College Council It's Spring as I write, the grass is green, the sky is shades of blue and there are hints of sunshine and optimism in the air. Spring is a time of growth and renewal, a time of promise with the hint of warm days to follow. It is a time of hope, a time for a fresh start, for cleaning out the old and preparing for the new. These are events that we have been longing for against the backdrop of the last two years, As the gardens around the school grounds and the local region leap into life, we are reminded a new season is here. The new growth also prompts us to look to the new beginnings ahead. However, it is also a time to reflect on our origins. This has been another big year for The Geelong College and our community. The 160-year history of the school is cause for celebration, but it is also a reminder of the commitment and investment that has been made in the past to develop the fabulous school and facilities that we have today, The motto of'160 Years Strong' is a good reminder of the resilience needed to continue to develop and grow. It is timely to consider what we can do now to 'give forward' for the benefit of those who follow. The Bellerin Project is an example of how we can contribute to the future of our school for the benefit of students and families, not just current but those to come, This is an exciting time that will enable the development of the much-needed gymnasium, with sport and exercise facilities. The development will also allow the inclusion of new learning and multipurpose spaces. We owe it to the heritage of our school to do this in a way that is sympathetic to the Senior School campus, Historical in context, but modern in design to reflect the contemporary needs of students and teaching, enabling us to future proof these facilities for the school into the foreseeable future, I am indebted to the hard work of the College Council and the school executive, particularly the planning and finance committees, for the hard work and vision required to bring this project to a state ofreadiness that will enable work to commence in the new year. It is amazing the amount of hard work that is required in the background to get a landmark project such as this just to a starting point, This preparation must be undertaken before a shovel even touches the ground. We are grateful to all the staff who are committed to the progress of the project.

The design of John Wardle Architects, who have again created an iconic vision that we can be proud of, is both striking and sensitive. It is sympathetic to the school environment and the architectural landmarks that make up the Senior School. Embarking on projects of this scale gives a true appreciation of the vision and foresight that went into the many wonderful buildings that already make up our school. It also helps appreciate how quickly new spaces become part of the fabric of

the school and settle into their place. This can be witnessed in the award-winning Junior School campus, that sympathetically embraced Campbell House and is now part of the daily fabric of the school. The stop-start nature of2021 is not quite what we had envisaged at the end of last year. Once again staff, students and families have impressively risen to the occasion. This was particularly seen with online learning; being able to switch in and out, usually at very short notice, shows impressive commitment. The Council and I are extremely grateful for the additional effort by staff, students and families for the benefit and continued engagement of students. Coming to the end of2021 has also highlighted the importance that work on a child safe environment has to our school community. A safe school is fundamental to the principles we abide by. I implore and thank the school community for their support in this space, as it is a responsibility that we all share. The highest standard of a nurturing and child safe environment for all our students is the minimum we can accept, and I want to applaud the ongoing work and commitment that has been put into place across the whole of The Geelong College. The leadership of Dr Peter Miller has been tireless, with the support of the school executive, backed by the commitment of the staff. This is an area that needs to remain at the forefront of our minds, In closing I would like to thank the staff for their hard work across a challenging year, the students for their resilience and flexibility, our school families, and the community for their ongoing support. I wish you all the very best wishes for a happy and safe Christmas, with both fingers crossed that we can all share some very important quality time with family and friends and that the travel restrictions will ease to allow this to happen. As we move from this year, into the next, Spring reminds us that hope is renewed, Professor Richard Page, College Council Chair

Principalws Report For over 100 years Pegasus has annually documented the activities and achievements in the life of The Geelong College. In fact, a set of Pegasus magazines from 1918 to the current day are held in the Principal's Office as an invaluable permanent record as well as a reminder of how our actions today contribute to the history of the College. It may surprise you that I read over these old issues from time to time in an effort to understand more of how our past has informed the present and might shape our future. Therefore, I trust this Pegasus entry may provide some insight into 2021 for current and future members of our community. When recounting 2020 in last year's Pegasus there was a sense of optimism as well as weariness regarding COVID-19. Optimism was fuelled by an impression that the global pandemic was improving and the development of effective vaccinations was well advanced. Our weariness was due to two extended periods of lockdown in Victoria, Remote Learning and anticipation of what might happen. The reality of 2021 has been quite extraordinary for us, with even higher levels of uncertainty. It has been a roller-coaster for all of us. School operations during Terms 1 and 2 were relatively uninterrupted in some aspects while paralysed in others. Social gatherings took place and we were able to enjoy a range of important events, but both our Music Program and community service engagement were significantly altered. Students were generally able to continue sport activities in the first half of the year. The absence of spectators at most events eased in time for the annual Derby Day with Geelong Grammar on 22 May. However, this was to be the last major community event on the College grounds for the year. Term 3 presented extraordinary challenges. The movement into and out of Remote Learning at very short notice was unsettling but necessary as we looked to be able to provide lessons for students on site and minimise time in Remote Learning. Term 4 was less interrupted, with the easing of restrictions encouraging optimism on the basis of vaccination rates that are the envy of the world. A staged return from the final week of Term 3 through the first two weeks of Term 4 allowed our students to reconnect with College life and their peers. This was particularly important for our Year 12 students whose VCE examinations remained unchanged this year.

In the December 1919 Annual Report the Principal wrote: "I have been well pleased with the conduct of the boys (students), and also with the work they have done in the class-room in spite of the difficulties which they had to

contend during the first term" (Pegasus December 1919: 36). The Spanish Flu pandemic had closed the school for the first month of the year. Senior students were kept "in touch with their work by means of a system of correspondence tuition" (Pegasus December 1919: 37) in the days before electronic communication. The Principal goes on to say: "It is obvious that such a system cannot prove very efficient in the case of boys (students) whose work needs constant and personal attention; still it was the best plan we could adopt in the circumstances" (Pegasus December 1919:37). It is clear that the limitations of Remote Learning remain unchanged despite the passing of 100 years. The benefits of students learning together and in the presence of their teachers remain strong. I am including these 102-year-old words in the 2021 Pegasus because they are as appropriate now as they were then. I have been very pleased with the application of students, their adaptability and the extraordinary work of their teachers along with all staff to facilitate student experiences this year. Our teaching and support staff have been truly remarkable in the face of many challenges. We are all grateful for the perseverance of our colleagues and the collective benefits we have enjoyed from the shared effort. Consistent with the expectations of the reader of this entry, I would like to focus upon the achievements of this year rather than the deficiencies encountered. There have been many wonderful moments in 2021 that warrant documentation and recognition. I trust you will gain a sense of this from this edition of Pegasus. In the centenary year of the Preparatory School we have seen the redeveloped Campbell House facility for our youngest students from Early Learning to Year 3 settle into its landscape.

GEELONG COLLEGE GE.E..LONG

The Reggio Emilia approach continues to inform the practices and shape the experiences of the children. It is a wonderful place to be, with flexible spaces and high levels of collaboration among teachers and students in their shared learning experiences. In the middle of the year we recovered the time capsule placed behind the foundation stone of the Preparatory School building now named the Austin Gray facility. To our delight, the contents of the glass jar were precisely as documented in the 1920 Pegasus including copies of Pegasus from that year, the latest College prospectus, the Geelong Advertiser of the day and some other papers. All were in first-class condition after their 100 years in darkness. At the time of positioning the time capsule, the College Council Chairman, Mr Charles Shannon, spoke of"the possibility of the finding of these records hundreds of years hence, when Geelong would have perhaps a population ofl00,000" (Pegasus December 1920:37). He went on to say that the people of that day would say of those who established the Preparatory School "What a far-seeing people they were to have provided for the College in this way." Mr Shannon was correct and we are all grateful for their vision. No doubt he would be stunned to hear College now has 1500 students and the population ofGeelong is in excess of250,000.

for parent groups across College. Despite the cancellation of events in Terms 3 and 4 the dedication of a nucleus of participants has kept all the groups alive. Our OGCA continues to be very active in a range of tasks including mentoring and connection within their ranks using state-of-the-art electronic tools to enable this. The Geelong College Foundation continues to provide active financial support for buildings, scholarships and staff professional learning opportunities through the Foundation Fellowship. The connectedness and purpose of these community groups have ensured each has continued to make important contributions to the life of the College. The Geelong College has been and continues to be strongly connected to the City of Geelong and to have an influence well beyond our region. The population of our city has far exceeded the lofty prediction of Mr Shannon in 1920. Yet the College Council of that day had the foresight to meet the needs of students at that time and to prepare for students of the future. This same challenge is presented to the College Council and wider community of today. We continue to ensure we honour our past, meet the needs of our current students and build a future for the College. The College Council continues to take on this challenge with enthusiasm and a strong sense of stewardship. We all understand that we take our place in history and, from time to time, we wonder how we will be viewed when the 2021 edition of Pegasus is read in 2121. Dr Peter Miller

In November, the original time capsule contents were replaced with new documents, including letters from current students and other items of the present day, and returned to safe keeping behind the foundation stone. This action is in anticipation of the stainless steel air-tight vessel being reopened in another 100 years. I cannot help but wonder what the students of those days will say upon viewing the contents of the vessel, let alone speculate as to the population ofGeelong in 2121. Despite the restrictions limiting travel to within Victoria and often less than 10 kilometres from home throughout 2021, we have been able to conduct each of the outdoor camps for our students across College. These outdoor experiences have taken on new meaning for our students following extended periods at home during the many lockdowns. The social interaction among students combines with other lessons about life to complement the academic benefits of being at school. To continue our focus on advancing College we have embarked upon a significant building project on the Senior School site. Informed by the revised Capital Master Plan of 2019, the gymnasium facility will be completely redeveloped and relocated to the western edge of the site, along Claremont Avenue. The building will contain three levels including a basement car park and grounds staff compound, a world-class double court gymnasium, extensive changing facilities, viewing areas and classrooms. The anticipated growth of the Senior School population to over 700 in the next three years requires the additional classroom area as well as the upgrading of existing classrooms across the Senior School. The difficulty of parental participation this year has been a source of some frustration and a little disappointment

When I think about our College I smile, The buildings that hold hundreds of stories, the people who create our rich community, the teachers who care and the effervescent atmosphere. I see a tapestry. A beautifully rich culmination of colours, threads and patterns; those who have gone before us, those of us who are graduating and those whose journeys are just beginning. A tapestry of every experience, every opportunity, every memory. every lesson, every chapter. We all have a tapestry, and although my time at the College is nearing a close; my tapestry is just beginning, When I imagine holding up this tapestry, I see my secondary schooling life in one place. A life of hardships, victories, fulfilment and life lessons; all harmonising to form a picturesque representation of the rewards College has provided. Not literal rewards; but those that have emerged from beneath the surface, The values I have inherited, the sights I have seen, the personalities I have come to befriend and the self-confidence I have gained are all glowing elements of my tapestry. I see unfinished edges and fraying threads, but I don't see these as the end, I see these as another beginning; a chance to continue to fabricate future aspirations and embrace the life ahead outside of this wonderful place I have been so comfortable in for many years. Our role as Co-Captains this year has been a central part of both of our tapestries. This role has not only tested our attitude to life but pushed us to reach for the things outside our comfort zones and achieve things that seemed unthinkable before this year, James and I have been so fortunate to have experienced many initiatives around the everchanging COVID-19 regime. From travelling to Adelaide for a Nation-wide leadership conference, to addressing the Foundation, and inviting the Geelong Grammar School to our turf for Derby Day. We are both extremely grateful for the times we have shared in this role and are beyond privileged for these opportunities. The final threads of our Geelong College tapestries are almost complete. We have handcrafted our tapestries to this point, and now the future awaits for us to weave a new chapter. Maggie Gilby, Co-Captain

Though I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I stepped into a leadership position at the beginning of the year, I hardly thought that 2021 would come with as much unpredictability as had 2020. And whilst I didn't expect to be in and out oflockdown this year, there's no doubt that it positioned our prefect team to lead in different, unexpected ways, Our first and foremost goal at the start of the year was to ensure transparency between the staff and the students and to promote an inclusive and interconnected student body. Importantly, we were still able to take the stage throughout the year. Whether to students in a COVID-amended Morrison Hall or virtual assembly, to staff at routine meetings, or to parents and alumni at one of a few Senior School events, Maggie and I have been thrilled to speak to each of the many members of the broader College community. Thanks to the fortunate breaks in restrictions and Microsoft Teams, we've been proud to communicate the school's ethos of academic curiosity, integrity, and compassion across a variety of formats, Reciprocally, it was most pleasing to be motivated and supported by the school in a time of isolation. We may have been confined close to home for most of the year, but the prefect team was able to raise awareness and money on Harmony Day, RU OK Day, and Wear it Purple Day. More locally, it was most enjoyable to welcome Geelong Grammar School to the College for the annual Derby Day, a stellar event. At the same time, the Senior School Parent Evening and Cocktail Night served as a great opportunity for Maggie and me to interact with the parents and to relate the happenings at College to them, The Geelong College Foundation and Council were also lovely company at various times across the year. We've learnt so much by exposure to the alumni, parents, staff, teachers, and of course, students. Nowhere else than at College could I imagine myself to have found as many passions, enthusiastic teachers, and close friends. It's been an unbelievable privilege to have had a role within this school, and the support networks to prepare for my tertiary education. We are both excited for life beyond secondary school as much as for the future of The Geelong College under the upcoming leadership team. James Afford, Co-Captain

In the certainty of uncertainties that 2021 presented, the Senior School community adapted to the equivocal rhythm of a second year with the COVID-19 pandemic. At times, snap lockdowns were exited with a snap return to campus, requiring extraordinary agility by our community pivoting in and out of Remote Learning. Our Houses were innovative in the way they continued to promote a sense of belonging and connectedness with initiatives ranging from the Early Risers competition to weekly Prefect messages for the Year 9s. On reflection, what has been achieved is remarkable. It is especially important to pay tribute to our Year 12 cohort who experienced a VCE far removed from their expectations. Through their camaraderie, a strong sense of optimism and most importantly, with the support of their family and teachers, they have navigated and achieved a significant milestone of which they should all be very proud. The 'Op Shop Formal' theme on the final day of Year 12 classes underscored their spirt and adaptability that will stay with them longer than the challenges of the past two years. The richness and diversity of our co-curricular program provides unique experiences and opportunities to represent the school but more importantly to work together towards a common goal, whether that be on the stage or on the sporting field. We are immensely proud of our students and recognise the enormous effort that staff commit to making these programs not only enjoyable but ones where our students can showcase their talents and efforts. Our gifted musicians showcased their talents at the Night at the Proms. The evening featured the String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, and many very talented soloists. Our VET music bands delivered numerous performances featuring original contemporary performances that were always very well received by enthusiastic audiences. The fun and pageantry of the House Music competition further exhibited the musical ability within our community with entertaining performances from the Massed Choirs and Small Groups. Our sporting teams were fortunate to complete a largely full summer offixtures with our rowers competing with their trademark determination at the Girls and Boys Head of the River, whilst our Swimming and Diving Teams were able to round out their season with a strong performance as a part of the Geelong Combined team at the APS Swimming and Diving Finals. Whilst our winter sports teams completed an interrupted season it was the Derby Day rivalry that provided a

magnificent build-up of excitement leading to a day of enjoyable competition that resulted in most of our teams victorious. Term 3 commenced with the marking of the 160th Anniversary at the Founder's Day Assembly that highlighted the rich and vibrant history of the College, whilst paying respect to the traditional owners of the land in recognising that this has been a place of learning for over 60,000 years. Learning from our past to shape the future was the abiding theme of the assembly. Producer, actor and composer, Mr Robert Tripolino (OGC, 2008) conveyed a message of hope and aspiration to our students, connecting his own experience at The Geelong College with theirs. He encouraged the students to follow their dreams and passions, be prepared for setbacks and be willing to be flexible and adaptable. Opportunities for experiential learning were remodelled to provide enriching experiences beyond the classroom within the framework of restrictions. During the Term 1 holidays our Year 11 students learnt about fitness, nutrition, well-being and personal growth in the magnificent environment of the Otways. The Year 10 Kinglake Camp was based on a "Survivor" theme that had the students allocated to tribes and working together to complete a range of challenges and initiativebased activities. With a focus on positive relationships being the cornerstone of wellbeing, the students also participated in a range of relational activities aimed at enhancing resilience, optimism, and engagement. Whilst the opportunities to engage in service learning within the Geelong community were limited due to COVID restrictions, it was through the conviction of our students and staff that they were able to engage with a range of advocacy and communitybased initiatives including RUOK day, The Geelong College Rainbow Alliance, Feed Me Bellarine, The Resilience Project, Winter Clothing Appeals, Uniting Care Christmas Hampers and TLC for Kids. The Corangamite Schools Climate Challenge encouraged our students to reduce the school community's carbon footprint. Throughout this unprecedented time our Senior School community has continued to demonstrate the virtues of kindness, courage and resilience to which we aspire. Nathanael Coull

An Evolving Vision There is no doubt that education has been transformed by the events of the past two years. Much of the change has brought real and significant challenges for schools as organisations, as well as for teachers, students and families. Much of the contemporary narrative revolves around what has been lost in learning, such as connection, a collaborative and curious culture and a teacher's ability to truly guide their students as they see them in a classroom. I believe that we can also take from the Remote Learning experience some positives. The events have accelerated organisational development in schools. We need only look at the rate of technological uptake, the popularity of online events and the growth in cloud-based platforms for learning to see how quickly and positively schools have been able to adapt. Whilst it has not been without much sweat, I can see that we are well poised to tackle the next challenges and embrace a future in teaching that is forever changed.

As we celebrate 2021 as a year of learning, we acknowledge that our students were not the only ones facing new content and the need to master new programs. It has been an enormous year for our teachers, who have worked with great dedication to their craft and a passion for continuing to see our students engage and grow. Thank you to our staff for an incredible year-your agility, your patience and your desire to see our students at the centre has been inspirational.

At the beginning of this year, we launched The Geelong College's refreshed Vision for Learning. This pivotal document presents our aim and purpose for learning as a school, from EL-Year 12. The Vision is organised around seven key dimensions of learning. These dimensions have been in place for a number of years but have had a contemporary refresh. Importantly, the new Vision for Learning includes a Learner Profile that captures the aspirations for our students as learners. Learning is, after all, not just about content; it is about the development of capabilities which enable our students to leave College at the end of their journey with confidence, knowing they can embrace their future as life-long learners. The opening of the Vision says: The Gee/ong College is a community of/earners who, with courage, strive to develop a Jove ofand capacity for life-long learning. We embrace a diversity of learners and are aspirational in our goals for ourselves and others. All ofus in this community - teachers, parents and students alike - long to demonstrate the value we place on learning: it facilitates a satisfying life, filled with meaning, purpose and accomplishment, in whatever field we choose to work...

A living and dynamic document, this Vision for Learning describes the knowledge, behaviours and capabilities students develop in order to engage with a rapidly evolving future. It provides a broad framework for learning experiences that invite students to thrive in and drive the global economies of today and tomorrow. Increasingly, for students to be active contributors to their world, they must learn notjust subject knowledge, or even so-called "soft skills", but also the most fundamental aspect ofa modern education: learning how to learn.

Celebrating with our 2020 Year 12 Achievers In a year that brought so many unexpected challenges and changes to the way we work and learn, the goals for many of our Year 12 students do not change. With a focus on their studies and firm hopes for their futures, our senior students continued to work closely with their teachers on their learning. In February we welcomed back to College a number of our highachieving Year 12 graduates from 2020. For these graduates, the final year of school brought an unprecedented need to adapt to online learning, disrupted timetables, new-look assessments, and relating to their peers and teachers remotely. Whilst this has become very much part of our daily routine 18 months later, for the cohort of 2020 it was very unsettling. As a group, we were so proud of them for their grit, their positivity and their support of each other. In the Academic Celebration Assembly, we recognised the incredible work and success of some of our highest-achieving young Old Collegians, in front of Senior School staff and students. Occasions such as these are important in the life of our College. as we celebrate and rightly recognise the achievements of our top scholars. Importantly, they and their

stories serve as inspiration for current students of all ages. These graduates demonstrated that, although sometimes it might not feel that way, the end of schooling does eventually come. Every hour spent at a desk, every class attended, every meeting with a teacher, and every practice exam does make a huge difference to eventual results. All our guests at the Assembly earned results that placed them in the top 3% of the tens of thousands of students across Victoria. A couple of impressive results from our cohort warrant repeating. • Six College students received an ATAR in excess of99.00, placing them in the top 1% of the state. • 11.2% of our ATAR scores were above 95. • 23% of our students gained an ATAR of90 and above; thus, almost a quarter of our students are in the top 10% of all of Victoria. • We achieved 6 perfect study scores with 13% of all our study scores being over 40. When addressing the Assembly, I conveyed that the breadth of the students' subjects demonstrated that there are many ways to excellence and that students should choose to study in their areas of passion; you have to love the subject. All our high achievers led a balanced College life - enjoying their sport, music, community service, creative arts, leadership and competitions. Rather than merely being activities to organise around their study, this kind of involvement assisted in their study. It is never an either-or situation. Their wide involvement gave them a break from the books, and energy to re-focus and taught them something about themselves, fostering a muchneeded brand ofresilience. Importantly, their involvement provided a sense of meaning and purpose, connected the students to, and serving, something greater than themselves. Congratulations to all our Year 12 students from 2020. What follows is a brief citation about our top achievers from the cohort.

Dux of the College Danny Yang (ATAR 99.80) Entered in 2011; McLean House Unit 3 and 4 Subjects: English, French, Mathematical Methods, Physics, VET Music, Further Mathematics and Music Performance. Danny received study scores of 50 for Further Mathematics in 2019 and for VET Music in 2020.

Danny was invited to address the Celebration Assembly. He offered this wisdom to the students; "I came to the College in Year 3 al/the way back in 2011, which was the year that my family moved to Australia. Back then, it was really difficult for me because I couldn't speak a word ofEnglish. So lots has changed, and it still feels quite unreal. However, none of this would have been possible without the support ofmy peers and teachers, who continued to really encourage me to keep trying despite how challenging it was to communicate and fit in. It was because of this that English became one ofmy strongest areas ofstudy later on, and this I guess alludes to the first point /'II be talking about today - your weaknesses don't always have to stay as they are. They're only temporary; ifyou have the dedication and resolve to challenge yourself Some things are just not natural to you, and that's OK because you always have the power to create change."

The Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation (CLRI) was proud to present a number of outstanding opportunities for engaging with the latest research and practice in education. Importantly, 2021 saw The Geelong College hosting a significant public event for Geelong Design Week. Despite many of our events falling victim to the every-changing landscape of restrictions, the CLRI has continued to find ways to engage our community and contribute to meaningful dialogue.

Geelong Design Week Young Masters: Unpredict-ABLE On Monday 22 March the College proudly hosted Young Masters: Unpredict-ABLE. The evening was part of the wider Geelong Design Week, an initiative ofGeelong UNESCO City of Design. Unpredict-ABLE was an engaging evening and something quite new for us, with a number of our Old Collegians returning to College to both participate in the event, as well as reconnect with old friends and staff. Delivered in two parts, the event celebrated designers responding in moments of surprise or when facing the unexpected. We explored innovation and design thinking emerging when we encounter the unpredictable. Featuring design disciplines including fashion, architecture and visual media, we showcased young local designers and sought to inspire current or prospective design students.

Built Environment. Tuba moderated the discussion superbly over the 45 minutes, navigating responses to the provocations of: designers as connectors; design as "human-centred" approach to problem solving; and the role of imagination and communication in design.

The panel consisted of four of our well-established young designers in their respective fields; Panellists: • Kate Fitzpatrick (OGC 1993) - co-founder and Director of Auhaus Architecture, working predominantly on the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula, designing houses that respond to and sit gracefully in the environment. • David Gilbert-Kent (OGC 2002) - founder and Director of Geelong creative agency, Three Names Creative, specialising in three main areas - brand, design and digital. • Ferne Millen (OGC 1996) - a multi-disciplinary, creative artist whose main focus is on storytelling through photography and installation. • Casey Egan (OGC 2004) - Ripcurl's Global Head of Design, Men's Surf Wear where he works in design on a global scale, collaborating with artists and innovative fabric mills.

The audience was treated to three presentations from Old Collegians, who shared with us a story of their career so far. We asked each of them to share with us something unpredictable in their journey to date. It may have been finding their current career path, a single conversation, or a moment when everything changed. Presenters: • Lachlan Patrick (OCG 2014) - a Mechatronics Engineer specialising in rapid prototyping, Autonomous Surface Vehicles and Humanitarian Engineering. • Nick Manton (OCG 2016) - a Melbourne-based graphic designer-illustrator, heavily influenced by his passion for music. • Will Ritchie (OGC 1997) - is a renowned wildlife artist, who also happens to hold a PhD in Molecular Biology.

The second part of the evening was a Q&A discussion moderated by special guest, Tuba Kocaturk, Professor of Integral Design, Deakin University, School ofArchitecture and

Neuroscientist-in-Residence Program 2021 saw The Geelong College furthering our partnership with Dr Jared Cooney Horvath as our Neuroscientist-in-Residence. As a renowned educational neuroscientist and Harvard University graduate, Dr Jared Cooney Horvath (PhD, MEd) works at the crossroads of the laboratory and the classroom. Dr Cooney Horvath has a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from

the University of Melbourne and a Masters in Mind, Brain and Education from Harvard University. He has worked as a teacher, curriculum developer, brain researcher, and is currently an educational researcher at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education. In a number of visits to the College and a series of virtual events, Dr Jared has continued to challenge, entertain and evolve us as a learning institution. Working with staff, senior students and even parents, Dr Jared brought his characteristic energy and humour to each event. There is no doubt that our learning under him has seen a significant shift in our shared language, our understanding of the human brain, and our ambition to continue evolving our practice in this space. • Public Evening Lecture: Are you your brain?

In a fascinating lecture, Dr Jared spoke about emergence in science, and the level at which the human mind exists. Are we simply a brain, as science has argued for many decades? Or are we to believe an alternative: we are not our brain, but nor are we our body. For the past three decades a new theory in science, that of emergence, says that rather than reducing a complex entity to its component parts, we need to acknowledge that when we dismantle something, it ceases to exist. Our mind emerges when the brain, the body, our social context come together: we are no more in our brain than we are in our foot or stomach - we exist only when all of it comes together. Our live and streaming audience were not only experiencing Dr Jared's energy and expert teaching; they were taken on a riveting intellectual journey. It is so valuable to embrace learning in our community. • Senior Student Workshops with Dr Jared

All students in Years 10, 11 and 12 were privileged to spend several hours with Dr Jared Cooney Horvath during Term 1, with the aim of setting them up for success in theirVCE studies. Year 10 explored the Learning Process. Reviewing their learning from 2020 in the Cognizance Research Project, the sessions then looked at how to leverage this content for their classroom learning. Years 11 and 12 looked at how the world of neuroscience can provide them with key principles for their studies in the VCE and beyond. The sessions explored memory, note-taking, learning thresholds, priming, skills transfer, the importance of sleep and many other topics. The students were prompted to not only appreciate that there are ways to advance their own learning, but also to take responsibility for shaping a disciplined, efficient and effective study regime.

basic human learning process and considered the tricky issue of transfer. Finally, we looked at the learning trajectory, namely the different stages of learning, from surface through levels of deep learning and then transfer. Stafflooked at what teaching techniques and strategies best align with each level. A big day of incredible learning! • Year 9 Cognizance Research Project with Independent Schools Victoria (ISV)

For the third year, our entire cohort of Year 9 students have been engaged in the Cognizance Research Project. In a series of workshops with Dr Jared, the Year 9s learned about the neuroscience oflearning and metacognition. This year two of the 4 sessions took place onsite, with Jared joining us live. This was very special indeed and gave the students a chance to meet and connect with Jared which assisted in the enjoyment of the remaining sessions online. Taking place across Terms 2 and 3, the sessions looked at the following topics; • Lesson One: Get Your Mind Right (Stories and Errors) • Lesson Two: Master the Hardware (Plasticity) • Lesson Three: Gaming the System (Memory) • Lesson Four: Owning Your Learning (Metacognition) Our students have learned so much with Jared this year, as our previous cohorts have. We are thankful for the support of Independent Schools Victoria whose program we are enjoying. We look forward to reporting back to the community on the results of the research. All students have completed a pre- and post-test, the results of which will demonstrate the efficacy of the program.

Rites of Passage with Arne Rubinstein Dr Arne Rubinstein visited The Geelong College on Thursday 17 June. Throughout the day he met with students, staff, the College Council and parents to find out more about the activities at The Geelong College which build connectedness for our students in their journey from childhood to adulthood.

• The Learning Trajectory with Dr Jared Cooney Horvath

Our entire teaching staff were catapulted into 2021 with a full day of professional learning with Dr Jared Cooney Horvath. Continuing his work with the College in 2020, Dr Jared lent his significant expertise to our learning program. Last year, we worked with him on the neuroscientific basis of learning and explored a number of learning principles drawn from research about the human brain. We began this year with a session that asked the question, Are human beings born with certain skills, talents, and abilities - or are these learned through experience? The session on genes, plasticity and intelligence laid the foundation for exploring why it is so hard for some students to move knowledge and skills between contexts. We looked at the

The evening presentation to parents was well attended. The enthusiastic audience enjoyed Arne's presentation about rites of passage in our contemporary context and ways of exploring avenues to develop meaningful experiences for our young people in their adolescent years. In particular, Arne spoke of the need for our young people to experience healthy challenges, constructed by adults who we know and trust, at school. Arne encouraged parents to include young people in their social gatherings and to construct them so they are a constant part of their parents' world. Arne emphasises how mentoring and connections with older people in a community are a key to this, too. Arne's visit has provoked discussion among students, staff and parents about the experiences we provide through our co-curricular programs and formal school experience. We are seeking to ensure our young people are engaged in learning and connected to their school community.

2021 was a year of challenges and success. No longer awkward strangers to Remote Learning, teachers and students accepted the reality of abrupt change with little notice. Flexibility was vital as "pivoting" became our "new normal" as we continued using technology to switch in and out of lockdowns. Waiting for "the presser" became a regular part of our planning as rumours of impending lockdowns came to fruition. I am proud of what our community has achieved this year, both in-person and remotely. Our time together became more precious, even as our masked conversations were somewhat awkward. The resilience and professionalism of the staff were evident. Semester based subject teachers continued to build relationships with students they had barely seen in person, and pastoral care remained a high priority. Students continued to work diligently and achieve success across all domains. There were very pleasing results in numerous areas including public speaking, Mathematics, Legal Studies, Geography, Science, and Chinese competitions. Of particular note was Max Bluml's highest state level win in Geography out of thousands of students.

