our talented students to the rest of The Geelong College community, classroom music programs allowed us to continue to explore and develop our passions and enthusiasms for our instruments, as well as further our music theory knowledge in the process. Personally, this year I had the privilege of singing the National Anthem with the Junior School choir performing the song in AUS LAN. Seeing the youngest members of our school's community still so determined to participate in their choir proves how much joy music has brought to us during such an unprecedented year. Being a part of The Geelong College's music program since Prep, I am sad to finally have to say goodbye to the Keith Humble Centre and its wonderful staff. I would like to thank every staff member in the Music Department who has helped me realise my potential in music and encouraged me to follow my passion. Jess Wynhoven

Middle School Music At the beginning of the 2020 school year, Music rang through the Middle School Music building as it had for many years before: Year 4 brandished their recorders, learning several songs and clef notation in the process, Years 5 and Gexplored Music from around the world, singing folksongs with gusto and performing on African drums and their instruments, the Year 7s played an instrument, some for the first time, discovering the joys of ensemble playing in the Instrument Discovery Program and the Year 8s formed smaller ensembles, extending both their ensemble and solo performance skills . By the end of Term 1, music playing, teaching and learning were reimagined to allow for Remote Learning. But still the music played on and, in fact, new possibilities of musical exploration were opened. Year 4 students enjoyed 'The Geelong College Music Channel' which allowed classroom Music into the homes for both students and families to enjoy. The Year 4s also made their own music instruments from recycled materials which then featured in the Enviro songs released at the end of the year. A study of World Music continued for Years 5 and Gand culminated in a performance by Torres Strait Island group "Wyniss" via Zoom Webinar. Year Ss extended their note reading and playing on the recorder producing several Virtual Ensembles which were enjoyed at Assembly. A percussion Virtual Ensemble was produced by the Year Gs who used sounds from around their home, performing syncopated rhythms in time with each other. After analysing film soundtracks, Year Gs also utilised their music theory skills and sequencing program MixCraft to compose a soundtrack to accompany their own Space film. Year 7 IDP students unfortunately missed the rewarding experience of playing in a large ensemble together; however, individual instrument groups continued improving on technique and note reading. The Year 8 music class experimented with practice strategies on their instrument, learning a solo piece of their choosing and analysing the effectiveness of their practice in a journal. After all, with other activities cancelled, it was the perfect opportunity to fit in some more practice! Finally, Year 8 Elective 'Almost Famous' prepared for their ensemble performance and accompanying video clip through the software program SoundTrap which allowed them to add their part to a group file and continue the collaborative aspect of this subject. Well done to all music students and teachers for their flexibility and commitment in keeping the music going at school, at home and online. Play on! Melinda Bell

Junior School Music During 2020, Junior School Music classes have mostly taken place online, due to COVID19. Students have enjoyed many activities from the comfort of their own homes and had musical opportunities to enjoy each week. Activities have included singing songs, vocal exploration, beat motion, move its, vocal improvisation, movement activities, clapping and games. Students have been composing their own songs about a variety of topics during Term 3 and sending them into 'See Saw· for Music teachers to listen to and comment on. A highlight of Term 3 was the opportunity for 16 students to learn the Auslan sign to 'Advance Australia Fair' which was recorded for the opening ceremony of the new building at Junior School, which was held on Tuesday the 27th October. The students learnt the Auslan sign in two rehearsals and had a video with which to practise, They made everyone proud with their efforts. The Year 2 String Program has been continuing strongly and had online lessons during the first lockdown as students progressed with the learning of their stringed instruments. During the second lockdown students had videos to watch and practise with as well as work sheets to complete. Junior School Assemblies were held every fortnight and have had music support throughout, This year, singing outside has become the normal thing to do at the start of Music lessons and the students enjoy being outside, Junior School is looking forward to more musical opportunities in 2021. Instrumental Music lessons have been consistent throughout 2020 with instrumental teachers moving into flexible teaching mode and students learning their instruments with online lessons. We currently have 85 students learning an instrument, with some learning two. The instruments that are currently taught at Junior School are cello, piano, flute, guitar, drums, violin, viola and voice, with a total of91 lessons attended within each week. The energy and commitment given by all instrumental and classroom Music teachers has resulted in students continuing to have music in their homes. Thank you to everyone involved. Meegan Baker

VET Music 2020 has delivered a year of challenges in the music industry and further abroad. We"ve had to come up with creative concepts to promote and enable live performances. This is how LITC (Live in the Courtyard) was born. The idea was to host pop up concerts in the Senior School courtyard for all to hear. This would range from all types of styles; to embrace music in general. We were treated with our staff taking to the stage and rocking out the courtyard with a mass gathering of students cheering and supporting the event. Creating performance opportunities for students and having the experience in utilising professional AV gear was part of the concept in developing and inspiring our students. Due to COVID we were unable to proceed through the lockdowns but stay tuned, as this will return! Senior School assemblies have been streaming live, and this created opportunity for students to pre-record themselves from home. It was another way to stay relevant and again provide a platform to perform but in a new format. We"ve had some wonderful performances across the board from all campuses with on line performances and it's a credit to the students for embracing such significant change. Our VET Music students have had a year to remember but have also embraced the challenges when completing assessment tasks. There were three gigs in total for the Year 12s, which were filmed and recorded as part of their VCE SACs in the George Logie Smith auditorium. Usually, we would perform two gigs at venues in Geelong to enable students to gain industry experience, but due to COVID we had to keep our performances within the College. As the Year 12s made preparation for their final exam, they had the privilege of performing at our home ground, The Keith Humble Centre, and had VCAA praising such a fantastic performance space. It's a year to remember as we adapted and expressed our versatility and resilience.

Creatively Agile "Learning from home has made me more observant of the composition of things around me. It was through this that I saw the value in seeking inspiration from different spaces, at /east more than I typically would at a school desk. Online learning, although a challenge, has forced me to grow creatively and push my thinking, allowing me to expand my design skills." Harriet Koch, Year 11 Visual Communication Design

2020 was a year that no-one predicted or planned for. For all in education it became a challenge; however, for the design and creative arts subjects, every unit of work, every task, every activity needed to be re-imagined. To move our learning from our well-resourced physical learning spaces in the Austin Gray Centre, seemingly overnight, to a virtual, online learning space was a huge challenge. We could no longer take for granted things as simple as going to a drawer for a piece of A3 cartridge paper and the shelf for a range of lead pencils, to access to more specific equipment, such as the laser cutting technology, to sample and prototype designs. The rooms full of exemplar displays of past student work that inform and motivate our new young talent were suddenly unavailable. The hurdles appeared tall and at times difficult to negotiate. However, staff and students alike soon developed a creative agility that has reimagined our learning space. The transfer of our traditionally hands-on 'art room' subjects to the remote landscape has brought about new discoveries and elevated creative responses from our students. We developed a renewed focus on students' own individual environments, awareness of each unique context and a resourcefulness to create artworks from the world around them, along with a resilience to embrace new digital technologies to communicate messages and design resolutions. Teachers transformed their kitchen tables into working studios and mini recording suites. A space arranged with art-making materials and tools coupled with a document camera; our talented teachers were able to demonstrate specific skills and processes through real-time illustrations, diagrams and technique demonstrations and stream these to their classes. They were recorded for ongoing access for every student. Virtual break-out spaces and private channels allowed for teacher-student feedback, small group collaboration and

