000, the fifth year of my Principalship of the College, took us to the threshold of the twenty-first century. We went through our fourth year in succession of drought in Geelong and witnessed the first full year of activity of the College's splendid new aquatic centre. For the first time in its history, the Senior School has been led by joint Heads and the Preparatory School has also benefited from the application of a co-educational approach to leadership with the appointment of joint Deputy Heads. The combinations of Mrs Margaret Lethbridge and Mr Roger Smith and Mrs Carol Turner and Mr Harry Roberts have been models of cooperative management. An important decision was made this year to revitalize our curriculum at the threshold of Middle School and to plan for the introduction of an Environment or Natural Heritage program of study for Year 4 students in 2001. We firmly believe in the need to develop clear environmental values in our young people and this program, driving as it will the core curriculum for these girls and boys, is a strong and practical affirmation of this ideal. The Natural Heritage Year is part of a wider Ecology project, involving many forms of commitment to the environment that will take shape in the years to come. This year saw the College
build ever-stronger links with the wider world, which will yield significant cultural, linguistic and personal benefits for our students and staff in the future. I refer to our sister-school relationship with ECNU No 2 school in Shanghai (which our students of Chinese visited this year), the recently-formed relationship with a high school in France and a developing (sporting) link with the city of Farum in Denmark, in addition to the flourishing seven-year old connection the Prep. School enjoys with several schools in Osaka, Japan. This year also saw the successful implementation of the new "enhanced" Victorian Certificate of Education. While certain teething difficulties are still in evidence, it was pleasing to note a reduction in teacher and student stress as a result of the new system of class and examination based assessment. The new aquatic complex (stage 3 of the Rolland Centre) was a very welcome addition to the sporting infrastructure in the Senior School. It received strong student and community endorsement this year thanks to the development of an extensive range of poolbased educational programs. After 17 years of inactivity, a boys' swimming squad was successfully re-formed (alongside the existing girls' squad) and growing interest is being shown by both
sexes in water polo, a new sport for the College. A second major expedition to the Strzelecki Desert was mounted in July this year, following the outstanding success of the ascent of Federation Peak in January 1999- A range of other trips also took place to various interesting destinations: Canberra (Fine Arts students), China (students of Chinese), New Zealand (70 musicians) and Lizard Island (Prep. School students), all of which added depth to our normal curricular offerings and created marvellous new opportunities for our students. No school such as ours can hope to operate successfully without the generous contribution of the staff to its teaching, co-curricular and pastoral care programs. I thank them all for their commitment and my senior staff, in particular, for their loyal and unstinting support. Two are stepping down at the end of this year after many years of service to the College: Mrs Amanda Swaney, as Curriculum and Staff Development Coordinator at the Prep. School, who will take up a senior position at Ruyton Girls' School in Melbourne; and Mrs Carole Hazell, formerly Deputy (and Acting) Head of the Preparatory School, who has decided to remain abroad. They carry with them our best wishes and grateful thanks. DR PAULINE TURNER - Principal
•e are an open entry school that provides opportunities for each child to complete core academic, specialist and co-curricular programs. It is our belief that a child who receives a broad education will enter higher education and the workforce with a broader range of skills than a student who is exposed to a narrower offering. I believe that this view is strongly supported by employer and business groups as they tend to want to employ people who have a good, broad, general education. We look closely at the differences between students and have spent a lot of time and money to develop programs that cater for the broad range of students who are enrolled in our school. Many of our staff have developed differentiated units this year, under the guidance of visiting educational psychologist, Judy Parker Similarly, the development of Information Research Skills is vital in this day and age. Our staff spent a day at the start of this term with Ross Todd, Head of Information Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney. Students have access to more information now than they have ever had before. However, much of this information is inaccurate and irrelevant. The challenge is to teach children (and adults) how to distinguish the authentic and relevant information from the rubbish. As children move through these early adolescent years it is also our role to assist in the development of core values. Learning to be a responsible member of a community involves many things. Supporting each other in a positive environment, striving to do your best, taking on more responsibility as you grow older, learning to behave in a responsible manner(whether at school, at home or at parties), learning to make the right decision for the right reasons and taking responsibility for your own learning are vital skills to develop. In order for us to develop these skills in our school children, we need help from our families. Camping, being involved in sport, learning a musical instrument, being in a play, participating in Social Service, helping a friend in need and completing homework are all part of our education process at this school. To help us, as teachers, we ask that parents support us. We ask that parents reinforce the need for commitment rather than giving up, we ask that families support us when we regroup children so that they are not always with their best friend. We ask that parents support and encourage participation in sport teams, musical groups, drama and extra activities such as debating or model solar car building. Perhaps the most important thing we ask is for is the trust in us to do our job. When I go to a mechanic, I trust him to fix my car. When I go to the vet, I trust him to look after my pet. When I ask for advice about building a house, I go to a builder. When I am sick, I go to a doctor. When you want to know about Education, ask a teacher. After all, unlike many other professions, we are very experienced at handling not only one, but many different problems and all at the same time. I believe that our school has a long tradition of being able to deliver this service to our students and parents and I am proud of the achievements of our students and our staff. Next year sees the introduction of an Environmental Year at the
Year 4 level and our staff have worked hard to develop the curriculum, whilst our facilities have been enhanced to cater for this new group. Children will be based in our "Enviro" and will learn about a variety of environmental issues throughout the year, through both practical activities and through their Integrated Studies Program. The school has worked to develop environmental programs. More recent links to government and community groups have given us the chance to be part of a long term project to revegetate the escarpment, adjacent to the Zillah Crawcour Park on the west boundary of the Preparatory School. Next year will see our indigenous propagation program increased so that our Year 7 students will aim to grow up to 5000 grasses, shrubs and trees. It is fitting as we move into the new millenium, that we see the development of environmental education as a major initiative in the Preparatory School. Indeed, there is a need for many more schools and community groups to take on similar initiatives in order to develop an environmental awareness in our children which will help to look after the long term interests of our Earth and not just our immediate needs. We are indeed a busy school. I thank all of our staff, students and parents for their hard work and support for our programs this year and I look forward to a happy, fulfilling and challenging time in 2001.
Chris Lawson Head of Preparatory School
t a 'Friends of the College' cocktail evening in Term 4 this year, a quite diverse group of supporters assembled in our relatively new Year 12 Common Room to enjoy each other's company and to hear a presentation from the College architect discussing the way the school's facilities have evolved over the years. The evening highlighted two particular features of our school that very few similar institutions enjoy. Many of those attending had experienced a direct past association with the College that may otherwise have lapsed had they not been provided with the opportunity to maintain close links with the school through this active group. Such extended service emphasises the breadth and scope of our College community and the extent to which we depend on our many associated bodies. Secondly, a number of times the architectural commentary referred to the 'seamless integration' of new developments with old building stock, prompting reflection upon the many educational activities where we endeavour to blend valued traditions with contemporary and innovative practice. Whilst a superficial view of our Senior School curriculum may only imply a range of predominantly traditional subjects organised according to unremarkable timetable arrangements, closer inspection will reveal a diverse range of learning opportunities for the current cohort of students. As we continue to emphasise the rigorous nature of our approach to learning, theoretical learning is complemented with experiments, practical tasks, excursions and fieldtrips, constructions, performances, media production and displays, exhibitions, speakers and presentations to mention just a sample. Possibly the most obvious innovation in recent times is of course the introduction of information technology tools to enhance the range of educational resources and facilitate more efficient processing and highly sophisticated production. The expansion of all such resources has relied heavily on the support and generosity of parents, staff and our wider community. Our comprehensive sport program continues a fine tradition, with College competitors at all levels enjoying an enviable reputation for competitiveness beyond expectation given our numbers. We have maintained a strong presence in the well-established sports, and have introduced new games opportunities wherever possible. We have strived for higher levels of performance through improved coaching techniques and increasingly sophisticated equipment, but our primary objective of maximum participation and a sense of sportsmanship and fun has remained. The continued growth of the various Parents' | Support Groups and the many Old Collegians who
come to support our students continues to attract envious comment from visiting schools. Our performing arts program is extensive and diverse, with a rich mixture of recitals and productions throughout the year. From the major events such as the Foundation Concert, the school production of 'Much Ado' and Carols by Candlelight to the less formal music evenings, Year level plays and school assembly items, we view and hear the full spectrum, from classical music and theatre to rock ensemble performances. The Fine and Applied Arts have also mounted major exhibitions in various venues, including the Geelong Art Gallery and smaller displays around the school. Our House system has retained many of the important traditions from years past, and the scope of the House competition continues to expand, as additional popular activities are included. More importantly, however, the House occupies a crucial role for each student's welfare and pastoral care. The enhanced buddy system and the promotion of leadership potential are just two examples of how Houses assist with the integration and development of students. Earlier in the year at a similarly memorable event, a luncheon to welcome back the Strzelecki Desert Expedition party and commemorate another Exploration Society trip from 40 years ago, the same sense of community involvement and 'old with new' interaction was experienced. Both parties had followed the same tradition of adventure and survival under harsh conditions, but old trucks and shotguns had been replaced with four-wheel drive vehicles and prepared meals carried in backpacks. Parent, Old Collegian and wider community support again contributed to the success of this event, like so many others that occur throughout the year and in virtually every area of our school's diverse brief. There is no question that quality staff is crucial to the success of any school, and we are most fortunate to have such conscientious, experienced and caring teachers across all areas of our educational program. We have sincerely appreciated their professionalism and the inestimable support they have provided throughout the year. We also thank Dr Turner for the opportunity to be part of a genuine team approach to Senior School administration that reflects a modern approach to leadership. MRS M H LETHBRIDGE and MR R N SMITH -Joint Heads of Senior School
T
he College received an abundance of media publicity during the recent debate about Commonwealth funding of independent schools. We would readily agree that the College has excellent facilities and is one of the top schools in the country. However, we do not agree with the claim by some that the school is wealthy and attended by students from a privileged section of the community who are therefore not entitled to some government assistance in educating their children. The facilities of the College today are the result of sacrifice by parents, dedication and hard work of staff and the generosity of benefactors, who thought it appropriate that they should support the school in recognition of their high regard for it, over the 140 year history of the College. Dr Turner, our staff and the Council continue to be committed to providing a quality education for our students in the best facilities that the school is
capable of providing.In recognition of this commitment, parents are willing to make a huge financial sacrifice to give their children the opportunity to benefit from all the College has to provide. This combination has sustained the school in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Independent education is about freedom of choice. To use the words of the Federal Minister for Education, it allows parents to seek out what they see to be a desirable combination of a safe, secure and caring environment, committed staff, high expectations and strong education outcomes. I believe the College substantially meets these expectations. I presume that the parents of the more than 1100 students who attend the College also agree as they have selected our school ahead of the many other state and independent schools in our region to educate their children.

ear 12 has been unlike any other of my schooling years. I have come to realise how sacred friends really are, how privileged I am, and how much I will forever look upon my years at The Geelong College as some of the best of my life. I also cannot deny that this year has been the hardest year of my life. I have done more than I ever thought I could, and worked harder than I ever knew possible. Yet as my time as School Captain draws to a close, I realise that it is because of this, that my year has been more rewarding than I had ever thought it could be. For me, one of the main things which separates this year from my previous school years is the relationships I made with my teachers. These people became not only men and women who stood in front of me and gave me an education they became my friends. Whether it was in the classroom, on the sporting field, or just in the school grounds these people inspired, encouraged and challenged me to do my best. My teachers along with my peers are fundamental in the overall success of my experience at The Geelong College. I define success not as winning but as what Penny Heard, School Captain (1995), described as 'the journey of the ambitions you have, the goals you set and the sacrifices you make.' Another group of people that have made my year a success are the five people I love and admire the most. These being my three older sisters and my parents. I found that this year was restricted only by the limits of my willpower, my courage and my determination. Whether I achieved something or not was determined by how much I wanted it, and how hard I was willing to work at getting it. This year I have realised the necessity of holding onto your dreams when faced with harsh reality, and have found when you can't get something right first try, it just means that you have to try it again. This is the key to satisfaction; don't get so wound up in achieving that you forget what you've already achieved. Something else that I have discovered this year is that in an institution such as The Geelong College it is not only important what you do whilst you are there, but for what you are remembered once you leave. When one Year group leaves, another one takes its place, and life goes on. The phone still rings in the administration office, the goal posts still go up in Term 2, and come down again in Term 4. Students still fill the cloisters when the bell rings between classes, and then fill the canteen at recess. This is a simple concept but the thing that amazes me is that in a place where people move through rapidly and randomly, one thing remains so firm. Those things are the very foundations of The Geelong College. Some of the bricks of these buildings have been here for over one hundred years, and some of the steps are so worn that they are only half the height that they once were. We leave our mark on these walls as they leave theirs on us. As is stated in the school prayer: 'As long as one stone remains upon another, may it stand for all that is strong and lovely and of good report.' I think this sense of tradition and history is what becomes part of College students and makes what they experience so unique. It finds its way inside you and becomes a wonderful memory, and to me, so long as these buildings stand tall and proud, then so will this
memory we take with us when we leave. No-one knows where our lives will lead us. Now we have only hopes and dreams. However, we can be happy knowing that we have one of the best educations anyone could have asked for, and some of the best friends we will ever know. We do not yet know the way, but we do know 'Sic Itur Ad Astra', that 'thus is the way to the stars'. JANE MCMILLAN - School Co-Captain The Geelong College in the first year of the new millennium is a place and a time that I will remember fondly for the rest of my life. I was lucky enough to be a part of a community that promotes individual thinking and is not fixed on creating production line students. This, I believe, is the best part of being at College. We are taught in a caring environment the fundamentals of life - life and work skills. We are provided with a balance of guidance and trust that we will commit to tasks, whether they are academic or sporting. I believe it's important that we as students are left with the responsibility of completing our VCE in our own way. To be spoon fed knowledge at school is a detriment to later studies, the time management skills learnt at College will be of great contribution to our future success. Sport plays a big part of life at the College - it complements our studies and provides students with relaxation and fitness. A feature of all members of College sports teams is that they compete to the best of their ability at all times even in the face of defeat. We are also blessed with many talented athletes who combine their natural gifts with a work ethic to achieve great things. I was lucky enough to taste the success of a winning College sports team, the feeling of winning in front of so many dedicated supporters is a feeling that may never be felt again in my life. Not only have the students of the year 2000 excelled on the sports field, but in musical and theatrical pursuits. I have enjoyed the weekly musical items at the school assemblies and the school plays. These students display dedication to perfect the music and the instrument. Theatre students devote huge amounts of time to learn their parts to create entertaining and challenging works for their very appreciative audiences. Another great thing about attending the College is the opportunity to meet students from a wide range of backgrounds. People from the country, the coast and from overseas can experience a first class education. I'm sure there will be members of the class of 2000 that will achieve their goals through further education while for others this will be the end of their formal education. College allows its students to follow their own paths to individual success in a wide range of fields. As my time occupying the position of Co-Captain ends, I think of the challenges we faced during 2000 and the way that we rose to those challenges. It has been an overwhelming year and over time, I'm sure the memories will become more powerful. Personal thanks must go to my Co-Captain, Jane McMillan, for her dedication to her role and to the Vice-Captains, Jordana Clark, Derek Weeks and Kate Seward, for their support and assistance over the year.

We are hockey players. It's a tough sport. It's hard because officials water the ground before the game. You hit the ball with a J shaped stick. It is an Olympic event. Ross Anderson and Floyd Westman
I am a weightlifter. I can lift very heavy weights. In weightlifting you can lift very heavy weights and sometimes lighter weights. We were studying the Olympics before they started. We designed a new Olympic flag each and wrote about it. We also wrote about good sportsmanship and we drew pictures. Sophie Hayes and Rowan Cozzella
Discus is a sport about throwing. A discus is a heavy solid plate. We like discus because it looks easy but it is really very challenging. Discus was in the ancient Olympics. Edward Jarvis and Eduardo Neerhut
We are swimmers. Swimming is an Olympic event. If it is a long race we do it slowly and if it is a short race we do it fast. In this photo we are about to dive. Before the Olympics started we studied the Olympics. What we learnt was that there were more countries competing than we thought. We did projects on who had the Olympics before 2000. We made our own Olympic flag. Rebecca Carmon and Miranda Williams
I am a horse rider and I ride my horse. Our event in equestrian is dressage. My horse does mainly all the work. It is hard to control the horse sometimes. Last term we made a lot of Olympic things. We designed our own Olympic flag. We also wrote to Australian Olympic athletes in Sydney to wish them good luck. Kate Kittelty and Laura Beveridge
We are pole vaulters. We get strained backs from bending over the vault. Pole vault is an Olympic event. We train extremely hard. Sometimes we knock down the bar, other times we don't. Jaimee-Lee Lawson and Lauren Kemp
We are baseballers. It's very hard work. Baseball is an Olympic sport. Sometimes it is a fierce competition and very tiring. Before the Olympics we had to get a country and find out things about it. Then we got into groups of five and made a big book of regions. There is Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia and the Americas. We made posters of all the countries that hosted the Olympic Games.

We are doing taekwondo. It is a very hard sport. You do lots of kicking. Taekwondo is an Olympic event. You have to strong, skilful and flexible. It is played indoors. Australia won gold and silver in it. Taekwondo is a new Olympic sport. Katherine Holding and Morgan Smith
We are beach volleyball players. It is fun to train. You have to be fit to play. And you have to be strong to run in the sand. Beach volleyball is an Olympic event that requires skill. The volleyball stadium was on Bondi Beach. Australia won a gold medal at these Olympics. Our class has been studying the Olympics all term. We have learnt all about famous Olympians. We have followed the Olympic torch each day at school. Fletcher Kelly and Damian Palmara
We are runners. Running is an Olympic event. Winning takes lots of practice. It is a fast event. There are usually eight people in a sprinting event. At school we had an Olympic scrapbook, a work book, an Olympic booklet, and we made some big books on countries. At school, we also made some pictograms, some word lists on describing words, action words and nouns. Isobel Rayson and Rachel Harris
We are Gymnasts. It is very hard work. Sometimes it is smooth and easy and sometimes it is hard and challenging. In Term 3 we did lots of assignments and projects. Nicola Luppino and Laura Malishev
We are at the medal podium. When you get your medal you need to bow your head. One of us is a presenter, the other is receiving the medal. When you receive the medal you need to step up onto the podium. The gold medal podium is higher than the silver. In the ancient Olympics you got olive branches instead of medals. The person who gives the medals gets it from a tray. They also give flowers. The person who gives the medal is usually a famous person or an IOC member.

sk not what your House can do for you, but what you can do for your House". The year 2000 was marked by excellent participation from all students as we strove to be the first House engraved on the Peter Cronk Trophy. Despite less outstanding results than the two previous years, our achievements were more than expected. Rowing was the first sport on the new Prefect's agenda. Whilst we didn't boast the best crews, Calvert did remarkably well, with a 1st in the B final for the mixed VIII and strong performances from the boys' and girls' crews. The crews were led commendably by Charlotte Weddell and James Milsom. Mixing 1st players and less experienced players proved to be a successful combination for Senior House Tennis with all competitors playing well through all their matches. Andrew Hamilton and Simon Holt performed well throughout the tournament. Junior House Tennis saw Calvert sporting a competitive team, with excellent efforts from Pip Waayers and Pip Cances, along with Nick Betts and Richard Herd. The buddy system was activated with the arrival of 15 Year 9 students at the start of the year. Despite their relatively small size as a group, they immediately began their enthusiastic contribution towards the House. As our commanding pitcher, Jayne Lamb led a strong softball team. All the girls, especially Andrea Andersen, Alex Cherry, Claire Younis and new recruits Genevieve Crowl and Sophie Betts, gave it a go and put in terrific performances. We fought our way through to the semi finals, but were outclassed on the day. Nothing could prepare us for the stiff competition we faced in the first whole-house competition, the House swimming carnival. Calvert placed 7th overall, despite outstanding individual contributions from Joel Bartlett, Tim Hope-Johnstone, Genevieve
Crowl, Sophie Betts, Belinda Holt, Pip Waayers, Sarah Weber, David Paton and Nick Blyth. Placing third was a more than adequate effort for one of our strongest sporting teams, the House cricketers. School excursions and camps constantly interrupted our side, making a first place almost impossible to attain with an incomplete team. Reid Merriman, Charlie Fairbairn, Jamie Bell and Dale Cochrane all put in sterling efforts. One of our most successful events over previous years, the crosscountry seemed to be lacking drive with the absence of Richard Jeremiah hitting our team hard. However, thanks to Jamie Bell, James Hope-Johnstone, Pip Waayers, Charlie Fairbairn and David Paton, we managed to place a fantastic 2nd overall. Well done to all runners. Our most disappointing performance was in House Music. After securing one of the best songs "What I Like About You" a repeat performance of last year's success looked to be a certainty. However, perhaps stage fright got to the majority of the house causing them to forget the entire last verse. Congratulations to the small group for at least saving us from total disgrace, as their rendition of "Tears in Heaven" was wonderful. In Junior House netball Calvert once again came second to the overpowering McArthur. Veronica Milsom and Pip Waayers proved why they are in the APS teams. It was up to the senior girls to secure a first place for Calvert. Jane Lawler, Rebecca Herd, Sarah Strachan, Melissa Sleep, Anna Betts, Emma Crowl, Andrea Andersen, Alex Cherry and Georgie Dawson played well, defeating Keith by one goal in a controversial match. Sensational goal shooting from Melissa Sleep, Rebecca Herd and Andrea Andersen secured our score, but even the defence of Georgie Dawson and Emma Crowl and the centre court action of Jane Lawler would have enabled Calvert to overthrow Keith's team made up of a majority of APS. players. Congratulations to all members of the team. Calvert gallantly played House hockey, a sport of passion for Tom Kaye and Warwick Lamb, right up until the final. Unfortunately, McArthur lay claim to glory for the best skills on Rankin Field winning against Calvert in a close and exciting match.
The Calvert footballers complete with Nick Betts, James HopeJohnstone, Reid Merriman, Charlie Fairbairn, Greg Allen, Tom Betts, Dale Cochrane and Jamie Bell were a force to be reckoned with and they made it to the finals blowing their opponents away.

