FROM THE P R I N C I P A L : THE GEELONG COLLEGE A S E N S E OF COMMUNITY

as well as our active commitment to boarding. It is fostered through a House of Guilds that has opened its doors to the community almost every day during term since 1935. And it has more recently been fostered through the College Challenge which, each year, brings 60 local primary students into the Preparatory School for a weekend of stimulation and fun.

One of the most important tasks of any school Principal is to define the core values embodied in his or her school. What it stands for and what best describes its essence and ethos. This was one of the challenges I took on in the first year of my Principalship at the College. And, while no institution offers its spirit immediately to the newcomer, little by little, College culture started defining itself in my mind.

A sense of community is also generated by the presence of members of staff who have formed an almost life-long attachment to the College. This year, we farewelled two such teachers: Bruce McLeod (27 years), Michael Keary (35 years), and we made a more lasting farewell to two of our greatest College staff: Bert Keith (42 years) and Ian Watson (32 years).

To me, the College is a school that exudes tradition without doing so oppressively. Unlike many other schools of a similar age, it seems to combine a freshness of manner with the strength of its past, a responsiveness to change with a continuing firmness of purpose. This pleasing complementarity is symbolised in the two recently commissioned statues adorning the Senior School grounds, one set in bronze (Pegasus) confirming tradition and shared past values, the other (Sic Itur) carved in a stylised form in marble and bluestone, reflecting our newer co-educational identity. Both were donated by members of our generous community of Old Collegians and their families.

A further sense of community flows naturally from being part of a provincial city, a locally defined entity, that of Geelong. This is indeed the Geelong College. It has been here for 135 years and its active contribution to the community will undoubtedly long endure. My own personal membership of various local boards - Deakin University, Marcus Oldham and the Geelong Performing Arts Centre - will further strengthen these links as I am led to serve the community from which we spring. Our students, too, are present within the community through the various College outreach activities (eg the 'meals on wheels' program in the Preparatory School) and we are eagerly awaiting the implementation of a structured Year 10 community service program to begin next year.

Which brings me to my main point: The Geelong College is, above all a community school. But it is not a community school in the conventional sense of the term. Parents are not required to undertake a certain number of hours of work per year, for example, nor are they actively involved in determining our curriculum or policies. They are, however, present in both spirit and body, as interested, committed and supportive observer-participants. And they help generate an exceptional sense of community that is, I believe, the hallmark of this school. In the course of the past year, I have been struck by the warmth of the numerous dinners and welcomes which dot the College calendar. What I found particularly impressive is that these events have been organised and catered for by the parents themselves, who demonstrate their active commitment to others by rolling up their sleeves and labouring for a common goal. This sense of community is also quite naturally fostered through the inclusive, co-educational basis of the College where children of both sexes, often from within the same family, are welcomed into a single setting. It is fostered through our open non-selective enrolment policy

I started this report with a comment on the significance of statues. May I end by saying that a real feeling of belonging is also inscribed in the bricks and mortar of the College buildings, by the harmony of a style which perpetuates while it modernises. Thanks to the vision of a former Collegian and the College Architect for the past 30 years, Mr Neil Everist, a genuine sense of architectural integrity, unity and common purpose has been preserved in the College buildings, for our daily pleasure. The ethos of a school is never defined by a single word, in this case, community. However, I do believe that this particular word has a powerful core which serves to draw together many of the threads that make up the singularity of the College spirit. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at the College and look forward to continuing service to this wonderful community. DR PAULINE TURNER

Speech Day

FAREWELL TO GARNET FIELDING On 31 December 1996 Mr Garnet Fielding will retire as Chairman of the College Council ending a fifteen year period of extraordinary service to the College. Born at Rushworth, Victoria, into a family of lawyers, he was educated at Scotch College, Melbourne. In 1951, he was the winner of one of five Lord Gowrie Scholarships awarded throughout Australia to the sons of ex-servicemen. In his final year at Scotch he was a School Prefect and Dux of the School in British History, Modern History, and Greek and Roman History. He studied Law at the University of Melbourne, as a member of Ormond College. In 1957 he joined the long-established Geelong law firm of Whyte, Just & Moore and was admitted as a partner two years later. He was a partner for thirty six years, the last ten of which he was Senior Partner. He is a Senior Counsellor of the Law Institute of Victoria and a Notary Public. In 1977 the President of Italy conferred on him a Knighthood of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. In 1979 he was appointed to membership of the College Council and two years later was elected its sixth Chairman. Mr Fielding presided over a period of great strengthening of the College fabric, and thus a strengthening of the quality of its offering to our students. Significant developments included the building of the Rolland Centre Stage Two, the Preparatory School Science laboratory, the College Chapel, the new Robertson Hall and Music School, the Preparatory School Arts Centre, the new College Boat Shed, the reestablishment of the Helen Mackie Library, Davey House, the rerefurbishment of Mackie House, the establishment of the Early Learning Centre, the substantial upgrading of the Staff facilities at the Senior School, and the building of the Noble Street Academic Wing. Mr Fielding achieved the incorporation of the College as an autonomous corporate entity in 1982, and later was closely concerned with the establishment of the College Foundation of which he was the first paid-up member.

co-education, as distinct from co-enrolment, is inexorable. He has a great affection for the School, an excellent knowledge of its history and tradition, a warm regard for, and pride in, its people and a strong personal affinity with its ethos. He has had to deal with many difficult issues as Chairman and has been prepared to make hard decisions when he has considered that they were in the long-term interest of the College. Mr Fielding did big and small things very well. Whether it was working on a difficult strategy, giving a well presented address on Speech Day, writing a short note or checking and settling documents, everything had his mark. His example was one of measured quality. He gave his time to the wider field of education beyond the School. He was for many years a Trustee of the Combined Schools Superannuation Fund and represented the College in other educational forums. During his long period of Chairmanship Mr Fielding oversaw a whole generation of students progress from their very first schooldays to valediction. His contribution to the education of that and future generations of students of the College has been of undoubted significance. But it must be conceded that it was not all hard work. He enjoyed the challenge, he looked for and found humour whenever it was appropriate, and he made great friendships. He frequently acknowledged the support he received from the Council, in particular, from his ViceChairman and friend, Keith Doery. It is hard to imagine any organisation or body, school or otherwise, to have been better served by its Chairman than the College has been by Garnet Fielding over the last fifteen years. He honoured the Scottish tradition of devotion to the principle of fine education and the ideal of service in the interest of others. He was given a torch to carry when elected to the office of Chairman. It burns very brightly as he passes it to his successor. MR JOHN GILSON - Vice Principal MR MICHAEL DOWLING - Member of Council

He presided over the Council Seminar in 1985 which established the College Strategy Plan and in 1993 he planned and presided over the Strategy Review, a remarkable exercise in which Staff and Council members together examined many issues, culminating in a plenum at which major policies were formulated and settled. He has set in train the production of a history of the College. Mr Fielding managed Council business with great effectiveness and style. His adroitness and skill at Council meetings, of which he chaired some 80 (and in addition innumerable Committee meetings), will long be remembered. The Chairman of any significant organisation is required to demonstrate many desirable qualities. They include leadership, vision, wisdom, judgment, energy and commitment. Garnet Fielding possesses all of these and more. The Chairman plays a pivotal role in the selection of a Principal which, of all the many responsibilities of a Council, is regarded properly as its most fundamentally important. The Chairman must not only lead, but must also encourage, give opportunities and ensure a general participation in decision-making. The Chairman must closely support the Principal and ensure that those responsibilities which are delegated to the Principal, are not threatened. The Chairman must have a thorough understanding of the school and its constituencies. Mr Fielding has always demonstrated a love of learning and a belief in the value of a broad and liberal education. His commitment to

SCHOOL

CAPTAIN'S

ADDRESS

At the end of today, I will no longer be School Captain, and like that of all of Year 12, my time at the College, at least as a student will be over. This is a sad time but, as I reminisce on my four years here, other emotions outweigh that sadness. My family is here today to support me as they have always done. I am a lucky person. Most of us are lucky in that we have someone whom we regard as family. As I reflect on my years here, I realise how much a school can also be like a family. Mr Fielding, Dr Turner, ladies and gentlemen, fellow students I first attended the College in Year 9, knowing hardly a soul. However, the school's friendly atmosphere quickly became apparent. After only a week I had already settled and found a good group of friends. I remember thinking how fortunate I was regarding the ease with which I had been accepted. I remember the feeling of belonging, of being part of a family. So what makes this school like family? My answer would be the overwhelming support and encouragement each and every student receives from all members of the school community as they aspire to their own personal goals. Through this support, strong friendships are formed along with an immense sense of unity. The House system further develops the family-like environment, with the younger student being able to look up to, and mix freely with older students, much like older brothers and sisters. Age is no barrier, due to the large amount of time spent together and we consequently gain respect, understanding and appreciation of each other. Such support instils a tremendous sense of school spirit and camaraderie in students, and with this comes enormous pride. This pride I felt, despite only having been at the school for one term, when the 1st VIII crossed the finishing line victorious in the 1993 Head of the River. I will never forget the feeling of being a part of the football team which lost to Xavier by a solitary point, consequently robbing us of a premiership. Of course it was a disaster, but the memory of sitting in a dressing room openly weeping with twenty boys, or should I say twenty men, is a bitter-sweet one. And then there is perhaps my proudest recollection of my time at the College - the family portrait. This year was my first opportunity to take part in such a photo and we Year 12s really enjoyed watching the younger members of our school community as they joined us for this occasion. As in any family, each member must also take on a certain amount

of responsibility. Along with this, the members need guidance and leadership, in order to learn to accept rules and responsibilities. No family is perfect, so that it is up to these leaders to point us in the right direction. There are times when we all need help or advice; there is always someone in the school, be it a Head of House, a staff member or a peer, from whom assistance can be sought. If the family is to be a happy and successful one then each member must put in. There is an old adage which goes something along the lines of, You only get out of life what you put in', and this applies here. So I urge all of you who are remaining, 'put in'. Even if you're not involved in the Head of the River, go and support those who are. Even if you're not in the athletics, likewise, go and cheer on your fellow Collegians. Go to the school play, listen to the debaters. The key is to participate. The rewards are great for the student who is willing to have a go. One does not have to excel in any one given area to gain recognition and admiration from one's peers. Everybody has the chance to contribute something in whatever aspect of College life may interest them, be it academically, musically, dramatically or on the sporting field. Everybody is able to be a part of this family, sharing in each other's defeats and learning from them, and in each other's successes and gaining inspiration. So now we in Year 12 must leave the safety and security of what we know and have become so accustomed to over the preceding years. We have overcome that loathed VCE and now even larger challenges await us. While exciting, it can be daunting to leave the family nest and branch out on your own, as many of us in Year 12 will have to do next year. But we know that we still have the support of our families and we can take with us the support of our bigger family, the school. While we in Year 12 are all pleased about finishing our secondary schooling, in all of us there is a part which mourns the end of this era in our relatively short lives. It is natural that some of us will have regrets and wish we could have done some things differently during the course of the year. These regrets should not be dwelt upon, but forgotten as we take with us all the memories of our time here. But perhaps more importantly, we can walk out with confidence. We have had to earn our triumphs, having been challenged, having suffered disappointments. And with this knowledge we know we have been prepared in the best possible way for whatever may lie ahead of us. I would like to thank the Prefects and all the Year 12s for their support this year, in what has been the most enjoyable school year of my life. I wish next year's Prefects all the best.

FROM THE HEAD OF THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL 1996 is the 75th year since the foundation of the Preparatory School. An important anniversary like this is an opportunity for us to look back over the decades to recognise how much has been achieved. We are particularly drawn to this reflection because of the death of Mr Ian Watson during the year. Mr Watson was a member of the Preparatory School staff from 1939 to 1976 (including war service from 1941-1945), and for the last fifteen of his years here was Head of the Preparatory School. One of Mr Watson's particular contributions was to guide the establishment of the Preparatory School on its present site from I960. A large part of the site in those days was a swamp. It was wind-swept, and the dry parts were infested with onion weed. Mr Watson was challenged by the words of one observer who told him, 'You won't grow anything on that land'. As well as being a fine, dedicated teacher and Head, Mr Watson was a keen gardener. He also liked a challenge. Many of the splendid trees that now grace the Prep, were tended personally by Mr Watson during those early years. So much for the lack of potential in the land!

been a vast increase in CD ROM resources held in and accessed from the library. A link to the internet was established this year and this link will be extended to each Middle School classroom next year. All these technological changes are transforming the library from being a collection primarily of printed resources, to becoming a centre for a wide range of information services of increasing power and diversity. The vision of people like Mr Watson continues. At the Preparatory School, foundations are laid for later education, and more generally, for life. Our students develop fundamental learning skills, they form attitudes to learning and to each other, and they develop a striking array of talents. The pages of the Pegasus give an insight into the rich diversity of activities the students enjoy. Preparatory School life should provide preparation for the future as well as enjoyment of the moment. Ideally these two things happen at the same time. In these pages, f hope you will find memories of many happy moments and worthy achievements. As you return to glance over them in years to come, I hope they will carry reminders of seeds that were sown which, by then, will have grown, matured and borne fruit. MR PETER HUGHES

Mr Watson knew that from little acorns, great oak trees grow. He knew the importance of investing in the future, both in the education of young children and in the development of an environment in which education could flourish. We owe a great debt to Mr Watson, and to many others before and after him, for the wonderful environment and facilities we now enjoy. One facility which received particular attention in the original plans of the school was the library. The Helen Mackie library was a purpose built area, and in its day, was much admired for its interior design and its fine collection of children's literature. The library has been important in encouraging many enthusiastic readers over the years. With increasing numbers of students and the diversity of services now required of a modern school library, a refurbishment of the Helen Mackie library became essential. These major works were completed early this year. The new library is bright and inviting, and there is plenty of room to display books and other interesting items to advantage. As well as housing our extensive collection of books, magazines and audio-visual materials, the library now manages our collection of resources that are stored and accessed electronically. This year there has

Hello, we are the mighty Multi Bs and we never give up. We try hard to be co-operative, caring, friendly, and inventive. Our names are Alex, Celeste, David, Elisa, Emily D, Emily S, Grant, Henry, James, Jeremy, Jessica, Katie, Maeve, Nessie, Sam and Susie. Aristotle Axolotyl is our pet. We also have three baby axolotyls, Archimedes, Socrates and Athena and lots of axolotyl eggs to hatch. We love all creatures. Multi Bs get to go on excursions and cook with Mrs Black. One of the excursions we went on was 'going to the zoo'. We also went to the Geelong Art Gallery. The Fauves and Van Gogh are our favourite painters. We tried to make our drawings warm and colourful too. We are very good line watchers and it took us a whole year to make our monument to colour. We made rainbows on the walls of our classroom and designed fountains. Katie and Maeve wrote A Celebration of Rainbows' and we all had a part. Most of the Multi Bs were naughty rain drops but when the sun appeared we made a beautiful rainbow. Our favourite stories are the Greek myths about Demeter, Persephone and Hades and the tales of Hercules. Hercules stole the Queen of the Amazon's golden belt. We made up musical plays about these stories in Music. We listened to music on our CD player every day. Sometimes it made us want to dance. Our pencils danced to the Trumpet Voluntary. It is great fun being a Multi B. Goodbye from all of us.

YEAR ONE We have been learning about the sea. We went on an excursion to

Queenscliff. It was great. We were allowed to touch some sea creatures. You had to wash your hands first, because sea creatures like clean water. There were crabs, starfish, sea horses, sea anemones and sea squirts. One of the sea squirts got Mr McKie!

Paris Nielsen, Nicholas Low, Laura Hill

On our Sea Life Dress-Up day we raced boats across the pool at Middle School. Some of them capsized. It was great fun. Later that day we hunted for buried treasure. Mr McKie gave each group a treasure map with directions on it. We had to follow the directions to get to the treasure. Some groups got a bit lost.

Madeleine Hayes, Lauren Anderson

We do lots of interesting things on our class computer. We use a program called 'Kid Pix' to make slide shows. We made a 'Sea Life' slide show. Everybody made a page about a different sea creature. We recorded our voices on the computer too. Some people also recorded the noise their sea creature made. Mr McKie taped them from a Zoo CDRom called 'The Animals'. The southern elephant seal sounds like lots of people burping!

Hilary Barker

We had a 'Sea Life' Dress-up day. It was great. Some people dressed up as pirates. Michael was a turtle. Lauren was an octopus. Hilary brought a pirate flag along. It is called a 'Jolly Roger'. Christopher Fagg Cameron Joycey James Zwirs, Augustus Knezevich

YEAR 4C CHAMPIONS At the beginning of 1996 in maths, Mrs McLean threw out a challenge. If anyone could beat her time for 90 tables questions she would take them, and a friend to McDonald's for lunch. Shock horror!! She had to take Joel, Jacob, Xavier, Louise and Sara and their friends to Macca's for lunch. CLASSMATES John and Timothy, both came from Hongkong. John was very neat, and shy at times but Tim would call us funny names and was always getting in the action. In early Term 2 they both left. Tim went to Melbourne and John went back to Hongkong.

CHORISTERS Term 3, the Yr 4s sang at the JSHHA music festival at Dallas Brooks Hall. Everyone said we sounded beautiful. In the bus on

CREATURES IN THE CLASSROOM 4C had plenty of creatures in the classroom in 1996.

the way home the girls sang - everyone said they sounded terrible!!

Charlotte's angora rabbit Bon Bon, and Luke's and Robert's guinea pigs Tiger and Patch all came, and Ally's rabbit Lolly was a regular visitor. We were all very excited when Lolly had 5 baby bunnies. Jon brought along 4 day old chicks and for a week and a half Mr Green Tree Frog was a very colourful and exotic inhabitant of our mini rainforest.

CARERS 4C decided to raise money for World Vision. Everyone brought along an Easter egg or a chocolate bunny and we made up an Easter basket. People had to estimate the weight of the basket. Guess who won? Nicholas Hill from 4C, but there was a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th prize so there were lots

COOKS We brought our favourite recipes to school, typed them up

of happy winners. The money was sent to Nyamai Nzomba, in Kenya.

on our computers, put them together and 'Voila'.... the '4C Recipe Book'. Some of the recipes were: Pepperkakor cookies, Melting Moments, Little nachos and Jacob's Puppy Chow. Yum Yum!! For Mothers' Day in Term 1, we all made picture frames from cooked, coloured salt clay, and in Term 3 we all made slices and sweets for Fathers' Day.

At our Chapel Service in Term 3 we thought of all the things we had to be thankful for. One of the things was our health. So we went to visit the patients at the Children's Ward, Geelong Hospital. We gave them some games, toys, books and surprises to keep them busy and make them feel happier about being in hospital. During the year any spare change that we had would go into a plastic money box in the shape of a loaf of bread. The money we raised was sent to World Vision to help people overseas. COMPOSERS At our first assembly for 1996, we made up and performed the '4C Rap' about all of 4C. We thought of words beginning with 'C to describe us all, and we made them into a rap. In Term 3, we composed and performed some rainforest music using improvised instruments like the sounds of the rainforest. The final instrument was a chainsaw!!

YEAR 5/6E It's been a year of tremendous activity For the spectacular grade known as 'Classy E'. Our extra activities included Tournament of Minds, While future olympians went to championships of all kinds. Our social service efforts were the best by far Disco, raffle, 'Warm Winter' and meals delivered by car. Debating and Maths Talent Quest we entered proudly, Dunston Checks In' made us all laugh loudly. Visitors, excursions and camps were just sensational. We bet you thought school was EDUCATIONAL!

WHEEL CHAIR Wheels roll on the chair, You know nothing will compare. Ball bounce, take a shot, It misses, though you gave it all you've got. You love the feel of the wind in your face, It's like running, but with half the pace. You think of what it would be like To be in this wheelchair all your life... No running. Nothing's fair! The difficulty when going up a stair. So you thank the Lord you are strong, and you aren't in a wheelchair for long.

THE LAMP POST Sometimes when I walk along the board walk I see A stingray in the water and minnows swimming by. The seagulls fly high in the sky, But not as high as the pelicans in formation That swirl and twirl in shapes. But most of all I watch the lamp post and all its beautiful features And how the birds come to rest on top NATALIE GAINEY

8H SOCIAL SERVICE On the 30th of August, 8H travelled to the Geelong Hospital. On arrival we waited outside then quickly walked up a few flights of stairs to the Children's ward where I presented an Oximeter to the staff. The Oximeter will be used to measure the oxygen in children's and babies' blood without doing a blood test. We then went around the wards where we met up with a Year 6 patient from College. We travelled home after a successful afternoon. SUSAN CARTLEDGE

BUCKLEY'S FALLS The whirring of the water as it rushes by the sound is sweet and soothing and never tells a lie. Before me is a beautiful place with rocks of solid stone and the reflection of the water on rocks until the water's blown. I smell the water with algae through the waters not too bad to smell the trees are giving a beautiful scent and birds tinkle like a bell. The rocks are grey and solemn and the stories they might tell if only they had lips to speak the stories just might sell. What I can see is at Buckley's falls and although I hurt my knee I can still look at the water where there are beautiful things to see. JESSICA DONALDSON

Watching and waiting to pounce

Needs help madly,

Deer has no blood shed

He wants a rest,

Death was all too fast

So one day he can feel his best.

Lying lifeless in the sand

His blackest thoughts,

Tiger strolls away

Are washed away,

When someone comes To save the day. He is no longer, On the roam,

We live, we die and then we're gone, But why? I wish I knew. Throughout our lives we do not know, How long that we will last. Accidents, illness, the list goes on, The flag's at middle mast. When we die our time is up, But others think this wrong. They say we have an after life, And when we die, we go on.

He has loving parents,

All our lives are special,

And a home.

In lots of different ways.

He now has siblings, And friends as well, All that's left of his past,

Equal is what we all should be, No matter what people say. MIRANDA HOBDAY

she is, however, always ready for aths day. Stuart likes to go to the trots. He goes there lots and lots and lots. Andrew is a fisherman so they say he has a guitar which he loves to play. Chakir and Beck Everett are known for being small whilst Cameron's the opposite, he's quite tall. Richard and Sophie were champs at aths whilst Brad definitely excelled at his maths. Ross, Hannah and Edward won the class footy picks but it was Simon we relied on for the great soccer kicks. Claire and Anna organised Daffodil Day and along with some others were in the play. Daniel Desa is always serene and polite and wouldn't be the one to pick a fight. Ben is quite keen to play school cricket and is always out there to take the next wicket. Lucy is known for her basketball skill and is certainly not one to pretend to be ill. Crossy is known for his surfing prowess and Jenny plays softball with a certain finesse.

FROM

THE

VICE-PRINCIPAL

While listening to Ben Broad read his poem at the special Valedictory Day Assembly in Morrison Hall, one was almost overcome with the sense of pride that all 730 Senior School students and 60 staff felt for their school. Ben was reading his poem, a reflection of his year as School Captain, in response to the delightful speech that Simon Hobbs (Year 11) made to the school about Year 12. Simon likened our community to Camelot - a humorous concept, but underlying this was an inherent acceptance of our shared culture. Our community of students, staff, parents, Old Collegians and friends of the College comes together because of our common interest in education, Christian principles, individual achievement and a concern for others. As students and staff of the College, we probably share this sense of community most, on formal occasions such as Valedictory Day which reinforce the fabric of our culture. This is a very important day in the life of every Senior School student. For Year 12s it marks the end of formal schooling and the beginning of the period of their lives when they will have greatest freedom and independence. Whether working, travelling or studying at the tertiary level, they will not have the same appreciation of 'community' as they have now. The way we interact with each other, the rituals that we follow, the games we play and the stories we tell are all very important in passing on our culture from one generation of students to the next. The importance of role models cannot be underestimated in this process. At most stages in our lives we appreciate the value of a mentor. To students, this may be an older student, a teacher, a resident tutor, a football or netball coach. Even though it may not be apparent to the mentor, the relationship that exists with the student may be very significant in his or her development. The role that older students play here in their dealings with younger students cannot be underestimated. The 'buddy' systems that exist in Houses do much to encourage an easy passage of Year 8 students into the Senior School. School Prefects, House Captains and House Prefects also keep a watchful eye over the well being of students. A caring smile or a few words from one of the 'elders' can often defuse the anxieties of younger students. It is important for the school to recognise this and choose its student leaders carefully. This year I feel we have managed to do this and I would like to thank the School Captain, the Vice Captains, Prefects, House Captains, House Prefects and captains of activities/sports for the sympathetic but effective leadership they have given the school. I would especially like to thank Ben Broad for the contribution he has made to College. His management of Assembly, his quiet, but deliberate influence on students around the school and the role model he provided in tennis and football have been distinctive features of the year.

I would also like to thank all of the staff, the Heads of House, Tutors, Resident Tutors, non-teaching staff and coaches for the important part they play in the pastoral care of students. Their interactions with students both formal and informal are all significant in providing students with an understanding of our culture. There have been many fine achievements in the Senior School this year and although many will be recorded in this edition of Pegasus, I would like to single out a few. I congratulate Dr Turner on her first year as Principal and thank her for her leadership. The Foundation Concert in Deakin's Great Hall was an outstanding success and all musicians and staff can be proud of their performances. Although special mention will go to the Girls' Tennis, Hockey and Netball teams for their APS premierships, I would like to congratulate and thank all students who were involved in College sport for their commitment and generally speaking, for their sportsmanship. During the year many students have been involved in Drama productions. 'Toad', 'The Cherry Orchard', 'Twelfth Night' and the Year 9 and 10 Drama Nights have all provided students with wonderful opportunities to demonstrate their stage skills and I congratulate everyone involved on the quality of these wonderful productions. Arts Week at the end of Term 3 gave the school an opportunity to witness and be involved in a range of different artistic media. I commend the staff of the Austin Gray Centre for their energy and look forward to another spectacular production next year. The Year 9 History Competition saw each of the 7 classes provide a dramatic reproduction of a period of history during the last 100 years. Each presentation was warmly received by students, staff and parents in Morrison Hall. The students who have been awarded academic prizes and merits are to be commended for their achievements, as are all students who have worked hard to complete a satisfying year. On behalf of the staff, I would like to thank the Council for the improvements in facilities such as the Common Room and Administration Offices in the Senior School. As well as the new Careers Centre and the refurbishment of classrooms in the LOTE area, these renovations have provided staff and students with very pleasant working spaces. We are looking forward to the completion of the synthetic tennis courts and hockey pitch over the summer on the northern end of Rankin Field. This will provide a wonderful addition to the facilities available-for both of these sports. The recording of the important events that have occurred in a year allows us to develop an appreciation of the history of the College and forms part of our culture; the telling of our story. I hope that you, a member of the College community, will enjoy reading this edition of Pegasus and will return to it on many occasions in the future to rekindle your relationship with your school. MR JOHN GILSON

MACKIE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr C Considine MATRON: Mrs A Vile TUTORS: Mr P Conway, Mr S Gilson, Mr G Smith, Mr J Wood HOUSE CAPTAIN: Archie Paton HOUSE PREFECTS: Tom Christensen, Warren Keeble, Sam King, Bowen Lockwood, Robert Wettenhall 1996 saw many changes in Mackie House. The addition of eight Year 9s and eleven new Year 10 boys boosted the number within Mackie to 54. Two new duty masters, Mr Wood and Mr Gilson, added great diversity to the already dynamic team of Mr Considine, Mr Conway and Mr Smith. Over the summer vacation renovations to Mackie House were begun and successfully completed for the re-opening of Mackie on the 3rd March. Several hundred staff, past house masters, past captains of Mackie and special guests gathered to witness this occasion and honour the benefactors J.P and R.L Morrison. Mackie activities continued this year as the House was again divided into eight teams. The captains of these teams were Sam King, Bowen Lockwood, James Paton, Tom Christensen, Warren Keeble, George Taylor, Rob Wettenhall and myself. Touch football was played through first term with some tough matches; Warren's team was the eventual winner. A cricket round robin was also played during first term. Sam King showed his dominance with the bat belting countless 4s and 6s. Unfortunately this was not enough and eventually Sam Parsons took our team to victory. House swimming this year gave way to the Mackie Fun Run, which was competed around the Queen's Park golf course. Mr Wood was the eventual winner closely followed by Warren Keeble and George Taylor. Special mention must go to Dan Weddell, Matt Hayes, Andrew Paton and Andrew McDonald who mistakingly thought they had to run through the golf course instead of around it; and yes, you guessed it, this proved to be a shorter run! This was followed by a BBQ lunch and a swim in the Barwon for the junior members of the house. This year's Urbans v's Rurals footy match shaped to be a good one as, on paper, the teams looked evenly matched. The Rurals led by coach Sam King, who was unable to play because of a knee injury, were too tough for the Urbans, who despite some good play from Tim Birks and excellent defence from Kent Begely, were soundly beaten by 25 points. Best players for the Rurals were Sam Christensen, Tim

Farquharson, James Paton, Angus Ward and Richard King. Best for the Urbans were Tim Birks, Bowen and Adam Lockwood, Warren Keeble and Lachie Urquhart. Encouragement awards go to Tom Christensen, Tom Lawler and Dan Weddell who all tried hard to kick goals. The umpiring, although unpopular was much appreciated. This was shown with a free after match mud pack from the boys. The thunder hockey was won by Bowen's team due to a brilliant effort by Rhys Bailey and substitute player Simon Gilson. Instead of the traditional boarders formal once a term, Mackie and Mossgiel decided to hold a fancy dress dinner with the two houses divided into groups representative of punk rock, 70's disco, country and western, rap and blues. Each group had to dance to their type of music and awards were given for the best dancers. This proved to be a highly successful evening and was followed up by an equally successful trivia night held in third term which was run by Mr Wood. Mackie was well represented in this year's 1st school teams. Rowing: Warren Keeble (Vice-captain) and Bowen Lockwood; Cricket: Rob Wettenhall, Lachie Urquhart, Sam King, Sam Christensen and Paul Wallace; Hockey: Hugh Baulch; Basketball: James Pinnis; Football: Bowen Lockwood (captain), Sam King (deputy vice-captain), Warren Keeble, James Paton, Lachie Urquhart, Tom Christensen, George Taylor, Richard King, Pat Milesi and Adam Lockwood; Golf: Tim Farquharson (Captain). Lachie Urquhart, Bowen Lockwood, Warren Keeble, Adam Lockwood and Craig Scott were all members of the athletics squad. George Taylor excelled once again on the stage along with Jono Van Hest, Richard Selman, Richard Drummond, Alastair Randall, Cambell Carmichael, Tom Wettenhall, Sam Parsons, Craig Scott, Ben Guntur and Sam Tang who all performed in one or other of the various school productions. Academically the Mackie Boys have been solid with the Year 12s receiving some excellent first round CAT results. The younger members of the House have also been receiving some very pleasing results throughout the year, the most notable being Andrew Costin, Jono Van Hest, Tim Birks, Tim Young, George Ritchie, Richard Selman, Richard Drummond, Craig Scott, Tom Wettenhall and Alastair Randall. On behalf of Mackie House I would sincerely like to thank Mr Considine, Matron, Mrs Vile, and the tutors for making 1996 a great year in Mackie. I would also like to thank George Taylor (vice-captain), and the other prefects, Warren Keeble, Bowen Lockwood, Sam King, Robert Wettenhall and Tom Christensen for their assistance and enthusiasm.

MOSSGIEL HEAD OF HOUSE: Mrs M O'Loughlin TUTORS: Mr D Hibbard, Ms D Bradshaw, Ms J Ross, Ms C Jones, Ms J Thomson, Mrs A Frcek HOUSE CAPTAINS: Jacqueline Girvan and Elizabeth O'Brien HOUSE PREFECTS: Amanda Coutts, Jacqueline Dennis, Clare Haylock, Prue Messenger, Alicia Peardon and Linda Van Leerdam We began the year with apprehension, as we did not know what to expect with a new house mistress and two new tutors. However, we were soon put at our ease by Mrs O'Loughlin's laid back and warm approach. She quickly won the girls' trust and respect which has been maintained throughout the year. Ms Julie Thomson's bubbly nature was received well by all the girls at Lester Square, and Ms Clare Jones was equally as welcome at Mossgiel. This year Mossgiel has contained a variety of talents. We have had representatives on the sporting field, in drama productions, musical performance and in debating. The back-to-back tennis champions were fortunate to have the leadership of captains Sarah Case and Clare Haylock aided by Jac Dennis. We had two rowers in the lsts this year but sadly both had to withdraw for medical reasons. Jane Bradshaw and Liz Smith were both members of the successful 1st softball team. Winter blew in an exciting season of netball for coach Mrs O'Loughlin, captain Jane Bradshaw and team members Clare Haylock and Kate Macmillan. They won the championship. On the hockey field we were impressed by the talent of Bee Griffiths and Kate Urquhart. Other boarders also represented the school in various sporting teams. There has also been talent shown down at the Austin Gray, with Anna Carter and Linda Van Leerdam performing in the symphony orchestra, and Tracy Pocock dazzling them with her vocal skills. These abilities were demonstrated before Mossgiel at our annual music night. We also saw Emily Kilpatrick, Clare Jackson, Ilaiza Kamil and Nia Savitri on the piano and were impressed by the Year 10 and 11 singing groups. Linda Van Leerdam had a main role in the Year 12 theatre production, 'The Cherry Orchard', viewed by most of the Mossgiel girls, whilst Bindi Menzies starred in the school production, 'Toad of Toad Hall'. There were a number of expeditions organised by the house tutors. These included a trip to Hamilton where we challenged Hamilton College to netball and hockey matches, after they treated us to lunch and a tour

of their school. Thanks must go to Mrs O'Loughlin for accompanying us and Alicia Peardon for her organisation. Mossgiel had a very successful and entertaining sports night where the girls were split into teams for some very informal games. Stars included Angie Gibson, Sonia Hayes, Sally Parsons and Wendy Selman. The Year 10s enjoyed their day at Luna Park with the O'Loughlins and Mr Hibbard who generously drove the bus. The Year 12 girls have enjoyed the gatherings at Mackie during the year. Taking up a suggestion from Mrs O'Loughlin and Mr Considine, the Year 12s shared pizzas at Mossgiel, giving us an opportunity to spend some time together to chat and relax. On another occasion we were taken up to Melbourne and were 'turned loose' to experience city life on a Friday night! Rachel Bugg kindly took some girls down to Queenscliff to have a fish and chips dinner by the beach. Mossgiel and Mackie also had a beach day at the beginning of the year which was a chance to get to know each other. First term saw a different approach to the traditional boarders' formal. The prefects got together and decided on a theme, a 'dance night' where there were four groups; rap, country and western, blues and heavy metal, and for the teachers, 70's. It was a great night for all with spectacular dancing from Edwina Smith, Ellen Begley, Alison Macmillan, Pip Varley and Prue Messenger. The second formal was back to tradition where we dedicated the night to farewell Dr Abery and unexpectedly Ms Rachel Bugg. Third term saw another exciting get together when Mr Wood organised a trivia night. Mossgiel girls blitzed the competition showing their vast general knowledge, particularly Sarah Johnstone, Hanum Juwita, Benita Bunting and Sarah Birks. All in all, Mossgiel has had its most successful year yet. We would like to thank all the Mossgiel girls and especially the prefects for their help and support throughout the year, it was greatly appreciated. It was hard to say goodbye to one of our most dedicated tutors, Ms Rachel Bugg, but Ms Deb Bradshaw was prepared to come in and fill her shoes and she has done a good job. On behalf of the girls we would like to thank all the tutors, especially Mrs O'Loughlin, for their commitment and encouragement during this year. They have helped create a very warm and convivial atmosphere, true to Mossgiel. The Year 12 girls, we are sure, are leaving the House with fond memories of their years' boarding and close friendships formed. The unique boarding experience has placed us in good stead for the future and we are confident that Mossgiel will continue with its traditional warm and happy environment.