We continued our generous support of pre-service teachers, with all departments hosting aspiring teachers. We were proud to share our school with them, our beautiful grounds but most of all our enthusiastic, courteous and positive students. We could reassure them this is a place where learning is truly the main focus of our conversations with students. We enjoyed seeing the school through new eyes and could pass on the lessons we learned about teaching remotely. As part of our school-wide Learning Culture Project, the Senior School staff commenced a book study group of Ron Ritchart's "Creating Cultures of Thinking". After COVID influenced isolation in our offices and avoidance of crowded staffrooms, the opportunity for cross-department learning was appreciated by many. We explored our own experiences of learning across many age groups and cultures. We considered how success was measured, the interactions (both positive and negative) with our teachers and how this influences our own teaching choices today. We then critically examined our current culture. If, as psychologist Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory suggests, students grow into the intellectual life around them, what is the academic life at our school? Passionate discussion ensued, and we generated exciting ideas. Staff enjoyed the opportunity to go on learning walks and explore what happens in other classrooms and asked students to identify the thinking that happens in their class. These are rich opportunities for growth and development as a school as we learn collaboratively and seek new ideas. Looking forward, we will explore the cultural forces that impact our teaching and implement improvements to reflect our understandings. I acknowledge all of our teachers and students for their efforts in what has been a challenging year. Melissa Barnes

As we have navigated the challenges the year has presented, I have been greatly encouraged to see the intentionality of our students, staff and families to build one another up and to demonstrate genuine kindness. We have been able to continue with Chapel services in varied formats; those special moments to pause, to be encouraged, to share the message offaith and hope. A highlight being a whole College Easter service on the Talbot St lawns of our Senior School Campus. With involvement of students from each campus, it was a significant moment as we reflected on the powerful message of love and sacrifice demonstrated through Jesus. Our Religious Education Team across our College continues to create space to explore life's big questions around faith, meaning and purpose. With much happening in our world we hope to provide the opportunities for them to reflect on ethical dilemmas, Biblical and Philosophical views and values that they can apply to their own life. Service towards one another and our wider community is a life value we hope to instil in our students and despite restrictions have been able to continue to build upon some existing partnerships and develop some new connections with local churches and charities. We ran the Winter Warm-Up clothing drive across the school with all donations going to Christ Church Geelong and directly to disadvantaged people in our city. We have a great partnership with Uniting Care and it was wonderful to see the joy our students have in giving as we prepared our Christmas Hampers to bless local families in need. "Now these three remain: faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13) Steve Wright, Senior School Chaplain

2021 has been a challenging year that was shaped by the COVID 19 pandemic and lockdowns. In line with this, chaplaincy work across Junior and Middle Schools this year has involved a significant focus on pastoral care being offered to students, their families and staff as the challenges of the pandemic have flowed on. Religious and values education classes have continued to be an important part of the personal development of our students within their learning programs this year. In the early years, students have participated in the Godly play program, through story-telling experiences, exploring key events in the Bible, alongside the celebration of significant Christian festivals. This focus on the Christian calendar and the biblical stories that inform these events have also been explored with the Middle School students in classes, assemblies and Chapel services throughout the year. We have continued our work with the 'Eat Up' organisation this year. Eat Up provides sustainable, free, healthy lunches for school children in need. Eat Up has adapted its processes and offerings to work within the COVID 19 restrictions in 2021. This year Eat Up has provided sandwiches where possible, alongside sandwich making materials, fresh fruit and emergency food boxes. Here at College we participated in a sandwich making session with the Year 6 students in Term 1. Other sessions were cancelled this year due to lockdowns, however we will conclude the year with a fundraiser across the College to support Eat Up. Leanne Earl, Junior and Middle School Chaplain

Reflections on 100 Years of the Preparatory School Coral Turner What would the time capsule look like and what would have been considered worthy ofinclusion at such a memorable time? One hundred years represents significant changes in our world and our international relationships, and I was curious to see what was considered significant at the time. I felt very privileged to be present when the Time Capsule for the Preparatory School would be uncovered and opened in 2021 and watched with fascination as the bricks were carefully removed to disclose the place in which this capsule had resided for 100 years. My first surprise was the fact that it was a glass jar; in fact ajar that would have been in the kitchens of many homes in 1921 as it was ajar that stored preserved fruit. The jar was very carefully removed, inspected, and found to be in perfect condition, with the contents securely stored inside. The glass jar seal was broken, and it was carefully opened. The contents were extracted and examined. First to be revealed were four coins, a shilling, a florin, sixpence, and threepence; all slightly tarnished. Then came the careful extraction of two newspapers, The Geelong Advertiser and The Geelong Times. They were yellowed and fragile, but in good condition. The document that created a great deal of interest was the Prospectus of The Geelong College at that time, showing the classrooms and the buildings of the time. A treasure trove of memories! My burning questions for 2021-Whatshould be included in a time capsule for the next 100 years and where will it be buried?

GE.ELONG COLLEGE GEJ.LONG

Time Capsule 2021 Coral Turner On November 24, 2021, a new time capsule, commemorating 100 years of the Preparatory School, was buried in the resting place of the original time capsule at the Austin Gray Centre. The new time capsule looked far more solid than the original glass jar which contained the 1921 memorabilia. The new metal cylinder contained newspapers, school commemorative medals and current coinage alongside current publications relevant to our 2021 Geelong College. Written reflections by students also were included in the collection of material which will be safely stored for the next 100 years. The current student texts reflected the challenges of2021 and the impact that COVID, Remote Learning, and our constantly evolving social and educational restrictions have had on this year of the celebration of 100 years of the Preparatory School. SRC Captains, Nethumlee Thota Hewage and Savidu KapuhenThuduwage were able to place the chosen memorabilia for 2021 into a metal canister which was sealed and stored in anticipation of an opening 100 years from 2021.

Learning on Country, Caring for Country... Respecting Country and Culture. From our Indigenous Cultural Advisor, Lisa Couzens

Letter to Students Hello everyone, my name is Lisa and I have the great pleasure of working here at The Geelong College as the Indigenous Cultural Advisor. Coming to The Geelong College I was interested to see how much you were aware and engaged with First Nations Culture. Visiting the Early Learning Centre and Junior School campus was a delight! Entering the spaces there I felt welcomed with beautiful Acknowledgement plaques, artwork and plants which all help you feel a connection to place or Country. Seeing your photos of your walk to Yaluk (Barwon River) and meeting with your friend Wadawurrung Traditional Owner Corrina Eccles, showed me how you like to listen and learn on Country.

The fantastic Enviro work - Caring for Country in Middle School is a great step in the right direction. Seeing you all embrace and understand with great respect what Country means to First Nations people and how to care for it was special. Some highlights of my first year here:

Taking some of our Indigenous students from Middle School to the You Yangs to be out on Country and to gain a better understanding of the beautiful Wadawurrung land and to strengthen their connections to each other and culture. We are very thankful to Norm Stanley and his wife Nikki McKenzie who shared the day with us and explained how the indigenous people before us used and cared for the land.

The picture here shows me working with some senior students to make the College's first possum skin Stole! Wearing a Cloak or Stole during a ceremony, signals that the person is special; they might be an elder, speaker, healer or a young person reaching a goal. The making of the Stole is a cultural practice connecting to past, present, and future generations. It provides a way of sharing stories, healing and sustaining our culture with the broader community. Here is what Jye said about wearing it to Valedictory this year. Jye Charles: Yorta Yorta are my people. My Pop was the first aboriginal man to own a business and a home in the Gou/burn Valley Wearing this Stole makes me proud of who I am, my people and the connection we all have with each other.

I'm so glad I get to spend time with you and hope that with a little bit of my knowledge and support I can share with our community here at The Geelong College will help continue this journey with great strength. Let's keep the ball rolling through the campuses. From caring, understanding and knowing Country and Culture to truth telling and reconciliation.

I was also able to catch up with the Year 10s in their Philosophy and Religion classes and yarn with them about my life experiences and a range of First Nation issues around Australia Day, racism, stereotyping and truth telling and how they can be a game changer!

So, a big thankyou to everyone for taking up the challenge, keep up the fantastic work. Woo rook for now!

Coming off the back of 2020, there was excitement to commence a school year that would hopefully allow us to remain on campus, We were fortunate to participate in a range of House events which helped to unite us early in the year, The sporadic lockdowns have made it difficult to schedule House events, however we have grown so much as a House and as individuals, learning to adapt to new situations. Our first big event was House swimming. With their outstanding performance, the Year 9s and 10s placed 2nd followed by the Year 1 ls and 12s placing 5th resulting in Calvert finishing 2nd overall. Calvert displayed fine sporting talents across the wide range of House events. We had a particularly notable win in softball, placing 1st for the third year in a row by a vast score. Notable achievements included 1st in tennis, 1st in volleyball, 2nd in cricket, 2nd in water polo and 3rd in netball; a testament to everyone in Calvert's commitment and determination. In the last week of Term 1, we organised the Calvert Easter Raffle where winners received a hamper filled with Easter chocolates. We donated $933 in proceeds to TLC for Kids, which is an organisation that provides practical and emotional support for sick children and their families during times of need.

In Term 2, we prepared for House music, with multiple weekly rehearsals where the entire House worked together to produce a performance that did not disappoint. The big group sang 'Holiday Road' and injected an abundance of energy and excitement into Lindsey Buckingham's hit song from National Lampoon's Vacation. The small group sacrificed many lunchtimes to perfect their rendition of 'Lay it on me' by Vance Joy. Calvert's efforts produced 4th place in both the small and big group giving us a 4th place overall in the competition,

Towards the end of Term 2 and throughout the rest of the year the College and Victoria were hit with snap lockdowns and constant restriction changes. Despite this, the Calvert community remained consistent in their efforts and work, through both online and in-school learning, While Remote Learning came with many challenges, the Calvert community took each day as it came and ensured to check in with their tutor groups twice a week, On behalf of Calvert, we would like to thank our committed tutors and our amazing Head of House Mr Joyce for all their work and support they have given this year in trying circumstances, The year 12s would especially like to thank our Tutors Ms Shen and Mr D'Agostin and our Head of House Mr Joyce, for the four years that they have supported us through everything we have encountered at Senior School.

The Coles Knights should be proud of their service and dedication in 2021! We were set up for a great year by our noble leader Mr Cook, the strong support of Mrs Porter, Ms Munro, Mrs Sinnott, Mr Fairlie, Ms Read and Ms Chalmers, the experience and leadership of the Year 12s, the mighty Year 1 ls and 10s, and the intake of freshly knighted Year 9s! We all enjoyed the journey that was 2021. The collaboration, camaraderie, and momentous energy the Coles Knights embodied was upheld throughout all aspects of House life, both on campus and remotely online.

Throughout the year, Coles united to support the wider community with volunteer trips to Feed Me Bellarine. Here, House members were involved in packing bags of fresh produce and essential goods to be distributed across Geelong and the Bellarine to those in need. Our Year 11 students were privileged to attend the Resilience Project presentation, where they learned about the values of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness. We were grateful for the way they shared their learnings with the rest of Coles.

Every knight fought gallantly in our quest for the Cronk. Like all battles, the major and minor House events resulted in triumphs, some struggles, but most importantly, pride in our shared efforts. In House debating, our debaters excelled and were rewarded with a win! House music involved many rehearsals in the sun on Main Oval, with endless repetitions of the lyrics to 'Classic', leaving us "never goin' out of style" but often feeling "out ofmy mind"! The performance of'Scar' by our Small Group was also outstanding. Coles students' participation across the other major House events of swimming and Cross Country was inspiring and impressed the prefects. We were proud to field strong teams in all minor House events, with admirable results.

As House Captains, we would like to thank Mr Cook for his kindness, enthusiasm, encouragement and guidance. Coles is very fortunate to have such a remarkable leader! It has been a pleasure to be part of such a supportive, fun and passionate House; we feel privileged to stand beside all Coles Knights this year. We have thoroughly enjoyed our journey in Coles, appreciating the many adventures and friendships, and we hope all Knights enjoy their experience too. As we pass on our leadership to the Class of 2022, we are assured that Coles is in great hands with a promising future!

We cherished the time we spent together in the Coles Houseroom at school, but also managed to stay connected during the phases oflockdown. Remote Learning brought many fun House challenges, including Flip Grid activities, scavenger hunts and Kahoots. The challenges were competitively contested, allowing the Knights to keep the House spirit alive! It was a priority to support each other during these phases, which we did by sharing video messages, checking in with Housemates and weekly Teams tutorials.

It was yet another COVID affected year in and out oflockdowns, but Keith House was still able to enjoy the privileges of school for the time we had on campus. Term 1 started off with everyone back and enjoying the time we got to spend with each other. The year started with the House Swimming carnival. Although divided up into Years 9 and 10 in the morning and Years 11 and 12 in the afternoon, the day still proved to be one of the most exciting House events. The Year 9/10 really put in the hard yards while the Year 11 and 12s couldn't quite match their efforts. The start of the year also included many more House activities, including House cricket, music, softball, and badminton. House Music was a hit where we all "wanted to dance with somebody"; clearly the judges weren't in a dancing mood, as we ended up finishing 6th, This year Keith collaborated with McLean in our community service that involved the Winter warm-up clothing drive through Christ Church Geelong. We encouraged members of the College community to donate unwanted winter clothes such as coats, hats and scarves that were donated to homeless people in Geelong. It was a great initiative that involved College with the wider Geelong community.

Eager to begin the second semester of the year, Keith Love was more vibrant than ever. Sadly, things were disrupted by Dan the Man's lockdowns, and we reverted back to online. Our competitive attitude remained with Mr Hodge's weekly trivia between tute groups that saw a range of topics. Even through the unknown and brief periods of return, Keith's competitive spirit was stronger than ever; being driven and focussed, the

House fielded competitive teams to win soccer and House water polo with a proud prowess. With the unfortunate cancellation of the much anticipated House athletics in the final weeks of Term 3, the Keith Year 12s maintained a liveliness in our small but loved House room while the rest of our House powered on line. Through such an inconsistent year, bouncing between lockdowns and online learning, the ever-present support of our tutors has not gone unnoticed, nor have the efforts of our wonderful Head of House, Mr Hodge. On behalf of Keith, we would like to give a big thank you to Ms Long, Mrs Pelletier, Mr Cheatley, Mrs Barnes, Mr Morgan and Mr Kovacevwhose continued encouragement and assistance through this uncertain time has only enhanced our beloved Keith spirit, It's been an unprecedented year that has been memorable in more ways than one, and while it wasn't quite the year we anticipated, the Keith Love still held strong. We wish the House the best of luck next year and beyond. Tanner Lewis & Jess Treble

2021 has been a year of surprises, but one filled with many highlights! From wins in House sports to success of individuals, it was truly special this year when we could come together and embody the McArthur House spirit. Although we were challenged by the transitions in and out of lockdown, the House showed that they were able to adapt and still make their best effort to contribute and stay connected. One of the major highlights of this year was House Music where we placed 1st in both the large group and small group. We were finally able to take our winning title back by singing out our hearts to 'Pompeii', by Bastille and through small group doing a cover of 'Valerie' by Amy Winehouse. In the small group the amazing voices of Maggie Gilby, India Connor, Harriet Koch and Hannah Manderson made for a perfect harmonious combo, whilst the talents of Sax duo, Emmy Bowyer and Dominic Bongiorno, were clearly evident. The skills of Ollie Parks on drums, Charlie Rahdon on guitar, Georgia Phung on piano and Hannah Phung on violin combined to make an impressive and memorable sound! Even our own KT believed the small group were good enough to make a soundtrack! A special mention goes to Zali Cross who wasn't able to make the performance on the day, but was still there in spirit.

McArthur has certainly excelled this year in House sports! Despite getting off to a rocky start coming 8th in House swimming, we took this under our belt and stepped it up taking home a win in Cross Country! It was amazing to see everyone supporting each other and putting in their best effort. We also got to see McArthur once again pull out another win in the cricket, third year in a row. Standout performance in the final by Ted Bain, with the whole team led by Stirling Shier taking us to victory. This year there was also a very commendable performance by the girls in softball, placing second in a narrow loss to the talents of Calvert! Impressive performances were

also evident in our tennis players securing 2nd place, where we saw the dynamic duo of Hannah Stoney and Emmy Bowyer put on a show in the girls' doubles. The basketballers also placed 2nd overall, where both the boys and the girls pulled out some great tactics and 3-pointers. Whilst the House sports allowed individuals to shine, it also bought McArthur together and reminded us of the importance of friendship and sportsmanship. This year many individuals within the House put their hands up for everything and anything, even competing in events they'd never done. This does not go unnoticed as their attitude is what led us to be placed 1st in the Cronk Trophy. In 2021 the fun competitive essence of McArthur was continued throughout the periods of online learning! A highlight was the Early Morning Risers where everyone raced to hit the emoji login at 8.30am ... some even managed to hit right on 8.30.0lam with not even a split second to spare! Olivia Allen, Archie Lazzaro and Henry Gove were common names to pop up as the first to sign in, with many trying their best to beat them to it. Whilst this was a fun initiative, it emphasised the willingness of the House members to be up and ready for the school day. McArthur has also been able to stay connected online through Mr Taylor's fun quizzes and games where students had to guess the location of a photo within the school. This certainly tested our memory and our attention to the details of the College. Although the second half of2022 was a challenge, once again McArthur demonstrated the highest of qualities to persist in their efforts to do their very best and invest in the House. We truly commend each and every one in McArthur. Thank you to every person in McArthur who has helped us to be the overall winners of the Cronk Trophy in 2021- Go McArthur!

Whilst many consider McLean an easy shortcut to many of the cloister-based classes, we are often walked-over. Despite the ever-changing nature of this year, McLean has provided some of the best results Charlotte and I have ever seen and have illustrated to the rest of the school that we are not just a shortcut. Term 1 opened with anticipation and excitement as House Swimming fast approached. In the pool, McLean did not disappoint with strong results across all year levels and filling all events. This amazing result set us up for the months ahead. House basketball was the highlight of the year for many. Whilst the rest of the school was adamant that the tall Keith boys would prevail or the 1st basketballers of McArthur would win, this was truly an underdog story. After Xavier Muhor's buzzerbeater against Morrison to send McLean into the final, McLean proved too much for McArthur. This year one of the major highlights was our highest large House event placing in House music with 2nd! This is a result that we and the rest of the house are extremely proud of. When we were at school each year level completed lunches and outings together which was great for bonding between the year levels.

During our Remote Learning period, we focussed on staying connected and together. One of the ways we did this was by conducting a fun trivia session during our tutorial sessions with random knowledge and news from the week. Our other focus point from our remote phase was our project 'McLean small wins'. This involved all students taking photos for their small wins during the lockdowns, which could have been walking the dog or doing the dishes. We have had a great year and hope that next year the House is able to participate in all the events.

Charlotte and I would also like to personally thank Mr Blanchfield for his work and care for McLean this year. None of McLean's fine achievements this past year both at school and on line would have been possible without him. A special mention should also be made to the many tutors of McLean including, Ms Henning (Year 9), Ms Langley and Mr Smith (Year 10), Mr Smith (Year 11) and of course the wonderful Mr Conway who had to put up with our shenanigans for 2 years! The remaining House Prefects also played an integral part in the smooth operation of McLean and Charlotte and I are incredibly grateful for them. And finally, McLean House, we cannot describe how thankful we are to have so many like-minded and cheerful students in the House room for our final year. We would like to thank you for your cooperation and participation this year. Looking back on our journey through McLean from Year 9 to Year 12 we are proud to call McLean our House and we trust that future year levels will carry on McLean's legacy. Not as a shortcut but as a home. Charlotte Newman & Archer Drummond

2021 has been an incredibly successful year for the Morrison Eagles, with our hearts set on that final prize, the Cronk. Since Mr Flanagan's departure, Ms Hynes and Morrison were eager to maintain the competitive and courageous Morrison spirit, which has been reflected in our achievements. Despite the Year 9s and Year 10s being oblivious to Morrison's strong culture, our Year 1 ls and 12s quickly introduced them to it, ensuring we were all working collaboratively towards our goal. The juniors caught on incredibly fast and with their determination won House swimming and netball, displaying true Morri spirit and placing enormous amounts of pressure on the seniors to also succeed. At first, this pressure didn't prove to be enough, with the seniors not managing to land a place in the top 4. However, we bounced back with amazing efforts in badminton, basketball, water polo and cricket. The determination and efforts of all year levels is something on which we pride ourselves. Whilst we worked hard instilling the Morri Spirit into the Year 9s and 10s, our trusty tutors Ms Green, Mr Bauer, Mr Jess, Ms Jackman, Ms Gibbs, Mr Hayes and Ms Clark also worked to ensure the younger students felt as passionately as the seniors about winning the Cronk. We also had continuing support from our ruthless Head of House Ms Hynes, constantly reminding us to try our hardest and work as a team, whilst also being inclusive and kind, for which we are all incredibly thankful. Through the challenges of lockdowns and restrictions, Hynesy remained positive and encouraged us all to persist and stay connected, which was extremely comforting and appreciated all year.

On behalf of the Year 12s, we would like to acknowledge Ms Green for setting us up with great study skills and social skills from Year 9 tutorials, Mr Kristiansen for teaching us how to laugh in Year 10, Ms Gibbs and Mr Jess for encouraging us to connect as a group in Year 11 and Mr Jess and Ms Jackman for the endless motivation and love shared through lockdown in Year 12. Morrison House is incredibly grateful for the dedication and hard work all students and teachers have given, and especially for maintaining determination and strength throughout the tough times.

Coming off a disappointing 2020, with many House sports and events cancelled, Shannon was determined to prove that we could win the Cronk once again. With a great group of new Year 12 leaders and Mrs Filling as Head of House, we were sure this year was going to be successful, Shannon began the year with its annual Valentine's Day Fundraiser, All tutorial groups organised hundreds of carnations, lollipops, and chocolates along with friendly messages to be delivered to the House rooms, The Year 12s really stood up to their first challenge and sacrificed their time, ensuring this fundraiser ran smoothly. We raised over $1600, which was donated to Feed Geelong, an organisation that provides basic safety nets to reduce hunger and ensure immediate food security for the most vulnerable people across the wider Geelong region. House swimming was the first event of the year. With COVID restrictions still in place, House swimming was divided into two groups with the Year 9 and 10s swimming in the morning followed by the Year lls and 12s, but that didn't stop Shannon from giving it their all with some great performances all round, especially from the younger year levels. House music rehearsals where also held a little bit differently. With a limited number of time slots to practise we knew we needed to make the most of the time we had to rehearse. We held our precious few meetings outside, with the big group belting out ABBA, while the small group worked away tirelessly in Keith Humble to perfect their performance of One Crowded Hour.

House cross country ended up being the final major House event of the year, and it required a bit of reworking, being held at the Senior School campus rather than down at the Barwon River as it had been previously. However, because of the dedicated efforts of the Geelong College staff, it went down as a resounding success, and saw a great group effort from Shannon along with a number of impressive individual performances. Despite the influence of COVID still having an impact on our year, we still managed to have some great triumphs, holding many of the House events that we were unable to last year, including basketball, cricket, soccer, and water polo. Although it was undoubtedly another unusual year with frequent interruptions, Shannon's collective House spirit remained intact, and we still managed to make many great experiences both through competition and through the unity that we have as a House, Such a great year in Shannon would not have been possible without Mrs Watson, Ms Sampson, Mr Tremul, Mr Hunt, Ms Yee and Madame Chabant; our amazing tutors, and of course the fabulous Mrs Filling as Head of House, Thank you also goes to our House Prefects; Jana Gleeson, lmmy Edwards, Euriah Hollard and Nick O'Brien and all the other Year 12s whose efforts made this year so successful and enjoyable. From what we have seen this year, we have high hopes for Shannon in the future and can see great potential in the younger year levels, which gives us confidence that we our leaving our House in capable hands. As our journey ends, we wish you all the best and ask you to wear your navy blue with pride. Pat Whan & Tess Campigli

2021 has been another busy and enjoyable year for Wettenhall. When we were at school, we know our House made the most of our time together, resulting in a number of successes throughout the year. Wettenhall was particularly successful in the large House events, which speaks to our strong sense of House spirit and collective strength. Coming into Term 1 the Year 12s were excited for the busy year to come and ready to compete in some House events. To begin the year, we had an excellent result, winning House swimming. Thanks to the hard work of Jasper Atkinson taking out age champion as well as Evelyn Robinson and Mia Kemp tearing up the pool, we had a convincing lead over all the other Houses. Our second big House event came in music. Whilst it was a busy and stressful experience coordinating and perfecting our performance; our rendition of'September' by Earth Wind and Fire lit up the stage, placing 2nd in the big group. Our small group consisting of Wilbur Renney, James Zhang, Zara Salajan, Jack Copland, Evelyn Robinson, Will Troeth, Sam Manning and Arnold Ng, backed us up, leading us to a very respectable 3rd place with their performance of 'Come and Get Your Love' by Redbone. Term 3 threw us our last House event for the year, the dreaded cross country. Nevertheless, all ofWettenhall laced up their shoes and competed in the 3.8km run which followed a new course around the school. Excellent work from standout performers Cassidy Bradshaw, Ashleigh Rodgers and Kai Enticott, all placing in their respectable age groups ran us into second place.

With one of the strongest Wettenhall line ups in recent years, consisting of the mighty Bradshaws and Poulters, we looked extremely dangerous and were eager to hit the track for House athletics. Unfortunately, due to another COVID struck term and extended lockdowns, we were unable to get House athletics up and running. Nevertheless, the House stayed resilient and optimistic for the remainder of the year. In the end Wettenhall finished in 3rd place in the Cronk, one of our best results in recent years. On behalf of the whole House, we would like to thank our always encouraging and competitive Head of House Ms Hallows. Without your support and organisation we would not have done as well as we have this year. In addition, we would like to thank the Wettenhall tutors, Mr Robbins, Ms Utting (Term 1 and 2), Ms Moloney (Terms 3 and 4), Mrs Browne, Madame Tymms and Mr Donovan. We all appreciate your consistent support and encouragement. We would like to wish Wettenhall the very best of luck for next year and years to come. With many very talented members, the future looks bright for Wettenhall.

Life in Mackie this year has been different from any other. A usual year in Mackie House would contain outings to various attractions, both mid and end of year formals, weekend fires at Mossgiel, indoor soccer and basketball, but this year we were starved of these occasions and events. This meant that we had to find new ways to bring the House together and continue to build the strong culture that Mackie has always had. The prefects did an awesome job maintaining the spirit and keeping Mackie traditions alive. They ran fortnightly committee meetings with members from each year level, set up activities and looked after the younger boys, especially those who were new to the House. For the boarders, 2021 created even more challenges, spending many hours on the road travelling back and forth between our homes and school, often at short notice. For our international students this year has been even more difficult. Most of them have not seen their parents and families in almost 2 years. When the other boarders went home during lockdown, they stayed in an unusually quiet boarding house. Despite these challenges, the tutors worked hard to ensure that the boarding house stuck together with weekly 'Teams' meetings during lockdowns - catching up online and playing a few games to earn house points. A huge thankyou to Mr Edwards (Jez) for continuing to work on our new house system even with the continued interruptions which came throughout the year.

One of the highlights of this year was the much-anticipated annual Urbans Vs Rurals Football match. A late trade saw Archie Peat switch across from the Rurals to the Urbans. This created a lot of tension between the teams. This huge pickup was not to be for the Urbans, with Archie suffering a broken nose at the first centre bounce of the day. Unfortunately for the Urbans, with the likes of star players Angelo Bi nos, Maddix Godfrey and Alex Anastassiou out with injury and Archie Peat down early they struggled to find their way into the match.

Multiple goal-saving tackles from the Rurals' Angus Knox proved vital to the upset. Congratulations to the Rurals' boys on a great win. Sadly, we farewelled much loved Mackie tutors K-Flan (Kevin Flanagan), Jeremy Edwards and Aaron Collins. They have all had such a strong contribution to the life in Mackie over the past 5 years and will be missed. We wish them all the best with their endeavours. With the departure of these staff, we welcomed Will Anders, Mr Hodge and Mr Cheatley (returning) to Mackie. A huge thankyou to Mr Gilby, Mr Schuyler, Nick Dixon and Mrs Jeffreys for their ongoing support throughout this difficult year; ensuring the boarding house was a fun, safe and homely place to live. I would also like to specially thank Murray, Jane and the catering staff for all their work in providing meals for us over my past 6 years in Mackie. I believe this will be Murray's 26th and final year working in the dining hall - a tremendous effort. Congratulations to all the boarders for doing their best in difficult circumstances and I hope that the efforts to maintain the boarding house traditions continue into the future. ZacNorton

Leaving home is never easy. Leaving family, siblings and familiar surrounds to start a new journey is a decision to teach us responsibility, independence and resilience. Resilience is an important facet in the boarding experience. The continual lockdowns this year have meant many ordinary and usual Boarding House events were unfortunately cancelled. Being a Year 12 and living at Mossgiel for the last 3 years, I have experienced 'normal' and also endured the 'new normal'. Although disappointing, the girls have maintained great flexibility, helping each other when times seemed a little tougher. Despite the complications, the 2021 Mossgiel girls always seem to overcome what felt impossible by remaining positive. This is the fundamental mantra or the 'back-bone' of Mossgiel. We celebrate the little wins, the big achievements and commiserate on the challenges and losses. It's this warm, family environment that makes living in Mossgiel so special. The support of our "sisters" in the boarding house always brings laughs and happy tears. Despite not having had a full term at school for the past 2 years, the girls have made the most of our opportunities with arts and crafts, music, movies, uber-eats, sport and a skateboard obstacle course to pass the time.

Throughout this year the staff have showed such empathy for the boarders, with constant positivity and reinforcement. I would like to thank all our amazing tutors; Mrs Jackman, Mr Conway, Ms Munro, Maisie, Claudia, Penny and Kylie. It really wouldn't be the same without you all. A special mention to our Head of Boarding Mrs Knight whose care and compassion has steered us all through this challenging year. She has every girl's best interest at heart and I thank her very much for her support and thoughtfulness. I would also like to congratulate and thank my fellow Year 12s; Lou Campbell, Sophie Gale, Jacqui Ives, Christina Shi, Jess Treble and Mia Young, who have been great role models and a great help with all House matters. I am so appreciative of the opportunities I have been given and the wonderful stories, memories and laughs I have experienced during my time at Mossgiel. I have been so lucky to have met so many amazing people from all over Australia and across the world and to have called Mossgiel ... home. Olivia Allen

If I had to pick a highlight for Mossgiel 2021 it would undoubtedly be Party in the USA in the cloisters during House Music. With lyrics sticky taped to the younger boarders backs who stood in front, and the confused side-to-side action of"moving my hips" by the boys, it was a proud moment for a captain to see the laughter and smiling faces of so many during such a difficult year. It was a perfect illustration of why boarding is so important - the connections, friendships and camaraderie that enhances memorable years at The Geelong College.

Base camp GC Staff Mrs Debbie Filling, Ms Rhonda Browne, Mrs Melissa Barnes Students' responses to the following questions:

• What did you enjoy most about the camp? • What is something you learnt during the experience? • Which activity or aspect of the camp do you think was the highlight for you and your fellow 'tribe' members?

Bundjil

I enjoyed an experience my group let me try out. I told scary stories around the fire for the two nights we camped. The second was after the tribal council so I thanked the group for their vote of confidence. I felt completely in the zone when telling the story, so much so that I scared myself out ofsleeping under the stars. I learned about finding directions and general camping tips, but the learning for me was more about character building. Learning that all is better with an appreciative, positive attitude.

Gugum

I enjoyed the various activities, especially the leap of faith and the ropes course which

my tribe 'Gugum' would agree with. I learnt about teamwork through everyone needing to work together to achieve goals. I also now understand the importance ofhaving an open mind to try new things and meet new people.

Chantal Mason

Gurnmil

Our group's highlight was the tribal council. Our tribe did really well, everyone was laughing and getting involved in the competitive aspect of the night and the general atmosphere. (I also involved myself in the competitive aspect, which definitely added to the experience for me). Our group was very successful on the night and we ail took something out ofit. I enjoyed the camp and am grateful for the experience. It wasn't without its flaws, but the camp was really fun for me and I would like more of the camping next time. Who needs civilisation when you're in Kinglake anyway? Get us in tents and send us off.

Joel Grigsby

Gawa

My most enjoyable and memorable part of the King lake camp was the opportunity to consolidate and form valuable friendships between tribe members as well as our tribe leaders Alex and Ms Utting. Over the course of camp, I learnt many valuable lessons such as how to cook with a Trangia stove and create a fire with flint and steel. The highlight of camp was definitely the high ropes course.

Emma Carroll

Miram I enjoyed the walks in the forest. It was great to be immersed in the environment. It was good to learn specific facts about animals and the ecosystem, and I also learnt to co-operate well with a range ofpeople. The activity I enjoyed most was the free fall and a highlight was hiking to camp out in tents.

Thomas Afford

I enjoyed camping during Kinglake Camp. I loved being out in nature and getting to experience a new environment. It was very refreshing and exciting to camp underneath the stars, and the sounds and forest were very calming. I bonded with my tribe members and developed my teamwork skills. I challenged myself, and through doing so I learnt more about myself, my capabilities, and my personal challenges.

The leap of faith was the highlight for our tribe. This involved climbing up a vertical tree trunk and then jumping offand freefalling around 8 metres whilst your teammates caught you by pulling on ropes. It really challenged all of us and saw many overcome their fear of heights. We were forced to trust our teammates, and this was a positive bonding activity for all. Overall, I appreciated this experience for providing opportunities which allowed me to challenge myselfand push my boundaries.

Poppy Hughes

Uu-Gup

Wimbirr We enjoyed the opportunity to meet new people and use teamwork in an environment we would not normally be exposed to. We learnt how to manage with limited resources and make the best of what we had as a team. Our route between one of the campsites became slightly unconventional when we took a wrong turn and ended up in dense shrubbery. We managed to stay positive and created our own path back to civilisation, sometimes forcing our way through foliage, but eventually the hard work paid offand we emerged back on the track with more experience under our belts and a memory we won't forget.

We enjoyed camping and hiking. It was a unique experience to camp in Kinglake. Doing it with students from school was nice as we interacted with people we don't always get to know at school.

Most of'Uu-Gup' enjoyed the high ropes and climbing during the camp. This was exciting and exhilarating for some but also very challenging for those of us who are not keen on heights and not as trusting of ropes'

King lake camp was a lot of fun because we got to spend time with and get to know a small group ofpeople while also having chances to mix with other groups. I especially enjoyed simple things like playing volleyball and walking with friends. A highlight for my tribe was playing nostalgic games like camouflage as well as the seesaw activity I look back on camp as a welcome change ofpace full ofjokes and challenges (and good food!) that allowed me to talk to different people.