In House basketball we balanced our achievements placing first in the girls', and last in the boys' games. The girls came from behind in a thrilling match to beat Keith in the last minutes of the game. Special mention goes to Veronica Milsom, Sarah Weber and Charlotte Weddell.

whole House made this Calvert's most successful outing as a whole. Richard Jeremiah got us off to a flying start showing his extraordinary athletic ability by lapping his opponents in the 3000m. Congratulations to Peter Dennis and Pip Waayers for being named Age Champions. We were confident that perhaps this time it was our turn to shine but alas, McArthur piped us at the finishing line. Once again Calvert came in second. Badminton, soccer, golf and debating were also amongst the program of House events. Well done to Alvin Tan, Phoebus Shum, Lucien McMahon, Michael Chapman, Melissa Sleep, Simon Holt and Tracy Costa for their efforts in these often forgotten activities.
tutor in Mr Whittle's place. Special thanks must go to Mr Taylor for guardianship of his tute group over the last four years. This is the final year for Mrs Mitchell and Mr Whittle, as they will be leaving the college. They have both put in endless effort with Year 10 and we thank them for their time with Calvert. Good luck in all you pursue next year and rest assured your shoes will be hard to fill. As Captains we would like to thank the support given to us from the House prefects. Their organisation of events, both sporting, music and debating has taken tremendous effort and time.
Unfortunately we were unable to topple the McArthur juggernaut. However winning is not what it's really all about. Every participator has added to our overall year tally where we received second place which a fantastic result. All members of the House enthusiastically filled each event and this is the most common reason for good scores.
As Head of Calvert Mrs Black has organised the House making everything run like clockwork. Her notes of encouragement and attention to the details of every student in the House have made the difference between a good House and the best House. Whether its cheering at any of our sporting events or singing a long in the crowd at House music, Mrs Black has always put herself out to make sure she knows what is going on in Calvert. In her second year since taking over from her very successful predecessor Mr Young, Mrs Black has settled into her own distinctive way of House management and she is to be commended on it. Mrs Black, we thank you for your effort.
The tutors once again have helped everyone throughout the year and we thank Mr Terry, Mrs Brown and Mr Payne for their time and commitment. Mr Deans was a great help acting as a
We would like to wish everyone all the best for their coming years at the College. Thank you, Calvert House for a great year. ANNABETTS and JOHN SAWADE - Co-Captains

s usual, there was great spirit in Coles House this year which enabled us to have fun and try our hardest in any given event. We have won two events this year, come eighth in four and somewhere in between in all the rest. Coles has taken all that has been thrown at them head on and we can honestly say that even when the outlook isn't good, we still try. One thing we can say that we have learnt from our few wins is that you do not need first place in order to have fun. We had our first win after the departure of the Year 12s at the end of 1999, when the Year 1 Is stepped up to co-ordinate our most successful event, House rowing. The crews comprised of Sarah Chapman, Georgie Allen, Jess Crossley, Scott Jordan, David Crittenden, Oscar Stanley and Lachlan Pearce who rowed fantastically to a victorious win. After our rowing success we returned to school with high expectations going into the next three events, cricket, softball and tennis. On the cricket field there were some outstanding performances by Tyson Curypko and the up and coming Year 10s Josh Comer, Lachlan Irving and Tom Pasco. On the tennis court, Colours were awarded to Penny Carah and Robert Crittenden. Other fine performances came from Alex Boyle, Zac Brennan and Stacey Lancaster. In the juniors Maddy Cooke, Sally Robertson, Aswin Sumampauw and Elliot Brennan played well. Jenny Selvidge did a fantastic job organising the girls' softball team, playing excellently and making it an extremely enjoyable House event. Good performances came from Lyndel Chidzey, Angie Balaratnam, Hayley Sims, Felicity Hamblin, Sophie Nelson and Phoebe Stanley. Bronwen Rose was the star of our inaugural badminton team. Other team members had a lot of fun despite some lack of talent. The first major event in the House competition was swimming. The change of venue to the new pool did not affect the performance of Coles House, with us leading for most of the morning. We tired in the afternoon and finished a commendable fourth. Our highlight for the day was our cheer squad beautifully choreographed by Oscar Stanley and Sarah Chapman,
and aided by the PA system of the pool, we proved popular with the judges. The Crittenden and Stanley families excelled, as did Roxy Green, Holly Pearce, Laura Myer and Felicity Hamblin. Thanks must also go to Armand and Jenny, who were great in ensuring that all events were filled. We returned to Term 2 and were faced with the cross-country. Although we placed last there were some good individual performances on the day. Andrea Scott ran a great race, coming in with the top ten, and not far behind was Sarah Chapman. Other commendable runs came from Jodie Farquharson, Andrew McLarty, Laura Myer and Phoebe Stanley. Soon after, the footy posts were erected signifying that House footy wasn't far away. Best players in this event were Zac Brennan, Alex Boyle, Tyson Curypko, Levi Turner and Xavier Pearson. At the same time the senior girls hit the netball court and provided some strong competition among the Houses. Congratulations must go to all the girls, with Colours going to Lyndel Chidzey, Georgie Allen, Penny Carah, Jess Crossley and Holly White. Maire Sinclair was fantastic in goals and a big thanks to Jodie Farquharson and Phoebe Stanley, who came up from the juniors to complete the senior team. In the junior netball best players were Katharine Allen, Georgie Emselle and Amanda Cordner. In Term 2 we also had to get straight into rehearsals for perhaps the most renowned and enjoyed House event, music. The Big Group was a success with an almost perfect rendition of 'Sweet Home Alabama'. Small group was more of a challenge due to our last minute decision to change the song to 'I'm the one who wants to be with you' by Mr Big. But we can say that it was the best we could do with our insufficient preparation. Penny Carah, Georgie Emselle, Emily Dawson and Romina Montesalvo carried us through with their skilful harmonising. Instrumental was also well orchestrated by Marie Sinclair with Oscar Stanley, Lyndel Chidzey, Marie Sinclair and Brodie Sharpe playing a piece by Mozart at a very high standard. Scott Jordan took on the responsibility of House soccer getting together a team of nine courageous Coles boys. Despite high expectations we lost some close games and finished 6th overall. Todd Knight was invaluable as the Coles goalie, and best players were Armand Setiawan, Andrew Witecki and Daniel Kim. The boys' basketball team hit the court in fine style, only just missing out on a berth in the finals. Best players were Oscar Stanley, Levi Turner and Xavier

Pearson, a big thanks again to Oscar for organising this event. The girls weren't quite as strong, finishing 7th. But Romina Montesalvo and Angie Balaratnam organised the team well and the girls all thoroughly enjoyed themselves
debating competition, and the debaters had a successful year. The Year 12s placed second, the Year lis third, losing only one debate, the Year 10s won and the Year 9s placed third also. The debaters were Marie Sinclair, Angie Balaratnam, Oscar Stanley, Jess Crossley, Brodie Sharpe, Michael Agosta, Katherine Allen, Georgie Emselle, Felicity Hamblin, Laura Myer and Phoebe Stanley. Our major social service activity this year was collecting for Cottage by the Sea. A large number of toys and books were taken out for their annual jumble sale. Thanks to Scott and Mrs Patchett for delivering the jumble of items to Queenscliff.
In hockey, Coles did their best but due to our lack of players, we were not able to overcome the more skilful House sides. Thanks again to Jenny Selvidge for organising another House event, and well done to Marie Sinclair, Jenny Selvidge, Lachlan Pearce, Elliot Brennan and Sophie Nelson, who all played well. Oscar looked impressive as goalie but had some difficulty maintaining his agility. The final major House event for 2000 was the athletics competition. In this event, we placed 4th and there were many notable individual efforts. The standout was undoubtedly Sophie Nelson, taking out the gold in her age group. Marie Sinclair also competed well, as did Levi Turner, Greg Butyn, Andrew McLarty, Luke Kuzmich, Alex Boyle and Josh Comer. Ward Sims provided entertainment to Coles House on the day with his crazy antics in the Coles Smurf suit. The House sports calendar was wrapped up with 18 holes of golf being played down at Queens Park. Andrew Gunner was the best player on the day, yet the whole team must be commended on their performance against some tough competition. The loud nature of Coles students was an asset in the House

Our job as House captains this year has been made a lot easier and enjoyable thanks to the other Prefects. A special thanks to Marie, who was an invaluable Vice-Captain of Coles House. Thanks also to all of the tutors and Mrs Lean, who was a fantastic Head of House and our thoughts went out to her during a difficult and trying time. Thanks lastly to Mrs Lannan, who has done such a wonderful job as acting Head of House. We farewell Mrs Patchett, the mastermind behind our scavenger hunts, who leaves after five years as a tutor in Coles. We wish Mrs Ekkel all the best as she takes family leave next year. Best of luck to all Coles students and may the years to come be as enjoyable as this year. ANDREW NELSON and JANE MCMILLAN - Co-Captains

or Keith House it has been a great and memorable year. I know I am not just speaking for myself when I say it has been a lot of fun. So much has happened in a year that it is impossible to mention everything, so this is just a highlight, a short synopsis, of what happened inside the walls of Keith this year. Although it seems that in every event Keith has been pipped at the post, we have always been the most spirited and sportsmanlike House. This was clearly seen when we won both the House cheer competitions, walking away with the most valuable possession to date - the sandwich maker. On a more serious note, it has been a reasonably successful year if the number of wins measures the amount of success. Our only win for the year was the boys' soccer team, who blitzed the entire competition and again made Keith proud. Although this was our only win as such, Keith students competed enthusiastically in every event. House music is always a favourite date on the calendar, as it is obvious Keith students possess a certain talent when it comes to music and this year certainly proved to be no different. Although we didn't win and had to settle for second place, the effort that was put in by everyone was amazing. Andre Trosky, Andrew Buckis and Breanne Jackson left the audience in awe of their instrumental item, and once again the small group outclassed the competition. Yet it was the big group, with their rendition of 'The Monkees', that just proved how enthusiastic Keith are.
Sophie Halsall -Year 12
The first event on the House calendar was House rowing held in Term 4 1999 where Keith finished in a creditable third place, due to our wonderful rowers who certainly gave it their all. Next came swimming where Keith struggled to compete and fill events. We still had a go and put in as much effort and enthusiasm as we could. Never mind, swimming has never really been our forte. Along with the House swimming in Term 1 came cricket, tennis and softball. While our cricketers were pretty confident of repeating the performances of past years, our hopes of taking home the cup were shattered when the deciding match was called off, so we settled for an unofficial fourth. The softballers were a great bunch of girls and it's a real pity that their softball skills didn't match their personalities and desire to win, so Keith finished a respectable last. The tennis players also competed with Keith House pride and ended up in seventh place. Cross-country and athletics are events that have always delivered for Keith House in the past. This year in crosscountry Keith boasted an amazing team of athletes who took to the Barwon River in an attempt to outrun the other Houses. Unfortunately, we were again to be denied first place, finishing in second place to McArthur. House athletics was a lot of fun as it usually is, but unfortunately we were not at full strength due to many absences. Everyone still put in a huge effort. Our football team also showed potential but was again to be denied by a powerful Calvert side, finishing fifth. The hockey team also tried their best, to finish in fourth place. To the last House sport for 2000 and the Keith boys ventured down to Queens' Park to see if they were any good at golf. Unfortunately for Keith House, they weren't. I know that debating isn't the most exciting event and doesn't draw the most spectators, but Keith does have a great group of debaters. The Year lis did a fantastic job. To add to the endless lists of seconds, the girls finished second in basketball and netball.

As the year 2000 comes to a close, and the Year 12s prepare for the big wide world, we say thank you to everyone in Keith for making the House what it is - the friendliest, most enthusiastic House of all. Good luck to all of the Year 12s in whatever it is they decide to do next year and in the future. Finally we wish those remaining in Keith House all the best for next year and we hope you can change those seconds into firsts. JORDANA CLARK and TIM CLARKE - Co-Captains

nee upon a time, there lived a young boy called McArthur. McArthur was an energetic, eager and smiling boy, always willing to try his hardest and have a go. One sunny morning, he woke to the smell of fresh black and white paint and he sensed that this day would bring new friends, new life, new challenges and new glories. Today McArthur's glories that had been in his mind over the summer break would prevail. Still in his PJ's, McArthur stepped onto Mackie oval for the first time this year in Softball, to continue his winning streak from past years. Thanks to Nicole Paisley's deadly curve ball, and the magic PJ pants, McArthur set the tone for victory that to follow. He called upon the talent of Kate and Tamie Wiffen, Alex McLeod, Lucy Forbes, Ben Cummins and the uncanny combination of James Alston and Nick Bridges to follow with victory in the House tennis competition. The following day McArthur gathered all his best friends for an upcoming event he has always enjoyed, the big splash!! McArthur and friends managed to fill every event, with Natalie Gainey, Claire Wood, Wade Byrnes, Stuart Hall and Ben Donald as the stars of the day. Yet again, young McArthur was victorious. McArthur always tried his hardest in badminton but this time was unable to come up trumps, placing 5th. McArthur awarded best player to the quiet achiever, David Coghill. Unfortunately young McArthur also placed 5th in the cricket but nonetheless enjoyed his time out in the middle. McArthur was determined to make amends, and proved
Nick Bridges
successful in doing so in his favourites, golf and cross-country. In golf, McArthur was aided with the supernatural talent of Ian Millis, Tim Callan, Sean Sowerby, Steve Jones and the new recruit Ben Wolfenden. There was an amazing spread of talent within the cross-country team from Sophie Brown, Claire Wood, Jessica Tan, Ben Donald and Nick Wightman, to Nick Bridges and Tim Callan. The winter approached, bringing in its wake music, football, netball, hockey, soccer, basketball and athletics. Unfortunately McArthur's voice only managed a fifth place in the music competition with the "Eye of the Tiger", "California Dreamin'" and "Blues in E". After being written off by some of McArthur's biggest critics, he was determined to rewrite history in the football department, earning a 2nd place in soccer and a creditable 4th place good ol' Aussie rules. After a not-so-appetising result in basketball, McArthur fancied himself for a little "Let's play catch" and "Belting balls into the goalie." "Play Catch" McArthur did, with the likes of Lisa Grey and George's support proving victorious in the Juniors, backed up with the strong cohort of Seniors to win overall.

Abby George and Ben Donald Winning McArthur Hockey Team
Young McArthur's team of Tamie and Kate Wiffen, Sam and Ed West, Scott Stanbridge, Charles Roy and Penny Finch did belt the hockey balls into the goalie, who must have gotten the message as McArthur and team blitzed the field - undefeated. McArthur began to be envied by his colleagues and consequently ended up in Peer Mediation. To support his case he had the outstanding debating team of Lucy Forbes, Claire Wood, Kara Bell, Georgie Thomson and Charles Roy who were runners up in the debating final. The growing boy McArthur awaited the special time in the whole year - athletics. McArthur mustered up all his comrades to form what was the strongest army of the day. He and his comrades were not Matt Shirvington nor Cathy Freeman or Tatiana Gregorievas, but a team that combined to dig for that last burst of energy, and this is the way that McArthur went out in the year 2000, a team effort.