CALVERT

HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr D Young TUTORS: Mrs C Carroll, Mrs J Mitchell, Mr A Payne, Mr P Taylor, Mr M Whittle, Mrs J Ekkel HOUSE CAPTAINS: Sarah Case and Marcus Sutton HOUSE PREFECTS: Jane Bradshaw, Ariane Cances, Georgie Lee, Peter Betts, Cameron Jeremiah, Archie Paton, Matthew Spokes Under the guidance of Mr Young, Calvert began the year with high hopes and great expectations as all Calvertians snapped out of their holiday slumber and began to focus on the year of House competition that lay ahead. For Calvert, 1996 would prove to be a year full of highs and lows as all members put themselves on the line for their House. The House competition started off early as we all donned our Speedos and plunged into the waters of the Kardinia Park pool. Despite Gareth Ellis putting in a great effort to win his age group championship, Calvert finished 7th overall. Cameron O'Brien lead the cricketers in to bat hoping for an improvement on last year, which saw Calvert record only one win. Despite some valiant attempts from the boys, Calvert never hit its straps and was bowled over, recording no wins out of the three games played. The girls keen to out do the cricketers, approached the House Softball with great enthusiasm. With Jane Bradshaw leading by example, the girls, despite not making the final, managed to win one of their three games in what was a good team effort. The highly strung senior tennis players took to the court and performed well to record a 4th placing in the senior boys and a 3rd placing in the senior girls. The mixed doubles pairs consisting of Dan Weddell and Jane Bradshaw, and Sarah Case and Tom Lawler produced some excellent tennis, taking out first place in the senior mixed doubles division. The second day of Term 2 saw the running of the House crosscountry. The members of the House whose parents were mean enough not to write them an excuse in their record book or could not forge a fake letter from their doctor, took to the course that stretched along the Barwon, with as much energy as one can muster only two days into term. Despite many runners finding the walk to the starting line tiring in itself, others such as Cameron Jeremiah, Peter Betts, Tom David, Katie Weber and Rosie Bell performed well, eventually seeing Calvert finishing in 7th place. The intellects of the House put their minds to the test as each year level had its turn at House debating. The Year 12 debaters, led courageously by Ross Watson, did not manage to make the final, recording one win for their efforts. The future of Calvert's House debating however looks promising with the Year 9,10 and 11 debaters recording pleasing results.

The netballers performed very well recording some excellent results. The junior girls, with the likes of Rosie Bell, Kate Brown and Kiri Milsom leading the way, were unlucky to only record one win after losing some closely fought battles. The senior netballers won two of their three games but were unlucky not to make it to the final, missing out only on percentage. The hockey players did the unthinkable by going one step further than they did last year and making it to the finals. They actually defeated the defending champions, Shannon. Cameron Jeremiah and Stuart Reeve set the example up forward with one goal each, while at the other end Stuart Lethbridge proved a formidable blockade greatly decreasing Shannon's avenues to goal. All the team should be congratulated on their superb effort and many members of the team are returning next year so that Calvert looks like continuing its previously unheard of winning ways. With Calvert's lack of depth in football players, this year many of the hockey players were called upon. This led to an interesting spectacle. Calvert, strongly led by our only 1st XVIII players Archie Paton and Cameron O'Brien, could not manage to defeat the superior opposition losing both games and eventually finishing 6th. Soon the time of the year when the sound of students frolicking in the playground gives way to the drones of House music practice was upon us. The House prefects set about transforming a group of tone deaf individuals into a closely knit unit of Pavarottis. Armed with Paul Simons' hit 'Mrs Robinson' for the big group, 'Wonderwall' by Oasis for the small group and the legendary 'Peter Gunn' for the instrumental item, the entire House went into battle. Our repertoire of music seemed to strike a note with the audience and as Ross Watson's whistle solo whipped the crowd into a frenzy it seemed Calvert might do the unthinkable and win the House music. To our disappointment the adjudicater seemed unmoved by our performance and to the surprise of many, Calvert was relegated to 6th spot. Term 3 saw the basketballers take to the court eager to please the waiting crowds that flocked to the gym every lunchtime. The boys, despite being competitive in all three games, could not manage a win but provided the crowd with something to cheer about as players such as Archie Paton sunk three pointers with their eyes shut, while Matt Spokes struggled to hit the backboard with his unorthodox shooting technique. The girls decimated their opposition in every game clearly showing that soon the Calvert girl basketballers may well be knocking off the cocky boys' teams. With Sarah Case and Kiri Milsom setting the example the girls showed great teamwork to finish the House basketball on a high note and with many players returning the girls should be able to carry on their winning ways next year. The last week of Term 3 saw the running of the final House sporting event for the year, the House athletics. For a change the athletes were bathed in warm sunshine instead of pouring rain and took to both the track and field in good spirits. Lead by the likes of Jane Bradshaw, Thomas David, Rosie Bell and the little pocket rocket Edward Jeremiah, Calvert recorded some great results eventually going on to finish in a creditable fourth place. Finally, on behalf of the House I would like to thank Mr Whittle, Mrs Mitchell, Mrs Carroll, Mr Payne, Mr Taylor, Mrs Eckkel and, last but not least, Mr Young, for their tutoring and support throughout the year. They have ensured that 1996 will be a year to remember for all Calvertians. MARCUS SUTTON - Co-Captain

COLES

HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr A D C Miller TUTORS: Mr D A Clifford, Mr M Gallus, Mrs D M Lannan, Mr E A Manwaring, Mr R M Morris, Mrs H E Patchett, Mrs P Porter HOUSE CAPTAIN : King Jin Seah HOUSE PREFECTS: Michael Bodey, Benjamin Broad, Felicity Emselle, Alicia Peardon, John White, Renee Wright

Simon Robertson, Alison McMillan, Tim Farquharson, Richard Selman, Melinda Tyack, Ian Munro, Dave Galbally, and Hollie Green. These performances did not win us the glory, but we were content with our second place in this notorious event. With few senior hockey players, our enthusiasm saw us manage a win and a draw from the three matches played to finish in the middle of the field. The McMillan sisters, Alison and Elizabeth led the way with Sally Thompson, and the youngsters of the House, Scott Sinclair, Drew Hendrey, and Troy Busch. Gareth Kent enjoyed House hockey so much he picked it up as his full-time sport!

The influx of Year 9s to the Senior School brought new talent, enthusiasm and hope for Coles House in 1996. While remarkable individual performances were the highlights of the year, our success as a team did not reflect the amount of hard work, determination and dedication put in by so many House members.

Despite having several 1st netballers, the senior girls were unable to fully utilise their potential, finishing 5th with Renee Wright and Melinda Tyack leading the way. Our junior girls played hard and managed to finish in 5th position. Kirsten Rose, Louise Duff, Louise Brown, Ilaiza Kamil, and Jane Williams were consistently hard-working performers.

Before the new year had even a chance to begin, rowing had been completed along the sun-drenched Barwon River. Despite strong rowers in Nick Earle and Brad Duff for the boys, and Melinda Tyack and Libby McMillan for the girls, our crews could not match the might of opposing crews.

Our footballers once again had a very successful competition, booking us a place in the final against highly talented Morrison. The final was a tough and keenly contested encounter. Inspiring and outstanding play came from David Faris, Brad Duff, Alistair Munro, Tim Farquharson, Rhett Parsons, and a very steady Marcus Curypko. Ben Broad dominated when he played, as did the Galbally brothers, Charles and David, with the latter booting a splendid 6 goals against Calvert. Unfortunately, as has been the story in recent years, we were left to contemplate what might have been.

With the sun still making a rare appearance, we took advantage of the warmth and plunged into the inter-house swimming competition. Regardless of weather or distance, Danielle Beckworth cannot be stopped once she takes to the water. For the fourth year running, her dominance in the pool earned her the individual championship. Alison McMillan also performed exceptionally, finishing second overall in the U16 girls. Other strong and consistent performances were put in by Hollie Green, Amanda Parker, John White, Joel Anderson, David Galbally, Melinda Tyack, Bridgette Kelly, Koren Irving, and Melinda Sullivan, all leading Coles to 5th position by the end of the day. While the girls were having a Softball season Renee Wright and Melinda Tyack would rather forget, the boys fared better in cricket. With the intention of using our batting skills to make that round object as elusive as possible for the opposition, we mounted some sizeable scores. With leading batting performances by David Faris and Ben Broad, magnificent bowling by Andrew Barkley and Michael Bodey, and Richard Drummond taking great catches, Coles finished a creditable third. The senior tennis competition proved to be a very successful event, producing first place in the boys and third in the mixed pairs. The almighty duo of Andrew Robertson and Marcus Curypko charged through their competition with resounding victories. The mixed pairs secured third spot with excellent play from John White, Kirin Yee, and Errin Johnson. In the junior teams Scott Sinclair and Louise Brown together with Tim Farquharson and Melinda Cooke secured first place in the mixed competition. Catherine and Jane Williams came second in the girls, and Simon Robertson and Charles Galbally picked up 4th in the boys. This was enough to win the House Tennis competition in a tight tussle with Shannon. As the chilly weather began rolling in, 'enjoyable' was definitely not the best description of our next obstacle - the dreaded cross country. Everyone conquered those daunting kilometres by finishing, but our girls truly stamped their dominance on the day. This time out of the water, Danielle Beckworth crossed the line first in the Open girls' division, winning for the fourth straight year. More superb performances included first placings for Kirsten Rose and Libby McMillan. Top ten placings were gained by Eamon Donnelly, Richard Selman

A confident and talented basketball team suffered just as our senior netball team did. Unpolished teamwork, determined opposition, and failure to make important shots saw us fail to live up to expectations. Andrew Barkley provided excellent service, playing with panache and determination. Michael Parker and Michael Bodey added much-needed height to the team, while accurate shooting from Simon Robertson and Aaron D'Arcy kept up our scoring. After all our hard work, our position in House music came as quite a shock. Maestro Felicity Emselle led the house, succeeding in blending us into a decent and creditable choir. Drew Hendrey, John White, Chris Brown, Aleisha Clark, James Chapman and Belinda and Lauri Dawson keenly contributed their musical talents. The young tenants in the House were our most successful debaters this year. The formidable Catherine Williams, Troy Busch, and James Sharp - who certainly lived up to his name - argued and rebutted their way to a well deserved third position in the Year 9 competition. Our senior debaters Felicity Emselle, Wendy Selman, and humorous John White debated well, but lost narrowly. The Year 10 team of Bronwyn McDonald, Jarrah Gurrie, and Aleisha Clark, also performed dynamically. Athletics saw us finish equal 5th with Shannon - an outstanding result considering the very narrow points difference between 3rd and 5th place. All House members must be congratulated for their performances and willingness to ensure Coles was represented in just about all events. It has been an honour and a privilege to lead Coles House through 1996. On behalf of all House members, I extend special thanks to Mr Miller for his unsurpassable dedication, organisation, and guidance. Similar appreciation must also be issued to House tutors for their support and contributions to the House. I thank all House prefects for their commitment, support, and organisation during the course of this year. All efforts by House members and leaders have contributed invaluably to the vigour, vitality, and vehemence that is Coles House. Harnessing the potential of Coles House will reap the successes this House so richly deserves. I wish all departing Year 12s the best of luck, and Coles House every success in its future endeavours.

KEITH

HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr G D Montgomery TUTORS: Mr WJ Harris, Mrs C L Lean, Mr G J Smith, Mrs M H Lethbridge, Mr J Wood, Mrs D Black, Mrs C Hildebrand HOUSE CAPTAINS: Katherine Napier and Tim Naylor HOUSE PREFECTS: Richard Mason, Amanda Coutts, Kate Morgan, Virginia Clark, Matthew Gudykunst 1996. In a year where Australia saw its first change of government for 13 years, a new principal inducted into the Geelong College and the Sydney Swans make the grand final, Keith House has also been in the midst of exciting change. The experience and leadership of the senior students, along with the exuberance of the junior students has proven to be a winning combination this year and shows signs of great promise for the future. This promise is epitomised by the Year 9 group, whose injection into the house has brought a much-needed burst of new talent, energy and indomitable enthusiasm.

As expected, Keith House continued its fine tradition in the field of debating, with all teams competing well in their respective divisions. The Year 10 team, consisting of David Keith, Angela Destefano and Laura Bourns, stormed its way through the early rounds, only to lose narrowly in the grand final to Shannon. As the days grew shorter and lunch times turned cooler, interest was once again turned to Rankin Field for House hockey. Although keen to go one better than last year's second place, there was some concern about the abundance of defensive players (notably six goal keepers). Keith fought valiantly in all its matches, however, despite the best efforts of Kate Morgan, Claire Keith and Katherine Napier, the team narrowly missed out on a place in the final, finishing a commendable 3rd.

The final days of 1995 marked the beginning of a busy house year, with our crews taking to the Barwon River to compete in the House rowing. With a strong contingent of rowers in the House, the potential for success was clearly evident, however despite early promise our crews were unable to quite get it together on the day. Eventually we finished, a slightly disappointing yet credible, fourth.

Attention was then turned back onto the main oval for House football. The boys fought valiantly under the leadership of Matthew Gudykunst. Unfortunately the enthusiasm shown by the team on the field was not reflected on the scoreboard. Some flashy play from Michael Ellis and David Clarke, along with good performances from Pat Milesi were unable to lift the team from an eventual sixth position on the ladder.

As the new academic year began, we were once again faced with the arduous task of House swimming, traditionally a weak point for Keith. Despite the best efforts of many individual competitors, Keith proved once again that it prefers to keep its feet on dry land, finishing in eighth place. Stand-out performances by Year 9s, James Boston and Sam Percy as individual champions were amongst the day's highlights.

As Term 2 drew to a close and most House members looked forward to a well deserved break, a small group of nervous House prefects was faced with the laborious task of organising House music. After little more than three weeks of intense vocal training, the House finally took to the stage to perform our own version of Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York'. Despite our best efforts, it seemed that everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Not ones to panic, we prayed for a miracle and were rewarded in the shape of our next two items. The small vocal group's performance impressed everyone, with their choral arrangement of 'The Circle of Life' gaining much praise, and more importantly, many points from the adjudicator. Our piece de resistance, the instrumental group, was nothing less than superb, with soloists Michael Ellis and Claire Keith deserving special mention for their fine performances. Overall, our third placing was testimony to the fact that House competition is all about trying.

Down but certainly not out, Keith hung up the speedos and turned its talents back to much drier activities, namely cricket, tennis and softball. The softball team took to the field with much enthusiasm and was rewarded by a pleasing third place. Solid pitching by Claire Smurthwaite, some spectacular outfield catches by Tracey Pocock, and good performances by Allison Wedding were among the highlights of the competition. Although perhaps not the strongest 'cricketing house, the Keith XI took into its matches a young and enthusiastic team whose performances against quality opposition teams were admirable. The number of juniors that featured in this side is a promising sign of things to come. The winning combination of Claire Thompson and Anthea Neunhoffer in the girl's doubles, was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing tennis competition. Their second place behind

complete the winding course around the Barwon, some seemed to revel in the conditions. Age-group champions Tim Clarke (U15), Mark Hanna (U16) and David Clarke (U17), certainly proved this to be the case, running exceptionally well. These people, along with Rowena Neunhoffer, Alex Gason, Lucy Mills, Marlon Law and Jenny Ryan, all performed credibly for the House. A solid fifth placing only inspired us to bigger and better things.

A certain degree of confidence was taken into the boys' basketball competition by our talented line-up, eager to equal the accomplishments of last year's winning team. In the early rounds the team certainly did not disappoint, blasting away its opposition with ease, and in the process, earning a spot in the grand final. A packed Rolland Centre witnessed a close game with Keith eventually running out victors. Thanks must go to Callan Tenabel for his on-court leadership and to Mr Wood for his expert coaching, both of which were instrumental to the team's success.

Undoubtably, the House's finest achievement came in the form of athletics. Great spirit was shown throughout by everyone who competed, even in the most adverse situations. The lead was tightly contested throughout the day between Keith and McArthur, with the final results being held over till the following morning. The next day the champagne started to flow and the celebrations began as Mr Montgomery excitedly declared to anyone who would listen 'We won!, we won!'. It would be impossible to list everyone whose efforts went into making the day so successful, however certain individuals deserve special mention. James Boston, Sam Percy, Michael Ellis and David Clarke all proved themselves worthy of the Championships that they received in their respective age groups. Other exceptional performances were achieved by Andrew Napier, Lucy Mills, Tim Clarke, Mark Hanna, Cameron McDonald, Leah Marriner, Claire Smurthwaite, Matilda Hobba, Tim Naylor and Katherine Napier. Thanks must also go to the kitchen staff for supplying our celebratory doughnuts.

Kate Armstrong

The hours of dedicated work that Mr Montgomery has put into every area of the House's running is testimony to his dedication to the House's ongoing success. His support, encouragement and leadership will be sorely missed by all those leaving this year. Sincere thanks must also go to all the tutors and prefects whose support, organisational skills and composure under pressure, played an integral role in the House's ongoing success. Finally, on behalf of all those leaving Keith this year, we would like to wish all returning members the best of luck for 1997 and beyond. TIM NAYLOR and KATHERINE NAPIER - House Captains Sports Day

Our first official event, which took place in Term 4 of last year, was House rowing. We competed well with our mixed eight, comprising Megan Robilliard, Elly Moreton, Georgie Walker, Anna Austin, James Pinnis, Andrew Burns, Alesh Macak, and Rhys Hunt. We were the outstanding crew of the day. Our success continued into 1996 with a surprising 3rd place in the House swimming. Swimming is an area that has seen an improvement over previous years with the help of some terrific individual efforts. Carly Deeath and Alesh Macak were Year 11 champions. Sophie Farrow was placed second amongst the Year 9s, while Nathan Mayes tried admirably in the dreaded open butterfly. Charles McDonald and Amanda Strijder showed that there is a promising future for McArthur in House swimming. The girls dominated the Softball field once again, achieving the well deserved rank of number one. The team consisted of some talented softballers, as well as some ring-ins who provided the entertainment. The star players for the competition were Tanya Bath as catcher, and our leading pitcher, Fiona Smith. The cricket season brought about one of McArthur's best performances in years. With a reputation of being somewhat mediocre on the cricket field, the boys out did themselves to come second to Morrison. Again there were some fantastic individual performances from James Cameron, Sam Christensen, Simon Clark, Mark Purcell, and Andrew Burns. In tennis, the mixed and boys' pairs played well but with little success. In the girls' competition consistent play from Renee Fagg and Alison Macmillan helped to secure first place. The success in girls' sport continued on the netball field. The junior team, which included three first players, Kate Macmillan, Lucy Cummins, and Eliza Austin, as well as the talent of Sarah Johnstone and Megan Bell, proved too strong for the opposition. A fine team effort from the senior girls took us to the final where we were narrowly defeated by Wettenhall. Liz O'Brien, Megan Robilliard, and Anna Austin provided- a steady defence, Fiona Smith and Renee Fagg controlled the centre, and Annabel Magarey and Carly Deeath performed well in the goal circle. In hockey, Rhys Hunt, Tom Anderson, Will Lewis, Tom Bridges, Elly Moreton and Vic Thornton, displayed their talent on the field, while Fiona Smith, Olivia Romet, and Felicity Thompson put their best foot forward to finish a commendable 3rd.

McArthur's team effort in the cross-country was very pleasing, and with full House participation we were able to take out first place. Excellent individual performances came from Tom Anderson, Vic Thornton, Eliza Austin, Lucy Cummins, Megan Bell, Hannah Jankiewicz and Sarah Johnstone. With little musical talent in the House captains, House music was handed over to Georgie Cameron, Yvette Jenner, and Kate Walker. We began with a large group that was disordered and practically tone deaf, but with time and perseverance Georgie, Kate, and Yvette were able to build us into a respectable choir that could produce something that sounded like music. The dedication of our small group, enabled us to sing an African tribal song with a spirit and enthusiasm that left the audience in awe. Our instrumental group consisted of seven brilliant string players - Georgie Cameron, Yvette Jenner, Olivia Romet, Georgie Walker, Melissa Tan, Hannah Jankiewicz, and Juliette Jenner who impressed the audience with their rendition of Vivaldi's Spring. Congratulations must go to all House members, for their commitment and a well deserved first place. The boys' basketball and football teams played with determination and effort, but unfortunately were unable to overcome their opposition. Sam Christensen, Todd George, Nick Sanders, and Mark Purcell stood out on the football field while James Pinnis, Alesh Macak, Mark Hambling, Campbell Ferguson and Mark Purcell demonstrated their skill in basketball. In girls' basketball we fielded a strong team and were able to win two of our three games convincingly. Expertise from Clare Haylock, Tanya Bath, Alysha Minne and Jess Koch, combined in a brilliant team effort to help us to draw with Calvert, and progress to the final against Keith in which we notched up another victory. Athletic's day is always an exciting event on the calendar and this year was no exception. McArthur began the day in first place after some pleasing performances in events completed prior to the day. Our enthusiasm and dedication were fantastic and with the majority of House members contributing, we came second to Keith by a mere 19 points. The individual champions for the day were Clare Haylock (open), Lucy Cummins (U17), and Megan Bell (U16). Fantastic results also came from Todd George, Mark Hambling, Sarah Johnstone, Rhys Hunt, Sam Christensen, Megan Robilliard, and Nick Sanders. Debating has not been one of McArthur's strengths, although the performance of Year 9 students this year indicated that we have the potential. Dana Wolfenden, Dianne Bath and Tom Forbes debated convincingly to progress to the final where they were defeated in a close contest. As House Captains for 1996, we would like to thank all McArthur members for their enthusiasm and cooperation. A special thank you must also go to the House Prefects and Tutors for their support and encouragement. CLARE HAYLOCK and TOM CHRISTENSEN - House Captains

Cross-country would have to be one of the most disliked events on the calender, yet in true McLean form, most members were willing to grit their teeth and bear it. For some it was beneficial with Adam Lockwood winning his age group.

Participation has yet again been the guideline to success in 1996. This, combined with the usual McLean house spirit has ensured that a reasonably successful and very enjoyable year has been had. The first of the inter-House sporting competitions was fought out on the river late last year. A better start could not have been asked for, with Bowen Lockwood taking charge of the muddy Barwon, to ensure McLean a first placing in rowing. Solid performers in the boats included Will Ritchie, Jane Dennis, Kelly Hughes and Amon Muhor. The summer holidays provided an opportunity to train for the first true 1996 house event ....swimming. Despite some outstanding performances from Nat Morgan and Ben Mitchell, McLean wasunable to move from the bottom half of the table at the end of the day. As Term 1 progressed, House cricket was played. Peter Morgan was our fearless leader, unfortunately he did not lead by example, making two ducks in his first two innings. It was left up to the younger players in the team, namely Andrew Meek and Steve Morgan who showed their maturity to enable a pleasing result. Senior House tennis was our next challenge, and is best summed up as 'what could have been'. We fell only three games short of the top two placings. Jac Dennis led the way, needing little if any help from her partner. Anna Kelly and Steve Roberts were unstoppable until the final match! The boys doubles pairs of Lachie Urquhart and Nick Farr had little trouble in their matches being defeated only once in the competition. Off the field, the McLean name was carried on strongly in the debating arena. We are still the force to be reckoned with in both senior and junior sections.

Basketball in McLean this year also had mixed success. The boys, with Jono Lo and Stu Spiteri playing well, only narrowly missed out on the final, while the girls experienced less success with Suzy Colless, the shining light. Soon winter was upon us, which could only mean one thing and that was football. With five 1st XVIII players, we were set for a spot in the final. This did not eventuate as we were beaten in our second round match by the eventual winners. Best players were Nathan Jose, Lachlan McCallum and Daniel Anskaitis. With our house music song, Jack and Dianne', we were set to overcome the third place jinx which we had received in the previous two years. Our sights were set on a top two placing and with the guidance of Bree Taylor and Ben Mitchell, it seemed possible. This was not to be the case; however, our voices managed a very respectable fourth place. The final event of the year was House Athletics. Almost all events were filled and the determination was outstanding. Adam Lockwood won his age group, while young gun Matthew Goldsworthy gained second place in his age group. These results did not sum up the final standing, with McLean coming not last, but eighth. I would like to thank the prefects - Jacqui Dennis, Bowen Lockwood, Anna Kelly, Peter Morgan and Kate Ward for their time and effort this year. Sincere thanks must also go to the tireless efforts of the House tutors which were much appreciated. Finally, I must thank Mr Claringbold for his friendship, guidance and support of all students of McLean in 1996.1 have had an enjoyable year as captain and wish every McLean House member success for the future. CAMERON MCCALLUM - House Captain

The netball teams had mixed success with both senior and junior teams finishing in the second half of the overall standing. Co-captained by Jac Dennis and Anna Kelly, the netballets were defeated by better opposition. The best players for the senior girls were Katie Robertson, Liz Smith and Bree Taylor. The junior girls showed potential with Bindi Menzies, Emily Kilpatrick and Hanum Juwita being the best. Despite the enthusiasm displayed by the softballers and hockey players, the efforts in these events were unrewarded. Captain courageous Kate Ward and Suzy Colless were the better players in the softball team,

As the year unfolded and I learned more, I realised that it is the House as a whole, or at least the individuals in it, who are responsible for success, not just the House Captain and Prefects. This year we have had very little difficulty in filling events on the sporting fields. In House sport, where participation is the key, it was the enthusiasm of Morrison and the self motivation of individuals that made this year another great one. House activities began as usual with swimming and we put in a creditable performance to come 3rd overall. Individuals who performed particularly well were Rebecca Kempster, Belinda McMillan, Estelle Chappie and Tim Ayerbe. Mark Schnabel put in a brilliant 50 metres freestyle but unfortunately felt the effect of the exertion and had to go home for the afternoon, yet again, to recuperate. This year Morrison was again House Cricket Champion. Captained courageously by Alistair McArthur the team won all games comfortably. Nick Hosking showed some flair with the bat, Nathan Templeton dismayed the opposition with his blistering bowling and Jamie MacKay dug in some good bouncers throughout the series. While the boys were fighting out the cricket on the oval, the girls were fighting around the softball diamond. Emily Simms led the way, playing consistently with both bat and mitt. Our team lacked experience; but with good performances from Susie McMillan, Chinetta Ren and Liz Ryan, Year 9 led the way. Senior tennis was fought out in high spirits. Lincoln Coad and Wesley Cordingly played well to help the team to a creditable 5th place. The senior girls came 4th with valiant performances from Caroline Hadley, Prue Messenger and others. As the summer began to slip away and the weather deteriorated, House activity moved indoors for debating with three students from each year level mentally challenging the opposition with hypotheses, metaphors and a whole lot of ear bashing. As it turned out, our Year 10 team was most convincing with Katie Gladman, Fletcher Bubb, Estelle Chappie and Clare Jackson making the final where they were defeated in a tight contest.

On the 24th April the school was blessed with fine weather for the annual running of the cross country. Emily Simms, Sarah Warrior, Tim Birks, Nathan Templeton and Ron Frim flourished in the conditions and recorded good times. Overall it was a great team effort and the Morries came in 3rd against a star studded opposition. Both junior and senior netball were played. The juniors were unlucky not to record any wins with Janey Gwyther amongst the best. In the seniors, Jane Cox, Emily Simms and Belinda McMillan showed the school some good flowing play but again with little success. Both teams, though; showed that Morrison is a House where to try your best is more important than to win! In basketball the boys won two of their three games and the girls lost two and won one of their matches. The best basketballers for Morrison were Matthew Gilchrist, Neil Dinning, Alison Gusbeth and Natalie Green. Again we lacked experienced players but our volunteers played with desperation and pride. Many of Morrison's hockey players also lacked skill and experience, but, in spite of this, the Morries put up a good fight. Simon Ayerbe performed well up forward and Prue Messenger played some strong defensive hockey. House football was won by Morrison for the 6th year on the trot! We only fielded 14 players in the grand final against Coles, and the Morrison courage was evident again. Anthony Depasquale was a force in the centre, continually driving the ball forward, Nathan Templeton ran rampant, carving up teams with his game and Wesley Cordingley was a terrier around the packs. But success in House competition should not be measured by the number of wins or losses recorded during the year. It should be measured by the amount of fun, smiles and laughs shared by the participants. Morrison lost the House Music on musical merit but if House music had been judged on fun, our House would have been clear winners. (The fact that most of the laughs were during our rendition of'Hit the Road Jack' is insignificant.) Congratulations should go to Belinda McMillan for the way she pulled our music illiterates together. Ron Frim, Alister Hodge and Sam Hurst deserve praise for their back up instrumental work. Susan McMillan led our small group which put some sort of credibility into the Morrison score. House athletics was run on September 18th. The day was fine, the track was fast and everyone performed well contributing to an overall 3rd place behind Keith and McArthur. Fine individual performances came from Tyson Leach and Janey Gwyther who were under-age champions. Alison Gusbeth, Nikki Gunawardana, David Murfett and Nathan Templeton gave great support. It was another fine team effort. Since arriving at the College in 1994,1 have seen an enormous change in the level of participation, energy, pride and enthusiasm in Morrison House. The development of these attributes has been due mainly to the support and energy that the tutors, and particularly our Head of House, Mr Quail, have put into the House. On behalf of the House, I would like to thank them for their dedication in 1996. The rumours are certainly not true that Mr Quail goes to the Preparatory School to recruit talented students into the House before each year begins! I would like to thank the Prefects, especially Alistair McArthur and Prue Messenger, my Vicecaptains, for their support throughout the year. I sincerely wish all Morrison members the best of luck in the future. Thanks for making 1996 another successful year for the House, and I hope that the tradition of Morrison continues into the future. WARREN KEEBLE - House Captain

SHANNON HEAD OF HOUSE: Mrs A Fulton TUTORS: Mr P Conway, Mr I Cochrane, Mrs H Fitzpatrick, Mrs T Foley, Mr G Gilby, Mr P Hannah, Ms J Utting HOUSE CAPTAIN: Giles Craig HOUSE PREFECTS: Feme Millen, Michael Henderson, Emily Casey, Ben Marchesani, Travis Nilson, Moya O'Brien, Linda Van Leerdam With a new Head of House in 1996 Shannon looked forward to another successful year. Throughout the year many outstanding performances were recorded. The determination of all House members ensured that the navy blue of Shannon was always worn with pride. At the end of 1995, Shannon House rowers went out to conquer the opposition. Our girls' IV won their division with a fantastic row. Lucy Young, Simon Steel and Travis Nilson are to be congratulated for their super-human efforts. The annual Valentine's Day carnation sale is always a challenge for new Year 12s who run this social service activity. They sold over 1500 carnations, an incredible effort. The $240 profit was donated to the Riding for the Disabled in Bannockburn, a worthy charity. Special thanks to Simon Steel for his efforts as our House Social Service Representative. The year got off to a flying start with Shannon's first win in the swimming sports for 10 years. This was a credit to our House spirit and determination and was an excellent 'springboard' for the rest of the year. We achieved individual placings in five of the eight age groups. Emma Thomas, Sam Lindquist, Alastair Dadds, Troy Brooks and Emily Casey all swam well in their respective age groups. Em deserves a special mention for her efforts in the diving which she won. With a talented line-up, Shannon cricketers won two of their three games. Some excellent performances during the series from Sam King, Ryan Sharkey, Michael Hildebrand, Tim Young, and John Considine who, on debut in the last game, smashed a valuable 30 runs. The senior House tennis team had mixed results this year with one win, a loss and a draw. The season ended with the girls in 8th position, the mixed, a respectable 5th, and the boys, 3rd overall. Andrea Snow, Pip Varley, Kate Carey, Michael Silcock, Josh Considine and Andrew Fleetwood all put in consistent efforts. As with other bat 'n' ball sports, our softballers played with grit and determination against strong opposition. Feme Millen, Linda Van Leerdam, Emily Casey, Vicky Tomes, Kate Nelson all performed well against quality opposition. Early in Term 2, Shannon geared up for the most feared house event - cross country. To our credit we had the most competitors and recorded some excellent individual results. Michael Henderson, Travis Nilson, Simon Steel, Emma Thomas, Kate Fitzpatrick and Claire Paterson were all in the top five of their respective age groups. Our football team, led by Travis Nilson, finished the competition with one win and a loss. Sam and

Richard King, Jono Hildebrand, Sam Lindquist and our pointscoring machine Simon Steel, put in some fine performances. Shannon's phenomenal success in House hockey continued this year. Winners for the last three years it looked as though we were going to make it four, after convincing wins over Coles and Wettenhall. However, this was not to be as we were beaten in the final by Calvert. Michael Henderson was again the outstanding contributor, with other excellent performances from Tim Lamb and Sarah Carey. Shannon's junior netballers performed exceptionally well, winning all of their round robin games only to narrowly lose the final to McArthur. With Simonne Le Grew, Angie Gibson, Pip Collins, Gen Claringbold and Kate Paterson, Shannon House netball looks to have a strong future. Whilst the seniors were not as successful as the juniors, they should be congratulated for their endeavour and determination. Exceptional players for the senior team were Lucy Young, Pip Varley, Feme Millen and Sarah Goldsworthy. Keen to avenge our narrow loss in last year's House music competition, Shannon departed from the successful formula of 'Grease' music, and opted for the melody from 'Sister Act' for the big group. Our small group sang 'Everything's Alright' from Jesus Christ Superstar and the instrumental played 'Mainstream'. Our return to the podium was thwarted by McArthur, but we finished a credible fourth. Thanks to Moya O'Brien, Linda Van Leerdam, Ben Marchesani and Mr Hannah for their inspiration. Shannon's debating teams were again successful at all year levels aided by Ben Marchesani. Particularly pleasing was our triumphant victory in Year 10 debating. Kate Fitzpatrick, Sam Marchesani, Sascha Lawler and Michael Hildebrand swept all before them. Sascha, the premier speaker of the competition, earned three best-speaker awards. The boys' basketball team was very successful, finishing second just behind Keith. There were some great performances from Ryan Sharkey, Dane Callanan and Michael Silcock. House athletics provided another opportunity for all Shannon members to demonstrate their athletic abilities and we finished a creditable 5th. Great performances were seen from Josh Considine, Travis Nilson, Simon Steel, Michael Henderson, Sam King, James Dowling, Dane Callanan, Tom Fallaw, Alastair Dadds, Sarah Ellis, Claire Paterson, Nicole Ronald, Andrea Snow, Moya O'Brien, and Linda Van Leerdam, to name just a few. House golf was played early on the last day of the Term 3 holidays. We played exceptionally well on a wet course, coming 2nd for the 2nd year in a row. James Logan was our best player scoring 62. Much of Shannon's success this year can be attributed to Mrs Fulton whose energy and enthusiasm inspired the House to greater heights. Her dedication to the House and its members has been fantastic and on behalf of the House I thank her for a remarkable year. Many thanks to the Tutors who worked tirelessly to keep the House running smoothly and to the Prefects for their support and hard work. I would like to wish all Shannon members the best of luck for the future and hope that they continue to harbour the fine spirit and enthusiasm the other Houses envy. GILES CRAIG - House Captain

WETTENHALL

HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr D Curnow TUTORS: Mrs J A Coghill, Mr R Salen, Mrs J A Gainey, Mr T P Parkes, Mrs C Tol, Mr D A Andrews HOUSE CAPTAIN : Aisha Ryan HOUSE PREFECTS: Jacqueline Girvan (Vice-captain), George Taylor (Vice-captain), Bronwyn Galbraith, Tom Billings For all Wettenhallians, 1996 did not pass without turmoil. However, through every event, every song, every speech and every house activity, the Wettenhall spirit shone as bright as our house colour - gold. The firstclass achievements of Wettenhall this year, reinforced the fact that we should not be underestimated. Our sporting calendar began with the swimming sports, where Wettenhall is always noted for its ability. This year was no exception and an almost 100 percent participation, combined with some excellent individual performances from Michelle Collins, Nick Noble and Troy Doak, provided us with a third placing. Unfortunately, we did not perform as admirably in the most loved of all competitions - the cross country. Being the second most populous House, the scoring system which favours the smaller houses, was not to our advantage. Our 5th placing was far from disgraceful with Will Swinton, Jeremy Miller, Troy Doak, Skye Swaney, Georgia Reid, and Michelle Collinsplacing very well. In the team sports Wettenhall gained some very pleasing results. While our only win in these competitions was in senior netball, where we were led capably by Bronnie Galbraith, we placed in the other sports. Our junior netballers reached the final aided by some good performances by Rachael Crawford and Charlotte Paton. Our girl rowers came second and although our boys' crew contained two members of the 1st VIII. They were plagued by bad luck and rowed a disappointing race. We had won the cricket for the past two years, so the generous boys of our cricket team decided to let some of the other houses 'have a bit of a go'. Rod Crawford, James Paton and Rob Wettenhall played extremely well, helping the team to third place. Missing several key players, the football team came last in a difficult pool. Georgia Reid helped the girls' tennis team to second place, while the boys came fourth. In hockey we again performed well and just missed reaching the final, coming second in our pool. Some great saves were made by Dana Ryan in goals with Jules Reichl performing well in centre-half. The softballers easily finished on top of their pool, Christine Blair proved her worth with the bat and on the field. Although the team played very courageously in the playoff for the final, we were defeated by the opposition's 'one man band.' The basketball teams achieved very pleasing results, considering the lack of basketballers in the house. For the boys, Michael Burnell continued to be outstanding and was well supported by Rod Crawford and James Paton, while for the girls Amrita Williams was strong in offence and Bronnie Galbraith defended well.