It was great to learn about setting up camp as well as camp cooking. We did a goodjob keeping hunger at bay with plenty of nice food to share around

Throughout camp, I enjoyed the innovative activities and the connectivity that was built in the tribes. I really enjoyed camping and spending time with my friend in my tribe doing activities such as bush meditation and Japanese forest bathing (shinrin-yoku). I learnt a lot about the forest and native values of the land, such as whether the forest was old growth or regrowth, the aboriginal names of certain animals, and what plants are useful. The main highlight for my tribe was the leap of faith. We all took turns jumping offan 8-meterhigh platform, which was a thrilling experience. Overall, the camp was an amazing experience. Even though our tribe didn't win I'm grateful for the opportunities and the memories from the experiences on camp.

I learnt a lot about our land and original peoples' stories through an Aboriginal lecture that was great. I also learnt more about the people that surround me at school and formed new friendships as well.

The highlight was the camaraderie with my tribe; I learnt a lot about them. I loved the 'Leap of Faith' and the 'Tribal Council' where we banded together and won chips that eventually ended with the final victory for our tribe. This was a fun and vibrant camp that connected everyone through action, friendships, learnings, nature and opportunity

International Students These last two years have been exceptional for our international students. When COVID first hit last year, no-one knew how long it would last. Given the uncertainty many of our international students went home in Term 1. For those who remained it was the beginning of one long trip away from home and their family, Initially, students were accommodated in homestays in Melbourne before we sought assistance from our wonderful College community, These hosts have been invaluable in providing not only accommodation, but a home away from home, inviting them in and making our students feel like they belong. Other students were lucky enough to have family in the region to stay with, and while they have spent a lot of time with aunts, uncles, and cousins, only a very few have been able to see their parents in the last two years, For those who went home, their challenges were entirely different. They went online and have been remote ever since. Their numbers dwindled as they chose different paths such as local schools, foundation courses at university, or finished their VCE studies. This year it was just Hinano left studying online from Japan, These students, here and at home, are champions for not only completing their studies through various lockdowns but enduring the added stress of isolation without complaint. And for our younger international students, it isn't over yet, Jane Sampson (International Student Coordinator)

In March 2020, when COVID cases appeared in Geelong, I decided to return home to Japan, I was scared I wouldn't be able to see my family in such uncertain times. At the time, I remember feeling a bit excited by the thought that the Easter holiday may be extended by a week, without knowing what sort of danger we were about to encounter. I rushed to get on the last flight from Melbourne to Tokyo, assuming that I would be back at the College in a couple of weeks. Yet soon after, my assumption proved too optimistic,

The hardest part for me in 2020 was facing the reality that I was one of two students studying remotely. Although I initially struggled to concentrate, I soon learnt to study efficiently. However, it was disappointing that I was not having the 'highschool life' I had dreamed of when moving to Australia from Japan and the United States. I scrolled through my camera roll for hours to see how amazing it was to have friends around me to talk to about the most ridiculous things in recess or comfort one another when we had a bad day, I missed having friends next door to have a random chat with while munching on delicious granola bars that our Boarding House matron made and sitting in the classroom looking forward to discovering what's new to learn, When Year 12 started, the activities I surrounded myself with distracted me from my discontent, With intensified schoolwork, extracurricular activities in Japan, and completing applications to universities in four countries, I barely had time to complain. Occasionally other students joined the Teams call due to lockdown in Victoria, which made me feel less isolated. Even when I was the only student on Teams, my teachers were always there for me, They were willing to spare their time for a tutorial, or to discuss any questions and issues I had, both academically and personally, often going beyond the study design. Another upside of studying remotely was that I had more time to get involved in several extracurricular activities. Some of the most notable include being chosen as one of12 Global Youth UN Ambassadors in Japan, where I discussed the issues of water and sanitation with students from 25+ countries and founding a student organisation which provides a platform for Japanese students to discuss global issues in fortnightly workshops and that shares interviews with students from different countries discussing the issue in their country they feel most concerned about, Also, I conducted an independent research project to determine whether studying abroad made students more inclined to solve global issues and I was chosen

as a member of the Hayama Youth Advisory Council for Global Strategy in my town in Japan, to advise the mayor about how to promote diversity and inclusion. Although I am 8,000 km away from where I wanted my 'highschool life' to be, I am grateful for the support I received from the College. The warm and friendly atmosphere, the dedicated teachers who are so passionate about what they teach and always willing to offer extra help, and warm-hearted friends who bring joy and inspiration. I look forward to using the skills, knowledge, and attitude the College helped me develop over the past 2 ½ years when I start my new journey at university, where I hope to study international relations. More importantly, I cannot wait to go back to say a big Thank You to everyone I was fortunate enough to meet at The Geelong College. Hinano Arai (Year 12 student learning remotely in Tokyo)

In the past two years, choices played an important role in my life. And there is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic taught me why it is necessary to think every decision through carefully. After each video call with my parents, I always try to recall what my 'home' looks like. I am afraid that the longer I stay here, the more I might forget. Maybe everything inconvenient should be blamed on COVID, but I am the person who is responsible for making the decision to leave my family whom I have missed for nearly 700 days. Although what happens to me sounds tough and painful, people around me have redefined the meaning of 'home': it is every one of you who provides me with warmth and kindness that is just like my own family, and it's more than I ever expected. I remember when I was still in China at the beginning of 2020, there were no cars on the road, no one was walking around, the whole city's energy and life were replaced by silence mixed with anxiety. With sadness, I left my home wondering when I would see my family again. The first significant decision that I had to make in 2020, like a railroad switch, drove my direction to adulthood along a pre-destined independent track.

Soon after I arrived, COVID-19 also snuck into Australia. With more severe COVID restrictions, quite a few international students decided to go home. Once again, I had to make a choice: should I go back to China or stay here going through the whole lockdown in a homestay and waiting for better conditions in the future? I decided to stay in Australia. For the first time in my life, I had to live with a family I had never met for the next few months at a homestay in Melbourne. When I recall things that happened last year, it was hard, but I enjoyed discovering greater independence. Sometimes I miss my mum and dad. Throughout the past two years, I was lucky enough that school took great care of me, looking for homestays and then a College family for me. I was lucky enough to have my first official Christmas with the Hopes. Life with the Hopes is usually ordinary. However, those ordinary events in the household make me really feel that I am at home: providing me with somewhere to stay during holidays, cooking some Chinese dishes to make me feel at home, inviting me to their Friday night dinner during school term just to catch up, letting me get to know their friends and other family members ... I fear I cannot finish listing everything great they have done for me. I am truly grateful for everything this surrogate family has offered me. Besides school life, boarding life is the biggest part especially during COVID. It is boarding that provides a place for me to stay and takes away any concern about where to go every time lockdown starts. Many years from now, when I ask myself what I miss most about Mackie, it will definitely be the kindness and the respect from not only boarders but also tutors. Even though my home is calling me, I won't easily forget those precious memories of my first home in Australia. How time flies. In 2020, I may have longed for time to go faster, but by the end of 2021, I am standing at the end ofmy school journey, wishing that time can take me back to the start. Edison Hang (Year 12 student in boarding)

Debating 2021 Debating had its highs and lows; however, we adapted quickly and posed some impressive debates, in person and on MS Teams or Zoom, The year started with House debating. Keith won the junior level and Coles won the senior debates. Our inter-school tournament - hosted by the Debaters Association of Victoria - is the largest high school debating competition in the world, so it is remarkable that Gee long College posted impressive results at all levels. Debates are scored out of 100 points, with 75 being a standard, high quality speech, Any score deviating from this can cause a debate to be won or lost, thus scores of 76 and 77 are particularly impressive. This year, there were large numbers of Year 9 and 10 debaters, demonstrating significant potential. The Year 9 Team 1 won its first three debates, losing only in the final round of the year. Standout achievements include Eliza Sawides scoring an impressive 78, Stella Rixon and Annabelle Hutchings scoring 77 points, with Annabelle earning Best Speaker. The Year 9 Team 2 lost its first debate, but they won the next two, with Neil Harlapur and Joshua Whan scoring 77 and 76 respectively in the second debate. Although neither team made finals, all Year 9 debaters showed great skills, with many highlighting their skills in the Year 9-10 House Debating Competition. Year 10 had two full teams and both progressed to Playoff 2. The strong Year 10 Team 1 had an exceptional season, with Hannah Phung, Georgia Phung and Molly Harris all being awarded Best Speaker for at least one debate. All team members, who included Edwina Royce and Agnes Ambrose, scored at 76 or above in at least one of their debates, reflecting outstanding skill, competence, and confidence at C Grade. C Grade Team 2 also progressed to round 2 of the Playoffs, with excellent debates from Rodeen Sadeghinad (Best Speaker with a score of 77). as well as Tom Afford, who earned Best Speaker two weeks in a row with scores of77 and 78.

It is clear the Year 9 and 10 teams demonstrated incredible resilience and motivation to participate in DAV Debating and their results reflect this effort! All Year 9 and 10 debaters should be incredibly proud of their achievements, and we wish them all the best for next year and beyond!

The Year 1 ls and 12s were similarly successful. Though COVID restrictions only allowed for one in-person debating round at Geelong Grammar, it was fantastic to see the exceptional calibre of debating skills on display. The Year 12 A Grade team and Year 11 B Grade team advanced to the playoff rounds against schools from across Victoria. Evelyn Coorey, Lily Hylands, and Playoff 1 competitors Bailey Gait, Peter George, and Lauren McDougall propelled the Year 1 ls to Playoff 2, where they fell short in a discussion about the efficacy of grassroots movements in a corporate world. The Year 12s were not only able to make it to Playoff 2, but successful in advancing to the Octa-Finals after condemning the affirmative team's wishes to overthrow Vladimir Putin. We captains were elated to walk into each debate, and especially so alongside amazing debaters Archer Drummond, Sarah Solly, and Ella Alexander, Everyone markedly showed improvement in their speaking abilities. Unfortunately, our successful year had to end and did so at the hands of Kilvington Grammar who narrowly elucidated why we don't need to criminalise a failure to report serious crimes. Special mention to Eliza Sawides (Year 9) and James Afford (Year 12) who were awarded a Swannie for getting highest average score in their grade in the Geelong Region and Agnes Ambrose (Year 10) for progressing to the finals of the DAV intermediate public speaking competition. The complexity and depth of the topics debated by all students (especially those who made it to playoffs and finals) speaks to the competence ofTGC debating this year. We owe many thanks to Ms Green, Ms Mahoney, and Mr Naylor for their commitment to debating. Indeed, we especially thank Ms Athol-Mary Mahoney who has been involved with TGC Debating since 1994. For almost 25 years, she has led debating at TiC. Her organisation of teams, excellent understanding of topics and the technicalities of debating have assisted hundreds of debaters. An outstanding contribution! We wish her all the very best for her retirement. We look forward to hearing about the performance of our debaters in future years, as we are sure they'll continue to excel and improve their public speaking.

Geelong College Rainbow Alliance (GCRA) As a Year 12, being involved in the Geelong College Rainbow Alliance (GCRA) has been the most fulfilling leadership and personal experience of 2021. The GCRA is a student-run group that meets to discuss issues affecting members of the LBTIQA+ community and create a safe space for students to be themselves. We are based at Senior School, with members across a range of sexualities, genders and year levels. We welcome all members of the community, as well as allies who come to support their friends and the wider issues the GCRA stands for. Despite an interrupted year, the GCRA has grown and engaged with more students and staff than ever before. Apart from fortnightly meetings, which continued through lockdown over MS Teams, the GCRA hosted a meeting with some School Prefects to outline our concerns, some of us have spoken at Middle and Senior School assemblies and we have interacted with students from Sacred Heart, St Joseph's and Clonard College. The Pride Flag was flown during June (Pride Month) to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of members of the LGBTIQA+ community to our school and to raise awareness. This was a symbolic action that had an overwhelmingly positive impact.

Although it may seem scary from the outside, I would highly encourage any students who are interested in joining the GCRA to attend a meeting. 18 months ago, I was too scared to show up, I completely understand that the idea can seem intimidating. But once you step into that classroom and have a couple of Mr Joyce's chocolates, you will realise how accepting, supportive and hilarious the GCRA is. Personally, participating in the GCRA has been incredibly empowering. As College Co-Vice Captain, it brought me such joy and pride to propose ideas and discuss the views of the GCRA with the Principal, Heads of Senior School, School Prefects and peers. As a younger student, I was doubtful this would be possible. However, this year, when I had these conversations, others were supportive, excited by the GCRA's ideas and wanted to help us achieve our goals. To members of The Geelong College community, whether you are a student, staff, family member or school worker, I would like to highlight that the students are leading the way in making our College even more compassionate, and that there is always hope for a more loving and open future. Finally, I would like to thank all students I have met through the GCRA, as well as Mr Joyce for all his thankless behind-thescenes work and unwavering support. Josie Horne, GCRA Chair 2021

Unfortunately, lockdowns restricted our achievements this year, with GCRA meetings at Middle School cancelled multiple times and lockdown falling on "Wear It Purple Day", cancelling our lunchtime music performance, rainbow bake sale and posters display.

High hopes were held for the Year 2021 as the Middle School looked to relaunch and find its rhythm after a tumultuous year in 2020. Whilst there was some welcome blue sky early in the year, the dark COVID clouds were to return and bring with them another few rounds oflockdowns and Remote Learning. We were able to tick off several rites of passage events along the way to ensure it was another memorable year at the Middle School in 2021. Experiential learning is always a feature of any year at Middle School and despite some nervous moments, each year level was able to head off on camp to their usual locations. The Year 4s had their camp postponed but were able to spend 3 days in Healesville late in November, the Year Ss visited Halls Gap for 4 days in Term 3, the Year 6s ventured to Melbourne for 3 days in Term 1 and the Year 7s spent a week in Marysville at the beginning of Term 2. The build up to the Year 8 Camp was like no other. The Operating Guidelines for Schools throughout the coronavirus pandemic determined that school camps, excursions and incursions were not permitted at the beginning of Term 4, yet the determination and diligence of staff planning confirmed that the camp would go ahead if the lights turned from red to green and as luck would have it, the status of experiential learning activities changed just in time for the Year 8 cohort to head down to the Otways for their 8-day adventure. Whilst the weather gods served up an initial 3 days of rain and wind making for an incredibly challenging start, the sun found its way through the clouds to make sure the camp would remain an enormous achievement for the Year 8s.

Despite interruptions throughout the year, it has been pleasing to have the students back together on campus. The agility and willingness of staff have guaranteed that learning has continued, no matter which platform it has been facilitated through. Whether it was extending the Year 8 Production (Peter Pan) into Term 3, launching straight into Remote Learning after another snap lockdown or enduring the weather in the Otways, the staff have continued to put the best interests of their students first to ensure their experience is everything it could possibly have been. Given all that has been missed in the past few years, we must continue to remain optimistic and focus on all of things we get to do, rather than the things we've got to do.

Learning occurs both in the body and the brain At Middle School, we highly value the ability of our students to delve into learning both intellectually and bodily, through the physicality of experience. It is important to us therefore that our students are provided with opportunities to engage with their learning through hands-on, practical, and exploratory means, providing concrete experiences on which to affix abstracted knowledge. We know that when students gain insight or clarity in this way, grounded in experience, the result is a richer, deeper understanding of fundamental content knowledge. It is perhaps for this reason that the Middle School is so aptly known as the 'Explore' stage of a student's life at Geelong College. As we come to the end of, yet another Coronavirus impacted year, it has been essential for us at the Middle School to hold onto the experiential nature of our programs, particularly when blessed with time together with our students on site. From cooking in our kitchen, to clay building in our art spaces and performing on our stage in Robertson Hall, students at the Middle School have been able to experience a 2021 that has been experiential, in spite of extended periods learning from home.

Furthermore, our Middle School teaching and learning staff have been working towards a greater understanding of the principles of Neuroscience, under the guidance of Neuroscientist in residence, Dr Jared Cooney Horvath. As a team we have begun to ponder the possibilities that knowing more about how learning occurs in the brain can further inform us as educators. From gaining insight into why spoken words and images mix well; when spoken and written words do not, to interleaving practice to boost performance, rather than using massed practice on independent skills, there has been a lot to discuss and discover. Most importantly though is that perhaps this year, a year with much to teach us, was best placed to also teach us this. Knowledge acquisition can be context specific. In other words, ifwe learn specific skill sets in one particular environment, when we are asked to recall them again, we can do so, usually only in the environment in which we first bed down the knowledge or skill. By taking our learning outside, exploring the same or similar skill sets in different locations, and maintaining the exploratory nature of our programs, we have been able to curate for our students a wider net of experience from which they can recall and redraw information. This then, leads me to wonder... without the opportunity that the Coronavirus pandemic has provided, would we have learned this lesson so well?

If at the end of Year 8 you could say our students have developed resilience, flexibility, and adaptability we would be incredibly proud. If nothing else in this interrupted year, our terrific Year 8 cohort have done just this. 'Be of Courage' was our 2021 motto. Showing courage can be exhibited in many ways. Our students have demonstrated grit; they have 'put themselves out of their comfort zones', they've shown vulnerability and recognised and celebrated positive norms. Our wonderful mentors led by example early in the year with Mr Ryan Bell and Miss Imogen Brough singing and performing for our Year 8s, modelled 'putting themselves out there'. Mrs Nichol spoke to the year level about her transition into our school this year, revealing her vulnerability. This then set the tone for some outstanding student performances in the 1st term, setting the tone for our year level to be comfortable within themselves and to treat each other with courtesy, kindness, and respect. With limited time at school this year, we celebrated some significant events. Our Year 8 retreat saw our students engage in and enjoy each other's company, participating in various activities like rock climbing, 10 pin bowling and Supa Tramp. The Swimming sports was also a key event for our emerging House Leaders to shine as well as it being an event where we came together and connected.

Term 3 saw our Year 8 Production come to life. A wonderful achievement for our creative students and staff. Its success was celebrated by all who witnessed it. The Athletics day was also a highlight. A beautiful sunny day that brought about many a smile and again reinforced that school is so much more than just what happens in a classroom. The Cre8 Project in Terms 3 and 4 was a highlight of our year. For many, this project gave them great joy and direction. Countless hours were committed to these passion projects. We were fortunate to share the students' joy at a modified Cre8 Expo. Term 4 built to a crescendo and our 8 Day Otway Camp. A once in a lifetime experience for many, a 'rite of passage', that tests, our 'Be of Courage' theme. Resilience and determination were required but it reinforced again the notion of working together and supporting each other that was evident and on show for all to see. The Middle School has been a journey for our Year 8 students. We feel this year has provided them with some amazing life skills that will hold them in great stead as they move into a new journey at Senior School.

United together - a catch cry that captures the year that was, and a sentiment that has proved to be a guiding principle for our Year 7 cohort this year. Having all experienced the trying and confronting conditions of 2020, it has been so heartening to witness the positivity and willingness to engage, from our Year 7 students. With enthusiasm, gratitude and a sense of eager anticipation, our students embarked on their first year of Secondary School. Although interrupted, condensed and somewhat disjointed, 2021 has provided an abundance of activities that reflect the offerings of life at The Geelong College. From APS sport, year level Kahoots, IDP and Drama dance activities, to House sporting events, L2L excursions and SRC barbecues, the academic year has been filled with opportunities. At the core of all activities was the growth of self and the connection with peers and staff. It was with enormous gratitude that staff and students thoroughly enjoyed the Year 7 camp at Camp Marysville. This experience further cemented the approach that seemed to be inherent in all students -the need to seize every experience, immerse oneself in the opportunity and celebrate the outcomes. The unwavering approach of our Year 7 cohort was further demonstrated when thrust into Remote Learning experiences over the course of the year. It was with awe that we observed the seamless transition into this environment, whilst acknowledging the very real learning outcomes for students. Although distanced physically, our students generated a united approach.

Looking forward to 2022, our Year 7 collective demonstrated that they know what it means to be a member of The Geelong College community. They have acted with kindness, courtesy, and respect; striving to meet the values of the College. The hardships confronted this year; of which there have been many - along with the demeanour of our students, have allowed for significant personal growth. It is this growth that allows our students the confidence to take on the challenge of Year 8. Helen Keller reminds us that, ''Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." I urge our cohort to live this sentiment and to continue to be champions for each other.

The Years 4, 5 and 6 programs have continued to evolve as the teachers and students navigated through a range of learning settings throughout the year. This year continued to reinforce the fact that education and learning happens best when working in the presence of and with others. The philosophy and culture of the Upper Primary year levels is driven by relationships with peers and teachers, whilst aligning to our Middle School values of Kindness, Courtesy and Respect. Students have shown tremendous resilience and focus to continually motivate themselves for the uncertainty that each new day brings. We started the year full of optimism that the long stints in Remote Learning were a thing of the past and onsite learning would be back in 2021. However, life and school can change very quickly. The agility and adaptability that the staff and students displayed must be recognised, as they shifted their learning focus continually. The resolve to find a way together, to stay determined and upbeat, will hold us in good stead as we look to the future. Year 4 focussed their learning around four major questions which drive student focus in a range of rich and engaging experiences in Literacy, Numeracy, and Inquiry. I have enjoyed working with all Year 4 students in Novel study, Writing, Garden time and Triple R. Cooking activities are a highlight; learning about food, preparing, and sharing has a warm community feel to it. The students experienced a range of excursions throughout onsite learning, complementing, and reinforcing the learning that the Year 4 Learning Mentors promote.

Throughout the year, our four Year 5 classes collaboratively focussed their learning on a range of topics. Learning Mentors engage and work with a range of students in all homerooms, both in small groups and across homerooms. Students have enjoyed learning about Australian History through novels and have had the opportunity to learn about Coding, Robotics and Making in Inquiry. The Year 6 Learning Mentors have focussed on developing a positive learning culture, enabling development of strong relationships, and encouraging differing modes of learning. Students have studied a range of novels, dissecting, and analysing the many themes and motifs within them and the Space Fair was a significant highlight for me, seeing the incredible work the students displayed and the positive outcomes. This year, although challenging, still enabled camps to go ahead, sports days to happen and excursions to run and our students demonstrated courage, resilience, and agility. I thank our staff for their immense strength and commitment to the students, the students for continually doing their absolute best and our wonderful supportive parents.

Retreat Day The opportunity to work together collaboratively, discuss relevant social issues and be physically active with our peers was a great way to start our Year 8 journey. I was a new student starting Year 8 at the beginning of the year. Being a year with few new students, it would have seemed that it would be a challenge to make friends, however it turned out to be the opposite. One of the main things that helped me settle in was the rock-climbing retreat day, On this day my class went to THE ROCK in Geelong, where we all had heaps of fun, but more than that it was an incredible opportunity to get to know your classmates and just settle into the start of the year, I found this a great opportunity to make new friends in a fun and safe environment. The other benefit of the retreat was that many of us were able to discover new talents and hobbies. Ultimately the retreat day was an amazing experience that helped everyone become comfortable in each other's company and have a good time. Alex Hutchins

During the 'Man oh man!" presentation, we talked about what a real man is. All men are different. We talked about when you are with specific company you may do or say things that when the dust settles, you will regret. We called this being in the 'man box.' Throughout our talk, Gabe, our guest speaker, and Mr. Orr asked us to close our eyes and put our hand up ifwe genuinely cared about somebody in the room; everybody put their hand up. This just shows that men can care too, Finally, we talked about how it is ok to share emotions; cry, be scared, be happy, It is all normal. Thank you, Mr. Orr and Gabe! Joshua Ames

Guest speakers shared their expertise and spoke with us about sexting, healthy relationships, and the ways in which we can experience trust and keep ourselves safe and healthy. We learnt to always have consent from the person before sending anything.

Retreat Day The Year 8 Retreat Day was a golden opportunity for students to begin their final year at Middle School with intent. Students were given the opportunity to hear from some quality guest speakers, engaging in pointed discussions relevant to their teenage lives. 'Elephant Education' ran an exceptional incursion talking to the students about relevant issues for their age, including sexuality, IT safety and respect. Students were given the opportunity to ask questions - nothing was off the table, and the group showed a great deal of trust and respect for each other. The end of the day was dedicated to excursions, and for 8B that meant spending the afternoon at Supa Tramp. The group participated in trampolining, ninja courses and rock climbing - lots of sweaty and red-faced Year 8s! This event allowed students to connect with their classmates in a fun and engaging way. It was encouraging to see the interactions between both new and old students, and the respectful way the students conducted themselves. With an interrupted 2020, and some new students to the school in our class, this proved to be one of the highlights of the year for 8B. As we spent more time in home learning across 2021, we were able to reflect and appreciate what a fun-filled day, and great opportunity for discussion and connection, Retreat Day provided. Louise Brennan & Daniel Thomson (8B Mentors) "We learnt what to do ifyou get stuck in a situation related to IT safety" Coco "It was really fun getting to know our new class better" Daisy "We talked about some confronting things we might come across as growing teenagers" Coco "My highlight of the semester was the trip to Supa Tramp. It was great fun!" Tom "We learnt why people do what they do, and why it is wrong" Coco "The people from 'Elephant Education' were so informative, and I felt like I could relate to what they were saying" Poppy "Retreat Day was such a fun way to start my Gee long College journey" and "we got to meet new people" Charlie, Iggy

Find the fun! This year in BC our goal has been to "find the fun!" We have been sharing stories, playing games, laughing at jokes, and continuing to create a space for us to connect. Here are our favourite moments of"Fun in 2021" We found fun in 2021 by being able to perform our Middle School Production "Peter Pan", without Covid-19 interfering too much. We also loved that music was a big factor in staying positive. Olivia Rodrigo's "Driver's Licence" was a favourite! Laura McQuillan, Hannah Dunton, Romy Heard & Rose Jones

Playing in APS was a big challenge for us (especially for those of us in the Firsts), as our competitors were bigger and stronger, but that didn't stop us! Overall, it was a great experience, as we made new friends and it brought a sense of competition and teamwork. Mitch Bickett & Aidan Cummins

My "Fun in 2021" was performing at Assembly on the drum kit and being in a band with my friends. It's been such an enjoyable passion of mine, especially being able to record music. Will York

"Fun in 2021" has been to compete in APS Football and Cricket with my friends and to travel on the bus to Melbourne. Our football team was great, and we only lost the one game for the year! Charlie Richmond

We have had a wide range of experiences that shaped who we are now. Interacting with our peers has changed because of more Remote Learning but that hasn't stopped us from keeping in touch with our friends all the time. Some memorable moments we have experienced this year are all the excursions we had for Electives. The homeroom excursion when we went to the Bellarine mini golf centre in Wallington was great! Savidu Kapuhen Thuduwage, Eddie James

One of our key highlights of the year was the poetry assessment; we enjoyed hearing other classmates' poems because each one of them had unique parts and strengths in their pieces.

Farewell Middle School I honestly couldn't pick out a 'best thing' from my amazing time at Middle School. As a student who arrived at College during Year 7, I found everyone to be so accepting and felt so welcome. I had never moved schools before, and as my first experience, it felt amazing for people to accept a newcomer in such short period of time. I live quite a distance from school and take a bus and on the first day I was late. I turned up with my bag on my back and no clue as to what to do, but there is always a 'tribe' of people waiting to help you and within no time at all, I was organised and ready for the jam-packed year ahead. There were so many exceptional memories made during time in Middle School. Sometimes, the most emotional, the most relatable and the best memories you can remember, happen during the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected places! The Year 8 production of'Peter Pan' was a highlight as it was a dream of mine since Year 4 to be in the production and it came true. The Year 8 Electives are a highlight as I could show my creative and artistic side. I love Art and this was fun and engaging. Cre8 is a highlight in Year 8, and it is giving me a lot of new skills and knowledge to help me build my project.

Memorable moments During Remote Learning, we often turned off our microphones and video when we were working independently, and I love singing! (I'm not too good at it!) Unfortunately, I was humming away with my mic ON! The seconds that followed had the potential for me to have permanent red cheeks for the rest of my life. The thing that I found funny; every single year, was at the end of the year when the winning house would be announced. The most fun and imaginative ways were always used to announce the winning house which always made me laugh. I am going to miss Middle School, but look forward to what lies ahead.

CRE82021 Cre8 is an opportunity to express our creative imagination and challenge our inventive capabilities to develop original ideas fuelled by a passion or a desire to help the community. My aim was to generate an original and innovative idea that would help the community during the COVID pandemic. I came up with the idea of a motion sensor rubbish bin that automatically opens and closes to allow disposal of waste without infecting others and prevents the spread of germs from contact. With social isolation there were challenges for my mentor to offer face to face support, but tutorials and videos were helpful, and my mentor guided and managed my project through online interviews and check ins and our relationship developed as the project became a reality. I have developed an understanding of mechanics as well as exploring, developing, and applying new creative skills. I have always had a passion for animals and the Cre8 project provided an opportunity to volunteer at Jirrahlinga (a local wildlife sanctuary). I was interviewed and gained a student placement so I could complete voluntary work at the sanctuary. COVID -19 lockdowns have been a great challenge, but I have been able to manage some hours of work. It was rewarding to work with the animals, interacting with the public and staff. I learned new skills and worked with children and people with disabilities. I've grown in independence and self- direction and have enjoyed the challenges of managing a section of the park, which involved feeding, cleaning enclosures, and handling the animals. I've realised that I love working not only with the animals, but also with people. I love the ocean and surfing, so making a surfboard was a perfect opportunity to use Cre8 to explore and develop the project as well as finding out what happens in the process. We found a board maker in Torquay who helps adults and children make their own boards. Lockdowns created challenges with physical visits, but we communicated and discussed measurements, colour and physical attributes and our relationship has developed as we meet to talk about the details and prepare for the hands-on work to be done.

Electives The electives program offered at the Middle School has grown over the years and a significant number of new electives have been added to reflect the growing interest from the student body in diversifying what they want to learn about and how they want to learn. The current electives on offer cover a range of topics from the arts, writing, maths, environment, coding, performance, sports, cooking, photography, wellbeing, and robotics. That extensive list does not even cover all the learning that is on offer! The electives program was created to offer students a variety of learning opportunities outside of core subjects, where students could immerse themselves in areas of particular interest whilst building on core skills covered in the rest of the curriculum. Students have had the opportunity to visit galleries, tech schools, sports institutes, and kitchen gardens to name a few, and grow skills that are useful in a variety of settings, from the home to eventual workplaces students will be in. Our College aims to provide an inspiring education where all students can learn, flourish, be innovative and harness their many skills and abilities and we believe that the electives program is an important part of fulfilling that vision for our students. Some student reflections on the electives program: In Cutting Edge, I have learnt how to make a ring not knowing anything at the start to now knowing how to put a diamond in one. I really enjoyed creating the rings and am super grateful for this opportunity. In Photobomb, I enjoyed being creative with photography through the eye ofa lens. In Vintage Revamp, I discovered the endless possibilities that surround fashion designs and their creation. We learnt how the body operates in In the Zone and how to perform at your peak level. I enjoyed learning about the factors that affect sports fitness. I enjoyed working with my hands and creating different models out ofclay (Earth and Fire).

Sport and Music It's amazing, coming to a school that offers so many opportunities to play sport. I love every minute of PE; it is so much fun, and I get the opportunity to try something new like volleyball. I have never played volleyball but learning the rules and watching how it is played is great. APS is the thing that I most look forward to on weekends. Playing tennis with the Year 8s was great and a good learning opportunity. I loved football this year; catching the bus early in the morning helped us to connect and become a real team. Our school has a great variety of APS sports which enabled me to join the equestrian team. I love that there is a sport for everyone. In 2021, I have competed in APS Football, Cricket and Athletics and enjoy competing against other schools. I have enjoyed being able to participate in PE at school with friends and being part of APS teams. Music is cherished at The Geelong College and promoted through the diverse variety of instruments and resources available to students. The teachers help the students to lean into the passion for music and use multiple engaging apps to do so. This year we used Mixcraft, helping us to engage in the technical side of music. Teachers provide the support that we need to thrive in music, making every activity fun and inclusive. Music this year has been a blast! The Instrument Discovery program gave us the opportunity to learn to play a new instrument as well as complete our music studies. The program was a highlight for me, and I am disappointed that the Remote Learning time made it impossible for us to perform together at school. Music this year has been far from our 'normal' experience. It was a challenge to keep learning whilst in lockdown as there were many obstacles that prevented us from playing together and learning the instruments we know and love.