Thanks must go to the Tutors of the House, Mr Kayler-Thomson, Mr Vernon, Mrs Smith, Mrs Clark, Mr Patrao and Mr Young who have contributed an amazing amount of their time and effort to the smooth running ol the House. Mrs Fitzpatrick has been an outstanding Head of House, putting in a countless amount of time, not only during school but out of hours as well, leading to the success of the House this year. To the Year 12s of McArthur, you have been an inspiration to the whole House, and to all the students of McArthur, thank you for your enthusiastic effort this year. Well done!!

cLean has always prided itself on participation, not only on winning, and this year was no different. In virtually .every House event, everybody came and participated, and although we didn't always want to be there, such as in crosscountry and music, we all came and gave it our best. Across the board, we had performances that were brilliant, not so brilliant and those that served as entertainment. Our boys' 'not so awesome' foursome competed in the House rowing, appearing to fit into the entertainment category. The girls'IV, consisting of Brydie Meek, Claudia Muhor, Pip Farr and Jo Silcock were the best contributors, doing very well in the final. The cross-country was taken on bravely by the ones in red with Hannah Lockie (Year 12) and Michael Mackenzie (Year 10) running brilliantly, both winning their individual races, whilst many others finished in the top 10. Whilst badminton is a sport that does not gain a lot of recognition, Kylie Harris (Year 10) and David Winship (Year 10) decided to make the championship theirs. They competed brilliantly and took out the competition convincingly. At the House swimming sports, Captain James decided to show everyone how to do 'dog paddle' in style. It may not have won the race but it encouraged greater participation, with others no longer too scared to have a go. Even with an injury, Nick Braun proved that he could be a real threat. After Australia's one-day victory in the world cup, McLean tried in vain to match the efforts of our international cricket team. Knowing a big ask was ahead, due to the fact that we did not have a first cricketer to lead by example, we filled the side with predominantly young players. Although we could only muster one win, the enthusiasm they showed on the field made up for our lack of experience. The efforts of Will Dolley, Hugh Lockie, David White,
Nick Goldsworthy and Rohan Kux amongst others showed that McLean will be a side to be reckoned with in years to come. For the sixth year in a row, McLean won the boys' basketball with a star studded line up and our two veterans, Charles Hunter and Jeremy Loomes who have played in the last four of those seasons. The girls' team then had a lot to live up to, but were beaten in their final game by a tough line up from the girls in black. This year McLean decided to give a few other Houses a go in the debating competitions. The Year 12s (Hannah Lockie, Simone Kux and Jo Silcock) and Year 1 Is (Brydie Meek, Claudia Muhor and Mark Macgugan) weren't quite able to match previous years. However, the Year 10s (Rohan Kux, Hugh Lockie, Katrina Petersen and Robert Clyne) came to our rescue, winning their competition. Alison Clyne and Olivia Tough guided our Softball team to the final before losing narrowly. As always the cross-country is one of the most dreaded House sports of the year; however an overall 5th place showed that, although we might dislike it, we still try our best, with most members of the House willing to bite the bullet and compete. Special mention must go to Hannah Lockie and Michael Mackenzie for a 1st place in their age group. The days got colder and shorter and winter made an appearance. We put the summer water sports of swimming and rowing behind us and focussed on another type of water activity, playing football in sub-zero temperatures combined with torrentia downpours. Even having a few 1st XVIII boys in our side, and the rain turning main oval into a bog pit couldn't dampen our spirits as we took to the field looking forward to the games ahead of us. We could only manage to win one, lose one and draw one. Finally we would like to thank Ms Mahoney and the tutors for their support, friendship and guidance, and also to the Prefects Olivia, Nick, Hannah, Simone and Ben who have been instrumental in helping run the House. We wish all students in McLean good luck, whatever the future may bring, and especially the fellow Year 12s who are

nee upon a time in a land far, far below the surface, there i was a place called Morrison, where the sky was made of asbestos and there was a lingering aroma renowned
different in Morrison, one of Dictator Conway's 'yes-men', Ms Matthews took over in a political coup and Dictator Conway was exiled to Byron Bay.
throughout the galaxy. Now, the leader of this country was a most adored man, Team Leader Conway who brought a new leadership into Morrison following the Quail period. In addition, who could forget Dictator Conway's favourite 'yes-men', known as Mrs Filling, Mr Zoch, Mr Cheatley, Mr Thomas and the new import, Mr Quick. But wait, who could forget Conway's right-hand man, that is Mrs "Friday report in" Ms Palmer. Now, as Morrison exists with seven other lands and due to the competitive tension between the lands, it is inevitable that war breaks out. However, these battles take the form of sporting endurance, fighting to win until your last breath. The first minor war started with a battle of tennis, where, thanks to Derek Haybittel, Morrison recorded a second placing. The females' only war of Softball saw Morrison in fourth place with credit going to our army captains Leah Martella and Kim Oxley. Next up was an outbreak of cricket where we were consistent with another fourth place under the command of Ted Fitzgerald. The next war to break out, swimming, was unfortunately held on one of Morrison's few public holidays. However a handful of dedicated citizens, namely Kathleen O'Brien and Steve Pettigrove (who were both Open age group champions), saw us in a solid sixth place. The much-awaited badminton challenge found Morrison right up there in second place with Jo Woodland, Matthew Grant and Marcus Lee leading the troops. However, something was soon dramatically
Things had certainly changed; for example, in the annual music battle we were no longer told "last place and die" but "try your best and here, have a lollipop". In spite of this, we still only managed a seventh place with our rendition of "Mrs Robinson" in large group; a controversial version of "I Will Follow Him"for small group and another guitar performance by Ryan Albrecht and Leigh Madden for instrumental. A fourth in cross-country was commendable considering the amount of injuries forcing our citizens to miss this encounter. We then found ourselves eighth in footy, the traditional Morrison victory, and third in netball, a sport with which Morrison had always struggled. The new generation of Morrison girls such as Phil Hayden, Tina Reilly Sally Kemp and Lucy Simms helped to achieve this solid placing. But was this reign of Matthews changing the whole society in which we lived? Well, if it did, it was not for long as Leader Conway once again took hold of his country and banished Ms Matthews to the land of Wettenhall, even further underground. From here, soccer warfare took place and we received a sixth placing, but a third in hockey under the captaincy of Gus McLean, and another third in boys' basketball. Kim Oxley headed the female skirmish with a third. On the second day of rest for the majority who live in Morrison, athletics took place, where we placed fifth in the ranks. Congratulations must also go to Clara Davies who won the battle of the Under 16 age group. Let's not forget the battle of debating where we were placed third and fourth in all Year groups through many admirable efforts at lunchtime. This concluded our sporting battles for the year 2000. We thank Mr Conway for his tireless efforts in running Morrison and his tutors for their leadership and assistance in yet another year. We also thank our leaving citizens, the Year 12s, for their great guidance and help in their final year. LAURA COADHouse Captain

t the beginning of the year, Shannonites imagined themselves being the all-round victors and coming away with the Peter Cronk trophy. After taking out cricket and House music early in the year, this was looking hopeful. However, then came the McArthur onslaught, which saw us drop back into second place, where we remained for rest of the year until House athletics. Let us take a moment to reminisce on the highs and lows on the year of 2000. Without ever having many softballers in the House, we went into this competition looking for a bit of fun. Some good performances were achieved by Renae Butterworth, Miranda Hobday, Sophie Whittakers, Charlotte O'Loughlin, Tessa Fitzpatrick, Merryn Allen, Claire Barlow and Stefanie Driscoll. A very pleasing 1st place was recorded in cricket and special mention must go to Tommy Butler, James Laidlaw, and Mark Rogerson, who put in excellent performances for the House. This was appreciated as it contributed greatly to our victory over Wettenhall in the final. Well done, everybody. Debating also remained a strong point in Shannon throughout the year 2000. The Year 11 team, comprising of Anna Green, Cam Nation and Alice Hill for the third year running, was undefeated, putting forward outstanding performances. However the same cannot be said for the introduction of a new Year 12 team, who would have performed better if they actually written speeches for the event; over all, pleasing results from all Year levels were recorded. After the misery of our disqualification two years ago, along with last year's midfield
time for revenge. We were confident about going into the competition as we knew we had the right stuff; the right song, and what song was that? It was 'Cream', by Prince. But after being banned for indecent language, we decided that the old Roy Orbison classic, "You got it," was much more acceptable. With the excellent performances also achieved in small group and instrumental, led by Steve and Miranda, we were led to an emotional victory. Athletics came and went, along with the rain, which was a disappointing occurrence, as it saw the removal of House hurdles, a favourite for both competitors and observers. As our disappointment subsided, we were able to get back to the events and, after our magnificent 2nd last year, high hopes were in store for us this year. However, this was not to be the case, finishing overall 6th. Nonetheless, some fine performances were recorded from Tim Allen, Renae Butterworth, James Laidlaw, Tess Whittakers, Vangeli Babiolakis, Stewart Hamilton, Cameron Nation, Julia Torpey, Toby Van Hest, Tamara Woolley, Sophie Whittakers, Zane Elliott, Jo McCartney and Michael Scaife. We all headed down to the river one fine sunny day to strut our stuff on the gruelling cross-country course. Those who gained a top 10 placing were: Tim Allen, Tom Butler, Renae Butterworth, Cam Nation, Julia Torpey, Alice Claringbold, John O'Brien, Sophie Whittakers, Chris Wilson, Isabelle Henricus and Alex Pye. House soccer was a most eagerly contested affair. Shannon started brilliantly in the qualifying matches led by 'Van, the goal scoring man', and high hopes were beginning for a first place. However, this

was not to be, but our third placing was a pleasing result. Shannon was unable to perform at it's best due to injuries and absences in House football, being easily beaten in our two matches; however, the young brigade, including Zane Elliott and Jo McCartney, put in a great effort, indicating that we should have a strong team in future years. And last, but certainly not least, swimming, where we came an amazing second! Many great results were recorded and the likes of Jo McCartney and Michael Scaife must get a mention for filling the Year 12 events; also a very special mention must go to Renae Butterworth and Sarah Hill who won their respective age groups. A number of special events occurred in Shannon House during 2000. We continued a long tradition of House fundraising with carnations for Valentines' Day and raised an outstanding $519-00 from 2250 flowers. This year also saw the introduction of a House stereo, which was broken in the first month due to over use.

Hopefully, sometime in the near future it will be fixed. We also maintained the "buddy" system for Years 9 and 12. This seems most effective and the Year 9s seem to benefit greatly from it; we hope it is a success next year as well. After an enjoyable year with mixed results, our time at College ends. We wish everyone the best of luck next year and in the years to come. A big thank you must go to all the tutors, who along with Mrs Fulton, helped make this year special for us.

•hat a great year Wettenhall had in 2000! Finishing a close fourth in the quest for the Cronk trophy, we saw huge contributions by our staff and students alike, with wins in Year 12 debating and football and places in music, boys' basketball, cricket and swimming. The year began well with the continuation of the buddy system from last year and this has proven to be a most effective way of helping newcomers to the Senior School settle in.
The competitive year began in Term 4 1999 with House rowing. Our crews, led by Cam Galbraith rowed well, with Mr Curnow's Prefects: Rebecca Everett, support from the banks spurring us on. Year 2000 began with Cameron Galbraith, Sarah swimming and this saw Tom Paton and Lachlan Crawford as Age Champions. Annabelle Wettenhall and Angela Paton also swam Hopkins, Patrick Miller, Skye Swaney, Marcus King, well to secure us a very credible third place. Wettenhall was able to boast fantastic participation in the swimming. The tennis team Ajeng Pitaloka played very well, with Alice Wettenhall and Marcus King representing us. Term 1 also saw the Year 12 debating team of Marcus King, Roshan Khozouei and Christina Laught victorious against Coles. This year's cricket team, ably led by Sandy Waters, secured second place against fierce competition. For the first time badminton was included in the House competition and some creditible playing by Ajeng Pitaloka and Marcus King resulted in a middle order placing.
effort which put us in a good position for the rest of the year. Term 2 started with cross-country, in which our overall placing did not do justice to fantastic individual placings, with Annabelle Wettenhall winning her age group. After a long and hard discussion about what song to sing for House music and many lunch time rehearsals, Wettenhall was able to take out third place. Big group, led by Jake Luca and Sarah Hopkins, performed a new and improved version of Tom Jones' 'Burning Down the House.' The instrumental, with great contributions from Pheobe King, Roshan Khozouei and Fiona Sykes, performed 'Lord of the Dance' excellently. Small group, led by Skye Swaney and Pheobe King, performed 'Everybody Hurts' very well. Term 2 also saw the Year 10 debating team put in an enthusiastic effort with Alice Urquhart, Stephanie Walker and Nick Black among the main contributors. Our small number of senior girls meant that some Year 9 and 10s had to brave the cold and play both junior and senior netball. The senior team, led by Sarah and supported by Skye and Alice, played well as did the junior team which saw Alice Urquhart, Meg Gingell, Lucie Balodis and Claire Simmonds place us in a respectable position. House football is possibly Wettenhall's area of strength with our boys winning against Calvert with only ten players. The team, led by Jake Luca, Pat Miller and Jacob Spolding, were able to bring the cup
The softballers, led by Sarah Hopkins and Meg Torpey, played well, although not securing a place. The House competitions are a wonderful way for the younger students to get involved in the House activities. Throughout Term 1 it was great to see so many putting in such a fantastic Wettenhall House Music

back for the second year running leaving Mr Curnow smiling all day. Term 3 is a famous one for colds, rain and unwanted stresses however this year Wettenhall braved this very well. Adam Kibbis led the hockey team to a commendable middle order placing, with great performances by Roshan Khozouei as goalie and Georgia Giblin. The boy basketballers, led by Cameron Galbraith and supported by Jacob Spolding and Tom Butters, came an admirable second against strong competition. The girl basketballers led by Ajeng Pitaloka also played well. Term 3 saw $120 raised for cancer research through Daffodil Day. This figure was an improvement on last year's and hopefully the number will continue to grow. The Year 11 debating team also proved to be strong, with Mat Shiels receiving Best Speaker twice. Our soccer team also played very well and with our only soccer players being from the younger years we did very well to come fourth overall. Term 3 saw the last of the major House competitions take place. Our eighth place in the athletics did not reflect the fantastic individual performances of Annabelle Wettenhall, Angela Paton,

Sarah Hopkins, Jacob Luca, Alice Urquhart, Alice Wettenhall, Meg Gingell and David Gilbert-Kent. Early Term 4 and the success of both our golf and tug of war teams led us to a strong position. Although the Year 12s left in Week 3, the Year 9 debaters, Daniel Hoevenaars, Claire Varley and Annabelle Wettenhall, continued to be undefeated in their competition.

On behalf of the House, we would to thank our tutors, Mr Andrews, Mr Gallus, Mrs Coghill, Mrs Gainey, Mr Mack, Mr Parkes and Mrs Edwards for their support throughout the year. The Vice Captains Sarah Hopkins, Pat Miller and Skye Swaney, the Prefects Rebecca Everett, Dane Balodis, Cameron Galbraith, Ajeng Pitaloka and Marcus King must be thanked for their help in the running of the house. Finally, thanks to Mr Curnow whose kindness and fun loving attitude flowed over into everything we did and to Ms Matthews for so ably filling his role towards the end of the year. We wish everyone the best of luck for the year 2001 and thank you for making 2000 such a memorable year. CHRISTINA LAUGHT AND JACOB LUCA - Co-Captains

ackie 2000 started out to be 'a place of tolerance and respect' and at the end of the year I can say it achieved .its aim. We started with many new faces including seven Year 9s, six Year 10s and four Year lis, all bringing many fine attributes to the House. Mr Wood, a long serving Tutor left us, and Mr Montgomery replaced him in Term 3. Mackie House proved to be a very successful sporting house with many members representing 1st sides, including four captains. These House members included Sam West (Captain), Scott Stanbridge, Matty Grant, Shaun McKenzie, Eddie West and Tim Linke in hockey; James Laidlaw, Charles Fairbairn, Jack Eastman, Scott Fletcher and Sandy Waters (Captain) in cricket, Tim Linke in the victorious Head of the River crew with a special mention to Charles Gordon, Scott Fletcher, Charles Fairbairn, James Laidlaw and Sandy Waters in football, James McGregor (Captain), Derek Haybittel and Adam Webster in soccer, James Cox in basketball; Derek Haybittel and James Alston in tennis; James Urquhart (Captain), Jack and Harry Eastman, Bill Alston, Dave Paton, Stuart Hall, Simon and Hugh Cust in shooting and Nick Braun as Captain of the boys'swimming squad George Gibbons organised an all night adventure to Box Hill where we were equipped with laser guns and vests and let loose in a four storey maze. I can say without hesitation that everyone that went had one of the most enjoyable nights of their lives, including Mr Claringbold and Mr Reidy. The Year 9 trip to Wilson's Prom was another spectacular success, lead by Mr Smith and Jordan Kontarines, one of the GAP students from Malvern College. Charles Chacksfield, the other GAP student, has also been involved in

many Mackie activities. Mr Montgomery introduced something that has never been seen before in Mackie, cooking lessons. Nearly everyone got involved and showed some surprising talent. Cakes, scones and pancakes began appearing from the kitchen. The movie marathons organised by Mr Reidy were also popular recreational times. Ms Hynes enabled the House to see "Jive Junkies" at GPAC, where we were entertained with some slick dancing and humorous one liners. The Mackie Man was won this year by a new face, and who better to take the title, the one and only James Urquhart. He showed skill, courage, and stamina and certainly entertained the crowd with his antics. On behalf of Mackie House I would like to especially thank Mr Claringbold for his dedication and understanding, also to Mr. Gallus, Mr Wood, Ms Hynes, Mr Reidy, Mr Smith and Mr Montgomery, who have been vital in making Mackie a place of tolerance and respect. I would like to thank both Sister Cartledge and Sister Kemp for their dispensing of medicines and advice over the years. The Mackie matron, Mrs Vile, has also been there for the extra cup of Milo, the friendly chat and to remind us about naming clothes and changing sheets. Finally just remember "Mackie boys are big and brave", and I hope that the positive traditions of Mackie are maintained. SANDY WATERS - House Captain

o welcome our new girls to Mossgiel in the year 2000, we took a trip to Sorrento and after what seemed only to be a few weeks but turned out to be almost four terms later, it was our time to say goodbye to a fantastic group of girls and a great year at Mossgiel. Under the careful guidance and caring eye of Mrs O'Loughlin, Elly Young, Mr Hibbard, Olivia Allen, Sr Cartledge, Sr Kemp, Sr Mallet, Mr Forsyth, Mrs Karis and Ms Frcek, the Mossgiel girls continued to shine. The year 2000 has been a great year for all the girls on a group level and on a more personal one. The start of the year saw us with six new Year 9 girls, three new Year 10s, two new Year lis and one Year 12 all settling in very effectively with the continuation of the buddy system. The buddy system sets the new girls up with Year 12 girls in the hope that the transition from home to our home-way-from-home may be a smooth one. The year started well and after the gossip sessions from the holidays were over, Term 1 was a full and busy one. We welcomed Tanya Bennett our GAP student from South Africa whose input into the life of the girls has been invaluable. Term 1 saw a successful one in sport with Georgie Allen representing us in the 1st rowing and as Vice-Captain of Boats, Mandy McDonald fulfilled her role as swimming Captain admirably. Alice Wettenhall, Alex McLeod, Jane Hayden, Katrina Dennis and Alice Urquhart were all part of the 1st tennis squad and Olivia Tough was part of the 1st Softball team. Mardy McDonald's star role in the Year 12 play "Medea" was very impressive as were Tess Whittakers' and Jo Silcock's performances. The annual tennis day also took place in early February and was a fun day for all involved. Terms 2 and 3 are always the most challenging at Mossgiel with coughs and colds all around not to mention some very tired and over worked senior girls. This year however, illnesses were kept at bay thanks to our medical staff. The introduction of SACs meant that there were not so many 'all nighters' for those doing Year 12 subjects. Mr Gallus' help with the English SACs was most appreciated by the girls. Jo Silcock reached the State Finals in the Victorian Public Speaking competition, which was fantastic. Term 2 marked the start of the debating season where the girls were represented by Jo Silcock, who was debating Vice-Captain, and Sarah Roache. Both these girls debated very well and received several Best Speaker awards. This year's school production of "Much Ado About Nothing" also sported some Mossgiel girls with Beth Skinner, Sarah Dennis and Emma Hardcastle taking part in

the chorus. Several Year 10 girls took part in the Shakespeare competition held in Ballarat with Erin Denney moving onto the State Finals held in Melbourne. As was the case in summer, the girls all proved to be very valuable members of their sports teams. Olivia Tough was ViceCaptain of netball, Sarah Roache and Alice Wettenhall were also part of this squad. Jo Silcock was the new addition to the 1st hockey team and a number of girls took part in the Kardinia Park netball season. Leah McKenzie, Cobi Vagg and Melissa Sleep all performed well in their respective teams. One of the highlights of the year was the annual "Rurals vs Urbans" soccer match, where once again the Rurals defeated a much-improved Urbans side. The muddiness of the soccer pitch on Mackie Oval provided the girls with a great source of entertainment and by the end of the match, the two teams were unrecognisable. Mr Hibbard's garden hose was the best way to get off the mud, but a lot of it still ended up in the showers around Mossgiel. Throughout the year, other special social events held in Mossgiel included the first ever "Unit music" competition, where Jodie Farquarhson proved to be a most admirable spoon player. Christina Laught's great sense of style came out on the first ever Mossgiel "Eighties Night". Ms Frcek provided the girls with a great dinner, followed by the necessary entertainment of 'Girl's just wanna have fun'. Term 4, though a short one for the Year 12s, proved to be a very emotional one, when our Review Night began with laughter, but ended in tears. However, it is a night that is a great tradition in Mossgiel. The chance for the younger girls to take a swing at the Year 12s proved to be too great a temptation, with many funny impersonations of the older girls bringing the room to tears at times. This was also a night of sadness as the House farewelled their older counterparts for the great things to come in the future. The Boarder's Formal Dinner was held on the last night of school for the Year 12s, a well-organised night by the Year lis. Sarah Dennis and Alice Wettenhall should be congratulated on their entertaining speech.