The versatility of Wettenhall House was illustrated in the House music competition. We were determined to dispel any rumours that we were tone-deaf, and the other Houses were surprised by our musical ability when we blasted them with our cry of 'Do You Hear the People Sing?' from Les Miserables. With his tremendous House spirit and enthusiasm, George Taylor, conducted the House choir. Bruno Siketa showed his musical talent as part of the brass trio in the instrumental section, and Jeremy Miller showed his capabilities on the piano. The small group's rendition of 'Tears in Heaven' was nothing short of remarkable, led superbly by Merryn Phillips, who invested many rehearsal hours to help Wettenhall gain an excellent second placing - the best result ever recorded by Wettenhall in House music. The creditable seventh in House athletics saw some very good performances by individuals such as Aisha Ryan, Charlotte Paton and Natalie Grace. This year saw the introduction of the 'buddy' system, with each Year 12 pairing up with a new student, usually a Year 9. The system helped transition into the Senior School for the new students, and allowed the Yearl2s further interaction with the lower year levels. Several activities such as 'Buddy-ators' were held throughout the year and were a huge success, hopefully the system will continue in future years. Wettenhall also participated in many fundraising activities and recognition must be given to the contribution of Caroline Renick and many others in this area. Every member of Wettenhall should be very grateful to our unsung heroes: the house tutors - Mrs Coghill, Mr Salen, Mrs Gainey, Mr Parkes, Mrs Tol and Mr Andrews contributed much time and effort to Wettenhall activities and provided a strong foundation for the House. Thanks go to the House prefects, Bronnie Galbraith and Tom Billings and to the vicecaptains, George Taylor and Jacqui Girvan for all of their help and support. It was not a year without difficulties but our outstanding Head of House, Mr Curnow, managed to overcome them all and helped build Wettenhall pride. Best of luck to you all next year - go gold! AISHA RYAN - House Captain It is with a great deal of sadness that I farewell this year's Year 12. They have demonstrated depth, enthusiasm, integrity, sensitivity and a vitality of spirit which I hope they will take with them into their future environments. I wish to thank Tutors, Prefects and especially our outgoing House Captain, Aisha, for their continual efforts in a very busy year where we have introduced a Personal Development Course and a Buddy System. I appreciate that extra tutorial times have placed extra demands on everyone concerned. Thank you all for the positive input and all the best over the break and beyond MR D CURNOW - Head of House

ANZAC DAY An address to the school by Mr Andrew Gibson, Head of History AN, Anderson, R. Barnfather, J.E.P. Bowering, H.T. Burns These are some of the names of the fallen from the First World War which appear in the War Memorial behind me and in this talk I want to focus on Collegians from the First World War, although really everything I say could equally apply to those who served in WW2. Dr Turner will be reading both lists during this service. Those of you who have attended the Senior School ANZAC Day services for a few years will have heard the ' names from these lists several times before. And I don't know about you, but for me the reading of those names represents a very significant and extremely poignant part of our ANZAC Day ceremony each year. I don't know these people, I'm not related to any of them as far as I know - and yet every year hearing their names causes me to think about a number of things concerning war and life and death and history, and I wonder whether you think of some of these things and have similar reactions. As you hear the list you may consider that a certain bond exists between you and these people because they attended the Geelong College too. These names are of Collegians after all, just as you all here are Collegians, so in a strong sense you share something very important with these names. It's interesting to remember that they sat in the same classrooms as you do each day, they struggled or succeeded in Maths and Literature, they walked the hallways and cloisters as we do, they played games on the fields, contributed to Pegasus, acted in plays, worked in the HOG, were homesick and somehow made their mark, just as you will all make your mark, on this school, your school - and theirs. These collegians walked through the cloisters in the past: J.S. Coles, H.R. Collier, A.L. Dardel, F.S. Davidson Something else which occurs to me - and you might think about as you listen to the names - is that many of these Collegians enlisted straight out of school, making them virtually the same age as our Year 12 students now. Consider that for a moment. There are some 90 names of the fallen there under the heading of the First World War. Now, between the years 1915 and 1918 the average enrolment of the whole school was fewer than 300. In such a small school you can imagine how well known these ninety would have been and how their deaths would have affected this small community during that time. Many of the pages in the Pegasus from 1915 to 1919 were devoted to obituaries to these young men and each one's photo was also published. Particularly poignant is the fact that some of these dead had written to the Pegasus from Gallipoli and elsewhere in Europe sometime previously. These letters speak confidendy and hopefully of getting through the experience. You might like to take the time to look through these records if you are interested. These collegians walked through the cloisters in the past: W.P. Hall, G. Harriot, T.H.E. Haughton, H.E. Hawkesworth What strikes you when you look at the photos of those young boys in Pegasus is that they are just that - young boys. As you look at them you can imagine their young faces filled with looks of hope, nervous expectation and plucky confidence being farewelled by their families and friends or as they toasted one another at various pubs and celebrations around Geelong, or Melbourne or the Western Districts before they set off to the training camps around die country, where quickly they would be changed from boys to soldiers. Then we might picture then as new and untried troops landing at the ANZAC cove. Those of you who know something of the Gallipoli landing will remember that they went ashore there in tbe early hours of the morning of that Sunday, the 25th. Many of them were shot dead in the boats, or they were trapped by the barbed wire in the water before they reached the beaches. We can imagine the confusion and panic as these young men not six months removed from these classrooms in the school, tried to regroup with their companies on

the beach in the dark. ANZAC Cove, too, you might know, is an inhospitable and rugged place, noted for its difficult terrain, I wonder if we can place some of these names among those young men struggling to scramble up the cliffs of ANZAC cove amid enemy fire. These collegians walked through the cloisters in the past: C.H. Latta, H.R. Lester, T,R. Lowe, C.H. Lyon The reading of the names might prompt you to think also of the heroism and bravery of ANZAC - the unstinting lines of men at Gallipoli which continued forward on that cruel morning as their friends fell around them. School mates perhaps who had grown up together like Ted Hendy and Albert Moreton or brothers such as Roy and Fen Pillow, struggled forward, continued on. And continue on diey did and with such purpose that the leader of the Turkish forces at the time declared: "The only way to stop an Australian soldier is to bury him". The stories of heroism and bravery from Gallipoli are legendary, but against them we must balance the horror of the war in the trenches, where men from both sides were thrown against one another over the terrain which lay between the two lines of trenches, only to be cut to ribbons by the awesome power of die newly developed and highly effective machine gun. These collegians walked through the cloisters in the past: E,W. Opie, G.A. Paul, J.C. Paul, J.W. Pearce Apart from the boys themselves you might also think of the mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters who waited back here in Australia waited for some word, a letter, perhaps to reassure them of their son's safety. Or who wished and prayed for a safe return. Or who waited for the telegram or the visit from the uniformed official to tell you of your boy's death, in a place most people in Australia had never heard of. Perhaps you think of those who never knew their sons except as the boys they were when they left. Families who lived with the realisation that these young men would never grow old, would never be fathers, would never raise families like the ones that had waited behind for diem. We might think of them, the families and friends, and their anguish as the war continued into a second and then a third and fourth year, when all expectations were that it would be all over within the first couple of months. Think about what it was like to wait behind. Consider too, the amount of names which appear both in the College lists from the First World War and Second World War which are the same. In other words, there were College families who were to lose family members over the course of the two wars. Staying behind was no easy option. These collegians walked through the cloisters in the past: H.E. Whitehead, T.N. Willis, AB. Wilson, H.S. Wrathall, C.LYoung Perhaps these names will remind us of the survivors, those whose names do not appear here, but who somehow lived to tell the story of war so that we, each of us, could know of the unspeakable horror of war, the grief, the loss and the waste. We might be reminded of the lines of returned servicemen and women who are marching in the streets of the towns and cities throughout the country today who want to continue the task of remembrance. But you know along with the marchers, there is an ever increasing number of Australians who join in ANZAC Day ceremonies throughout this country every year - and diey will be again today - who did not fight in a war, who never waited for a sweetheart or brother or son or daughter to return from a war or who importantly do not know war in the way the names we will hear today knew war. Australians who have not known war, but who want to acknowledge the enormous debt that is owed to the dead and returned from all wars. People who like us, want to remember, are obliged to remember, lest we forget. These collegians walked through the cloisters in the past.

CURRICULUM

INITIATIVES

CHINESE Mandarin Chinese, the language spoken by more people than any other in the world, has been taught at College for a number of years. In an exciting new development, it has been decided to extend the study of Chinese into the Preparatory School in 1997, with students beginning their study of this fascinating language in Year 8. This extra year of study will no doubt enable students to achieve an even higher standard than has been the case in the past. The Year 8 course will include the study of Chinese history and culture, as well as basic conversation and an introduction to the unique feature of Chinese, its use of a character writing system.

SENIOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS Mathematics continues to enjoy a high profile at the College with many talented students continually displaying their skills.' The VCE acceleration program has now been in operation for 4 years and the second group of accelerated students will complete their Year 12 studies this year. This program has been a great success offering students the chance to continue to the highest levels of Mathematics in Year 12 while having room in the Year 11 program for a broader range of studies. It has also contributed to increased participation of girls in Specialist Mathematics. This is pleasing to see since so many of the girls are excellent mathematicians but have been prevented from selecting Specialist Mathematics because of their desire to study more broadly in Year 12. We continue to use technology to enhance the power of the mathematics that students can use and the computer programs available have been heavily used. Graphics calculators have been introduced to the College this year and we continue to be amazed by the power of these small machines to enhance the teaching and learning process. With the Board of Studies now allowing their use in all VCE examinations, we expect that many more students will be using these in the future. Students have participated in the Westpac Australian Mathematics Competition with great success again this year. We have also entered in the Deakin University Mathematics Competition (Year 10), the University of Canberra Mathematics competition (Year 11 & 12) and the State-wide Mathematics Competition (Year 10) and separate reports indicate our successes in those competitions. With some stability in VCE studies now having been achieved, we will have the opportunity to give some extra time to reviewing our Year 9 and 10 courses and will continue to use the Curriculum Standards Framework as the basis for review and re-vitalisation.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT The new Year 9 Personal Development course, which was introduced this year to replace Health Education in the Senior School, incorporates all of the traditional topics of the old course as well as Study Skills and Careers Education. Next year the program will expand into Year 10 where it will have a more 'community' focus. Much thought is being given to the place that Values Education should have in the course, a process which has been helped by the visit of Dr Peter Vardy as well as by material and ideas gathered from a visit to the

Friends' School, Hobart. Thirty-two teachers will be involved in the program next year, and much stimulating debate is taking place around the aims of the course, its scope, its place within the pastoral care system of the school and the overriding difficulty in trying to assess its influence on students: a formidable challenge! MR D MacBRYDE

BUSINESS STUDIES 1996 saw a number of exciting curriculum initiatives undertaken within the Business Studies Department. In Year 10 Commerce, around 145 eager students undertook the 'Small Business Project'. This is a semester-length, hands-on approach where students can experience the joys and pitfalls of running their own enterprise. After developing a business idea, researching the market, developing finance, making and selling a product or service, the study culminates in the production of a comprehensive company report and folio. Enthusiasm, creativity, originality and hard work were evidenced in the fact that the total turnover of businesses was estimated to be in excess of $35,000. Because profits are taxed, cheques amounting to nearly $1,800 were handed over to worthy charities including Cottage by the Sea and Make a Wish Foundation. In recent years, this brings to more than $10,000 donations of this type.

Business Studies - BHP Waratah - Management outlines how BHP Waratah is becoming internationally competitive by re-structuring the company operations

As part of the Year 11 Economics, over 50 students learned from and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the excursion to various Melbourne markets including the Stock Exchange and the bustling Queen Victoria Market. The intention was to study the operation of the price system and the different business organisational structures. Another interesting initiative was the 'industry tour' to examine how local firms are changing to become internationally competitive. Finally, in Year 11 Legal Studies, 16 students participated in a school's Moot (mock) Court Competition at the Geelong Magistrate's Court. Our eloquent representatives found themselves challenged as they enacted a trial and carried out the functions of various court personalities. MR R MORRIS - Head of Business Studies SCIENCE During 1996, the Science department has moved towards incorporating the content and style of the Curriculum and Standards Framework (CSF) document into existing Science courses for Years 9 and 10. This commitment to the CSF will also enable an easier passage for Preparatory students into Science at the Senior School, and indeed for all students who enter the school at Year 9. A great deal of time and effort has been devoted to highlighting areas of CSF Science that are not currently taught, or those where the level at which the content is taught differs from current practice. This review is far from complete and will continue throughout 1997; our aim is to design units of work in Science that are interesting and challenging and which will provide ideal entry points for VCE studies in Science.

LOTE - Tom Butters

LOTE What do a gorilla suit, a job interview and a Roman soldier have in common? They all appeared in the Year 10 LOTE afternoon where over 100 students of French, Latin and Chinese came together in Morrison Hall to celebrate the fun and skill involved in learning a language. A budding bi-lingual TV show host kept us on the edge of our seats as we sweated over the price of the lounge suite in a Chinese version of 'The Price is Right'. The moving story of the 'Return of Martin Guerre' was presented by one of the French classes, and Vilbia finally got her man in the Latin play. The afternoon concluded with a delicious selection of French pastries - reason enough to study a LOTE! MRSJEKKEL-HeadofLOTE

CAREERS

CENTRE

An exciting new stage in the development of the Careers Centre and in the life of the College has taken place this year with the relocation of this department downstairs, next to the Staff Common Room and into the major centre of activity in the school. The previous use of the new area means that major renovation works needed to be undertaken which began in December, 1995, and continued through until the beginning of Term 2. In the course of the year, Careers invites a number of speakers to address students, on a range of topics that might assist with career selection. Our major single event is the Careers Night which is held at the end of Term 2 Many of our speakers are Old Collegians. This year Sue Barrett from Barrett Consulting in Armadale, gave the keynote address at the beginning of the night. Her words created much interest, and as a result, I sought her permission to include some of her thoughts here. She felt that there were five fundamentals involved when a young person is preparing for a career. 1. CHANGE - you need to be adaptable to change. Information is doubling every five years and you must realise that you can expect to have at least 8 career changes in your working life and can expect to be fired from at least 3 of these jobs - so if you are not flexible it will be harder to survive. 2. LEARNING - you need to know how to learn...learning has very little to do with taking in information. What is learning? Learning is about

building the capability to create that which you previously couldn't create. It's ultimately related to action, which information is not. Companies want fit people; physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Learning is not necessarily related to how high your IQ is, it is related to what you can do with what you have. 3. VISIBILITY - You need to take responsibility for the visibility management of your career...you need to be able to stand out and make a difference. Position - position yourself in the market place, make sure you get seen. Style - make sure you are remembered. Repetition - make sure you repeat, repeat, repeat the process to make it all worthwhile...it doesn't happen by only doing it once. 4. ATTITUDE - You need a 'Can Do' 'Want To' attitude. Skills and knowledge make up only 15-25% of your overall success while attitude makes up 75-85% of your success. Attitude is the multiplying factor of your skills and knowledge. 5. VISION - Don't think about what everyone else wants you to do. Ask yourself: What am I here to give? Successful students...successful people have one thing in common - a powerful positive vision of their future. They ask themselves: What is unique about me? What can I contribute? They listen to outsiders, they listen and explore the world, they discover their unique talents and then ask themselves how are they best suited to serve humanity? And when they answer these questions, they put them into practice. MRS SHERAN FISHER - Careers Advisor

Claire Genty - Year 8 Forum

Leanne Ryan chats to Forum Speaker Ian Westerland David Harcoan from Wheelchair Sports Victoria

DEBATING Francis Bacon once suggested that 'Silence is the virtue of fools' but 1996 saw The Geelong College's debaters prove that it is equally possible to appear foolish while speaking. Not that this is any particular reflection on the standard of debating nurtured at The Geelong College, but one must admit that it is difficult to appear unfoolish while arguing that 'Women need men like fish need bicycles.' Such was the task of the D-grade debaters this year. Edwina Dethridge took out the coveted 'best speaker' award for insisting that 'TV news is not the news.' However the remainder of the season proved unsuccessful for both D-grade teams, but we hope to see them all return next year, for what promises to be a rewarding season for them as Cgraders. The current C-grade debaters, led by Emily Kilpatrick, Sascha Lawler and Kelly Bollen were the most successful team this year. A massive contingent of fourteen debaters, divided into three teams, blew the adjudicators away with their infallible arguments in topics such as: 'Brides should wear black' and 'We should not be thankful for unions'. We eagerly await their return next season, for what we anticipate will be another large, enthusiastic and successful B-grade. 1996's B-grade displayed flair and intelligence when debating topics such as: 'Women's magazines do more harm than good' and 'Multiculturalism is incompatible with patriotism', to complete a successful season. 'Best speakers' awards were distributed to Simon Hobbs, Kelly Hughes and MacGregor Dawson, for outstanding oration in their respective arguments. Due to the extraordinary standard that was universally displayed at this level, our B-Grade were unlucky to miss the finals by a one-point loss. The walls shook with cries of 'Thou shalt not kill!' when the Agraders took the podium. We excelled on 'secret topics', with but one hour to prepare sophisticated arguments on such topics as - The desirability of dole diaries or the merits of the Ten Commandments. However we fell slightly short on topics for which we had weeks to prepare. Bhavan Selvalingam had an exceptional season, gaining one 'best speaker' from his four debates. He was not only well supported by his Captains, who deservingly shared in 'best speaking' accolades, but also by the one-hit wonders: Osman Mewett, Moya O'Brien and Aaron Davies. We are all indebted to Ms Mahoney and Mr Whittle for their continued support, inexhaustible references and sometimes quirky insights to the debates at hand. While 1996 may not have produced finals competition, participation was the winner of every debate. We all have every confidence that 1997 has the potential to produce those elusive Geelong College debating champions.

CANBERRA

MATHS

TRIP

It was cold and dark when my alarm rang. It was one of those morning when I wouldn't even wake up if Humphrey B Bear decided to scream into my ear. But this time, I jumped out of bed because it was Thursday the 21st of June - the day that's bigger than Christmas... bigger than the Grand Final... it's the day that makes the Olympics look like a Year 10 Commerce project. It is the Canberra National Mathematics Day, when 36 schools from all over Melbourne converge on Caulfield Grammar for a battle to the death ...or 330, which ever comes first. This year, the College was represented by two teams. The College 2nds were made up of: Ken Chan, John Hedditch, Andrew Newlands, Caroline Nordang and Nicole Ronald. The College lsts were comprised of: Tommy Chan, Cameron Jeremiah, Benjamin Mitchell, Stephen Roberts and myself. The Canberra Maths Competition was divided into four rounds - the first one, the second one, the third one, and I can't remember what the last one was. Round 1 is the Group Round, when the whole team sits down and solves ten questions - exciting stuff. In Round 2, two teams sit in a circle and take turns guessing the next number in a number pattern. Even if you don't win this round, you're still in with a good chance for Saturday's Tattslotto draw. Round 3 was the Cross Number Puzzle, which is exactly like a crossword puzzle, except that it's not. Round 4 was the relay, when the team is split up in two, and you take turns solving questions. Now, for the past seven years, Melbourne Grammar has been winning the Canberra Maths comp by miles. But this year, College lsts surprised everyone by leading for a while, and settling in at 2nd position by the lunch break. The College 2nds took some time to settle down, but finished well, soaring up the ladder in the round. The good news is - Melbourne Grammar didn't win. The bad news is -neither did we. Wesley came first, Melbourne second, College lsts in fourth position and College 2nds came sixth. With both our teams finishing high up, the Geelong College is now recognised as a force in the competition. Thanks must go to Mr. Hibbard and Ms Selke, for taking us to Melbourne and back. And thanks also for their support throughout the day. I'd also like to add that the College 2nds were the 2nd highest placed Year 11 team overall, so I look forward to them returning with the trophy next year. BHAVAN SELVALINGAM

CELEBRATION

CENTURY

We often applaud the tangible and 'the product' in schools, rarely do we - for this is much more difficult - applaud the process or the unseen. Yet it is the process and the unseen which teaching is really all about. Who ever - amongst one's teaching colleagues, for instance - has a chance to see the really fine lesson? Who ever - amongst one's fellow students shares in the moment of realisation when a particular concept or theory or problem suddenly becomes clear? Probably no-one. Yet those moments are there everyday, perhaps every lesson. And so it is with this report. Applauding the tangible, the 'see-able', the product. But applaud we should, for this year the History Department and the Year 9 students combined to produce something special - A Celebration of a Century'. As part of the National History Challenge, the Year 9 staff and students set out to capture one hundred years of history through the medium of drama. The idea was that students would research a particular slice of time from the past one hundred years, write a script about it and then present it as a piece of theatre. These 'slices' would be presented in chronological order and 'voila': a century of Australian History. The night of August 9th arrived, (far too quickly for any of us). The Morrison Hall was full of parents, staff, students and our three judges - Ms Annie Edmonds, Mr Bas Clark and Mr John Cantwell. (John is a member of the Education of History Teachers' Association of Victoria and the State Co-ordinator of the National History Challenge). Backstage, students were nervously preparing. Curtain up! What followed was an entertaining, informative, at times funny/sad/moving performance. Certainly the students enjoyed themselves and will look back on their Year 9 History fondly because of it. The audience seemed quite taken with the concept and responded warmly. History will record that Mr Gareth Gilby's class - who performed the First World War (!) - won first prize, and worthy winners they were. However, 'winning' had a larger meaning that night. Particular thanks must go to the staff of Year 9 History for their enormous effort in producing such an extraordinary vehicle for their subject. Thanks also to our judges, Mr Salen for lighting, and Mrs Coral Carroll for taking such fine photographs. ANDREW GIBSON - Head of History

THE

DEAKIN

MATHEMATICS

UNIVERSITY COMPETITION

On Monday 12th August, two teams of five Year 10 students went to Deakin University to contest the 1996 Deakin University Mathematics Competition, 290 students from 33 schools competed. The contest was held at two locations, the Geelong and Warrnambool campuses of Deakin, the results linked by a telephone/computer hook-up. Team 1 from the College, consisting of Melissa Tan, Andrew Poh, Lachlan Strong, Peter Ryan and Craig Smith won the overall competition very comfortably. They finished first in each of the four team events except one, where they finished a narrow second to the Geelong Grammar Team 1. Team 2 consisting of Nicki Gunawardana, Anna Parker, Adam Collyer, Eliza Newson and Peter Sullivan finished tenth out of the 48 teams that competed. In the individual section, Lachlan Strong won (best out of 290 hand picked students!) with Melissa Tan a very creditable ninth. The competition has been running for about eight years and College has won five of the seven years it has entered. MR D HIBBARD - Head of Mathematics

GEOGRAPHY YEAR

FIELD

TRIP

Sunday morningl2th May (Mothers' Day) we rose from our beds in time to catch the 6.00 am bus leaving the Talbot Street gates. We had some doubts about our Geography Field trip and didn't really know what to expect. We drove to King Saddle on Mount Stirling overlooking the Delatite Valley. The weather was poor and getting worse. Predictions promised no improvement throughout the day. We began our long journey up to the summit of Mt Stirling where we stopped for lunch. From Stirling we did a tough walk over to Mt Buller through plenty of mud and pouring rain. Mr Claringbold and Mrs Foley continued to teach us about the changing environments of the two mountains and future developments which may take place. The last stretch was gruelling but we made it to the bus, drenched. A decision was then made not to climb to the summit of Mt Buller as the weather was too bleak. We then headed back to Merrijig and booked into our accommodation at Merrijig Lodge. As usual there was the hustle and bustle for rooms and room-mates. Once we had settled we enjoyed a well deserved plate of lasagna, followed by apple pie and ice cream. After dinner we could either play table tennis, or pool, watch TV or sleep. On Monday morning we all woke up early anticipating the horse-ride through the Howqua Valley with Chris Stoney and his horses. After getting acquainted with our horses at Stockyard Creek we rode off for a day's fun and learning. Charlie Lyon was destined to ride by himself as his horse continually charged, kicked and bit every other horse in its sight. Goose, trying to be the Man from Snowy River charged off, but his enthusiasm came to an abrupt end as his horse ran into a tree. Throughout the day we again looked at how environments have changed and what future developments might be. To end our six hour horse ride we had a chance to show off our bushman-style riding as we galloped through the rugged terrain. Having experienced a slice of Alpine life, we ventured home caked in mud and with very stiff limbs. That night we viewed some of Chris Stoney's video tapes and realised how far from being mountain cattlemen/women we are. After dinner a select group of rebels had the chance to enter the subzero conditions of the lodge pool in between a sauna and a spa. Most students fell into bed, exhausted, at a reasonable hour. Mrs Foley and Mr Claringbold were quite relieved about this. Day Three was a visit to the Geelong Grammar School's - Timbertop. Here we met with the Headmaster and had a tour of the school. Dane Callanan told us of his experiences at the school. After Timbertop we visited a sawmill in Mansfield, one of the few left. We then headed home to Geelong. A great time was had by all.

YEAR

LITTLE

FIELD

TRIP

THE

DESERT

Throughout the weeks prior to the Little Desert camp, Yr 11 Biology students had their imaginations coloured by warning about a man called 'Whimpey', a mallee fowl and sleepless nights due to hours of work. These images became reality on the first weekend of Term 2. Rooms of four were claimed eagerly on arrival at the lodge, yet not a second was available for a quick kick of the footy, as we found ourselves back on the bus, heading for Whimpey's mallee fowls. Whimpey was everything that the other year levels had described; an enthusiastic man, passionate about this Little Desert and everything in it, especially the very rare mallee fowl. Back at the lodge we went on a lengthy but brisk walk through the preserved vegetation. We finally saw a mallee fowl, although it was in captivity. It was a relief to finally see one of these things that had been spoken of so highly. Relief also arrived for those suffering footy withdrawal, but not for long as dinner was served promptly. Without being too critical of the food, the rest of us were comforted by the fact that even the boarders were complaining. After dinner we viewed an educational (and interesting for Little Desert lovers) video reinforced with some slides. 'Work! Whenever you have a spare second just work', we had been warned by ex Year 11 biologists. So most of us did just that. Copious amounts of tea, coffee, milo and chocky were consumed in order to keep our brains functioning for the hours to follow. At about 12 o'clock we were advised to go to bed, so as to make it through the next day and night. Although the days were warmish the nights were extremely cold and we were relieved to discover electric blankets that save us from freezing to death.

from others. After another trip in the ambulances we found ourselves at the river Red Gum Swamp. After a well deserved lunch of hot dogs and fruit we were faced with more work as we studied the flora and fauna in the area. We were also able to watch as Whimpey displayed his skilful bird banding talents. When we arrived back at the lodge we could have all easily crawled into bed after our exhausting day, yet this was not possible as the hours of work required to complete our assignments had not even begun. Throughout these solid, and tedious hours, our only saviour was our large supply of chocolate, coffee and milo. Yet as the night wore on, cries of joy could be heard as each exhausted person completed their Work Requirement. With some time remaining before lights out, we were able to meet the gypsy-like people who were camping near the lodge. Soon the teachers were encouraging us to go to bed for some much needed sleep. Some of the night owls who didn't take their advice found themselves very tired the next morning as they fronted up for breakfast duty just after seven a.m. Sunday morning was spent packing bags and handing in work before heading out on our last walk through the Little Desert to test out how much we had learnt during the past two days in the area. After the walk and a pie for lunch, we were on the bus. We were tired, relieved and ready for home after our big weekend at the Little Desert. ALISON MACMILLAN and GEORGIE WALKER

Saturday morning seemed to be nice weather, but it was one of those mornings which made it hard for us girls to decided whether to wear shorts or trackies. Having solved this important problem we quickly had breakfast then boarded ex-army ambulances for a day in the desert. Our journey was certainly an experience as we made friends with our drivers, while our stomachs were adversely affected by the long, bumpy ride through the desert. Our destination was the heathland where we were to complete the tedious task of mapping out a transect. This involved learning all of the names of the various plants, some of which were very hard to distinguish Libby McMillan, Susie Colless, Alison Macmillan compare transect notes

WOLLANGARRA No electricity? No TVs? No 'Party of Five' or 'MP'? No lights? How will we survive? Over 170 Year 9s experienced the pioneer lifestyle in Wollangarra's 'Meeting the Mountains' program. Some have since revisited Wollangarra and still more have developed a bond with the staff at Wollangarra. To others, the experience was just too foreign. Situated in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range near Licola in Gippsland, on the banks of the McAllister River, Wollangarra has been built from second hand materials by young people, for young people. Every camp has had its highlights and excitement with the varying weather patterns. Students have experienced exhausting heat, lightning strikes, hail storms, bright sunny days, frosty mornings and freezing nights thus proving the unpredictability of the outdoors. The daily chores range from washing dishes, to woodchopping, shovelling manure, clearing blackberries, constructing roofs, riding in Jean, moving Milnie, playing with Howie, avoiding Snots, baking bread or munchies, preparing meals, laying bricks, feeding chooks, swimming, playing guitars or Wollamarugby, stoking the fire or just generally helping. The three day hike is physically challenging but breathtaking, fun but informative, exciting but calming. The shower is heavenly and refreshing, and the food is satisfying. The staff are silly but endearing, funny but educational: believers in young people. The bus ride is long and boring but it is a chance to reflect on the moments and movements around the mountains, that is Wollangarra. MRS T PORTER

A MORNING AT WOLLANGARRA It's cool, but humid. It's dark, but there is light. Where's the light? It's out of sight. The birds are singing, but it's still quiet. The morning's peaceful, the day's a riot. The leaves are rustling, but there is no noise. The wind is blowing, but it is not cold. The sun is rising, the day is arriving.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME A number of students at various year levels are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. This year we have seen students complete the award at Bronze and Silver level. Students undertake activities in four areas - community service, physical recreation, development of a skill and expeditions. The amount of time required in each area depends on the level of the award being taken. The first three students to complete the award since its introduction to the College were Anna Parker (Year 10), George Taylor (Year 12) and Richard Mason (Year 12). Anna assisted with care of patients in a nursing home, undertook a season of netball, spent time learning about cooking and preparing a number of special meals as well as hiking to Lake Tarli Kalng (at Wollangarra) and in the local district working with a Greening Australia project. George used his involvement in the school drama program as his skill, played football for the College, planted many thousands of trees in his community service project and took part in a number of bicycle expeditions on the Great Ocean Road and in the Western District, spending nights in woolsheds on a number of properties. Richard spent many hours honing his woodworking skills at the HOG, helped with a number of conservation projects at the Serendip Bird Sanctuary, played hockey for the College and joined George in the bicycle expeditions. At the time of writing we still have a number of people working on their Bronze and Silver Awards with one Year 12 student, Victoria Thornton, planning to finish off her Gold Award. EXPEDITION TO KOSCIUSKO NATIONAL PARK The practice expedition - James Dowling and I, along with Julian Reichl and Mr Hibbard, made the journey from Albury, where we had been involved in an Easter weekend hockey competition, to the relative coolness of the Kosciusko National Park. Based at the Guthega Ski Club, James and I, the award participants, completed our last minute preparations before the actual hike. In confirmation of Mr Hibbard's prediction it snowed, ruining any hopes of completing our planned hike. Our plans were to hike from Guthega to Mt Kosciusko, climb to the top, walk along the ridge, and back to Guthega. But with relatively thick snow and cool conditions, we were forced to change our route and undertake a shorter trip, departing that afternoon. The time in between was not wasted. The covering of snow was sufficient to go tobogganing. Setting out from the ski club, we climbed and set up camp on top of the ridge. Because of the thick fog, the otherwise spectacular view was reduced to a fifty metre span. That night we spent huddled around the "Trangia" trying to cook and thaw out our frozen feet at the same time. When the fog came up the next morning, we went for a short walk before returning to the camp site to pack up the tents. The hike

home was a very enjoyable one, fundamentally because it was all down hill, but also because as the fog cleared we were able to enjoy the amazing view from the ridge. We look forward to the remaining expeditions! TOM BRIDGES BRISBANE RANGES A Gold Award Practice Expedition The aim of this trip was to brush up on camping skills and explore an area new to the members of the group. Although the weather was far from favourable we managed to discover some beautiful scenery around the Brisbane Ranges. We stopped on the way to Boar Gully at Steiglitz, an old ghost town. The old court house and some of the churches remain. We completed the 'Discovering old Steiglitz walk,' which took us around 25 sites of historic buildings. There was still strong evidence of old mines on the side of the hills. We then headed off in the direction of Stony Creek picnic area, where we could walk through Anakie Gorge. The rocks were impressive as we wound our way along a small creek. We observed severe flood damage that in some places had completely washed away the bridges that crossed the creek. We then decided to climb up the side of the gorge in order to look at the spectacular views extending on either side of the gorge. Back at the car we found we were unable to take the track through to the camping ground due to flood damage and we were forced to retrace our steps. Arrival at the camp site brought with it the rain. We pitched our tents quickly and collected some wood in order to start the fire. Several attempts later we managed to get it going and with much relief we were able to put the billy on to boil. We sat around the fire watching the stars until the clouds covered them and once again the rain began to fall. We made our way to the tents where I was grateful for a sleeping bag designed for the cooler side of 10c. As the tent began to cool our woollen jumpers remained on as we cursed ourselves for forgetting our beanies. But we survived the night and welcomed eggs and bacon for breakfast. Having got to the camp site later that expected we decided to head off into the rain to explore our surroundings. We were surprised to find houses less than 50 metres away. We discovered an old cemetery that we wandered through. It had been left to waste away. Some of the old tombstones showed families that had lost up to five children, within a short period of time. It showed the suffering that people went through during the hard times. Although the weather was not in our favour the weekend was successful. We managed to walk approximately 13 kilometres. VICTORIA THORNTON (Victoria expects to complete her Gold Award by Speech Day 1996 and will receive it from the Governor at a special reception in March. Her test expedition is a 4 day hike in the Mt Buller/Howqua River area).