individual student instruction and support. 'It was like having my own live You Tube channel', felt Ms Pelletier as she guided her fashion design students to amazing outcomes. Mr KT found the ability to screen share and record 'how-to' videos extremely beneficial for his students as they embraced a whole new digital design platform. So, while our rooms were empty and our 'way of teaching' upturned and challenged, this is what we discovered from our students. The fashion design students became resourceful as they repurposed materials from around their house. Even the Woolworths shopping bag made an appearance as a masterfully constructed fashion garment. Our photographers explored their environments for light, shape and texture to create unique, individual and sophisticated responses to challenges through the lens of their own isolation environments. While our workshops were out of bounds, our young product designers embraced the industry-standard on line design collaboration tool Fusion 360 to create three-dimensional renderings and technical drawings, taking their designed objects to full manufacturing standards. Our young architects developed an understanding of depicting space by drawing their own built environments, then creating imaginative compositions by placing themselves, their buddies and their pets within these drawings, using a range of digital technologies. In fact, despite the obvious absence of the 'physical student' within our creative learning spaces, the creativity was not gone. Our students were flexible and perhaps even more imaginative and creative. They were certainly more resilient and resourceful during this most unusual time. Through this experience for me, I see even more clearly that 'creativity' is the resource that we need to foster in our students. The challenge to adapt, think divergently, be flexible and make a statement, make marks on paper - any marks on any sort of paper - it doesn't matter as it is this one mark that will lead to the next, which will ultimately lead to a complete design or a complete artwork. Our students in 2020 have clearly become 'creatively agile' learners. Here is a snapshot ofwhat they themselves have experienced... Kevin Jess, Head of Design and Creative Arts Department

"During Remote Learning I feel my creativity was heightened. Taking more artistic risks, I knew I had spare time to try everything. I felt like I could focus more by myselfand found that I didn't really care if it looked bad because then I would fix it or try again. I feel this experience has made me more creative by taking more risks and feeling free to do anything." Baxter Pullin, Year 9 Photography "Because of being in Remote Learning I have considered different areas ofmy local environment for photos and spent more time deciding on location and the emphasis that the right angle or side of a building, bridge or area can have. I think from the experience of Remote Learning the thought process behind each task has changed and I have been more resourceful and efficient in my planning, editing and photo-taking process. I think I've also explored creative pathways and ideas that I might not have if not for Remote Learning and tested out the use of different software besides Photoshop. I tried Lightroom for the first time, something I wouldn't have done otherwise and didn't do last year."

"I spent a lot more time doing trials than I would have at school as I had to guide myselfin how to improve faults rather than relying on teachers to help, I ended up doing a lot more research into dyeing fabric than I initially predicted by watching different tutorials and applying them to my trials, I improved greatly and have become more confident in being able to refine my skills by myself. Working from home gave me the independence and flexibility to work on my project most efficiently with little time pressure, Essentially, I didn't have to 'pack up' after class (sorry mum and dad) or stop halfway through finishing a step because the bell rang. I feel online learning has made me more flexible in terms of what conditions I can work under and has strengthened my ability to communicate with teachers for help as well as doing better when trying to figure it out myself."

Cricket The 1st XI had one of its most successful seasons in recent history, winning 5 games, drawing 2, and only experiencing 2 losses. The highlights of the season came in games against St Kevin's and Geelong Grammar. Beating St Kevin's by 1 run, Ed Kol took the last wicket in spectacular fashion with an incredible running catch by Noah Guida. Against archrivals Geelong Grammar, it was a relief to take an emphatic win after many years oflosses. We bowled them out for 90 chasing 199.

The 4ths remained undefeated for 2020. Their greatest game of the season was against Wesley College in the 4th round of Term 1. In the first innings Max Brownless took 2 wickets and Joel McWilliam took 6/25. Wesley College made 149 runs. In the second innings, Lachlan Wardle made 67 runs and Riley Clifford 39 runs. The game came down to the last ball; they needed 4 runs to win. With Jack Buchanan at the crease, he played the shot of his life and hit the required boundary.

Over the season there was a plethora of outstanding individual performances. Josh High took 23 wickets, the 2nd highest in the APS. Liam Blackford, the leading run maker, totalled 400 with an average of 50 and his highest score of 154 against Melbourne Grammar. Other spectacular performances included Sam Geary's 6 for 9 off 12 overs including a game winning hat-trick.

The 10A season had a smattering of impressive performances across the field, highlighted by Oscar Dowling's superb 86 against Haileybury and Hunter Norman's 4 wickets against Scotch. Although they only picked up one win, the boys learnt a lot and formed strong bonds. Noah Guida and Oscar Dowling were rewarded with a call up for first selection. Thanks to the coaches Daniel Fanning and Adrian McCormack, for an enjoyable and influential season.

Our coaches Scott Lindsay, Greg Hansen, Richie Oliver, and Aaron Randall put a great amount of time and effort into our improvement as cricketers both on and off the field and were instrumental in our success this season. The 2nd XI team had a rewarding season based on teamwork and enthusiastic support for each other, with 2 wins from 7 games. A memorable win came against Carey Grammar who were bowled out for 197 with Lachie Martin ripping through the batting card taking 7/25. College then chased the total down, with 6 wickets remaining, in a solid batting performance from the top 6. The second win was against Geelong Grammar where they struggled to a total score of 77 but then rose to the challenge and defended the total by bowling GGS out to win by one run. A memorable day, with Ned Evans taking four catches in gully, along with Ned Hicks and Tom O'Brien leading the way with the ball. All the boys learnt a lot from coaches, Stephen Anastasiu and Steve Keating, and as a result, all improved during the season.

The lOCs had a good season. Despite a comprehensive loss in the first round, they bounced back, winning the final three matches with great batting from Freddie Day, Ethan Hickey, Angus Sweeney, and hard-hitting Oliver Hair. Many thanks to coaches David McNeal and Alice Hearn. The 9A season saw great performances by the whole team. Donny Shier hit a solid 43 runs to lead them to victory in their first match. Leo Bent's bowling and Callum Taylor's regular wickets led to more success. Thanks to the coaches Tim and Jason Doherty for a terrific season. Charlie Hurst, Captain

1st Cricket Quad Tournament On Sunday the 12th of January, the College 1st Cricket team flew to Adelaide to compete in the annual Quadrangular Cricket Tournament. This was played against our usual rivals, St Andrew's College Christchurch, Scotch College Adelaide, and Scots College Wellington. It consisted of three one-day and two T20 matches. After the Big Bash match on the Sunday afternoon, our first game of the carnival was on Monday against St Andrew's College. They batted first and posted a total of 211 in their 50 overs. Our bowlers toiled away with the top pick being Sterling Shier with his 3/ 44 off 10 overs. Our batting disappointed with a total of 130 all out; the only performance of note was from Liam Blackford who posted a classy 63 off76 balls. The second game was against the home team, Scotch College Adelaide. We bowled and Scotch posted a competitive total of 197. Josh High and Noah Guida claimed 2 wickets each, giving the batters a total to chase. We chased the runs down with one over to spare in our innings. It was a quality performance and we gained our first win of the tournament. On Day 4 we played Scots Wellington New Zealand. With Charlie Hurst having no luck on the coin toss, we bowled first again. Scots Wellington made 23 7, the highest total of the carnival. We knew we had a tough challenge ahead and unfortunately were not able to rise to the occasion. We made 179 all out with Liam again making a well-fought 4 7. After the 50 over matches we had a record of one win and two losses, finishing equal 3rd. The next day we had a day off and went into Glenelg to enjoy some free time. This was a great opportunity for the team to bond and have some fun. The final day consisted of two T20 games. We won both convincingly with big hitting from Baxter Bingham, Sam Geary and Ed Kol, as well as Noah Guida making his maiden College first 50. The fast bowling cartel consisting of Josh High, Ned Hicks, Noah Guida and Sam Geary were phenomenal over this series. However, Ed Kol taking 6 wickets in two games was a highlight along with "Captain Courageous", Charlie Hurst's quickfire starts in games. The College boys were lucky enough to win the T20 Series and take home the silverware. Charlie Lazzaro, Vice-Captain