Music Department Report
James McEachern
The College has had a very successful year of music making. The music program from Campbell House to Senior School has flourished and expanded particularly in the area of String playing and in the field of Music technology. At the beginning of the year we welcomed Mr Gerard Mack as Head of Strings. Mr Mack studied at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and he is an excellent Violin and Viola player. He has been instrumental in the implementation of music software for composition, and student involvement in music industry skills. Mr Mack took over as joint conductor of the Preparatory School Orchestra and is responsible for the string program throughout the school. We also welcomed Miss Anita Barlow and Miss Natalie Baldwin as a vocal and clarinet teachers respectively, the appointment of Ms. Lisa Breen to the Music staff as vocal teacher, and Mrs. Bernadette Miles as teacher of Woodwind. The Campbell House String Ensembles, trained and conducted by Mrs Kamburowski, rehearsed regularly and performed at assemblies, music evenings and the Foundation Concert. This group of children from Campbell House has grown in numbers and will give sound basis for the future development of Strings in the school. Mr Mark Irwin conducted the Middle School Concert Band and the String Orchestra was trained and conducted by Mr Mack and Mrs Kamburowski. The Concert Band played at the JSHA Biennial Concert at the Dallas Brookes Hall in Melbourne. This is a wonderful opportunity to display the Music Department outside the Geelong area and to witness what is happening in Melbourne schools. The presentation from the College was something to be very proud of and we look forward to future opportunities for performance at this function. As part of the Victorian Rural and Regional Access to the Arts Program for Year 9 students funded by the Victorian Government, the Year 9 students traveled to Melbourne to see a concert presented by the 'Scared Weird Little Guys' performing with the State Orchestra of Victoria. The students also enjoyed a visit to Imax theatre. Senior vocal students attended a voice seminar with Debbie Phyland, a voice pathologist. The students gained knowledge of vocal health and care of the voice
and found the day very beneficial. The Senior School class program has produced some outstanding ensembles which include the VCE Saxophone Quartet, two VCE String Trios, other various string ensembles, woodwind, brass, vocal, classical and rock guitar, jazz and piano ensembles. The students participated enthusiastically in these ensembles and a varied repertoire was built up over the year. Ensembles performed regularly at assemblies and music evenings and Year level dinners, as well as at many functions outside the school community including the Probus Club, Rotary, Red Cross and the Wesley Uniting Church in Yarra Street. We are very grateful to the students who perform in the community and represent the school. They are wonderful ambassadors and justly deserve praise. The Senior Concert Band trained and conducted by Mr P Hannah, and the Senior String Orchestra, trained and conducted by Mr Mack, have enjoyed a year of music making of a very high standard. The String Orchestra has performed successfully at the Geelong Eisteddfod, the Carol Service, and the Meredith Art Festival. One of the main highlights of the year for our musicians was the tour to New Zealand. On June 23 68 students and 7 staff departed for an 11 day tour of the North Island of New Zealand. This was the first time that the College Music Department had been overseas, and much preparation was needed to take all the instruments required for the Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra. The Choir, String Orchestra, Concert Band, Stage Band and Symphony Orchestra, and various smaller ensembles such as the Jazz Band and VCE quartets performed during their stay. The focus of the trip was the participation in a four-day music festival held at Palmeston North called 'Music Manuatu'. On arrival in Auckland, sightseeing was done at a frenetic pace followed by a performance at Weweera Hot Pools on Saturday evening, a fine venue for performance. Sightseeing highlights in Auckland included the visit to Kelly Tarlton and the Auckland Tower and a sail on Auckland Harbour. At Rotorua performances were given at Selwyn Primary School, at Focus in the city, at the Museum and at the Quality Hotel where College students were staying. The sightseeing continued at Rotorua where our students were introduced to Maori culture, and were fascinated by the geothermal activity. The experience of the Hangi was a highlight for our students. Performances at the Regent Theatre during the Festival were a wonderful experience. 'Music Manuatu' offered the exchange of culture, music and friendship and it was an experience that our students will cherish for a long time. The tour was very successful indeed and was thoroughly enjoyed by students and staff. A film and photo night followed the tour where students gathered to view photos and Dr Jenner's video of the trip. A wonderful side benefit of a tour such as this is the deeper friendships that are formed and the socialization of students across all Year levels. As Artist-In-Residence this year we were fortunate to have Eric Klay, Principal Bass Trombonist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Eric worked with the Brass students during the week and was a marvelous inspiration to all who came in contact with
him. During Eric's stay with us he performed to the music students and talked frankly of life as a professional musician, and as a member of the MSO. In October, we also welcomed Mr Mark Elliot from Melbourne University as Artist-In-Residence. Mr Elliot worked with students in both Senior and the Preparatory Schools encouraging them in creative music making and composition. The students became enthusiastically involved and greatly benefited from Mark's expertise in this area. The Year 2000 Stage Band conducted by Mr Edwards, made a huge impact this year, performing at Assemblies, in Market Square, New Zealand, at the Foundation Concert and finally, at the Geelong Show. Each performance demonstrated the group as a tight and dynamic, which plays with rhythmic drive and accuracy. The Band was augmented by vocalists Jordana Clark and Julia Torpey who provided another dimension to the band. Mr Edwards is to hand the baton over to Mr Hannah in the new year, so the Music Department would like to thank him for all the hard work he has put into the Stage Band over the years, and to congratulate him on the many wonderful performances we have seen during that time. Many individual students achieved a great deal of success in the Geelong Eisteddfod and the Concert Choir won the Open Choral Section. The VCE String Trio also achieved success in winning the Group Instrumental section of Rotary 'Starsearch'.

Throughout the year, the Music Parents' Support Group have been of great assistance and the Music Department is very grateful to them for their continued support. Mr. William Dolly as President, is always ready to lend a helping hand when it is needed and Mrs Hilary Jenner, Mrs Elizabeth Sykes, and the committee ably support him. I have enjoyed my role over the past two years as Acting Director of Music and have found the challenges inherent in this position as both rewarding and stimulating. Unfortunately, as in any role of administration, the opportunities for teaching at the grass roots diminishes and so, I look forward to returning to teaching more classroom music and piano next year. I would like to thank the Music staff for their very loyal support and hard work over these two years and I congratulate and wish the new Director of Music Mr Joannes Roose the very best in his appointment for 2001.

Without doubt, the highlight of the Geelong theatre season in 2000 was the brilliant production of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, presented by The Geelong College. Director Deb Hynes even surpassed the dizzy heights of her previous productions in this theatrical experience that will linger lovingly in the memories of all who were lucky enough to secure that most prized possession- a ticket to the show!
T
he play itself is one of Shakespeare's most loved romantic comedies, a delightful tale set in the rural splendour of the Italian duchy of Messina. The themes of love and relationships are explored through the trials and tribulations of the leading characters- a lovable group of thespians who gave such enchanting performances that even the Bard himself would have burst into rapturous acclaim. The lead actors were Dale Cochrane as the heroic, witty but stubborn Benedick and the equally stubborn, Beatrice (Leanne Ryan). The banter and comic gestures between these two would-be lovers were superbly acted Alice Claringbold

by this extremely talented duo whose light-hearted romp through the vagaries of love was one of the many highlights of this wonderful production. The match-maker for this relationship was Hero's loyal friend, Ursula, played by Kate O'Donnell who, in making sure that Cupid's arrow stayed on course, gave a strong supporting performance. Renae Butterworth and Tom Butters were outstanding in their roles as the thwarted lovers, Hero and Claudio. And, of course, there has to be a villain. The wily, deceitful Don John was a brilliant casting coup because Mark Macgugan gave a flawless interpretation of this reprehensible rogue. There were also noble men aplenty with John Sawade as the doting father of Hero, Gus Mclean, the dashing Don Pedro, and Zac Brennan as the gallant Antonio. But alas! The heroic deeds of these gentlemen were thrown into turmoil by a trail of treachery from dastardly schemers, Borachio (Robbie Harris) and Conrade (Charlie Hill). Although we hissed and booed these despicable doyens of
Leanne Ryan
Messina, we also admired their polished performances. Even with the serious business of falling in love, comic relief was never far away as a motley mix of characters teased and tantalised the audience. The casting of Alice Claringbold as Dogberry was a choice that was obviously endorsed by the appreciative theatre-goers who laughed and applauded the frolicking feats of this memorable character. Only a laugh away was her bumbling assistant Verges (Tom Ross) whose antics kept the audience in a state of merry mirth. Some future stars of the theatre were revealed in the supporting roles played by James Calder as the Sexton, and the duti-
ful, but ever-so-clumsy Watchmen, Matt Varley, Adrian Weeks, Michael Agosta and Sam Neunhoffer. Congratulations must also go to the 42 students who comprised the Ensemble because their colourful presence ensured that the play would be a visual spectacle that we would not easily forget. The musical backing through the virtuoso contributions from Breanne Jackson and Giselle
Tom Butters
Campanaro enhanced this magnificent theatrical experience, while the solo singing of Georgie Emselle as Balthasar was a treat that was relished by a captivated audience. Cameo appearances from twelve intrepid staff members gave the
audience, especially their students, a chance to see what a combination of stage fright and lack of ability can produce! Just jesting, of course! Actually we really appreciated the teachers' contribution. Many thanks must go the fabulous Production Crew. In particular, Kelly Clifford, Jan Mitchell, Jan Reid, Phil Rogers, Phil Taylor, Barrie Edwards and Rob Kayler-Thomson. This production of Much Ado About Nothing has certainly maintained The Geelong College's reputation for offering the whole school community a very high standard of theatre for all to enjoy.

As the last rays of sunlight disappear over the old ivy coloured school buildings, dusk turns to night, and the final members of the audience take their positions, a pale-faced ghoulish creature silently appears lighting wooden lanterns that surround the main acting space. Then, and without making the audience aware of it, the ghoul recedes quietly back into the night. And so the stage is set for the remarkable College Year 12 production of perhaps the most famous Greek tragedies, Euripides' Medea.

et in the acoustically favourable cloisters with it's well suited old stone pillars, the audience was treated to a truly potent production within a roofless cauldron that exploded with passionate performances and angry weather. This at times became an integral addition to the story as rain and wind sometimes protruded into the actors' domain. This ancient looking and surreal space with its eerie shadows and looming towers, not only encouraged and in effect produced acoustically sound projection from the actors, but also an intimate actor/audience relationship. The fantastic use of projection by the performers can be attributed to the cloisters setting. Acting as a natural amphitheatre, the play's setting was evocative of a traditional ancient Greek performance where it was commonplace for megaphones to be used by the actors in order to create extra voice projection. The extremely well chosen acting space also added to the audience's relationship with the actors and the acting space. Positioned above, (and at times with) the performers, the viewers were able to observe and evaluate the action unfurling below in an almost chorus-like manner. Those members of the audience with the "best" seats became a part of the stage, craning their necks over the top-level edge of the cloisters, watching and waiting, a head in between every column. The set could also be closely linked to the mythological levels throughout Medea. Medea herself being half-woman, half-goddess, a magical woman - like the set. Numerous entrance and exits points gave the feeling of other doorways, levels and worlds. A real world merging with a fantasy, mythical world, just as Medea is a "real" woman merged with a mythical goddess. Perhaps the most remarkable contribution though was that of the actors themselves. Although set within the walls of the school it was truly not hard to forget that the drama unfolding below was actually being performed by a group of school kids (talented ones at that). It was inspiring to watch so much passion and emotion seep from each and every character, from the first heard wailing's of Medea "Oh, oh! What misery, what wretchedness!" right to the final speech of the destroyed Jason. It was amazing to see such a challenging (emotion wise) storyline so thoroughly grasped and interpreted by adolescent school children. The casting by co-directors Ms Hynes and Ms Clifford again was brilliant. With three actual Medea's (Anna Betts, Mardy McDonald and Sarah Hopkins) the audience was treated to a variety of performances and interpretations of the same troubled woman. As well as placing less pressure on the performers, we were shown the different sides of Medea through different people. Anna was the passionate Medea,
Sarah the manipulative and Mardy appealing to the royal figures. " I can't do it. I'll think no more of it," we were shown the reasonable side of Medea as she talks of killing her children, through one actor, contrasted with the enraged, passionate side through another actor "how did they die? You'll give me double pleasure if their death was horrible." Other great lead performances were displayed by Adam Wightman as the arrogant and intolerant Jason, Lloyd Davies as the stubborn Creon - King of Corinth, Breanne Jackson as Aegeus - King of Athens, Tess Whittakers as the nurse, Phelia Grimwade as the tutor and Georgie Corke and Jo Silcock who shared the role of the messenger. The many members of the chorus also displayed great acting ability and were ultimately the foundation of the play, as they grasped the open acting area, where they were given space to roam, and in effect room to somewhat individualise their own character through movement and line differences. This also proved to be most interesting from the audience's perspective. Joseph Foley and Ewan Smith who played the roles of Medea's two children were also a great asset to the cast. Dealing with the same old issues of man versus the gods, power and authority, and passion versus reason, the theme that came across most strongly though was that of the treatment of women and Greek male smugness. This was evoked perfectly by Jason's own smugness, intolerance and arrogance towards foreigners and the intelligence of women - namely Medea. There were many memorable moments throughout - such as the first entrance of the three Medeas, the messenger's scene, dripping in blood, and the final scene which was shouted from the tower, as Medea is about to escape in a chariot sent by the sun god. The costumes and make-up were also fantastic. Some highlights once again included the three Medeas whose passion and sexuality was represented in long, crimson red dresses. Her Greek foreignness was shown in her heavy black-eye make-up and red slashes on the cheeks. The members of the chorus were all dressed in grey tunics and black headdresses. Their faces were also blocked white with dark eye make-up also. The male characters each wore different coloured costumes and Jason stood well out with his gold painted face. Breanne Jackson (Aegeus) also created an appropriate mood and environment with her musical talents. With its simple but effective set and its low budget, the real strength of the play shines through the believable passionate and emotional acting rather than fancy elaborate sets and other fripperies. In one word, excellent. ALEX CHERRY - Year 12 - Literature

he scenes of Gothic horror and a taste for blood were only a part of the epic saga of 'Frankenstein' directed by Ms Kelly Clifford. The audience was taken back to old-time London when Victor Frankenstein was experimenting with electrical currents and dead bodies, (an interesting combination). We sat in awe, in hilarity, in sadness and in disgust as Frankenstein's monster caused havoc in the streets of London, killing people left and right and centre stage, when all he really wanted was a friend, "A female" The use of projected images in 'Frankenstein' was a new and brave idea creating a news reel/science documentary feel. My compliments go to the talented drama class of set builders and designers for an unbelievably detailed and wonderful looking laboratory and additional sets. The props (and set) were absolutely phenomenal, the body parts and

blood were disgustingly real. Again Ms Clifford had cast superbly. Alice Claringbold made sure the audience knew what was going on, with her dramatic entrances and exits before and after her narration. Bree Lidgerwood portrayed with incredible flair the young blind girl who does not know to be scared of the monster and befriends him. The 'Monster' played by David Donaldson exuded raw emotion and showed amazing confidence in his character, 'newborn' and alone in the world. Oscar Stanley was excellent in the lead role of Victor Frankenstein, and Kate Calder was hilariously funny and focused in her role of Lillie. The play was wonderfully staged, with the actors using all levels available to them and exploring their characters and lines. As a whole, the actors made it easy to understand the story and we were offered a remarkable insight into the lives of those affected by
Many in th Drama Department was busy preparing for the Year 9 and 10 performance nights in the last weeks of Term 4.. The Year 10 drama classes presented the Bertolt Brecht play The Good woman of Setzuan'. The play starts with three gods coming to Setzuan to find a good person out of all the evil in the world. They come across Shen Te, who appears to be the only good person left despite the various problems she encounters. Dividing the play into three sections gave each drama student the chance to learn lines and become involved in the performance process. All students showed a high level of commitment and ability on the night, as did the three leads Stephanie Guyett, Shae White and Erin Cooke. A week later was the Year 9 drama night, they presented three variations on the 'Romeo and Juliet' theme. Ms Hynes' class used music, movement and costume to explore the themes of Conflict, Love and Death. Each dance piece utilised the whole class and clearly demonstrated a high level of skill and commitment between each student. Ms Clifford's classes further explored the theme through dialogue. The next class had the daunting task of presenting Shakespeare's language in a traditional manner. Focusing on a James Bond style, the students changed costumes and props for each scene. All students learned lines and displayed much talent The last class gave Romeo and Juliet a modern twist, setting it in a New York High school. Colourful costumes, short snappy scenes and lots of energy ended the night with a bang. These students also demonstrated a high level of skill and sustained focus to the task. Overall both nights were a great success and enabled the students to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of performance.

his year was the first time that Textiles was offered as Studio Arts rather than Art. This meant a new emphasis on the whole artistic process including how the finished artwork is presented to the public. Our VCE students visited a

number of art exhibitions as part of this study. In Term 1 we made the annual pilgrimage to the Fashion Week exhibitions that gave the students a stimulating insight into contemporary designers such as Six and Vixen as well as a retro view of British designer Zandra
Rhodes. Other visits occurred throughout the year to Ararat to see the Mirka Mora Exhibition and to Heide to see Geoffrey Smart and the ACCA to see the contemporary innovative show "Rent." VCE students worked on a number of themes and ideas, but the interest in 2000 was on layering of fabrics and transfer printing, screen printing, machine embroidery and beading, with bags being a common format for the application of these techniques. Year 9s worked with their customary enthusiasm on building techniques and skills through projects such as "Pyjamas in a Bag" and used scanned images to transfer on to fabric for their cushion projects. The Year 10 floor cushion was a popular and successful way for students to apply their design skills and techniques. MRS JAN MITCHELL

wo buses packed of art cynical Year 10 students probably wasn't the best attitude we could have when arriving at the exhibition Rent. After trekking to Melbourne on a hot bus to examine painting after painting at the Heide gallery, our final stop was Rent. Before entering , the teachers warned us this art was a bit different to what we had previously seen. They were hesitant to take us to Rent, as they explained that this artwork strayed away from the mainstream paintings and focused more on sculptures, photography, sound, symbols and other aspects. In other words, a depth of meaning and thought different to the previous artwork of Jeffrey Smart at Heide gallery. Some students immediately had the image of naked people frolicking around the room to the strains of Enya, but they could not have been more wrong. What greeted us inside was much more. On arrival, what stood in front of us was a small building next to the Botanical Gardens, called the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art or ACCA. The work was amazing and we were instantly drawn to it. A lot looked like it was made from ordinary junk. The first piece we analysed was red wine on a carpet by Ruth Watson entitled World Interrupted. It was simple but also very meaningful. We spent a great deal of time discussing what message the artist was trying to get across and each of us had a different perception. Some ideas were that it discussed war because all the countries were coloured red signifying blood. Another thought was that it said Australia was on a power trip. On the flat view, Australia is at the very tip dominating with all the other countries below, small and vulnerable. We did not rule out the possibility that Ruth Watson had a few mates over for a quiet night, which quickly turned into a drunken party and all the shapes were a fluke. I doubt it though.
We had seen the porcelain heads by Ah Xian in the paper or on TV and now we could see what they looked like in reality. I loved these pieces; the whole head looked as if it had been covered in milk then overlaid with tattoos. The tattoos gave it a story and an old Chinese look as if it should be in my grandmother's china tea set. I thought the Fox by Louise Weaver had so much to say about control of technology and the fact that we will not have any animals left if they keep becoming extinct. Another interpretation was that everything is going to evolve to suit us and our need to evolve like the fox evolving into a crocheted object. The House of Captain Cook was amusing and a play on British settlement; the sounds coming from inside it were like a British 'sit com' or a Benny Hill show. It was great to be guided through the exhibition, but we were still able to make up our own minds as to what we thought each piece was about, not just the usual style, theme, or colour, but the opportunity for us to think independently and form different attitudes. I am sure that every ceramic and painting student took away with them a little bit of the Rent experience. Rent opened our eyes to the unique and diverse world of contemporary art. It showed us that art is not just something you see on a wall in a Gallery, but is related to everything around, and is anything you want it to be or become.