ARTS

WEEK

SEPTEMBER 10 -13, 1996 Art is alive and well at The Geelong College! For four days Arts Week transformed Morrison Hall into a hive of creative activity, as staff, students and parents participated in an exciting range of hands-on activities. Wood chips flew, paint and ink flowed, and clay was moulded! Great communal works of art grew and covered the walls! Arts week was officially opened by Dr Turner at the Tuesday morning Assembly. As a 'jump start' to the week's activities, the Department presented a multi-media 'event' which included a computer generated 'data show', a short video of Year 10 students working in class on a typical day in the AGC, slides and overhead projections, and costumed 'touters' casting lollies into the audience, and all this to the rhythms of music by the rock band, Nirvana. As a marketing exercise, the 'sound and light show' at assembly must have succeeded, as attendances at Arts Week were very encouraging. The Tuesday lunchtime saw two to three hundred students in Morrison Hall, with similar numbers participating over the rest of the week. The major drawcards were our two Artists in Residence, Mr Scott Sloan (OGC'72) and Mr Alistair White (OGC'68). Scott is a renowned caricaturist, while Alistair is one of Australia's foremost porcelain potters. Scott set up in the middle of the hall, and had a never-ending stream of sitters for his on-the-spot caricatures, while under Alistair's tutelage students turned out an array of miraculously well-crafted bowls and vases! Both Scott and Alistair also worked with Year 9 and 10 students in the AGC during afternoon classes. With the emphasis on hands-on participation, students could experience a range of activities. Mr David Andrews showcased some of the outstanding computer animated sequences produced by his year 12 students, as well as inviting students to screenprint and hand-colour their individual section of a large mural which 'grew' into a huge stylised image of an eye. Under the direction of Mrs Jan Mitchell a mural-sized, screenprinted and sewn wall hanging also grew over the four days. Mr Phillip Taylor and Ms Jenny Ross introduced students to woodtuming and carving and joinery. Each also 'coached' a team in a sculpture competition in which two groups of ten Year 10 students created a 'junk sculpture' on the theme of 'The Eye'. Mr Terry Egan, ably assisted by Alistair Whyte, gave impromptu lessons in throwing and turning pots on an electric wheel, and Mr Greg Smith oversaw the production of a mural painting constructed from 186 separate tiles, each painted by a participating student.

Dr Pauline Turner, Mr Greg Smith

The most gratifying aspect of Arts Week was to see the enthusiastic support it received from the student body, and to witness their excitement as the various artworks took form over the course of the week. Given that its aim was to 'bring the arts to the people', the week's activities were a resounding success. Arts Week is to be an annual event on the College Calendar, with next year's planned forWeek8ofTerm3. The best recommendation for Arts Week came from a Year 10 student. When Ms Jenny Ross asked her class how Arts Week might be improved, one student replied, 'Have an Arts Fortnight!'. MR G J SMITH

SUNRISE ON JAPAN The golden sun spreads her wings, preparing for the long journey up. She hits the surface, enlightening a beautiful city, our sister city. She brings morning to the masses riding their bikes, and the children walking to school. She lights up the tiny houses with their clotheslines on the balcony, the high-rise offices, and the green rice fields stuck in the middle of suburbia. She touches the many cars, racing and impatient, beeping their horns for no apparent reason. She reaches out to the traditional shrines and the glorious temples, then moves on, to the busy, modern and illuminated city. Then, she stretches, and touches the schools of Izumiotsu, our sister schools. And she feels the warmth, generosity and kindness of students, teachers, parents and friends who touched our hearts.

JAPAN A country of stunning contradiction. The juxtaposition of starkly modern architectural feats, industrial complexes and traditional wooden homes, serene gardens and contemplative vistas in splendid isolation. Perpetual traffic and confined spaces. Hospitality that is overwhelming in its warmth and generosity and the hand of friendship that is extended. Visual and sensory experiences that will remain with us forever. An opportunity to gain an insight into a vastly different culture and to celebrate ceremonies and festivals. Izumiotsu - our 'sister city' - the source of many wonderful experiences and memories in 1996. MRS CORAL TURNER

ROWING

GIRLS - CAPTAIN OF BOATS The 1995/96 senior girls rowing season started in fourth term on the Barwon with the floods attempting to wash the half finished boat shed down stream. The floods also considerably shortened our time to select crews and train. In December, at the conclusion of the academic year, we invaded the otherwise deserted town of Falls Creek for a five day rowing camp. This was a great chance for the Boat Club to develop friendships and improve our skills in the boats. The dramatic change in altitude to 1700 metres didn't seem to dramatically affect the rowers in their training activities during the camp. All accepted the challenge with a good attitude, and before long, we were faced with the summer holiday and a heavy fitness schedule. Upon our return to school, much illness and injury prevented the settling of senior crews until three weeks before the Head of Schoolgirls' 1st IV Regatta. During this time girls were continually being shuffled and racing was put on hold for some. Crews other than the 1st TV, had at least a few chances to race before the Head of Schoolgirls, but as the results suggested we were clearly behind many other crews. In fact no girls' crews, junior or senior won their 'A' final at the Head of Schoolgirls, although the Year 10 1st TV came very close and the senior 5th and 6th crews came 2nd in their finals. These represented the best results for the weekend. Next came the Head of the River, the last chance to compete for the season. Here, an outstanding effort was made by all crews with three out of the five senior TVs coming first in their respective 'A' finals. Congratulations must especially go to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th IVs for winning this ultimate title and to the 5th IV who came 2nd in their final. After a solid performance, the 1st TV came 3rd to very polished Geelong Grammar and Carey crews and in

2nd IV

doing so took 40 seconds off their Head of Schoolgirls time, set only one week before. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the team of senior and junior coaches for all their time, patience and enthusiasm throughout the season. Without their commitment to the Boat Club, our crews would have had no hope of doing as well as they did this year. Also, thanks to Mrs Lethbridge and Mr Morris for their support and wonderful organisation during the season. This has been very much appreciated by all involved. Finally, thanks to the very patient group of parents who have put up with us during the hectic season. Good luck to next year's crews. With the good depth in the Boat Club, I'm sure the girls will again perform exceptionally well! Success is not necessarily winning the race, rather it is the 'way' in which it is rowed. BRONWYN GALBRAITH GIRLS 1ST IV The 1995/96 1st IV rowing season has been nothing short of dramatic, with setbacks that have included injuries and chronic illnesses during the course of the season. This bumpy road started in fourth term on the Barwon with the floods playing havoc with training and crew selection. At the year's end we headed to Falls Creek for a five day camp followed by a heavy summer holiday training schedule prior to the post Christmas camp, on the beautiful Barwon. At this stage it was clear that Edwina Laidlaw had not recovered from an earlier injury and was unable to row for the rest of the season. The next hurdle was the Head of the Yarra. We survived this without too much drama, other than losing the bow ball in a collision. From here on our problems mushroomed. Megan Robilliard came down with glandular fever and was unable to row for the rest of the season. Again several crews were changed with only 3 to 4 weeks until the two major regattas. The final crew consisted of Simone Wookie (bow), Ellie Moreton (2), Georgie Walker (3), Bronwyn Galbraith (stroke) and coach Alan Darker. Our first 'serious' race turned out to be our heat in the Head of Schoolgirl's Regatta because of equipment failure and illness. Here we performed reasonably well, improving in each race. We won the petite final in a time which would have placed us 3rd in the major final of this regatta. We were to face the main regatta of the season, the Head of the River, with very little racing experience behind us. In Friday's heat we finished 2nd to Carey after being a length down with only 200m to go. Winning our semi on Saturday and improving on the previous week's time by 30 seconds, gave us a place in the 'A' final. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, we went out and rowed a time quicker by 6 seconds. Unfortunately it was still not fast enough to stick with the superb Geelong Grammar crew, nor that from Carey. However, we had progressed so much in such a short time that we felt the season was well worthwhile. Thank you Alan, for the dedication and patience throughout the frustrating times when nothing seemed to go our way. Thanks also to Mrs

GIRLS 2ND IV The 1996 rowing season was one of change, tears, teamwork and ultimately triumph for the 2nd IV, otherwise known as the Muckettes. With seat swaps and crew changes throughout the season, the 2nd girls were unable to train together as a crew until three weeks before Head of the Schoolgirls when the crews were finalised. During this time of change, valuable regatta experience passed us by and this was evident at Head of the Schoolgirls when we were knocked out in the semi finals. Next we had the Head of the River to look forward to. However, with less than a week to go we yet again experienced major change. Our trusted coach made every rower change seats in order to shuffle the cards and suddenly our bow became our stroke. With the final race in mind, undoubtedly Grammar was to be our toughest opponent. We had not beaten them during the season and had lost to them by a length and a half only a week earlier. This last change, however, proved to be the right decision when in the final we crossed the line a canvas ahead of Grammar. It was a race that saw us lead from start to finish, something quite unusual, but the race was not at any stage easy and it was only teamwork and great determination that made us victors. The winning Head of the River crew consisted of Libby Macmillan (bow), Natayla Morgan (2), Kate Urquhart (3), Melinda Tyack (stroke), and Nicole Holmes (cox). Stuart Purves was our coach. As noted, teamwork played a major part in our victory. In part, our inspiration came from a quote : 'Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organisational objectives. It is fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results'. We were common people who attained an uncommon result! The season not only saw our dreams become reality, but we also gained the special friendships that form between crew members, the memories that will not be forgotten. And we gained the Muckette t-shirts. On behalf of all the Muckettes I would like to thank our coach, Stuart Purvues, and our part-time coach, Matt Rice, for their valuable advice and encouragement. MELINDA TYACK-Stroke

GIRLS 3RD IV Season 1995 - 96 proved to be very successful and worthwhile for the 3rd IV. After months of crew changes with many different girls passing through, we ended up with five individuals coming together to form the 'green machine'. These were, Sally Thompson (cox), Lucy Young (stroke), Kristin Smith (3), Jacqueline Girvan (2), Felicity Scott (bow). We won several Barwon Regattas which prepared us for the tough competition of Head of School Girls! Unfortunately, at this meet we failed to reach the standard of some of the Melbourne girls' schools, especially St. 5th IV

GIRLS 4TH IV This season began the same way that every season has before it, with ergos and crew selections. The 3rd and 4th IVs combined to make an eight for the Head of the Yarra. This windy, 8km course tested not only the endurance of the rowers but also the ability of the cox to negotiate the course. Later in the season illness in a higher crew, resulted in rowers being reshuffled by the coaches in an attempt to create the best possible crews. As a result of this reshuffling, our coach decided not to attend the Scotch Mercantile or the Henley regattas. By the Barwon Regatta our new combination appeared to be working and we recorded a 2nd and 1st, much to the delight of the crew. The V.R.A. All Schools Regatta was probably the most difficult regatta that we had to row. Not only were we competing against other crews, but also against the remnants of a cyclone that had recently passed over Australia's North-West coast. Despite the strong winds and waves we were well placed in our first and only race of the day. We had only moderate success in the Head of the Schoolgirls' Regatta. We were placed 2nd in our first race which put us through to the repechage. Here we were placed first and proceeded to the semi-final; however, we were not fast enough to make the final. The Head of the River was the last and most important competition, but unlike the regatta before, there was no pressure to win our first race as all crews proceeded to the final. We had a fast start in the final and soon left Geelong Grammar and Wesley behind, with only Caulfield between us and the finish. Motivated by our cox yelling, 'It's our river, it's our race', we pushed through Caulfield to win by 11/2 lengths, in a fast time of 3 mins 39 sees, just outside the record. The crew included: Julia Broughton (bow), Anna Austin (2), Sally Steel (3), Nicole Raven (stroke), Natalie Wright (cox), Ken Struth (coach) NICOLE RAVEN - Stroke

GIRLS 5TH IV

BOYS - CAPTAIN OF BOATS

The 1996 rowing season has been a successful one for the mighty 5th IV. Despite various setbacks at the beginning of the season, our crew finally came together three weeks before the Head of the River and we reached our full potential just in time for our two biggest regattas. We came up against many very strong crews throughout the season, but the Schoolgirls and Head of the River regattas proved our hardest competition.

Every now and then on the great highway of life we come across a fork in the road. Do we turn left, do we turn right or do we turn back home with our tails between our legs, to the comfort zone that is 'normality? I, along with many of my crew members and friends, faced this fork in the road around four years ago. Do we keep on playing cricket and other strange summer ball games, or do we venture into the unknown and tackle the so called sport of 'rowing'. I considered myself to have a slight advantage over my fellow pupils when it came to making this decision. I had a brother who had rowed and therefore, I was an expert on the subject. I knew that if you rowed, you fell asleep at the table while doing homework and that rowing was a good way to socialise.

As the Head of the Schoolgirls' Regatta approached we felt confident following our defeat of the strong Geelong Grammar 5ths. We reached the semi-final but were marginally defeated by Ruyton. This behind us, we entered the final against Geelong Grammar. We lost narrowly but we were Geelong College's most successful senior crew over this weekend and we were pleased with our results. This defeat made us even more determined to beat Geelong Grammar in the Head of the River. We came up against an unknown Carey crew in our heat. Unfortunately they were too strong forcing us into the semi-finals. Here we won and now it was time for the biggest test of all, the final. Our coach psyched us up and we hit the water. The entire race was fought neck and neck with Geelong Grammar and Carey. Unfortunately, in the end, Geelong Grammar pulled away to win by a very small margin in a new APS record time. Despite this result, the crew was very pleased with the season's achievements. The crew would like to thank our coaches, Louise Minotti and Murray Johns for their positive attitudes and comments throughout the season and for their general help. Without them we would not have enjoyed such success. The crew consisted of Kelly Hughes (bow), Rieko Kimura (2), Caroline Renick (3), Jane Chisholm (stroke), Clare Hammond (cox) and coaches Louise Minotti and Murray Johns. JANE CHISHOLM - Stroke

GIRLS 6TH IV Despite the unsettled season of girls' rowing, the senior 6th IV performed well, recording a range of results. The final crew consisted of Matilda Hobba (stroke), Jane Billings (3), Jane Dennis (2), Georgina Hart (bow) and Isobel Laker (cox). Combined training with the senior 5th IV, gave us the advantage of competition and two coaches. With loads of encouragement from Louise Minotti and Murray Johns, our co-coaches, we became organised and determined. For the majority of the season we competed in the Women's Novice IV Division, recording mostly pleasing results at regattas on both the Barwon and Yarra. In our final competition of the season, the Head of the Schoolgirls, we competed in the fourth four, division three. In the heat we recorded a impressive win by eight boat lengths and came a narrow second in Genazzano.

GEORGINA HART Stroke

Rowing sure sounded like fun and with a simple tick of a sporting preference form, I and many of my discerning friends, signed away our lives to the relentless demons who call themselves rowing 'coaches'. I did not know that that tick would lead me into four of the best years of my life. People who have never rowed find it very hard to understand and relate to why we put so much time and effort into something that they call simply 'a school sport'. Little do they know that rowing is not a sport, rowing is not a game, rowing is something far more special and meaningful than almost anything I have come across, and to them I simply reply, 'only a rower knows the feeling'. The feeling of rowing in the stillness of the morning as your boat glides across the water parting the fog and sending ducks scurrying. The feeling of mateship and friendship that builds up amongst your crew as you work together to achieve the one ultimate goal. And the feeling of watching the starting line slowly disappear as you power down the course for the finish line. The end of an era has now come to Year 12 rowers, as not only did the 1996 rowing season come to an end, but so did our involvement in school rowing. Even though we will not row for the College Boat Club next season, our hearts and souls will be there. The rowers who will return next year should remember this. The fog that lies gently on the Barwon early in the morning doesn't just contain moisture for within that fog are the spirits of past rowers, the sweat and tears that rolled down their faces as they gave their all. This season overall has been a very successful one for the College and has shown the depth of the Boat Club. This year, College proved to the other APS schools that it is by far the strongest club as evidenced by the fine results in the Head of the River. To all the boys' crews, well done for the season and to the 3rds and 4ths boys especially, congratulations on your fine performances. Here, I would of course include the three junior crews that won their Head of the River at Carrum (the 6th VIII the Year 9 2nd VIII and the 3rd VIII), and all the remaining junior crews who finished in the top three places in that successful event. Well done also to the girls' crews on a fine year, and to all of you who are returning next season, I wish you the best of luck. Finally, I would like to thank the Head of Rowing, Mr Morris and Girls' Coordinator, Mrs Lethbridge, for their dedication and devotion to the Boat Club throughout the season. Without them and the efforts of the Junior Coordinator, Mr McLeod and the large team of dedicated coaches the College Boat Club would not be the powerful force *$ that it has become. I have greatly enjoyed being the Captain of Boats and would like to wish my successor the best of luck for the 1997 season. MARCUS SUTTON

3rd VIII

BOYS 1ST VIII With last year's 2nd VIII and two rowers from the '95 1st VIII, crew selection for the '96 crew was always going to be an arduous task. Nevertheless, after several weeks of rowing, the crew was settled for the season. With an average height of 191 cm and an average weight of 84 kg, the crew was the biggest APS team to hit the water. The crew consisted of Jeremy Miller, Marcus Sutton, Nick Burnett, Callan Tennabel, Clinton Mitchell, Bowen Lockwood (stroke) and Tim Ayerbe. It was coxed by Stuart Lethbridge and coached by Peter Philp. After heavy early training, the end of Term 4 saw us travel to Falls Creek for a rowing camp at altitude. Some 'oarsome' rowing and offwater training activities were completed before Christmas and the crew looked like it was destined for a successful season. After a seemingly short summer break and a sharp post-Christmas rowing camp on the Barwon we were ready to start Term 1. The next couple of weeks included long training sessions in preparation for the Head of the Yarra which included a sub 16:30 'swing-through' in dead still conditions. However the Head of the Yarra was to be a non-event as we never found a rhythm and the boat already felt heavy at the 1000m. This shock behind us, we started the sprint races the following week. We reached most of the finals in the regattas leading up to Head of the River. Highlights were a 1 metre loss to King's College at the Henley Regatta and a spot in the final of the Australian Rowing Championships in Sydney where we were eventually placed well behind the fast crews from NSW. Then the Head of the River finally came. Unfortunately our result did not reflect either the potential of our crew or our dedicated efforts. In the Friday heat we were 3/4 of a length clear of the eventual winners Carey, at the 500m, going through in a quick time of 1.20, but the rest of the race saw us fall apart. Even so, second place was enough to put us into the semi final where we came third by 1/2 a length to Scotch and Brighton. We went on in the B final, to record a second place to Caulfield. Thanks must go to the coach, Peter Philp, for his patience, tolerance and faith, Mr Lockwood, for his assistance with the mental side of training, Mr Morris for his help and organisation and Bob Morse for the reconstruction of our boat after numerous crashes. All the best to next year's crew.

BOYS 2ND VIII With the commencement of the 1995/96 season, eight boys, one cox and a mad coach by the name of Murphy were thrown together to uphold the glorious 'Muckies' tradition. Mentally this crew was the same as all Muckies crews, plenty of heart and courage and of course, the tendency to 'run amok'. Unfortunately, we were lacking physical size compared with some of our predecessors, and all other APS 2nd VIIIs. Training was well under way by the time the Falls Creek rowing

4th VIII

camp came around and this was the first occasion that the Muckies showed some real potential. By the end of the camp the crew was finalised as follows: Ayman Muhor (bow), Chris Eagles (2), Simon Steel (3), Thomas David (4), Patrick Milesi (5), Peter Betts (6), Nick Earl (7), James Pinnis (stroke) and Tim Harris (cox). With the first regatta of the season being the APS senior round robin regatta on the Barwon, it was time to see whether or not, as Murph put it, 'we were all talk'. Results showed we were not. In our first race, we annihilated our opposition by over two lengths, and recorded the fastest time for the day. Races two and three were much the same, with our only defeat by a very fast Brighton Grammar crew. It turned out that Melbourne Grammar was also up to speed and along with us, these two crews left all the other 2nd VIIIs for dead during the rest of the regatta season. By the time HOR came, we could say that all the hard work had been done, and that we were ready. This was further proved when we broke the 'Muckies' HOR record of 4:27, to become the fastest Geelong College 3rd VIII ever. Our heat was against Geelong Grammar and Brighton Grammar. Unfortunately in this race HOR nerves got the better of us and we came second, leaving us to row the repechage in the afternoon against Scotch College and Carey Grammar. Here we rowed a perfect textbook race to cruise to an easy victory by two lengths. In our semifinal against Melbourne Grammar and Geelong Grammar, we had an easy race and sat in second position all the way to conserve energy for the A final. After a massive psyche-up from Murph, we were ready to row the race of our lives against Brighton Grammar, Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College. With an excellent start, middle and end we crossed the line third, two lengths in front of a fantastic Melbourne Grammar crew, and took four seconds off the APS record. The crew would like to thank all the staff and parents who supported us through the season. Special thanks go to the coach, Richard Murphy not only for coaching us, but for teaching us more about ourselves. Lastly I would like to congratulate the whole crew on an outstanding season.

1st VIII

BOYS 3RD VIII n

I am sure that I speak for the whole crew when I say that the 1995/96 season was one that will be remembered for many years to come. The success that we enjoyed did not come cheaply. A great deal of hard work was put into the crew by everyone, including the coach. The crew was as follows: Tyson Leach (bow), Will Ritchie (2), Kam Benjamin (3), Nathan Seeckts (4), Rhys Bailey (5), Byron Henderson (6), Alesh Macak (7), Brad Duff (stroke), Duncan Hill (cox), and Andrew Cleary (coach). The start of the 1996 season came and it looked like there was not much potential for our VIII. However the Falls Creek rowing camp was the turning point. Here the 3rd VIII showed some of the talent that we had under our belts when we gave the lsts and 2nds a run for their money. From here we just kept on improving. The first regatta on the Barwon came and we staked our claim by achieving fast times in the first two races and winning them both. The third race, however we lost to Brighton. The next regatta provided little success. We just couldn't pull it together. However, following some success in shocking conditions on the Barwon where we won over Brighton, things started to come together with the dedication and co-operation that comes after many long hours on the water. We were ready for the Head of the River.

BOYS 5TH VIII The determined 5th VIII consisted of: Richard Selman (bow), Gareth Kent (2), Tom Allen (3), Nigel Anderson (4), Campbell Ferguson (5), Lachie Smeeton (6), Adam Lockwood (7), John Cotton (Stroke), Marcus Nation (Cox) and Adam Palmer-Morgan (coach). At the start of the season we set a goal to win the A Division Final in the APS Head of the River. When the big day came, we won the B division final in a time of 4 minutes 46 seconds and by a margin of two and a half lengths. Prior to this the 5ths enjoyed some encouraging results with a number of firsts and seconds in regattas on both the Barwon and Yarra. The final Head of the River result was a great credit to both the efforts of the crew and those of our coach, Adam Palmer-Morgan, who was always optimistic but sometimes frustrated by our performances. Our crew members are already looking forward to a bright rowing future at the College. JOHN COTTON - Stroke

Finally, the big day arrived. The first heat saw us come up against Scotch and Brighton. We managed to win this by a quarter of a length over Scotch. For this strong row, we earned the rest of the day off, which was probably just as well as we were all tired from the intensity of the race. Next came the semi-final where we had an easy draw with St Kevin's andXavier. We knocked these crews off by almost two lengths. The final came, and after a psyche-up talk from Andrew, we headed up to the start. The talk must have really got us going as we came out of the start strongly and stayed there all the way to the finish where we won by half a canvas. The time was 4 minutes 28 seconds - a new APS record that should stand for some years to come. BRAD DUFF - Stroke BOYS 4TH VIII We were called the 'Pirates', and we certainly lived up to the name. The beginning of the 4th VHI's season was a bit sketchy. All were keen to start what vigorous activities the future season held for us, but unfortunately a boat only holds eight rowers and like most crews at the start of the season, some changes had to be made. From then on it was all hard work with, of course, no play. Our crew was made up of: Andrew Bradbury (bow), Jonathan Van Hest (2), Nick Sanders (3), Luke Gunther (4), Matt Connell (5), Simon Ayerbe (6), Fletcher Bubb (7), Mark Hanna (8) and Andrew Swaney (cox). Last but not least was our great coach, Matthew Dingle, who once represented Australia and coxed an Australian fours team. Our crew was quickly knocked into shape by our coach. We started off the season not knowing who our real opposition was to be, but after a couple of regattas, we learned that it was Melbourne Grammar we would need to watch. Hence, the mission for the pirates was to sink the navy blues. By the time of the Head of the River, Melbourne Grammar had won the same number of races we had. Here, our first row was disappointing and Melbourne Grammar earned themselves a place directly in the semi finals. We redeemed ourselves in the pechage and semi-final, performing very strongly. In the A final, we rowed to the best of our abilities, and won the Head of the River and in doing so, broke the existing APS record by a few seconds. Sincere thanks must be given to our coach, Matthew Dingle, for training us to victory in his first of hopefully many coaching jobs with the Geelong College Boat Club.

CRICKET

1ST XI After going through the previous season undefeated premiers, high expectations were placed on this year's side. Unfortunately, the 1st XI was not able to live up to such expectations due to a mixture of inconsistent form and a general lack of experience. With our resolute coach, Mr Claringbold, in his maiden season, and a wealth of young talent, the team was keen to impress, but unfortunately lacked the vital winning formula. After displaying promising form in our early practice matches we were confident of at least being competitive against the more highly fancied Melbourne schools. Our hopes of making it back-to-back premierships were all but abolished when we lost two of our three matches before the Christmas break. An embarrassing defeat at the hands of arch rivals, Geelong Grammar, was most definitely the biggest disappointment of the season. One positive to come from these three rounds was a convincing victory over the hapless St Kevin's College. Alistair McArthur and Rod Crawford both showed signs of form with the bat, while Nathan Templeton proved successful with the ball, capturing four important wickets. With only limited practice over the holiday period we were unprepared for our first two games back, against a more professional Melbourne Grammar and a determined Brighton Grammar. We had two comprehensive losses. An outright loss to Brighton was due mainly to a brilliant century by the opposing side's captain. Our up and down season continued the following week with Nathan Templeton single-handedly leading us to an outright victory against a pitiful Wesley College. With a masterful display of pacey swing bowling he captured a season's best, 10 for 49. Alistair McArthur showed a much welcomed return to form knocking up an impressive 61. After such an astonishing victory the 1st XI was confident of defeating the powerful Xavier College, the following week. This ambitious aspiration almost became reality, but after several dubious umpiring decisions we were not able to hold out against Xavier, losing in a nailbiter by just one wicket. Sam King's determination and

consistency, displayed throughout the entire season, paid off with the remarkable figures of 4 for 30 from 23 overs. The remaining three rounds were played against an inconsistent Caulfield Grammar, the eventual premiers Scotch College and Carey Grammar. Little resistance was offered by the 1st XI in any of these matches and, as a result, three losses were recorded. Highlights from these rounds were minimal apart from the competent batting of Rod Crawford which culminated in an entertaining 48 against Scotch. The season produced few memorable moments, but special mention must be made of Nathan Templeton, who emerged as a potential sensation in APS competitions capturing 27 wickets for the season; Sam King for his dedication and Giles Craig for not only supplying entertainment but a fine performance behind the stumps. The future of Geelong College cricket looks bright with the number of younger players in this year's side. Their experience at firsts level should stand them in good stead for the seasons to come. On behalf of all Geelong College cricketers I would like to thank the head coach, Mr Claringbold, the master in charge, Mr Gilby, and all other coaches who made it such an enjoyable season for all involved. CAMERON O'BRIEN - Captain 2ND XI It's not easy when you are drawn to play Xavier three times during a season, and then for your sins, Scotch twice. But such was the spirit of this year's second XI that we faced the challenge and performed respectably. Against Scotch we made our highest scores for the year, and we were also able to peg Xavier back each time we played them. Lachie Urquhart scored most runs for the season , and James Paton captured the most wickets. The best individual scores with the bat were from Will Swinton (48 twice); Lachie Urquhart (61); Frank de Pasquale (58); Peter Morgan (46); and Luke Tamplin (34 n.o.). Julian Reichl was a dependable bowler, his best being 5/50 and Robbie Wettenhall had two 5 wicket hauls before being called to the firsts. Monty Hamilton began the season in sensational form with 6/25 against Xavier. We were a settled team for most of the year, and enjoyed some great fun on and off the field. Thanks to Archie Paton for his leadership as Captain.

The Second XI included:- Archie Paton (Captain), Matt Gilchrist, Andrew Barkley, Will Swinton, Peter Morgan, Julian Reichl, James Paton, Steve Cox, Lachie Urquhart, Frank de Pasquale, Paul Wallace, Huw Jones, Mark Purcell, Luke Tamplin, Jamie MacKay, Andrew Burns, Monty Hamilton, Hong Giang and Robbie Wettenhall.

