Below are som e exampl es of the ty pes of issues tha t arise: • Ado lescent issues of indep enden ce and identity • Family rela tionship changes • Dealing with grief as a result of a recent d eath • Learning p roblems and problems of applica tion to sch oolwork • Values clarification . 2 Support to individuals or groups who are directly w orking w ith s tud ents and p arents. This area involves 'consulting' w ith Parents, Year level Coordina tors, Heads of H ouse, H o use Tutors H om e Room Teach ers and Classroom Teachers. The con s ulta tions gen erally occu r on an informal basis and can be v ia the ph one. Parents in p articular have found this m akes m e readily

accessible to th em. The con versa ti ons have centred on specific s tudent difficul ties and may foc us on one or more students. For example: • Classroom behaviour • Motivation • Bullying, Aggressiveness or Sh yness • Curriculum ad aptation required to m eet sp ecific needs. 3 Support to the Community and School. This is achieved by providing consulta tion to the insti tution or adminis tration. Gen erally this focus of the role involves the discu ssion and d evelopm ent of p olicies and programs. Some e amples of this asp ec t are: • Liaison with; H eads of House, Year Level Coordinators, Princip al, H ead of Prep. and Senior Sch ool, H eads of

D epartment, Director of Curriculum. • Reports t%r membership of various committees; the Senior Administration Team, Counter Disaster Committee, Ethics Committee, Personal D evelopment Steering Committee. • Provision of information to various groups within the school; parent evenings, student presentations and articles for school publications. The School Counsellor' s role while new is one that fits easily into the excellent pastoral care processes that have been central to the College for a number of years. It has been particularly pleasing for me to have been so warmly welcomed and for students, parents and teachers to have felt comfortable about coming to see me.

Every Co uncil m ee ting over th ose 15 years was always conducted wi th firmn s a nd formality but always en co uraging full discussion giving veryon e am ple opportunity to put fo rward their view. ever a t any time did h e sh ow any sign of frustra tion or annoyance w hen deba te becam e repe ti tio u or dragged on unnecessaril y. D sp ite a ll ow ing free discu ssion me tin gs n arly al ways finished on tim e w ith agenda bein g co mple ted. In a ll of th o fifteen ears T can onl r cali on occasion w here there was the nece ity to all for a vo t . Mee ting w r a lways tightly run. Jo k Lavend er who a o u a ll remember was a former m mb r of o un iI, i a n ap ol for to nig ht. In Apr ing hi r eret for non a lt nda n he made o me a tute a nd l Ilin I' mark a bout Garnet' ha irma n hip, le t me quo t fro m hi I II r," I hav a t in me n I m clin gs bUl no ne hav b n ha ired wilh the g ra i u ' n (irmn 'ss a nd good hum ur lha l

Ca m et so consistently displayed. All of us who have ser ved on the Co un cil will rem ember his enco uragement, his clar ity of tho ught an d his enthusiasm in all ma tters relatin g to the welfare of the Coll ege." r know yo u will all agree tha t Jock's observations were tru e in every way. The affairs of Council took up only a p ortion of his time in being Ch airman of The Geelong College. Garnet a tten ded all Committee meetings either as a floor member or as a Committee Chairman, always displaying his keen a ttention to de tail and always being well prepared for the matters to be discussed. In matters of expenditure he was ever mindful and showed unfailing concern for the sacrifices being made by parents, this often became the deciding fac tor whether to undertake the project now or defer for twel e months. Finance meetings were al\ ays followed b the Planning Committee \·vhich he so ably chaired. It \ as at the e m eetings tha t future buildings and imp rovements together ,vith associa ted land ca ping ,",,'ere de eloped. One can look back over h is ear as Chairman to ee the re ul t of thi all important planning with uch e 'ample as the oble Stree t cla srooms, the m agnificent Art Centre at the Prep chool, the refurbi hment of Mackie Hou , the n w Boatshed down on th Barwon, and the gigantic t p in the tran formation of the for m er H ou e of u ic into the hap I \ hich now form uch an important r I in th life of the ho 1, no t onl f r the pre ent tud nt but £ r th e who have been pupil in the pa t. It ha n t