Fine and Applied Arts T
he buoyant nature of the Austin Gray Centre has once again been evident this year. We have been privileged to teach a group of dedicated and hard working students who have again created an amazing array of artwork.
The year began with the Bi-annual art trip to Canberra. 17 students along with Mr Taylor, Mr Smith, Mr Andrews and Mr and Mrs Mitchell spent 5 days absorbing the cultural delights of our capital, from Parliament House to the National Mint and everything in between. There were many special moments on this trip, and those who came along will remember the places and people we met. Early in the year, we also held a remarkable exhibition of Year 10 Ceramics and Painting at the Geelong Art Gallery. Mr Smith and Mrs Locke were the curators behind an amazing collection of work featuring the role of the motor car in Australian society. It was a wonderful occasion to display the high standard of work that our students create. During the year we also saw the launch of 'Creating Girl X', a book published by Clockwork in Geelong and dealing with various issues relating to adolescent health. Many of our past and present students' artwork featured in this brilliant publication. Zac Brennan and Jordana Clark were two of the driving forces behind the project, and deserve special mention for their efforts. Arts Week was again a tremendous success with plenty of opportunity for students to involve themselves in the activities of the week. During Term 3 we were also privileged to have Aileen Brown as our Artist in Residence again. This time Aileen worked with the Years 9 and 10 painting students in producing an exquisite booklet of linocuts. There were a number of themes for the booklets including Australian marsupials, farm and zoo animals. The final day of printing and binding took place early in Term 4, with the booklet eagerly taken home by proud students.

I am continually amazed at the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff at the Austin Gray Centre. It is their commitment to their students that makes this school what it is. Throughout the year many late nights, weekends and holidays have been spent working with students from all Year levels to ensure that their work is finished to the best possible standard. There would be few schools in the state that can lay claim to having as dedicated a staff. The VCE Arts exhibition this year was held in Morrison Hall and boasted a stunning variety of student artwork. A special thank you to the Parents' Support Group for their vital assistance throughout the year. It is wonderful to have the willingness to help when it is required. A whole book could be written about the contribution Mrs Mitchell has made to the College and the Art Faculty, and hopefully one day it will. More will be said in the back of this magazine, but her legacy will be the passion and love of

textiles that Mrs Mitchell has brought to the College for the past 11 years. Everyone, students, past students and colleagues will not forget her dedication and commitment to teaching. We wish Mrs Mitchell and her family all the best for the future. Finally, the year 2000 has been a special and memorable year for the Fine and Applied Arts at the College in so many ways. One of my enduring memories will be the frenetic energy in the painting room on the final day before Year 12 folios were due. It really did look like an artist's studio! A very special thank you to all those individuals who have made the Fine and Applied Arts such a rewarding experience for all of us this year. The unique artistic culture of the Austin Gray Centre is very much alive and well. Mr Phil Taylor - Head of Fine and Applied Arts
Wood Technology
he first year of the new millennium has been an excellent one for Wood Technology. It has been well received again by all the students who undertook a relevant course of study within the subject. The subject has continued to bring out excellent capabilities and talents in our students as they reach new goals and explore new areas.
The students in Year 9 were given several design briefs to construct new projects this year. They have done this with an outstanding ability and with enthusiasm. It has been great to see the standards set by these students. At the Year 10 level, the students undertook projects that involved an extensive use of power tools. Again the standards were high and they showed keenness towards new techniques and new tools. I look forward to the students from this group who have chosen to continue next year with the new study design in the Technology subjects. VCE Unit 1 and 2 students completed an excellent array of projects for their clients. There were many outstanding products made with three students having their work entered in a local exhibition. Stewart Hamilton and James Alston gained encouragement awards
for their pieces. James Alston also won an award by a local woodworkers' group. Levi Turner made a great bed from Rimu and Simon Cust created an interesting bar from Red Gum and Ripple Iron. The students from this year's VCE Unit 3 and 4 class have continued with great success. They have been a great group of students to work with producing an array of fine pieces of furniture. Andrew Mackenzie designed a wine tasting table from Red Gum and Kauri and has had his work nominated for the State's 'Top Cats' awards. David Libby made a grandfather clock; Justin Pegg constructed a fantastic wardrobe,
Jess Donaldson made a plastic dress and Sam West designed a birdbath. My group of students is the last group to undertake Technological Design & Development as a new the VCE Design & Technology starts next year. Mr ROB KAYLER-THOMSON

Seascape
There is a place where the sea sings its song, A melody played out in the wake and the foam Where the spouts shout with joy with each wave that comes by, And pools of still water fill the ocean with sky. The song of this sea is terribly sad, For Man took away all this sea ever had. He took all the fish, took the life of the sea. He slaughtered, and turned the sea red with his greed. He stole all its treasures, left it to die, Polluted its soul with his rot and his slime.
Jules
I watch her as she moves around. Her steps all done in leaps and bounds. It's hard to see her getting old. Her face so vibrant and so bold. She whips the mixture in a bowl. Her body small, like a fragile doll. Her spring red curls bob up and down, her moves restricted in her nightgown. She smiles at me. Her pearlies are green, I tell her to brush them to keep her teeth clean. She laughs and sniggers and tells me I'm wrong, and starts to hum her favorite song. She is young and carefree, it's now hard to see, how her life is so free of strife. I wish I was young once more, with a not a worry in the world. Just like my little sister Jules. JOHN O'BRIEN-Year 10
For the song of this sea is terribly sad, And where it was sung has lost all it once had. No melody plays on the incoming tide, And the spouts that once shouted lie wasted and dry. The wake and the foam now no more than a shroud, And pools of still water fill the ocean with clouds. BENKLOESTER-Yearll
Bushland I look over the vast expanse of bush land, Mountains upon mountains as far as I see. I wonder why we exist in this world, We are really nothing, here. Why are we calling this our world? When it belongs to no one? Why do we believe that we are the superior race? When all were formed to coexist. Being here, we are engulfed by the bush, Surrounded and swallowed by it. Here we are insignificant, We have relevance to nothing. Things so small Make up things so large. Things so insignificant Make up things holding significance. The beauty of each individual creation, Amazes and perplexes me. Something first formed with such care Is often looked at only as part of a whole. Rays of light filter through the sky, Creating a breathtaking picture for the mind. With lights departure darkness covers the earth, The questions and wonders of the world will cease to be seen.

Time is the creator of human error,
The cause of life and death, Time is the mother of impatience, A source of anticipation, Time speaks through the sun and the moon, And the rotation of the earth, Time racks your body, With imperfections, Yet time heals all wounds, Time is at the essence, Life is short, But time is eternal.

Shyness
Fear
Fear, tying knots in my stomach, Stomach tumbling and turning, Turning around I sense an evil, Evil eyes watch and stare, Stare with hatred and with dread, Dread the time when we will touch, Touch the hand and feel the fingers, Fingers are cold and rough and stiff, Stiff is my body as I reach, Reach into the darkness.

On the outside, looking in, In there are the confident people, People who are not shy, Shy like me, Me, who is too afraid to say anything, Anything that might make me look stupid, Stupid, like the other people they talk about, About how they try to fit in, but don't, Don't know what to say, or how to act, Acting comes with confidence, Confidence is the key, Key to being happier, better, Better to say nothing at all.

T Year 8 Arts Week - Work inspired by Tess Grace
he thriving Artist-in-Residence program at The College serves several purposes. Its basic aims are to bring about communication with well-known artists, poets, writers, scientists and other specialists whose activities and disciplines will enrich the intellectual and cultural life of the school. The program's ambition is to bring College students into contact with distinguished scholars at several points in their
school careers. It is essentially curriculum based with the intention of stimulating and extending the work done in existing courses, and the mission is to expand the interests and skills of both students and staff, and to nurture a sense of excitement in the process of learning. It is thus vital that the visiting artists are not only outstanding practitioners in their fields, but that they feel comfortable, indeed excited, about sharing their knowledge with students. As always, these goals have been admirably met by our scholars in 2000, with all three campuses enjoying very stimulating and enriching visits from a variety of disciplines. I'll just provide one snapshot from each campus. A May visit at The Early Learning Centre from Professor Beth Bolton, an academic in Early Childhood music learning theory at the Temple University in America, was inspiring for the students and teachers alike. In the morning she entranced the children with her beautiful singing voice and her musical artistry, whilst in the afternoon she conducted a forum with teachers from The College and other local schools. What an influential point of their music development for our students to come into contact with such an expert!
Visiting Artist Jan Senberg with from L-R: Greg Smith (Art teacher), Jan Senberg, Anna Fitzpatrick, Zac Brennan, Eliza Hobba. Phil Taylor (Head of Fine Art)
At Senior School a recent project was sparked by the visit of Aileen Brown, a well-known Melbourne linocut artist. Working with Greg Smith's Year 10 students, Aileen inspired an ambitious undertaking where students working in groups produced bound books filled with printed linocuts of animals. The process not only involved each student completing several linocuts and printing them, but
also learning something of the gentle art of book-binding along the way. Aileen delighted students and staff alike with her warm, humorous personality, as well as her highly expert knowledge of her subject area. The school has purchased one of Aileen's linocuts, and she has donated another, so that apart from the students' own produce and the skills they have learned from her, we have a lasting link with her art in the school. The pair of linocuts are hanging in the reception area next to Jean Cameron's office, and I would encourage you all to take the time to view them when next you are there. Another highlight which cannot pass without mention, was the visit of Jan Senbergs to the school. This was initiated by Greg Smith, and our Year 12 Painting class was incredibly privileged to hear him speak, particularly in view of the fact that they were studying his work for their final exam. Many of you will have noticed the whimsical work of Victor Cerbergs in the form of sculpture bollards emerging at Campbell House. This has been a lovely project that the children from The Early Learning Centre have also been able to enjoy watching as they arrived at school each morning. The photograph featured on this page shows the wooden pelican nesting among grasses at the entry to Campbell House from the carpark. At Middle School it's been a popart flavour, and you'll enjoy the vibrant surfing images of figures painted on board that can be seen mounted on various buildings around the grounds. Tess Grace was the visiting artist who worked with Year 8 students over many weeks producing these life-sized works of art. Complementing this surfing theme, Jonathan Ryan also ran a surf awareness camp for all the Year 7 students towards the end of the year, and this seems to be such an important element to integrate into our curriculum, given our proximity to the Surf Coast, and the surfing interests and talents of so many of our students. The Artist-in-Residence program is such a wonderful part of the fabric of our school, and I would like to thank Dr Pauline Tinner for her commitment and strong support of its initiatives.

CHINA TRIP 2000
Whilst many stayed at home to watch the Olympics, a group of 19 students and three teachers flew through Sydney and on to China. We visited Beijing first, spending three days flying around, absorbing this whole new world of history. Highlights included the Temple of Heaven, the Ming Tombs, The Forbidden City and of course the Great Wall. And there was also the Summer Palace (where we witnessed Mr Keating truly proving his expert knowedge of Chinese on a boat!). We also visited "the very famous Xi'an city" (as our guide constantly called it). Here, we saw the "very famous ancient city wall". As we left Xi'an, Mr Keating kindly informed us that it isn't actually that old, as much of it is a 1980s re-build! The Entombed Warriors are really old (over two thousand years old) and we were all blown away by the sight of eight thousand terracotta figures. We also saw Banpo Neolithic Village and a scenic spot with a statue of a famous concubine that the guide kept calling "fat" but looked quite normal to us. There were also countless "compulsory shopping stops" (apparently, the guides take a commission on sales at these places). In Chongqing, we finally got the chance to slow down a bit, which was just as well really, because our guide there was getting on a bit in years. Chongqing was also where we began to see some of the picturesque Chinese countryside; steep hills and gullies, the mighty Yangzi River and lots and lots of rice paddies. We took two day trips to two different mineral springs, one very scenic with exquisite rock for-
mations and carvings, and another not so scenic but more popular with the locals. Some of the group went for a swim at this one. We also took an overnight trip to a town called Dazu ("big foot"), where Buddhist carvings are dotted all around. An amazing amount of work must have gone into these. We drove back to Chongqing and had dinner in the hotel across the road from the railway station. At first, it was a relaxed affair. The guide's right hand man was looking after the luggage and all he had to do was put it on the train and give the tickets to our guide. Easy, or so it would seem. As the night progressed, we saw the nerves building in Mr Keating. Where was our guide and, even more importantly, where were the tickets? The clock ticked over to 8.30. Our guide returned, but only to tell us to hang on a minute. "The tickets are coming," he said. The clock ticked over to 8.45. Then 8.50. We were all standing on the steps of the hotel, ready to bolt. Up popped a head from the subway. It was our guide. "Quick!" yelled Mr Keating, "Run!" Run we did, down the underpass and across the station concourse. We heard the tooting of a horn. Our time had run out. The train would have to be exactly on time, wouldn't it? The guide disappeared. We hoped he had not abandoned us. We hoped he had not crept away to have a heart attack somewhere. Then Mr Keating disappeared after him. We hoped he would be able to negotiate a solution for us. In the end, all's well that ends well. Mr Keating negotiated for us a night in the comfortable hotel opposite the railway station and then a place on the train the next morning. We made sure we were on time this time, but, guess what, the next day's train was delayed for half an hour!! In the next place, Guiyang, we visited more out of the way areas, like the largest waterfall in East Asia, the "Dragon's Palace" underground water caves and many sites from the Long March and communist history. From Guiyang we flew to Shanghai the biggest city in China and yes, it is big. This was where we were to be doing classes and other activities

with our new sister school, the Number 2 High School attached to East China Normal University. This was very successful, as both a cultural and a study experience. We were given some free time with our own personal "buddies" to explore this big city and had our own personal classes with Chinese teachers. For most of us, Shanghai was the highlight of the whole tour. To be able to explore such a lively city with our own personal guides was an experience not to be missed. wenty days, we saw all the major historical sights, discovered some of China's modern history, learnt about their modern society, and of course advanced our Chinese. On behalf of the group, I would like to thank Mr Keating, Mrs Coghill and Mrs Brown, and also the staff at our sister school, who made the trip the wonderful experience it was. Ben Lannan -Year 11

Expeditions Wollangarra Once again the Victorian High Country was the setting for a special week in the bush for all College Year 9 students. Our six groups made a positive impact at Wollangarra with their energy and enthusiasm. They were inspired by Ant and Melissa Mair (the directors of Wollangarra) and their dedicated 2000 team: Josie Reeves, Dan MacMunn, Jodie Steel and Penny Tomes. Many friendships were made and the emphasis on fun ensured that there were plenty of amazing stories to tell on the return to school.

'It was then that I felt a real purpose in life, to keep this beauty around us forever, for the entire world to see. It made me want to do more in life, be Earth-conscious, start recycling, stop wasting water. More importantly, my aim was to understand more about my fantastic and irreplaceable surroundings. I gained a new philosophy and a new understanding: to make the most out of what you are given." FELICITY HAMBLIN "At Wollangarra you are completely self sufficient It is you who prepares the meals that you will be eating and it is you who packs your own pack and erects your own tent If you want something done then you do it yourself." TOM CHAPMAN and JAMES DAVEY " I enjoyed Wollangarra! It was a very good place to get to know people better. The hiking was hard but enjoyable. The camp leaders were fun to be around and made what could have been a boring hike into more fun. I was annoyed I didn't take my fly fishing rod because there was a fish rising on the last nignt.
The groups hiked in different areas, experiencing the views from Mt Wellington and Mt Spion Kopje, the waterfalls (and ice in winter!) of Bryce's Gorge, the history of alpine huts, the remote beauty of Lake Tali Karng and the challenge of the climb to The Crinoline. Without electricity and modern conveniences, they were able to gain a new understanding of their surroundings and the importance of each individual's role in preserving the environment. Ant and Melissa finish their three year term at Wollangarra in 2000 and they have had a positive impact on our students during this time. A significant number of Collegians return annually to help in projects which repair and protect the alpine area. We wish the Mair family (including daughters Sarah and Jess) well in the future. Thanks also must go to the College staff members who accompanied the groups this year: Mrs Brown, Mr Gallus, Ms Palmer, Mr Terry, Mr Wood and Mr Kayler-Thomson. MR T PARKES

Arts Week Arts week... Inside Out
This year's Arts week was enacted under the title of 'Inside Out'. Over the course of three days, students from all Year levels joined in the festive occasion and partook in the range of activities on offer. This year the Fine Arts Faculty was fortunate to have painter Katherine Hattam, textile artist Hasanti Warland and Old Collegian ceramics graduate Shane Meyer. The week was launched once again at Assembly with a video and music featuring many of the students at work at the Austin Gray. It is a time when Morrison Hall comes alive with the creative vibes of the students. The purpose of the week is to have fun by bringing as many of the activities of the Austin Gray Centre to the main part of the school and thus involve as many people in the activities as possible. Once again the sounds of beating drums resonated from Morrison Hall, drawing in the crowds and creating a festival atmosphere. At no other time of the year does the Hall generate such warmth and good feeling. On offer this year were digital photography, painting and transfer printing, paper construction, wooden box making and decorating, ceramics and silk painting. For many students this is a week that they look forward to all year. Many have special creative skills, which they exercise during this week. A permanent reminder of the week will be hung somewhere around the school in the near future. This year it took the form of personal images of interest to students which were transfer printed onto craftwood and coloured. A special thank-you must go to the staff of the Austin Gray Centre who give so much of their time to ensuring that the week is enjoyed by everyone. Arts Week has now permanently locked itself into the College calendar and I would like to thank everyone for ensuring the success of the week.

Strzelecki Desert
The rebirth of The Geelong College Exploration Society under the leadership of Mr Phil Taylor continued in 2000.The initial plan for a desert experience similar to the Society's i960 Birdsville Track Expedition was to canoe and bushwalk in the Coongie Lakes area. This aim was thwarted by unprecedented floodwaters flowing down the Cooper Creek towards Lake Eyre, but this rare event provided the group with an extraordinary opportunity that very few people will ever enjoy. Sixteen students, accompanied by six adults (four staff and two spouses) paddled down the flooded Cooper Creek from the Burke and Wills Bridge crossing to Innamincka, where a base camp had been established by Old Collegian and experienced desert expeditioner Don Lawler. Two terms of planning, meetings, preparation of equipment and training saw us depart from the House of Guilds on the last day of Term 2. Days of outback travel on dirt roads were necessary to reach the flooded Cooper and the group had the chance to see remote places such as Broken Hill, Silverton, Tibooburra, Fort Gray, Cameron Corner and finally the Strzelecki Track as the four vehicles drove north to Innamincka in the tracks of explorers such as Charles Sturt and Burke and Wills. Learning how to canoe the swollen "creek" was daunting at first, but within a few days (and with some capsizes) the inexperienced paddlers had mastered many of the basic skills required to navigate water moving at speed through
trees and rocks. The expertise and guidance of Mr Roger Smith was vital in the group's progress. Along the way, significant historical landmarks, such as "the Dig Tree" associated with the Burke and Wills expedition were explored. Spectacular bird life and stunning sunrises and sunsets viewed from isolated bush camps beside the flowing Cooper provided an experience which none of us will forget. Of particular note was the degree to which the students, many of whom were in Year 10 and two each from Years 11 and 12, combined and supported each other to overcome the physical challenges and difficulties that confronted them. The second section of the expedition involved a long drive southwards to the Gammon Ranges, reputed to have some of the oldest rock outcrops in the world. The rugged landscape and very limited supply of water provided a different challenge for the group, but the natural beauty of the remote gorges was a reward for the steep climbs and rocky creek bed walking which is typical of this area. Walks to Bunyip Chasm and the pristine Rover Rockhole saw the red rocks come alive in the sunlight. Mr Roger Smith was invaluable as navigator and our outdoor skills continued to develop. The interaction between staff and students was positive and enjoyable with contributions from all members of the group. Our sincere appreciation goes to Mr Phil Taylor for his motivation, sense of history and many hours of organisation which made this trip possible. Thanks also to Gary and Mrs Margaret O'Loughlin for their planning and preparation of the expedition
Lawler for his driving skills in safely towing the vital food trailer, his stories of College life and characters and his wise advice, to Mrs Heather Smith for her medical care and to expedition leader Mr Rob KaylerThomson for his unquenchable enthusiasm, strength, dedication and concern for every member of the group. A Reunion Luncheon for members of the i960 and 2000 Expeditions was held in the Dining Hall after our return and both groups enjoyed swapping stories of their memories of the desert places they had seen. The Exploration Society's traditions of adventure, challenge and shared experience in remote locations have been maintained and strengthened in the year 2000. MR ROGER SMITH and MR TIM PARKES

he Environment Centre has undergone a transformation during 2000. A new Year 4 classroom has replaced the old potting sheds and from 2001 the students will be located in the 'Enviro'. Some of the large Cyprus trees have been removed to let more light into the area and to give the native trees a chance to take hold along the school fence line. In 2001 Year 4 students will learn first hand about wildlife, ecosystems and the roles people play in repairing and maintaining the environment. Each student will have a part to play in worm farming, a reduce, reuse and recycle program, conservation of local species, poultry keepng and growing and harvesting crops of exotic and indigenous species. On the escarpment above the Barwon River and below the Preparatory School 1700 trees have been planted.
Many College families and staff helped during a community day to plant, guard and mulch areas on the steep slope. Eventually the indigenous varieties will create a corridor of vegetation from the Barwon up to the Preparatory School and enable the movement of birds, insects and small marsupials into the school grounds.