4THXI

3RD XI Only four of the seven scheduled matches were played, due to unusually wet weather; however, excellent team spirit, a high level of enthusiasm and great leadership from Andrew Burns ensured a very rewarding season. We were defeated on three occasions, but our worst loss was by only 17 runs! Highlights. Our upper order batting was consistent: we didn't make many runs; however, our middle and lower order batsmen always came to the rescue. In the match against Caulfield Grammar, a dashing 31 runs by Dane Callanan together with dogged resistance from Liam Cochrane (18) and Tom Bridges (17) almost won us the match. Final scores: Caulfield 145, Geelong College 128. In our close encounter with Xavier, a lone hand from Jamie Mackay (37) nearly brought us victory. Jamie's swashbuckling performance was worthy of an adoring MCG crowd at the Boxing Day Test Match (Final scores: Xavier 101, College 91) ' There was yet another close result in our game against Melbourne Grammar School. Paul Wallace bowled superbly (3 for 16) and he was well supported by Joel Fuller (2 for 19). Sensational fielding almost gave us victory and Josh Willett's catching was a highlight. Victory could not elude such a valiant team for ever and our eventual conquest was Geelong Grammar. Joel Fuller took the extraordinary figures of 5 for 9, and the Grammar 'top' order was bowled out by Lachlan Watts (2 for 4). A batting bonanza followed with a furious flurry of runs from Josh Willett (37 ret.), Andrew Shaw (25) and Joel Fuller (24 n.o). (Final Score: College 138, Geelong Grammar 34)

MR I COCHRANE-Coach

A more diverse collection of characters you would struggle to find. Despite this, and only moderate success on the sporting field, the Geelong College 4th XI maintained an admirable combination of determination and enthusiasm throughout an often turbulent season. Although we failed to win a game, we often found ourselves playing 3rd and even 2nd XI players from APS schools. We did not let this daunt us, and in every game managed to have our more skilled and experienced opponents on the ropes. Wesley found themselves 5/36, Brighton 4/32, and St Kevin's 4/46. However, our inability to finish off the middle and lower orders, combined with the occasional extraordinary battling collapses, saw us consistently falter at the final hurdle. Nevertheless, all team members contributed strongly at various stages throughout the season. Leading the bowling attack were Lachlan Watts and John Hopkins,with 6 and 5 wickets respectively, they were capably assisted by Michael Bodey, and Joel Fuller and James Dowling. Tom Christensen ventured down from the 3rds for a cameo 5 wickets from the final two rounds. Although generally disappointing, our batsmen also gave us the highlights of the season, with Joel Fuller beginning with a spectacular 43, and Tom Christensen making a determined and at times brilliant 39 not out in the final round. Watts, Bodey, and Matthew Hayes were others who managed to reach double figures. Other commendable team performers were Nick Wotherspoon, Travis Nilson, Charles Lyon, Ewan Goddard, Monty Hamilton and David Fryman, while Tom Hurst was the team's ever dependable wicket keeper. Although not blessed with an abundance of talent, the 4ths had a thoroughly enjoyable season, and thanks must go to Mr Gilson for somehow finding the time and patience to coach us.

The victory against Geelong Grammar was the highlight of the season, with contributions being made by everyone; needless to say there was much jubilation after the game. Better players for the year included Paul Walters, Andrew Meek, Rohan Teasdale and Andrew Stephenson. Luke McPherson's Teggies' had them all baffled early in the season until injury ended his campaign.

Our '95/96 season did not bring the consistent success of many of the College's other sporting teams. It was however a great experience to be part of this team and what we learned will certainly increase the possibility of success in the years to come. While we always focused on our performances as a team, a few players deserve special recognition for their efforts throughout the season, Michael Hildebrand stepped up into the demanding position of opening bat. His grit and determination consistently gave the team the platform on which to build an innings. Simon Clark demonstrated that he was a class batsman and was somewhat unlucky not to make a big score during the season. Sam Christensen was our most consistent player and was rewarded with several games in the 1st XI. The highlight of our season was undoubtedly the game against Carey. After virtually two full seasons of one disappointment after another, we had set ourselves for this, the final game of the year. While everything did not go our way, almost every player stepped up to do his part when he was most needed and the victory that resulted is one that will live long in the memories of all present. The team consisted of Sam Christensen (Vice-Captain), Simon Clark, Adam Collyer, Andrew Costin, Jacob Fitzgerald, Michael Hildebrand, Andrew Knott (Vice-Captain), Robbie Macafee, Andrew Morphett, Peter Ryan, Craig Smith, Lachlan Strong and David Faris (Captain). Finally, I would like to wish the team the best of luck for the seasons to come and thank Mr Wood for his persistence and support throughout the season. DAVID FARIS - Captain

10B The lOBs struggled for most of the season against superior opposition. College lacked the skill and concentration to match other schools and played 8 games and only won 1. However their endeavour throughout the year could not be questioned.

The team consisted of: Paul Walters, Andrew Costin, Lucas Arnup, Aaron Darcy, Peter Ryan, Andrew Stephenson, Bradley Donaldson, Nathan Mayes, Luke McPherson, Andrew Meek, Rohan Teasdale, Lachlan Strong, Ben Waller, Andrew Morphet and Tim Clarke. MR GGILBY-Coach

9A Unfortunately, we finished the season with no wins and six losses and two of our games were cancelled because of bad weather. Each week everyone came out with a very sportsman-like attitude. James Polkinghorne kept wickets well during the season. He also opened the batting with great determination. The bowling was lead by Anthony De Pasquale and Alistair Munro. They were backed up by Andrew Smurthwaite, Rhett Parsons and James Cameron, who was very consistent all year and was our best bowler. He narrowly missed a hat-trick. While our batting was not up to the standard of the opposing teams there were flashes of brilliance from Alistair Munro, Simon Craig, James Polkinghorne and Tom Fallaw. The 9As team was: Anthony Depasquale, James Polkinghorne, James Cameron, Rhett Parsons, Andrew Smurthwaite, Alistair Munro, Simon Craig, Tom Fallaw, Jon Hildebrand, Tom Wettenhall, Sam Parsons, Richard Drummond, Alastair Randell, Tim Clarke and Steven Morgan. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr Clarke for his support and coaching during the season. STEVEN MORGAN - Captain

TENNIS

GIRLS 1ST VIII - PREMIERS AND CHAMPIONS This season's 1st tennis team had a lot to live up to after the premiership performance of the 1994/5 team. We had lost six players from the premiership team, and therefore our expectations were not high. Mr Young and Andrew Cameron were given the task of selecting a new team and were impressed to find promising talent within the younger years of the school. The new recruits were Errin Johnson (Year 11), Lori Cordingley and Simonne Le Grew (Year 10), Sarah Kelly (Year 9), and Marie Sinclair (Year 8). We began pre-season training with early morning sessions involving skipping, sprinting and occasional shouting from our coach, Andrew, to wake us up. The training was successful and we recorded three straight wins to commence the season against Caulfield, Wesley Prahran and Carey. At this stage it was time for holidays and we were in a better position than expected. At the beginning of every year we have a tennis camp involving three days of intense work to regain our fitness. This year's camp gave us the opportunity to learn more about one another, and to build team spirit. Our first match in the new year was played against the strengthened Wesley Waverley team. Our determination and consistent lower order helped to gain another victory. This match was followed by another four wins, and with two games until the end of the season we had secured the premiership. We were now aspiring to become champions, and were determined to play well in the final match against our long-time rivals, Geelong Grammar. Grammar was only able to deny us four sets, and the win was a fitting end to the season. The team consisted of a variety of age groups and personalities who worked together extremely well. Our achievements reflected the hard work and dedication put in during the season. Jacqui Dennis had a fantastic season and gained Best Player. She was a leader and used her experience to encourage the younger girls in tight situations. Jacqui always had a smile on her face and was a favourite among the team. Errin Johnson and Marie Sinclair were the quiet achievers of the team. They were both valuable players and are sure to continue their consistent performances in the future. Simonne Le Grew and Lori Cordingley both improved over the season and will help to strengthen the team in years to come. Eliza

Austin was a delightful team member, with a competitive edge and mature approach that made her a great asset to the team. Sarah Kelly was one of the youngest of the team, but certainly not one of the quiet members. Her spirited personality and enthusiasm kept us all entertained, and she was always determined to play her best. Sally Reid had the difficult task of filling the number one position. Sally's talent on the court was admired by all, and she was missed greatly when she came down with glandular fever halfway through the season. This season was a remarkable effort for all of the girls in the team and we are proud to have won the championship and premiership for the second year in a row. Our determination and team spirit made us stand out from the other schools and contributed immensely towards our achievements. We would like to thank Mr Young and Andrew Cameron for having faith in us throughout the season and for their marvellous support. We also wish the girls good luck for next season, and hopefully they can make it a 'hat trick'. Team: Sarah Case, Clare Haylock, Jacqui Dennis, Errin Johnson, Eliza Austin, Lori Cordingley, Simonne Le Grew, Sally Reid, Sarah Kelly, Marie Sinclair. SARAH CASE and CLARE HAYLOCK - Co Captains GIRLS 2ND VIII

The 2nd VIII again had an extremely successful season. They were determined to maintain their record of the '95 season, and won substantial victories in most of their matches. The only school which provided a close contest was Geelong Grammar, against whom both matches were well fought. After losing their first match narrowly against Geelong Grammar, they went on to win the last match of the season, by the convincing margin of 8 sets 71 games to 4 sets 51 games, thus ending the season on a high note. All other matches against Melbourne schools were easily won. The girls played extremely well during the season. It has been a very settled team, with regular members Renee Fagg, Andrea Snow, Amanda Coutts, Georgia Reid, Prue Messenger, Anna Kelly, Anthea Neunhoffer, Claire Thompson, Caroline Hadley and Alison Macmillan. As all regular team members are in Year 12, we would like to thank them for their contribution to tennis at Geelong College, and for their competitiveness and fair play during the season, and wish them every success in the future.

GIRLS 3RD & 4TH VIIIS The 3rd and 4th VIIIs both played in the same grade this season, and both VIIIs entered strong teams. Unfortunately, there were a large number of byes, and many of the College's able and experienced tennis players were unable to play Saturday matches. The 3rds were defeated by Geelong Grammar's 3rds. Other matches were marred by forfeits. Players for the 3rds during the season were Clare Keith, Kirin Yee, Lisa Oldham, Kate Armstrong, Jane Cox, Pip Varley, Silvia Ciach, Ariane Cances, Emily Simms, Sarah Cox, Anna Kelly, Alison Macmillan, Vicki Thornton, Cassie Barr, Katie Kwok, Kate Broom and Melissa Kosky. In the few matches that were held for the 4ths, it was only Geelong Grammar School who proved too strong for us. College had an especially strong win over Wesley, 11 sets to 1. As well as those involved with the 3rds, Natalie Green, Rebecca Griffiths, Benita Bunting, Claire Clayton, Lizzie O'Brien, Kate Carey and Alicia Peardon played with the 4ths. Thanks to all the girls who participated during the season. It can be seen from the long list that there are many competent players in the College, and it is to be hoped that more matches will be played next year. MRS J COGHILL and MRS J NELSON GIRLS INTERMEDIATE A Once again the girls A tennis team at the intermediate level had a highly successful season. This was reflected in our strong performance as we only lost one match; the last of the season. The permanent members of this team included: Angela Gibson, Amanda Steel, Victoria Bennett, Charlotte Paton, Emily Kilpatrick, Leah Marriner, Kate Fitzpatrick and Joanna Tough. We were also fortunate to have Simonne Le Grew play for us on a couple of occasions. The convincing wins which we recorded over our opposition were a credit to the strong, determined performance of all team members. We consistently outplayed our opponents, especially from the baseline, and were highly successful in the doubles matches. There were also many outstanding individual performances in singles matches. All girls are to be congratulated for a great season's work and it was a pleasure to be associated with such a fine group of young women. MRS C MATTHEWS - Coach GIRLS INTERMEDIATE B Team: Sarah Carey, Louise Brown, Timea Partos, Rosemary McKay, Ellen Begely, Clare Jackson, Peta Williamson, Carrie Moore, Catherine Leighton, Ilaiza Kamil, Edwina Dethridge. After long, often hot and very strenuous training sessions with Mrs Carroll, we were ready for a season that was to prove to be challenging but quite enjoyable. We were amazed by the enormous variation in the skill of the opposition we faced. At times we had to advise on where to stand and how to serve and at other times we were blinded by brilliance. We started off the season at the end of '95 with a small select band, this was to be added to at the beginning of '96 by a group of new Year 9s who made some of us fight hard for our place on the team. The season was a successful one in that we won more matches than we lost. A highlight was certainly our win against Wesley at the Institute of Sports' courts in Melbourne. The day was perfect, the facilities unbelievable and the kiosk well stocked. Inspired, we played the best we were to play for the season. A lowlight has to be the defeat we suffered at the rackets of the Geelong Grammar team in the final match. They played extremely well and we matched them until the final set, only to be defeated by a game or two. We were not helped by the fact that it was Head of the River day and our thoughts were far from the Grammar courts. It was a good season despite the disappointments and everyone is to be commended for giving 100% in training and on Saturdays. Special thanks go to Mrs Carroll for being there. SARAH CAREY

BOYS 1ST VIII This was a season of mixed blessings. Training began in week two, Term 4, and with it the process of arriving at singles rankings and pairings for the doubles. For various reasons - family and other commitments, injury, trying to sort out the doubles pairs - the side changed from week to week for much of the season. It was really only in the last two matches that we found the optimum composition and consequently, played our best tennis for the season. The side won two matches; one against Geelong Grammar and the other against Carey Grammar. The latter was won in the last match in Term 4 and the former in the last match for the season. We were good finishers. Between these wins were obviously a number of losses. While I do not wish to dwell on these other matches, nor trot out old cliches, they were 'character-building' experiences. Throughout, the boys maintained a meritorious equanimity, enthusiasm and good humour. Brushing off the previous week, they went into each new match with the same determination to make every point count, to do their best for team and school. Josh Considine fulfilled his responsibilities as a captain admirably. Being placed consistently at number one or two, he was in the firing line against some very stiff opposition, and performed creditably throughout the season. Ben Broad was a stalwart of the side, winning consistently in both singles and doubles (with Ross Johnson). Cam McCallum and Nick Farr should be congratulated for consistently making it to training (from Inverleigh and Bannockburn respectively), for a 7.30 am start each Wednesday and Friday. Both showed an unwavering commitment to training and playing as members of the team. Cam was also very good at lifting the spirits of the side, always finding the positives where others could not. Marcus Curypko played in every match, a committed member of the side. Tom Davis played in all but the last match, contributing well throughout the season, especially in his singles sets against Brighton and Wesley. Ross Johnson also played in all but one match, and made a purposeful contribution in both singles and doubles. He and Ben Broad won consistently as the number 3 pair. Scott Sinclair played six matches, his never-say-die approach being an inspiration to the rest of the side. Congratulations to Scott for winning the Most Improved Player Award for the season. Tae Kim also played in six matches, putting in some gutsy performances against much older players, and winning more often than not. Ben Jarman and Matt Goldsworthy made valued contributions, stepping into the breach when needed. While the 1995-96 season was not one of glory, it did provide the opportunity for eleven boys to train and work towards a common goal, to experience the rigours of top-level competition and to grow as young men in the process.

Mr Whittle and Mr Manwaring must be thanked for their time and

BOYS 2ND VIII It was not a season to remember with great satisfaction. Two matches were cancelled owing to cold and unseasonably wet weather, the practices were similarly disrupted and the much needed momentum was hard to establish. Some College players won some of their matches, but not many, and .not often. Tom Lawler after showing good form ran into knee problems, and twice, against reasonable opposition, important players were unavailable. Against Carey in our last match of the season we had a chance to take out the victory, but we lost our last two singles matches on the courts at Talbot Street, and the season was over. Three times, at sunrise, we rode the early morning bus to Melbourne (or further) and then rode the mid-afternoon bus back and the only dependable highlight of the day was the obligatory meal at Macca's. Against Geelong Grammar and against Carey we had our hopes up when College won half or more of our doubles matches, but we went through the season without a single team win, and were at times, as against Scotch, seriously crushed by the opposition. The season's high point was undoubtedly the way the players continued to give every one of their matches their very best efforts. Playing regularly for the College 2nds were: Stephen Roberts, Andrew Robertson, John White, Michael Silcock, Ben Jarman, Hamish McLean, Wes Cordingley, Tom Anderson, Andrew Fleetwood, Stuart Reeve, and Tom Lawler. MR M WHITTLE BOYS 3RD VIII The Geelong College 3rd tennis team had an enjoyable season although we did not enjoy a huge amount of success. A constantly changing team made it difficult for us to settle in and we encountered strong opposition throughout the season. Although we lost all but one match, we did have some good games during the season, coming close to victory against Wesley and Brighton. Tim Lamb and George Taylor combined well while Andrew Fleetwood, Stuart Reeve, Hamish MacLean and Tom Lawler often prevented the embarrassing situation of a twelve set to love defeat. Other players to appear in the thirds included Dan Weddell, King Jin Seah, John White, Michael Brussel, Ross Watson, Ben Abbott and Ron Frim who all participated enthusiastically. Despite the limited success we had on the tennis court we all enjoyed the social aspect of the season.

effort, for the season would not have been the same without them. CAMERON JEREMIAH - Captain

BOYS 4TH VIII The 4ths tennis team had an extremely successful season, finishing undefeated in the eight matches that were played. The strength and consistency of many players ensured that our top position would not be threatened by any opposition. Although this feat went virtually unrecognised, players were nevertheless very satisfied with their performances and the well deserved premiership. The team changed continually throughout the season, and therefore consisted of many players. Exceptional performances were achieved by Tim Lamb, Scott McDonald, Matthew Gudykunst, George Taylor and William Lewis. The determination and improving tennis skills of the other players also contributed to the strength of the 4ths. These players included Ashley Wong, Tom Billings, Campbell Hobson, Matthew Spokes, Andrew Lambert, Digby Smith, Dion Soehartono, Peter Howie and Ellis Davies. The effort and time which our coach, Mr Whittle, put in has been very much appreciated by all players on the team, and we thank him greatly for his leadership and commitment. This season has been enjoyed immensely by all and we hope that next year's team will be just as successful and satisfied as ours has been. KING JIN SEAH BOYS 10A The 10A tennis team's 1995/ 96 season was a very enjoyable one for all involved, although our losses far outnumbered our wins. This year's team consisted of: Adam Carlson, Jacob Clark, Solomon Collins, Tim Farquharson, Cam Hamilton, Robert Macafee, Lachlan McCallum (Captain), Ben Nancarrow, Matthew Ota, Alex Peh, Scott Sinclair, Peter Sullivan and Angus Ward. The season started with a trip to Haileybury for our first loss. We also lost to Xavier (twice), Brighton, Wesley and Scotch. Our two wins were over Wesley at the end of 1995 and Carey in the last match of the season. This match proved to be a real thriller. Keen to finish on a high note, we attacked them hard. They withstood our challenge but we were one game up going into the last singles. Adam Carlson produced the goods, winning a spirited and close fought match, much to Mr Keary's delight. Our most successful doubles combinations in terms of wins, was Ben Nancarrow and Peter Sullivan. In the singles Ben shared this honour with Lachlan McCallum. The team very much enjoyed being with Mr Keary for the past two seasons and we would like to thank him for his time and effort. We would also like to thank Mr Cameron for his rigorous early morning coaching sessions. LACHLAN McCALLUM - Captain IOC BOYS

1996 proved a most successful year for the IOC APS tennis team, and the result of 6 wins from 9 matches shows the level of commitment which was maintained.

Sam Marchesani and Matthew Ota were a successful opening pair, and the rest of the team put in a solid effort for the whole season. Nick Szakiel and David Keith contributed consistently as did Dane Jackson and Vu Le. Other regular players included Marcus Illingworth, Wilson Charlesworth and Alistair Dadds. Although, on occasion, our results did not reflect our standard of play, College never lost determination. Thanks must go to Mr Millar for his coaching and administrative skills. SAM MARCHESANI YEAR 9A BOYS This season has been a learning experience for the boys who made up a combined 9As and 9Cs team. They competed as 9As and because of our large numbers, the team was varied most weeks to give all boys a game throughout the season and to accommodate activities such as camps. Subsequently, the burden fell on a solid core of more experienced players who acquitted themselves well against stronger and more experienced opponents. The highlight of the season was not achieved until the very last round of the season with a resounding victory against Carey. Special mention must be made of the achievements of Matthew Goldsworthy who was called upon to play for the College 1st tennis team on a number of occasions. This meant that the burden of the number one position, on most occasions fell on Edward Jeremiah's shoulders and he acquitted himself well. All members of the team played to the best of their ability and it was possible to see a vast improvement in their tennis skills and thinking throughout the season. This improvement will benefit the team in next season's games when the boys will be bigger and stronger. An enjoyable season was had by all, even though the results were disappointing overall. A special thank you to all those parents who came to support College on a Saturday morning, your enthusiasm is appreciated. Good luck for next season, boys. The team consisted of: Toby Campbell, Michael Clayton, Brian Cooke, Charles Galbally, Matthew Goldsworthy (Captain), Anthony Goode, Steven Green, Edward Jeremiah, Luke Kenfield, Christopher Mawson, Robert Moreton, Simon Robertson, Richard Sargeant, Andrew Torney, Fergus Weber and Tim Williams.

SOFTBALL

The girls' 1st Softball team had a very pleasing 1995-96 season. In all of our matches against Wesley Prahran, Wesley Waverley and Carey we were clear winners by a margin of at least 10 runs. This showed that we were not content with being ahead by a few runs but continued to attack in every game. Our most convincing wins were over Geelong Grammar and on the two occasions we played them we won 25 - 0 and 39-2, the latter being our highest ever run tally. Unfortunately we could not defeat the highly professional Caulfield Grammar side, to whom we lost both games. With our only two losses being against Caulfield, we finished a very praiseworthy 2nd place on the ladder. Fiona Smith's pitching was of a high standard in every game and was a focal point of our defence. She combined well with Tanya Bath who had an excellent season as catcher, and was well supported by her infielders, Dana Ryan, Claire Smurthwaite, Christine Blair and Aisha Ryan. Our outfield consisted of Liz Smith, Jane Bradshaw, Katherine Napier and Allison Wedding with Liz and Jane in particular, taking some excellent catches. Our batting line-up contained some quality hitters and over half the side managed to score home runs throughout the season. The most pleasing aspect of our performance was that every member of the team continued to improve as the season wore on. Much credit for our good result goes to our coach Mr Harris, who continues to ask for punishment year after year as he coaches this team! Although four members of the team will be leaving next year, a strong contingent of developing softball players is moving up through the school. Our second and third senior teams, coached by Mr Gallus and Mrs Tol, performed creditably and recorded several wins. The intermediate A and B teams while not as successful as the senior teams dramatically improved their skills and tactical knowledge under the guidance of Mr Andrews and Rachel Bugg. Special thanks go to the aforementioned coaches for their time and effort and I wish all of next year's teams the best of luck. I've no doubt that College softball will continue to improve until the day we capture the premiership trophy. AISHA RYAN - Captain

CROSS COUNTRY

SURFING

During the 1996 APS cross-country season the Geelong College cross-country Squad competed at its very best, with the highest level of dedication and determination.

Surfing. Who can explain what gives us the urge to plunge into subAntarctic conditions in the middle of winter? And who can explain the sudden influx of 'wanna be' photographers at the school when they hear the QUIT Victorian School's Surfing Championships are on? Perhaps we'll never know.

Starting as a small group of ambitious students, the College Crosscountry Squad developed into a team of competitive athletes under the exhaustive training of coach, Mr Payne (who always demanded that 'extra kilometre', but it was easy for him, as he was on his bike!). Training consisted of circuit sprint work and long distance runs on the running track beside the Barwon River and the confidence of the team developed and spirits rose as we all began to run faster and increase the endurance that was required to survive the season. The 1996 cross-country season consisted of six meets, held at many venues, including Haileybury, 'Yarra Bend Park' at St. Kevin's, 'Dendy Park' at Brighton, Xavier's home course 'Warringal Park', and Geelong Grammar which hosted the final round of the season. At all meets, the Geelong College Cross-country Squad was able to include runners in the Open Girls, Open Boys and U/16 Boys events. Luck with the weather seemed to never be on our side, as every trip to.Melboume produced windy and rain-drenched conditions, resulting in the inevitable slippery mud underfoot. Geelong College proved to be competitive against schools twice its size in the Open Girls' event, with Caroline Nordang achieving a commendable final best placing of 35th in a field of 58 competitors. Covering race distances that varied from 4 to 6.5 kilometres, the Open Boys event throughout the season was highly competitive. Consistent performances were achieved by Andreas Olofsson and Hamish MacLean, with end of season best placings of 80th and 85th respectively in a field of 104 competitors.

The strength of the College Surf Team has long been overlooked. Our team of seven surfers competed in the regional titles at Jan Juc on Friday 10th May. We won our heat convincingly thanks to some excellent surfing by the grommets, Randall Hill, Marlon Law and Daniel Cross. Troy Brooks, the current Australian Schoolboys title holder, cemented our position in the Regional Final after scoring a perfect 10 ride in tiny waves. The surf continued to drop all day until it was declared uncontestable at below 18 inches and the final was postponed until the following Tuesday. With the support of Mr Curnow and Miss Utting a hopeful band of sun bleached surfers, competed against the powerful Oberon, Bellarine and South Barwon teams, finishing fourth in the final. Marcus Casey made the most of the peeling left-handers as did John White. They both scored highly. Thanks to Case, Gaily, Saul and Alana for making up the bulk of the College cheer squad! Congratulations must also go to Troy who took out the Individual Scholastic Title in excellent 3-4ft waves, earning him a place in the Australian Titles this year EMILY CASEY

Success for the College Cross-country team was evident in the U/16 Boys event, with vice-captain, Simon Dwyer improving his placing dramatically each meet. Throughout the season, Simon ran well to finally achieve a personal best placing of 18th in a field of 35 competitors. Pleasing contributions were made by Nathan Mayes, who was plagued by injury, and Kieran Gorman-Best, who came to the team late in the season. I would like to sincerely thank Mr Payne for his fine coaching and dedication to the cross-country team this year. I am sure that the pleasing results that were achieved could not have been obtained without him. With the majority of next year's Cross-country Squad in the Open Event, and the introduction of younger faces, 1997 will undoubtedly be a most successful year for Geelong College cross-country.

RON FRIM - Captain Coach's note: The report would be incomplete without mention of Captain Ron Prim's outstanding dedication, enthusiastic and effective leadership and success in the field. Ron, running in the U/16 division against excellent competition, consistently finished in the top 5 in fields of around eighty runners. MR A PAYNE-Coach

SWIMMING

APS GIRLS During the 1995/96 season the Girls Swimming Squad competed in a number of local and Melbourne competitions, one of which was the local Geelong All Schools Competition where all the girls competed well. Kathleen O'Brien, from the Preparatory School, swam exceptionally, taking home several medals. Our relay team also performed well, and was placed 3rd. The team consisted of Jane McMillan, Kathleen O'Brien, Carly Deeath and Michelle Collins. The other meets we competed in also went well, with only a few minor hiccups along the way. Throughout the season we had a few swimmers falling ill due to the viruses which were going around and the cold weather. The annual end of season APS Swimming Meet was the most eventful with all the girls competing to their best ability. Due to the illness of some of the senior swimmers, many of the juniors were required to swim up a few age groups, but their performances showed us that age and size don't matter. The U/13 Relays were most memorable as we came second in both the medley and freestyle. We were placed 4th at the end of the night, equalling our best effort ever. It was particularly satisfying that we defeated our arch rivals Geelong Grammar by a considerable margin. Grammar placed 5th, and Caulfield Grammar won overall. The squad was coached by Adam Beckworth this season. He did an excellent job in preparing the girls for the APS, especially considering the short period of time available. Throughout the season Carly Deeath, Danielle Beckworth and I helped Adam with the coaching of the younger swimmers. All of the girls have done exceptionally well and I wish them all the best in the coming years. MICHELLE COLLINS

GIRLS Our athletics uniforms had not yet rid themselves of the smell of success after last year's triumph as we stretched at our first training session in week five of Term 3. Would we again be able to challenge the other talented APS schools on that last Saturday in October? True to the Geelong College Athletics' tradition, the girls' team performed consistently and enthusiastically throughout the 1996 season. We knew that there were a number of talented athletes in our squad and our aims were to involve more girls and develop their skills and fitness. As the season progressed, we were subject to the most extreme weather conditions, baring our legs one minute and running for cover from the hail the next. To the credit of all the girls, training was positive and well attended. The middle distance runners did plenty of work with Adam Beckworth, and Cain Sarah guided a good group of jumpers, Mark Williamson put the hurdlers through their drills and the high jumpers enjoyed their sessions with Greg Lochhead. Weekly training sessions at Landy Field were a valuable part of the program. Despite the earlier date this year, the Victorian Schools' Relay Championships gave us two more runs at Olympic Park. The U17 4 x 400m team (Megan Bell, Lucy Mills, Rosie Bell, Lucy Cummins) and the Open 4 x 400m relay (Emily Simms, Clare Haylock, Melinda Tyack, Jane Bradshaw) reached the finals and a number of Prep. School teams also had success. After the holidays athletes who did well in the last selection meetings included Matilda Hobba, Megan Bell, Natalie Grace, Charlotte Paton, Lucy Cummins, Sophie Halsall, Janey Gwyther and Sarah Johnstone. The final Friday of the season saw over one hundred athletes and coaches breakfast together in the Dining Hall. APS record holder Rhiannon Bourke helped both teams focus on the following day's competition. At the Sports every athlete contributed something to The Geelong College team performance. We finished second behind a strong Caulfield squad, who won the Challenge Cup for the first time. College athletes recorded sixteen 1st places, fourteen 2nds and fourteen 3rds in team and individual events and set five new APS records on the day. In the Open age group, Melinda Tyack jumped over 11 metres to win the Triple Jump and Clare Haylock did well in the High Jump. Megan Bell, Claire Smurthwaite, Sarah Johnstone and Mandy Steel were successful in U17 events. Alison Gusbeth and Kate Macmillan won the U17 Teams Shot Put. Lucy Cummins again performed at a high level, competing in five events and recording two wins. Anna Fitzpatrick and Rowena Neunhoffer won the U16 1500m Teams event and Leah Marriner came 2nd in both U16 Hurdles and High Jump. U15 athlete, Janey Gwyther, broke the APS Hurdles record for the third year in a row and competed successfully in U16 sprints and Sophie Halsall did five events, achieving three lsts and two 2nds. Girls from the Prep. School were a vital part of the team and I would like to thank Mr Roberts, Mr Jeffreys, Mr Cheatley, Rhiannon Bourke and especially Mr Ryan for their coaching this year. Georgie

Sophie Halsall, Sarah Johnstone

Tim Naylor

Clarke ran all day (often between events!) and was outstanding in setting three APS records in three separate age groups. Thanks must go to those girls who competed in higher age groups and those who were emergencies. I would also like to thank the Vice Captains, Renee Wright and Emily Simms, for their support. Congratulations to all team members on their determination, individual improvement and sportsmanship over the whole season. On behalf of the girls I would like to express our appreciation to all our coaches for their effort and dedication. As well as those already named, thank you to Miss Utting, Mrs Foley, Mr Clark, Mr Cronk, Mrs Fulton, Mr Gusbeth, Mr Clifford, Mr Harris and Mr Parkes for their guidance during a successful and enjoyable season. JANE BRADSHAW - Captain of Girls' Athletics Jane Bradshaw came to College in 1994 and has been part of our most successful group of girls sprinters. She was a member of teams which have won the Victorian Schools 4 x 400m title, the APS 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relays and she currently holds four School records in Relay events. In 1996 Jane ran strongly in the Open 200m and 400m and both Open Relays and provided a fine lead in both training and competition. Jane's encouragement of all members of the team was a feature of her contribution as Captain. T.P.PARKES - Teacher in Charge of Athletics

Personal bests in the Open age group came from Vice Captain Todd George (4th in the Shot Put), and High Jumper James Dowling (1.95m to finish 4th); Tim Naylor (Hurdles) and Edward Jeremiah (3000m) also did well. The U17 age group made a significant contribution with six 2nd places from a strong group which included: Michael Ellis, David Clarke, Tyson Leach and Adam Lockwood. Ryan Sharkey's 1331m in the Shot Put was a personal best and he gained 4th place. Consistent efforts in the U16 age group came from Andrew Napier, Cameron McDonald, Ron Frim and Matt Goldsworthy. James Dowling

Geelong College scored more points in the U15 age group, than any other school, achieving six 1st places and setting six new School records. James Boston won the 100m and 200m, Tim Clarke dominated the 1500m, Sam Percy competed in six events and won the High Jump and Hurdles and Michael Gusbeth won the Shot Put. An inspirational performance came from Richard Jeremiah, who finished 2nd in the 800m despite being spiked and losing his shoe 150 metres from the finish. My role as Captain has been most enjoyable and has been made easier by the two Vice-Captains. Todd George is a relaxed but highly professional athlete and has provided a fine lead for the throwers. Matt Spokes has battled injury this season but has given great assistance to the younger sprinters, providing guidance wherever it was needed.

James Boston

BOYS Geelong College athletes can be proud of their efforts in 1996, culminating in a strong 5th placing at the APS Sports at Olympic Park. The team scored 290 points (our highest ever) and equalled College's best finish in the eleven team competition, achieved in 1974. Despite the pressures of study and the unhelpful weather, the boys squad competed solidly in the first three Saturday meetings in Geelong. It was good to see the commitment of senior 800m runners Rhys Hunt, Peter Betts, Lachie Urquhart and Warren Keeble and they were part of a loyal group of fifteen Year 12 students who gave great leadership to the boys' and girls' teams. The competition provided by the Victorian Relays Championships over two Wednesdays in September was valuable in the experience gained for younger athletes. The holiday break followed and a regular group of athletes attended the morning training sessions at Landy Field with Mr Harris, Adam Beckworth, Mr Montgomery and Mr Parkes. In the final week the foundations were laid on the Wednesday, where College athletes improved on 1995 to reach 13 Division 1 finals, a fantastic effort. An outstanding contribution came from U17 sprinter David Clarke, who competed in five events, including the Open 400m. For me, Saturday could not come soon enough, but in the bus I was surprised at the calmness and focus of the team. Everyone who donned a green singlet and competed on the day (and the emergencies who supported them) deserves praise for their efforts, great or small. Although athletics is essentially an individual challenge, the achievement of being part of a strong team is doubly satisfying.

The optimism fostered in athletics at the College has undoubtedly stemmed from the enthusiastic approach and commitment of the teachers who are part of the College team. It has been valuable to have five former College champions assist us in coaching specialist groups in 1996. 1 would like to thank Rhiannon Bourke, Greg Lochhead, Cain Sarah, Adam Beckworth, Mark Williamson and Mr Ryan, Mr Roberts, Mr Jeffreys, Mr Cheatley, Mr Clark, Mr Cronk, Mrs Foley, Mrs Fulton, Mr Harris, Miss Utting, Mr Clifford and Mr Parkes for their help during the season. A special mention must be made of Mr Gusbeth, whose expertise in the development of throwing events at the College over the past five years can be seen in our results. A special presentation was made to Mr Gusbeth at the Athletics Dinner. I will remember the efforts of all Geelong College athletes in representing their school so well in 1996. Never in all my time in College athletics have I heard anyone criticised after they have given their all, their best. That is what made me so proud to captain the Athletics team this season. MICHAEL HENDERSON - Captain of Boys' Athletics Michael's final year brings to an end an amazing contribution to College athletics from the Henderson family. His sisters Mary and Jane and brother David were key athletes in past years and Michael has now led our most successful team in Boys' Athletics. He has represented the College at the APS Sports for six years, completing the demanding double of the 800m and 1500m. He has also been a fine 400m and relay runner. In 1996 he provided a great example in his hard work at training and inspired the team with a memorable win in the Open 800m and fourth place in the 1500m on APS day.