Rowing For the 203 coxswains and rowers who competed for the College in 2020, the season was an enjoyable and rewarding one. All 30 crews across the program showed enthusiasm and determination in training and in racing. The camaraderie that was formed around the sheds as well as impressive regatta performances were markers of the success of the squad. The girls rowing squad comprised Three Senior Coxed Eights Year 10 Coxed Eights Five Year 10 Coxed 4s Eight Year 9 Coxed Quad Sculls The Girls 1st VIII had an impressive season, notably placing 3rd at the Australian Henley regatta. At the Rowing Victoria State Championships regatta, the girls were going faster than ever. They beat their rivals Geelong Grammar, which left them hungry for HOSG and HOR.

The Girls 2nd VIII improved massively over the season, resulting in some close racing. They earned a close 4th place at the Australian Henley regatta, and ended their season strongly, sending themselves into the semi-finals ofHOSG before the regatta's unfortunate cancellation. The Girls 3rd VIII began their racing extremely well, placing 3rd at the Melbourne Head regatta, rowing consistently over the Yarra course. This crew progressed sensationally over the season and should be proud of their efforts, they rowed an excellent heat race in the HOSG. The Year 10 girls had a great season, showing themselves to be a very determined and capable squad, proving next year they will be a year level to watch out for. The Year 9 girls also had an impressive first season, showing vast improvements across all crews. The boys rowing squad consisted of Three Senior Coxed Eights Three Year 10 Coxed Eights Seven Year 9 Coxed Quad Sculls

The Boys 1st VIII began their Term 1 racing with a 3rd place finish at the Barwon regatta. Their racing improved as the season progressed, picking up a 2nd placing at the Head of Schoolboys regatta and looking strong going into the end of the season. The Boys 2nd VIII was a formidable crew, their teamwork and consistent effort shone through in their racing. Notably, they claimed a 2nd placing in the Men's U19 VIII at the Rowing Victoria State Championships, a 2nd placing at the Head of the Schoolboys, and a 1st placing at the Wendouree Ballarat Regatta in the Schoolboys 2nd VIII Division. The Boys 3rd VIII was formed at the beginning of Term 1. The crew quickly gelled, showing their preparedness to work hard to improve their fitness and technique. They became faster and faster on the water, consistently outdoing themselves with their performances at regattas. The Year 10 boys proved to be a strong squad, and their effort throughout the season was consistent and commendable, indicating that the 2021 senior squad will be made up of hardworking rowers. The Year 9 boys had a fantastic first season of rowing, approaching the sport with endeavour and drive and taking it up to their rivals on regatta days.

For the first time in more than a decade the boys Division 1 crew won a bronze medal at the Junior State Championships, the Division 4 crew also won a bronze medal at the Head of Schoolboys Regatta. We want to thank our coaches for their endless efforts over the 2020 season. From all coxswains and rowers we would like to thank the hard working and very supportive rowing staff; Lucy Pring, Erica Gibbs, Amanda Jackman and Jane Sampson as well as our Director of Rowing Peter Blanchfield, with whom we had the pleasure of sharing his last season in the role. We would also like to give a shout out to our College Boatman Neil Fletcher, thank you for another great season. Finally, we thank the Rowing Parents Support Group. The continued support you show our coaches and crews does not go unseen. We hope the next generation of rowers continue to enjoy the delicious Saturday morning BBQs as much as we did.

Boys Tennis The 2019-201st team had an enjoyable season. The boys were persistent, worked hard from the beginning and never looked back. Competing against some of the best tennis players in Victoria every weekend is a tough challenge mentally and physically. The boys did a fantastic job to continue to give their best efforts until the last point of their match, regardless of the score. After a tough first four rounds, we came out firing against Carey Grammar to win 10 sets to 6, becoming the first TGC 1st tennis team in 10 years to beat a Melbourne School. It was a very rewarding win for us as we had worked so hard to get there. Although falling short to Melbourne Grammar and Geelong Grammar by narrow margins, we played some great tennis and had both teams under pressure at various points in the day. We will sorely miss Beau Allan, Max Kokalis, Ethan Tran and Sam Rowbottom, our Year 12s this year. Each of them contributed to building a strong culture within the team and played pivotal roles on a weekly basis. For the rest of us, next season is going to be a big one with the likes of Max Booker and Tom Mason going in with another year of experience in their respective seedings. James Afford and Luis Salla will continue to demonstrate improvement, while young guns Lachie Bliss and Archie Frost constantly prove to be valuable assets for our team now and going into next season. Thanks to my vice-captains Sam Rowbottom and Max Booker for helping to set the high standard that was aimed for as a team at the start of the year. Also a huge thank you to Matt Hicks - we appreciate the knowledge that you bring to the team and are so lucky to have a coach who is top 50 in the world at the moment, having also coached the Victorian state team on multiple occasions.

The 2nd Boys, led by Nathan Mayes, were consistent across the season with an even spread of wins and losses. The team were also even in skill level, making it a challenge for Nathan to pick the order each week. Oli Parks, Jono Fisher and James Lawrie were able to add the most pressure to the opposing teams, having consistent seasons on the court.

The 3rds, 4ths and Sths teams had challenging seasons but came away with a few close wins, facing some strong opposition and continually improving. Strong performances from Xavier Muhor and Sam Milner helped the 3rds to be competitive, while Josh Newton and Jesse McNamara battled hard to give the 4ths a winning chance. The Sths, including Reuben High and Will Wright, were consistent. Thanks to Mr Conway, Mr Bauer, Ben Flynn, and Nicholas Brimacombe for their tireless work in coaching and helping out on Saturdays. In the Year 10s, the l0B team were coached by the wise Phil Rich, and led by Max Knight, Oscar Jarman and Bailey Cullen. They had a great season and ended up with a strong record of 6 wins and 1 loss. Led by Ms Hallows, the l0Cs had many wins and a few extremely close matches, resulting in draws on two occasions, which is rare in APS tennis. Isiah Wood and Indigo Daly provided some of the team's best tennis throughout the season. Both Year 9 teams had promising seasons. Coached by Mr Morgan, the 9Cs with great help from Tom Afford, Lachie Allan and Patrick Johnson managed to win almost all of their matches and pulled off the biggest win of College's tennis season, winning 9 sets to 0 against Caulfield, only dropping 12 games for the day. It was the 9As who were College's most successful team coached by Bianca Duff, with the likes of Tom Greer, Arthur Zhang, Rex Furphy, Will Cullen and Josh McCann. A talented bunch; they powered through the season undefeated. The future of Geelong College tennis is certainly bright. Thank you to all the coaches who put in many hours to assist all the players throughout the season and Trudy Booker and the Parents Support Group who put in many hours to helping out with the spreads and tennis events. A massive thank you to Mrs Filling who has been teacher in charge of tennis for 20 years and will be finishing in her role as Teacher in Charge. Over the years, Mrs Filling has put many hours of work into making tennis such a great sport to be a part of at The Geelong College. Zac Norton, Captain