only been bricks and mortar for buildings. Any list should include such things as the existence of landscaping and tree planting the Prep, the Mackie Gardens and more recently Helicon Place with that inspiring sculpture of the Pegasus. Without the generous support and benefaction of the College community many of these works would not have been possible. During Garnet's stewardship his sympathetic concern for the devastated community of the former Morongo resulted in his efforts to accommodate and provide for a continuing caring education for those displaced former students. I know there are many things left unsaid about his time as Chairman but perhaps one aspect 'will always stand out - his reports and addresse to the School community on so many occasions, particularly Speech days. 0 one who has ever attended can fail to be irnpre sed at hi flav,rles pre entation and careful choice of word. I doubt if in the eventeen year of Garnet' time on Council including fifteen year as the ixth Chairman of the School whether any of hi predece or were faced with the hea\ _' re ponsibility in the appointment of two Principal. It h uld be noted that in all that time he mi ed only two Council meetin o and on b th occa ions he \\'a ver ea . 1 at many may appreciate the incredibl demand on Garnet. Over the la t 1- year de pite many r p n ibilitie and pers nal traCT dy he till put the int re t £ th lieD' at the forefront.

In ~'ar 10 s lud ents are introdu c d to lh s tud yo f r li g ion as a n lem nt of various oci ti sboth in Australia and around th e world. Theyexplor questions of faith, death, life, creation through a number of religions. They also stud y the place of religion wi thin these societi es, with sp ecial emphasis placed on Australia . They question th eir own values in respect of these issues in an effor t to come to some unders tanding of why people follow religions and find comfort in the m. In addition, orne studen ts wish to further their involvement in Christian pursuits within the

school. Logos is a Coll ege hristia n g rou p which meets inform all y every two weeks and which hold s a weekly prayer servi ce in th e chapel. The m embers, led by th e energetic Mr Dav id C urn ow, also enjoy a numb r of socia l ac ti vities together as well . Such activities hav includ d overnight trips to Lom e and Dans Marsh, surfing trips and horseriding. The society provides an opportunity for stud ents to express and debate their beliefs and share some good times. Through the chapel, the classroom and groups like Logos, students are constantly being exposed to ideas which deal with ethical and moral concerns. Some will argue that so much of our lives is open to public scrutiny and accountability that it is becoming increasingly important that our ethics in our personal and professional lives are beyond reproach. To this end, ethics as a subject for study and a blueprint for our behaviour is an important part of what we do at the College. Over the past year we have had the opportunity to hear a number of speakers in this field - Peter Vardey (Philosopher, wri ter and e thicist); Tim Costello (preacher,

lawyer and social commentator) to name but two . At the moment a group of staff is working on a comrni ttee to examine the ethics of The Geelong College in an attempt to produce a document of ethical guidelines. This project is being chaired by the principal and involves staff from both campuses of the school. Pastoral care takes many forms. Certainly one of them is the care of the spirit. Hopefully, through the ways mentioned above, students can explore their own spirituality and find a comfort in the discovery of mutual respect, an understanding of empathy, a genuine selfless sympathy for others whom we may regard as being in need and the confidence and commitment to actively participate in thoughtful olutions to the problems we recognise around us.

As we look to appoint our next convenor we would like to thank every parent who has helped build up the shop to the excellent facility it is today. We salute the generous nature of their work - collecting, sorting, drycleaning or washing, pricing, selling and most valuable of all, providing a listening ear about concerns they may have or stories to share.

We were fortunate to have Stewart Bell as Master-of-Cerernonie for the evening and what an accomplished performer he once again proved himself to be. What was particularly pleasing to see was the strong turnout from many of the year group who had had little to do with the ColJege since leaving in 76 and seeing the obvious enjoyment they had on the night. This list included Jim Hermiston, AJan ishart, Dave Osbourne, Virginia Thompson, Mick Laidlaw, Snoopy Douglas, the legendary John Macleod and the list goes on and on! In many respects, it was a step back in time with everyone J.