BASKETBALL

GIRLS 1STS The 1st girls' basketball team entered the season not really knowing what to expect. With only two players remaining from last year's 1st side we needed lots of training and getting to know each other. Narrowly losing our first three games we were naturally a bit disheartened, but went out into our next game against Wesley Prahran all fired up for a big win. Fortunately, we got what we bargained for and beat Wesley convincingly. Next up, we were scheduled to play the eventual back-to-back premiers, Carey. We played well, but sadly we weren't good enough to beat this tough side. Our team then went on to win against Caulfield Grammar and arch rivals, Geelong Grammar, in two great basketball games. The loss of vital team member, Sarah Case, early in the season cost our side very dearly. We gradually made up that lost ground and had a taste of how strong our team will be next year, seeing that most of us are returning. Training proved to be educational and a lot of fun with Claire Smurthwaite's ball-spinning skills dazzling everyone. Huge thanks must go to Mr Carroll for his encouragement and never-ending energy and persistence with a rowdy group of female teenagers. It couldn't have been easy all the time I'm sure, but he always persevered with us. The 1996 team consisted of: Sarah Case (captain), Kiri Milsom (vice captain), Tanya Bath, Claire Smurthwaite, Alison Gusbeth, Natalie Green, Tamara Ran tall and Alysha Minne. KIRI MILSOM - Vice Captain GIRLS 2NDS 1996 brought a change in Government for Australia, the 10th anniversary of the Olympics in Atlanta, a national census and the most boisterous, enthused, leading, shooting, dribbling, passing, driving, manoeuvring, physically challenged seconds basketball team in the whole of College history. We went out onto the court every Saturday morning to show our opposition the skills - or lack of - we had acquired during laborious training and held our heads high whether we won or whether we let others shine. This powerful team was comprised of Errin Johnson, Alex Gason, Nicole Ronald, Virginia Clark, Tracey Pocock, Erin Cooke, Anthea Neunhoffer, Katie Weber, Jayne McEwan and Linda Van Leerdam with the help of Natalie Green and Claire Smurthwaite at the start of the season. Mr Gusbeth was the coach fortunate enough to lead this team of raucous girls through a winter season of triumphs and downfalls. With all the experience he has gained through attending coaching clinics and

watching and playing many games of basketball he was able to squeeze that bit of basketball talent we all hold within us, out of his team and bring us through a season with few injuries, a minimum of brawls, and with us all laughing at the end. Although we lost more games than we won, we all enjoyed our Saturday mornings - whether the opposition turned up or not. Errin Johnson was the up-and-coming star throughout the whole season and the team should be commended for its persistence and commitment. LINDA VAN LEERDAM APS INTERMEDIATE As The intermediate As got off to a great start in our first game with a crushing defeat over Wesley 94-2, but then knowing that obviously all our matches were not going to be like that we went into the next game harder, and came out victors by only 2 points. This was a bit of a shock after our first game. We lifted our game beating a different Wesley team 70-12. We went into the next game positive and ended up winning after another low scoring game 27-13. Our next game was to be a bit more of a challenge facing a group of small and quick Year 7s from Carey. They were fast and seemed to be running rings around us at half time so we definitely had to lift our game if we were to win. Finally our skill negated the quickness of the other team. Hannah Gason and Jess Koch showing some fantastic form. After winning against the other teams in our second time round we had to prepare ourselves for our last game of the season against the tough, small side from Carey. Although we tried very hard they were too strong for us, so we went down 41-30. Thanks must go to Mr Taylor for the time and effort he put into coaching us. It was a great season from our star players Hannah Gason and Jess Koch, but they were well supported by Rachel Mol, Jean McLean, Rosemary Mackay, Louise Lochhead, Josette Loomes, Koren Irving and Leah Marriner. LEAH MARRINER YEARS 9 AND 10 GIRLS Every Tuesday night of Term 2 and 3, the hopeful girls from College braved the freezing conditions to play basketball in the College gym, where they competed in a local basketball competition. The College team performed consistently well throughout the season. Strong rebounding was lead by Jess and Rosemary while many all important baskets were shot by Leah and Liz. All other team members Chantelle, Timea, Anita and Nynke combined to play a good defensive game, with strong hustling by Koren and Laura. Due to a strong team effort we managed to defeat all teams at least once. As the season progressed the Catholic Regional College became our arch rivals and little love was lost in the Grand Final. We were very determined to win and were victors by six points. Throughout the season we enjoyed ourselves and learnt many more basketball skills. Hopefully, we will be able to defend our title next year. LIZ RYAN BOYS 1STS

GIRLS'APS BASKETBALL Back Row: Alison Gusbeth, Natalie Green, Alysha Minne Front Row: Claire Smurthwaite, Kiri Milsom (Vice-Captain), Mr D Carroll (Coach), Tanya Bath, Tamara Rantall Absent: Sarah Case (Captain)

With the loss of the tall players such as Matt Ross and Alex Player, as well as highly skilled players such as Matt Barkley, many people were predicting very modest performances from the first five this year. Although those trying out for a spot in the firsts consisted mostly of Year lis, our commitment to improve and prove ourselves was extremely high. The first few grading games saw us lose to teams that were not wellskilled. Developing well structured offensive and defensive team plays was obviously going to be essential if we were to be competitive. Eventually consistent work at training began to pay off. Match by match

our ability to run and finish offset plays in offence increased and by the completion of the season we had beaten all but two of the teams, with our defence being second to none. Finishing in third spot on the league ladder meant that we played second on the ladder, St Joseph's, for a spot in the grand final. Going into the game we were quietly confident of a win, however we knew that it was going to be very close. The start of the game saw our opposition take a small lead which they held for most the game. Despite drawing to within a point late in the game the pressure of the situation and a very good opponent told in the end. We did not execute our offence well in the dying minutes and eventually were beaten by 5 points. Michael Burnell has had a hot hand all season, being in the top scorers each week. It almost seemed like the further out he was and the more players he had guarding him the easier it was for him to make the shot. Another player who loved to hit three pointers was Ryan Sharkey, who had many games where it seemed he couldn't miss. Dane Callanan, who started off in the seconds before coming up to the firsts, was an inspiration. Dane was one of our best players under pressure, showing skill and aggression where it was needed most. Andy Barkley, Joel Fuller and Matt Gilchrist, were three players who, at different times, took on the hardest position on the court; the Point Guard. All three of them have managed to grace the court with great skill and finesse, blasting away their opponents and performing show time moves including headfakes, cross over dribbles and lightning fast drives. Any shots that were missed during games were quickly picked up by the long arms of Michael Parker, the athleticism of James Pinnis or the strength of Mark Whitworth and just as easily put back up for two points. Mr Wood, who took on the coaching role this year for the first time, has been an inspiration for all players and instrumental in devising offensive and defensive moves. Mr Wood was also the key reason for the teams' ability to pass the ball around and look for the open players. Although being captain was a large responsibility at times, I always had support from Vice Captain, Ryan Sharkey, and the other team mates whenever it was needed. We didn't manage to win the competition, but all players enjoyed the friendship and were justifiably proud that we were able to finish one spot better than last years' team. Because this is my last year I wish the players all the best of luck in years to come and hope they can fulfil their potential and take out the competition. CALLANTENABEL-Captain BOYS 2NDS Season 1996 in a word: disappointing! Much like the fabled young lass whose locks curved above her brows, when we were good we were very good, but when we were bad, we stunk. To be fair to us, on the odd occasion, when we mustered the same team two or more weeks in a row,

we generally won. Unfortunately, this did not happen enough. Our ranks seem to thin at regular intervals throughout the first half of the season as people's egos struggled to come to grips with the fact that they weren't as good as they perhaps thought they were and that others deserved a reasonable amount of court time too. This added to the loss we felt when Michael Parker and Mark Whitworth were seconded into the Firsts (probably because we had made them look so good). Their replacements however, were equally as good and when Mark Hambling, Matthew Gilchrist and James Pinnis all played on the same night as our regulars Josh Willett, Alesh Macak and Ben Mitchell, we had a team which was capable of matching it with any team in the competition. Unfortunately we rarely graced the floor together and coupled with our best centre, Michael Silcock, struggling with injury, we finished the season sitting on a spot outside the four. Our thanks must go to Ron Frim, Stuart Spiteri and Michael Ellis who did fantastic jobs filling in when we were short on numbers. Extra special thanks must go to Mr O'Brien, who never stopped trying to help us learn in circumstances which made it difficult to teach.

U/16 BOYS This team was one of two playing at the Life Be In It sports' centre in South Geelong every Friday night. Although we just missed out on playing in the finals, all the games were played at a high standard and the final scores were always close. The team members included Fergus Weber, Michael Plunkett, Daniel Wedding, Andrew Morris, Leigh Anderson, Campbell Carmichael, Nick Pearce, Tim Petersen and Marcus Illingworth. Our coach was Fletcher Pearson, who also coached the other U16 team, with the assistance of Greg Hutchinson and Edward Weber on occasions. Our season began with a short stint in Division 3 which we dominated, so that we were soon promoted to the more competitive Division 2 competition. All players contributed well to the team's performances during a most enjoyable season. FERGUS WEBER

U/16 BOYS GABA In the Geelong Amateur Basketball Association (GABA), where this team was entered, players must be under 16 in 1996 to be eligible to play. As a result this team consisted largely of Year 9 boys. With a very short lead up time, the season began, and we found ourselves facing up to teams from established clubs which had played together for some time. Not surprisingly, we struggled in the first round of the competition, dropping all of our early matches. However as the round progressed, we began to hit our straps - first losing some close matches then finishing the round with two solid wins. Unfortunately, problems with player registration and clearances meant our early wins did not count, and we were always going to struggle to make the finals. Team play improved markedly in our second round matches, and we were much more successful. We recorded some pleasing wins, accounting for teams that had easily beaten us in the first round, exceeding the goals we set for ourselves for improvement and playing some solid basketball at both ends of the court. Given our improvement, we were on track to make the finals, but two losses early in the third round put us out of contention.

SKIING

FENCING

At the conclusion of the 1996 Victorian Inter Schools Skiing Championships, I must admit to being rather sorrowful. This event is huge, the biggest Victorian schools' competition...of any kind. My last year to view the smorgasbord of Victorian schools, students and skiers, my last year to taste the action, was over. However, Mt Buller, Victoria's premier mountain resort, hosted the event in perfect snow conditions (as always), complete with sunshine, music and even a closing ceremony.

The year of 1996 has been one of achievement for fencing at College. The season began in late March with School Team Competitions. This year the A team remained unchanged from last year's combination. Andrew Newlands was once again captain, with Tommy Chan and myself making up the team. In this first competition we crushed all opposition to win without conceding a bout. The College 'B' team; Ken Chan (Captain), Robert Hodgson and Quinton Sung, finished a very creditable fourth behind the two Geelong Grammar teams.

In the Alpine event, which is the fastest skier to get from A to B, (i.e. where they go around those poles), best performances came from the Division 2 boys' team. This Year 9 and 10 team consisted of Tim Clarke, Marlon Law and Shane Groom and placed fifth out of the sixty teams competing. This place qualified the boys for the Nationals. Tim and Marldn also had exceptional individual results, with Tim placing second and Marlon fourth out of 200 competitors. The Division 1 (Years 11 and 12) girls' team placed fourteenth out of about fifty teams, even with Natalya Morgan missing her start and Moya O'Brien's disqualification. Division 1 boys were unplaced due to Troy Brook's disqualification and Michael Brussell's crash. However Kam Benjamin (who placed 25/193 individually - the best result of the College senior boys), Simon Steel, Byron Henderson and Matt Gudykunst all raced well. Division 2 girls placed twenty-eighth out of about sixty teams, a sterling effort from Sophie Farrow, Kate Betts and Jessica Couchman, who was disqualified in the second run. In the Mogul's event, which is basically bumps and jumps, and is judged on 25% air (or jumps), 25% time to get down the course and 50% technique and turns, the Division 2 boys excelled again, despite witnessing five broken coccyx bones, broken femurs and numerous concussion incidents before their events. Tim Clarke executed a perfect heli, (which is a 360% turn in the air) and was the only one in his division to do so. Tim came second individually and combined with Marlon's fourth, the two placed second out of twenty-four teams, again allowing National competition entry. The Girls' Division 1 Moguls finished up sixth, with Caroline Nordang's gutsy effort, just missing out on the Nationals. The girls' Snowboarding team, consisting of Sarah Case, Emily Casey and Rebecca Richardson (Boris), also raced well, placing seventh out of about twenty teams. The boys' team saw Will Swinton disqualified and Marcus Casey place twenty-second out of sixty individually. I would like to thank Mr. Hibbard for contributing countless voluntary hours to training and for the lifts up to Mt. Buller, because it would have been a really long walk without them, and we probably would have missed our starts! HOLLIE GREEN

We were brought back to earth in the State School Team Championships, which also served as qualifiers for the Nationals. The Geelong Grammar team, shocked us in the first round by taking a four bout to two lead. Nevertheless, College spirit prevailed and we scraped through this round, winning five bouts to four. The rest of the competition proved simple and we cruised through to become State School Teams' Foil Champions of 1996. Later in the day, we also won the State School Teams' Epee Championships and, completing the trifecta, the State School Team's Sabre Championships. This qualified us in first place to represent Victoria at the National School Team Championships which were held at St. Peter's Lutheran College in Brisbane during the Term 2/3 holidays. Unfortunately, our dreams were shattered, as we won all but two of our rounds to finish in third place. We couldn't emulate the glory days of College fencing when we won the 1991,1993 and 1994 Nationals. In the individual competition, the College fencers finished 4th, 10th and 7th. In other competitions throughout the year highlights were: Andrew Newlands representing Australia in Sabre at the World Cadet Championships in Tournai, Belgium. Andrew finished a very creditable 48 and then helped the Australian team achieve its best ever international placing, to finish in the top 8. Andrew also finished well in many individual foil and sabre titles throughout the year, confirming him as one of the nation's best up and coming fencers. Craig Smith, in only his second year of serious fencing, won the U/20 ungraded section of the John Fether's Golden Foil competition. Finally, I would like to thank our coach, Mr Neil Hick, for his constant support. He missed our performance at the Nationals due to the birth of his son and we truly missed him. He was the difference between winning and losing. It is due to Neil that the depth of College fencing is what it is today . I would like to wish all future fencers the best of luck as they try to achieve what we failed to do win the National Championships. OSMAN MEWETT Andrew Newlands

HOCKEY GIRLS 1ST XI At the commencement of the 1996 winter APS season, the girls 1st XI hockey team was faced with a very daunting task - to attempt to win back-to-back premierships. Our first round win against Caulfield Grammar was a large step in the right direction. The quiet determination shown by the team in this match was indicative of the team's performance throughout the year. After being one nil down, we fought back to win the game 2 - 1 . Our winning form continued for the remainder of the first half of the season; we beat Wesley Prahran, Wesley Waverley and Carey Grammar, and we had a very satisfying, but controversial, win over Geelong Grammar.

Elly Moreton, Alison Lean, Aisha Ryan, Dana Ryan, Rebecca Griffiths

Unfortunately in the second half of the season our form dropped and we lost to Caulfield, 2 - 1 . It was promising to see that we increased our winning margins against the Wesley teams, beating them both soundly, 5 - 0. The crunch game was our third last, against Geelong Grammar. A win would have almost certainly secured us the outright premiership, however we failed to convert and drew nil all. The convincing 4 - 0 victory in the final match against Carey, was a game that was indicative of the style of this year's team - winning well while having a great deal of fun in the process. This win provided us with a premiership, shared with Caulfield Grammar. The overall tally for the season was 8 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. We scored 30 goals and conceded only 6; a statistic that highlights the calibre of our defence led by Dana Ryan in goals. Dana made many spectacular goal-saving dives, taking out not only the opposition players, but also a number of our own. She was ably supported by Rebecca Griffiths and Alison Lean in the fullback positions. Al's questionable tackling dispossessed nearly all the opposing forwards and Rebecca made several goal line saves. Our wing-halves, Elly Moreton and Alison McMillan, distributed the ball to our forward line with precision. The high level of skill required for the position of centre-half was found in Sarah Warrior, and she earned the title of Best and Fairest. Claire Keith and Allison Wedding supported the strikers well, setting up many scoring opportunities. Vice - captain, Katherine Napier, played with typical determination week after week. In the wing positions Kate Morgan and Kate Urquhart had many penetrating runs, which often resulted in goals. Finally, Libby McMillan as Best Team Player, provided us with the most entertainment with her dives and knee-slides in the mud. Her commitment was unwavering. To win back-to-back premierships is not only a great achievement for the team, but also the coach, Mrs Lean inspired us with her unwavering optimism and encouraging remarks. Hockey at the College moves to synthetic pitches next season. I have no doubt that, as a result, the College will not only breed many more successful hockey players, but will also attain many more fine results. AISHA RYAN -Captain

GIRLS 2ND XI The 1996 season for the girls' 2nd hockey team was one of great success. The team consisted of Year 11 and 12 girls who combined well and, to their credit, finished the season in second position. Throughout the season there was marked improvement by all girls which was highlighted by their final results; 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. The forward line which consisted of Matilda, Sarah, Vicky, Claire and Allison, pressured the opposition defences, often breaking through the last line to score with ease. The forward line was capably backed up by the halfbacks Alison, Sally, Hollie and Prue, and the full backs when they were called up during our tougher games. We defended well and occasionally managed to bring the ball into attack. Finally our goalie, Sally Parsons, who at the start of the year elected to add the moon boots, defended exceptionally well, keeping the team's morale high. The team consisted of: Sarah Birks, Claire Thompson, Vicky Thornton, Prue Messenger, Hollie Green, Caroline Renick, Claire Buckis, Matilda Hobba, Allison Wedding, Alison MacMillan, Clare Hammond, Sally Parsons, Sally Thompson and Mrs Tol (coach). Year 12s wish Tollie's 2nds all the best for the following seasons. VICKI THORNTON GIRLS INTERMEDIATE A The Intermediate A girls' hockey team had a successful season with only four losses. The team played consistently with huge improvements in skill levels especially amongst our new team members. Our first match against Caulfield, saw a 3 - 0 loss. However, after strenuous training with our coach, Mr Quail, the group started to come together as a team and we won our second match against Wesley Waverley. Carey and both Wesley teams succumbed to our brilliance but we were unable to defeat GIRLS' 1STXI HOCKEY - APS PREMIERS Back Row: Alison McMillan, Kate Urquhart, Elly Moreton, Dana Ryan, Allison Wedding, Elizabeth McMillan, Alison Lean Front Row: Sarah Warrior, Rebecca Griffiths, Aisha Ryan (Captain), Mrs C Lean (Coach), Katherine Napier (Vice-Captain), Claire Keith, Kate Morgan

against Caulfield was, according to the coach, the best hockey he has ever seen played at this level and we were unlucky to lose (3-2). The major goal scorers throughout the season were Christine, Nikki, Victoria Bennett and Lia Bailey. A highlight was a goal scored by Clarissa in her first hockey match. Our quiet goalie, Olivia, had a successful season improving her skills in every way. The defenders, led by Sarah, showed some good form with the half line dominated by Christine. Because of the large number of Year 9 and 10 girls interested in hockey we interchanged players with the 3rds and had plenty of variety available to us.

the season, the other two against Melbourne Grammar and Geelong Grammar, 2-2 and 1-1 respectively. They were exciting matches where College clearly outplayed its opponents, but was deprived of that ounce of luck which would have seen us win more than just the one match. Early in Term 3, a 4-2 victory over Caulfield Grammar was the highlight of the season. Other matches were mostly close affairs and with a very close APS competition we were clearly outclassed by the eventual premiers, Scotch and Wesley. This left us with a disappointing record of one win and three draws from our nine official APS hockey matches.

Our players were: Olivia Allan, Lia Bailey, Mary Barson, Stephanie Holbery, Georgie Lyon, Elizabeth Ryan, Jessica Scoullar, Victoria Bennett, Christine Blair, Louise Brown, Sarah Carey, Emily Chakir, Kate Eastman, Nikki Gunawardana, Clare Jackson, Alison McMillan, Dana Ryan, Carol Target, Victoria Tomes (captain) and Clarissa Trosky.

During the season, some astonishing improvements were made by team members. The most obvious was Robert Lethbridge, who began in the seconds. He became an integral member of the team, playing at inside right. His ability to defend (while still in our forward line) by standing only meters from a back's free hit and using his great reflexes to stop the ball, allowed us to remount our attack time and time again.

BOYS 1ST XI

Winger, Tom Bridges, made many attacking runs down the field along the baseline into the 'D' making his opponents look slow and unskilful. When he found the net, he looked the complete player.

The 1996 season for the boys' 1st XI hockey team was one of limited success, in a season that promised so much. A new look team, consisting of only Year 11 and Year 12 boys, travelled to Albury to play in the Easter Carnival. Victories were hard fought and rare, but much experience was gained and the foundations for teamwork were built. With very little opportunity to play on a synthetic surface, College was looking forward to playing in a practice match against Haileybury in early May. Some key aspects came out at this game, which were to remain with the team throughout the entire season. It was evident that we lacked the ability to score goals, losing 2-0, and it seemed we were incapable of playing good hockey for the full 70 minutes. The season proper saw us draw a match which was as good as won, 2 goals apiece, against the more determined Brighton Grammar. This draw was one of three for

By his own admission, this year was a quiet one for Julian Reichl who played at right half. However, his ability to read the play and make turnovers that propelled us forward, was still fantastic. Several players were tried at centre forward with no-one being able to make a real impression. At times Will Lewis was an imposing presence showing excellent stick skills, carrying the ball into the 'D' and making some good shots at goal. Stuart Reeve also played there, acting as a decoy and passing off to players running through. At left half, Hugh Baulch showed he always had the time to thwart promising opposition attacks and then set up our forwards. Rhys Hunt showed he could close down not only his direct opponent but centre forwards as well. For Rhys there was no easy game and typical of his attitude to hockey he never let the team down. In the same mould was Tim Lamb. Playing in the unfamiliar inner and centre forward positions, as well as centre half, Tim played at his best when the team needed him most.

In defence, Tom Anderson and Matthew Spokes numbered among the best each week. They exposed opponents' weaknesses, ran the ball out of danger and disposed well to team mates further forward. In the pivotal position of centre half, Cameron Jeremiah played excellent hockey every week and did a marvellous job as Vice Captain. His insight into player positions, and his support and advice made my task easier and the season more enjoyable. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank all the parents for their support and our coach, Mr Miller, whose time, faith, encouragement and dedication to the boys, and to hockey at the College in general, is greatly appreciated. MICHAEL HENDERSON - Captain BOYS 2ND XI 1996 will go down on paper as a highly successful year for the seconds, with only two losses recorded. Overall the team greatly improved on its skills and proved to the other teams that we were a force to be reckoned with. Team spirit was high and was a feature of the side. Our leading goalscorer was Rhys Bailey whose fiery game play often egged the team on when we were down. Most of the younger players will be returning next year and the future of the 2nds looks bright. The efforts of our coach, Mr Paul Schram, must be commended, and we wish him well with his hockey coaching in England next year. The team consisted of: Adrian Edgerton, Christopher Eagles, Richard Mason, Ross Watson, Bruno Siketa, Shayne Neal, Thomas David, Jaron Martin, James Torode, Gareth Kent, Cameron Petersen, Rhys Bailey, Damian Di Stefano and Ellis Davies. RICHARD MASON BOYS 10A This year's team consisted of: Alastair Dadds (Captain), Marcus Nation, Lachlan Smeeton, Scott Sinclair, Andrew Swaney, Gareth Ellis, John Cotton, Charles Edgar, David Keith, Brad Donaldson, Tim Driscoll, Rich Dawson, Hayden Greaves, Eugene Hedley, Stuart Lethbridge (Goalie) and Paul Gage (Coach). The results of our games do not reflect our high standard of performance throughout the season. With Stuart in goals and Lachie, John and Eugene as full backs, our defence stood strong against numerous onslaughts from the opposition. Alastair, Marcus, Rich and Tim played exceptionally well as half-backs supporting both the forwards and backs. David, Gareth, Charles and Scott led the attack by scoring goals with Hayden, Brad and Andrew providing sound support. One of the highlights of the season was when we played Scotch College on the synthetic surface in Melbourne. After suffering a humiliating 12 - 0 defeat against them last year we were set on revenge. Although we went down 2 - 0, this was the best performance of the season with the whole team playing exceptionally well. This game proved that we are a team that can hold its head high in the competition. Overall, this has been a successful and enjoyable season. Special thanks to Paul and Andy Gage for coaching us and to the parents who came to support us each week. ALASTAIR DADDS AND MARCUS NATION

BOYS 9A The 9A hockey season was a successful one, recording five wins and a draw from ten games. Mr Smith instilled tactics that capitalised on each team member's individual strengths as well as focussing on the finer points of the game. His main aim however was to have us play as a team. We developed into a strong unit, and played out all games to the

Tom Bridges, Robert Lethbridge

final whistle. We used our strengths to out-position and out-manoeuvre opponents with great success. Mr Smith's constructive advice was critical to our improvement. Joel Harris rates amongst the best goalies in the competition with his mobility and agility. He provided the basis for the excellent tackling and good defensive clearances of fullbacks, Aaron Hunt and Toby Campbell. The strong half line of Tom Forbes at left, Drew Hendrey at centre and Rob Moreton at right, linked defence with attack creating the opportunities for forward thrusts. The speed of the forward line was a feature of the team play. Chris Donaldson, at left wing, delivered the ball with accuracy to inside forwards, Andrew Pye (left) and Shane Groom (right). The stick skills and determination of the inners together with the speed of Craig Scott at right wing enabled good delivery to Troy Busch who became the focus of the attack. Under Mr Smith's instructions we remained close to the attacking 25 yard line and this resulted in many goal-scoring opportunities. The team would like to thank Mr Smith for his coaching this year and for making the season an enjoyable one. We all look forward to playing again next year. TROY BUSCH

NETBALL

1STS PREMIERS AND CHAMPIONS From the beginning it was going to be a hard ask to steal the premiership back from Wesley after narrowly missing out by just one goal in '95- The task of replacing the previous year's team, was taken on by a group of determined girls who may not have been as experienced but had the skill and determination to make it all the way. The first game played was the closest we were to encounter, we defeated Caulfield by just 2 goals. It became clear that our defence was capable of matching the best of the oppositions' attacks and throughout the season we were to rely on them to often drag us from the jaws of defeat. During the first few weeks of competition it was obvious that the younger girls were going to feature regularly amongst the best players, although it was a team effort that won the important matches. During the holidays we found some rather extravagant ways of keeping fit, with trips to Bali and Sydney. A great deal of success was enjoyed in both of these tournaments, the highlight being a win in the International Cup in Bali. The final test of our skill and determination came in the last round of matches. The premiership was already ours but the title of champions awaited. This was enough to inspire the entire team to put in a great game to claim the premiership and the honour of being the only undefeated team for the season. Many thanks should be made, but the largest must go to Mrs Oloughlin for her patience and guidance on and off the field. She was dedicated to every member of the team and we all regard her not only a coach but as a valued friend. JANE BRADSHAW-Captain 2NDS The 1996 netball season saw triumph and tragedy for the 2nds. With the loss of two of our key defenders, Liz Smith and Feme Millen, through injury, we found ourselves with a shortage, not only of defenders, but of a complete team. However the versatility of Bronwyn Galbraith normally a shooter, resulted in her playing in defence for the rest of the season, along with Liz O'Brien and a very determined Jenny Ryan. The centre of the court was strongly defended by Lucy Young and Susie Colless was invaluable in attack and around the goal circle. Despite many team changes through injury, we united to form an extremely competitive team. The addition of Carly Deeath into the team early in the season, and the accuracy of Jacqui Dennis ensured

our score was rarely beaten. Geelong Grammar proved too good for us in the first round, but in the second we were spurred on by the Olympics and came out eventual victors of this game and of the competition. The success of the team was largely due to the dedication of Mrs Porter on those freezing mornings. Without her experience and support throughout the season our results may not have been so pleasing. FIONA SMITH - Captain INTERMEDIATE A & B Both Intermediate A and B netball teams recorded terrific results throughout the '96 season; something of which both teams can be proud. After numerous tryouts, a squad of 16 girls was selected to form what would become two competitive APS netball teams. For our first match we headed up to Caufield where there were good passages of play from both teams, but also a certain lack of consistency. The A team found themselves narrowly defeated, however the Bs didn't let us down. With a great deal of determination they took out the first of many victories. In the end they were to be undefeated champions for the season. The As did very well, and found that they too came first on the ladder, only recording one loss for the season. A number of matches was played against our closest, most challenging rival; Geelong Grammar. Despite appalling weather at times both teams combined well with steady play to come out on top with pleasing wins. In the last round in August, both sides came up against Carey. The one sided results saw College coming out as Premiers yet again. We would like to thank our coaches, Ms Utting and Emma Bail, for a tough yet enjoyable season of netball for '96 and congratulate all our team mates. Well done to everyone. Thank you for a fun season and good luck next year. As: Charlotte Paton, Edwina Blackney, Rachel Crawford, Simonne Le Grew, Angie Gibson (Captain), Kate Paterson, Rosie Bell and Kate Brown. Bs: Charlotte Sutherland (Captain), Lauren Fleetwood, Katie Gladman, Emily Kilpatrick, Lucy Mills, Pip Collins, Sarah Johnstone, Genevieve Claringbold.

KARDINIA PARK 1996 was once again a successful season for the 18 Kardinia Park Senior School netball teams. With such a large contingent of Geelong College teams entered in the competition, it was inevitable that a number of teams would be entered in the same division and have to play each other throughout the season. The first weekend of Term II saw the beginning of a season that would bring 12 College teams to the finals and 5 teams into Grand Finals. Three College teams were to take out the Premiership flag of their divisions. Congratulations must go to all girls who participated in a Grand Final and particularly to those girls who received awards in their divisions. Best and Fairest awards went to Georgia Reid, Kirsten Rose and Rebekah Macauley while Lucy Cummins, Angela Nation and Dana Wolfenden were Runners Up. On behalf of the girls who played Kardinia Park netball this season, many thanks must go to all coaches for their time, effort and endless support. GEORGIA REID and ANNA KELLY

NETBALL TRIPS BALI

dancing and music were also enjoyed. The next three days were largely spent relaxing, sight-seeing and shopping!! On behalf of all the girls, I sincerely thank Miss Utting and Mrs O'Loughlin for enabling the Bali trip to take place. Without their dedication and effort the tour would not have been possible. There is no doubt that our success in the tournament reflects their commitment to College netball. SYDNEY On Friday the 21st June, 11 Geelong College netballers flew to Sydney to compete in the Pymble Ladies College Sports tournament to celebrate the 80th birthday of the school. On arrival girls were welcomed, introduced to billets, treated to a barbeque and enjoyed a fireworks display. Netball matches began in earnest on Saturday morning and continued daily until Tuesday. During this time College played twelve games, and having lost only one match (to host team, Pymble) found themselves on top of the ladder. The semi final was a hard-fought match against Korowa (also from Victoria) with College gaining the upper hand and winning 34 to 25. The Grand final was a close contest between us and Pymble. Our slow start allowed Pymble to get an early lead and although we fought hard we were unable to bridge the gap, losing 28 to 24. The girls could all be proud of themselves for this excellent effort against schools representing every state in Australia and also three teams from New Zealand.

In the early morning of Friday April 5 1996,16 eager girls and two coaches departed Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport for an 8 day netball tour to Bali. We arrived at Denpasaar Airport late afternoon, Indonesian time, and were greeted with typical Balinese weather - warm, sunny and humid - a pleasant change to the miserable Melbourne weather we had been subjected to only hours before.

JANE BRADSHAW

Saturday 6th April was the first day of the netball tournament. An opening ceremony, including Balinese dancers welcomed the participating teams from Australia and New Zealand.

On both of these occasions College girls not only played well, had fun and enjoyed a good deal of success but they were also complimented on their good conduct, friendliness and sportsmanship.

Over the next two days matches were played against schoolgirl teams from as far away as Perth (WA), Hobart (TAS) and Barandene (NZ). By the end of these matches both the A and B College teams found themselves first and third on their respective ladders. Finals were played on the Monday with the B team losing their semi final by just one goal to the team from the Gold Coast.

MRS M O'LOUGHLIN - Coach

In the Grand Final the A team came up against Rockhampton Girls' Grammar School. We played superbly from the first whistle and were significantly stronger than our opposition. The final score was Geelong College 35, Rockhampton 24. On Monday night, a farewell banquet dinner was held in a ballroom at the Hilton for all the netball teams involved in the tournament. A plaque was presented to The Geelong College A team by guest-speaker, Anne Sargeant (former Australian Netball Captain). Traditional Balinese

GOLF This year two College golf teams were entered in the qualifying rounds of the Victorian Golf Association Schoolboys Team Championships. We were confident we could qualify against 90 other teams and win the right to play in the Victorian final. Our senior team made up of our captain Steven Matheson (9 handicap), Ben Thomas (8) and Paul Walters (12), played well but narrowly missed qualifying. Our Junior team, fared much better in their division. Captain Tim Farquharson (6 handicap), Xavier Duthie (8) and from the Prep school young Heath D'Altera (8) all played exceptionally well and qualified quite comfortably. In the finals at Heidelberg we were nervous but hopeful we could beat the other teams, including the senior ones and thus qualify to represent Victoria in the Australian Championships. We played solid, but unspectacular golf and finished with an aggregate score of 252. It was not good enough to match Caulfield Grammar who played some excellent golf, shooting 244. Our score placed us 5th in the overall competition and 12 shot victors in the Junior division which was a fabulous win for the team. Thanks to Mr Wood who coached and inspired us. Thanks also must go to Graeme D'Altera who so capably assisted with motivation and supervision. TIM FARQUHARSON

1ST XVIII

loss for the season and although the feeling of defeat was heavy on our weary bodies we vowed to return to our winning ways. The following two weeks saw the team record very impressive wins over Xavier and Melbourne Grammar.