College Debating: A profile
Lost wallets on the bus, compulsory 'Mac-attacks', disorganisation, late arrivals and general panic are all vital elements to a successful debating season. And successful is certainly the way to describe Season 2000 for the College debaters. College debaters are a rare, yet fine breed. Impossible to categorise, we range from the loud, outspoken to the more quiet, astute variety. The individual brains, characters, and expertise that combine to make a debating team are all of equal importance. As is the eagerness and enthusiasm that each debater projects. An ability to follow the subtle humour of Mrs Gainey must also be recognised. This year's best speakers Jo Silcock, Claire Wood, Ben Lannan, Angie Balaratnam, Laura Myers, Harley Beaumont, Lucien McMahon, Natalie Gainey, Laura Coad and Kate Seward must be congratulated. However, one must not forget all of the other consistent and talented speakers. Then, scattered throughout all teams are those magical team mates
fcflJackson and E Davey
who persuade the librarians to lend us the newspapers and magazines, who remind us what time the bus is leaving and who always have a dictionary. The bus driving talents and patience of Ms Mahoney are also fundamental ingredients to the debating recipe. And the ability to not take oneself too seriously must not be discounted. Being locked in a room for an hour to then speak for five minutes in front of adjudicators is quite a ridiculous thing to do. The courage of each speaker must be commended; the ability to challenge yourself and enjoy that challenge is what debaters thrive on. Whilst missing team members and late arrivals are all part of the bizarre trials of life as a College debater, it is part of the package that I have grown to love over the last four years. Of course thanks must go to each and every debater for their involvement, energy and talent and to the outstanding reliability and endurance of our beloved Ms Mahoney and Mrs Gainey. May next year be not only as much fun, but also as rewarding as 2000! KATE SEWARD - Captain

Work Experience Y
ear 10 students participated in a great work experience program earlier this year. Students went to work for a week in a wide range of positions, ranging from adventure parks and music centres, to restaurants and radio stations. Nick Black (Wettenhall), went to the Independent Forensic Science Services in Melbourne because it sounded like "Something different and an interesting topic". Nick thought work experience a good idea because you are allowed to "Work by yourself in a professional environment and you get to meet a lot of new people". The greatest thing about Nick's week was "Finding out about completely new stuff. It is really different to the movies - it's different day to day". He did have some embarrassing moments, such as when he made a mistake while conducting some tests on samples. It had taken him twenty minutes to set up and it took another hour to restart and do the tests again. Nick would definitely recommend the Independent Forensic Science Services to others because of its great diversity. Nick thinks that forensic science is the line of work he wants to be involved in, now that he has experienced it first hand. Alex Champness (Calvert) did her work experience at Falls Creek
Primary School because she likes children and wanted to go skiing. Alex was surprised when she found that Falls Creek is a really nice community and would recommend it to others because of this. Although Alex doesn't think she wants to be a teacher she said, "Work experience was a great experience". The best part of Alex's time at Falls Creek was seeing how small communities and small schools work and of course, the skiing was an added bonus. Alex enjoyed the work experience program, but felt that it "Shouldn't be compulsory because I can't see much benefit in only one week". Alex thinks that Year 10 is the best year for work experience because "The older you are the better, and it shouldn't happen in VCE". Alex was self-conscious when she went skiing. "Some of the small children were better than me. That was embarrassing!" Personally, I gained much from my work experience. I worked in a Fairfax suburban newspaper and learned a great deal about journalism and the courses offered for this career path. Most Year 10 students thoroughly enjoyed their work experience and learnt about the "world of work". Whether they gained any insight into their future or not depended on their particular placement.

Dean Elliott- 1st XVIII
1st XVIII
It would be true to say that the APS competition is a very competitive one. Despite being one of the smaller schools of the competition, which was a contributing factor in some disappointing losses, the 1st XVIII football team of 2000 finished the season in a rewarding way. Although we probably underachieved as far as results go, the opportunity of playing in a team and representing the school at first grade level, along with the camaraderie that was established, ensured that the team experienced many good times throughout the season. We went into the season confident that we could win more games than we lost and with an early victory against Scotch our confidence went through the roof. The next five games were disappointing and hindered by player injury, the team failed to reach its full potential, resulting in five consecutive losses. Something really needed to be done before we came in to battle with our old rivals Geelong Grammar. In front of an enormous crowd, at this annual "grudge" match, our first half performance was to say the least, dismal. Coming out of the rooms at the beginning of the third quarter knowing what was at stake, and with the words of our coach embedded in our brains, you could sense that we were a new team - a team that wasn't prepared to be the first to lose to Grammar in a number of years. We were not going to let Grammar get the better of us, and after playing the second half to the "death", our efforts were rewarded with victory by two goals. This inspiring win caused us to conclude the season successfully only dropping one out of last three games. Many thanks must go to our coach Mr Paul Jeffreys and assistant coach Mr Mark Russell, who provided us with a fantastic year and shared with us the skills of the game. Thanks to Mr Ross Vernon for his tireless support and encouragement for our team; to Mr Bobby Read for his medical expertise; to Derek Weeks for his boundary umpiring; to John Campanaro, our ever faithful goal umpire; to Andrew Nelson as runner; Ben Cummins and Ted Fitzgerald for their support in a variety of ways and finally to the many parents and supporters who have been with us throughout the season. Without these people, the year would not have been as successful as it was. Good memories will be taken out of this season and I am sure that the current Year 12s who played will never forget the games when they pulled on the old dark green and blue. During the season, the team consisted of the following players: Tim Allen, Dane Balodis, Jamie Bell, Tom Betts, Nick Betts, Andrew Boehm (Vice-Captain), Alex Boyle, Nick Bridges, Tom Butler, Tim Callan, Tim Clarke (Captain), Dale Cochrane, Ben Dew, Dean Elliott, Charles Fairbairn, Scott Fletcher, Ashley Freind, Charles Gordon, James Hope-Johnstone, James Laidlaw, Jacob Luca (Vice-Captain), James Meek, Reid Merriman, Patrick Miller, John O'Brien, Xavier Pearson, Jacob Spolding, Matt Torney, Sandy Waters.

2nd XVIII It was obvious early in the season of 2000 that the 2nd XVIII was not the strongest football team the College had ever seen. However, what we lacked in skill and technique was made up with spirit, determination, and endeavour. With such a lack-lustre and inadequate first half of the season, we were determined to make amends, and realise our full potential. It just happened to be College's greatest rival, Geelong Grammar that we were to face first

week back. "The boys" were determined to put our first win on the board and we did so in spectacular fashion. Starting with a strongly fought, low scoring first quarter, College went into the change 9 points up. We capitalised on this early break and from an inspiring pep-talk from Coach Cochrane we continued to get our hands on the leather and putting it through the big sticks to our advantage. Final scores were 12.11.83 College to Grammar 37.25. A much more confident 2nd XVIII College football side went on to win the next 3 games, but unfortunately lost the last game in a

many players stepped up to fill the leadership roles. The season consisted of wins against our arch rival Geelong Grammar, Xavier (2) and Haileybury, but we were narrowly defeated by Melbourne Grammar, Carey and Brighton Grammar. In the remaining games Scotch, Xavier (1), Wesley, and St Kevin's outclassed us although we fought hard throughout. A big thank-you must go to Mr Gilby for his support and encouragement throughout the year, and to Mr Patrao, who provided assistance throughout the season as well as filling in during Mr Gilby's absence. The team consisted of: Matt Boehm, Tom Pasco, Ed Sell, Peter David, Rob Kilpatrick, Sam Cummins, Nick Goldsworthy, Matt Torney (Co-Captain), James Hope-Johnstone (Co-Captain), Ben Doak, Chris Wilson, Nick Boyle, Richard Herd, John O'Brien (ViceCaptain), Will Kendall, Jamie Richards, Rohan Kux, Mark McDonald, Hugh Cust, Jack Perry, David Gilbert-Kent, Alex Burton, Hugh Lockie, Daniel Curtis, Mark Day.

Congratulations must go to those who made the 1st XVIII during the season and to those who fought out the challenges of the 2nds football, well done for finishing the season the way you did. Thanks must go to the coach Mr Ian Cochrane who put up with us all year and good luck to all those going on to play 1st and 2nds football next year. DALE BRUNS - Captain
Football-1OAs
The Year 10 football team had an enjoyable season. With a relatively unchanged side from Year 9, we were keen to see as much success as the previous year. Unfortunately, with the loss of our Year 9 Captain Nick Betts to the 1st XVIII, we couldn't repeat our successes. We managed to have 3 wins out of 10 matches. The team, although not always winning, played very well throughout a disrupted season. The two Captains of the team and the Vice-Captain made appearances in the lsts and Mr Gilby was unable to coach for several weeks due to a knee injury. The team coped very well under the circumstances and
Football Year 10Bs
The Year 10B football team did not have a great deal of success on the scoreboard, but it was a spirited team who always fought out the game, even when outgunned by much stronger opposition. Many players developed their skills greatly over the season. In particular, Michael Chapman became the "general" of the defense, Aswin learnt much about the Australian game, and John Silcock was a useful addition to the backline. Our core of key players from last year also continued to perform well: our Captain Elliot Brennan moving into the ruck, Michael McKenzie running all day and Stuart Hickman burrowing down into the base of the packs. Regular team members included: Elliot Brennan, Michael Chapman, David Crittenden, Mark Day, Callan Dendle, Richard Gough, Stuart Hall, Stuart Hickman, Edward Lawler, Michael Mackenzie, Tom Paton, Jamie Richards, Allan Robson and John Silcock.

Tim Andrews - 2nd XI
As with last year, we also "borrowed" boys from other Year levels, boarders, and even soccer players to make up a full team each week. Some of these helpers included Jordan Barr, Nick Black, Simon Cotter, Stuart Greig, Jim Grimwade, Nick Keng, Joe McCarty, Wade McPhersonf Andrew Pierce, Aiden Rippon, Aswin Sumampauw and Josh Strumpel. Our thanks to Mr Keating for coaching us again this year. ELLIOT BRENNAN-Captain. 1st Soccer.

1st XI
No wins! No draws! However all members of the team put in many memorable performances. Phil Naylor was the top goal scorer for the year with four. Brett Owen (Vice Captain) worked hard up front to create many chances throughout the season. His memorable moment came against Xavier where he controlled the ball 20 metres out, turned and hit a shot in one movement. The result was the goal of the year. Adam Webster, in his first season, was influential on the wing. He should be a vital player next season, as he will learn from his experience this year. Vangeli Babiolakis was probably the most skilful player. He was so skilful that he could manage to hit the post in just about every game
game from longrange shots. Marcus Lee improved greatly over the year. Although he started many games on the bench, his endeavour could not be doubted when on the pitch. Nick McDonald showed his strength in defence on many occasions. Simon Holt
(Most Improved) played consistently and stood tall against tough opposition. Steven Nichols developed his game well through the season playing consistently in defence or in the midfield. Nick Black (Most Valuable Player) displayed a high level of skill and judgement, organising the defence and providing the team with coverage. Ben Roberts made the right back position his own. Ben Collyer had a great first season making lots of incredible saves. Ed Cameron was brilliant in the air and won just about every contest. Derek Haybittel in his first season was on a steep learning curve and contributed well. James McGregor (Captain) led by example whether it was at training or in the game. He scored the first goal of the year in a move he started at the half way line. Many thanks must go to Mr Kovacev. His effort and patience have been great and very much appreciated by the team. JAMES MCGREGOR - Captain
2nd XI
The year 2000 was a good year for the 2nd XI soccer team. We started the year with success as the first two games were wins. The midseason was good, with a fair spread of wins losses and draws recorded. We concluded the year with success once again, as the team in the best team game I have seen in years, taking the game by 2 goals.

punched away by our keeper Will Dolley. Scoring from a free kick just after half-time, we hung on grimly to the end, much to the annoyance of the opposing coach, players and supporters. The defenders starred, but it was a great team effort and a much-needed morale-booster late in the season. The following awards were made at the end Thanks must go to the whole team, which is far too big to mention, but special thanks must go to Cam Nation's superb skill out on the wing; Dave Donaldson's powerful and direct boot, Stew Hamilton's outstanding performance in defence; Mat Shiels' aggressive style of play, Ed Billings' casual style, and of course Todd Knight's 'deal' But these people couldn't do it all, we wouldn't have been a team without the rest. None of this could have been done without the perseverance of our coach, Scott Wallace, to be known only as Scott, who gave up hours of his time to put up with the 2nd XI soccer team. BEN LANNAN - Captain
10AS
After two seasons in the lOBs we entered the top division for the first time this year. As expected, it was tough going, and we went down to Scotch 5-1 in the opening round, conceding four goals in the second half. This was a bad start, but in fact it was our worst loss for the whole season, and we bounced back immediately defeating Brighton 2-1 at Stead Park the following Saturday. The next five matches were lost, partly because the opposing teams had greater depth and skill, but partly because we could not put two good halves together. To be realistic, we were never going to beatXavier (0-3), Carey (1-4) or Haileybury (1-3), but we matched it with Wesley for most of the day (0-2), and we ought to have drawn at least with Geelong Grammar (1-2). On this occasion, the usual pattern was reversed: we were sluggish and disorganised in the first half but dominant in the second. Unfortunately, we were 20 down before we started to play well and time ran out. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the 1-0 win against St.Kevin's at Malvern in the second last round. They were a quality side - on a par with Scotch, Haileybury and Melbourne (who beat us 4-1 the next week) - but they simply couldn't penetrate our defence, which never gave them a moment's peace or many chances to shoot effectively from inside the penalty box. When they did get a shot on target, it was caught, deflected or

Principal goal-scorers were Winship and Watson with three each. LN ZOCH - Coach

With an obvious lack of players (8 or 9 instead of 11) for the majority of matches the team performed admirably. The regular players were determined enough to prevent many thrashings, and they even managed a few sensational victories. The second half of the season was the best and the team was only defeated once in this period. The first win was against Haileybury College and this seemed to motivate the team. From that point onwards the players were smarter in defence and they functioned well as a team. The better players as voted by the coach, Mr Ferrier, were John Paterson, Matthew Varley, Michael Agosta, Dominic DouglasGarden, Mark Costa. Thanks must go to William Dolley for his substitute goalkeeping; his assistance was greatly appreciated. SIMON HARRISON - Captain
Year 9
The 2000 season was a very successful season for the Year 9 soccer team. Our record was six wins, one draw and one loss. Notable performances were Harley Beaumont as leading scorer, Chris Kloester doing a fabulous job as goal keeper, Daniel Murray and Daniel Kim were great at setting up opportunities for other players. Tim Crowley had an excellent conversion rate when given a chance. James McDonald and Jared Holt were rock solid in defence whilst Michael Tripolino showed great endeavour and ability to do team things.
Other team members were Xavier Balkin, Brenton Ashbridge, James Davey, Ricky Jackson, James Hadfield, Julian Nation, James Weaver, Lachlan Mclnnes, Michael Scaife and Daniel Hoevenaars Awards for the season were: Most Valuable Player-Harley Beaumont; Most Improved-Chris Kloester; Coach's Award-Michael Tripolino; Most Consistent- Daniel Murray.

Hockey Boys'1st XI
The boys' hockey 1st XI completed a successful season in the strongest APS season for many years. The team was a combination of youth and experience and gelled well to form a competitive unit. The season started dauntingly with a home fixture against Xavier, then an away fixture to the powerful Scotch College. We performed admirably in these two matches against the premiership favourites, pressing even the talented Scotch line up. We then faced Haileybury College on Rankin Field confident that we could avenge the loss they inflicted upon us in 1999- This game proved to be the highlight of the season as the team seized the initiative with pinpoint passing and clinical finishing. College ran out the victors with an amazing 9-2 score line. With renewed confidence and team spirit running high, we tackled the fancied Brighton Grammar. Unfortunately, a fitter and more experienced unit out-

classed us on the day. Staring at 1-3 win/loss count, it was pivotal to our hopes of staying with the leading pack to overcome Carey in our last match before the winter break. The team put in a spirited performance, dominating possession, only to go down the wrong side of a 3-2 score line. Unperturbed by the result we returned at the beginning of Term 3 eager to tackle the four remaining APS sides, and in particular our arch rivals, Geelong Grammar. After a comprehensive loss to Wesley, our season was on the line. We travelled to Melbourne Grammar humbled by injuries and just trying to be competitive. College bounced back after conceding 3 early goals to go into the half 3-2 down. The second half saw a wonderful team performance, but the result sadly went against us again. This was arguably our best performance of the year, and with the next match the Geelong derby, instilled great confidence in all involved. The Geelong Grammar game saw the two faces of College hockey that had plagued the team throughout the entire season. Our first half was substandard as our pale blue opponents outplayed us. In the second half we took control, equalised, then went in search of a winning goal. This was not to be however, and the game ended level at 1 all. In the final match of the season we played Caulfield and lost 21 despite dominating the game. Throughout the season, we showed glimpses of brilliance and demonstrated our ability to dominate the game and possession. Unfortunately, our dominance and endeavour often went unrewarded. Despite this, all the team should feel proud of their performance throughout the season, for every player wore the green and blue with pride. Our team was relatively inexperienced, which created opportunities for emerging talent. Rob Harris and first timer Roshan Khozouei filled our goalkeeping role with great endeavour. Adam Kibbis was successfully converted from a volatile forward into our most reliable defender. This player thwarted many opposition attacks and was deceptively quick. Angus McLean and Charles Roy both matured into timely players and played key roles up front. Tom Kaye and James Kay held down half positions and were always consistent performers. The talented Scott Stanbridge, who bedazzled defenders with silky skills and managed to find the net regularly, filled our strik-
ing role. The find of the season however, proved to be Matthew Grant. "Bulldog" as he was often called, was a convert from the footy field to the hockey field. His 'no frills' style proved a winner, and too much for many opponents who fell into the trap of underestimating his work ethic. Shaun McKenzie and Al Renick, when fit, proved they could compete at 1st standard. This group of players was well led by their Captain, the courageous Sam West. Sam's positive attitude and timely words rubbed off on the younger members and bound the team together. He always led from the front and for this, he is to be congratulated. The younger members of the team filled vital holes in our line up. Lachlan Crawford established himself as a stern defender, whilst young Edward West earned a regular spot up forward with his ability to hit the target. Joel Bartlett appeared capably in a variety of positions when given the chance. Thanks must go to Mr Smith, whose patience and commitment with this group of young men was unquestionable. Whether it was at 7am morning practice or an early bus ride to a Melbourne match, Mr Smith was there with a smile. His effort with the group of 16 players was fully appreciated by all. WARWICK LAMB-Vice Captain Warwick was the glue that held the team together. He was our best performer across the season and he is to be congratulated on being selected in the APS representative team.