Preparatory School - 100 Years Old It's 2021 and The Geelong College is 160 years old. The Geelong College Middle School, once the Preparatory School, also commemorated its 100th birthday this year, To celebrate this, Mr Panckridge unearthed his collector cards from the school's 150-year celebrations 10 years ago. We looked at some of the images on the cards and compared them with similar events or places of today.,. Boarding was very different then. All the students were lined up in rows. Now the students get their own space where they can do homework and relax. I have always wondered what it would be like to board with all your friends; it would be kind oflike a sleepover every night. Boarding is a very important aspect of The Geelong College because it allows students who live a long way away to come to a school in Geelong.

Harry McLean The classes had no modern materials, like TV screens. The tables were placed in a more formal way and there weren't any girls in the class. The classroom looked very dull. There weren't any paintings or class work on the walls and the classroom looked bland. All the student desks looked like they have a storage unit underneath the surface of the top. In our classrooms our tables are not separated, and we can collaborate and communicate.

Sam McCartney, Qihong He, Oliver Perry Swimming carnivals are now very different from 1923, which is almost 100 years ago. Back then, the students and teachers would spend the day at a carnival at Western Baths and have picnics. In 2021, we spend the day at the Senior School's indoor swimming pool.

Anna Beach Uniforms have changed; caps are no longer worn, the collars of the shirts are smaller now, and uniform guidelines are different. Many students were wearing socks that don't match! Even the shoes and shorts were different colours. Many students were using a satchel instead ofa backpack, and there were only male students at the school. When the Preparatory School opened, The Geelong College was an all-boys school.

APSSport The mission of APS Sport is to provide a comprehensive and high-quality sporting competition for the students at the schools of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria and thereby foster individual and team development for all, It is recognised nationally as a leading School Sport Association. In Year 7, The Geelong College students experience, for the first-time, participation in APS sport,

My favourite moment was when we were training for basketball and I randomly picked up a basketball and shot a half-court shot, which amazed me. I enjoyed the bus rides into Melbourne and meeting lots of new people. My favourite thing about APS is probably going on the bus ride and the training sessions, meeting new people from different classes and different grades. Winning against Caufield for netball was great because my cousins go to that school. It was good to just get out and about on a Saturday I enjoyed footy when we played Wesley and we won My favourite part was winning a football match against Gee long Grammar. My favourite part about APS was being part of the girls football team and girls water polo, The Head of the river at Nagambie was a highlight for me, and the bus trips to away games were fun One of my favourite things about APS was that on every bus trip someone would bring a speaker and we could all sing together. I loved the bus trips and seeing how different schools operate differently was cool. I also enjoyed meeting new people. Most ofmy team was from Year 8 and at first that was scary, but they were all super nice and it was fun hanging out with them every weekend!! My favourite part ofAPS was the cricket and athletics training. I have many good memories from the cricket especially in the game where I got 2 wickets in the opening over. APS sport gives us opportunities to play as a team, to be competitive for our school and experience friendship and team spirit

Science in Year 7 2021 started full of hope for a normal school year after the COVID disruptions of 2020. Students new to the school met students continuing from Year 6 for the first time at the start of the year and quickly formed new connections. Seating plans were changed every two weeks to help students form new friendships. A busy program of APS sports helped the settling in process. This was the first time that many students were able to work in a science laboratory. The excitement over using Bunsen burners and other Science equipment provided a great impetus to our work in Term 1. COVID re-emerged and the challenge oflearning in a hands-on subject like science was faced again. Fortunately, we were able to collect data at school for a couple of investigations which allowed us to complete the reports at home. The Astronomy Unit is perhaps the most suitable for Remote Learning and 7D rose to the challenge of preparing a report on an aspect of the unit that most interested them. This was completed in pairs and many of the features of Teams were used to do this: students became experts on setting up breakout spaces and recording videos. The one bright light in the darkness of the lockdowns was seeing the joy on students' faces each time we returned to school. Having survived 2020 and 2021 everyone is looking forward to a more normal 2022.

Friendship Year 7 is a year where students create many new friendships as they learn to appreciate each other's differences and discover more about themselves, While Remote Learning has resulted in students having less time together in the classroom, we have been impressed by the different ways they have managed to connect and support each other during this challenging time, Mr Thacker, Ms Dear and Mrs Pring

House Competition In a year of challenges and change, our House Competition has provided the opportunity to compete, enjoy the feeling of team spirit and be uplifted as we seek success for our House. The year of 2021 has had its ups and downs, with spontaneous lockdowns every month or so, but The Geelong College students still managed to compete in House activities. The Secondary House Swimming Carnival was first this year, with all houses cheering on their peers in relays and heats. The House Swimming event was one to remember. The thrill of entering the water and earning points for our houses was special, but at the end of the day Helicon came out on top. Amelia

This year we have had some great House events, and although they were all upbeat and competitive, House Athletics was one of the best. At this event, students competed in various activities such as shot put, high jump, longjump, discus and 100 and 200 metre runs as well as some great relay races that built up the competitiveness of the Houses. The day was fun for all of Year 7 and we all had a great time. Jacob

There have been many House events this year, with four Houses competing. They are Minerva, Pegasus, Bellerophon and Helicon. All Houses competed amazingly over the events this year and each person in everyHouse went home with a smile at the end of the events of the day. Maeve

This year has been a struggle. Having to get through lessons without being able to walk up to your teacher and ask for help or catch up with your friends each day is hard. The highlights of the year include all the House Competitions that we were still able to do, even though we have had multiple lockdowns. A day of cheering and battling, each House fighting for the top spot and then hearing your House being announced over the speakers, whether it is Minerva, Pegasus, Bellerophon or Helicon, brings a smile to our faces.

Year7Camp One of the pivotal experiences for 7G was the opportunity to attend Camp Marysville in Term 2. The camp serves a dual purpose; to provide opportunities to build connections that will serve students well over the coming years at The Geelong College and to prepare them for the camping experience they will encounter at Year 8 Camp in 2022. The camp at Marysville is very important because it is the best way for students to form relationships and friendships. As a result, students who are new to the school and don't know many people, feel comfortable knowing they have friends to help them through the tough times.

Hamish Camp challenged us to meet new people and make new friends in different situations. The area was beautiful, and we got to see some amazing views, especially on our hiking day Camp was a great highlight and showedjust how much fun you can have with a group of friends.

Oliver Camp was a test of our strength and confidence. Bike riding was a favourite activity because everyone was riding through a puddle and some people were stuck because it was very deep and muddy Giant swing was great fun and tested our confidence to see if we could get out of our comfort zone.

James, Phoenix I especially enjoyed bike riding. Although it was freezing cold and muddy we rode through puddles and were splattered with mud along the way We challenged and encouraged each other and had a great time.

SophieM My favourite part of camp was the 'camping out' experience. We had the task of making dinner and after that we sat around and talked. We listened to songs and sang along. I made friends with people with whom I still share funny memories from camp. I also loved how we had the responsibility to make our tents and clean up and make dinner.

Annabel We were able to pick partners for the night ofsleep out and I chose Isla. We played UNO and I enjoyed spending time with other people.

Year 6 - A Year of Reflection In what has been another unpredictable year of moving between on-site and Remote Learning, the Year 6 students have made the most of and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities this year has afforded them. The greatest highlight for many was camp in the City of Melbourne. A movie at Crown, a swim at MSAC, ten pin bowling, laser tag, a tour of the MGC and the Shrine of Remembrance, along with the opportunity to experience what it would be like to be a surgeon, a pilot or a professional athlete at Dream City.

Back at school, 6B and 6C teamed up for a combined production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as part of their Semester 1 Drama work. The performance, on location at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie, was a huge success. Meanwhile, 6A had the opportunity to support the local community through their participation in the Eat-Up program. At regular intervals across the year, students made sandwiches for students in the community who would otherwise be without lunch.

Surgery The monitor beeps rhythmically, casting an eerie glow across the mannequin's lifeless face. His belly, draped in green cloth, displays a gaping incision that yawns across his lower abdomen. I brandish the scissors, sweating profusely. My hands shake. I take deep breaths and tentatively reach in. The camera on the back wall shows my scissors wiggling like a worm. I snatch the slippery pink intestines in front of me, the scissors closing around it, like jaws clutching their prey. My heart has taken up the drums as its new profession. I pull up the intestine. Relieved, I exhale. Poppy Desmond

Laser Tag My eyes pivot, back and forth. Neon lights flash against the dark walls. Beads of sweat form upon my forehead. Stamped against a dark, crooked wall, I wait. Screaming causes the stuffy, intense room to turn to chaos. The sound of heavy breathing approaches. My heartbeat thumps in my chest, then into my head. Footsteps start to echo. Someone is getting closer. A neon light flashes in the opposite direction. I swish my head into the open. I take a nervous glimpse and see someone's head. The back of their head. Then back in, undercover, to where no one can see me. I fold my finger around the trigger. Then, with haste I leap out and strike the opposition. A neon light flashes.

A Performance to Remember On Monday 17th May, Year 6 students performed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in front of an audience of Prep students at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie. They gave an outstanding performance. Elsie Cook noted, "We were worried that the weather would cause disruption to the show. But to our surprise, it turned out nice and sunny". There were five scenes, and each had a different Year 6 student in the role of Willy Wonka, an Oompa Loompa and a main character. People of all ages enjoyed the performance, including members of the public, teachers and the audience of Preps. Lucy Henderson

Battery Cages Did you know that there are 11 million hens trapped in awful battery cages? Battery cages are pointless, cruel, and dangerous. They need to be stopped because they can kill animals. Too many hens are put in these cages and lose their will to live. I strongly believe that we should not use battery cages. Firstly, you need to know what a battery cage is. A battery cage is a cruel cage made entirely from metal wire. They were made to collect eggs so that once a hen lays an egg it will drop through the wire and be collected easily, What people do not know is the terrible effect battery cages have. Secondly, these unnecessary battery cages can kill animals. The cages are made completely from wire which is a big problem because the hens which are the main victim of battery cages are crammed into the battery cage and their skin rubs against the wire which leads to physical pain, injury, then death. Thirdly, hens lose their will to live. Originally, battery cages were made for harmless reasons and the only reason used to be so that the owners could easily collect eggs. Aner earning a lot ofmoney, they got more battery cages and more hens. This overwhelmed the hens and once a hen gets trapped in a battery cage, they are stuck there for their entire life, which causes the hens to lose their will to live. Finally, too many hens are put in one cage. Battery cages are only supposed to house one hen, and that might not be enough room for it. However, in battery cages, four to nine hens are put in one cage which means that each hen only has less than an A4 piece ofpaper worth ofspace, which is not enough room for a hen. Battery cages are unnecessary and cruel because they can kill animals. Hens lose their will to live and don't have nearly enough room.

Year5Camp There were groups of students from each class. The group you were put in was the group you would be in for the whole week. We would have to do duty every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The groups were also your activity groups, which would be assigned different activities to do each day. Here are some things that we did: A walk to the Pinnacle, a walk to Clematis falls, a high ropes course, archery, orienteering, The Amazing Race, and other fun things. The food was okay, the best meal would have had to be the wraps. A lot of the meat dishes gave people food poisoning. There were about 3-4 people who would get it each night. It was horrifying!! Duty groups would have to set up and clean up after people had finished and started their meals. They would be in the kitchen washing the dishes for at least 30mins. If not, teachers would do it, if the group was lucky! My favourite camp memory would probably be the last night at Halls Gap when we were all sitting around the campfire. At least ten people told camp stories. They all told stories about what happened in their cabins, on their activities, or just general breakfast, lunch, and dinner stories. They were all scary, hilarious, and crazy! NinaNewett

Blackwater Nothing will stand in my way. I will charge on until I reach the unknown. One touch and I will cease your senses and make them my own. I am angry, and I am hungry for anything, or anyone who dares to come near. I will surge past anything in my wake. Come to me, I dare you, and walk towards your death. You will never forget my cold unforgiveness that tore you apart and filled you with dread. You never came back to me. I am alive. I am the Blackwater. Harry Cook I am the Blackwater. Anyone who dares to tamper with me will feel the consequences. You will be silenced, no one will hear you yell for help. I am dark and murky; you can't see through me. People will come looking for you, poking sticks beneath the surface trying to find an answer. But they will have no luck. I have warned you and I won't repeat myself. I am the Blackwater.

Camp Reflection My favourite camp memory We had opportunities to play board and card games in the morning and afternoon. My favourite memory was watching Dylan and Cy playing god-mode chess where pieces could almost do anything at any time and take out any number of pieces a turn, Like a horse could suddenly just take a king and a pawn could take a queen. It was memorable because it was very funny! Something I learnt about myself during Camp I am much more tired once I have done a lot and talked a lot, When I get tired, I noticed that I become quiet, and I am not as social. This highlighted to me how important sleep is. I also learnt to talk to go out of your comfort zone and talk to other people about other things. I did this at the dining table when we were having meals together. My favourite activity Abseiling was my favourite activity because it was freaky knowing there is one rope holding you up from falling a long way down. The first few steps when you had to lean back a lot was scary and then it was just like letting rope out and walking down the cliff, This is an activity I'd love to do again. My favourite night activity Trivia night on the second night was my favourite activity because everyone from Year 5 was there and it was like an off-screen team Kahoot with everyone in Year 5. The questions were varied so it matched everyone's box. There was a scoreboard that made it fun and games in-between to get more points for your cabin, We came 3rd which was very exciting, Our group worked well because we all put our ideas together.

Secateurs Ad Astra With the comings and goings of 2021, the Enviro Garden was an especially important place in the hearts and minds of our Year 4 students. For the teachers, the garden is central in the delivery of the academic program. It is a teaching resource that knows no bounds. Learning opportunities present themselves in spades, If you want to learn to write with the precision and sensitivity of Haiku master Matsuo Basho, or if you are learning from the meditations of the Romantics such as Wordsworth - then head for the garden for inspiration, Or perhaps it is the study of life cycles or the complexities of food webs or soil science? The garden is the place to be for experiential, engaging, memorable and meaningful learning. The year began with the students working very hard as they reconfigured the garden spaces and food-growing zones, Before planting, sowing, and watering could begin, the students relocated and reoriented a dozen garden beds and filled them with soil. 12 weeks later they had created pizzas and salads made from seasonal produce and grown by small teams in their own garden beds. In Term 2 the students created dioramas that focussed on a local animal and the web of life that allows it to survive and thrive. Many students chose to focus on the skinks, wrens, honeyeaters, silvereyes, butterflies, fantails and magpies that populate our garden, Garden stories added weight to themes of time and change that run through the Term 3 program, The recolonisation of the superb fairy wrens is always a favourite because past Enviro students were responsible for bringing back the wrens after a sustained revegetation project that took six years to achieve its aim. This year the Year 4 Volcanic Grasslands project saw our students plant over 800 grasses, daisies and lilies. This restorative project connected them to: our endangered volcanic grasslands which stretch west ofGeelong; and their Wadawurrung heritage because many of the plants were traditional sources of food and medicine, and were also used for making tools and bags, and other important implements,

Inspired by the returned soldiers ofWWl who, 100 years ago, made the Great Ocean Road, our Year 4s returned early in Term 4 from yet another lengthy lockdown, took up their shovels, and engaged in the mighty challenge of making of The Great River Road - a winding track that now runs along the top of the Enviro escarpment and leads from the carpark to beyond the Art building. It was a great way for the students to re-engage with their garden. The making of the Great River Road became a frenzy of digging, levelling, and mulching, A happy legacy from the Enviro students of 2021. At the end of the year there was full agreement from the Enviro students of2021 - they now know more about the plants and animals that live around us than their parents. The garden facilitates this significant learning in an age where our disconnection from the natural world is increasingly entrenched, The Year 4 Geelong College students are lucky. Not many schools give their students access to the land in this way. The Enviro Garden is a space where they can grow, dig, play, work, connect, think, and learn. The garden is a place where they can truly engage in the challenges of'making a difference', Congratulations to the Year 4 'Enviro' students for their work and their engagement in the challenges set before them,

Debating Congratulations to all the debaters in Year 7 and 8 for their participation in what was a different year of debating with only one of our debates taking place face-to- face. Thank you to all the debaters who put hard work and effort into their speeches, The Year 8 debaters prepared for all the debates and therefore benefited from this planning time. As a result, all students are prepared to participate in debating at Year 9 level. The face-to-face debate at Geelong Grammar on the topic 'That animal testing should be banned' led to Zara Goodall-Wilson being awarded best speaker and the affirmative team Freya Byrne, Eva Chalmers and Zara Goodall-Wilson winning against Sacred Heart College. Emmeline Smith, Mackenzie Brown and Savidu Kapuhen Thuduwage narrowly lost to Christian College but did very well on their first debate. The other debate with Audrey Jansz, Emma Martin and Nethumlee Thota Hewage on the affirmative side, which took place via Zoom at Middle School was on the topic 'That public transport should be free' and Nethumlee was awarded best speaker with her intelligent rebuttals, Year 7 Debating took place via Zoom, with both teams for Round 1 on the negative side of the topic 'That we prefer children to play team sports rather than individual sports.' Eliza-May Bartlett, Millie Agar and John Thornton won with first speaker, Eliza-May, being awarded 'best speaker'. Alice Steel, Deanie Ferdinands and Oliver Rahdon also won, with Deanie being declared 'best speaker'.

The second round of debating was on the topic That on line games should require all players to be over 18 years of age' with Geelong College representing the affirmative with James Whitehead, Violet Gilby and Vinnie Waycott and negative Atticus Lamb, Oliver Rahdon and Aryan Gupta, The Year 7s impressed the adjudicator with their structure and understanding and are encouraged to continue debating in Year 8. We found debating a great opportunity to improve critical thinking skills, articulation, and research skills. All these skills will be very useful as we continue through secondary school and VCE. Debating has also helped us to develop our English and grammar skills. We have also built up our confidence in public speaking and our ability to present in front of an audience, Once again, congratulations to all the debaters and a special thanks to coordinator Ms. Claire Wood for her support and dedication to helping us all. She truly made the whole experience possible. Zara Goodall-Wilson

Our landscape has been very different this year, not potentially what we planned nor hoped for. We have moved from week to week, and it seemed that for some of the periods, every day was different and at times we certainly did not know what to expect. This was increasingly challenging for our youngest learners, who require structure and certainty. For a period of the lockdowns, they were being sent home, with school bags prepared 'just in case' they were not able to return to school. The children, educators and parents wondered and questioned what was next. As a community the sense of place and connection has held steadfast during tumultuous times, and we continue to feel a strong sense of collaboration as we are drawn together. Despite the restrictions, the children remained central, and we ensured that quality learning experiences were delivered to engage and meet the needs of all learners. This year our Early Learning children were asked to pivot, with very little preparation to also join the Foundation to Year 3 children, learning remotely. I believe why we have been so successful in continuing the learning trajectory for our children is connection and the ongoing support of our community. Our parents have worked alongside us as co-educators, supporting the safety, well-being and learning of our Campbell House students. We reimagined and made adjustments, continuing to celebrate and feel joy, through 'Hot Chocolates' delivered to homes, Book Week parades online, fund raisers for amazing community charities and interest from the wider community in our

beautiful school. An installation of scarecrows accompanied by beautiful documentation, celebrating Sporting Colours Day and connections to our history through Ngarrweerreeng Day, 'Same but different'. We have continued to keep learning together, all of the time. Trust has not been taken for granted. Our landscape may be continually changing, the children remaining central to our hope for our resilient and bright future, collectively articulated by our Year 3 students sharing their inspiration of their happy place: Estella - Campbell House is an extended family. Vivienne - Campbell House where I smile at everyone who comes across my path, in the classroom or on TEAMs Bella - Campbell House is where you have new opportunities, it is also a great community with beautiful people. Jimmy - Is a place where everyone is happy, where you create lots of good ideas. The new buildings of Campbell House continue to shine brightly as we prepare for 2022. What keeps us together is the strong sense of connectedness that we embrace as a community. In the words of a Reggio Emilia educator, 'Life is too big and too beautiful to do alone' and we certainly do not want to!

All members of our Leadership Team committed to attending the La Trobe Uni SOLAR labs evening course, to ensure we could lead the change we wanted to see. As staff we met for regular Professional Learning based on unpacking the elements of Scarborough's Reading Rope. Teachers read research in Professional Research Teams and then implemented what was learned back in the classroom.

-. As educational professionals we are always looking for the best and most effective way to teach. A new addition to our pedagogical discoveries in Junior School has been the Science of Reading, and it excites us to embed this approach further in 2022.

It was important that this was a whole school movement, from Early Learning to Year 3. Our youngest children were introduced to daily Phonological and Oral Language instruction. Foundation children were taught to read following a Systematic Synthetic phonics approach, and guessing words was outlawed! We trialled new assessments that gave us more information about children as readers. This demonstrated the importance of valuing the child's reading skills over what we know now are insignificant reading levels. Our learning journey is not over. We have much left to explore and infuse into our practice. We are committed-to high expectations for our teachers and children alike, ensuring all our children fulfil their reading potential.

We knew this was a very important undertaking, and one we could not ignore, so 2021 began with a plan to unfold aspects of the Science of Reading, and to embed these into the teachings at Campbell House. The Science of Reading is a name given to the movement ensuring schools are employing evidence-based best practice for reading instruction. It even spans wider than reading alone, encapsulating all the elements of literacy in a framework that ensures children encounter multiple exposures to explicit skills everyday. The fast-moving field of Educational Neuroscience has provided many certainties to the best way to teach reading in recent times. As we know better, we do better, and the evidence provides the impetus for us to commit. So, we read and discussed, we learned from Professors and leading experts in the field, we purchased resources to support children and we reorganised instructional routines. We also had to let go of many old ways and be open and flexible to new learning as it was uncovered.

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

'How can we reach beyond our walls to make ourselves visible as active citizens in our community?' The children were fascinated with a number of Australia's and Geelong's major natural characteristics such as Corio Bay, Buckley Falls, The You Yangs and the Barwon River. As participants in their own learning, the children deepened their understanding of the major natural features of Australia and our local area and the different ways we can protect them. During the year we enjoyed writing for different purposes exploring persuasive, information, explanation, recount, poetry and narrative text types. When exploring each genre, we particularly focussed on text structure and organisation as well as expressing and developing our ideas. 'I strongly believe that all schools need three or more weeks of holidays because everyone needs a rest. 'Ash T 'School is where you live your best life. School is where you make lifelong friends. School is where you go up and down stairs.' Ava K 'The glistening water was shining in the sunlight: it was like I was in paradise. I decided to go on a long walk with Finn, Archie and Ryan. We packed water and food.' Tommy C 'I see the red track as I look up. I hear the gun shot to start. I feel the air plummet against my face as I sprint towards the finish line' Zara

Throughout the year the children thrived throughout 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 and Problem Solving. 'My personal strengths are being trustworthy, honest, kind and caring.' Bella W 'One ofmy personal strengths is honesty because when I made a wrong choice, I told the truth about it which made me calm.' Jennifer

Our year level project was enhanced by a transdisciplinary approach with links to our numeracy and literacy explorations. Moving from the natural characteristics and features, the children were drawn to Earth sciences and what was under our feet. "Erosion is when rain or animals cause the dirt to fall to create either flat or bumpy land." "Mountains used to be flat, but water came and washed away the dirt." "Hills were created with lava in the stone age."

The children explored how the Earth's surface has changed over time as a result of these natural processes, including erosion, volcanoes and earthquakes. During Remote Learning, the children conducted their own erosion experiment. Throughout this hands-on activity, many children used sand, flour and water to demonstrate their understanding of erosion. The children were excited to absorb new knowledge as we conducted inquiry rotations, focussing on how erosion, volcanoes and earthquakes have all contributed to our everchanging Earth surface. The children were able to construct new questions and thoughts to engage with in this topic. A highlight for the children was being able to demonstrate their knowledge and work collaboratively to build a 3D model of the Earth's layers. Our inquiry sessions deepened our children's understanding of the Earth surface which they were able to transfer into our writing sessions, where the children constructed their own explanation report. The children enjoyed utilising their literacy sessions to begin researching different facts about each layer of the Earth and both slow and fast changes to our Earth. The children created well written reports with creative images to support their own learning. "The Earth has 5 layers, the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, inner core and outer core." "Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Erosion all change our Earth's surface." "The Earth's surface is constantly changing."

Throughout our reading sessions, the children have enjoyed taking part in our explicit vocabulary sessions. These short, sharp, vocabulary lessons have allowed the children to explore and understand the context of new words which then transfers into their own writing pieces which are constructed during our literacy sessions. The children also enjoyed taking part in our daily reading rotations ofreading response, digital, reader research and guided reading which allows the children the opportunity to talk, think and read their way through a text. To build off the children's prior knowledge they were provoked with a news clip of our changing Earth, a historical flood within the Geelong community. We then asked the children, How can we learn from the past? 'We can learn from the past by making mistakes and when doing things incorrectly we can always improve.' Rhys 'Learning from your mistake.' Evie 'Our world wouldn't be this good if technology hadn't improved.' Andre 'Couldn't create things without other people trying to create it first like, for example, computers.' Liam 'Each day technology improves and people improve our technology.' Christian

Throughout the majority of Term 3 we were learning remotely via Microsoft Teams although the learning and thirst for new knowledge didn't stop. During Remote Learning we were lucky enough to have parents, carers, grandparents and other teachers share with us the past, present and future of Technology (Shane McIntosh), Aviation (Mal Richie), Geelong Football Club (Bob Gartland), Medicine and Surgery (Dr Brenda Loh, Dr Chris McGrath, Dr Rekha Ganeshalingham), Education (Dr Peter Miller) and Music, Architecture and the Church (Ms Leanne Earl) and how they have impacted and contributed to our society. 'Now you can use x-rays to see how the surgeons can figure out what happened.' Vivienne 'Gee long College and Geelong F. Care tight.' Andy

'Geelong is the second oldest sporting club in the world. 'Solomon

'In the future people will make more electronic music.' Grace

Our curiosities and ideas led us to the central idea that 'Learning from the past leads to discoveries, opportunities, change and new understandings'. As we continued to unpack how new understandings lead to developments in our world, we came to an exciting phase of our project and learning journey. The children were challenged to Think Ahead into the future and use the Design Process (Ask, brainstorm, design, build, test, improve) to plan and drive different stages of their learning by creating a product, service or model that will impact upon our ever-changing world. 2021 was a year that was ignited with a spirit of inquiry and a clear sense of purpose and intent.

Belonging in Bunjil belonging and building ...

What a year we have had in Bunjil's Nest! The children were welcomed to The Nest' with a friendly introductory video created especially for them by the 2020 Bunjil residents. In our first meeting we talked about what it meant to be a Citizen ofBunjil. In our early weeks together, we thought about 'active citizenship' and what it would look like beyond the walls of the Bunjil learning space. We read some beautiful picture books to build our understanding of community. Suri's Wall, Ming's Adventures on China's Great Wall and Iggy Peck Architect were three with whom the children connected strongly. We talked about places where people shared their creations with the community. This discussion reminded one of the children about a stone artwork featuring Bunjil that he had seen when visiting the You Yangs. He told us it was called a geoglyph. After some research we found out it had been created by Andrew Rogers, for local communities to enjoy. Andrew, we discovered had created another of these stone geoglyphs at Eastern Beach. So, the newest citizens of Bunjil packed their bags and headed for Eastern Beach and The You Yangs to view these creations. ':Jumping on the rocks was fun, it was great exploring beyond our school walls."

They experienced active citizenship beyond their walls firsthand. "Our You Yangs hike was tough and scary but it was worth it. We learnt so much from the natural environment."

Viewing these geoglyphs inspired Year 2 to design and create their own Bunjil geoglyph. It was a huge project where children worked cooperatively and tirelessly to gather and move the rocks required to create the 32-metre-wide installation! Bunjil was there as we gazed out our windows motivating us as we learnt. "I felt proud of the geoglyph we made at school. We had to make so many changes as we changed our point ofview."

Year 2

Mrs Anne-Louise O'Donoghue, Mr Nick Eley, Mrs Catherine Carah indigenous connections and compositions ...

Whilst out exploring the You Yangs we saw eagles circling high above us. We were captivated by these beautiful birds and wanted to learn more about them. At the start of Term 2, an incursion, Meet the Beaks, with Martin Scuffins was a wonderful way for the children to learn more about birds of prey and it gave them the opportunity to see a Wedge-tailed Eagle up close. "When I saw the birds with Martin Scuffins, I was so impressed with the relationship he had formed with Bunji/".

During the presentation, the children were captivated by an indigenous story about why the eagle and the falcon became enemies and this story was the provocation for the next direction our Inquiry project would take. The children began to explore indigenous stories and learnt about indigenous seasons and culture. Bunjil wove his way through our stories, our artwork, and our research into Australia's First Nation's heritage. The children wrote stories to explain How the Tasmanian Devil Got its White Stripe, about The Koala and the Eucalyptus Tree and How Owls Got Their Wisdom. We also used Martin's visit as a starting block to research birds of prey, particularly focussing on the Wedge-tailed Eagle. Viewing eagles close up through virtual reality glasses was another lens through which to learn about these spectacular birds. The children wrote, illustrated and published information reports to share their learning with each other and their families. a wonderful wardrobe and a world war...

Our stories inspired by the Dreamtime led us to muse about the theme of this Year's CBCA Book Week. New Worlds, Old Worlds, Other Worlds. We decided to use this theme to develop our history focus and chose the story The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe as our class novel for Term 3.

The story of the evacuation of Edmund, Peter, Susan, and Lucy during the London Blitz and their adventures in a 'new world' through the wardrobe, encouraged the children to think about living in 'old worlds' and in 'other worlds'. We linked C. S. Lewis' tale with our study of history and geography. The writing project 'Letters from War Torn Hearts' was the voice the children used

Year 2

to share their understanding of what it would have been like to live in times of war and uncertainty. soaring high ...

Living in uncertain times was in fact the children's reality in 'our world' during 2021. As they moved between periods of Remote Learning and learning together at school they showed an appreciation for what it is to be part of a community of learners. Even when separated by screens the children continued to learn together, listen to each other, support each other and wonder together. They shared their gratitude and rejoiced in the Bunjil way of being! These children's voices will continue to be heard in the Bunjil space in the years to come. The melody of'Bunjil's Song', which they collaboratively wrote and created the music for, will fill the space and be a gift to the new citizens of Bunjil who will be welcomed to 'The Nest' in 2022. Bunjil's Song My heart fills up with joy, When I see an eagle in the sky, I want to spread my wings and fly, With Bunjil soaring high Like an eagle in the sky, I wish I could soar, To the sun and stars with you. And see things from the highest point of view, With Bunjil soaring high Like an eagle in the sky, Wonder fills my mind, When I see an eagle in the sky, I want to explore beyond the wall, With Bunjil soaring high Like an Eagle in the sky, I want to be brave, Welcoming the challenges ahead. And share my thoughts and new ideas, with Bunjil soaring high Like an Eagle in the sky,

We started the year by welcoming the children to our beautiful Mon.garrk space and explored the notion of being an active citizen within our learning environment. The children were able to draw on their knowledge of the rights of the child and used their five senses to develop a set of values and expectations for the citizens in our shared space. As a collective the children all agreed on what our Mon.garrk space would look like, sound like and feel like ... The children built on their understanding of citizenship by exploring the provocation 'Active Citizenship ... Beyond the Wall'. This led the children to start thinking about what it means to be an active citizen beyond the walls of Campbell House. "We have a duty to protect our planet" -Sebastien "Citizens means people ... If we take care of the country, we will be good citizens on our Earth'. -Rohan "I think we can change the world to make it a better place" - Elsie

Through meaningful meetings and discussions, the children shared their interest and passion for taking care of our natural environment. They used their languages of drawing, painting, conversation, written words, photography, and digital technologies to develop theories on what they thought happens to rubbish when it isn't disposed of thoughtfully. Our young researchers also questioned and considered other factors that could harm our oceans, putting our precious marine life at risk. Why is the ocean important and what does it mean to us? "We only have one ocean and one chance to take care ofit. It is our time to save the oceans and the animals" -Aston "Oceans are important because there are lots ofsea creatures living in it. We are still using too many plastic bags and packaging which end up in our oceans" - Emily

In Term 2, the children enjoyed the opportunity to beachcomb along the Queenscliff foreshore and came face-to-face with amazing sea animals at The Marine and Freshwater Discovery Centre. This visit introduced the children to species found in our local area and discussed some of the human impacts threatening their survival. They explored these issues with an inquiring mind and departed the centre empowered to make a difference by learning how small actions can make a big change.

The children's vision of the world beyond our walls now included imagery of a world where our oceans were healthy, properly protected, and full of diverse life.