The 1st XVIII had a disappointing season of APS football. At times we played to our full potential, showing that we were able to match it with the best of them but inconsistency was our downfall as all season we struggled to put four good quarters of football together.

Our last game of the season saw us come up against the undefeated Brighton Grammar and we were all keen to rain on their parade and continue. Unfortunately it was not to be and we experienced our third loss for the season.

We started our season poorly with two losses in the first two weeks. This made it difficult for the side to focus on the rest of the year as it appeared any chance to win the premiership had vanished. After these losses however, we managed to get back on track with a side close to full strength for the next few weeks. Injury had hit us hard early in the year and being able to field our strongest team lifted not only our performance but our spirits as well.

The team's great success saw us end up with an impressive ratio of five wins and three losses making us the most successful College football team this year and the holders of the holy Prophet Cup.

FOOTBALL

We won three matches in a row (against Caulfield, Scotch, and Carey) and there was still a chance to take out that elusive premiership. The highlight for the season was no doubt our game against the eventual premiers, Scotch College. In this game we displayed the form we knew we were capable of, as we totally eclipsed the ladder leaders, running out 50 point victors. A loss the following week spelt the end for us when we were overrun by the much improved Haileybury. When we returned from the holiday break we struggled to recapture any of the form we had shown earlier. Our only remaining win came against Geelong Grammar, when we won by 14 goals. Too many times we were, on top of teams, but failed to keep going and when challenged, we failed to respond as our opposition ran over the top of us. ' I'd like to sincerely thank Mr Considine for again coaching what must have been an extremely frustrating team and wish next year's side all the best in their attempt to bring a football premiership to the College. BEN BROAD - Co-Captain 2ND XVIII The 2nd XVffl's year began with a rude awakening when we were thumped by a superior Xavier side in the first official game of the season. Mr Conway, although disappointed with our poor start to the season, stuck to his guns and set about forming a side of poorly postured boys into a side of proud strapping young men. Soon the season would take a turn for the better and despite losing many of our valuable players to a 1st XVIII constantly battered by injury, we began to run into some impressive form and prove ourselves a threat to the other APS schools. The team, moulded into a finely oiled machine, went on a three game winning streak claiming victory over Wesley, Caulfield and Carey by impressive margins. Keen for our fourth win in a row we ventured to Melbourne to play St. Kevin's. A lapse in the first and last quarters saw us record our second

Many thanks go to Mr Conway for his guidance and expertise in training throughout the season and to the team for a wonderful and successful season. MARCUS SUTTON - Captain 3RD XVIII Although we only won four of our nine matches, two of our losses were by less than a goal. During the season, strong discipline and excellent team-work developed, and these qualities were certainly needed in our final match against Caulfield Grammar. Three new players from the 4ths, Mark Hambling, Andrew Shaw and Hong Giang were excellent contributors to this thrilling victory. Our best performance was undoubtedly the freak comeback against Brighton Grammar. Seemingly well beaten by 3/4 time, a superb final quarter provided us with an inspirational win. Creative forwards, in Andrew Burns, Nathan Jose, Darren Charleston and Luke Tamplin, mesmerised their opposition. Contributing to this memorable achievement were Tom Billings, Lachlan Watts, Dan Weddell, Andrew Barkley and Tim Harris. Dan Anskaitis thoroughly deserved his Best and Fairest award. He was rarely beaten at centre half back. Nick Burnett, Ryan Sharkey, Paul Wallace and Saul Irwin were lively forwards, while Russell Hough, Ian Munro, Duncan Hill and Jamie Mackay were desperate defenders. Callan Tenabel was a tireless ruckman, providing plenty of opportunities for his ruck-rovers, Mark Purcell, Joel Anderson and Matthew Hayes. Captain, Kent Begely, showed great determination, while Giles Craig was a fearless forward. MR I COCHRANE - Coach

The season started poorly with 100 point plus losses to Brighton, Wesley and Xavier. A better performance against Caulfield lead on to a comfortable win against Carey. A heavy loss to St Kevin's Tarnished our hopes but we were keen to finish the season well. Despite a poor showing against Geelong Grammar and another heavy loss inflicted by Melbourne Grammar, so that none of us expected the events of the following week. Brighton made the return trip down to our main oval full of confidence after a 150 point victory in the first weeks. We, on the other hand, were keen to enjoy our final match together. College lead all day and was able to hold on in the final quarter for a memorable victory. This final win made up for the losses throughout the season. Players who battled gamely throughout the season and deserve mention are: Samuel Christensen, Timothy Birks, Nicholas Sanders, Angus Ward and Michael Hildebrand.

in the lower division against Scotch Cs where we battled hard all game and got home by only a few points. Unfortunately on arrival into the higher division we seemed to lose our early season spark and we only recorded one more victory for the year, that coming against St Kevin's. It must be pointed out though that we were extremely unlucky in the last part of the season to lose our inspirational captain Travis Toyne in unfortunate circumstance. We had to face the very talented Xavier Bs twice in a row followed two weeks later by the world's greatest ever B side, Scotch. We were denied the opportunity to play our arch rivals Geelong Grammar. The best performances for the year came from Rob Macafee, Lucas Arnup, Mark Hannah, Jake Clark, Andrew Morphett and Edward Gordon. I would tike to thank all the players for their efforts this year and I wish them all the best in their footballing futures. MARK WILLIAMS-Coach

Thanks must go to Mr Clifford whose persistence throughout the season was rewarded in the final game.

YEAR9A

DAVID FARIS 10B The football Season of 1996 was generally successful for the 10B team. The overall result for the year was five to four win loss ratio. The season started with our team being (placed) in the lower of two divisions. However the boys began displaying magnificent team work and understanding almost from the word go and it was not long before we received the call up to the higher division. Our first game was against Xavier Cs on the infamous Xavier Chapel oval where we battled through the slush to record a resounding victory. Our next two games saw us embarrass the B sides of Brighton and Haileybury by margins well in excess of ten goals. Perhaps our best game of the year came in the fourth and last game

The 1996 9As had an up and down season with 4 wins and 6 losses. With a pretty bad season the previous year, the team was destined for a better season, especially with newcomers such as Alistair Munro and James Cole who added some much needed height to the line up. Tom Wettenhall and Sam Parsons added some spice to the forward line. We are not a tall side and thus relied on our running game, lead by the likes of Nick Casboult, Charles Galbally, Tom Fallaw and Tim Clarke. We did not have a big ruckman, however the leap of Sam Percy won out regularly, as he would send us deep into attack with his punch. The leading goal kicker for the year was Marlon Law. He was well supported in the forward line by Anthony Favaloro, Eamon Donnelly and Alistair Munro. The backline was the strongest part of our team with Daniel Gray and Matt Goldsworthy across halfback and Rhett Parsons, Sam Lindquist,

Bowen Lockwood

Jon Hildebrand and Richard Drummond solid in the last line of defence. Although we only won 4 of 10 games we were competitive throughout the season. All the boys had an enjoyable year and look forward to next season.

9B The 1996 football season ended with mixed results after a promising start. Our first match was against Xavier and we narrowly won that by two points with good work up forward by Anthony Favalora and Steven Green who was strong in defence ... unfortunately we lost both of these players to the As a few weeks later. Our next three games proved one sided, with easy wins over Brighton, St Kevin's and Haileybury. We lost our game in round five, to Carey. Tim Waller, Justin Oxley and Andrew Pettig were the better players. Round six also proved tough, as we were up against Xavier. Immanuel Barbour, Angus Birrell, Luke Kenfield, Troy Doak and Andrew Smurthwaite all played well; however, we were not quite good enough to take, the points. After the holidays we defeated Caulfield and Wesley before losing to Melbourne Grammar and St. Kevin's in the last two rounds. Ben Dendle, Simon Robertson, Joel Taylor and Tim Farr all played consistently over this period.

Touch Football at the College experienced a boom this year with an increasing number of students willing to take on the challenge of a new sport. The team consisted of: Rod Crawford (Captain), Lachlan Urquhart, Alistair McArthur, Aisha Ryan, Claire Smurthwaite, Michael Ellis, Hayden Greaves, David Faris, Rachel Crawford and Katie Gladman. With the guidance of Mr Clifford, we progressively improved throughout the season and were considered dark horses coming into the finals of the local competition. We played at near full potential to eliminate the Untouchables - the Geelong College staff team - but unfortunately could not follow up in the preliminary final, finishing 3rd overall.

The season finished with a 6-4 win : loss ratio, which was a reasonable result. Thanks must go to our coaches Mitch and Terry who devoted a lot of time and effort to the team. Team: James David, Anthony Goode, Edward Spokes, Alastair Randell, Simon Robertson, Ben Dendle, Owen Hickey, Luke Kenfield, Andrew Smurthwaite, Andrew Torney, Gareth Donald, Will Jennings, Tim Farr, Michael Johnstone, James Polkinghome (captain), Joel Taylor, Steven Green, John Oxley, Immanuel Barbour, Troy Doak, Anthony Favaloro, Andrew Pettig, Tim Waller, Angus Birrell. TIM WALLER and ANGUS BIRRELL

Greater success was realised when we travelled to Melbourne to compete in the U18 Schoolboys Touch Championships. With the assistance of, Katie Gladman, Rachel Crawford and Claire Smurthwaite, we played intensely in all five matches, finishing victorious and impressing the state selectors. Many thanks must go to Mr Clifford who sacrificed his Sunday to man the minibus and coach us so enthusiastically. Because of his efforts, the future of touch football in the school looks bright.

THE HUNT The small sweet smell of hazelnuts wafts through the fluffy white air. Churning around the broad trunks a breeze runs. There is a hot spring curling down to the mountain lake. The steam rises to form a light mist. Above in the pale morning sky, a cloud sails by, the sun peeking over the horizon, the red-gold leaves crisp and damp, thawing out. Short itchy buffalo grass spreads out over the ground. The grass is laced with rugs, and baskets bulging with food. The women and children flock to the baskets, taking out wrapped food and setting out the drinks. The orange juice, and cool champagne is poured into plastic flutes while lemon slice is swallowed piece by piece. The women talk to each other in a very friendly manner, shallow yet polite. Everyone is glad that the year is over, the children do not yet believe it. They sit brother next to sister, trying to hide their discomfort. It is a year since they last met. Some have grown up, some have grown arrogant. Everyone is excited at what the hunt shall bring. The men wait in their red jackets with gold buttons. The horses snort and paw at the ground in impatience. The hounds are held on leads, sniffing for scents. They all feel chivalrous, as they have given the fox such a head-start. Straw flicks to the sides, dirt slides under paws, racing through the fields the fox runs. The rich red fur covered in dew, sharp eye darting left and right. The sharp nose pointing ahead. The time keeper stops his watch, dropping it into his velvet lined pockets. The horn is raised to his lips and his breath vibrates, blaring out to all, the hunt is on! The leashes slip from the hounds' necks and they break into a run. The dogs bay at each other and find the scent racing out after the fox. The men with their fine rifles hung across their shoulders push the horses to a canter. Through the valley towards the forest the fox runs, scratched paws and legs, fur plastered to its body. Its eyes are dulled with exhaustion, nose jolting side to side with tongue hanging out it flies from the closing baying. The hounds have the fox in their sights now as they run down the slope towards the valley. The front runners of the pack are biting at the fox's heels, slowing the fox up, bit by bit. Fifty meters away the forest stands, gloating, as the fox is taken down. His last struggles lost under the pack. The men scare the dogs off their prize, a shot through the head finishes the job. The remains of the fox are laid across a horse and the hunters trot off bragging about their part in the hunt. At the picnic the food has been parceled away, the champagne bottles are empty. The hunters are met with cheers as they come, their red coats lay straight on their shoulders, and their buttons are still shiny. And as the group stands, chatting and laughing, blood runs from the horse's back forming a puddle on the ground.

THE FLAUTIST She stands poised, with flute pressed to her lips and pauses for a moment, eyes alight. The first note, barely heard, like silver slips, and floats like gossamer into the night. Softly at first, the notes, a crystal stream, expand and grow to fill the thirsty air, then gush and tumble, swirl and glistening gleam, now tossed like droplets o'er the listeners there. In silence rapt each ear attends entranced, as music cascades over, washing clean the darkest souls in evil well advanced, and stirs the hearts of goodly men between. Disharmony will oft bring men undone, yet music briefly joins us all as one. KATE FITZPATRICK-Year 10

WAR Fear can be seen, In every man's eyes, No time to think, No time to realise. Bullets fly by, It happens so fast, Take the next step, Shot down at last. Stuttering machine guns, Sweep no mans land, Anonymous bodies, Buried in the sand. Barbed wire coils, Shrapnel flying The screech of shells, So many dying. SARAH CHAPMAN-Year 8

PURPLE Purple looks like royal kings and queens. Purple tastes like Cadbury's chocolate creams. Brown luscious cubes melting in my mouth. It's the smell of violets after rain. Purple is the sky on a hot summer's night. Purple are the clouds when a thunder storm rolls in. Grapes and jelly a purple taste. Cold toes on a frosty morning. Blackcurrants and blueberries freshly picked. I've finally hit a purple patch, tranquillity at last.

DEATH Farmer, what does death mean to you? Death means hope for new growth. Fireman, what does death mean to you? THE BATHROOM Squirls of toothpaste on the wall, Cakes of soap both large and small Lots of water everywhere, Tiny soapsuds in my hair. Toilet paper rolling round, In the bath and on the ground. My little sister pressing flush, Trying to find her comb and brush. The cat is sitting on the sink, Trying to get a bit of a drink. Sponges flying to and fro. While I'm wondering where to go Dodging water as it splashes, Then the heater spits and flashes. Water rises from the shower, (Dad's been there for half an hour!) Bubbles babble like a shake, The bath keeps running like a snake. Mum is drinking mild champagne, While my brother shaves his mane. Barbie's floating in the tub, Shaded by a plastic shrub. The dog is chewing up the toys, Making quite a lot of noise. Chaos thrives throughout the room If you enter you're in for doom!

Death means the life of a hero. Grandma, what does death mean to you? Death means a lot of happy memories. Priest, what does death mean to you? Death means to be grateful.

CHARACTERISATION He looked like an ape, only larger. I sink back behind the outer folds of the bushes, afraid that he might have seen me, but he seemed only interested in carving a small piece of rock he held in his hand. My mind flicked back to the National Geographies I used to read at home, and in particular to a certain article about the first homo-sapiens. What I was seeing was obviously some sort of an ancient cave man, isolated from civilization in this remote part of Papua-New Guinea. Thick, coarse hair covered his body except for his face which was instead layered with bristle. His frame was thicker than any I had seen in current humanity, the obvious result of much larger bones and of living without anything to protect from the cold except for the layers of taut muscle and fat surrounding the bones. My heart pumped strongly as I realized what a discovery I had made. My hands were moist with sticky, nervous sweat. I took the camera from around my neck. I cursed in annoyance as I realized that I would have to use a flash because it was too dark. Slowly I pressed the button. The ape-man grunted and then roared as the light from the flash caused him to turn his face to the brightness. I stood rooted to the ground as he rose from his position on the ground and started running towards me EDWARD JEREMIAH - Year 9

A DEATH ... Again the sword slipped in, and sliced the tender flesh, then in an instant it was gone. It was not his first kill - he attacked like a consummate professional, with little or no effort. Again his sword was reddened, another faceless victim fell before him, and still his eyes remained cold and lifeless. He was a picture of strength, tall and broad, his sword held powerfully before him. Blood dripped from the razor sharp edge - dead man's seed - yet another succumbed. Suddenly he looked upon a puddle and saw the image of a man, a man whose face reflected the tragedy of his surrounds. The vivid streaks of fresh blood upon his face looked strangely normal, like they had always been there. But he didn't like what he saw, the face of a mad man sneered back at him, a man he knew not. Even a man like him, so brave and dignified, seemingly so absolutely normal, could be but a hair's breath away from insanity.

THE LANDS OF COLOUR

Aware of on-coming foe, his sword cut the air, and he smiled with satisfaction in the sunlight. With sudden invincibility, he attacked with renewed vigour, and those before him were cut like dolls, returned from whence they came. Onward he marched, unknowing eyes fixed upon men already dead, thought absent without leave.

I'm looking for the land of happiness, I'm looking for a land that's priceless, I'm looking for a land with good opportunities, I'm looking for a land that's not lifeless.

Such was his state, that he failed to comprehend the axe before him and the pain he was so unaccustomed to. The blood he so desired, was black, for it was his own. The last thing he saw was a face peering at him with vindictive and knowing eyes, a face he knew only too well

Next, I'll try the land of White, White is pure, blank, calm and wan, Wintery and cold with silver snow, Colourless, pale with a deadly glow, It's a place that is not really there, For this land I have not much care. Now I'll try the land of Blue, Blue is dejected, doleful and dreary, Melancholy, moody, mournful and lewd, Nasty, naughty, wicked and crude, Trouble is all this land is worth, It's not a place to bring new birth.

WINTER Frozen fingers, frozen toes, Dirty hanky, runny nose. Netball training in the rain, Heaters broken, what a pain! The grass is wet, the sun is lost, I dropped two dollars in the frost. The butterflies have gone to bed, I have a migraine in my head. The flu's arrived, and I'm the first, To catch it at its very worst, But winter isn't all that bleak, At least I miss school for a week. CAROLYN MICHALACK - Year 9

A TREE OF LIFE Outside my dining room window, across the dusty street stands a large Jacaranda tree. It provides shade from the fierce sun when I sit down to eat and a focus for my wandering thoughts. Life in the tree is never static, its strong branches are home to a moving band of creatures. My favourites are the tiny squirrels which dart about collecting food. What amazes me most about them is their ability to run down the trunk and stop upside-down, instantaneously. It seems almost as if they are defying gravity. Occasionally a monkey troop comes through, chattering, bounding and frightening all of the birds away. The tiny babies cling with their tiny claws to their mother's abdomen, while the mothers are leaping across the branches. When they come to a stop they begin to nurse and feed their babies, reflecting the way which humans look after their young .

The answer came in a most unexpected way. Two days later I arrived home to find the tree trunk painted white, with a picture of Saarasudhi, Lakshmi and Gansh (three important Hindu gods) draped in a garland of jasmine. The rubbish pile gone. Perplexed I asked our driver, who is my source of street knowledge, what had happened. His reply made me feel more like a foreigner than ever. The driver next door had been watching the ongoing saga and had simply turned the tree into a temple. JAMES PINNIS-Year 12

The tree canopy changes with the seasons, as does the bird life, of which the only species familiar to me are the Indian minors and the ravens. When the tree is in bloom the street is covered by a magnificent sea of purple. At times I am forced to look at street level - not my favourite sight in India but impossible to escape. At least at this time of the year, the squalor is partly hidden by the umbrella of purple. One of the most amazing sights is when the old man from next door carries out his ritual of collecting a cup full of the powerful purple flowers for his daily puja (a Hindu religious ceremony). The ritual, as with all Indian rituals, has a distinctive patter to it. He fills the cup then shakes it to settle the petals and create more room. When there is no more room he flattens the top and selects one perfect flower from the tree to place on top. Each morning the sweepers (members of the untouchable class), sweep all the leaves, dirt, rubbish and flowers in to the marked out rubbish spot at the corner of the street, where it is to be collected daily. For some unknown reason, one day the sweepers made the pile at the base of the Jacaranda tree instead of at the rubbish spot. The daily rubbish collection, as with most things in India, does not always happen. In the week that followed, our now daily arguments with the sweeper, who refused to clear the mess away, became increasingly intense. The pile along with its stench grew, and soon also became the local household rubbish dump. Soon the ragpickers were going through the pile daily, all of this going on under our beautiful tree. Arguments with neighbours were useless as they say nothing beyond their compound walls. After relentless seeking our driver managed to locate the sweeper's supervisor, who could not understand why we had a problem with the rubbish dump outside our home, nevertheless the problem was easily fixed, he dropped a lit match into it. The tree was scorched by the smouldering fire, along with the telephone pole next to it, not to mention the burnt through telephone wires, which were not fixed for a week. Unfortunately, the next day the rubbish pile began to grow again, despite our protests and our arguments with the sweeper. Our guards and our cook became involved first as translators but as the situation began to deteriorate they also joined in the arguments, in their own right. Again the fire was lit but this time it was extinguished with our garden hose before it could eat through the phone lines. Nevertheless I awoke the next morning to a smouldering pile of ashes, no phones and an even more seriously scorched tree. As foreigners we had no idea which authorities to contact (in India it is hard to know if the authorities actually exist), and having no phones didn't help. But amongst all of this my primary concern was still how to save the tree? It had gone from providing a home to birds and animals, and working as a giant umbrella from the sun, to be the centre of a rubbish dump.

HOUSE

GUILDS

In 1954, noted Japanese craft writer Soetsu Yanogi wrote in his book The Unknown Craftsman, 'No machine can compare with a man's hands. Machinery gives speed, power, complete uniformity and precision, but it cannot give creativity, adaptability, freedom, heterogeneity. These the machine is incapable of, hence the superiority of the hand, which no amount of rationalisation can negate. Man prefers the creative and the free to the fixed and standardised'. The world has changed a great deal since 1954, yet these prophetic words by Yanogi could well be applied to the creative world of 1996. We as a society, are constantly bombarded with tools and machinery that will, so we are told, do things bigger, better and more efficiently. But what is efficiency if we lose sight of what a person's hands can achieve when taught and trained in the proper manner. In the House of Guilds we try to look after the interests of both the hand and the machine. The Austin Gray Centre is, I believe, the creative heart of the Senior School and the House of Guilds is placed at the central core. During 1996 I have been encouraged by the large number of students right throughout the school who have utilised our facilities and upon walking through our doors have involved themselves in the creative process. I am pleased to report that a significant number of Preparatory School students attend the HOG after school and on weekends and at the Year 8 Orientation Days, many are already familiar with the HOG and what it offers. The early part of the year saw a keen and dedicated group of students from Years 9,10,11, and 12 spend many hours during lunchtime and after school producing the sets and props for the School Production. This was the second year many of these students had given their time, and I would like to thank them for all their hard work. It would have been difficult to create such works without their help. In particular, thanks must go to Koren Irving, Louise Lochhead, Emily Chakir, Alyshe Minnie, Caroline Nordang, Liam Cochrane, Melissa Tan, Josette Loomes, Claire Coghill, Tammy Rantall, Andy Robinson, Ross Watson, Tom Anderson and the Year 11 drama students. It was a great deal of fun and certainly a rewarding experience for all those involved. During Term I we had Mr Hood standing in for Mr Cummins who was on long service leave, and we thank him very much for his enthusiasm and input. During the course of the year a small and dedicated group of Year 9 students have made good use of the HOG. Their spark (some more than others!) and desire to make good use of their time has seen a number of high quality pieces in wood created and some fun times had by all. There are many, many pieces of work which are created during the course of the year in the House of Guilds. Whether it was made by a Year 6 student or a Year 12 it still involves the same amount of care and attention, and with every creative achievement, a strong sense of worth is attained. In many ways we aim to excite in a creative manner, and in most cases I believe we manage to do this. The House of Guilds is also used extensively by the outside community as a resource workshop, and this creates a strong link between the community and the College. At any stage during the day, College students could be working alongside members of the public. During the latter part of 1996 and early 1997 we will be looking at increasing numbers of HOG members, but at the same time ensuring that College students have a generous amount of access to the HOG. No doubt the highlight of the Creative Arts year was Arts Week which was held in

September. The number of students participating was extremely pleasing and I am sure that next year's event will be bigger and perhaps will cater for the numbers a little better. But congratulations must go to you, the students, for your willingness to get involved and get your hands dirty! Finally I would like to thank the HOG staff, Mr Egan, Mr Andrews, Miss Ross, Mr Cummins and Mr Hood for their invaluable assistance this year. It would be impossible to run a place like the HOG without you. To Mr John Worner, Ms Trish McQuinn and Mrs Linda Gallus thank you for your input and help throughout the year. A final word from Yanogi, "Beyond all question of new or old, the human hand is the ever present tool of human feeling, whereas the machine, however new, is soon out of date".

ARTS WEEK 96 The six sub-areas of the department, namely Graphic Communications, Wood Technology, Studio Art, Textiles, Ceramics and House of Guilds, have each worked independently and progressively this year, but came very close together in September for a brand new project - ARTS WEEK '96. (see special report). Proposed by Mr Philip Taylor, the idea for a concentrated bringing together of the arts that offered all College students the opportunity to participate, was ambitious, but received wholehearted support from all Austin Gray Centre staff and from the Principal. The end result was total success, tired staff and much labour to restore Morrison Hall, but already planning is in progress for 1997.

SAFETY Within the Austin Gray Centre the greatest amount of involvement is of the 'hands-on' type, and consequently the equipment and facilities have to be up-to-date, safe, and offer every chance for interested students to fulfil their creativity. This year we have engaged a professional firm to report on safety, noise and health for an ongoing overview of staff/student well-being. A number of areas are to be targeted to ensure continued daily security of mind and safety for all. With belt driven and revolving machinery, hot kilns, chemicals, and dozens and dozens of electrically driven devices, one can obviously see the necessity for this. DISPLAY Exhibitions of year level work have been held in the Gallery during each term and the remainder of the school continues to observe what has been created in the Austin Gray Centre. At the time of writing this report it is proposed to hold the Years 11 and 12 final exhibition in the Foyer of the Great Hall at Deakin University, Woolstores Campus. This will be the first exhibition held in this building and will present challenges to staff. ARTS ASSISTANT Over the past two years the department has benefited from the appointment of an Arts Assistant. The first two appointees have left to pursue further study, or employment, as in the case of Ms Tricia McQuinn, and we have been sorry to lose them. Our current assistant is

COMPUTER AIDED ART AND DESIGN The greatest change that has come to the Austin Gray Centre in 1996 has undoubtedly been the Computer Aided Design Studio. This occupies the former art-history room and has taken a number of months to reach Stage One. New carpet, new blackout curtains, new tablet-armed chairs, wiring, screen, white-board and the room painted out, have created an outstanding basis for this facility. For Stage One, 1996, a high-powered File Server is coupled to six perimeter Workstations (Stage Two 1997, a further nine stations), which in turn have a single-pass Scanner and an A4 black and white Laser Printer networked to them. The workstations are quite powerful because of the need to work in moving graphics. The programs that currently run are Photoshop, Corel Draw, and Autocad. The room also has facilities for Video projection on a new maxi-size TV screen, coupling this to computers for Data Show (a projection of a live computer screen through a special overhead projector onto a very large wall screen), twin carousel slide projectors, and a fully functional colour photo-copier. All staff have spent a valuable term in weekly professional training learning to use the technology and present it for student use. Once students are introduced to the amazing possibilities offered by this technology they see endless opportunities for the making of computer aided art.

CERAMICS The pottery studio continues to intrigue students and the amount of work made puts stress on the kilns. The continuing demand to work in three dimensional art has grown to the extent that twelve students from Year 12 made it their centre of creativity this year. Their constructions ranged from stoneware relief, to raku, to wheel work, slab construction and sculpture. To aid this, a new roofed area at the rear of the House of Guilds has been created to offer shelter for the raku kiln and space for a further tall gas fired kiln, possibly to be constructed in 1997. The Parents and Friends' Committee were supportive of the Ceramics Studio this year in providing funds for a new device called a slab roller. The machine enables quick and accurate creation of large pieces of clay to a thin consistent thickness. The roller is made from stainless steel and should give many years of service. TEXTILES 1996 has been an exciting year in the Textiles studio. Students have responded to the light and spacious environment and the well equipped printing facility. Year 9s have been introduced to a range of possibilities in Textile design through their various projects. Year 10s have explored design and construction and the Semester 2 quilt project in particular has stimulated imagination, producing some beautiful quilts based on 'Signs of the Zodiac'. Screen printing, machine embroidery and felt-making have been favored techniques this year with both Year lis and Year 12s. Some students have developed a strong sense of individual style as they complete their artworks. Having students working side by side on their artwork creates an energetic and stimulating atmosphere.

1996 has seen an incredible increase in the variety of work produced at all levels in Graphic Communication. The Computer-aided techniques now available to senior students have led to various 'animations' being produced as folios for sections of CATs. These animations show both the students' design and technical skills, hence a higher grade is attainable and a depth is added to student folios not possible before. The four groups of Year 9s gained valuable experience in Logo design and pictorial drawing during their single semester start to Graphic Communication. The two groups of Year 10 students completed work of a very high standard in many areas. Both Years 9 and 10 exhibited their work in the school gallery. STUDIO ART/PAINTING 1996 has been another fruitful year in the Painting Studio. While the Year 12 class was very small by comparison with other years, some exceptional work was produced. Feme Millen's grand homage to Eastern Mysticism and the Landscape took the form of a nine feet high landscape panel from which projects a huge winged bird, accompanied by two smaller panels of anthropomorphic landscapes. Katie Weber's visual ode to the clash of new and old wrought by the Russian Revolution took the form of three intelligent and technically quite brilliant compositions. Daniel Lidgett's table, chair, bottle and goblets, all turned in laminated polychrome timbers, are a credit to his skills as a designer and woodcrafter. The Year 10 program has undergone some changes for the better, with two terms' work being based on excursions to the National Gallery of Victoria, to see the Fauve and Turner exhibitions. These were greatly appreciated by the students, and the high quality of the subsequent work produced in the studio speaks for the success of this approach. With the establishment of stage one of the Computer Aided Design Centre, students from all year levels have been able to utilise this facility in the 'design and development phase' of various projects. The CAD Centre adds an exciting new dimension to the AGC, offering the potential for the completion of finished artwork produced entirely on computer. MR T EGAN - Director of The Austin Gray Centre

WOOD

TECHNOLOGY

1996 has been an exciting year for this creative area of study. New developments in the curriculum have challenged the students to involve themselves fully in the design and production of their own work. This new direction has proven very popular, with an unprecedented number of students electing to study the subject. Wood Technology is a subject area which fully embraces the co-educational ethos of The Geelong College. Year 9 students were involved in the construction of bird feeders earlier in the year. Each student investigated, designed and produced a different project and the results were wonderful. The students demonstrated their dedication to and interest in Wood Technology by repeatedly challenging themselves with the standard and complexity of their work.

Technological Design and Development was introduced this year as a VCE study to replace Materials and Technology. 1996 saw the implementation of Units 1 and 2 with an enrolment of 17 students. These students were challenged by both the design and practical components of the course. The standard of the work produced was exceptionally high. This was demonstrated when the work of two students, Jaron Martin and Nicole Raven, was selected to be part of the National Timber and Working with Wood exhibition. This prestigious exhibition, held at the new Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, has proven to be a showcase for the work of new designers and Nicole and Jaron are to be congratulated on their fantastic achievement.

In 1997, T.D and D & D units 3 and 4 will be introduced. This is the first time in the history of The Geelong College that students have been given the opportunity to follow through their interest in this area of study to Year 12 level. Currently seven students have elected to take up the challenge. Units 3 and 4 will provide these students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a creatively demanding subject area. It is important for students at the lower levels of study to be exposed to the work of senior students. Students at The Geelong College have proven to be both professional and artistic in their approach to this subject. With the introduction of the study at Year 12 level, all students will no doubt welcome the challenge and excel. MS J ROSS

DRAMA OVERVIEW - SENIOR SCHOOL 1996 has been a magnificent year for drama! Senior School rehearsals involved one hundred enterprising students in many aspects of dramatic craft to stage three major productions of differing genre. Performers and backstage crew of intriguing versatility accepted the challenge of working on a musical extravaganza, a Chekhovian comedy and a Shakespearean play. Talent and creative energy abounded in all three productions ensuring that the standard of performance remained remarkably high, as in previous years. It was encouraging to see the emergence of new talent and interesting to observe some mature students take on challenging roles and realize more fully their dramatic potential. The first play of the year was 'Toad of Toad Hall'. The newly arrived Year 9's from the Preparatory School and further afield, embracing every opportunity to make friends and encounter exciting experiences, came in droves to the 'open casting' auditions. The co-directors, Mrs Knezevich and Miss Edmonds, worked a hectic ten week rehearsal schedule, dividing their time between dancers, singers, ensemble players and principals. Early exploration of characterisation through improvisation in rehearsals helped the actors give brilliant performances as animals. Nine performances catered for the large number of family, friends and local primary school children who packed into the Morrison Hall to watch the sixty strong cast enact Kenneth Graham's classic fantasy. The cast used the thrust stage well and maintained focus and belief throughout the two hour show. The set, costumes, lighting and make up were bright and simplistic, in keeping with the theme of the play and the atmosphere was one of explosive colour and youthful enthusiasm. It was a different theatre convention entirely for the Year 12 production of Anton Chekov's play "The Cherry Orchard", directed by Mrs Knezevich. The play was mounted over an intensive six week rehearsal period following half a year of historical research and exploration of the Stanislavsky Method. The 'Comedy' ranks supreme as a human tragedy of dispossession. The principal theme, the passing of the old semi-feudal order, is symbolised in the sale of the Cherry Orchard

owned by Madame Raneuskaya. The cast's familiarity with Chekov's work was apparent in their remarkable production.