Boys' 2nd XI
The 2nd XI had an enjoyable, if not always successful, season. We were competitive most of the time, with a few memorable games, and few not so memorable. All players tried throughout the season even when they faced larger, more skilful teams. The players' skills improved dramatically during the season, and thanks must go to our ever-faithful coach Mr Montgomery for this growth and development of our playing Our team consisted of: Charles Hill (Vice Captain), Lachlan Pearce, Tom Brushfield, Shaun Mckenzie, James Sutherland,
Dominic Crowley, Luke Kuzmich, Tom Jackson, Philip Messenger, Al Renick, Simon Cust, Hugh Cust, Matthew Grant, Andre Trosky, Justin Pegg and myself as Captain I would like to thank all these players for a great season. I'm looking forward to a successful season next year. Again, thanks go to Mr Montgomery for doing a great job. TIM LINKE - Captain
Girls' 1st XI
The girls' 1st XI team enjoyed a great deal of success this year. Before this season, the team had not won a game in over two years, and this season we were fortunate enough to win two games. Throughout the season both as a team and as individuals, we developed our skills and improved our game immensely. Whilst at times our team struggled against the extremely high standard we faced in the APS, we always managed to enjoy ourselves and get the most out of each game. Our talented side consisted of many fine young players. These included Georgia Giblin our star Year 9, the very friendly Lisa DeStefano, a stunning Clara Davies, and everyone's favourite player Milly McLean. Fiona Sykes was a true asset to the team as was Tamie Wiffen, a sound defensive player creating many scoring opportunities. Kate Wiffen was a truly gifted player who provided many moments of entertainment, as did Jacinta "Bring it on" Holien. Sophie Halsall was delightful in the forward line, and Jayne Lamb captured our hearts with a memorable performance at Caulfield Wheelers Hill. Well done to our competent goalie Joanne Silcock who made a very promising debut in hockey this year. The always amusing Sophie Ayerbe performed well as usual, as did the two irreplaceable founders of the 'Hockiteers', Jenny Selvidge and Leah Martella both of whom always showed a great deal of skill and maturity. My warmest congratulations must go to Jacinta Holien for making the APS team, which is an outstanding achievement. Congratulations to Jayne Lamb and Fiona Sykes for making the APS representative trials. The team appreciated greatly the hockey support group parents for their hard work throughout the season. I wish to thank my Vice-Captain Leah Martella for all her support, and the other Year 12s who made my job as Captain very easy Special thanks to Mrs Lean who continued to be a very caring and extremely dedicated coach. In addition, a big thank you to Caroline Jordan for her invaluable contributions throughout the season, and for filling in as coach

The 2nd XI team this year consisted of a small backbone of dedicated and determined players and each week we relied on the good nature of some of the 1st and Intermediate players to join us so we could fill a full side. The following students were part of that team: • Marie Sinclair, who started the year as an inner but we soon learnt that she made a fantastic centre player. Marie was our highest goal scorer for the season. • Kate O'Donnell displayed her talents on the halfback line and was integral to the team's morale. Not a week went past without Kate laughing and joking... and cursing those flying divots! How they will replace them in the synthetic surface is anyone's guess! • Hannah Lockie is one of those players who will never give up. She played hard and fast all year and nothing was a chore to her. We always knew that if Hannah

and Marie weren't at training we might as well cancel it. They were definitely the backbone! • Elin McPadden was placed on the halfback line also. Elin was the other bookend to Kate and they played well together. Elin would always be smiling even on those very early starts when she had to rearrange her life so that she could represent the College. • Penny Finch replaced Jo Silcock as goalie about halfway through the season. She did a great job in the goals only allowing 4 to pass her. Not many people can stand in front of small, hard balls travelling at very fast speed, so Penny is to be congratulated on her courage. • Jenny Patchett played on the wing. We often wondered if Jenny would actually be at the game on Saturdays, but just when we thought she wasn't coming, she would turn up. We just got used to the fact that she liked her extra five minutes in bed! Were things different when you were living in Werribee and not across the road? • Bronwyn Rose. When one speaks to Bronwyn one would not believe she could be a determined, courageous, sometimes-savage hockey player. Normally she is a soft spoken, gentle lady. There must be something about the smell of hot, sweaty, grassy hockey players that turns Bronwyn into the savage beast! We definitely know that Bronwyn likes her extra five minutes in bed...who could forget the time we had to drive the bus around to her place to get her out of bed! Overall, it was a great season. We won five games and lost four. Thank you to those other players that filled in during the year. MS P. CLARK
Boys' Year 9
After a great preceding year with only one loss, the 9A hockey team was looking set for a good season. We were expecting a little loss of quality after the half-year break and with new players being integrated into the team. However, we were not counting on having our best three players moved up to the 1st XI. We accepted these changes and knuckled down to face the season. We combined well as a team and had the majority of possession in most of our games. If the goals had been about 5 centimetres wider on each side we would have won considerably more matches - the amount of post shots and near misses we had were enough to make a stone statue weep. Although our wins didn't really swell to overwhelming heights, the team thanks our coach Mr Quail as every team member played consistently, had the odd fantastic game and the morale was good throughout the season. The team consisted of: Nick Blyth, Peter Carmichael, Peter Dennis, Ross Dennis, Michael Dijkstra, Ben Donald, Peter Hough, Mitchell Hodgson, Joel Hutchinson, Will Jackson, James Mewing, Steven Oliver and James Stewart. The team also had occasional help throughout the season from Joel Bartlett, Lachlan Crawford and Edward West PETER DENNIS
Tennis Boys'lst VIII
The 1999/2000 season saw the College boys' 1st tennis team face tough opposition each week. However every team member continually put in his best effort and thus made the season one of enjoyment and fulfilment. The season did not start particularly well as we soon realised just how far below the top teams we really were. Our practice match against Scotch resulted in a 16 set to 0 thrashing, and it became obvious that we had a lot of work ahead of us. With a potential win in our first proper match, we knuckled down to the rigours of two morning training sessions (which for most of us, started at 7.00 am) and one afternoon session each week with the invaluable assistance of our coaches Mr Cameron and Mr Smith. In Round 1 we came up against Carey Grammar who finished bottom of the ladder last season. Under some pressure to win, we were successful, producing a 10 set to 6 victory. Everyone contributed to the win with some particularly good performances from Nick Goldsworthy, James Alston and Andrew Sheahan. Rounds 2 and 3 saw a reversal in opposition as we came up against last year's premiers Haileybury, and another strong side St Kevin's. While the team competed with outstanding sportsmanship, it did not show on the scoreboard as we were handed heavy defeats in both cases. After a long summer break in which we attended a strenuous training camp, we returned rejuvenated for our clash with archrivals Geelong Grammar, who had not beaten us since 1881, when inter-school matches first began. A superb team effort resulted in a resounding 12 sets to 4 victory as we kept up our dominance in the local derby. Ben Goldsworthy, Andrew Sheahan, Alex Boyle and Derek Haybittel were all in great form, while Nick Bridges played fabulous tennis to notch up his first singles success for the year. I regret to say that we did not win again for the remainder of the season. In our next round we lost narrowly to Melbourne Grammar 9 sets to 7. Nick Bridges and Simon Holt both fought out gutsy singles matches and finished eventual winners. We received a hiding from Brighton, with Alex Boyle and Derek Haybittel putting in a terrific performance in their doubles and then a week later we lost at the hands of Wesley with Boyle, Haybittel and Holt once again giving the team some respectability on the scoreboard. In the last few rounds of the season, we lost to Xavier, Caulfield and Scotch. Our bottom half consisting of James Alston, Nick Goldsworthy, Andrew Sheahan and Nick Bridges all showed improvement in these latter matches and can hopefully continue their efforts next season. Ben Goldsworthy was also a significant contributor in these final matches, playing particularly well in the doubles. The team finished the season third bottom on the ladder with 2 wins and 8 losses. Thank you to Mr Smith and Mr Cameron for all their work throughout the season and congratulations to the boys for a great season. The team spirit throughout the season was fantastic and I wish those continuing on next year the best of luck. MARCUS KING - Captain
Boys' 2nds
Although it was an unsuccessful season in terms of results, this did not represent the talent within the squad. Every week the boys fought hard and many brilliant individual performances were recorded. If all of the players could have put it together in the one week, we would have beaten most other teams. We battled hard throughout all matches but were outgunned by the more consistent Melbourne schools. The highlight of the season was the match against Caulfield Grammar where we lost the match in a marathon session but came home with the trophy. Despite the lack of success the boys had an enjoyable season. The squad consisted of Marcus McWilliam, Marcus Lee, Ben Cummins, Ben Roberts, Andrew Hamilton, Sam West, James Urquhart, Jacob Luca, Dale Bruns and Zac Brennan.
Derek Haybittel, Tennis Boys' 1st VIII
Boys' 4th VIII
The boys' 4th tennis VIII had a most enjoyable season, winning three of six games, a fine achievement considering the ever changing squad. Some memorable wins were recorded throughout the season, such as the nail-biter against Xavier, an eleven set to one rout of Melbourne Grammar, and our opening match against across-town rivals Geelong Grammar, which was tied after the doubles, until our boys stepped up a gear, and won seven of the eight singles matches. Dane Balodis, Tom Kaye and Simon Bowler were regular Year 12 players in our side, and all put in consistent performances throughout the season. Year lis: James Kay, Tom Ross and Ed

Special thanks should go to our coach Mr Vernon, who assisted us not only in the finer aspects of the game but also ensured we were punctual, appropriately dressed, always with a positive attitude ready to play.

Regular contributors to the team were Edward Billings, Jeremy Holder, Dane Balodis, Jordan Barr, Scott Stanbridge, Simon Bowler, Cam Nation, Brad Giblin, Justin Pegg, Dominic Crowley, Toby Van Hest and Tom Jackson. In all, it was a very successful and most rewarding season.
Congratulations to all the boys that were part of a most successful season of tennis. Always displaying good sportsmanship, the boys always played their best, even through the blistering Brighton heat, the downpour at Dendy Park, and the three-inch high natural grass on the Xavier Courts. Thanks must go to Mr Wamsteker who throughout the season has aided our tennis styles at training and on Saturdays, and we thank him greatly for his leadership and commitment. CAMERON NATION - Captain

Boys' 5th VIII
Boys' Year 9 teams
Our tennis season started in November of 1999 and we played our final match at the end of Term 1 in 2000. The season saw us play in a variety of weather conditions that ranged from 40°° heat to heavy wind and rain. During the season we managed some very good wins against Caulfield Grammar, Wesley College, Haileybury College and Brighton Grammar. The experience of these games and other more challenging ones gave the members of the team an opportunity to develop their skills in tennis and & such the team improved in their skill of the game, particularly in the areas of serving and volleying. All the players enjoyed the season, with good partnerships in doubles being formed. The members of the team enjoyed a healthy camaraderie, with all games being played in the true spirit of genuine sportsmanship with the occasional entertaining on court "antics" of Jeremey Holder, Tom Jackson and
The Year 2000 saw even more boys signing up for tennis, with 24 boys available for the 9A and B teams. Competition for a place in the 9As was therefore keen. Richard Cherry, Benjamin Donald, Daniel Murray, Timothy Crowley, Joshua Strumpel, James Weaver and Matthew Messinger made up the core of the team with Timothy Ballan, James Davey, Jared Holt and Brenton Ashbridge also contributing during the season. Richard and Benjamin combined well as the No. 1 pair, winning many of their doubles and singles games. They were ably supported by Daniel Murray and James Weaver who improved as the season progressed. Although not winning many matches, the team was nevertheless very competitive and acquitted themselves well throughout the season. Due to the large numbers, the 9Bs rotated during the season. They were faced with extremely strong opposition and, although not winning a match, improved their skills considerably. Thanks must go to Mr Greg Smith (Art) who took the Year 9s for skills coaching. All players were enthusiastic about their tennis and enjoyed the season. The team included: Brenton Ashbridge, Bill Alston, Timothy Ballan, Gregory Butyn, Peter Carmichael, James Davey, Timothy Hobday, Jared Holt, Richard Jackson, William Jackson, Wade McPherson, Julian Nation, Ward Sims, Michael Tripolino and Edward West.

Girls'1st VIII
The girls' 1st VIII tennis team had a successful 1999/2000 season, finishing second in the APS competition. Despite the loss of four senior team members and the attack of glandular fever that left Alex McLeod and me on the sidelines, we found that we had a very committed and talented group of girls. The team consisted of Tamie Wiffen, Kate Wiffen, Emily Tresize, Pip Hayden, Tina Reilly, Vice-Captain Jane McMillan, Alex McLeod, Katrina Dennis and Jane Hayden. We started the year with two strong wins
against Wesley and Geelong Grammar and continued in this fashion, losing only twice for the season, both times falling to a stronger Caulfield side. One of the most memorable moments was Katrina Dennis' singles match against Wesley, where she won 18-16 in the tiebreaker in searing heat. Emily had many excellent performances, losing only 4 games in her singles sets all year. A special mention must also go to Jane Hayden, for her contribution to the team when Alex was unable to play due to illness. Tina Reilly performed excellently in her singles matches, winning 9 out of 10 for the season. Tamie and Kate were a most successful No. 1 doubles pair, winning 12 sets out of 14, showing that they fully deserve their selection for the APS team. Pip Hayden moved drastically up the order from last year into the 2nd doubles pair and held her own against the best, with her and Emily winning 10 out of 12 sets. Alex and Jane were undefeated in their doubles pairing, winning all 6 sets they played together. I would like to thank Mr Young and Coach, Andrew Cameron, for their organisation and advice throughout the season and Jane for her wonderful support as Vice-Captain of tennis. Their determination and enthusiasm helped make the season such a great success. I would also like to wish the girls good luck for next season. As the team will be relatively unchanged, they should be able to look forward to another extremely successful season. MARIE SINCLAIR - Captain
Girls' 2nds
The girls' 2nds tennis began the millennium with an explosive start of consecutive wins, dropping only one match for the season. All girls played with great consistency and to the best of their ability. The 2000 team comprised of combinations of: Hannah Lockie, Simone Kux, Jane Hayden, Jane Lawler, Anna Betts, Laura Coad, Amy Young, Phoebe King, Peggy Austin and Alice Wettenhall. As this was the last season for the Year 12 girls, they all should be commended upon their four years of quite outstanding commitment and performance. I wish the girls the best of luck in future seasons of College tennis. Special thanks must go to Mrs Brown for her continuous support for the team and for our many trips to Lygon and Acland Streets for icecream! JANE LAWLER - Captain
Girls' 3rds team
The girls' 3rds team had a mixed season. We recorded a number of wins but struggled against the larger Melbourne schools. However, all girls played their matches in a strong and determined manner. Generally our performance in the singles rubbers was strong and on occasions, our doubles play matched this. The permanent members of this team were: Peggy Austin, Naomi White, Rebecca Herd, Stacey Lancaster, Sarah Hopkins,

Training steadily throughout blistering, 30 degree afternoons with support from our drink bottles paid off. Tennis season 2000 turned out to be a successful one for the Years 9 and 10 Intermediate Girls' tennis teams. The Inter A squad of Merryn Allen, Sally Caldwell, Phillipa Cances, Tessa Fitzpatrick, Stephanie Guyett, Belinda Holt, Kristen Kiroff, Sally Robertson, Alice Urquhart and Shae White had a great season of tennis recording only two losses. Likewise the Inter B squad of Giselle Campanaro, Madeline Cooke, Jodie Farquharson, Courtney Hammett, Felicity Hammett, Natasha Kidman, Camille Mewett, Laura Myer, Katrina Petersen, Emily Seward, Madeleine Spokes and Cobi Vagg won the majority of their matches and only recorded 3 losses for the season.

Badminton 2
000 was the second year for The College's APS badminton teams, with the lsts moving up from the 3rds to the 2nds level. This team consisted of David Coghill, James McGregor, Alvin Tan and David Winship. Our 2nds team of David Donaldson, William Liu, Drew Robertson, Ben Lannan and Phil Naylor, who played in the 3rds competition, were extremely competitive throughout the season. Our 1st IV had a spectacular follow-up to last year's debut season, dropping only one match during the season, while playing against teams often far more experienced than our own. In each match won, it was the College boys' determination and talent which shone through as the deciding factor. Renae Butterworth, Girls' Open A Badminton
With a sheer lack of space for talented players, our boys' 2nds performed far better this year than was to be expected. While for many of the boys it was their first time playing, it was not long before they gained the skill and experience necessary in APS competition. This year's girls' A team came through as one of the forces in APS badminton. After a slow start, the team of Renae Butterworth, Jo Woodland, Bronwyn Rose, Kylie Harris, Candice Holt and Jenny Patchett were soon overcoming their opponents with ease, in both the singles and doubles competition. Later in the season, Renae Butterworth and Jo Woodland went on to play in the individual APS girls' championship. They were most successful in coming 2nd and 11th respectively. With more experience after their first season in 1999, the girls' B team also had a much better season in 2000. This year the team consisted of Ajeng Pitaloka, Shannon Carlson, Emma Hardcastle, Melissa Sleep, Andrea Soenarjo, Lucinda Halsall, Holly White and Phelia Grimwade. Although they did not win the majority of matches, they came extremely close in all but a few, and won several. I would like to thank our coaches Mr Clifford and Mrs Coghill for their fine efforts in coaching us this year, and I look forward to an even more successful year in 2001. DAVID COGHILL - Captain

Rowing Boys' Captain of Boats Report
The 2000 rowing season for the boys of the College Boat Club was one that reflected the extremes of competitive sport. There were great successes and there was bitter despair. The season started in typical fashion after the culmination of the athletics with a slow start due to early injuries and sickness in the senior boys' crews and a lack of numbers for a boys' 4th VIII. Nevertheless, all were looking forward with anticipation to a season that some thought could be the drought-breaker. The annual Falls Creek Rowing Camp commenced after Speech Day and looked to be a riot for young and old with some rowing in between, and I'm happy to say much was achieved over the time. Snow on the last day was a good enough reason to skip the final training session of the camp. Many friendships were strengthened and this would be a factor when the pressure was to come in the later part of the season. We all returned after the break ready to regain lost fitness and to clock up some wins. The Head of the Yarra regatta was the first regatta to be
contested for the boys' 1st VIII with little to gain from the experience of racing 8k. We came 5th, well back after numerous crashes with veteran womens' crews. The next two months were spent by all senior and junior boys' crews racing in various practice regattas. Pleasing results were recorded by the 4th VIII who were competing extraordinarily well considering most were first time rowers. The Year 9 and 10 VIIIs were also forces to be reckoned with in their respective divisions. No doubt the College boats will be safe for the coming years on the racetrack. The Muckies this year were a very fit and technically sound crew, and quite often pushed the 1st VIII to their limits in training. They were looking to do big things on Head of the River day and everyone expected them to do so as they had exceptional results throughout the season. On the big day success eluded them, however, and the C final may sound an unfitting reward for such a splendid crew. They must be given credit for showing such character in the face of defeat. For the first time in 7 years the Fairbain Cup was in the hands of College rowers, a fitting reward not only for the members of the crew, but for the Boat Club and the school. Only the best crew on the day was to win from The most open field in years', and it was to be. My personal thoughts throughout the season were along the lines of 'You can't possibly win having this much fun'. I am glad to be proven wrong. Many thanks must go to all senior and junior coaches, to Mr Bob Morse for his humour in the sight of a desolated shell and to Mr Payne for his job at the helm of the junior boys. Thanks must especially go to Mrs Danni Karis for her job as Head of Boys' and Girls' rowing. I think her words 'If you don't make the A final, I'll kill you' spurred the 1st VIII along. I wish the Boat Club continued success for the years to come, I hope this is the start of a set of glory days such as we have not seen since the 1990s. TIM ALLEN-Captain of Boats
Boys 1st VIII
Boys' 1st VIII
The 1999/2000 rowing season for the 1st VIII was one of success and glory, with us breaking the drought and bringing home the Charles Fairbairn cup for the first time since 1993. The beginning of the season saw many seat and crew changes and this remained the norm up until rowing camp where a crew was roughly set. Our first rewarding regatta was the Australian Henley. After winning our heat we moved into the final. Off the unfavoured north lane, we took off last behind Carey and Geelong Grammar, however we finished strongly to win by half a length. After a few more promising results we felt confident going into the HOR. The Head of the River represents the 'premiership' of APS schoolboys' rowing and for us culminated up to four years rowing at the College. We were eager to perform well and came in to the regatta as the 'dark horse'. The other crews knew we could produce the most boat speed, but we hadn't shown that we could do it Consistently. To our delight, we made the