We have to do something... I think we can start by definitely reducing our plastic waste." -Angus "Maybe if we share their beauty and interesting facts, it will make other people want to protect the creatures too... like the Steller Sea Lion" -Sophie

We wanted to build a community of young leaders to influence positive change for the future health of our world's oceans. To do this, the children needed to think of ways to share their message beyond our walls, "I think we should recycle rubbish to use it for other things like art, instead of throwing things in the bin or ocean." - Logan

Other ideas included making upcycled shopping bags with their message printed on them (and matching smaller bags that could be used for lunch orders), creating short videos such as advertisements and documentaries, performing plays and songs in the community, setting up a blog, website or You Tube channel, designing information posters to place around our city or on the back of our school buses, asking our mums to help us sew t-shirts and even selling our own homemade lemonade to raise funds to support marine conservation, ''All of the oceans connect and ifpeople throw rubbish in the ocean, the rubbish could float all around the world. Some rubbish never dissolves. It stays there forever and ever." - Alasdair

In Numeracy, the children have been supported to develop their mathematical thinking skills to understand relevant concepts and strengthen their ability to transfer these into practical situations at home, school and in daily life. The children are becoming confident users of the language of mathematics and look upon mathematics as a way of thinking, analysing, and solving problems. Despite another challenging year in and out of Remote Learning, the Year 1 children continued to flourish, grow and progress along their learning journey. We are grateful for many special moments and learning experiences, both on campus and remotely, Charmaine Saraci and Allison Carr

... But the marine life may not be there for ever and ever, which is why this is so important. The children's sense of empathy and compassion was also explored through our Triple R approach where the children have been developing their emotional literacy skills, positive coping strategies and developing their knowledge of character strengths within themselves and others. The Year 1 children have developed an understanding of the role that empathy and kindness plays in forming and maintaining positive relationships, They have explored different emotions and the concept of walking in someone else's shoes. In Literacy, we nurtured an appreciation of the richness of language, including our love of literature, The children have been given the opportunity to delve deeply into the books and lives of authors such as Julia Donaldson and Oliver Jeffers, These much-loved picture story books have highlighted the power of words, explicitly building on the children's vocabulary,

To launch our project work for 2021, the children were asked to share their collective thoughts regarding 'What is a citizen and what makes them so, and where do we see citizens in our community?', The children's thoughts of citizens initially highlighted the work of prominent services in the community. We delved deeper into these concepts to consider if we ourselves were citizens of a place. The children shared their prior project connections and their identities as past citizens connected to the places of Campbell House, within Barrabin (EL4A) or Kuwiyn (EL4B), as well as the identities ofnewly welcomed members within our learning community. Our thoughts then turned to the collective identities evolving as members of Garra (meaning 'Golden Wattle' in Wathawurrung language), contemplating how we are now connected as citizens to each other and to our new learning spaces. The children acknowledged the greatness of our spaces and the significance of their roles as members of our learning community. Explorations and growing understandings of our Campbell House spaces led us to explore our provocation further, as the children were encouraged to wonder what is outside our spaces 'beyond the wall'? Many of the children thoughtfully observed the familiar spaces of Campbell House from their newly explored perspectives, while others projected their thinking further, beyond, and outwards from our immediate surroundings. Highlighting the vastness of our place beyond the walls sparked curiosity within the children as they engaged alongside peers to explore their current understandings, create deeper connections, and build upon these with the shared knowledge of others. Relationships to places, experiences and identities were shared which highlighted strong connections to water and local natural environments, prompting us to consider the planning of a trip 'beyond the wall' to the neighbouring town of Anglesea.

During these experiences 'beyond the wall', the children embraced the natural and created landscapes and wildlife of prominence, sparking enthusiasms which will later present within several lines of inquiry. With an invitation to visit the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie, we connected with our wider Gee long College community by watching a captivating roving performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, led by our Year 6 students, Further opportunities presented to witness

the factory chocolatiers in action as they created chocolate treats (which we later enthusiastically enjoyed). This prompted wonderings of where the ingredients for chocolate come from and on returning to school, we explored the origin of the cocoa bean and dairy milk, which led to further investigations of the processes of food, such as where it starts and the journey it goes on from paddock to plate. Exploring the origins of food led us to researching the environments necessary to grow each ingredient in its plant form. We explored how various parts of the world experience different temperatures and have their own native plants, and how this influenced the foods accessible to us in our markets, supermarkets, community gardens, and for many, our own backyards. Our research led us to discover the key word 'habitat', reflecting on the native wildlife of our own place, as well as commence investigations into the diverse varieties of environments from around the world characterized by the unique animals and plant life that are adapted to live there. Leading their own investigations further, within a period of Remote Learning the children became researchers together with their families to create dioramas which encompassed the flora and fauna native to specific zones. Our identities as citizens of Garra also took shape as we counted each day of learning and reflected on this collective success. One significant highlight of our year was our 100 days of learning celebration early in Term 3. The build-up to this moment had begun back at the beginning of 2021. As the new citizens of Foundation joined together on their first day of school, an important count was started, the 'How many days have we been at school?' count. Each day the children collaborated to consider the question, 'what number are we up to today?', and we would talk about the number and discuss what connections or understandings the children had about the daily number. When we made it to 10 days of school, we began representing these in tens frames so that the children could count on from ten into the teen numbers and so on. Maximising the interest in our daily count was the prospect of having a special celebration when we reached our 100th day of learning. The children enthusiastically and earnestly counted each day of their shared learning, both onsite and beyond the walls during Remote Learning, in

anticipation of reaching this very special milestone. Sharing in the number of days of learning together allowed the children to strengthen their sequential counting, practise counting forwards and backwards from different starting points, create accurate collections, recognize elements of place value and investigate number facts with a motivated and strong interest. As we entered the 90s in our count, the excitement started to build as the children began to plan the way our celebration day would unfold. Our anticipated 100th day did not disappoint as all the children's ideas and plans for this big event came to fruitioncomplete with a shiny disco ball! The 2021 citizens of Garra have had a very interesting start to their schooling journey as they bounced in and out of Remote Learning, but the resilience, courage and zest displayed by these students while they negotiated so much change is commendable. As a team we positively navigated how to be active and responsible citizens online, utilising technology to explore in depth the wonderous habitats and incredible food that is grown beyond our Campbell House walls. We stayed connected through Teams when we were unable to meet in our Garra learning spaces and remained focussed with showing up each day as our best selves, with our strongest hearts caring.

During the second year in our new school, we were grateful that Early Learning children were able to attend on-site for most of the year. The sense of community and connection is an important aspect of children's preschool education years, and our focus on play-based learning allowed us to meet children's and families' needs during a year of changing restrictions. Never has the importance of play in children's lives been more evident than in these times. Our Early Learning philosophy statement emphasises the importance of play as the optimal mode of learning for young children and emphasises outdoor learning and children's right to a connection with the natural environment. These pillars have enabled us to foster children's emotional, physical, and intellectual wellbeing in the most challenging of times. Even during our period of Remote Learning teachers planned experiences to link children to their neighbourhood and local outdoor environment. I was personally very grateful for the teachers' ability to creatively reimagine their programs at short notice. As parents said

We eagerly await the introduction of funded 3-year-old Kindergarten throughout Victoria in 2022. Whilst The Geelong College has offered 3-year-old programs for many years, its widespread introduction reinforces the importance of the early years. Research in the areas of neuroscience and social science show that experiences in the early years are critical for children's future life opportunities and that quality early childhood education improves outcomes before, during and after school years. The EPPSE study (2014) from the United Kingdom showed that students who attended two to three years of kindergarten had better development in language, prereading, early number concepts, independence, concentration, and social skills when they started school. International research overwhelmingly finds that attendance for more than one year at a high-quality kindergarten has greater potential to lift a child's outcomes across all learning domains, while improving social behaviours and self-regulation.

(Victorian Department ofEducation, 2021)

I wanted to say again how much we appreciate the care and love that you put into Remote Learning; it really is something we all look forward to as a family and we love sharing with our family. I couldn't praise the tasks more!! They have been perfect! Love that the tasks all link to a story, and all have been achievable in the time frame and that can be done easily at home.

Educators continued their own professional learning with focus on the introduction of a Phonological Awareness program in Early Learning and the expansion of our Storypark online platform to share the complete cycle of planning and documentation of learning.

'Scarecrows, watch them grow' was a project based on children's imagination, wonder, creativity, and our environment. One small wondering can grow into a project of interest, design, planning, and family connections beyond the wall. In EL 3A, an environmental group discussion led to a simple song of Dingle Dangle Scarecrow which ignited a passionate interest in scarecrows within the children. A bird came and tried to eat our plants, so we wanted to build a scarecrow. We need to make our own scarecrows to scare away the birds and the rabbits, like real ones. It's a Super Scarecrow. It's made out ofhay. I think it needs a farm hat. I'm going to make mine out ofplastic and rubbish.

We began imagining the funny characters our scarecrows might be. Stories and conversations about scarecrows prompted further conversations and planning until each child represented their ideas through the language of drawing. As teachers, we listened to children's ideas and used intentional teaching strategies to build on their existing knowledge of this topic. Their investigations covered the domains of science, maths, literacy and numeracy and as with most deep learning, the children's interest was sustained over a long period of time. The sense of community was important to children, so woven through the project was a trip to the post box with our group letter to each family inviting them in to assist with the making of their child's scarecrow. We drew, painted, and labelled our plans to collect materials to begin the creation of 25 life size scarecrows with the help of our families. Collaboration began and the space soon filled up with a range of scarecrow characters, each with their own personality and narrative. Children relished the opportunity to proudly share their scarecrows with peers, reflecting on the work undertaken. A diverse field of creative Scarecrows appeared on the wall in EL 3A as children created a mural to accompany the stories of their scarecrows. A parade was planned to display the hard work and uniqueness of each scarecrow, before the scarecrows return home to their own gardens by following the children's map of 'beyond the wall'.

By exploring our understanding of our learning space "Buniya", the Wadawarrung name for Eel, the Early Learning 3B children became interested in the meaning and possibilities of sighting any Buniyas, Could the children find the elusive Eel? Adventures within our new school community began and visits to the Enviro centre where we could see Yaluk, the Barwon River, the home of Buniya the Eel. From this vantage point our eyes were drawn beyond to the community that surrounded the hills. Homes, houses, a neighbourhood, The children visited Yaluk below, where we met our friend Corrina Eccles, and she shared stories and wisdoms of our river, our place, our community and neighbourhood, The pandemic made it difficult to connect with those "beyond the walls" of our school, so to broaden our understanding of community, our project of creating "our neighbourhood" emerged. We combined our ideas to design houses to inhabit within our learning space and have fun within the walls of school. The suggestion to build our own neighbourhood diorama arose, mapping out where we live in relation to the Barwon River and beyond. Homes stretching from near to far, As we looked beyond our immediate walls the children recreated their ideas in different ways. Children were able to represent ideas using the 100 languages offered and promoted at Early Learning. Through the exploration of Neighbourhoods, connections began to evolve, storylines were created, and the children's sense of identity and belonging to place were established, The foundations of connecting and belonging to this community was born, Children recognised the importance of belonging to many different neighbourhoods and that they share these spaces with many people throughout the community, As children created their own neighbourhoods through play and shared their creations with peers, educators offered opportunities to promote each individual. What space made them feel the safest in their neighbourhood? Unsurprisingly...their bedroom! A new project emerged "Behind the door", What creates safety for them within this intimate space? What is most important? Children and families shared images of their bedroom and an item that has significant meaning. Allowing children to explore their identity allows us to learn more about them as individuals and build on their interests, building a deepened sense of belonging within our community at The Geelong College.

Mystery and Wonder In a time of such uncertainty, we have felt fortunate to be able to provide our Early Learners with a safe place to play, grow, learn, and develop. 2021 has been a time for us to come together, learn from one another and support each other. Mystery and wonder were themes which resonated with the children this year. Teachers used this as a catalyst to create opportunities to extend children's imaginations, suspend their disbelief and encourage them to stop and look at things more closely, Children were fascinated with Mrs Mystery, (a long-time friend of Early Learning who likes to play tricks}, The Potato People (handmade with love by each child}, and the Pumpkin Pot (an old soup bowl purchased from the op shop}, Strange and amazing things kept happening at Early Learning. Our Potato people went missing, so we went on lots of adventures to try and find the answers to the mysteries that were presented to us. Children were kept 'wondering' which fuelled their desire to 'figure out' what was going on. We saw children become theorists, detectives and their inquisitiveness was heightened. Children's sense of agency and their ability to take action in matters that affect them was promoted. This 'Mysterious' project offered children the opportunity to continue to learn about nature and the ongoing responsibility we have to protect our environment., .... , to reuse, recycle and regenerate where we can. Our Potato people were eventually returned to the earth, and we watched them grow in the hope of having a celebratory Fries-day at the end of the year, We marvelled at the way our children have grown and adapted. Their skills and understandings have certainly grown, but so too has their emotional wellbeing and independence. Children have been able to adapt to new routines, display flexibility in their thinking, while also demonstrating an enviable ability to get on with it and have some fun!

Vines, Friendship and Vine Buddies Friendship and kindness through the Vine Buddies project blossomed in Early Learning 4B. The year began with a strong interest in things that grow as we watched seeds grow into plants. The discovery of a vine in our room then sparked our ideas about the possibilities and power of connection as we focussed on developing a vine that could connect us all. How could we go beyond the walls of our school and grow a vine that could 'connect throughout everyone's homes'. On the discovery of the distance between our homes and the reality of living in a COVID safe world we realised that connecting the vine physically was not possible. Resolving the issues of location, children told us that ifwe 'open our hearts and use our

imaginations, we can make vines for everyone's houses and share our vine though our imaginations'. Encapsulating the concepts of sharing, distance, and community the Vine Buddies project grew. The vine buddy of the day was discovered in the buddy box at the start of the day. They had many important roles to fulfil, including being at the front of the group, deciding things for the day (such as lunch inside or out, and books to read), being given compliments and kind words from their peers, making their part of the vine, helping everyone choose their buddy for the day from the buddy bag and looking out for kindness. The vine buddy leader also wore the flower buddy necklace and reported back to the group, kindness they saw throughout the day.

Kindness that the children noticed: '/ did see kindness today I saw it and I felt it because someone helped me with the rolling painting' '/ noticed that children were playing together. and they had fun. That is kindness' 'Someone helped another child with their lunch box. That showed they were nice.'

Compliments that children gave to each other: '/ like how you try things, and you just keep trying.' '/ like how you helped me doing the 1GO-piece puzzle' When you play with me it makes me feel happy' '/ like being buddies with you. You are a good buddy'

At the end of the project, all children will have a copy of the vine, designed by the whole group, to take home and share. Friendship and kindness will be able to stay with us.

Connecting tlirougli Literature andStoryte{fing: Our %ar in ~view The time-honoured art of storytelling came to life in the library this year. As a medium for expressing thinking orally, developing visual imagination, and stretching and enriching personal vocabularies, storytelling was explored with enthusiasm. As children learnt more about the structure of a narrative, they practised retelling their favourite tales, with an emphasis on sequencing the main events. Puppet play allowed them to explore character voices, and practice in voice modulation highlighted how mood could be created when telling stories. Children delighted in listening to stories told and in sharing their own tales to an audience. Using literature to explore 'big' ideas helped launch the Junior School project 'Beyond the Wall' in Term 2.

{,O

108

Children considered why walls were built, first literally then figuratively. Stories shared enabled children to live vicariously through literary characters as they faced challenges of exclusion, fear and loneliness. They reflected on how differences could be celebrated and valued and what this might look like within and beyond our school walls. That we are all different, with unique talents and traits was the overwhelming outcome of these wonderful and diverse stories and conversations. The CBCA Book of the Year awards was the focus for Term 3. Children from Early Learning to Year 3 were involved in Shadow Judging these awards. They were asked to co-create a judging criterion, like that of the Australian book judges, as a lens through which to critique each of the shortlisted books. Elements of setting, characterisation, mood, illustrative style, and themes were considered as each book was read and evaluated. Children voted on their favourites, after debating the merits of their choices.

Junior School Art Seeing Our School Our Junior School project, Beyond the Wall, provided an excellent provocation for Junior School students to consider the new school buildings as a creative subject. During art lessons we explored how we see our school through drawing, leading into other mediums. Students began by studying features of architectural art and the techniques artists use in this domain. Next, we moved into pencil techniques, looking at scale and perspective, and drawing what the eye sees. Taking journals outside, children chose a spot to observe, and then draw the school, applying the techniques we had explored. As part of this project, we discussed what having a Growth Mindset in Art looks and feels like. Art is not always easy - it can sometimes feel frustrating and challenging! Persistence and stamina in art are important dispositions for children to develop in their creative selves. We used this as a tool that was revisited throughout this project to keep motivation high. Revisiting our pieces over several sessions was intertwined with other explorations of the building- in particular, the textures and colours seen in the bricks on the exterior. The patterning was noticed by all children and theories for the inspiration of these designs followed: They did it to make it look like the school colours Because it was on our shirts! Because they wanted to make it a zigzag... like our collar

Some groups of children investigated using patterned brickprint paper as a collage material. They used this patterned paper to recreate abstract representations of our building. Multiple exposures to the subject matter meant children could consider it on a deeper level as they interact with, and reconstruct their own versions of the school, based on the lens through which they see it. The project culminated in colour testing to match the exterior building finishes, and then careful watercolour painting to finish our artworks off. Not only had children demonstrated the art skills we had been studying, but they also shone with persistence and stamina throughout this multi-stage work. And the results are as stunning as the buildings themselves. Ms Christie Barrett

Senior School Music The College's Music program of2021 included all manner of musical ensembles, choirs, orchestras, and bands; though this year, needfully, our program looked a little different. Adhering to COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions led to reimagining some events. We are extremely thankful to our staff who have given of themselves unceasingly, with kindness, agility and patience, to make this a memorable year. Thankfully, we were able to run a range of very successful and enjoyable events, particularly during Semester 1.

The Rock Workshop The Rock Workshop was the first of our events this year and was designed to showcase the newly-formed and auditioned Super Groups, along with providing a crucial first performance for our VCE VET students, who are required to perform for an audience as part of their studies. The event was held at the magnificent Mt Du need Estate and the students involved presented a fabulous array of original and cover songs to the delight of the audience. What a thrill it was to hold this event!

The Steinway Launch

126

The College witnessed a historical moment with the official launch of the new Steinway Model D Concert Piano in the Keith Humble Centre. The evening highlighted several of our music students from all three campuses, and they played beautifully. Earlier in the day even more students benefitted from masterclasses with internationally-renowned pianist, Timothy Young. Timothy shared encouragement and advice with our students and his manner was supportive yet aspirational. Timothy and our College students returned to the Steinway to provide two concerts of outstanding piano music. The first shared with the wider community and the second for our 88 Key Club Members who played such an important role in donating the funds to acquire our flag-ship instrument. We would like to thank them sincerely for the legacy they have provided to many generations of musicians to come, and for their significant support of music education at our College. Two encores later, the evening concluded with the unveiling of the Honour Board and a chance to meet and talk music with Timothy. Thank you to all involved in the realisation of this vision. We make special mention

of one of our staff, Mr Selmo Carreira, for his passion and expertise. We look forward to providing many more opportunities in the future for our College and the wider Gee long community to experience the beauty of our Steinway, "Henry" as he is now affectionately known, and share the love of piano music on what is the best instrument in the Geelong region.

Easter Service This year's service was an outdoor event and was amazing. The Senior School Year 12 Vocal Group performed "This Little Light of Mine", as they were joined by various smaller vocal ensembles on stage. The service also witnessed the return of the bagpipes to the College's musical arsenal, with Pippa Murphy and Hannah Phung providing the most beautiful Scottish Medley as a processional for the commencement of the morning's festivities.

A Night At The Proms This year's event celebrating the music from Term 1 maintained the College's proud tradition of a Symphony Orchestra and String Orchestra, in a highly enjoyable and successful concert. The two ensembles performed a wide-ranging repertoire, including the Symphony Orchestra's notable realisation of the "Procession of the Sardar" by lppolitov-lvanov, and the String's beautiful rendition of"Alla Rustica" by Vivaldi. We also had the opportunity to highlight solo instrumentalists Elizabeth Kefaloukos, Josh Wilkinson, Stella Rixon, Zali Cross, and Hannah and Georgia Phung. They all performed at a very high level and wowed the audience with their considerable musical talents.

Senior School House Music Competition One of the most enthusiastic contests for many years, the House Music competition saw a variety of musical performances by our students. Held on Friday 14th May in Morrison Hall, it was an absolute thrill to hold this event. The Houses worked very hard over a four-week period to hone their singing skills and to prepare for the performance of a lifetime! The afternoon was pure entertainment at quite a remarkably high level. Our expert judge, Ms Kate Daley, was blown away by the quality and professionalism of the performances by our students, and for the first time, eight senior school students also joined our judging panel. McArthur House won both the

Massed Choir and the Small Ensemble sections, and then took out the overall winner, being awarded the George Logie-Smith Memorial Shield. Congratulations to McArthur House!

VET Music Gig The Costa Theatre was the venue for the VCE VET Music groups second performance of the year. They exceeded expectations once again with an amazing performance of their original songs. Congratulations to the VET students of 2021, and to Mr James Hunt, their teacher and mentor. It was a fantastic and highly entertaining musical concert.

Lunchtime Concerts In response to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the Senior School introduced a Lunchtime Concert series in Term 3 for students to enjoy the wonder and joy of music during the school day. These tickets sold out very quickly as the room had limited capacity; however, those in attendance were completely amazed at the level of musicianship and talent on display. Congratulations to all students who presented in these concerts and to Mr Hunt for his vision in organising these opportunities. Our classroom Music program has continued to provide excellence in music education to our Senior students. From Year 9 to VCE and VET Music, our students delved into the history, theory and performance of music with the support of their teachers and peers. This program celebrates each individual, provides our students with the permission to perform, and most importantly, invites our young musicians into the Keith Humble Centre to share to joy of music and benefits of music education every day of the school year. We are indebted to the music staff and their ongoing excellence and outstanding efforts to provide a music education program of such high standard and enjoyment for our students. We sincerely thank and acknowledge the work of our Director of Music, Dr Philip Bohun. Having given several years of dedicated service and passion to our students and program, he stepped aside from the role of Director in the middle of year to concentrate on his love of the classroom and ensemble work. The College has benefited from his exuberance and significant depth of experience in the music industry. Thank you, Dr Bohun. The Music Department recognises the significant support of our parent support group, the Humble Club, chaired by Mr Tim Williams. We are so grateful for their assistance and dedication in providing opportunities for our young musicians and in raising the profile of music at our College. We also acknowledge the parents and families that support our program and organise for their child to be at our rehearsals and concerts over the entire year. We in the Music Department are so blessed that you recognise and value the experience music provides. Finally, to the students, we would like to thank our Senior students, especially the departing Year 12 cohort, ably represented by Music Co-Captains Nicholas O'Brien and Elizabeth Kefaloukos, for their contributions to the musical life of our College this year. We wish you all the very best for the future and trust that you will continue to explore and embrace your considerable musical talents in your post-College lives. Emily FitzSimons, Acting Director of Music

From the Music Captains As my time at the College comes to a close, to say I've been doing a bit of reminiscing would be an understatement. Although 2021 was not the year we had been hoping would close our musical journeys, I think I can say on behalf of all Year 12 music students that the handful of opportunities we had to perform to a live audience this year was greatly valued. Growing up through College has given me the chance to witness the progression of the school over time, perhaps most evident within the walls of our Music department. From my early days in the Junior and Middle School symphony orchestras, playing Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, I now am proud of performing my own original concept record, inspired by and named after that very piece. As my time draws to its conclusion, I'm starting to truly realise how my musical journey has been nurtured by this school and the handful of incredible individuals who have helped me feel comfortable to experiment and express my passion. One ofmy primary drives as Music Co-captain was to showcase the immense talent of the contemporary side of my musical cohort. It was the guidance of teachers such as Dr Bohun, Dave Van Elst, Selmo Carreira and Brad Dawson who made me feel more than welcome. In the final weeks of last term our VET class was visited by the Year 8 "Almost Famous" elective students. Words can't describe how excited I am for the years to come, after meeting these students; I truly felt like I was the lamest kid in the room because these Year 8s had so much character and passion for their music. So, while my time here may be over, getting a taste of the plethora of young contemporary talent to come through made me realise that the best is truly yet to come. Nick O'Brien

Within music, there is constant oscillation: a complex fluctuation between character and mood. In every piece there are rests or silences. In many instances, they often go unnoticed, but in others, they are the most prominent feature. Sometimes, silence comes without warning. It is the silence in music which throws the sound and all its colour and texture, into relief and allows the audience to experience the beauty of the music, even more keenly. For Music at our school in 2021, we too, have experienced this oscillation. We have had moments when everyone exuberantly performed together - such as at the Senior School Proms, Middle School Jamboree or the Junior School Instrumental Concert. Yet we have had other times when our melodies fell silent... when playing together or even seeing the teachers from whom we learn our craft, was not possible. It is my hope, that instead of dwelling on the musical occasions that may have been forgone this year, that we instead remember, as Shakespeare reminds us, that" ... silence is the perfectest herald ofjoy" and that there was much joy this year and that there will be more to come. I would like to express my gratitude, to our wonderful teachers and mentors within the Music program. They guided us through an unprecedented year with determination, passion and dedication. It was both a privilege and honor to serve as Music Co-captain in 2021. May music be with you always. Elizabeth Kefaloukos

VET Music VET Music is one of our Senior School programs for students in Years 11 and 12, entailing the composing of songs, where the students create interesting arrangements and prepare a setlist to perform at venues around Geelong. The students get a good taste of what it's like to be a working musician in the industry. The College's VET Music program was in full flight for 2021. With the easing of restrictions early in the year all Year 11 and Year 12 students performed at Mt Duneed Estate in March. Family and friends were impressed with amazing performances from the groups. They had worked for only five weeks in composing and practising performing all-original songs. Each group consisted of between 3 and 6 members, including soloist performances, with each act playing a 15-minute set. The College's Supergroups were also involved in this evening, providing cover songs, which complemented the evening. The Year 12 students, consisting of two groups and a soloist, followed up this performance with a gig in Costa Theatre in May. The crowd were given an intimate performance of the setlist the acts would later perform at their External VET Exam in October. In Term 3 the Year 11 students, also consisting of two groups and a soloist, had a break from their song composing to prepare a 15-minute set of songs for their Tribute Concert. This gave the students the chance to emulate the playing of musicians and bands of their liking. In the final weeks of the year, the Year 12 groups entertained their fellow students in Helicon Place during a week-long series of Lunchtime Concerts; it was a fitting way for the Year 12 cohort, the only students present on campus at the time, to enjoy and celebrate with their talented VET musicians.

Middle School Music

Junior School Music

The Middle School Music Program has provided students with many opportunities to learn new skills in the areas of performance, theory, and aural work over 2021. A blend of face-to-face and online interactions saw students learn the new instruments, improve their singing, work on creative tasks and collaborate in groups. The Middle School Jamboree was a highlight of the year with classroom choirs performing, as well as the guitar ensemble and orchestras. The Middle School Rock Band evening at The Keith Humble Centre inspired all who performed and attended. A Classroom Concert occurred each term in Years 4, 5 and 6, giving all students the opportunity to perform a piece of music they were working on. This was always a highlight and a wonderful way to celebrate all the musical talents within the Middle School.

During 2021, Junior School Music classes thrived as students shared their joy and enthusiasm for learning music together. Throughout the school year, the learning of music was reimagined to allow for Remote Learning. Students have embraced the opportunity to perform, compose, and explore music in their everyday journey, both at school and from home.

In Year 4, students spent time working on the body percussion for The Cup Song, understanding the notes of the treble clef, and diving into writing original songs with a focus on their year in Enviro. This is always a highlight for the students, and we feel fortunate to have had a recording opportunity this year to capture their hard work. In Years 5 and 6, students became more tech-savvy by learning how to use their music One-Note pages, composing software MuseScore and the recording software Mixcraft to enhance their learning. Writing their own movie theme song towards the end of the year was a highlight and a task many enjoyed. The Year 6 students' singing was also an area we focussed on when face-to-face, getting students organised and inspired for their graduation performance. Years 7 and 8 continued working through the IDP (Instrumental Discovery Program) providing students with the opportunity to learn a new instrument or to excel at one in which they have had experience. With a blend of practical, theoretical, and aural work, students learned a range of songs as smaller ensembles. The Year 8 electives program provided students with many incredible opportunities throughout the year. Our production of'Peter Pan' was performed to a high standard in the beginning of Term 3 displaying the talents of many students including singing, dancing, acting, and arts and crafts through the design of props and costumes. The opportunity to perform in front of a large audience offamily and friends was a unique and special moment for all involved. Finally, the elective 'Almost Famous' allowed students to work in small groups composing and recording music. The Middle School students should be proud of their achievements throughout 2021. Imogen Brough, Middle School Music Coordinator

Earlier in the year, students worked towards several performances. In Term 1, our piano students from Campbell House benefited from a masterclass with internationally renowned pianist Timothy Young, who encouraged and shared advice with them in a supportive and aspirational manner. Many students also participated in one or more ensembles, including the Junior School Choir, Balyang Strings, Rock Band and Percussion. A highlight for the year was our Rock Band Concert hosted in the Keith Humble Centre, where students were able to perform (some for the very first time) for the wider school community. Junior School Assemblies have been held every fortnight, where students have performed with their peers as a class or ensemble. From Early Learning to Year 1, the journey of music at Campbell House began with playing and exploring new sounds, focusing on beat and motion. Students have participated in singing traditional folk songs and circle games, vocal exploration, rhythm and motion, clapping and percussion. In Year 2, an inquiry of Other Worlds inspired students to arrange a soundscape using digital sounds to accompany elements of the Narnia story. Students explored a countermelody, dynamics and vocal sounds to create accompaniments for their project. In Year 3, the 3 Strings Program has also transitioned strongly from Year 2 last year, with rehearsals and a Virtual Online Concert at the end of Term 2. The Year 3 Instrumental Concert which featured earlier in Term 1, allowed students to perform their solo pieces, accompanied by several music teachers. The Year 3s also participated in a popular Rock Band Unit, in which they were able to explore new instruments and learn how to play and work together in a contemporary group. Instrumental Music Lessons have been consistent throughout 2021 with instrumental teachers moving into a flexible mode as students learn their instruments with online lessons. The instruments currently taught at Junior School are piano, drums, violin, cello, voice, guitar, clarinet, and viola, with a total of 112 lessons attended within each week. The enthusiasm from all students has resonated within our community throughout the year. Thank you to all the families and teachers for their flexibility and commitment to the students in their early years of school as they develop their musicianship. The joy for learning music has continued to shine and grow at Junior School. Timothy Chan

Cricket A delayed start to the 2020-21 cricket season due to COVID-19 saw no official APS matches played in Term 4. This gave additional opportunities for players to push their case for a First XI cap as the squad played numerous practice games over the Term 4 and summer holiday periods. To ensure all matches were played the APS reformed the 2021 First XI fixtures to include three T20s, three one-dayers and five two-day matches. This summer the results did not go our way, as eleven boys played First XI cricket for the first time. Despite the boys' inexperience, they should be commended on the way they fought in every match no matter the situation. Highlights from the season included Cooper Hayes' phenomenal 107 against St Kevin's to cap off what was an incredible first summer of First XI Cricket for Cooper which also included two half centuries. Other spectacular performances included Year 9 Ted Bain's hauls of four and five wickets as he announced himself as an exciting future prospect for College. Finally, Noah Guida with the bat and Archie Bain with the ball both had consistent summers worth noting as they developed their leadership qualities for next season. A huge thank you to the entire coaching group led by Scott Lindsay and Greg Hansen. Their unparalleled knowledge is greatly valued along with their mentors hip as they always aim to improve us as cricketers and young men both on and off the field. The 2nd XI experienced a very enjoyable and competitive season as the boys worked hard all year. Whilst the results were not always positive, the boys led by Steve Anastassiou and Baxter Bingham, always fronted training with smiles on their faces and an intent to improve on their cricketing abilities. A consistent season with the bat from Lachlan Wardle and Archie Lazzaro saw them both promoted to the 1st XI during several fixtures.