Girls Tennis The 2019/2020 1st Girls' tennis season was an extremely exciting but 'bumpy' one. There were many cold mornings and steaming hot afternoons with tough, challenging trainings as well as many long-fought Saturday matches. There was an abrupt ending to the season late in Term 1 which meant that the tennis community could not celebrate their many achievements. The 1st team consisted of players from Years 7 to 12, with the unique qualities and talents of each player combining to bringing out the best in one another. The girls finished sixth on the APS ladder with three wins. There was an amazing quality of sportsmanship displayed as they competed against the APS and AGSV schools. Our team's lasting impression on other schools was our ability to be kind and fair in the challenging games. The team thrived on encouraging each other to stay motivated. This was implemented by our coach Evie Dominikovic. She pushed and inspired the girls to play to their full potential as she encouraged each player while training and competing. This was reflected in the hard-fought games on hot Saturdays as her attitude of "never giving up" motivated all players. I would like to give a special thank you to my Vice-Captain, Georgie Cullen. She has been extremely supportive and a role model for the younger players. Huge congratulations to all girls in the team as you worked extremely hard and helped make the final season for Georgie and me wonderful. I feel very confident that the team is in safe hands with these amazing girls. The 2nd Girls had a successful season with their dedicated coach, Sue Anderson, supporting the team to gather an amazing six wins, two losses and one draw. They fought immensely hard in a nail-biting game, winning against Mentone with a one-game difference. The 3rd Girls Blue had many tough matches but always played with high spirits and worked hard to improve against their tough competitors. Their coach Claudia Conway led them to victory with three wins against challenging schools.

As the season progressed, they improved and developed their game of tennis. The 3rd Girls Green commenced APS matches at the start of Term 1. They had a 'rocky' season as a number of games were unfortunately cancelled by their opposition, however, they did play a number of challenging and tough matches. Coreena Cleland coached the girls, encouraging and improving their skills in each training session, as well as being a positive and cheerful mentor on game day. The Inter A Girls had an incredibly successful season that was a consequence of their eagerness to improve and their drive to win. Their six wins and only one loss were cemented by their coach Ryan Meehan. He challenged the girls during well-organised training sessions which resulted in a large improvement in their game over the season. The Inter B Girls team had a consistent season, gaining four wins with many close matches. The encouragement of their coach Olivia Price improved their skills and increased their knowledge of game play. A massive thank you goes to Mrs Filling for coordinating a very unusual season. She organised teams, coaches, training sessions and matches. Mrs Filling attends the Saturday home games and trainings with a huge smile, encouraging each player with her favourite phrase "go girls!". Each student who has had the privilege of Mrs Filling coordinating tennis thanks her for her ongoing support and motivation. I would personally like to thank Mrs Filling as she has played a major role for many years in the College tennis community. Thank you to all the coaches who provided a challenging and exciting season for all players. Thanks also go to the Tennis Parent Support group, led by Mrs Trudy Booker, for organising welcome events, the Family Tennis Day and the amazing spread that is appreciated each and every Saturday morning.

Juliette Sillitoe, Captain

Boys Badminton The 2020 boys' badminton season was one full ofjoy and promising results across all three teams. While the boys faced some interesting and unexpected circumstances, everyone approached each training session and APS match with strong determination to hone their skills and reach for greater heights. Their positive and sustained attitude was the highlight of the season, and this was reflected in their many successes. The Year 9 team, mainly consisting of beginners ranging from Years 7 to 9, persevered through a very challenging season. For many, this was their first experience of badminton, so I commend them all for their efforts. Coached by Joshua Skuza and Daniel Thomson, the boys learnt many new techniques and improved quickly. Although the Saturday matches were not always their forte, what stood out was their strong desire to improve. It was also pleasing to see a variety of players receiving 'Best Player' for weekend matches, demonstrating development across the whole team.

The 3rds, which consisted of Senior School students, played strongly in their division. Coached by Mr Kristiansen and Adam Bell, the boys only lost one extremely close game of 5 rubbers to 7 against St Kevin's College, winning every other match against strong Melbourne schools. This is not only testimony to their high level of skill, but also to their consistency, individually and as a team. Their best players throughout the season were Johnny Pendlebury and the vigorous duo, Robbie Taylor and Archer Drummond. Congratulations to all the boys! Our top team, the 2nds, performed consistently at the peak of their abilities throughout the season, earning their undefeated title. Although the mid-season departure of our previous coaches, George and Mim Lee, was unanticipated, the boys were able to stay strong and push through the term under the guidance of badminton guru Kenneth John, and new coach Adam Bell. Some notable highlights of the season were a perfect score win against Brighton Grammar, a strong performance of 10 rubbers to 2 against Wesley College, and a very astonishing win of7 rubbers to 5 against Caufield Grammar, who included highly accomplished players from their 1st division team. In addition, almost every player received 'Best Player' during the season, reflecting their individual achievement and as a team. They should all be very proud of the amazing results and their hard work that let the team reach that pinnacle. None of this would have been possible without the tremendous support from our dedicated coaches and staff. I would like to express my biggest gratitude to Monsieur Lairs, whose diligent organisation helped our games and trainings to run smoothly, as well as George and Mim Lee for their expert guidance over the past 10 years - you will be greatly missed. It has been an absolute honour captaining the boys, and I am confident that College badminton has a very bright future.

Girls Badminton The badminton 2019-2020 season was challenging and successful for both teams with new and experienced players displaying their talent on the court. It was a pleasure to see the girls learn and grow so much over the season. Their hard work and determination at training paid off during Saturday matches, The girls always played with enthusiasm and showed incredible team spirit, no matter the end results, The seconds had a fresh start in Term 4 with a range of experienced players, The girls showed their determination during trainings and polished their techniques and skills. After being smashed by Wesley, they focused on their variety of shots and footwork. As the result of the challenging training sessions, they had successful wins against Wesley and Geelong Grammar. The thirds had an exciting season with a mix of experienced and new players, All girls improved their skills and focused on footwork. The new players quickly adapted to the skills needed and paid close attention during trainings, Although the results were not the most desirable, the girls learnt from their opponents and continued to work hard. I would like to thank the teachers in charge and coach for their dedication. Thank you, Monsieur Lairs, Madame Tymms and Ms Shen for organizing everything and showing patience and supporting the girls during trainings and matches, Finally, I would like to thank Kenneth John for his excellent coaching and encouragement.