Their subtle and skilful portrayal of characters and the ease with which they combined humour and pathos in the 'nastroenie', the poetically shifting moods, was excellent. The production sustained a good balance between detail and clarity; all the characters took their time to establish themselves, and changed and evolved as they interacted with one another. Miss Edmonds created a naturalistic

piece for 'Twelfth Night' which was staged by Year lis. She employed the stage convention of outdoor theatre and in her capable directing hands the production shone with wit and humour. As a new venture in 1996, three Year 10 drama students initiated a community theatre project that took their class plays into Shannon Park, Chilwell Primary School, Belmont Community Integration Centre and Campbell House. The plays, 'Snow White' and 'So you're different' and sketches, were self-devised pieces of varying performance styles ranging from the farcical and abstract to the romantic and realistic. The actors drew on their repertoire of theatre skills to entertain the delighted and captivated audiences. Preparations are underway for the Year 9 and 10 drama nights to be held late November and early December. The evenings are presentations of selected drama works, reflecting classwork undertaken throughout the year. The mini productions offer opportunities for the classes to work and experiment together, to get to know their own and each other's potential and are a lot of fun. The social and artistic demands that a gruelling rehearsal schedule makes upon the students and staff are great. We are fortunate to have a team of teachers whose unstinting hardwork and creative talents are in plentiful supply. I take pleasure in acknowledging the dedication of the art, music, textile and woodwork technology departments for their support. A production team is always pleased when audiences are appreciative of their creative talents, commitment and sheer hard work. This year's thespians should feel immensely proud that College theatre goers were thrilled. FIONA KNEZEVICH

TOAD OF TOAD HALL The premier play on The Geelong College dramatic calendar was the timeless story 'Toad of Toad Hall', based on the classic tale of 'Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Graham in an adaptation by A.A. Milne. The production was an excellent attempt at bringing to life the all time classic. There was colour, Mrs Knezevich, music, weasels, stoats and ferrets. This combination along with brilliant acting from thespians in Years 9 to 12 made an exciting piece of theatre with a comical and entertaining edge. The fabulous toad was played by Nathan Seekts (Year 11) amidst green make up and colourful shirts. The character as played by Nathan was extroverted, clever and extremely 77m Harris witty. With a supporting cast of Rat (Gareth Ellis, Year 10), Mole (Eliza Newson, Year 10) and Badger (Michael Clayton, Year 9) the four main actors led the cast to recreate a story that has appealed to all generations for many years. The cast would not have been complete without the characters with smaller roles. The performances from the stoats, weasels and ferrets along with the rabbits and squirrels were outstanding. As were the human characters, including Bindi Menzies as Marigold, Genevieve Claringbold as the Nanny, Dana Ryan as the Washerwoman and Bethan Hazel as the Aunt. Other human characters were Phoebe (Susan McMillan), the Usher (Angela DeStefano) as well as the Policeman and the Gaolers (Robbie Macafee, Sam Percy and Tim Williams). From the first rehearsal the air was brimming with excitement and wonder at the magic the Co-Directors: Mrs Fiona Knezevich and Miss Annie Edmonds would perform. Along with their Assistant Director, Julian Robert, the three conferred, made coffee, shouted, made herbal fennel twig tea and directed with flair. No other directors could come close to the emotion charged rehearsals Mrs Knezevich co-conducted, with laughter, tears and thoughts of becoming a Buddhist to escape from reality. The way in which the directors established a special rapport with many of the actors was a credit to the production as it made a very compatible atmosphere in which to work and create. Also the production helped establish new friendships and relationships. For the many junior students involved in the play the production was a way to meet new people from every year level in the school. All cast members were very

tolerant towards each other and this helped the production to succeed. The many hours of rehearsal endured by the cast soon paid off. There were ten admirable shows performed both in the afternoons and evenings. Each member of the cast was at his/her respective peak during the 'production week' and remained exceptionally focused, so a highly energetic and quality piece of theatre could be completed. 'Toad of Toad Hall's' success could not have been possible without the dedication of the actors and the thankless hours the directors contributed to make the play a worthy achievement. LINCOLN COAD

TOAD OF TOAD HALL - PRODUCTION CREW In the middle of first term, came the announcement! The production for '96 was 'Toad of Toad Hall'. With this came the plea for students to take part in the construction of the set. These pleas were answered by such students as Koren Irving, Alysha Minne, Louise Lochhead, Tamara Rantall, Emily Chakir, Laura Rostron, Melissa Tan, Claire Coghill, Josette Loomes, Joanna Kouimtzis, Ross Watson, Rhys Hunt, Andy Robertson, Michael Parker, Liam Cochrane, Lisa Oldham, Duncan Couchman, Caroline Nordang and Hamish MacLean, who were to work under the expert guidance of Mr Taylor. The team produced a variety of sets: The wild woods, Badger's house, the river banks and river, Toad's mansion and the dungeon. These sets were then incorporated into the large realistic set that would bring the play to life.

combination. We combined persistence with despair, hope with fear and laughs with tears to eventually produce what we can proudly say was a polished piece of theatre, and one which we hope has made our director, Mrs Knezevich, and Anton Chekov himself, proud. As the music begins the audience is ushered into a nineteenth century world, a world of ball gowns and bustles, and carefully placed hats and wigs. We are at the estate of Madame Ranevskaya. As we commence the household awaits the return of Madame Ranevskaya (Bree Taylor) who is returning home after several years abroad. Her daughter Anya (Nicole Holmes) accompanied by her governess, Charlotte (Alex Galaska) have been to Paris to fetch her.

This job, often unappreciated by the rest of the school is just as important as the play itself. It involved students in problem solving; in the construction of 3-D props and sets using various materials and in interpreting and listening to the ever changing ideas of the cast. Above all, we were aware that the set must last for a week of punishing performances. A set must be believable for the audience, practical for the cast and allow for the movement of the back stage crew. With lunch time meetings three times a week, some after school construction as the production came closer, and hours of Mr Taylor's time, the set was finished and all was ready for the play to commence on the 28th May! A commendable and valiant effort by all. KOREN IRVING Postscript: This is the second year that many of the crew have given their time to the production of sets for the play. The time and effort which these people put in is invaluable to the success of the school productions and I hope that we have set a precedent which will continue for many years to come.

It emerges that the estate is hopelessly in debt and will have to be put up for sale. Lopakhin (George Taylor), a self made business man whose father was a serf on the estate, suggests that they might save it by selling off the Cherry Orchard for a housing development, but Madame Ranevskaya and her brother Gaev (Lincoln Coad) will have none of it. It has always been assumed that Lopakhin will marry Mmme Ranevskaya's adopted daughter Varya (Annabel Margarey) but he has not yet proposed. Anya, the youngest daughter, is attracted to Trofimov (Julian Robert) a poorly clothed student who had been a tutor to her little brother, drowned in an accident some years before. On the day the estate is to be auctioned, the family gives a party. While the dancing is in progress, Lopakhin arrives and announces that he has bought the estate and the orchard, which he intends to have cut down. The family make plans to leave. Chekov's brilliant work 'The Cherry Orchard', considered by many to be one of the greatest stage plays of all time, is a complex combination of romance and tragedy, filled with passion and heartbreak. Aided by the ever-comical Ross Watson as Epihodov, the elderly manservant Firs (Linda Van Leerdam) and Todd George as Yasha, the play had strong

THE CHERRY ORCHARD As the Year 12 Theatre Studies class gathered in Elliot Theatre one fine afternoon, we knew this was the day we were to find out which play we would be studying for the bulk of the year, and thus, which play we would produce, perform and talk about for the weeks and months to come. It was revealed that this year, the senior production of The Geelong College was to be Anton Chekov's 'The Cherry Orchard'. Little did we know that from this moment on we were to live and breathe 'The Cherry Orchard' as it filled every spare second of our lives. We were consumed by the play, and the Elliot Theatre became our second home. Unbeknown to many, it was from that moment on that Year 12 Theatre Studies class, and others, met religiously every lunchtime, Wednesday night, Friday night and Sunday to rehearse. Any time we had outside this was spent learning lines, and if we had any time outside this, it was spent whingeing about the rehearsal schedule. As a total of seven months work on 'The Cherry Orchard' passed, we realised that we, in fact, only had six weeks of intense rehearsal to get this play ready to perform. It was, therefore, in typical thespian style that we pulled it all together, with absolutely no time to spare.

It was quickly revealed that if you combine a group of stressed students from Years 12,11 and 10, with one very flamboyant director, and throw in a few CATs for good measure, you are likely to have a lethal Julian Robert, Todd George, George Taylor, Ross Watson

emotional charge combined with good humour. Our most sincere thanks go to Mrs Knezevich, to whom we owe all of our success, and we must also thank her for her time, patience and knowledge, and for believing in us when we could not. We also thank Mr Clarke for his knowledge and Miss Edmonds for her encouragement and support. Thanks also go out to all involved in the production of 'The Cherry Orchard', as without the crew behind us we could never have made the play the success it was. For those who saw The Geelong College production of 'The Cherry Orchard', we hope that we were able to transport you into a nineteenth century Russia, and into one of the most beautiful places on earth, with masses of white flowers and blue sky, Anton Chekov's 'The Cherry Orchard'.

were one himself. The old world of peasants in their place was Linda Van Leerdam's creation neatly juxtaposed by Todd George's upwardly mobile servant and George Taylor's thinking rich peasant Lopahkin who actually buys the cherry orchard. Nikki Holmes played young Anya in her correct mix of idealism and late teenage flowering. The next time there is a Year 12 evening it will be with Hedda Gabler taming Judge Brack and the other cocks in the walk. A different giant will be revealed to the Geelong College World - the poetic Ibsen. It is sure to be worth the wait.

CHERRY ORCHARD - A REVIEW Drama in Europe reached one of its few high points at the last turn of a century. The rapid changes in society, particularly in the make up of human beings was commented on by three northern giants. Mad Strindberg concentrated on the relationship of two, the expatriate Ibsen on aspirations in the new world while Chekhov dealt with the coming revolution and the rural devastation brought by new methods. The Geelong College Year 12 Drama class, ably stimulated by the fiery Mrs Knezevich brought real Chekhov to the Elliott Theatre with their Cherry Orchard. The inevitable decay of the landed gentry and its destruction of the morale of those involved was revealed. The aspiration of the revolutionary students with their view of the future was conveyed. The essentially violent and destructive nature of the society in revolutionary Russia was bared for all to see.

Sam Percy, Bethan Hazell

The whole production was necessary for this. The sets were simple and evocative with the audience making up the cherry orchard which was to be axed in the end to most convincing sounds by Kelly Bollen. Costuming was sensitively done so that the ball scene in Act III conveyed the atmosphere of the Russian County House dance. But it was in the collective performances of the cast that showed that they could perform as well as any College students in any area over the last 10 years. Annabel Magarey showed a Varya who has lost out on almost everything in such a way as to bring tears to the eyes. Bree Taylor's Ranyevskaya (one of the great parts of the dramatic canon) got the landowner losing her estate, and herself splendidly. The revolutionary student of the 1890's was captured by Julian Robert as if he Tim Harris, Robert Macafee

MUSIC

REPORT

1996 has been an outstanding year for all students who have contributed to the Music Program at all year levels throughout the College. The music program, for the sake of this report, includes classroom activities, the instrumental and vocal groups which practise after normal school hours and those who have contributed to the production of musical shows. The students at Campbell House participated in a varied program which allowed them to have fun with music through singing, listening, moving, playing, creating and reading. The program was sequential and students had ample opportunity for the development of their musical skills. In second term well known Geelong musician Jon Madin spent a day stimulating, challenging and inspiring students and staff with his music and unique collection of handmade percussion instruments. The workshops and performances were good experiences for all concerned. In Term 4 Suzie Davies presented an entertaining performance of her show 'Rainbows, Trees and Tambourines' to the Early Learning Centre and lower primary levels. The composition and creative music making classes at Middle School have produced some fine results throughout the year. The Year 8 'Composers Workshop' elective, composed and performed their works for parents and friends at the end of Semester 1, and composition activities of many kinds using traditional and electronic instruments occupied an important part of the class music curriculum in all year levels at the Middle School Students in Years 6 and 7 worked in their class ensembles and performances were presented at assemblies. These groups encouraged both experienced and less experienced players, and by Semester 2 all students who commenced instrumental tuition earlier in the year were participating. The Year 8 'Instrumental & Vocal Ensemble' elective worked on a range of challenging pieces under the direction of Mr R Sullivan and Mr B Edwards and performed in the Music Evening during Term 4. The choirs conducted by Mr M Irwin and Mrs S Buchan at Years 4,5,6 and combined 7/8 have produced some strong work and the overall tone of the students was quite beautiful. The Year 4 choir gave an outstanding performance in the Dallas Brooks Hall at the JSHAA Biennial Music Festival in Term 3. Classes at Senior School have progressed with students presenting good work in ensemble playing, composition, theory and aural. In the ensembles, notable mention is made of the vocal, string, woodwind, brass and rock groups who have performed a varied repertoire enthusiastically throughout the year at assemblies and music evenings. Some students played at the Barwon Valley School during their Arts Week in October. Students who presented for AMEB Theory and Practical Examinations gained some outstanding results with the majority in the 'Honours' category.

for afternoon tea and meet popular author Mem Fox both of which they greatly enjoyed. The string ensembles at Campbell House have performed at music evenings and assemblies. The Preparatory String Orchestra, Junior String Orchestra and Secondary Ensemble have performed at assemblies, music evenings and Open Day. The Secondary Ensemble provided the music for the Great Southern Ball held at Drumcondra in August. The Concert Band at the Preparatory School, conducted by Mr R Sullivan and Miss B D'Arcy, has worked well this year and been involved in performances at music evenings and Campbell House. The students of the Junior Band, conducted by Miss B D'Arcy, joined the Concert Band at the beginning of Term 4. They performed enthusiastically at Festival Day. I would like to warmly congratulate all those students who gained placings and honourable mentions in many sections of the Geelong and Ballarat Eisteddfods and name the successful winners that I know of from the various sections as follows: Jarrod Campbell (Year 5) - 1st in the Violin Solo under 10 years. Jessica Tan (Year 7) and Melissa Tan (Year 10) - 1st in the Open String Duet. Melissa Tan - Recipient of the John Eley Encouragement Award for the most promising solo competitor under 21 years. The VCE String Quartet (Melissa Tan, Hannah Jankiewicz, Jane Mitchell and Adam Collyer) - 1st in the Open String Ensemble. The Guitar Ensemble (James Chapman, John Cotton and Adam Collyer) - 1st in the Guitar Jazz Ensemble. The Junior String Orchestra - 1st in School Orchestra Section and Best Performance of the Day. Two Wind Quintets formed and trained by Mr P Hannah have had enjoyable experiences in rehearsal and their performances at assemblies, music evenings and year level dinners have been of a high standard and very well received. Members of the senior group were: Katie Weber, Mr P Hannah, Claire Keith, Katherine Napier and Tim Naylor. The junior group comprised of Kate Fitzpatrick, Hayden Greaves, Katie Notini, Drew Hendry and Mr P Hannah. The Senior Quintet along with the VCE String Quartet also took part in the 'music in the foyer' on the occasion of the 'Elixir of Love' opera organised by the College Foundation in October at GPAC. The Jazz Group under the leadership of Mr Edwards rehearsed each Thursday lunchtime with improvisational skills being a major part of their study. They performed enthusiastically at Geelong's Star Search winning the group instrumental section and they performed at various functions for the School and the community. The members of the VCE String Quartet trained by Ms M Keogh and comprising Melissa Tan, Hannah Jankiewicz, Jane Mitchell and Adam Collyer, with Felicity Emselle taking over from Hannah Jankiewicz late in Term 3, have been in great demand throughout the year. They have learnt a large repertoire of music and have performed to very high standard at year level dinners, assemblies, music evenings at Preparatory

Instrumental music continues to be a dominant part of extra curricular activities for students at the college and there are many notable performances that deserve mention in this report. The Campbell House Strings consisting of 20 students conducted by Mrs U Kamburowski performed admirably at the Early Childhood Development Conference at Deakin University. They were invited to stay Mr Harry Hood - Director of Music

School and Campbell House as well as many community functions which include: the Red Cross Charity Ball, Suma Park restaurant, Barwon Golf Club, Moriac Primary School, the Victorian Women's League at Berkeley Lodge, the opening of Ariston Child Care Centre Newtown, the Multicultural Hostel, the Victorian Dance Society Ball, the Breast Cancer Screening Association and at GPAC and weddings at the Chapel, Rosnashane, Kirrewa Court, the Empire Grill and Barwon Park. The large groups which include: the Senior Concert Band conducted by Mr P Hannah, with its 75 members, is the largest band in the history of music at the school. The Stage Band conducted by Mr B Edwards, String Orchestra conducted by Ms Keogh, and the Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mr H Hood have all rehearsed regularly throughout the year to extend their repertoire and have performed to a very high standard. All groups managed to fit into the Morrison Hall and play for the school at least once during the year. The String Orchestra also performed very well at the Multicultural Hostel in October. The tour to Adelaide with the Senior Concert Band, String Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra was a very worthwhile musical experience for all concerned. The accommodation was very good but the meals left a lot to be desired and provided hours of entertainment discussing from whence they came. The band enjoyed workshops with the South Australian Police Band whilst the string players had a workshop and masterclasses with Mr K Crellin and Ruth Saffir. The groups also performed well at Pultney Grammar School, the Adelaide Zoo and at Pilgrim Church. The culmination of the year for all the large music groups was at the Foundation Concert which has been described as outstanding by many parents, friends and staff. The concert this year was held in the Great Hall of the Deakin University, Woolstores Campus and the music students rose to the occasion with distinction in this magnificent new venue. The groups making up the programme included: the Stage Band conducted by Mr B Edwards, the Preparatory Concert Band conducted by Mr R Sullivan and Miss B D'Arcy, the Preparatory String Orchestra conducted by Ms M Keogh and Mrs U Kamburowski, the Preparatory Secondary Choir Conducted by Mr M Irwin, the Campbell House Strings conducted by Mrs U Kamburowski, the Senior Vocal Ensemble conducted by Mr D Wade and accompanied by Mrs C Edwards, the Senior Concert Band conducted by Mr P Hannah, the Senior String Orchestra conducted by Ms M Keogh and the Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mr H Hood. A special mention of thanks to Mr M Irwin and to those members of staff and parents who volunteered as stage hands and student supervisors. These people allowed the music staff to concentrate on fine tuning and focussing students on their performances.

The Geelong College Choir involving 30 students of mixed voices from Senior School, commenced rehearsals in Term 4 very enthusiastically. They performed at assembly and at the Carols By Candlelight. The music students and staff have also contributed to two very successful musical productions at the College. At Senior School Mr Hannah provided music and sound effects while Felicity Emselle (Year 12) was the official Musical Director for 'Toad of Toad Hall' which involved students from Years 9 to 12 under the direction of Mrs F Knezevich. The production of 'Rat Race', an Australian musical by Keneth Fox, at the Preparatory School was a joint effort between the music and drama departments, and presented entirely by Year 8 students under the direction of Mrs C Mallett. Mr M Irwin was the Musical Director with Brett Owen (Year 8) on trumpet, Marcus Lee (Year 8) on bass synthesizer and sound effects, Derek Weeks (Year 8) on drums, Mr Hannah on reeds and Mrs Buchan on piano. Soloists and chorus members in the musical included both trained and untrained singers. The professional standard of the presentations was a credit to all involved and immensely rewarding for all the hours of hard work put in during the term and the holidays. I would like to thank our Music Captain, Georgina Cameron and Vice Captain, Claire Keith for their enthusiasm and leadership in all musical activities throughout the year. Georgina's report at the Foundation Concert and her reports to the school have been very well received. Both students have been outstanding role models. To the Year 12 students leaving us I wish them every success for their future and thank them for their support. Finally, I would like to thank all the music staff, including the visiting music staff, for their untiring efforts in their dedication to individual student performances, class music and their expertise with ensemble groups. Their attitude is always supportive, positive and professional. Thanks also to Mrs R Wilkinson-Beards, Administrative Assistant and Mr D Jeffery, Music Librarian. They are tireless in their efforts for the Music Department. I look forward to the continual association in 1997 with our special and valued friends of the Parents Music Support Group led by Mrs H Jenner. The support of this group is gratefully acknowledged by the Music Department. MR H HOOD - Director of Music.

FAREWELLS ALASTAIR DEANS Upon the retirement of Bruce McLeod, Alastair joined us for 6 months to teach mathematics and help out with co-ordination of rowing. Alastair, an old Collegian, had spent many years teaching in the Geelong region.

Alastair's students will attest to his infinite patience in helping them deal with their mathematical shortcomings. Always willing to 'pitch in' and give a little extra help in the staff room, Alastair's contribution has been valued and we are thankful for his efforts with us this year. We wish him well in his future plans. DIANE BOURKE We know that tears will flow from students and staff on the day when Diane Bourke leaves Campbell House. Diane has a been appointed Head of Junior School at Melbourne Girls Grammar and she will take up this role at the beginning of January in 1997. Her years as Director of Campbell House have been marked by a leadership style which has made every student, staff member and parent feel acknowledged and nurtured. Diane has spent the past fifteen years building an early childhood education centre of excellence. Few schools in the independent system have the level of involvement of specialist staff. Music, Art, Literature, French and PE all flourish and this early exposure encourages students to reach a high standard of appreciation and achievement which they carry through to their upper levels of schooling. School should be fun and Diane's belief that each child should look forward to coming to school every day has meant that many high points have been built into the planning of the yearly program at Campbell House. Festivals, thematic dress-up days and special lunches and celebrations of achievements often occur and parents' and staff ingenuity has been tested as they've had to invent costumes for Book week, hats for Easter, nativity garments and to dream up an outfit suitable for something like a 'Great Piratical Rumbustification'. Diane's outside interests have always fed into her life at school. She is a talented sportsperson who excels at both team and individual sports. Her involvement in coaching College netball and athletics has made considerable demands on her, but the high standard she had achieved from sportspeople in her teams has made her stand out as a coach. A passion for Italy and Diane's commitment to early childhood education was further developed when she joined the Australian delegation to the Reggio Emilia schools in Northern Italy in January 1996. Diane was awarded a fellowship by The Geelong College Foundation to undertake the trip. Through her Italian experience, further study and through her classroom practice she has developed expertise in the early childhood practices espoused by the Reggio Emilia schools. 1996 has been a rich and affirming year for her. We will greatly miss the educator, enthusiast and fun-loving person who has been a friend to all of us.

JASON BURT Jason Burt leaves Campbell House after only three terms with us but during his time he has established strong ties with the school and thoroughly enjoyed the children and the warmth

and support of the staff. Prior to arriving at The Geelong College Jason taught at Newcomb Primary School for a year and before that had positions in a number of London schools. After the restrictions of schools in the Inner London area it has been refreshing for him to be involved in a school with such abundant space and good facilities. A particular highlight for Jason was to be involved in the Campbell House production 'Home Sweet Home' where he assisted his Year 3 students with learning their lines and preparing themselves for the night. He was able to share their excitement, iron out back stage hitches and calm their nerves as they lined up to go on stage. Jason has accepted a position at Melbourne Grammar, Grimwade, and will be teaching Year 2 in 1997. We know that his enthusiasm and ability to relate to children will endear him to children, parents and staff at that school. ANNIE EDMONDS Miss Annie Edmonds joined the senior College staff during Term 2, 1995, to teach drama. Originally employed on a temporary/relieving basis, her qualities were so impressive that she was offered a full time position for 1996. Annie is a highly creative and charismatic teacher whose achievements in the classroom and theatre are exceptional. She inspires students to have faith in themselves and many benefit not only from her stimulating and challenging lessons, but also her considerable confidence and her happy disposition. Among Annie's achievements was the flamboyant production of 'Toad of Toad Hall', which she co-directed with Mrs Fiona Knezevich. In her capable hands the large cast created believable animal characters that enchanted young children and adults alike. However, Annie's 'piece de resistance' was her imaginative and stylish production of 'Twelfth Night', performed in traditional style under the stars in the cloisters. Much of the success of plays such as the 'The Importance of Being Ernest', 'Misha's Party' and 'The Cherry Orchard', can be attributed to her excellent stage management. Annie is a dedicated and committed teacher who staff and students valued greatly and responded to with warmth and enthusiasm. PAUL GRIPPER Mr Paul Gripper, with his wife Liz and daughter Lucy, arrived in Geelong in July 1995 to continue the tradition of staff exchange with Holmewood House, a Preparatory School in Kent, England. During his time at the Prep. School, Paul was Homeroom Tutor for 8L and was the Homeroom Teacher for 7Q. He taught Social Science and English to students of Years 7 and 8, coached soccer and participated in the Outdoor Education Program. Paul found the educational system and environment different from those at Holmewood House, and he appreciated the opportunities for professional growth offered by his work here. He particularly enjoyed his work in the Outdoor Education Program; Holmewood House does not offer a comparable experience for its students. We will remember Paul for the dedication he has brought to his teaching at the Prep. School, for the care and thoughtfulness he has given to his students and for the friendship and good humour he has brought to our staff.

ALEX GUSBETH After a number of years at St Margaret's School at Berwick, Alex joined the staff at College in January 1991. Alex has involved himself fully in the life of the school over the six years he has been with us. He is a very strong mathematician and his depth of knowledge of the subject and its applications were put to advantage in his teaching and in his contribution in the staff room. He set high standards for his students to achieve and could often be found out of normal class hours giving help. Alex, a talented shot putter himself, brought his expertise and enthusiasm to bear in training throwers of the College Athletics Team. His own children, together with a number of those he has trained, have achieved outstanding success at local, APS and higher levels. He spent a year as Master-in-charge of Athletics. We are grateful for the significant time and effort Alex has given the College over his years with us and wish him success and happiness in his future ventures. MICHAEL KEARY Michael Keary's professional life at The Geelong College, like those of Bert Keith and Ewen McLean, has formed one of those long threads through time of which any institution can be proud. A new graduate, he arrived in 1962 to teach Latin and 'some other literary subject': a requirement satisfied variously by English, History, Religious Education and Classical Civilization. In some years he also taught Ancient Greek in his own free time. Few have taught a pupil who later returned as Principal. Paul Sheahan recalls that Michael's arrival at College provided an intellectual challenge for many of the boys, and that he was responsible for putting Latin 'on the map' at a time when its future was under severe scrutiny. Michael's success as a teacher of Latin was legendary. His high standards, and those of his students, are well reflected by the apology he received one year from a student who 'only scored 91%', thereby reducing the class average. His depth of learning has also made him a point of reference for colleagues, who value his scholarship and wisdom, spiced disarmingly with a sense of humour which relishes irony but never needs to hurt. Michael's good-natured conservatism and 'unforced affection for traditional procedures in preference to the vulgarities of progress' have, as for Thomas Mann's Felix Krull, served him well in the inevitable encounters with modem technology such as computer breakdown: 'You don't get these problems with clay tablets.' Michael has been master-in-charge of tennis for thirty years, coaching almost all teams at one time or another, in both the APS and the Churches' competitions. He has been a Tutor in McArthur House for as long as the writer can remember and has even presided over the occasional tutorial outing or pizza party - though more to his liking, one suspects, were the annual Feasts held with the students of Latin. He has also found opportunities to share with students his love and understanding of horses by taking horse riding trips in the nearby Otway Ranges. Apart from a short stint in England, Michael has taught for all of his career at The Geelong College. Soon after his appointment he took study leave to complete an M.A., and - more recently - to make short visits to Italy, Greece and Jerusalem, always with a study component. Notwithstanding his well-known aversion for meetings, he has been active in the administration and examination of Latin and Greek in Victoria. Few teachers have been so liked and so respected, not only by colleagues, but also by students and their parents, many of whom have sought Michael as teacher for their child almost irrespective of the subject being taught, just to have the benefit of his influence. He imparted knowledge and understanding but, above all, a love of all that is

best in a classical education. He was respected by his students because he was impartial, fair and just and because - as with his colleagues - his sense of humour was never far away. How could a student fail to accept punishment for 'de-fenestrating' his record book? Latin and tennis may continue, but Michael Keary himself is quite irreplaceable. The writer hopes that these lines will express the collected thanks of the College community, past and present, as we wish him well in retirement. Perhaps Agamemnon, in a speech to Clytaemnestra, might be allowed the final word: (God from afar looks graciously upon a gentle master) BRUCE MCLEOD Bruce McLeod spent twenty five years teaching at the Geelong College and in that time enriched the lives of students and staff alike. Prior to joining the College staff in 1971 Bruce and Pam travelled extensively. A three year stint in Canada was followed by a year in England. They returned to Australia to work and to produce two lively sons then took off once again for a two year term at the prestigious American International School in Japan. This broad perspective coupled with a love of mathematics, flying, bushwalking, sport, art, literature, film, vintage cars and theatre, to name a few passions, made Bruce an interesting and most valuable teacher and colleague. Bruce and Pam will be remembered with particular affection by boys who passed through Mackie House from 1975 to 1980. Bruce was an outstanding Head of House and Mackie became an extended McLeod family, a place typified by tolerance and kindness. McArthur students from 1971 through to 1975 also benefited enormously from having Bruce as their Head of House. Those of us fortunate enough to have worked with Bruce will miss his supportive caring nature. He was an example to all in his enthusiasm, sense of adventure and ability to look for the best in each student. We wish Pam and Bruce many more adventures in their retirement and thank them for all they have done for us, above and beyond the call of duty. GEOFF MILLAR Geoff Millar took up his position as Director of Curriculum in 1990, and immediately became embroiled in the College's decision to reconsider the curriculum offering to students. This was a difficult undertaking and we were to see Geoff s strengths displayed during this time. He is an educational thinker who sees beyond the immediate problem. His passion for physics is matched only by the same desire for fairness and rigour. He sees the whole picture and yet has the drive to ensure that the details are in place. Despite his knowledge of and keeness for his own subject he has a wide ranging understanding and on-going interest in many disparate areas. He lists astronomy as a hobby and can also wax broadly on ancient civilisations and where they fit into yet another of his interests, organic evolution, as a whole. The College has been well served by Geoff; alone the stamina to work seventy or eighty hours a week as the norm must be difficult to match. He has bush-walked with students through some of the most beautiful areas of Victoria, has been a determined supporter of the Year 9 Outdoor Education program, helping to refine it so that it more closely accords with the ethos of the school. His interest and care for the Information Technology program throughout the school took him to an international conference in England.

As Geoff leaves we shall miss his quick and lively mind, his eclectic interests, and his esoteric enthusiasm for the novel idea. We wish him well as he returns to his home town, Adelaide, to take up his new appointment as Vice Principal and Head of the Senior School at Scotch. CAROLYN OGSTON Carolyn Ogston commenced teaching at The Geelong College in 1990. She came with a wealth of knowledge regarding early childhood learning, its methodologies- and curriculum. She also brought with her a delightful personality and sense of fun. Carolyn enjoys a party and always encourages those around her to join in the festivities.One particular strength of Carolyn's is her deep understanding of literacy education. For the past five years she has been a homeroom teacher to years one, two and three at Campbell House. During this time Carolyn also undertook a teacher exchange and taught at Holmewood House, Kent, England. Over the past two years Carolyn has co-ordinated the English Curriculum from Years Prep to 6. Everyone who has worked with Carolyn has recognised her outstanding ability in the teaching of English and the devotion with which she tackles curriculum planning, classroom teaching and the creation of an exciting and meaningful learning environment for her students. Carolyn has successfully coached hockey and the junior form of the game - minkey through her years at the Prep, school. Carolyn will be sadly missed, however we wish her well in her new adventure at Melbourne Grammar, Grimwade House.

Little did any of us know then the significance of the impact he was to have on the school in the eleven years he taught at Geelong College. Geoff had many great qualities as a teacher. First, he bore a great love of the classroom. His classes were unconventional, perhaps too noisy for some of the more staid of us, but busy, fun places. Second, he was a committed teacher. A student is his 25-strong Australian history class told me once: 'Mr Peel said if we all get our essays in on the due date, he will have them marked by the next day'. And he did. So involved in his subject matter was he, that he was moved to write a text, Australia: A Changing Culture'. It was a text of great breadth and treated the subject of Australian Studies in a scholarly, but essentially human way. And that sums up the man: essentially human. His commitment extended to all of the various areas of school life in which he was involved; be it on the sporting field or in the boarding house. Third, he was a colleague in the broad sense of that term. 'Peely' was a self appointed mentor to all new staff - and so many of them speak warmly of him and his thoughtfulness towards them. He was a great friend to many of the staff and for those who welcomed Geoff into their lives, we will remember his great generosity - not just in a material way but in a spiritual way too. Fourth, Geoff never lost sight of his religious background and became a leading light in the spiritual life of the College - both in the Religious Studies Department and the wider spiritual life of the students. His idea to put the Religious Studies Department 'on air' on the local radio station was legendary. Geoff, from those who taught with you and those who were taught by you, we wish you luck. DR REN

LYNNE ORD Lynne Ord began teaching at College in 1990 and taught English and Drama. After that initial year, she taught English, Physical Education and Health. In 1994 Lynne married and took a year's leave of absence to travel Europe and parts of Asia with her husband. Much of the journey was by bicycle and Lynne's adventurous nature led them into many exciting situations. In 1996 Lynne became the Physical Education Co-ordinator, still teaching English to Year 8 students and enjoying the new experience of teaching Physical Education to primary students. During her five years at the School, Lynne was a Homeroom teacher for Year 7 and 8 students. She went to Outward Bound and Lizard Island and organised many Year 8 socials. Lynne was an active member of the "Equal Opportunity" group and she worked on costumes for many Year 8 productions. Lynne Ord was a dedicated teacher and a committed member of the school community. She is now teaching Physical Education at Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar in Melbourne to primary students from Prep to Year 6 and she feels as though she is back home, having come from Melbourne originally. She has inspired many students to pursue their own dreams, to be adventurous in their own lives and to explore new paths. We wish her good luck in her career and a fulfilling life in Melbourne and we will miss her and remember her as a great inspiration for our students.

GEOFFREY PEEL Geoffrey Peel joined the staff in 1985 after a teaching round from Deakin University in which he so impressed the Head of English, Phil Mead, that he (Phil) remarked, 'We must get Peel'. And so the career of the young Geoffrey Peel was launched.

Dr Guanxin Ren was the first teacher of Chinese at The Geelong College, and worked with us for six and a half years. He was appointed to establish the Chinese programme in the Senior School, and he did this extremely effectively. The Chinese Department has flourished under his management, growing from one class in the first year, to nine classes in 1996. As well as teaching, Guanxin is the author of a number of textbooks, which are widely used in the teaching of Chinese, both in Australia and overseas. He organised the first study tour to China in 1994 and the annual Year 9 excursion to Chinatown in Melbourne - both highlights in the students' experiences in Chinese culture. He has been an excellent colleague in the Department, always cooperative and sharing in the interests of advancing the students' knowledge of Chinese. He was held in very high regard by his students. Guanxin has left a considerable legacy at The Geelong College, we thank him for his contribution and wish him well in his academic career.

TIBBY ROSARIO For the past two years Tibby has worked at the College as a part-time Integration Aide. Her duties have brought her in touch with students who have needed extra assistance and her patience and gentle encouragement have been a mark of her work. There have been challenges and frustrations for her, but the rewards far outnumbered these. Seeing students overcoming hurdles with reading and social skills and seeing them taking risks has been a highlight of her time with us. Tibbly leaves to temporarily locate to Cardiff in Wales. We wish her and her family good fortune.