The 3rd XI arguably had the most fun of any College side this season led by Xavier Muhor. Highlights and stories spread quickly around the College on a Saturday afternoon as everyone was eager to hear about what took place at Middle School that morning. Season highlights included Sam Adams' SO not out and Charlie Probert's hat-trick which sent the boys into a frenzy. Despite the Year 10s losing their better players to the 1st XI during the year, they were very competitive every week against quality opposition as demonstrated by an excellent win against Xavier College. Their ability to maintain this high level of performance each week is promising for the College. Notable individual highlights included Will Stoney, Donovan Shier and Xavier Whitcher, who all passed SO, and Charlie Cox who bowled well every week. The Year 9s were introduced to full day cricket as they started their transition from the Middle School campus. The boys were able to record some valuable wins with skipper Sam Sinnott and Charlie Larsen making important contributions. Congratulations to Tom O'Brien who was awarded the overall Lindsay Hassett Medal for his consistent effort to improve as a player but also the teamwork and attitude he displayed throughout the season. Congratulations to the players who were awarded Year Level Lindsay Hassett Awards. Continue to demonstrate leadership, teamwork and fair play in the coming seasons as we have some exciting talent within our junior year levels. Stirling Shier, Captain

Softball Starting the 2020-2021 softball season, with a 24 to 1 win against Carey Grammar, the girls trained hard and played hard. The Open Band the Junior B/C girls both displayed outstanding efforts out on the field during trainings and Saturday games, with constant encouragement and feedback from our lovely coaches, Lynne Willmott, Kristen Pelletier, and Shannon Dunn, to whom we are all very grateful. Ceaselessly working hard to strengthen our teams, the coaches ensured that our performance each season surpassed that of the previous one. Despite our season being interrupted by the pandemic, after the 5-day lockdown the girls came back strong with both teams winning. The girls showed great sportsmanship, changing our playing strategies, allowing for the other teams to enjoy their season, with a level playing field. The girls were always willing to lend a hand to the opposition when needed, supporting both teams with great enthusiasm. All the girls improved with training being a productive and fun time for all involved, consistently exceeding expectations, never failing to impress time and time again.

The softball 2020-2021 season came to a memorable end, with the Inter girls wrapping up their season even with their opposition and with the Senior girls winning their final game of the season, 21-6. The season was clearly successful in terms of performance in games and team spirit. The positivity each player brought to each game was unmatched, and the magnificent skillsets they each had to offer never diminished. The girls' optimism proved unwavering even when faced with the most challenging opponents, and with the help of their coaches, both teams held united fronts throughout the entire season. Personally, we'd like to thank all the girls for joining us on our 5-year softball journey. It has been an enjoyable and memorable time that we will cherish forever. We would also like to extend our thanks to the coaches, who have been so tirelessly dedicated to TGC softball these past few years, making our final season the most incredible. Take care of swag bat for us. Amy Rahmanian & Emma Bates, Co-Captains

The season was highly rewarding for both teams. The Girls Open B team, coached by Lynne Willmott, earning the 'undefeated' title, and the Junior B/C team, coached by Kristen Pelletier, persistently brought a challenge to their opponents, with a vast majority of their games being a win or a very close score.

Rowing The Geelong College Boat Club had a combined 159 students compete for the College across the Term 1 regatta season. The Boat Club had students as young as Year 7 all the way up to Year 12 compete across all divisions. The strong numbers helped the College achieve varying results across different divisions. As Captains of Boats of the season 2020-2021, we had the privilege of watching every crew progress across the season, improving their technical and physical abilities. Our rowers pushed their mental and physical boundaries across training and regatta days, and we would like to congratulate every rower and coxswain for making the large commitment that rowing entails, The senior girls enjoyed the season as a tight knit squad of 35 students, consisting of three eights and one four, Each girl had high spirits and great resilience was demonstrated over the trying weeks of the season. The Girls 1st VIII withstood trying conditions and their head work and determination was a credit to every one of them. A highlight was coming third at Head of the River. The Girls 2nd VIII displayed significant improvement in each regatta resulting in their best race at the Head of the River, coming third in the A final. The Girls 3rd VIII had a solid season shuffling between the eight and fours to give them great experience, coming away with a second to Geelong Grammar at the Head of the River. The Four raced well, having only been in the combination once, coming third in a tough competition, The Year 9 and 10 Girls attacked their season with enthusiasm, with the goal of doing their best each race, Each crew should be very proud of their efforts as there were many successful races from each regatta rowed on the Barwon. A special mention to the Year 10 Girls' Divisions 1 and 5 for being the only crews from the College to make it to the A final, and the Division 5 girls for receiving a bronze medal. The Boys Senior rowing squad consisted of three eights. The Boys 1st VIII had a challenging yet rewarding year. There was consistent improvement in the skills of rowing as well as fitness,

The crew ended the season with 2nd in the B final at the Head of The River; however, this result did not define how successful the season was. The Boys 2nd VIII was a formidable eight, the crew's camaraderie and relentless efforts proved to be the reason for their success. The crew showed consistent improvement throughout the whole year and persistently pushed the 1st VIII. They had many successful regatta days but most notably their key highlight was 3rd place at the Head of The River. A tremendous effort by the Boys 2nd VIII. The Boys 3rd VIII had a high level of participation, allowing for a variety of crew combinations each week. They showed regular improvement throughout the year thanks to their hard work and dedication, They finished the season with a 1st in the B final at the Head of the River. The Year 10 Boys highlighted the amount of talent coming through the Boys Rowing program. Both the Year 10 As and Bs worked tirelessly to get better with each session. The Year 10 Boys have made it clear that the 2021 senior squad has a bright future, The Year 9 Boys had an impressive first season of rowing. It is certainly difficult to pick up an oar for the first time however this group did it with ease and made continual improvements all season. We want to thank our coaches for their boundless efforts over the 2021 season. The rowing staff have been amazing this year and on behalf of all rowers and coxswains we would like to thank the hard working and supportive rowing staff; Lucy Pring, Erica Gibbs, Amanda Jackman and Jane Sampson. Also, a big thanks to our Director of Rowing, Aron Tremul on his amazing first year in the role, We would also like to extend our thanks to the College Boatman Neil Fletcher: thank you for your countless efforts and experience over many years, Finally, we thank the Rowing Parents Support Group. The continued support you show our coaches and crews is amazing, and we are all so grateful. Lou Campbell & Liam Wylie, Captains

Boys Tennis The 1st Boys' tennis season was a very exciting and enjoyable one. Although we had many close losses, there were a lot of promising signs that the future is bright. The highlight of our season was our glorious win over Melbourne Grammar, coming from 6 sets to 2 down after doubles, to win the day 9 sets to 7, with a stellar performance from Ed Beehag, proving that he is going to be one of the top players in the competition next season. We also had close losses to Xavier, Brighton, Caufield, Wesley and Carey, with our biggest game of the season against Geelong Grammar being washed out. We would like to give special thanks to Matt Hicks who has coached us over the past five years and helped the team grow as both people and players. The boys are very lucky to have such an amazing coach who has a great breadth of knowledge, having coached the Victorian state team on various occasions as well as sitting 10th in the World for over 35s. The 2nd Boys' season was also a challenging one. Led by Coach Nathan Mayes and rising talents Rory Mason and Seb Snelling, the boys were able to conjure up their biggest win of the season with a 7-5 victory over a strong Caulfield side. The team was very consistent across the season and had many close and hard-fought matches. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6ths had strong seasons with many wins across the board. The 3rds had particular help from handy players Charles Murphy and Angus Illingworth. Lachie Paterson and Arvin Sadeghinad were the best players in the 4ths. Arnold Ng and Lachie Wilson were best contributors in the almighty Sths. In the 6ths, Maddix Godfrey and Reuben High were most consistent across the season. Thanks to coaches Alex Booker, Paddy Ryan, Mr Morgan and Mr Conway for all their help during the season.

The Year 10 level was our most successful. The l0As best win was a four-game victory over Scotch College, where Sam Fisher and Will Cullen provided consistent results at the top of the order. There was a strong contribution from all players in the l0Bs, helping them to win many matches. Additionally, the l0Cs trained hard all season, improving week by week. There was a lot of improvement amongst the Year 9s this season. Best players in the 9As were Archie Peat and Jack Stevens, proving that they could match with some of the APS best. Yunrong Fan and Marley Cornell were able to provide the 9Bs with some solid performances, most particularly leading the team to a comprehensive 7-1 victory over Wesley. Lachie Robson and Sam Mclean led the 9Cs to a tight four-game win over Xavier College. Overall, it has been a tremendous season for all those involved with the Boys tennis program. Everyone put in their best efforts at training and on match days which was highlighted as we matched it with many of the top APS schools each week. A huge thank you to all the coaches for their help and support throughout the season. A special thank you to Trudy Booker and the Tennis support group for their ongoing support. We would also like to thank Ms Browne for the tireless work she put in each week to ensure we were able to enjoy our tennis. We wish all the teams the very best for next year and beyond. Zac Norton & Max Booker, Co-Captains

Girls 1st Tennis Team 2nd Row: Abby Bowyer. Lucy Rahdon, Belle Goodall-Wilson, Clementine Jarman 1st Row: Milly Augustine, Emmy Bowyer. Hannah Stoney, Bayley Herbert, Matilda Porter Absent: Charlotte Bell, Mrs Julie Golightly (Coach)

Girls Tennis The 2020-21 lst Girls' tennis team had a rough but enjoyable season. There were many cold morning trainings to begin with, leading into hot and humid afternoon trainings in the peak of the season. Saturday matches were long and hard-fought, with many great performances along the way from the whole team. The 1st team consisted of players from Years 8-12, with the unique strengths and talents of each player combining to bring out the best in the team. The girls displayed amazing sportsmanship throughout the whole season as they competed against the other APS and AGSV schools. Our teams lasting impression on other schools was our ability to have fun and be kind, despite the scoring situation. Our new coach, Julie Golightly, encouraged us all to play to our maximum potential and inspired us to compete not only for ourselves, but our team also. However, her most important message was to always enjoy playing and come off the court with a smile on our faces. We thank Julie for everything she did for us during the tennis season, as we couldn't have done it without her exceptional guidance and knowledge. I would like to give a special thankyou to my vice-captains and fellow Year 12s, Matilda Porter, Belle Goodall-Wilson and Bailey Herbert, who were all very supportive and amazing role models for the younger girls. A huge congratulations to all the girls in the team who worked very hard throughout the whole season and made it a memorable one for the Year 12 girls. I feel very confident that the team is in safe hands for years to come. The 2nd girls had a successful season under the guidance of their coach Sue Anderson, who supported the team entirely, gathering an amazing 3 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, They all demonstrated great spirit in their matches, doing both themselves and Sue proud,

The Open C girls also had a successful season under the direction of Ms Munro, working hard to improve their skills and competing at their best every week. Only losing one match for the whole season, the girls had many competitive contests, only getting over the line by four games in a match against Carey where they won six sets 52 games to 6 sets 48 games. The Inter A girls had an incredibly successful season that was resultant of their willingness to improve and their drive to win. They managed to end the season undefeated, with help from their very knowledgeable coach, Ryan Meehan. He challenged the girls through well organised training sessions which caused a large improvement in their game over the season, The Inter B girls team had a very good season as well, also pulling through undefeated. The encouragement of their coach Claudia Cheatley improved their skills and increased their knowledge of game play. A massive thank you goes to Ms Browne for organising the teams and coaches, and for coordinating an extremely smooth season. She attended all the Saturday matches and trainings with a huge smile, encouraging all players with her bright and bubbly personality. 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 Trudy Booker, for organising the welcome events, the Family Tennis day and the end of season celebration, Well done to everyone, and I wish all tennis players the best of luck for seasons to come. Hannah Stoney, Captain

Boys Badminton I would like to acknowledge the great honour that it was to be badminton captain for the 2020-2021 season. I would also like to congratulate all the boys for the excellent effort and positive approach to their matches. Despite COVID restrictions carrying over from last year, the boys were still able to complete a sixgame season. The Year 9 team, coached by Josh Skuza and consisting mostly of beginners from Years 7-11, experienced a tough, winless season. Despite their shortcomings against the opposition, the boys never gave up and displayed great resilience. The efforts of James Wood, Ditch Burke and Kaleb Cooke should be congratulated as they performed consistently and skilfully. Overall, the Year 9 team did well, and I believe that their growing talent will soon be the leading force of College badminton. The 3rd team had a more successful season with two strong wins against Wesley College and Melbourne Grammar as well as four losses. Coached by Adam Bell, the boys all played exceptionally well; although almost everyone was new to the team, they adapted quickly and put in a phenomenal amount of work during the training sessions, with standout players Dominic Bongiorno, Conor Brown and Taj Daly. The 2nd team, our top College team, had another strong season: they only lost two games, one against an incredibly strong Haileybury team and the other, a narrow loss against Carey Grammar. With the new year, we also welcomed our new coach: former nationals player Luke Chong. Thanks to Luke's incredible coaching, everyone improved significantly. I would like to thank our coaches Luke, Adam and Josh, and a special thank you goes to our coordinator Mme Chabant for organising the season for us. And congratulations again to all the boys for their efforts this season and for attending the trainings and matches with enthusiasm and a desire to improve. Good luck next season! Will Yu, Captain

Girls B Badminton Christina Shi. Jazz Wood. Jade McQuillan. Georgina He. Mr Kenneth John (Coach)

Girls Badminton First of all, I would like to thank all our players for approaching training sessions positively and with a genuine desire to improve and to have fun; this was reflected in our successful season. Due to COVID restrictions, we only had 6 games in the 20202021 season. Our Open B team started the season strongly with two wins, 6-0 against Carey Grammar and Wesley College (St Kilda). However, we lost the following two games against the top teams, Yarra Valley Grammar and Caulfield Grammar. Luckily, thanks to the hard work of all our girls, we were able to perform our best at the end of the season, finishing our last two games 136 points ahead of Wesley College (Glen Waverly), and 7 4 points ahead of Haileybury College. Our Open C girls had three tough games at the beginning of the season, against Ivanhoe Grammar, Caulfield Grammar and Penleigh & Essendon Grammar. However, these struggles did not dampen our players' enthusiasm: we then had a draw when playing Geelong Grammar, a win against Yarra Valley Grammar (finally!), and we finished the season with a very close game against Haileybury.

All these results highlight the incredible improvements of the whole badminton squad over the season. This could not have been achieved without the outstanding determination of both our new and experienced players, as well as the hard work and passion of our coach Kenneth John, Shania and the SS and MS College staff members have put into our teams in the past few years. Because of them, we were able to transform our weaknesses into strengths during our trainings and games, and we eventually improved our badminton skills as individual players and team members. I cannot thank them enough for showing us that badminton is not just about hitting shuttles with a racquet; it is also about the crucial emphasis of footwork, strategies, and most importantly, our enthusiasm for the sport. Christina Shi, Captain

The junior teams improved tremendously throughout the year and showed us their great potential with their successes in the games. Both Junior A Blue and Green team commenced the season well with two close games against Caulfield Grammar and Wesley College. The Junior A Green team won their games against Geelong Grammar, Haileybury and Caulfield Grammar (Wheelers Hill) this season, but they had an unfortunate loss to Penleigh & Essendon Grammar by 36 points. The Junior A Blue team experienced some tough losses this season, but the girls' efforts and determination were not reflected by their final score, as they illustrated their amazing capacity for future improvements after the rough games against the top teams of the state.

Independent School Surfing Titles A select group of students headed down to Jan Jue beach to compete in the Independent School Surfing Titles. The swell was an inviting 3-foot; beautiful and groomed with a northwesterly offshore breeze. A right-hand bank greeted the surfers, with natural footers very excited. The mixed team, consisting of Andy Deans, Jazz Wylie, Minnie Vorrath, Joel Bartley, Spencer Kay {Captain), Jude Enticott, Harry Farrer and Charlie Farrer surfed their way into the semifinals. Some excellent surfing from Jude, Harry and Charlie placed us in a good position to progress through to the final, however; in the tightly contested competition it was not to be. Placing 3rd by a small margin. The girls' team, consisting of Jazz Wylie, Minnie Vorrath, Cielle Bouvier and Dahlia Feldman, were out into the line-up next. A strong showing of critical snaps and carves by the girls placed us 1st in our heat and straight into the final. In the final, the girls overcame illness within the team and a few falls to place 2nd overall. An amazing achievement and one they should be proud of.

Boys Swimming The 2020/21 swimming season began with early morning sessions where we were met by our upbeat coaches Dean Alchin, Emad Abouzid and Tristan Read. As the weeks progressed in Term 4 and swimming training ramped up, it was clear that the hard work and persistence in the water was paying off. With high levels of attendance at each session, and the entire pool available for training, everyone was having a blast.

After the many tireless sessions and tough Saturdays, the boys swimming season concluded with the APS Boys' Combined Swimming Final. It was an exciting event where the dedication and hard work of all students was on display. With the College boys team combining with Geelong Grammar's boys' team, we tried our best and swam our hardest against some good competition.

The 2021 season was not the same as usual due to COVID-19 and we were not scheduled to travel up to Melbourne to compete against the usual array of Melbourne schools. As a result of this we had competitions at Geelong Grammar and then every other weekend, we had training at College. With some new faces emerging from the Middle School and students crossing over from other sports, the chemistry within the group started to grow and the mateship and camaraderie within the group became tighter. The competitiveness of the swimmers was clear with many proud of their individual performances and a high standard maintained through the year. All the swimming members were willing to put their hand up to fill in events or lend a cap or goggles to those in need.just showing the level of respect the boys had for each other,

I would like to express my thanks and gratitude on behalf of the swimming team. A huge thanks to the staff who work tirelessly to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thanks to Mr M Taylor for organising everything during the week and for making sure Saturdays were problem free. Thanks to Dean, Tristan, Emad, Mr P Taylor, Ms Oates and everyone else who helped contribute to the swimming program throughout the year, I wish the Boys' Swimming team the best of luck for the future and hope that they can have as much fun and get as much enjoyment out of swimming as I did.

The 2021 GISSAwas a highlight for the boys. It was a great opportunity for us to swim against some of the other Geelong schools and for the boys to see how they stacked up against some of the fastest swimmers. Although the competition was tough, the boys put in a huge effort to record some great PBs, setting us up to be in a great position at our biggest and most anticipated night of the season: APS finals at MSAC, Melbourne,

Girls Swimming The Girls APS swimming team had a great season this year, including impressive results, development and hard work. The coaches for the 2021 season included Dean Alchin and Emad Abouzid, who constantly showed great determination towards the girls and kept us motivated in reaching our goals. Their dedication towards the sport is something that all the girls really appreciated, and it never went unnoticed. The season would not have run so efficiently without their constant enthusiasm and passion which was present at every training and meet. Similarly, the girls' commitment helped us to work harder as a team and to encourage each other along the way, especially during those early mornings. Due to the restrictions of COVID-19, we were unable to travel to Melbourne to compete against the bigger schools. However, this did not stop us from trying our all at weekend meets against our arch-rivals, Geelong Grammar, as well as one meet against Wesley College. Being much smaller in numbers, it was difficult to fill all events, but it was always impressive to see all the girls giving every stroke a go and not being afraid to try something they weren't used to. Although, the swimming team ranges from Year 7s through to Year 12s, there was always a sense of community amongst the team, where girls were always happy to help each other out and give advice.

The first highlight, and first big competition of our season was the GISSA swimming competition. This competition put the girls up against some of the strongest swimmers in the Geelong region. Although the competition was tough at this meet, the girls still put in their best effort to record some great PBs in the pool, putting us in an encouraging position for our biggest and most anticipated night of the season, being the APS finals at MSAC, Melbourne. There, a great atmosphere was promised, as well as the competition against state and national ranked swimmers. This made the girls eager to give it their best shot for their last swim of the season. Some highlights from the night included: 40 PBs recorded, where 21 came from individual swims and 19 from relays. Our best individual results included Romy Heard - 1st U14 50m Butterfly, 1st U14 50m Backstroke (new event record of31.86), Lauren McDougall - 3rd U17 50m Freestyle, 3rd Ul 7 50m Breaststroke and Millicent Agar - 3rd U13 50m Breaststroke. I would like to give a huge thank you to Mr Matt Taylor, the Teacher in Charge of Swimming, for his constant organisation and enthusiasm towards the sport. His hard work is something I know the girls really appreciated. I would also like to thank Ms Oates and Ms Henning for helping at our meets, recording times and keeping us organised. I wish the girls luck in their years ahead, and I hope they enjoy their experience with the team as much as I did. Alice Young, Captain

Boys Diving The Boys Diving season was quite eventful, with many different experiences along the way. As a whole, 2021 proved to be an amazing year for the Boys Diving Team. We had loads offun both on and off the boards, whether that was trying to achieve new goals or being led to victory by our amazing coach, George. Some special mentions for outstanding performances during the season go to Frazer Doak, Bavreet Ubhi and Oscar Roberts. Frazer Doak (Year 12) entered diving this year for the first time. He then proceeded to improve at a phenomenal rate, even winning the majority of events he was in. Bavreet Ubhi (Year 10) was new to the school this year; despite being new he didn't let this stop him from achieving some amazing results, coming 5th in the APS finals at MSAC. Oscar Roberts (Year 10), performed amazingly, having to dive in the Ul 7 age group throughout the year and at the MSAC finals, when he was meant to be in the UlS age group. Great job boys. The whole team would also like to thank all our coaches, George, Grant, Courtney and Grace. We couldn't have done it without the help we received from all of them, and all the fun times we had together. We would also like to thank Mrs Ratcliffe and Ms Yee for all their work behind the scenes that meant we could do all our training sessions and events. Harry West, Captain

Girls Diving This year, the girls had a very positive diving season. It has been fantastic to see divers from all age groups improving their skills both in competition and training. All divers put in lots of effort, and we saw some great improvement. All girls showed their admirable dedication to the sport, and a great desire to learn and grow.

A huge thank you to Mrs Ratcliffe, Mrs Shier, Ms Yee, Mrs Porter, and Ellie Down, for their contribution and dedication to diving, which has been essential to the smooth running of this season. And a thank you to our fantastic coaches, George Niewman, Grace Byrnes, and Grant Nel, who have helped us to improve throughout the season.

This year's squad included 23 team members, who have worked hard throughout the season to improve in competition and training. It was great to see some podium finishes from Laura McQuillan, Tilly Carrington, Sienna Young, Ava Carrington, Simone De Koning, and Georgia Mclellan.

Matilda Abikhair, Captain

On the 24th of March, 12 selected girls competed at the APS finals at MSAC. It was fantastic to see three podium finishes at the finals, with Ava Taylor coming 3rd in the under 14 B division with a score of 74.05, Sienna Young coming 2nd in the under 17 B division with a score of 83. 70, and Matilda Abikhair coming 1st in the open B division with a score of 83.90. It was also terrific to see many new divers in our development squad, who are all showing great potential for future seasons.

Boys Football The boys dived headfirst into the arduous preseason as early as November of 2020. Staying true to the College football values, the boys were desperate not to start the season on the back foot. The 2nds and 3rds footballers displayed signs of brilliance throughout the season, punching well above their weight against larger Melbourne schools, illustrating that unrivalled passion and heart is more important than talent. Although the 2nds finished with only one win, let it be known that this was against Haileybury, who spent a preseason training under the great Matthew Lloyd. The 3rds were able to finish with two wins out offive games, competing admirably in every game. And although the 4ths didn't get a win, they showed great improvement throughout the year, having tremendous fun whilst doing so. The Year 9s and 10s also displayed commendable football campaigns during the 2021 season. The Year l0As were able to take down the APS juggernaut Melbourne Grammar and derby rivals, Geelong Grammar, whilst the l0Bs also finished with two laudable wins. Also, the Year 9s were able to start the season strongly with a round one win against Melbourne Grammar. The first boys' start to the season was not ideal, to say the least. However, we were guided through these trying times by coaches Luke Primus, Jeremy Dyer, Brent Cook and Bo Nixon. They watered the grass they wanted to grow, fostering our talents throughout the season. It was assuring to see that despite some of the losses, our spirit and positivity never wavered- something that remained true for the remainder of the season. Despite these trying times, the boys continually invested unbridled effort and dedication into each other, ensuring that we remained strong as a team.

Over the next few games, we began to show patches of brilliance. Travelling to Wesley post lockdown, the boys showed off a great deal of grit and resilience. After being down by five goals at quarter time, we were men possessed as we wrenched the lead away from Wesley late in the fourth. Unfortunately, we couldn't hold this lead until the final siren, and Wesley walked away with a very lucky win. Despite the loss, the context of the game evidenced our teams' rapid improvements from the beginning of the year. On behalf of our team, a sincere thank you goes to Mr Hodge, Mr Cheatley, Mrs. Sinnott, Mr Cook, volunteers, and all coaches who were involved. The immense support and effort provided to us during the unprecedented circumstances of this year allowed us to play the game that we love, and for that, we all thank you. To the next generation, the many dedicated, committed, passionate and gritty individuals that represent the future of The Geelong College football program, always remember this: everybody loves an underdog.

Girls Football This year was ground-breaking year as it saw The Geelong College play its first AFLW side. The girls presented a fabulous first season only losing the first game narrowly to Caulfield. In our second game ever, we posted our first win against Haileybury, convincingly defeating them 144-1. The girls went on to remain undefeated, which was a remarkable effort for our first season. Some of the highlights were our first win against Haileybury, our 102-0 win against Wesley and our favourite game was the win on Derby Day. This year the girls played in the inaugural AFLW Derby Day against the Geelong Grammar girls on the 22nd of May, which we felt very privileged to be a part of. We were very excited to come away with the win beating the Grammar girls 86-21, meaning that we had won our very first Derby Day trophy. For us as a team, the games were only a small part of the joy and fun we had. In every training session, we had the best time, getting skills and drills done while also finding time to have a laugh as well (rain, hail or shine, even though every Tuesday, it seemed to be raining!). Over the season the bond between the girls grew stronger by the week, which became evident both on and off the field. I would like to thank all the staff and coaches involved in helping get the girls football program off the ground. Extra special thanks go out to Mr Hodge, Ms Utting and our amazing coaches Millie Brown and Olivia Purcell. I would like to applaud the girls on the effort throughout our first season and the bravery they had to take on something so new to the school. We had laughs and good times, and somehow managed to keep winning too! (even ifwe still haven't learnt the song) I wish the girls the very best for the following seasons to come and can't wait to see how this program grows.

Charlotte Newman, Captain

Netball The 2021 season got off to a hopeful start as there was significant interest in netball with twelve Senior School teams entered. As trials began at the end of Term 1, it was evident that everyone was determined to participate and try their best, as the girls continued to refine their netball skills and form connections with their teammates. Each team experienced highs and low, but when times were tough, the girls persisted and adapted to the challenge. Adaptability was our main motto for the everchanging 2021 season. All players were adaptable with weather and changing fixtures. A big thank you to the coaches, umpires and families that have been adaptable to the ever-changing weekly draws, dates and season structure. This taught us to look forward to and enjoy every single game we played as we knew how easily things could change. We learnt to celebrate our ability to train and play with our friends each week as the value of face-to-face interactions only continued to skyrocket. We embraced new opportunities when they arose, such as our virtual training sessions in Term 2 on Teams, where over 40 netballers joined together in their backyards and loungerooms to keep up their skills and fitness.

Thank you to all players and their families for their commitment to each team each week. This commitment saw many teams have fantastic results across the season with the Inter As undefeated all season. Seconds Blue and Seconds Green only had one loss and one draw between them for the season which showcased the strongest Seconds division we have had in some time. Thank you to Miss Langley for her efforts to organise teams, coaches, trainings and umpires this year as TIC of Netball. A huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in The Geelong College 2021 APS Netball season and I wish the future teams all the very best for the years to come. Tess Campigli, Captain

We also wish to congratulate Tess on being selected in the 2021 APS Representative Netball Team. This is a brilliant achievement and a fitting recognition of Tess's strength on the court against some of the best netballers in the state. Sarah Langley, TIC

The lsts VII netball team coached by Katrina Daws had a very successful season, defeating long-time rivals Gee long Grammar on Derby Day for the first time in 10 years. This was a testament to the hard work and depth of talent in our netball program. A strength and conditioning program was also introduced for the lsts conducted by Conor Guina. Whilst several APS games were cancelled due to restrictions, the 1st team were able to compete in the Netball Victoria Schools Championships competition where they won the Geelong Region tournament. With such a young team, netball is in safe hands for the coming years.

Boys Hockey The boys' hockey team brought together a high-performing group from all year levels. After a largely non-existent 2020 season, it was with good fortune that we were able to return to the hockey pitch for six exhilarating games. On the road we remained undefeated thanks to the tremendous efforts of forwards Luke Cannard, Lachie Robson, and Josh Wilkinson. Accompanying this masterclass of strikers, long-standing team members Johnny Pendlebury and Alex Whitford continued to bring vitality to the sport alongside constant encouragement and leadership. Likewise, the extraordinary defensive work from Sam Milner, Conor Brown, and goalkeeper Jye Charles consistently kept our opponents at bay and the scoreboard tipped in our favour. Back at home, we rivalled the likes of Haileybury and Melbourne Grammar successfully, but fell short just once against Geelong Grammar in a close and competitive 2-3 defeat. For the most part, the 'Rankin Field advantage' gave us an edge on gameday, as we were able to employ tactics and plays mastered on the home turf. Monday and Thursday night training sessions prepared us well for Saturday's APS matches just as much as they offered an enjoyable hour and a half of exercising and socialising. Our team's success was determined mainly by our communication, which arose out of everyone's willingness to learn about, engage in, and improve their hockey. Whether it was Alex Fry and Max Wheelahan showing their expertise in a drill, or Rory Dennis and Will Hunter demonstrating a new technique, our team was defined by an enthusiastic group of players. Contributing to the TGC team spirit, our coaches Jack Yates and Lorean Hancock were instrumental to the enjoyment and success of our hockey team. It's been a pleasure to learn from them for many years now, and I trust that they will continue to be valuable assets to the TGC hockey teams of the future.

172

Given that our team is so varied and intermixed with players from all year levels, I have full confidence that this team will continue to expand, improve, and thrive in years to come. I hope they are able to see through an entire season next year, and that they continue to revel in such a superb sport. As I do for our teacher-in-charge, Josh Bartlett, and our coaches, Jack and Lorean, I owe everyone in the boys' hockey team a well-deserved congratulations and thanks for showing such determination and ardour this 2021 APS season.

Girls Hockey It was very exciting for the girls to be able to take to the hockey pitch again. The 2021 season saw many new faces pick up a stick, wanting to join in the fun and challenges this great sport provides. With so many new players the girls did a fantastic job working on their skills, positioning, teamwork and the general flow of the game. With determination and enthusiasm there were small wins, not on the scoreboard but rather in our spirit and camaraderie. New coach Stephanie Tait brought determination and enthusiasm to each training session and game. Steph's expertise got us into shape with 800 metre sprints that helped our fitness in each game. The girls worked very hard and should be very proud of their efforts, commendably working together and encouraging each other consistently. Our opponents throughout the season were very strong and the scores reflected this. However, we worked as a team, gained confidence and reduced the deficit dramatically.

I would like to especially thank the first girls' hockey team for making my last year playing hockey at College memorable. To my vice-captain lmmy Edwards and the other Year 12s - I couldn't have asked for a better group to enjoy the last year with and to share the many laughs and passion for the sport. To Steph, Zoe and Lily; thank you for coming to every training and encouraging everyone to try their hardest whilst putting a smile on all our faces. We couldn't have done this season without you, so thank you. I would like to also thank Josh Bartlett, for his organisation every week. His dedication towards hockey is much appreciated. Finally, thank you to all the hockey girls for their commitment and achievement this year. I hope you all continue to play hockey, even after school, to continue your skills, passion and team spirit! Olivia Allen, Captain

We were able to score two goals; one at home against Geelong Grammar on Derby Day and the most memorable game of the season, and one in our last game against Caulfield 4-1. This game was played after five weeks of no training and showed our growth and potential. A special mention goes to our incredible goalie Liam Bishop who time and time again saved our team. The second girls' hockey team also welcomed new enthusiastic coaches Zoe Sandner and Lily Edwards, who brought passion and encouragement to the team. With many new faces the girls came together and showed a lot of determination and team spirit. Unfortunately, the scores didn't reflect the hard work. Despite the many disruptions throughout this year (leaving the second girls with just three full games), the girls persevered and were able to get a goal against Carey 1-3. The second girls should be very proud of their efforts!

Boys Basketball It has been an honour to have been selected as the basketball captain for 2021, I cherish the memories, friendships, tough losses and thrilling wins that were created on the court in my years as a part of the basketball program at The Gee long College. Despite the interruptions due to COVID-19, we were fortunate to compete this season despite it being shortened. Regardless of this, basketball at The Geelong College has seen a lot of success this season as we had three of our six squads go undefeated, which includes the 9B, l0B and the 4ths boys. The 9B boys coached by James Nicholls were dominant within their competition. Their most impressive win was against Wesley College with the score being 55-4. The l0C boys, coached by Emad Abouzid early then Max Dawe, weren't as successful. However, their only win was in a nail biter against Haileybury, securing their win by three points. Their record does not reflect their talents and the effort they put in every time they stepped on the court.