Softball The 2019-20 summer sports season was very successful for all softball teams. Everyone's hard work both on and off the field was certainly evident, and all players and coaches should be proud. Under the coaching guidance of Lynne Wilmott, the Year 12 softballers playing in the 2nd Blue team had a very successful season winning every game bar one, With a team full of new recruits and only a couple of girls who have played since Year 7, it was destined to be an interesting season, Winning their last game against Yarra Valley 20 runs to 6 was a great way to finish off the season being the last for the whole team, The 2nd Green team coached by Shannon Dunn, also had a successful season winning most of their games, including the last game against Carey Grammar 22 runs to 1, their best score for the season. Developing their skills throughout the summer, these girls have significantly improved, and should be proud of how far they have come. The 3rd team coached by Kristen Pelletier, clearly worked hard this season, developing their skills and their understanding of the game. This season saw the junior girls develop together into a strong team, building new friendships and enjoying playing each Saturday, Thank you to all the coaches for their ongoing support and encouragement as well as their hard work and commitment this season. Everything they do has not gone unnoticed and we all appreciate them very much. A big thanks to Ms Pelletier and Madame Chabant for their work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. Congratulations to all the girls on their achievements this season. Catie Hodge, Captain

Boys Swimming Since Year 7, my first year of APS swimming, I couldn't wait to be like the Year 12 leaders. I vividly remember swimming in my first APS finals along with my peers looking out at the fully packed grandstand and hearing all the schoolboys cheering along their school. At the end of the night all the captains lined up at the front of the pool, results were read out, followed by cheers and dances performed by the winning school. I dreamed of doing this in my final year of APS swimming. Unfortunately, the 2020 APS Swimming finals did not end as hoped, which was devastating; COVID-19 got in the way. The season, however, was enjoyable and rewarding.

None of this could have been done without our coach Dean Alchin, who has done so much for all, we really appreciate your hard work. Mr. Phil Taylor, who has carried the Year 12s since day one as Teacher in Charge; we appreciate your passion and love for us. Current Teacher in Charge Mr. Matthew Taylor was an absolute pleasure to work with. Adding his specialties to what was already a sensational community, he began the task of looking at College swimming through a different lens. Finally, to Mrs. Porter, Ms. Sinnott and Mr. Cheatley, I thank you for allowing us to do what we love and organising the swimming events for 2020.

The team combined with our 'neighbours', Geelong Grammar, to form the Geelong Combined team. All the boys got to know one another, and it was great to see participants continually trying to improve their fitness and skills. Saturday mornings were taken up with combined training or travelling to Melbourne where we competed against other APS schools.

It was an honour to be Captain of swimming. I'm proud to say APS swimming and being part of The Geelong College swim team has done a lot for me. The connections made and being part of a team that competes and trains together has given me skills that can be used in the classroom and outside of school. Rupert Beaufoy, vice-captain and a good friend, has been an enormous help and a positive role model for everyone on the team.

Despite not coming away point winners from the Saturday meets, our determination and willingness to listen and learn set the scene for many PBs. The Year 12 boys and I leave the College swim team in the capable hands of those who follow. With young upcoming swimmers like our Year 7 butterfly relay team, Otis Frangos-Scanlan, Leon Liu, Luke Day and powerhouse swimmer Josh Wilkinson, swimming looks good for the future.

In March, not knowing that this was going to be our last meet of the year, The Geelong College competed against the independent schools of Geelong at Kardinia Aquatic Centre. Both the girls and the boys did an amazing job; everyone gave it their all, swam their best and enjoyed the day. The Year 12 boys including vice-captain Rupert Beaufoy, Jayden Pawsey, Patrick White and myself, swimming for the last time under the College cap, managed to pull off a memorable win.

Hopefully, we will meet again, either following the black line or in the many ocean events during the summer swimming season. Archie Vernon, Captain Archie has been a member of the Gee long College swimming team for six years. He has competed in a variety strokes and distances and has recorded wins against other APS athletes in butterfly and freestyle events. This season Archie made a significant contribution as Captain both in the water and on the pool deck where he mentored and supported other team members. Matthew Taylor, TIC

Girls Swimming Although the 2019-20 girls season looked different to previous seasons, it consisted of lot of fun and fast swimming. The season commenced in Term 4 2019 with training during the week and on Saturdays, often partnering up with Geelong Grammar for some friendly, cross-town competition. Despite struggling in numbers, the determination and hard work that the girls put into their training was certainly a match for our competitors. The beginning of2020 saw a new group of talent arrive to the team, as the fresh-faced and ever energetic Year 7s put on their College caps for the first time. One of the strengths of the team was our ability to get along well together, regardless of the difference between year levels. Many girls rose to the challenge of swimming outside their age group by joining older relay teams, and I would like to thank them for the excitement they showed at the opportunity to swim with some of the more senior girls on the team. One of the highlights was the annual GISSA competition, this year relocated to Kardinia pool. The girls were excited about the prospect of competing against other Geelong schools, particularly as the number of PBs achieved increased in the weeks leading up to the competition as their hard work began to pay off. Notable performances were Alice Kennedy placing 2nd in the S0m butterfly, Isabella Canty placing 2nd in the S0m freestyle and Evie Robinson placing 2nd in the S0m breaststroke.

Unfortunately, the season came to a rather disappointing and abrupt end, With the cancellation of APS Finals, the chance to show all the progress our team had made was not possible. However, I would like to encourage the girls to channel the disappointment they felt about not getting to race on the big stage at MSAC into determination to train even harder and swim faster next season.

I would like to thank our coaches, Dean Alchin and Liesel Fraser for all the hours they spent on the pool deck correcting our technique and encouraging us through tough training sets and races. Without your dedication to our team we would not have been able to achieve the times that we did, A big thank you goes to TIC of swimming, Mr Matthew Taylor, for organising the season so well and always supporting our team, I would also like to thank Ms Oates, Mrs Smith and Penny McDonald for helping out during our meets and at training. Finally, I would like to thank all of the girls for their hard work and dedication displayed throughout the season. I know that I speak on behalf of my vice-captain, Lucie Thompson, when I say that it has been a joy and privilege to lead you girls through our final season on the College team. I wish all of The Geelong College swimmers luck for their promising future seasons, Sophie Blackford, Captain Sophie has been a member of the Gee long College swimming team for six years. She is a specialist breaststroke swimmer, winning races in this discipline regularly at weekend APS competitions and was selected in the APS Representative team in 2019. Sophie has fostered a positive and collegial team spirit amongst all of the swimmers and has left a lasting legacy upon which others will be able to build. Matthew Taylor, TIC

APS Senior School Diving 2nd Row: Mr George Niewman, Scarlett Adams, Isaac Lazarus, Oliver Fernandez (Captain), Romy Nicholas, Isobel McDonald (Captain), Sienna Young, Sam Manning 1st Row Georgie Corner, Ava Carrington, Matilda Abikair, Keera Beasley, Lily-Mei Jacob-Mudford Coach: Mr George Niewman

Diving Over the short time of my appointment as APS boys diving captain I have seen a fantastic and steady improvement in training and competition. Divers improved their technique and achieved higher scores and PBs over the season. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the help of the coaches; Grace Byrnes, George Niewman, Courtney Gow, and Grant Nel. The team achieved high scores and placed in many of the APS competitions we had the pleasure of participating in. The divers enjoyed many highlights in training and meets, including two podium finishes on the 22nd of February. Harry West won the Ul 7 against MGS and Romy Nicholas won the U16 scoring 76.8 points, a new personal best. During the GISSA competition the team performed very well, placing first in most events with fantastic scores from everyone. This was the result of hard work, dedication, camaraderie, and enthusiasm that we all demonstrated on and off the boards. Due to the Corona virus, we were not able to participate in all the APS meets or the APS finals, but the team selected for the finals would have performed amazingly. Congratulations to all divers on a fine season and thank you to our coaches for helping improve our skills. Thanks, must also go to Mrs Ratcliffe, Mrs Shier and Mrs Browne for their support in running the table, announcing and collating scores that made the competitions and training sessions run so smoothly.