I was able to witness most teams train this season, and I was very impressed with the work ethic and intensity that our basketball players played with, preparing themselves well for every weekend while honing their skills on the court. This successful season of basketball showcased the potential in our Years 9 and 10 squads to blossom in the coming years, which I wish I could witness and be a part of. I'd like to thank Mr Carroll for working hard behind the scenes, and the coaches who put a lot of time and effort into helping our basketball players work on their craft on the court. I hope that we carry our success into the coming seasons. Arvin Sadeghinad, Captain

The undefeated lOB boys were just as strong as the 9B boys. Coached by Angus Forsyth, their best game of the season was against Melbourne Grammar with the scoreboard showing 54-25. The 5th boys, coached by Mr Donovan, were just one win away from an undefeated season which would have given us 4 undefeated squads for the season, but unfortunately it was too good to be true. Their most notable game was in a victory against Carey, with the score being 58-15. The undefeated 4th boys were a strong squad full of talent and their competition stood no chance. Coached under James Headlam, their most impressive win was against Carey as they won 55 to 16. Now, although the 1st squad did not go undefeated, with the knowledgeable Jo Bowie as our coach, we won 3 of the 5 games played. As a member of the 1st team for four years, I can confirm that this was the first time we finished a season with a positive record. The game, that showed off our chemistry as a team, was against Brighton Grammar, as we won 44to 28.

Girls Basketball The Geelong College 2021 basketball season consisted of four Senior School girls teams. Heading into the new season there was some uncertainty about how much of a disruption COVID was going to have on APS fixtures. However, this didn't affect the girls' motivation and hard work, After many setbacks with the numerous lockdowns throughout Terms 2 and 3, the support from staff and coaches played a massive part in allowing the girls to quickly adapt to a fragmented season. With many Saturday games cancelled, our teams were able to focus on improving our individual skills whilst also working well in a team environment at trainings, This year the 1st Girls team playing in the 2nds competition were fortunate to have Jared Boyce fill the role of coach. Having a team comprised of fairly new players across all year levels, Jared's commitment and talent helped enhance the team's basketball knowledge and abilities. Even so, the girls went up against well experienced teams and hard fought games that left the team without winning a game, The 3rd Girls Green team coached by Mr Al Smith consisted of a well-spirited team that put up a fight all season. With the squad filled with Year 12 girls, they showed determination and spirit for their last ever APS winter season. Although it took a little while for the girls to adapt to basketball, as most were playing their first season, their hard work saw benefits late in the season, The after-school trainings helped them see improvement. The girls managed to finish off their APS career strong after showcasing their great potential, winning against both Carey and Haileybury by around 10 points.

176

Led by Simon Dundas, the 3rd Girls Blue team showed off their many talents. Having come together as a team, their work ethic and teamwork proved useful towards the end of the season. Despite facing losses after competing hard against different Melbourne schools, the team had exciting and smashing wins in their last two games of the season, The girls showed tremendous efforts against Wesley College and Yarra Valley, smashing both teams with a score of 32-8. The Inter B girls' team was lucky enough to be coached by Ange Morris, who was able to help the team practise and further enhance their basketball abilities, Whilst the girls illustrated through their first game against Haileybury that they were a force to be reckoned with, they unfortunately lost by just one goal. The games proved to be tough as the team was unlucky not to come away from the season with a win. All the girls should be proud of the effort they put in to not only help themselves improve but to better their team too. I would like to give a massive thank you to Mr Carroll, for putting in the time to make the season run as smoothly as possible through COVID, and to all other staff and coaches for helping everyone enhance their basketball skills whilst still keeping it enjoyable. I wish all the returning basketballers the best for 2022, Jazz Wood, Captain

There were impressive improvements and hard work being shown by James Pojani over the course of the season earning him a call-up to the First XL The 5th XI, coached by none other than Kevin Flanagan, obtained a perfect five wins from five matches, with the highlight being a dominant 13-1 victory over Melbourne Grammar, The standout performers were Year 1 ls Indigo Daly and Steven Wang, along with soccer veterans Patrick Whan and Lucas Kors. The 1st boys who played in the APS second division had a mixed season with a young squad, coached by Jaime Monteith and Edward Kovacev. After losing some quality Year 12s last year, we obtained two wins, a draw and two losses, with the victories being a convincing 6-0 against Haileybury and a close 3-2 against Brighton Grammar, The boys had unfortunate losses against Xavier (0-1) and St, Kevin's (1-2), along with a draw against Scotch (3-3). Congratulations to all players for a successful season and dedication to training, as well as a massive thank you to all staff and coaches involved in allowing the APS soccer season to be a success, Adam Neagle, Captain

Girls Soccer Whilst I wish I could say this season was unprecedented due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, unfortunately, the girls' soccer cohort have survived disrupted schedules and lastminute cancellations for two seasons running. With a significant reduction in numbers since previous years, the College fronted two teams, the Junior Band 1st girls, to face tough opposition from Melbourne sides.

From the motivation of pre-game speeches to the windy and rainy after-school trainings, I have enjoyed every moment of being able to lead the girls' soccer cohort and I look forward to the potential we have as a squad moving forward and the major achievements yet to come. Congratulations to all the girls for pushing through and committing to this beautiful game. We'll be back next year and we're coming for the top.

The Junior B team coached passionately by long standing mentors, Madame Zauli and Aidan Zauli, had a successful season to say the least. In the short time presented to us, they managed to win or draw all but one of their games. Some notable score lines include 8-0 against Haileybury and 4-1 against PEGS, demonstrating their resilience and determination as a team. I commend the girls on their hard work throughout an interrupted and difficult line up of games and I look forward to playing alongside many of them next year.

Bailey Gait, Captain

As a 1st squad, our 5-game season presented us with many challenges. We overcame a lack of numbers, numerous injuries, inconveniences and hard training sessions. We bonded quickly as a unit, integrating new members into our tight-knit group and banding together to learn new skills, tricks and plays. With the addition of some newfound talent, and under the leadership of coaches Joe, Courtney and Mr D'Agostin, we found our strength early in the season during a 5-2 victory in a practice match against Geelong Grammar. Whilst we grappled with some difficult score lines, the grit and drive evident in every single individual was formidable and not one of our tough opponents was given a result without a deserving battle. Every single player put their faith in both each other and themselves, and they should all be proud of their technical and mental growth in such a physically demanding environment.

Equestrian What a year it has been! With many of our team usually competing in a range of events it wasn't easy due to COVID-19 in 2020 and no competitions. Returning to competition just before the start of 2021, we competed in the Leader Equine Senior Victorian lnterschool Equestrian State Championships. Maddison Rodgers and Ella McCann both competed in combined training placing 10th and 9th respectively. Ella McCann placed 3rd overall, after clearing all show jumps. Tansy Sagar, competing in the 120-class placed 2nd overall, Sunday Barrack competing in the primary 90-class placed 3rd overall. Sunday Barrack competing in the primary 90 - class placed 3rd overall. Emma Wilkinson in the primary 65 combined training placed overall 3rd. Shayleigh Joblin riding in the primary Preliminary lB div 1 placed equal 7th and in lC placed 2nd, Shayleigh rode her other horse in the primary preliminary Div. 2, In lB she placed 7th and in lC she placed 1st. Well done to all our team members for some great rides and to their parents for braving the elements, Special thanks to my mum for keeping the team bonded together during our time camping onsite.

The team travelled to Elmore for a weekend of interschool competition with over 200 other horses from the northwest of the state and again did very well with many wins for the team. Well done to Tansy Sagar, Sunday Borra ck and Shayleigh Joblin who made it to the Nationals, This event was to be hosted in Victoria this year, but unfortunately was cancelled due to another round ofCOVID-19 lockdowns, Finally, we competed in our first College vs Grammar Derby this year, We headed out to Grammar with our dressage team where we had a great day of competition in their fabulous indoor arena. Competition was hot with great rounds by both schools' riders. College was thrilled to take out the coveted trophy, with great support from our families, making it a very special day on our calendar, The team would like to thank our parents for taking us to the events and our Teacher in Charge, Mr Rob Kayler-Thomson for his commitment and support. Ella Mccann, Captain

In February 2021, Geelong Grammar held their lnterschools dressage day at Werribee Park. In the novice primary events, Shayleigh Joblin placed 2nd overall, and 3rd overall on her other mount, Emma Wilkinson placed 4th overall in the preliminary primary. Other riders competing as a team placed 4th, In February the PCV State Dressage and Show jumping Championships were held.

Ella McCann competed in the C grade, placing 14th and 16th out of 48 riders, unfortunately getting a rail in both rounds. In March, Assumption College lnterschool Dressage was held. Emma Wilkinson competing in the preliminary Primary placed 4th in test lA and 1st in test lB which was an amazing result. Shayleigh Joblin won the Primary Novice in test 2A and finished 3rd in test 2B resulting in 2nd overall. The school placed 4th overall.

Shooting After a promising start, clay target shooting competitions were disrupted due to COVID -19 closing the sport across the State. Having the biggest team ever for the College, this was disappointing. The first event was held at Barham in NSW. Although a long distance to travel, it was a great weekend where the boys got to know each other well. Staying at Echuca overnight, we had an early start at Gron across the border. A new course was set this year and with other school numbers down we thought our prospects were good. The two squads had a disappointing first round, but a much better second round with our new team member Angus Rudge coming home with a third place overall just edging out Gus Sweeney.

The next competition in Melbourne was hosted by Lilydale. It is always a great competition with mainly schools from the East participating. Historically we have done well, but again we got off to a slow start and struggled all day with the three rounds of mixed targets. Many of the team were just behind the top three all day. Again, Angus Rudge did very well and finished third overall, after a tense few rounds. We all look forward to when we can compete again and would like to acknowledge the time and effort our TIC, Mr Rob KaylerThomson, and Mr Alchin and Mr Bell put into the organizing of events, training and driving us all over the state for the sport we love competing in.

Golf AGSV-APS-BAS Golf Tournament On Monday 26th April, students travelled by bus to the Yarra Valley Golf Club for a day on the course. Angelo Binos, Lucas Kors, Tom Gross and Hamish Craig were the four competitors, all of whom enjoyed the pristine course within Melbourne's East. Angelo and Hamish were most accurate, both shooting 87, followed by Lucas and Tom. Many thanks go to the club organisers and event management team for the organisation of what was a professional and smoothly operating AGSV-APSBAS Golf Tournament.

GISSA Golf Championships On Friday 5 November, eight Geelong College students competed in the 2021 GISSA Golf Championship at Lonsdale Links golf course. They were greeted with an overcast morning at the newly redesigned Lonsdale Links course, with the trademark wind starting to pick up as the students warmed up on the driving range and practice greens. With 40 players competing from a handful of GISSA schools we headed to the first tee with anticipation. Conditions improved throughout the day with the sun coming out as some of our golfers started to find their groove out on the course. In tricky conditions Charlie Larsen (Year 9) played a terrific round of golf finishing 2+ over for the day to claim the GISSA Individual Champion trophy. Tom Greer (Year 10) finished with 34 points to win the Stableford category. Well done, in particular to those two students! The general public made several comments that our students were well mannered and having fun whilst out on course. A big thankyou to GISSA for organising the event and to our Geelong College students who represented the school extremely well. Seamus Orr (TIC)

Cross Country The boys' Cross Country team had a very historic season this year. For the first time in The Gee long College's history, we entered a team to compete for APS premiership points. This provided the boys with a lot of motivation during training each week since we were not just competing for ourselves but also for each other, which also helped to build a strong and thriving culture within the team. Consisting of Angus Thomas, Matthew Kweh, Harry Garland and Ashley Lane, the U14 boys kicked off the season in style, claiming silver at the Victorian Road Relay Championships and bronze at the Victorian Cross Country Relay Championships. The U 16 boys had some unfortunate injuries leading into the season which meant they were unable to complete all four legs of either of these relays. They will look to capitalise when they get the opportunity again next year with the likes of Jesse Russell, Edu Wissfield, Oli Bradshaw and Jacob Sprunt. Running in the intermediate age group in fields of over 160 athletes, Matthew Kweh managed to finish inside the top 15 in every race - impressive considering he has three more years in this age category. Despite struggling early in the season at each of the relay championships, the senior boys were able to regroup and run some great races during the APS season. There was a strong field of over 120 athletes competing in the senior APS division each week, with many state representative runners across the field. With strong contributions from our younger talent Angus Thomas, Jacob Sprunt, Oli Bradshaw and Edu Wissfield and Year 12s Myles Vagg, Angus McMurtrie and Dominic Bongiorno, we managed to take some great wins over Geelong Grammar, Melbourne Grammar, Brighton Grammar and Carey Grammar. This placed us in 7th position on the APS ladder at the end of the season, a tremendous effort for our first season competing for APS premiership points. A special mention goes to Dom Bongiorno who was by far our most improved runner, improving 22 positions between Round 1 and the final round. Unfortunately, the much-anticipated Victorian Cross Country State Championships were cancelled due to COVID-19. This meant that there was no opportunity for our boys to push for state selection, but I am confident that the younger boys will make use of this opportunity when it arises in the coming years. The future of boys Cross Country at The Geelong College is certainly bright. Many thanks go to our coaches Graeme Watkins, Erica Fountain, Coreena Cleland and Hamish Dobie for making this season a successful one and pushing us to our limits, week in and week out. Zac Norton, Boys Captain

The 2021 cross country season was eagerly anticipated; it is always an exciting time of the year with team members embracing weekly training sessions, APS competition, state championships and the social aspects. The team was made up of 10 talented runners, including girls that had been on the team for many years and some that were new, but all with the common goal of doing their best and enjoying the sport. The season was memorable with lots of success.

Each team member should be proud of their efforts, attitudes, improvements and achievements. A typical week of cross country consisted of intervals at Landy Field on a Monday, Barwon River long runs on a Wednesday, strength training at Senior School on a Thursday, and racing on a Saturday. Training sessions were always challenging, fun and designed to get the best out of us. As the season progressed the benefits of training could be seen through our results. The official APS competition commenced in May and we were fortunate to be able to compete in three rounds - at Haileybury, Gee long Grammar and Yarra Bend. It was clear to see from the start that we had a talented team with a highlight being Round 2 at Geelong Grammar on a frosty, sunny Saturday morning. All runners excelled with Isla running bravely, Sophie demonstrating her grit in a strong finish and Connie giving her all for her best ever placing. We were grateful that parents had the opportunity to come along to support our team. The girls competing in the APS are of a high calibre, which meant we ran against the best in the state each week. It is an outstanding achievement for our girls to have finished the APS season on the podium in 3rd place. I am so proud of each team member and their contributions. We had the opportunity to compete at two state championship events and excelled at both, resulting in gold medals. At the Victorian All School Road Relays, our under 20 team (Connie, Cassidy, Mia and Isla} won the 4 x 3km event in a strong field of 27 teams. At the Victorian All Schools Cross Country Relays our under 20 team (Skye, Connie, Cassidy and Isla} won the 4 x 4km event, with second place Caulfield over a minute behind. Amazing results to be the state champions for both the road and cross country relays. We were fortunate to be coached by the accomplished Graeme Watkins and assisting coaches Erica Fountain, Coreena Cleland and Hamish Dobie. The coaches were always well prepared and provided us with outstanding support and encouragement. We thank the coaching staff for a fun season in 2021. The entire team, both girls and boys, formed a special bond, with camaraderie throughout our tough training sessions, long bus trips to events and team dinners. The future is bright for the cross country team with many talented and dedicated runners in the squad. I wish the team every success for the future. It was an honour to captain The Geelong College Girls Cross Country team across 2020 and 2021, and to be a part of the team since its inception at the school in 2017. Cross country has been one of the highlights ofmy school years, with many exciting opportunities, adventures, memories to treasure and friendships for life. Skye Ellis, Girls Captain

Snowsports As another year passes without Snowsports due to COVID-19 it has been pleasing to see that interest in the program continues to grow. We began the season with parent drinks at the Gold Diggers Arms on Thursday 6 May, with 45 people in attendance. It was a great night filled with optimism for what was to come ... But after a postponement to the beginning of September, the Victorian lnterschool Snowsports Championships were cancelled in MidAugust as the whole of Victoria was in lockdown. A huge thank you to our leadership team of Emerson Facer (Captain), and Andy Deans and Harriet Koch (Vice-Captains), who did a wonderful job of boosting morale by preparing packs with lollies, hoodies and stickers and delivering them to all registered Snowsports participants this year. Despite their own personal disappointment, it was heartening to see the leadership displayed by these three young adults, who were committed to ensuring their teammates felt supported by the Snowsports program. We will miss you and are disappointed that you missed your chance in Division 1 but look forward to seeing you on the slopes next year! To everyone else, I can't wait to see you all on snow next year. Remember you don't need to be an expert racer to join our amazing team, just enjoy skiing or boarding and want to be a part of a great program.

Slopestyle Board. At the Australian lnterschool Snowsports Championships he added individual gold in the Snowboard and bronze in the Boarder X, and team golds in the Snowboard and Boarder X team and bronze in the Ski X. Andy has been a great leader in the program, inspiring others with his obvious enjoyment of everything to do with the snow, and his off mountain early starts. Andy was the recipient of the Spirit of the lnterschools Award in 2021 and is looking to continue racing, ski instructing at Falls Creek and to train as a ski patroller next year. He will remain involved with College Snowsports as a coach next year.

Harriet Koch Harriet has been a stalwart of the lnterschools beginning with MLC when she was in Year 3 and moving to The Geelong College in Year 7. Harriet has been a consistent performer over the years and was awarded Half Colours for Snowsports in 2019 for her regular top 30% finishes in both Alpine and Ski X. Harriet has been a supportive teammate, regularly seen at the sides of courses cheering for her teammates of all ages. She is a good sport, appreciative of officials and volunteers and helpful to younger skiers. Harriet is a qualified level one ski instructor and hopes to continue to work at Mt Buller around her university commitments.

Nicole Roache, Snowsports Coordinator

Captain and Vice-Captain Profiles Emerson Facer Emerson has been an outstanding Snowsports competitor from Year 7, representing the College at both state and national level and bringing home a swag of medals. In 2019 Emerson won the silver medal in the Alpine GS and the Slopestyle Ski as an individual and team gold in the Slopestyle Ski, Snowboard, Boarder X and Slopestyle Board, as well as a team bronze in the Moguls at the Victorian lnterschool Snowsports Championships. At the Australian lnterschool Snowsports Championships team golds in the Slopestyle Ski, Slopestyle board, Snowboard and Boarder X, as well as a team bronze in the Ski X. Emerson was selected in the Youth Olympic Squad for 2020 and continues to compete overseas and in Australia. Not only can Emerson ski and board, but he is the ultimate team player. He has coached younger students, put up flags and brought them in, and provided leadership and inspiration in everything he has done. Keep an eye out for Emerson, we hope to see him in an Australian team in the future!

Andy Deans Andy too has been an outstanding competitor for the College at State and National level, improving from consistently good performances in Years 6 to 8 to a multiple medal winner in Years 9 and 10. In 2019 Andy brought home individual gold medals in the Snowboard and Slopestyle Board, a silver in the Boarder X, and team golds in Slopestyle Ski, Snowboard, Boarder X and

Captains ofAthletics Cassidy Bradshaw & Nicholas O'Brien

Athletics The 2021 Athletics season was halted after one week because ofCOVID restrictions, so College athletes missed the opportunity to compete at the APS Finals for the second year in a row. This was especially disappointing for a strong group of Year 12 athletes led by our Captains Cassidy Bradshaw and Nick O'Brien. Both athletes have provided a fine example to others in their commitment to training and competitive spirit. Each year they accepted the challenge of undertaking multiple events at the APS Athletics Finals and they often competed above their age groups to help the team. Their determination to give their best at all times was admired by all athletes and coaches in the Geelong College squad. Both athletes also made significant contributions to our teams which competed in Athletics Victoria events such as the Victorian Schools Track Relay Championships and the Nitro Schools Challenge. In Cassidy's six years in the team (from the age of eleven), her versatility has been shown in sprints, middle distance, horizontal jumps, and relay events. She has achieved an amazing nine wins in individual events and an APS Record in the U 17 Long Jump in 2019. Currently she holds four School Records in Long Jump and Triple Jump events. Cassidy's team focus and her encouragement of younger athletes have been notable. Nick was a member of the Geelong College team for five years and made a big impact in APS Athletics in 2016 with a dominant win in the U14 800m, setting a new APS Record which still stands. He went on to win the 800m three years in a row and was a key member in our 4 x 800m, 4 x 400m and 4 x 100m relay teams. His fluent and powerful running style was admired by all, and he currently holds three School Records in 800m and 400m events. Cassidy and Nick have represented Geelong College with distinction, and we wish them every success in the future.

Duke of Edinburgh Over the last two years a lot has changed with the delivery of programs and organisations have been required to be adaptable and innovative.

Congratulations to the 11 students who completed levels of the Award in 2021. For those students wanting to commence the Award please contact the careers department.

Recognised as a Community Service and Youth Leadership Award an innovative approach is built into the Duke of Edinburgh Award's philosophy and students, with support from the Award organisation, have come up with many different ways to participate and contribute.

Adrian Blades, Careers Educator

In addition to being innovative, students have shown creativity and resilience by finding a way to contribute and participate remotely. For those activities that involve direct support in the service section it has been particularly noticeable. In 2020, some students made masks and participated in activities supporting people in isolation and over the last 12 months activities included sewing pouches for injured and endangered animals and providing aid and care within the government guidelines to senior citizens. One such example is Hinano Arai who has been learning remotely in Japan since early 2020 and took the opportunity to participate in activities in support of her local community. The last two years have given participants an opportunity to be innovative and think of the many ways they can stay healthy, learn new skills, help others and plan activities such as the Adventurous Journey and Residential Project thoroughly, a skill that will be valuable for them in coming years.

The circumstances of the last two years and the ability of students and the Award organisation to adapt and participate in activities that were not previously considered for the Award provides great insight into the possibilities available to new and future participants.

Principals P,ssay Prize Creativity Takes Courage People called Walt Disney 'crazy.' His first animation company went bankrupt, and he was rejected 300 times by financiers who thought his idea of Mickey Mouse was 'absurd.· In his lifetime, Vincent Van Gogh was poor and virtually unknown, able to sell only one of his 1,000 paintings for a small amount of money. Socrates was widely hated by the public and was sentenced to death for his innovative ideas. Even Jane Austen's original manuscript of Pride and Prejudice was curtly rejected in five words - 'declined by Return of Post.' Such are the tales of many great figures of creativity and innovation hailed in the books of history. But be they inventors, film directors or musicians - be they rejected, scorned, or ridiculed - they all had one thing in common, and that is, the courage to bring their visions to life, despite all costs. Today, Van Gogh's paintings are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Socrates is known as the 'Father of Western Philosophy,' Pride and Prejudice has never been out of print and Walt Disney...well, let's just say Mickey Mouse lives on. It was Henri Matisse, the French artist widely regarded as the greatest colourist of the 20th century, who once famously said, 'To look at something as though we had never seen it before requires great courage.' In essence, 'Creativity takes courage.' For at its core, that's what creativity truly is - to look at something as though we've never seen it before, to follow the untrodden path. Creativity takes the courage to be true to our original selves, to search deep within our imagination, to test its very borders ...the power to be nonconformists in a world where we are pressured to conform. Albert Einstein once wrote: 'Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.' It's as true as E = mc 2 • If you're brave enough to follow your imagination, you can go anywhere, not just down the beaten paths well-worn by those before you. In this modern age where we are inextricably connected through technology and the internet, your ideas can be spread far and wide in mere seconds. Once they're up there for all to see, there's no going back. Whatever you post, whatever you share, wherever you go, praise will be countered by criticism, love shadowed by hate and success succeeded by failure. Creative works and ideas are always subjective. But isn't that what makes exploring your originality so beautiful and exciting? There is no one correct answer, approach, or interpretation. You can seize any of the limitless possibilities that allure you. However, it is a sad reality that many of us hesitate to let our creative juices flow, for fear ofjudgement and censure. We stem the flow of our imaginations, seeking instead the well-used formulas and checklists. So many pencils that never touched paper, theories unexplored, songs never sung ... sometimes; we lack so much confidence, we claim other people's creativity for our own. Better stick to the tried and true, the safest option in a world of fear and expectations. But what would happen ifwe changed that world? Regardless of whether you're the best of the best or the worst of the worst, there's always criticism. Even the Mona Lisa has her despisers. People have the right to their own opinions, and we can't change that. But what you can change is the way in which you choose to react to criticism - because nobody has the power to make you question your creativity if you don't let them. Take constructive feedback in your stride, ignore comments that aren't worth your while ... and remember, when expressing your own opinions about other people's work, harming someone's self-esteem will never help anyone (perhaps least of all yourself). In today's world of increasing automation, creativity is of greater importance than ever. We need to be innovative to address pressing world issues such as climate change and rapid population growth. We need to change the climate in workplaces and schools ... in fact, revolutionise the very principles that underpin our society, rewrite the societal norms that restrict us from being who we are ... for if everybody keeps following everyone else all the time, how will we ever get anywhere? We will always be going around in an eternal circle ofrepeating history. So, be a pioneer, pursue your dreams. Through doing so, you can help to make the world a place where everybody has the courage to be their true, creative selves.

The Geelong College Foundation It is a pleasure for me to write this report for Pegasus as the new President of The Geelong College Foundation. Our 2021 AGM was held in late March in Wayaparee and it was lovely for our Foundation members to experience this beautiful new facility at the new Junior School (Campbell House). After nine years as a director, Cam Emerson (OGC 1958) retired from the Foundation Board this year and we can't thank him enough for his dedication and service to the College. Nick Gilchrist (OGC 2001), a current parent at the school, agreed to fill the vacancy left by Cam and was elected as a director of the Foundation Board at the AGM, Sandy Hutton stepped down as President of the Foundation at the conclusion of the AGM after fulfilling that role for the past six years but will remain as a director of the Foundation, Andrew Cameron and Anna Webb were elected as the Vice Presidents for 2021 and I thank them for taking on these important roles. Our Foundation members joined the College Council and the 2021 Prefects for Lunch in the Dining Hall on 29 April where we enjoyed listening to the past Chairman of Council, Dr Hugh Seward, talk to us about the culture, stewardship and history of The Geelong College and how this has shaped the current character of our school and how the Foundation has played a part in that. We were thoroughly entertained by Year 12 VET music students Darcey Byrne, India Connor, Alison McHarry and Imogen Edwards singing a song written by India Connor, Thank you to all of the Year 12 students who joined us on the day to make it so special, the Foundation members enjoyed your company immensely,

In lieu of the Year 12 music students missing the opportunity to celebrate the culmination of their music journey at the College, the Foundation presented each of the Year 12 music students with a book, Year of Wonder by Clemency Burton-Hill. We wish all of the Year 12 students well with their future endeavours. Congratulations to our newest Foundation Fellows, Jane Sampson and Seamus Orr, who will participate in the Stronger Smart Leadership Program and the Leadership Course at the Rites of Passage Institute respectively. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we haven't been able to host any Foundation events during the second half of this year. Our Morongo Lunch for Morongo Old Collegians, our Community Golf Day and our morning tea for Morrison Society members will all be back on next year and we look forward to hosting these and other community events in 2022. Scott Chirnside, Foundation President

Thank you to our amazing College community for getting behind our Annual Giving campaign this year and supporting our scholarship fund, in particular Boarding scholarships, Pegasus scholarships and the Bill Williams Tjungurrayi Scholarship. Your generous contributions have also allowed us to continue the refurbishment of the Cloisters through your giving to our building fund. Thank you for your continued support of the College. The annual Foundation Concert was scheduled for 13 August but unfortunately had to be cancelled at the last minute due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Music Captains Elizabeth Kefaloukos, Nicholas O'Brien with Foundation President Scott Chimside

Farewells Roger Smith After 24 years of loyal service as a Mathematics teacher and member of The Geelong College executive, Mr. Roger Smith retired from The Geelong College at the end of Semester 1 this year. Roger was appointed to The Geelong College as Head of Senior School, commencing in January 1997. Throughout his time at College, he taught senior Mathematics to the highest secondary school level and coached senior tennis as well as supporting students and staff across College in the role of Deputy Principal from September 2014. Soon after his appointment to Deputy Principal Roger was appointed Acting Principal in April 2015 until December 2015, returning to his normal role of Deputy Principal in January 2016 until December 2020. Due to poor health in 2021 Roger moved to a part-time role as Assistant to the Principal - Special Projects in which he assisted key projects related to our strategic objectives in Learning Outdoors and Service Learning as we looked to emerge from the Global pandemic. Roger's contribution to the life of our students both inside the classroom and in Learning Outdoors has been enormous. He has been credited with coining the phrase "Learning Outdoors" which captures the importance of the learning experiences of our students beyond the traditional classroom context in shaping their opportunities beyond their formal school years. In addition to his teaching and interaction with students at school over the years Roger has participated in no less than 10 Exploration Society Expeditions as well as Fulfilling Lives trips. Roger's special connection to the Pacific island community of Tanna has been very important for College. With the enthusiastic support and interest of his wife, Heather, the connection has continued with great significance for both the people of Tanna and The Geelong College. We are also grateful to Heather for her engagement in student experiences and her active participation in a number of trips over the years. We are all very grateful for and in admiration of the distinguished service to The Geelong College by Roger Smith. In each role since 1997 Roger has always been a much-respected member of our College Executive team, especially as Acting Principal in 2015. Personally, I am very grateful for his support, guidance and wise counsel as Deputy Principal since I started here in 2016. It has been a privilege to work with a colleague the calibre of Roger Smith. Dr Peter Miller

Meegan Baker Junior School Performance Coordinator Meegan has been a member of The Gee long College community for the past 4 years, being the Coordinator of Music from EL-Year 8 since 2019. During her period of employment at The Geelong College, Meegan's dedication and commitment to her specialist field of music earned her a reputation for amazing talent and commitment to her students. Meegan is a gifted musician, a skilled pianist and vocalist. She has transfixed audiences with her performances, our most memorable being when the College launched the Steinway pianos, with her recital of Nocturne Op.27 No.2 by Chopin. Meegan has led our Campbell House Mini Singers and Singing Sensations and demonstrated adaptability and hidden talents for video performance, as we had to pivot in pedagogical practice during the height of COVI D-19 restrictions. Meegan worked tirelessly with our students in preparation for the variety of College performances such as Assembly, formal celebrations such as the Year 12 Farewell, Chapel Services and the Foundation Concert. Meegan worked with teachers to ensure the content she was exploring for her specialist area was aligned to the inquiry of each year level. This produced outcomes such as exquisite soundscapes and the legacy of the Year 3 Farewell Song. This is performed at the Year 3 Farewell to Campbell House. The entire time, Meegan ensured our students were central and empowered by their experiences Meegan is a collaborative professional who takes the fear out of performing for even the most timid oflearners, encouraging each individual to reach their full potential. It has been a pleasure to have Meegan as such a respected and valued member of our school community. Dr Phillip Bohun

Farewells Lisa Davis Library Technician For 17 years, Lisa Davis has been an integral team member of the Junior School and her retirement this year has left staff, particularly in the library, missing her presence greatly. Lisa started at the College as an Integration Aide and Library Technician in 2004. During the time that followed, Lisa worked closely with many of the Junior School teachers assisting them in their classes and with library staff ensuring the day-to-day operations of the library flowed smoothly. Her sense of humour and easy-going nature endeared her to the students in her care and her quick wit always brought a smile to anyone she encountered. Lisa became affectionately known as 'Super Davis', to both students and staff. In 2014, Lisa relinquished her Integration Aide role and concentrated solely on assisting in the library. She always approached her roles and tasks with considerable diligence and pride, often going above and beyond to assist staff and students. As Lisa embarks on the next phase of her life - 'have caravan, will travel', we thank her for substantial contributions to the College, its staff, and students. She will be greatly missed by all, and we wish her every happiness for the future. Gowell, 'Super'. Andrea McGucken

Brad Dawson Teacher & Performance Coordinator Brad was and is a true Rock Star! His presence at The Geelong College over several years was an inspiration for hundreds of young drummers and percussionists. His total commitment to our program was the reason they just kept coming to learn from him, and the reason they stayed to enjoy his lessons. Brad taught IMT music across all three campuses from the very beginner to the most advanced student, giving both equal attention and support. His involvement in the co-curricular program also laid the foundation for a life-long love of percussion, with his expertise and skill being shared between Junior School Bands, Middle School Rock Bands, Concert Bands, and Senior School Drumlines, Rock Bands, Concert Bands and Symphony Orchestras. At the 2019 Foundation Concert, Brad and two advanced drum students wowed our audience with a Drum Fanfare accompanied by strobe lighting and a video presentation that eventually revealed the College crest. The VET program developed enormously with the addition of Brad to the staffing. His considerable experience in the professional world was ready for each and every VET student. The energy was carried into the Year 8 Elective Program with Almost Famous, where he mentored and provided invaluable advice to our Year 8 students regarding writing original songs and producing music videos. The results were outstanding. Brad and his family have relocated to Queensland, and we are so happy for them all as they start this new chapter in their life. Thank you for the music!