their dives. These younger girls are sure to become valuable members of the squad in the future. The GISSA competition saw our girls dominating the U16s with the top four spots taken by TGC with Tilly Carrington in first place. The Ul 7 girls took out the top three spots with Tilly Carrington in first place. Although the APS finals at MSAC were cancelled due to COVID-19, up until then, our girls never failed to push themselves and refine their dives. I am confident we would have performed spectacularly on the night. Our amazing season would not have been possible without our marvellous coaches George Niewman, Grant Nel, Grace Byrnes and Courtney Gow. They dedicated many hours and early mornings each week that were essential to our improvement. Working hard behind the scenes were Mrs Ratcliffe, Mrs Shier and Mrs Browne keeping everything in check and organised. Next season's squad will no doubt be just as talented, I wish them luck. Isobel McDonald, Captain

Oli Fernandez, Captain

This season was very fulfilling. We saw immense improvements in girls from all year levels and saw admirable dedication to their sport. Trainings were consistently attended and met with a constant craving to improve. Many of our girls placed in the top three in the weekend competitions against schools with much larger teams.

The diving squad was strong this year. Each of the 28 girls gave their all in every competition and showed improvement with the next. In the weekly competitions we had podium finishes from Summer Madden (our youngest APS team member), Lily-Mei Jacob-Mudford, Tilly Carrington, Sienna Young, Ruby Fouracre, Annabel Coutts and Ava Carrington, who also placed first in the House diving competition. The girls in the development squad worked diligently and with unparalleled enthusiasm to better

Winter Sport With the school in lockdown due to COVID-19, it was difficult to know whether APS winter sport would be up and running for Term 2. Preparations were well underway with selections running for all sports. Coaches were employed, teams entered, and fixtures were drawn up, only to be plunged back into uncertainty and the threat of another lockdown. Term 3 saw students return to school and training begin in earnest. Saturdays were restricted to intraschool fixtures with the only hope being a match against Geelong Grammar in the near future. This never eventuated unfortunately. However, the 1st and 2nd XVIII football teams did manage to play a game against St Joseph's College on Saturday 25th July with spectators and talent scouts lining the fences outside the College, to get a glimpse of the only game of football being played in Victoria! The College 1st XVIII defeated St Joseph's by 4 goals in a thrilling display of football skills. Internal netball, soccer, basketball and hockey matches were played in year levels with friendly competition being well received by the students. The junior teams played in a House competition whilst the seniors competed against College teams of commensurate ability where possible. Cross country runners ran and trained competitively around Geelong. After 3 weeks of Term 3, the state was shut down and all sport ceased once more. This was hugely disappointing, but the students appreciated the benefits of the sporting program offered within the school. Trina Porter, Head of Senior School Sport

Duke of Edinburgh Over the course of this year students have demonstrated creativity, innovation and leadership in their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. With the limitations imposed by this year's circumstances students have come up with different ways of continuing their Awards. The Award organisation was rapid in its response to the Pandemic providing guidelines to students on how they could continue activities within the new rules and our students responded. Some notable examples include one student who could no longer attend an aged care facility turning his attention to supporting Christ Church's meals program. Another student used the tools available through Remote Learning to support isolated children in his regional area through online conversations about reading, mathematics and sport. Another example was a student making masks at home and distributing them. Many students took to training individually as part of the Physical Recreation section with ongoing recognition and benefits to their health and learning. Another great result this year was the number of students who have completed their Award. Often the difference between completing the Award and not, is administration. In other words some students have completed the requirements, but it isn't indicated in their logs or an assessor report hasn't been completed.

164

With a greater focus being placed on ensuring the administration is completed 14 students (nine current and five past) have completed levels this year and there are a few more who only have a small number of hours to complete or are awaiting two or fewer assessor reports to complete their Award.

Congratulations to all students who completed Award levels this year and to Matthew Thacker, Harry Faull, and Jacqui Greer (OGC 2019) who completed their Gold Level Awards this year. Students completing Year 12 who haven't quite completed their Awards will remain part of the College's Award Centre until their sign off is complete. Currently more than 60 students across Senior School are registered for the Duke of Edinburgh Award and students can start as early as just before their 14th birthday. Please contact the Careers Centre if you would like further information. Adrian Blades, Careers Educator

The Geelong College Foundation Early in 2020 the Foundation completed its single most significant contribution to the school since its incorporation in 1987. The new Junior School (Campbell House) in Minerva Road has taken approximately 23 months to build and The Geelong College Foundation were pleased to financially contribute to the successful completion of this outstanding building. The new Junior School, designed by John Wardle (OGC 1971) from Wardle Architects, will enhance the learning of all our Early Learning to Year 3 students in the fabulous Reggio Emilia inspired space. To be able to assist the College with this exciting development has been a privilege for the Foundation Board and its Members. In this very challenging year, the generosity of the College community exceeded our expectations when we asked for assistance through our Annual Giving campaign. This year we asked for help to support students whose families had been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and were elated with the response to our appeal. Many students will benefit from the wonderful contributions to our Scholarship Fund and the Dr Bill Williams Tjungurrayi Scholarship and as always our beautiful heritage buildings will benefit from those that supported our Building Fund. Thank you to our wonderful College community who never fail to provide assistance when it's needed. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we haven't been able to host any Foundation events this year. We were only days away from holding our Members' Lunch in March when it had to be cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. We look forward to welcoming back our community to our 2021 events which will include the Members' Lunch, the Morongo Lunch for Morongo Old Collegians, our Community Golf Day, morning tea for our Morrison Society members and the Melbourne drinks event we co-host with the OGCA.

The annual Foundation Concert could not be held this year which meant that the Year 12 music students missed their opportunity to celebrate the culmination of their music journey at the College. In lieu of this, the Foundation presented each of the Year 12 music students with a book, The Element by Sir Ken Robinson, to acknowledge their music commitment to the school. We wish all of the Year 12 students well with their future endeavours.

Applications for our 2021 Foundation Fellowships were put on hold this year and our 2020 Fellowship recipients' plans have been deferred until 2021 due to travel restrictions. This is an important program which provides opportunities for staff to develop professionally by increasing their skills and enhancing their global awareness and we look forward to the program recommencing next year. The Board welcomed a new member in February when Anna Webb was elected to the Board of Management to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Ms Suzanne Mockridge at the end of 2019. Anna is a current College parent and has been a wonderful addition to the Foundation Board this year. After seven years as President of the Foundation, I will be stepping down in February next year although I will continue as a member of the Board. It has been a great privilege to hold the role of President and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Foundation Board members, the Principal Dr Peter Miller, the Council Chairman Dr Hugh Seward AM and the Community Relations team for their support and involvement in the Foundation. Much has been achieved, the Foundation continues to grow and provide significant assistance to the College and its students. My best wishes are extended to the incoming President.

Farewells Marita Seaton When Marita Seaton joined the College in 2011 as the Middle School Art Coordinator, she had an instant impact on the Visual Art program, bringing with her a fresh approach to all areas of the Art curriculum. Marita turned the Art Centre into a living art environment, adding bright colours and student artwork to the white walls, leading innovative programs, and enhancing and developing technology across the curriculum. Marita embraced the framework that the College's Vision for Learning provided that allowed students to grow and thrive through the development of the key learning dimensions: Identity, Creativity, Thinking, Communicating, Contributing, Creating and Enterprising. She extended the learning of art beyond the classroom walls, including the wonderful experiences of the Art Immersion camp, the Boats' Unit and 'Rome Day' and the coordination of annual vibrant art exhibitions. Unique in her approach to all she does, Marita showed great flair and passion in her teaching during her time at the College. She quickly became involved in the life of the College beyond the walls of the Art classroom. She was a part of The Geelong College Challenge staffing team. Her personal love of sport was shared with the students through her involvement in the APS program and the role of Coordinator of the Middle School Hockey program for a number of years. Marita's experience in the Performing Arts and expertise in audio visual backdrop and set design made her a vital member of the Year 8 Production team. Marita has taught and mentored many young people in her time at the Middle School, not just through our pastoral care structures, but beyond this in her enthusiastic involvement in other extra-curricular opportunities such as the Cre8 projects, Year 8 camp, and the annual overnight Art Immersion experience. Early in 2018 she moved into her most recent leadership role as the Middle School Leader of Learning, a challenge she enthusiastically embraced. Marita inherited the Year 7 Learning to Learn program after it had only been in existence for 12 months. She and her team of teachers continued to develop this program and its offerings across the following three years. Marita also spent the first year of her tenure as the Leader of Learning redefining the Year 8 elective program, giving students more choices in their learning and introducing new subjects and opportunities for them in the process. Marita showed great care for the Middle School staff, providing pathways to strengthen teaching practices. She nurtured staff through the implementation ofSEQTA, encouraging teachers to look at student feedback and explore a variety of approaches to assessment. Marita worked to embed the growth mindset approach in the Middle School, making the student's capacity for growth a primary focus. Another important part of this role was in her membership of the College's Academic Executive, a cross-school leadership group to which Marita contributed richly. Her creativity and dedication to student learning are unquestionable. Marita has decided to leave the College as she seeks to continue her personal and professional growth in a new setting. We thank Marita for the significant contribution she has made to the College over the past 10 years and wish her every success for whatever it is the next chapter brings. Leanne Russell

Farewells Pat Clark It is difficult to summarise Pat Clark's 21 years at The Geelong College in just a few short paragraphs. Her involvement in all facets of The College has been significant, not only as a valued member of the Science, Art and Maths Departments, but also as Audio-Visual Coordinator, McArthur House Tutor, Staff Association Committee member and the school's IEU representative. Pat began her career at The College in the Science and AV departments. She took over at a time when the student laptop program was in its infancy and teachers were still using overhead projectors and VHS tapes. As AV coordinator, Pat has been instrumental in keeping the College updated on all things AV. From VHS to projectors to ViVi and PA integrated emergency management systems, the variety of technologies she had to install, implement, setup and train staff on is mind boggling. Always done with a smile and a positive attitude. She also quickly established herself as the resident school photographer. Having a background in photography, her photos beautifully captured the workings of The College and constantly graced the pages of school publications such as Pegasus and Ad Astra. They were also used in video productions and end-of-year celebrations, many of which Pat herself created. Each video production was a testament to Pat's hard work, commitment to getting it just right and the many, many hours of dedication. Pat has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when assisting Community Relations with the set-up of AV for events at school and the Valedictory Ceremony at Costa Hall. One email was all it took. Pat would never forget to check the Dining Hall microphone set-up and ensure there were spare batteries! Always so friendly and ready for a chat, Pat will be missed by the Com Rel team. We'll particularly miss her email signoff: "I will attend and bring my mate the PA!" Pat always attempted to accommodate AV requirements for weddings and other events where she could. Nothing was ever too difficult. She was always willing to ensure that hirers were happy with the AV service provided to them and would go out of her way to do so. In her time at The College, Pat has taught across the Science, Maths and Art Departments and has had close ties with the Library Department. Combined with her cross-campus AV Coordinator role, she has developed strong collegial connections across the school. Always willing to put her hand up to help others, Pat has assisted, advised and supported her colleagues on a variety of issues. She has wholeheartedly embraced her roles as IEU representative and employee advocate. As well, she was for many years an active member of the SS Staff Association, organising very memorable staff functions and get-togethers. As a valued member of the Geelong College Exploration Society, she has participated in the Kokoda and Bibbulmun Track expeditions and assisted students to engage with and enjoy the challenges of remote hiking. Above all the extra roles Pat has taken on - including her participation in City Week, Politics and Fulfilling Lives Programs - the welfare and education of her students was the most fundamental. Pat has great rapport with her students. With her quirky sense of humour and quick wit, the relationships she has developed with the many students in her care have ensured her classes are engaging and inspiring. Her own "never give up - just give it a go" attitude encourages students to always try their best. Being a passionate McArthur House Tutor since her first year at The College has also ensured her blood runs black. Her passion, enthusiasm and commitment to the staff and students of McArthur has always been evident, especially on House Athletics and Swimming days. Pat has been a tutor to many students, looking after their pastoral care and helping to guide each tutee'sjourney through the Senior School. She will be greatly missed and we sincerely thank her for the way she has helped to make McArthur House the warm and friendly place that it is today. We thank her for her substantial contributions to The College, its staff and students. She will be sorely missed by all. We wish her every happiness for the future and hope that she will allow herself to take a well-earned rest! Andrea McGucken, Philip Taylor, Mike Howell, Mark Nurnaitis, Tiffany Looker

Farewells Claire Bartlett Claire Bartlett has been a member of The Geelong College Community for almost 13 years. For ten of those years Claire was a valued member of Middle School where she taught across Year 4, 5 and 6. She oversaw the English Curriculum and in her final year at Middle School stepped into the Year 4/5/6 Area Leader role - a position she took very seriously, with an open door policy for her staff, students and families. For the last three years I was privileged to work closely with Claire in her role as Deputy Head of the Junior School. Claire is a passionate educator. The children come first and foremost. Claire has been dedicated in her support, leadership and the ongoing improvement of the Reggio Emilia inspired approach to education. She has advocated for whole staff understanding of how we intertwine our environment, curriculum and pedagogy. In 2019 Claire was part of our Leadership Team when we were awarded the Victorian Department of Education's auspicious Professor Collette Taylor Emeritus Early Years award for Excellence in Educational Leadership. Claire has been an influential and all-round sustainability warrior leading best practice in caring for and rejuvenating our environment across The Geelong College. Whilst leading the 4/5/6 team Claire supported the ongoing development of the Enviro Year and co-led the College's Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) Committee. She has shared this work by co-presenting at the Waste Education Conference on the benefits for young people when engaging in sustainability. Claire has made some wonderful connections and friends during her time at the College and navigated her role as both parent and educator with poise and professionalism. Claire will be beginning an exciting adventure in her professional career as she begins her new role as a school Primary Principal. While Claire will be deeply missed, we are also very excited for her and the new opportunities which lie ahead. Sondra Wood