Farewells Shannon Ebeling Head of Woodwind Shannon came to the College in 2017 as the Head of Woodwind and quickly established himself as an educator of distinction. He taught music at Senior School and in the Middle School, rejuvenating the curriculum at Year 8, leading the Clarinets in the Year 7 Instrument Discovery Program, teaching saxophone and oboe, and directing the Senior and Middle Schools' Concert Bands. In the classroom, Shannon displayed his genuine concern for each student combined with a passion for his subject and an ability to inspire and enthuse. One colleague summed it up recently when she said "I count observing a lesson taught by Shannon as a quality Professional Development session". As Head of Woodwind, Shannon provided concerts for the woodwind students, as well as supporting the various woodwind teachers and wind ensembles. Of note is Shannon's direction of the two Concert Bands. Under his baton, these ensembles reached new heights of range of expression, diversity of repertoire and quality of performance. In addition, Shannon is an outstanding musician who has performed with some of Australia's leading ensembles including the Australian Classical Players and the Melbourne Royal Philharmonic. Shannon has also written the VCE syllabus for saxophone, regularly assesses VCE performance, and has presented at conferences on studying VCE Music. We wish Shannon all the best. Melinda Bell

Karen Fyffe Music Teacher Karen Fyffe joined the College Music staff in 2003 with a wealth of experience of music education in a wide range of roles and settings. She was, at various times, a Choral and Music Department Director, classroom music teacher and instrumental music specialist on flute and piano. These experiences were utilised firstly at the Middle School where she was actively involved in the broad musical life of the school; music teaching, organising concerts both internally and externally, playing and tutoring in the Concert Band and directing Choirs. Karen brought a creative sparkle to her classes and was known for her calm yet inspiring lessons. For many years, she also utilised her organisational skills as the Middle School, and then later, the Junior School Performance coordinator. She approached these positions with efficiency and a certain touch of class; Music Evenings and Foundation Concerts ran smoothly and to a high standard. Karen's choirs were known for their beautiful tone, poise, and effective choreography as they performed a broad repertoire from traditional pieces through to world music and contemporary numbers. In 2010 Karen headed down to the Junior School to weave her musical magic on the younger students at the school and coordinate the Music program from Foundation to Year 3. In 2014 Karen returned to the Middle School to teach flute, coordinate the Year 7 class Music program and mentor at the Year 7 level. In all her various roles within the school, Karen cultivated a strong rapport with students and staff alike. Melinda Bell

Farewells Ceridwyn Gordon Music Teacher Ceridwyn will be fondly remembered at Junior School for the enthusiasm, colour and laughter she brought to each day. Ceridwyn taught Early Learning to Year 1 Music classes at Junior School for 4 years. Her passion was teaching the younger children, working alongside classroom teachers incorporating music into the daily programs and learning projects. Her classes were always a joy in which to participate, filled with ukulele, flute, percussion, dancing and puppets. During her time at The Geelong College, she also taught Junior School choirs and prepared ensembles for performances at assemblies, the Geelong Music and Movement Festival and the Foundation Concert. Her participation in the annual Early Learning end of year concerts was memorable, ensuring that all children could participate in music and movement at a level with which they were comfortable. Special events such as Ngarrweerreeng Day during National Reconciliation Week were enhanced by Ceridwyn's musical input and commitment to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture into the Music program. She also participated in the Fulfilling Lives program to Central Australia where her previous experience in working in the outback and musical background was much appreciated. Ceridwyn's generous nature resulted in many warm friendships during her time at the school. Ros Molyneux

Tanya Motiani Early Learning Assistant Tanya Motiani finished up at the College in 2020 after 11 years working in Early Learning. As a valued member of the Teaching Assistants team, Tanya worked across both the EL3 and EL4 programs, developing warm caring relationships with all the children in her care, and her creativity and sense of humour were valued additions to the program. Her excellent organisational skills were highly valued in the EL environment. Every store cupboard, library shelf and equipment list were coordinated by Tanya, and her beautiful presentation and attention to detail have left a lasting legacy. During her time at College Tanya completed additional training, gaining her qualification in Guiding and Teaching Meditation. Tanya's passion for teaching mindfulness was appreciated throughout Junior School, and many special occasions were enhanced by the addition of mindfulness practice. These included assemblies, Bush Kinder and regular mindfulness classes throughout Junior School. We wish Tanya all the best for her future in following her passion for teaching meditation and mindfulness. Ros Molyneux

Carolyn Ogston Junior School Teacher Carolyn has been a member of The Geelong College community for 11 years. During this period Carolyn has been a dedicated and compassionate classroom teacher, loved and adored by her many students. Carolyn has a passion for education, which is transcribed through the variety of experiences and projects she has been part of at Campbell House. Her commitment to the development of the Reggio Emilia approach to education in our Primary years has been significant, with Carolyn taking part in two study tours to Reggio Emilia throughout her career.

Catherine Thornton School Psychologist Catherine Thornton began her role as School Psychologist at The Geelong College in 2007. Cathie achieved much in her time, including establishing and developing the current Student Care and E-Care service and the Employment Assistance Program in addition to developing numerous social and emotional workshops for students and staff. She also developed various school procedures for mental health support. Cathie provided psychological assessments and counselling across all three schools and provided ongoing care and support for students and their families. During her time at the school, Cathie also managed to co-publish a book and provided professional supervision to psychology students; assisting them to obtain their registration. Cathie has been a great support to her colleagues, providing not only counselling as required, but also a listening ear to those who just wanted to chat. One was always guaranteed an intelligent, witty, mischievous, and generously warm conversation, when it was most needed. I know of many staff who will miss her thoughtful gifts ofa home cooked meal or a jar of chutney or honey. She was always making or doing something! Cathie will be greatly missed but we wish her well and know she is excited to move onto the next chapter of her life, in private practice. Kate Sculley

Farewells Liz Smith Head ofShannon House, Head ofMathematics After twenty-one years of service, it is with great sadness that we farewell Liz Smith from The Geelong College. Liz commenced her career as a Mathematics Teacher at The Gee long College in January 2000. Liz is an excellent mathematics teacher and was sought after by many students who requested her to teach them. She has exceptional organisational skills and was a generous and reassuring presence in the classroom. Liz formed strong and positive relationships with her colleagues and students alike. In her Maths classes Liz was the 'Queen of Worksheets'; she had bulging folders containing worksheets for every topic imaginable. She provided structure for student learning and regular and comprehensive feedback to allow for the development of skills. She was renowned for her beautiful summary notes. Students knew that if she took the time to write something up on the board in her fantastic handwriting they had better sit up straight and copy it into their Summary Books word for word, symbol for symbol. During this time, Liz became Head of McArthur House and provided students and families with a cohesive and friendly space in which to grow and develop. She encouraged, organised and supported students new to the school and nurtured the scholastic and pastoral needs of all students in her care. Liz had high expectations for her House and through her encouragement took McArthur House to great success. Following McArthur House, Liz took over the leadership of Shannon House with similar results winning the Cronk Cup in 2018. She continued teaching the highest level of Mathematics while managing Shannon House, and later on, leading the Mathematics department through many changes in curriculum, technology and the COVID crisis. During this time, Liz was always calm and considered in her approach and always did the best by her students and colleagues. Outside the classroom, Liz spent many hours and early mornings at the pool coaching the APS Swimming Squad and was committed to the development of young people. Liz has an eye for beautiful style and design. We will miss her amazing outfits.jewellery, handbags and the many items purchased during her overseas travels. The school has benefited enormously from Liz's outstanding teaching and leadership. She will be sincerely missed. We thank her for her commitment to the school and wish her the very best as she embarks on the next chapter. We wish Liz every happiness and satisfaction for the future!

Greg Smith VCE Coordinator & Teacher Greg Smith commenced as a Mathematics teacher at the Geelong College in 1995, following the closure of Morongo Girls College. Throughout his time he excited and engaged all year levels in the study of Mathematics. Greg has a natural ability to communicate with young people and make them feel they can achieve success. He developed strong and positive relationships with all year levels and students enjoyed his sense of humour and quick wit. His endless 'Dad jokes' and puns, although cringeworthy, were delivered with such genuine joy no one could resist laughing. In 2005, Greg took over the role ofVCE Coordinator and in this role, he performed admirably, analysing VCE data and developing mathematical models that predicted future performance. Greg's great love of data analysis was evident in all that he did, and his organised and thorough approach was appreciated by staff and students. VCE teachers loved Greg's comprehensive analysis of results that he produced following the Year 12 exams. He made language associated with statistical analysis, the ATAR and study scores understandable for parents, students, and staff alike. Greg's presentations were always dispensed with clear, evidence-based facts. Outside the classroom, Greg's sporting talent was showcased in his coaching of various hockey teams. In this role, he supported and encouraged students in their quest for improvement, no matter what their ability level. Greg is a kind and warm colleague who enjoyed a chat and had great knowledge and understanding of world events. He is a keen golfer and enjoys travel. We thank Greg for his commitment, dedication, and attention to detail. He will be extremely missed and we know we have lost a highly competent and expert mathematician, teacher, tutor and colleague. We wish Greg every happiness and success with his future plans. It has been a privilege for many to work with you. Kirsten Van Cleef & Kevin Flanagan

Trish Timmins Music Teacher Trish Timmins is an outstanding musician and string educator, and this was apparent from the moment she taught her first class at the College. Her lively, engaging manner and positive vibes were an inspiration to our students and the entire community. As a teacher across all three campuses, Trish developed our String Program and enjoyed watching the improvement of our students in every lesson. Our students appreciated and valued their learning and the opportunities to engage with music through string instruments. The Year 3, Year 7, and Year 8 IDP programs benefitted from her expertise and mentoring, and the Senior School classes submerged themselves into the finer delights of Baroque and Classical pieces during classroom ensembles. Trish's direction of the Balyang Orchestra, MS Symphony, and both the Middle and Senior School String Orchestras was outstanding, as she expected and encouraged accountability and commitment at a high level, whilst providing fun and enthusiasm for beginners through to advanced players. Trish brought great energy and skill to her mentoring role in the Middle School and brought great energy to both IMT lessons and classroom lessons. She enhanced the entire staff team both in and out of music. We wish Trish every success. Thank you for the music! Dr Phillip Bohun

Dave Van Elst Music Teacher Dave is a man of many talents. His breadth of knowledge and generosity of spirit make him a unique character. He is strong, he is kind, and he loved his students and his work colleagues. He never shied from the hard work and would help wherever it was needed, from extra sound checks, backstage at Foundation Concerts, sourcing material for students or adding his professional guidance; his advice and help were endless. Dave's work on the Music VET program was exceptional. He always managed to create magic with his students, filling them with confidence and self-belief that always brought the best out in them. His place at The Geelong College will be remembered with great fondness and in years to come with many an ex-student commenting on their earliest influence and inspiration being one Dave Van Elst. In his 27 years with the College Dave has influenced so many aspiring young musicians. With his knowledge of the industry and the high standards expected to reach success, he supported the students to achieve their goals. His professionalism on stage has demonstrated to his students the level you need to reach to be considered one of the state's best performers. His love for his work and care for the students and his colleagues will not be forgotten. Dr Phillip Bohun

Farewells AgnesTymms Agnes joined the College in 2010, bringing with her a vast experience of teaching French gathered in New York, Canberra and Queensland. Our good fortune was that she was also well-versed in how to teach in immersion using only the target language in the classroom. As a colleague, she had the highest of standards and was very supportive of those around her. Professional, extremely organised, and conscientious, Agnes was always ready to do whatever needed to be done and beyond. And we all knew it would be done perfectly. Similarly, the care and commitment she gave her students was second to none. Apart from teaching, she most capably led three trips to France, giving students an incredible journey which she crafted herself to ensure it would be a first-rate experience. As for her Tutorial groups in Wettenhall, they were often treated to cakes when birthdays came around. Among her many other achievements, Agnes looked after teams of girls' badminton for many years and taught Year 8 and Year 6 classes at Middle School -typically, Agnes would step up whenever help was needed. With Agnes' departure, the College is losing an amazing, generous and experienced teacher and we are losing a much appreciated, dedicated colleague. She will be greatly missed, but we wish her all the very best in her retirement. Veronique Chabant

Alice Claringbold Graduating from The Geelong College in 2001, Alice travelled Australia wide as a dance, drama, and primary classroom teacher. Knowing Alice, the latter would most certainly have incorporated plenty of the former! She arrived back in Geelong in 2013 then to the drama spaces and dance studios of The Gee long College at the start of 2017, teaching Drama from Prep to Year 11, before settling at the Middle School and taking up the Coodinating role (F-8) from the start of 2021. Alice is colour, charm and charisma. When Alice is in a room, you know it. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Alice as a co-mentor as well as a colleague on staff here at the Middle School and what shines is her love and passion for the job and her incredibly sincere concern for the welfare of the students. There's a delightful sense of anticipation when Alice is in charge. Alice was always on the lookout for the students. Her concern for their welfare and well-being so evident in all her dealings with them. Perhaps Alice will be best remembered for the drama productions she was involved in; as Assistant Director for the 2017 Senior School Production of Alice in Wonderland then as Director of the trio of stunning Middle School Year 8 Productions, The Little Mermaid (2018), Seussical the Musical (2019) and Peter Pan (2021). Sadly, the COVID situation put a halt to proceedings in 2020. These extraordinary performances combined colour, creativity and talent. Alice's casting was superb, allowing each student to contribute their utmost to make the whole an engaging and memorable experience for both actors and audience alike. I couldn't have penned it better than Deb Hynes, when asked to reflect on Alice ... ''A wonderful hurricane of creativity, passion, empathy and dedication and love for all things dramatic and more importantly for her students. Always keen to learn more and hone her skills and hungry for collaboration and sharing. A fabulous Drama teacher who always wants to expose her students to a world of opportunities without ever assuming or pigeonholing students. A beautiful person with a great heart, a genuine care for those around her and a love for life that is infectious." Thank you, Alice, for your enormous contribution to our school and best wishes for new adventures ahead. Michael Panckridge

Farewells Andrea McGucken Andrea commenced at TGC in 2011 as a Senior School Teacher Librarian. In 2012 she became the inaugural Head of library and Information Services, taking on the newly created role to unite, manage and lead all three College libraries. Over the past ten years, Andrea's leadership has ensured that our libraries are a vibrant, integral part of the College's wider learning program. Andrea has managed the libraries during times of great change. Through various initiatives she has fostered a whole school reading culture, led curriculum development to address changes in information literacy needs, and ensured our libraries are welcoming places that cater for all. Our libraries now cater for much wider clientele, with parents and staff adding to our active borrowers from ELC to Year 12 and our spaces being used for various activities such as craft, book clubs, Minecraft lunch sessions and Chess tournaments. She has also managed the refurbishment of each of the libraries and assisted with the relocation of the Campbell House Library to various different spaces in response to the Junior School redevelopment. Her ICT leadership has resulted in increased use of various platforms and databases and the development of dynamic !CT-enhanced learning and inquiry-based programs. Her encouragement of reading through new book promotions to staff and students, entries in the weekly bulletin, special days like Library Lovers, author talks and even dressing up for Book Week parades at Junior School has resulted in many discovering a love of reading. Beyond the library, Andrea has been widely involved in supporting and facilitating the broad range of opportunities that are on offer at the College. She has taught Year 10 Science, Year 7 Learning to Learn and started the Senior School student led newspaper - Quid Novi. She has also enhanced and led the Science program for Year 9 City Week and was involved with multiple Year 10 Fulfilling Lives programs at Indigenous schools in Central Australia. Andrea enjoyed travelling with the students and observing their personal growth during these programs. She was also a caring Morrison Tutor and a Year 7/8 Mentor. She made an excellent contribution to APS sport as the Teacher in Charge of Softball and more recently assisting with the Diving program. As Andrea has worked across all three campuses, combined with her outstanding capacity to listen and problem solve, she has often been a wonderful support to many staff members. Her sincere and caring nature, together with her capacity to get things done without fuss, has been appreciated by all. She is compassionate, understanding and generous with her time - always happy to go the extra mile in helping both staff and students. Andrea's commitment and contribution to the College has been exceptional and she will be greatly missed by all. Her diligence and professionalism have been outstanding. As Andrea and her husband Matthew return to their home state of Queensland, she has our very best wishes, thanks and appreciation. Heather Green & Debbie Filling

Cassie Aitken Cassie joined us in 2014 in the capacity of an English and Humanities teacher for close to three years, and in her time at College she became involved in teaching a Year 8 dance elective and in the Year 8 Production. This is testament to her willingness to say yes, to go the extra mile, to work with various teams and ultimately to bring such richness into the lives of the students she taught. Cassie was tireless in the thinking she invested in her lessons and the units we designed as a team, always striving to do, reflect and then do better. She developed a genuine and warm rapport with her classes which was an integral part of the opportunities for success she gave students in her care. As a colleague, Cassie was always a team player; honest, funny, and ready to work hard to bring together diverse learning experiences for our students. In all of that, she also taught her colleagues new ways of thinking about the delivery of content, striving to be current and engaging in her approach. While we had our fingers crossed that Cassie would come back to join us, life gets very full with three young children, so we wish her well as she and Matt raise their family. We know that wherever Cassie lands in her teaching career, the staff and students alike will be so fortunate. Kristina Zeravica

Farewells Athol-Mary Mahoney It is always difficult to write farewells for long standing and well-loved staff members. Athol-Mary was appointed to the English Department midway through 1990 by Tim Parkes. Her previous position at Peninsula Grammar was as an English teacher at one of only 30 pilot schools for the newly introduced Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). In a short time, Athol-Mary also became a member of the History faculty. This was before laptops became a staple of classroom practice. Indeed, considering the recent Coronavirus lockdowns, both have become crucial tools for remote learning and AtholMary, in an unpretentious way, has always simply adapted her teaching to incorporate any and all such technologies and changes to best meet the needs of the students in her classes. Athol-Mary was appointed by John Gilson in 1992 to work with the debating teams - despite her own concerns about never having been a debater herself. Within three years she was Teacher in Charge of the program with great results and a significant number of College students awarded "Swannie State Best Speakers" by the DAV during her 23 years as TIC. Likewise, she has taught almost incalculable Years 9 -12 students in English and History classes including Revolutions, Australian History, 20th Century History, Renaissance and US history. She has worked with 10 Heads of Departments over thirty-one years. She has thrice been Acting Head of History. At all times, her teaching has been driven by a love of her subjects and a genuine interest in the young people she taught. She genuinely loves the class discussions, research and questioning engendered by both subject areas. Within a pastoral setting, Athol-Mary was Head of McLean House from 1998-2005, and other than four years with Keith, has been a tutor in McLean for 16 years. Her involvement with McLean has always been a highlight of her time at the College. The relationships built within this pastoral setting as either Head of House or tutor are significant, and many Old Collegians will have fond memories of her time in these positions. Athol-Mary was a key member for over a decade of the English and History in the City Week programs and was also involved in the Year 10 Politics Program on several occasions. In 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019, Athol-Mary helped lead The Geelong College History Tours to Italy, Greece, Russia and France. Her historical knowledge, practicality and travel experience were valued in this role. In Department meetings, she has always been counted on for that crucial positive outlook and her measured appraisal of options and course directions. Athol-Mary's commitment to so many teams, panels and responsibilities that she has taken on over the years have been valuable to both the History and English departments. Athol-Mary, we will miss all these things and so much more. You have provided exemplary education, dedication, and loyal service to so many over the years. Greg Naylor

Nick Eley Nickjoined our Campbell House community in 2019 from Middle School. He quickly displayed his skills and passion for the environment and computer technologies; leading year level projects such as the exploration ofGeoglyphs, while teaching Year 1 in 2019 and again in 2021 while teaching Year 2. Nick displayed his flexibility as an educator, working across all levels at Junior School, apart from Foundation. Nick's finest attribute is the connections he builds with his students, taking time to truly get to know them and explore their interests. Nick led our Minerva House Connections Team with pride, often wearing his Minerva Warrior hat with gusto, bringing great excitement to our House Connection days. Nick leaves The Geelong College to further support his wife Pat, as she returns to work full time after having their beautiful children Florence and Willow. We wish Nick and his family all the best for their future endeavours. Rory McElligott

Farewells Bridget Collier From the very beginning of her appointment in 2007 as Science Laboratory Technician, Bridget demonstrated her outstanding technical and organisational skills and her capacity for support for all staff members. Science teachers were always confident that equipment for every contingency would be readily available and Bridget's ability to repair, construct, store and catalogue were legendary. Bridget's conception for a new workspace was founded on practical application and functional attributes and will be appreciated by many who work in the Science department. Technical support for Year level activities saw Bridget take a strong and purposeful role. Boats Unit would not have proceeded seamlessly without her detailed planning and organisation of equipment and many boats would have not been able to compete without Bridget's expertise, as would construction of planes from corflute and rubber bands. Solar car and boat competitions also valued the technical support that was always so generously provided. Bridget was also a qualified Science teacher; her expertise was invaluable during the implementation of the Primary Connections Science program. Her capacity to provide support when designing innovative curriculum units, in-servicing of staff and ability to resource lessons ensured the success of many projects, both functionally and visually. Her skills were also transferred to providing expertise for the construction of props for the Year 8 Productions. A strong sense of environmental protection and awareness was always apparent in any project undertaken by Bridget as she encouraged our recycling behaviours and increased our sense of accountability. Bridget's quiet, but significant contribution has not gone unnoticed. Her knowledge and creativity will be greatly missed, and we wish her well as she leaves the role and takes on new challenges.

Emma Watters Fresh out of the Kimberley, Emma joined the Campbell House community at The Geelong College in 2015. As a passionate teacher of Preparatory class in her first three years at Junior School, she mastered the ukulele with her class, was instrumental in the introduction ofiPads and even joined the College Community Choir. In 2018, Emma was a part of the Year 3 Team and developed her teaching in the open plan environment. She worked with the Year 3 Choir, began the inaugural Junior School Dance Group, and co-directed the Wakakiri Story Dance Competition. In 2019, Emma was awarded the Foundation Fellowship and travelled to Reggio Emilia, Italy, to gain a greater understanding of the Reggio Emilia approach. As a true educator, on her return, Emma presented to teachers throughout the state, sharing the Reggio approach. She also presented at Bialik College's annual conference on Cultures of Thinking. Emma crossed the oval in 2020 to join the Middle School community as the Year 4-6 Curriculum Coordinator and teacher of Year 5. In 2021, Emma was appointed to the position of Middle School Leader of Learning. She worked tirelessly to lead the ongoing improvement of teaching and learning within the Middle School, was a Year 7 Learning Mentor, member of the Production team, and taught Year 4-8 Drama and Dance. Emma is one of very few teachers who is just as confident in front of a Foundation class, as working alongside Year 8 Drama students, and all year levels in between. Emma has been a friend and support to many on staff. Her commitment and dedication to The Geelong College is to be admired, so too her willingness to be involved in every facet of life within our school community. Emma, we wish you all the best in your next adventure of parenthood and Deputy Head of Junior School at Westbourne Grammar. You will be missed. Georgina Rolls

Farewells Edwina Davis Ed Davis began her teaching career at The Geelong College in 1989. Spanning three decades of immense educational and social change, Ed has made a huge impact on the lives of many students across the three school campuses. Ed began teaching in the Middle School, as one of the youngest staff members, negotiating the timetable, the rather maze-like buildings and the students who were not much younger than she was. Ed's easy and friendly manner made her a popular and respected teacher and colleague. She was aware of the importance of establishing a positive and trusting relationship with students, staff, and parents alike. This ability to connect with people has been a longstanding feature of her interactions over the years and is testament to how much she will be missed by all in the College community. Ed's ability to teach in multiple settings has seen her take on a variety ofroles during her time at The Geelong College. Underpinning all roles has been a genuine interest in children and their learning and a desire for the best possible student outcomes. The needs of those in her care were always at the forefront of her teaching. She began in the PE department, remaining there for many years. Her skills in a range of sporting codes were well known and students benefitted greatly from her sporting knowledge. None more so than the netballers. A talented netballer herself, Ed coached many A-Grade teams to success both at Middle School and Senior School and was heavily involved in all aspects of the APS sporting calendar. Saturday mornings saw staff staggering bleary-eyed to the turnaround at Middle School, to jump on a bus headed for Melbourne to find Ed already there, coffee in hand, coordinating team departures. Such was her dedication and commitment to encouraging children to participate in competitive sport. Ed's time in a classroom at both Middle School and Campbell House, saw her working with a broad age-range of students. With a keen interest in Drama and the Arts, her classrooms were always places of energy. Ed worked hard to develop a community of learners, learners; who looked out for one another and were kind and caring. But it was Drama that held Ed's great interest. Her passion for theatre was evident. Children at both Middle School and Junior School embraced the opportunities offered to them to step out of themselves and create new personas. How many successful Year 12 Drama students began, when they were very young, in Ms. Davis' class? Ed's talent for encouraging Oscar-winning performances in even the most unpromising of young actors was something to behold. Many were the mute Marys and Josephs and recalcitrant camels sculpted year in and year out into angelic Nativity participants for the Campbell House Christmas Nativity. As a producer and director, however, Ed's greatest successes were without doubt the full-blown productions she managed to present to the school community, year after year! Not without their headaches, Ed took it all in her stride. The children's delight and pride in their performances were testament to how her talent and direction helped shape so many young lives in such positive ways. More recently, Ed's willingness to take on roles of responsibility saw her accept leadership roles in the school as Deputy Head of Junior School. She was an outstanding organiser, managing timetables, CRT fill-ins and supporting all staff with dedication and energy. Many will remember her support for each teacher, child, and parent. Such was her interest in supporting others that, with the help of her four-legged friend Frankie, Ed established Story Dog in the Junior School. Using Frankie to draw out reluctant readers, children were offered opportunities to practise their reading in a unique environment. We wish Ed all the very best for the future and thank her sincerely for the years she has given to The Geelong College. Jo Panckridge

Kylie Saunders Kylie has worked at The Gee long College for 13 years since April 2008. She has taught varied combinations of Years 9 to 12 English and English as an Additional Language for Years 11 and 12 students. Kylie has been a valuable asset to The Geelong College community. In the English department, Kylie's contributions were frequent, enthusiastic, and generous. A highly organised and innovative educator, she helped us transition to digital sharing and organising ideas and resources. She explored and implemented different approaches to teaching, always encouraging academic rigour. Her collaborative skills supported all teachers regardless of experience. Her strengths as a teacher are many. She encouraged students to find their voices, instigating enthusiastic discussion in class. She relished diversity and challenged them to extend their thinking and make real-world links between literature and their lives. She found teaching students an energising experience. Her caring and empathetic nature saw her develop strong relationships with her students, and she was always a willing listener. She was a kind-hearted supporter of many students who were living far from home. Kylie enjoyed pastoral care roles in three Houses: Keith, McLean and McArthur, where she acted as a tutor, mentoring many young people. Her holistic approach to education was evident when she shared her skills as a yoga instructor and offered yoga and mindfulness sessions to help students manage the challenges of school life. Kylie's cocurricular contribution saw her assisting the tennis program by managing a team. She enjoyed the warm sunshine and the chance to spend time conversing with the students outside of the classroom. We wish Kylie the very best for her future. She will continue to love living on her acreage property, enjoying surfing and yoga, raising chickens, growing organic fruit and vegetables and medicinal herbs, concocting herbal remedies and supporting her local community of like-minded spirits. She will embrace her love of travel and keep on exploring our natural world in her vans and vintage Land Rovers as she enjoys the oceans and wilderness. We thank you, Kylie, for your years of generous service to our community. We will miss you. Melissa Barnes & Athol-Mary Mahoney

Selmo Carriera Selmo Carriera moved to Australia in 2013 and quickly made his mark on the Geelong music scene. In 2015, Selmo joined the Music Department at The Gee long College as an accompanist and piano teacher. His piano skills were utilised for many of the choirs and string groups and musically he was a great support to conductors with his calm approach to rehearsals and concerts. As an instrumental teacher, we have appreciated the caring and thorough way Selmo approaches his piano teaching. Never one to compromise on standards, Selmo had a way of appealing to students' interests whilst always encouraging them to achieve at the highest possible standard. In 2019, Selmo took on the role of school accompanist, accompanying students for their exams, and at music evenings, Chapel services and Assemblies. He also conducted the String and Symphony Orchestras at various times. The Music Department will greatly miss Selmo's involvement and musicality from all these endeavours. Selmo is one who really understands the value of quality music and the impact this can have on students. This passion for providing deep musical experiences is what makes him such an inspiring teacher. We wish Selmo and his family safe travels as they return to Portugal. Melinda Bell

Farewells Margaret Oates Margaret has spent a majority of her 28 years at the College in the Middle School. As teacher of Science and Mathematics, she enjoys the challenges that dealing with early adolescence can bring, while at the same time embedding key skills and understandings in our young people, as they prepare for the senior years of schooling. Margaret is a passionate pastoral carer, who sees her role as homeroom teacher, Learning Mentor, and in 1995 to 2000 Year 7 Level Coordinator, as an integral part of her responsibility as an educator. This is also evident in her 18-plus years as the Head of Minerva House, held until 2019. Margaret relishes the opportunity to work with students from Year 4 to Year 8 beyond the classroom, as it enhances relationships with them and allows her to be a part of their social and emotional development through the sometime turbulent adolescent years. Margaret has taught Year 7 and 8 Science, Mathematics, Health Education and SOSE in her time at Middle School. In 1999 Margaret jumped at the opportunity to take on the position of teacher of senior Biology at the Senior School and spent five terms there. This gave her the chance to regain touch with her subject speciality, as she came to us with vast experience of teaching Biology at senior levels in state high schools and TAFE. This experience included being a VCE assessor during the 1990s. Margaret also spent two years as the Coordinator of Mathematics for 2001 and 2002. Margaret has been a part of the Year 5, 7 and 8 camps programs, and was coordinator of the Year 7 camp for six years. Her other co-curricular contributions to the College include the coaching of hockey (12 years), softball (2 years) and tennis (2 years). Margaret was also the manager for the Middle School Swimming team. She enjoyed being a part of the Year 5 and 6 sport program where getting to know the younger students is her focus, as it complements her Head of House role, and allows her to develop relationships with the younger students prior to them moving into her classes in Year 7 and 8. Margaret has been an integral part of the Senior School Fulfilling Lives program, with six trips that include Yipirinya (Alice Springs), Yulara (Uluru), Vietnam, Borneo and the top end location ofMinyeri. With a strong interest in staff wellbeing, Margaret was an active member of what was the Staff Welfare Committee. She has been an advocate for colleagues on numerous occasions across a broad range of issues and has acted as the Middle School staff rep on the WHS committee for a number of years. To this day, Margaret is often called upon to mentor new staff to the Middle School. Margaret has strongly contributed to the Middle School, through her work as Head of House and in the ongoing development and teaching of Science and Maths curriculum. She is most proud of her work as Head of House as it had allowed her to develop a culture of belonging and community within Minerva. We thank Margaret for all of her contributions; she has often been the voice of the people, and a voice ofreason. Leanne Russell

Vicky Henderson Vicky Henderson has been a member of The Geelong College Community for over 25 years. Throughout this period Vicky has worked as a Teacher Assistant in classrooms and more recently as front of house in Reception at Campbell House. Vicky is much loved by the entire community and has enjoyed observing how some former students have now returned as parents at Campbell House. Vicky is a passionate about our Geelong College community. The children come first and foremost. We often observed the children presenting to sick bay with a tiny scratch just so they could spend time with Ms Henderson. Vicky, to our staff was always kind and caring, remembering birthdays and bringing in beautiful home-made cakes, many different handicrafts, and floral arrangements. No special occasion at Campbell House was complete unless it contained foliage, impeccably arranged from Vicky's garden. This link to the natural environment and our Reggio Emilia approach to education here at Campbell House was synonymous for Vicky. Vicky 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. While Vicky will be deeply missed by all at Campbell House, we are also very excited for her and the new opportunities which lie ahead. Sondra Wood