Jane Leyshon Jane Leyshon commenced at The Geelong College in February 2018 in the newly created position of Indigenous Student Support Teacher and more recently as a residential tutor at Mossgiel. During her three years with us, Jane's commitment to our Indigenous students has been outstanding. She has been an important advocate for them, and a crucial link between the school and their families. Jane has built relationships of trust, warmth and deep care for her students. She has also led the way for College to be a culturally safe learning place for our Indigenous students. Jane has been instrumental in assisting us to develop The Geelong College Reconciliation Action Plan which has now been approved for a further twelve months. With her guidance we have been able to confidently map our way forward in our ongoing commitment to Reconciliation. She has offered exceptional leadership for us as we continue to build our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture within and beyond the classroom. Through her own experiences in remote communities, she has helped us to appreciate and respect more deeply how place defines so much of Indigenous culture. At Mossgiel, Jane was a regular fixture around the firepit. Here and elsewhere, her positive and compassionate outlook was valued by both staff and students alike. Her careful and nurturing support of the Indigenous students in a year when they could not return home was both personal and professional and a significant help to teaching staff also striving to pastorally assist this group. Jane's ready laugh and generous rapport with the girls will be missed in the Boarding House. We offer our thanks to Jane for the time she has spent with us and we wish her well as she plans her future adventures. Joan Gill (Director of Student Wellbeing - Programs), Leigh Knight (Head of Mossgiel)

Helen Plumridge Helen commenced her teaching career at Campbell House in 2009. She was unique in many ways and one of the most inspirational, creative educators that I have had the pleasure to work alongside. What were the qualities that made Helen such an inspiring teacher, who made so many wonderful life-long memories with the Campbell House students? Number one, she valued and cared about every idea, connection, original thought, comment, and conversation that the children entered the Art Room with. Together they explored, collaborated, discussed, and created some amazing pieces of art. No idea was too small, no connection dismissed. Creativity was given the freedom of expression in each child's unique learning style. In the spirit of Reggio Emilia, the 100 languages of children were accessed in an environment where creativity flourished. Her amazing artwork with the children added the 'Wow' factor to many Campbell House dramatic productions. Fantastic Mr Fox and Jungle Book Kids were two standouts, where the children and Helen worked tirelessly to create sets, props, and costumes to create stunning visual performances. Priceless memories are etched in my mind of the looks of wonder on the children's faces as collaborative projects took shape and ideas became reality. The process was valued as much as the result. No Campbell House Athletics Carnival was complete without Mrs Plumridge's famous obstacle course! With her distinctive style, Helen created a course that all the children loved. They ran, laughed,jumped, twirled around the colourful, unique course and it was always a highlight of the day. Helen also gave her time generously and freely to both staff and students. Children knew that Mrs Plumridge was always there for them in the Art Room, for all creative projects. She created a safe, nurturing environment where special projects were initiated, ideas explored, and boundaries pushed. Many treasured creations and memories will be fondly remembered by our students as they reflect on their time in the Campbell House Art room. Thank-you Helen for your significant contribution to the creative development of the Campbell House students. Your wisdom, kindness, care, patience, generosity of your time and talent will be remembered in the hearts of the many children whose lives you touched. Wishing you health and happiness for the next exciting chapters of your life. Edwina Davis

Justin Kristiansen At the end of Term 1, we said farewell to Justin Kristiansen, who left Geelong Grammar in 2014 to join us at the College where he taught Year 10 Commerce and VCE Accounting. As we say here, he departed our friends at Corio, for greener pastures! With Justin's exodus, there are many things that staff and students will remember and greatly miss. One of Justin's standouts was his ability to develop friendly classroom relationships. I haven't quite worked it out yet, but for some reason, his pupils affectionately referred to him as, "Doc". Justin believed that classes should be fun and energetic. This helped to explain his popularity. He communicated well with young people, put them at ease, took an interest in them and willingly offered extra help. As a member of the Business Studies Department for over six years, Justin was always very supportive, collegial and active in helping to improve some of our learning materials, especially those for Year 10 Commerce. In Morrison House, Justin mentored participation, and enthusiastically offered support and pastoral care. He knew the students at a personal level and helped to map their progress. In addition, Justin coached various school sporting teams, including his favourite activity, badminton. However, there is one area, where he is almost irreplaceable. Who will forget Justin's many humorous and articulate staff farewells, and end-of-year floorshows that he MC-ed in recent years? Certainly, these were very special performances that we all remember. As Justin heads off to live in Germany, all of us here would like to wish him and his family, every happiness for the future and their European adventure. We thank him for his many contributions to the life of the College. Richard Morris (Head of Business Studies)

Farewells Barbara Carlson Barbara has been an active member of the Geelong College Community in her 25 Years here. She was the Library Co-ordinator for 18 years, overseeing a range of changes and developments in information literacy. This role enabled her to extend herself professionally and present at a number of local, state and interstate conferences. She also brought people to the College organising a number of Library Seminars held at the Preparatory School. Barb cares for colleagues and student alike. She was a most active member of the OH&S committee for a number of years and has served as the Middle school Equal Opportunities rep. Barbara has also been the driving force behind many Middle School Social events often the first one there and the last to leave! Barb has taught children from Years 4 to 8 in Library, English, History and Geography. She always values and embraces her role as Learning Mentor at Year 7 &8 and established strong relationships with the students in her care and their families. Barbara's current focus is broadening children's reading experience so as to promote a love of literature. She has done this through projects such as the Year 7 Family Reading Project & Expo and the Collaborative reading sessions with Junior and Middle School students. We thank and congratulate Barbara on her 25 Years of service to the College. Leanne Russell

Bert Aalders Bert Aalders, our long serving Middle School Cleaning Supervisor, retired in late Term 1. Bert joined The Geelong College in 2000 and loved and took great pride in his position. He was always prepared to commit to his duties no matter how long each role took and was often to be seen still here out of hours as he ensured everything was to his satisfaction and ready for the ensuing day. Bert always generously sought ways to support teaching and administration staff and we were always confident that significant Geelong College Assemblies and special occasions had received his full attention and the set up and presentation of each area was immaculate. Important celebrations and events were always high on Bert's agenda and we were always proud of our school setting and the collaboration that had allowed for such presentation. Many of Bert's greatest joys have been with his family; holidays overseas with his sister and caring for younger family members. He has enjoyed being able to spend more time with them since he has finished and will miss the many friends he has made in his role at the Middle School. We wish Bert well in his retirement, with the opportunity to spend time with family and reflect on a role at the Middle School that will be long remembered and valued. Coral Turner

Emma O'Callaghan Emma joined The Geelong College in 2013 and worked as a teacher of History, Geography, English and Religious and Values Education throughout her time at Middle School. A passionate teacher, Emma connected easily with the Year 7 and 8 students and always worked hard to create engaging lessons and units of work. In 2014 she became the English Coordinator and continued leading the English staff until she was appointed to Year 7 Coordinator in 2016. Emma excelled in this position, overseeing the wellbeing and academic progress of our young students in their transition to secondary schooling at College. She worked tirelessly with students and staff to improve the classroom environment and layout, and proactively made changes to support the learning environment for all. Her commitment to the Rowing program was to be admired, so too her willingness to be involved in every facet of school life. Emma has been a mentor and friend to many on staff. In 2018, Emma and Nick started their family - since that time we have missed her bubbly personality, chats around the staffroom table, the Aminya Laine woollen cardis and her thermomix goodies. We thank Emma for her contribution to the life at The Geelong College and wish her and her family all the best for their next adventure. Georgina Rolls