final after two 2nd places in the heat and semi respectively. The Head of the River final was to be contested by Xavier, Carey, Geelong Grammar and College. We went out of the blocks at a controlled rating of 45 strokes per minute and settled into our rhythm early. Geelong Grammar went out quickly and were leading coming into the first 500m, with ourselves in 2nd and Carey off the pace in 3rd. We started to take seats on Geelong Grammar and drew level by the 1000m, rating a more comfortable 37 strokes per minute. It was a three boat race coming into the last 500m and we picked up the boat speed again, rating at around 40 strokes/minute, and moved half a length ahead of Grammar and Carey. Both Carey and Geelong Grammar had a go at us, but we were able to hold them off, crossing the line first with Carey 2nd and Geelong Grammar 3rd and Xavier in 4th place. We had won the Head of the River in 4 minutes 32 seconds against a strong head wind.The Geelong College 1st VIII crew consisted of: Sean Sowerby (bow), Andrew Nelson, Lachlan Pearce, James Milsom, Cameron Galbraith, Tim Linke, Tim Allen, Oscar Stanley (stroke), Brett Owen (cox) and Jeff Watt as coach. On behalf of the crew I would like to thank the Director of Boats, Mrs Danni Karis for all her organisation, and our coach Jeff Watt, whose insight and knowledge taught us not only how to row maturely, but showed us what it takes to achieve our goals. This season has changed the lives of all nine men in the boat and I wish next year's crew all the best. BRETT OWEN - Cox
Boys' 2nd VIII
The 1999/2000 was a very mixed season for the boys in the 'Muckies'. We came together as a bunch of leftovers from the lsts late in 1999 and were converted into an awesome rowing machine by the time of the Head of the River. Many rowers had the privilege of gracing the seats in r o u r boat this year. These included Jonathon Friend, Nicholas Gilchrist, Nicholas Whitworth, Stephen Ryan, Shaun McKenzie, Tim Andrews, Scott Jordan, Adam Kibbis, Derek Weeks,
Simon Cust, James Hyatt and myself. Of this bunch, the final crew was selected around one week before the Head of the River. It consisted of Simon in bow, Shaun in 2 seat, Stephen in 3,NickWhitworthin4,Nick Gilchrist in 5, Derek in 6, Adam in 7, myself as the stroke, and our exceedingly talented cox Rebecca Everett. After a whole season of not knowing whom he was allowed to row due to some of his boys Tim Macauley 1st Skulls
having 1st VIII commitments, our extremely capable and influential coach Richard Tomczak finally got us together and to row well. In our penultimate training session for the year he told us we were going to race the soon-to-be Head of the River champions, the 1st boys, in three five hundred metre races. To our absolute shock we blew them away in the first race, held them comfortably in the second, and were narrowly beaten in the third. Following this awesome form, we entered the Head of the River Friday heats quietly confident. However, we drew the Boys' 4th VIII extremely ill-favoured lane 1 for our heat and were only able to manage third position. This put us through to a repecharge final in the afternoon. Again, we drew lane 1. In the best row for the whole season we were looking comfortable until the 500 metre mark, but we soon hit dead water, and from then on we were gone. We could only manage third position. This meant our dream was over and we were left to battle it out in the C-final. We came second to a strong and unlucky GGS crew in a most disappointing finish to a very successful and immensely enjoyable season. Thanks must go to Richard Tomzcak, Rebecca Everett
and Head of Rowing, Mrs Danii Karis, for looking after us throughout the year and for putting up with all our mischievous antics. CHARLES GORDON - Stroke.
Boys' 3rd VIII
The College 3rd VIII had a very inconsistent season 2000, with some pleasing and some disappointing results. Throughout the whole season the entire crew put in one hundred percent and we got past the painful training four times a week to come to the Head of the River on the Barwon not knowing what to expect. We ended up in the C final against traditional rivals in Geelong Grammar and Melbourne Grammar. Throughout the whole race, we tried our hardest to conquer our rivals and we ended up coming third in a well fought race. The race was full of pain but also glory when we found out that the other crews were disqualified, making the College 3rd VIII victorious by default. Overall,this enthusiastic and promising crew for the future was fun to row with and made the whole season successful. The members of the College 3rd VIII from bow were: Robbie Harris, Leigh Madden (2), Charles Hill (3), John Carmichael (4) Tim Andrews (5), James Hyatt (6), Charles Roy (7), stroke, Jonathon Friend and coxed by Edward East. We were coached by Nathan Seeckts. JONATHON FRIEND - Stroke
Boys' Year 10 Is! VIII
The 1999- 2000 season was an eventful but unsuccessful one for the boys' Year 10 1st VIII. We managed to tip our boat at the landing early in the season, drenching ourselves but cooling down at the same time. Coach Curnow pushed us hard, making us do countless ergos and many swing throughs in the darkness of the morning, but he rewarded us with McDonald's breakfasts! For our crew, consisting of James Hope-Johnstone (bow), Matthew Varley (2), James Sutherland (3), David Crittenden (4), Elliot Brennan (5), Ben Doak (6), Hugh Lockie (7), Peter David (stroke) and James O'Rourke (cox), the Head of the River draw was almost impossible. We were up against Xavier College, Wesley College and favourites Melbourne Grammar in the heat. After being given Lane 1, the lane we had for almost the entire season, we did not finish high enough to make the semi- finals. Our repecharge was also a hard one. Again we were against Xavier College and again we were beaten by them. This put us into the C final. This tough race was against Caulfield Grammar and the fast improving Geelong Grammar. For the whole race, we were neck and neck with the latter. Fortunately, after using every joule of energy in our last few strokes, we were able to take the race in a photo finish over Geelong Grammar.
4th VIII
Many thanks must go to Mr Curnow for all his time and effort, and to our parents who drove us to the river many times in the darkness of the morning. Although we did not win the all-important Head of the River, we all developed our fitness and gained a deep understanding and respect for each other. It was just a pity that our result did not reflect the season we know we had. PETER DAVID -Stroke.
Boys' 4th VIII
The year 2000 senior boys' 4th VIII for the Head of the River consisted of Luke Kuzmich (bow), Ben Kloester (2), Robert Kilpatrick (3), Stuart Greig (4), Tom Paton, (5), Martin Kumnick (6), Doug Eden (7), John Sawade (stroke), Tamara Woolley (cox) with Peter Miller as coach. After the usual season of crew changes and reshuffles from above, we finally settled in a couple of weeks before the big day. We surprised even ourselves with an exciting win in the heats on Friday, defeating Caulfield and Haileybury. This put us straight into the semi-final on Saturday. The nerves were bad and the opposition much stronger, but we managed a valiant second place to Brighton Grammar which took us into the "A" final. The final race was dominated by Scotch College's two crews coming in first and third, with Brighton Grammar second, and us in fourth place. To have made the "A" final was great. The rowing season and participation in the Head of the River on the Barwon was a valuable experience for all. The encouragement and support we received throughout the year and on the day was really appreciated, but particular thanks must go to Peter Miller for his patient guidance. JOHN SAWADE - Stroke

Under guidance of Stuart, our cox, we managed the enormous feat of not crashing once during the season. Thanks to Will Ritchie, our coach, we developed muscles we did not know we had as the season continued. Competition for a place in this crew was fierce and it took dedication and persistence to hold on to a place in the boat. During the season, there was a bit of swapping of seats, but we eventually developed into a powerful crew. The hard practice sessions were lightened by comedy, usually led by James Pickles, which we all appreciated. Unfortunately, we were not greatly successful during the season, but we enjoyed the experience and have memories of hard work, laughter and blisters to last until next season. SAM HESPER - Stroke.
Girls' Captain of Boats Report
After going from the time-consuming commitment of four laboring training sessions a week, an uncountable number of kilometres and in the last few weeks of the season, a mental build up compared to no other, the adrenaline rush and determination to win the one race, the one goal of the rowing season- Head of the River, then in one day, 5 minutes and it's over. Girls' rowing this season showed tremendous potential, commitment and improvement. Although the senior girls saw only moderate success, all crews worked hard and built their level of

skill and technique consistently throughout the season. Every girl did their best and that is the most important achievement of them all. However, as Captain of Boats this season, I witnessed the crews turning from a group of girls pulling on oars to a crew of rowers working as a team, together. It proved one of the most satisfying aspects of the entire season. The junior girls took the spotlight this season with numerous crews obtaining wins and titles. The Year 10 1st, 2nd and 3rd crews went through the season undefeated. The College can optimistically await the coming years of girls' rowing, if this season is any indication, there is some wonderful talent on the horizon! The senior girls' crews, in particular the 1st and 2nd VIIIs took part in many laborious early morning and afternoon rows to improve their fitness, technique and of course, their compatibility with each other to work as a crew. The senior crews were somewhat disturbed throughout the season by never ending crew and seating changes usually due to illness or injury. This finally ended the week before Head of the River when 1st coach Rob Gardener made his final selection. The crews performed to their best on the day and can only be proud of their achievements. Congratulations must also go to those girls who had put in so much hard work but were forced to give up their seats as a result of ongoing illness or injury. Their support and continuing commitment certainly helped the other crews perform to their best ability. The Christmas holidays provided the senior rowers with two camps and the juniors with one. The seniors first tripped off to Falls Creek where the snow and hail did not allow quality training. However, the bonding, walking, running and hiking proved popular fitness alternatives with the coaches. The second camp on our trusty Barwon saw solid training and persistent improvement. Rowing requires the most time, energy and exhaustion of all things I know. One thing is for sure though, once you are hooked on it, you grow to love it, torture, glory, and all!

of relentless ergos and dreaded weights revealed an exceptional group of girls emerging from the junior rowing squads, forcing each and every girl to consider why it should be them to gain a seat in the prestigious 1st VIII. We all had a great time at Falls Creek rowing camp at the end of last year. We spent the time getting fit and strong, and rowing when the weather was kind. We had hoped crews would be settled by the end of the camp, but no-one was really sure of their position in the boat. This situation continued right up until the Head of the Schoolgirls' regatta. After many disappointing rows in the early stages of the season, coach Rob Gardner called a meeting of the eventual crew members. These were Eliza Hobba (bow), Danni Teasdale (2), Georgie Allen (3), Brydie Meek (4), Amy Walker (5) Sophie Halsall (6), Lucy Forbes (7), Sarah Chapman (stroke) and Georgie Dawson who, although she did not row in the final Head of the River race, was as much part of the crew as any other member. It was decided that although our past did not show any grand victories, we were undoubtedly the best looking crew on the river. And so, with technique our predominant fore-thought, we set out for the final regatta with determination, spirit and pure aggression, bringing us home a commendable third behind Geelong and Caulfield Grammars. Thanks must go to our coach Rob Gardner who worked closely with every member to produce a united force that, when in full power, was as impressive as any victorious crew. Finally, best of luck to all future rowers undertaking the memorable challenge of Geelong College rowing. SARAH CHAPMAN - Stroke

The 1999/2000 rowing season started with a strong squad of 16 girls with a lot of enthusiasm. The sixteen girls trained as a squad for the first couple of weeks and from then on, the girls' 2nd VIII was constantly changing throughout the season. The girls' 2nd VIII final Head of the River crew consisted of Stephanie Favaloro (bow), Kate Calder (2), Sarah Weber (3), Jess Crossley (4), Amanda Mitchell (5), Kara Bell (6), Georgie Dawson (7), Claudia Muhor (stroke) and Joanne Silcock (cox). Miranda Hobday, was with us for most of the season. However, she unfortunately pulled out due to an injury only several weeks before the main race. Unfortunately, we did not achieve the results we aimed for but we could not be happier at where we had finished considering the setbacks we had faced. We had trying conditions to pull together a crew within the last 3 weeks due to injuries, crew changes and sickness. We did not have the size and strength of the girls from the other schools, yet we qualified for the A final in the Head of the River, after a convincing win in our heat. However, we fell to a stronger field in the final. On behalf of all the crew members I would like to thank our coach Sean Drew, for his efforts, support and encouragement throughout the season. Everyone had a hardworking, but enjoyable season. CLAUDIA MUHOR-Stroke.
Junior Girls'
The Year 10 1st and 2nd IV had a fantastic season. The squad of ten girls were often moved between the two boats by Ken Smith as he endeavoured to find the best combination of girls. Both crews had an exceptional season winning a State Championship, Head, of SchoolGirls and Head of the River. The rowers wereLucy Simms, Alicia Woolley, Harriet Morgan, Phoebe Cole, Kate I Anderson, Lisa Gray and Charlotte O'Loughlin. They were coxed with enthusiasm bv Sarah Harbutt and Lisa De Stefano. On behalf of the members of both crews a big thank you is sent to Ken Smith for being the best coach. LUCY SIMMS The junior girls' were very strong this year, both in numbers and ability. There were 6 crews at each Year level so every regatta was a massive organisational effort. One of the best regattas was at Carrum, when five gold m e d a l s ' were won, amidst great excitement. The commitment and enthusiasm shown by all girl rowers is to be commended, and we look forward to their future successes. MRS DONNA LANNAN

Snowsports O
n Sunday August 20 a team of 37 eager young men and women journeyed to Mt Buller to compete in the annual Victorian Interschool Skiing Championships. We knew that there was going to be some magnificent snow on the mountain and we were greeted by 150 centimetres of quality white powder. Although it was not long after we had arrived before some heinous weather created less than ideal skiing conditions The senior boys hit the slopes on Monday and while the weather may not have been up to scratch, this didn't stop some excellent times being recorded. Nick Whitworth was the standout skier in the Division 1 boys' alpine event, recording the fastest time and being placed 68th. Other pleasing results came from Nick Gilchrist and Nick Braun who were placed 70th and 79th respectively in a field of 138. Tom Betts was placed 74th. The junior boys had their events on Tuesday and again the weather was inclement creating some difficult racing conditions. The Division 2 racing was highlighted by Jack Perry, who managed to place 34th in the trying conditions. Other delightful results came from Matt Torney, Nick Betts, James Hope-Johnstone, James Sutherland, Peter Carmichael, Chris Kloester, Piers Mitchell and the Paton boys, David and Tom. The Boardercross event was expected to be dominated by Jamie Richards and he exceeded all expectations. Jamie raced extremely well and placed 3rd overall. This allowed Jamie to proceed to the National finals, along with Jack Perry, Ben Doak and Alex Burton. The boys placed third in the Nationals, with Jamie Richards placing an individual 2nd. In the Division 1 girls' Alpine event Emma Crowl
Year 2000 Snow Sports Team
had two good runs to place well in a field of 168 girls. In the Division 2 girls' Alpine event in a field of 240 girls, Lisa Gray placed 28th, Tessa Fitzpatrick 64th and Lisa DeStefano 89th. Also in the low hundreds were Georgina Giblin, Kristen Kiroff, Sophie Peedle, Stephanie Guyett, Angela Paton, Sophie Betts and Genevieve Crowl. Roxy Green blitzed the field gaining 1st place in the both the Moguls and the Alpine events. Roxy also competed in the Australian National Junior championships this season, which includes skiers from Europe, North America and Australia. Roxy placed 3rd in the Giant Slalom, but was the highest ranking Australian, making her Australia's fastest Under 16 Slalom Skier. Congratulations, Roxy. Our congratulations go out to all those who competed this year. Each year the College Snowsports team seems to improve in both size and ability, adding to the school's many sporting attributes. None of this would be possible without the many hours of preparation that is put into getting us up to the slopes. We would like, on behalf of the Ski team, to thank Mr Hibbard in particular for everything he does to coordinate what always turns out to be such a successful and enjoyable three days competition. Thanks also to Mrs O'Loughlin, Sandy Drew, Reverend Franklin and the multitude of parents who accompanied us to Mt Buller. We would also like to thank the other two senior skiers, Nick Whitworth and Nick Braun, who proved invaluable in their leadership and support. Finally, we would like to wish all skiers the best of luck in future years. TOM BETTS AND JANE MCMILLAN Skiing Co-captains

Netball 1st VII
This season saw many changes in the 1st team. The new coach, Ms. Edwina Davis, introduced us to some new techniques whilst still keeping us in line with the old. It has been an adventure to be her first team this year. Moreover, along with our new coach came many new girls. Our three Year 10 babies of the team were taken under the older girls' wings both with protection and admiration. Our hero, Tina Reilly, was certainly an inspiration to us all through her unwavering play. Veronica Milsom certainly held the defence together, and even under extreme pressure and sometimes questionable umpiring, never lost her temper. Charlotte O'Loughlin was irreplaceable in the goal circle although she had always played in defence. We watched quite a number of shooters come and go this season, yet all were brilliant. The unbreakable Renae Butterworth never gave up despite constantly falling over. The other two Year 11 shooters, Alice Wettenhall and Katrina Dennis were valuable members of the team who always made it fun with their antics. Amy Young and Jane McMillan did a fantastic job in the wing despite their petite size. Jane and Amy were the two who fought until the end no matter what the score or the possibility of winning. All the girls admired their sportsmanship. Finally our defence girls. Sarah Roache and her long arms never ceased to amaze us. Goal defence, Brydie Meek, gained the respect of all who she played through her fairness and 100% effort. And Olivia Tough, definitely our most spirited one, was always a valuable member who gave unwavering support as Vice-Captain to our whole team. Although you could say that the girls this year did not have a very successful season, to us it was quite the opposite. After having a lot of fun, making many new friends and successfully breaking in a new coach, this season to us was extremely successful. It is the memories of the girls and the stories that will remain with us to look back on in the future, not the number of wins or losses, that says this was a great season. JORDANA CLARK-Captain .
2nd VII
The 2nd VII netball team of 2000 proved to be a strong side against tough competition. Although we did not finish the season undefeated, our enthusiasm and consistent efforts made the season a very successful one. Many girls were fortunate enough to play in the 1st VII team, which altered our team constantly. The varying defenders were outstanding always keeping the opposition under intense pressure. Brydie Meek, Sarah Roache, Julia Torpey and Georgie Dawson adapted well to the ever-changing team. The goal shooters improved considerably with Lucy Forbes and Jane McMillan in the first half of the season and the additional talent of Alice Wettenhall and Katrina Dennis finishing the season strongly. The centre court players, Claire Wood and Jane Hayden were reliable and enthusiastic. Thanks must go to Fiona Fletcher, the team coach, for making the season enjoyable and beneficial for all.
Inter As
The year 2000 team consisted of: Lisa Gray, Philippa Hayden, Sophie Whittakers, Amanda Cordner, Hayley Johnston, Phoebe Stanley, Abby George, Tessa Fitzpatrick, Carra Jilich. The APS Inter A team had an outstanding netball season in 2000. With coaching legend Mrs Margaret O'Loughlin at our helm, players improved immensely, not only in terms of their skills, but also in their teamwork. Inspired by Mrs O's insightful mentoring, we stormed through the season unimpeded all that is for one game against Assumption College. We had heard the legend of their unbeatable footy team and looked upon the game as our challenge for the year. Though it was early in the season and we were lacking in experience, we managed to hold them to within a two goal margin the entire match. We were however, unable to seize the day, and they just managed to slip away at the end of the last quarter. I We soon put that game behind us to get on with the season, and with a strongly bonded belief in each other, success flowed our way in all our other matches. We were also lucky enough to compete in the Victorian Schoolgirls' Netball Competition at Royal Park. There we hoped to again play Assumption so we could turn the tables and regain our status, but fate did not award us that chance. Nevertheless we had a great day, and appreciated the experience. It's been a wonderful season of netball. Special congratulations must go to all the babies of the team who stepped up from Year 9, together with a big thanks to Mrs 0 for doing such a wonderful coaching job and teaching us lessons that we won't forget.

Inter B
The Intermediate B team, also known as the 'Aqua Girls', had a fantastic season to start the new millennium. We played like Olympians - some games saw us easily beat the opposition, whilst others tested our grit and stamina winning only by a small margin. Early in the season, we had a number of team changes, along with injuries sidelining a few unfortunate players. Our great competitive form saw us remain undefeated for the entire season. The 'Aqua Girls' came out on top as the undefeated team in the Intermediate B APS section. I think we had great team spirit both on and off court. The constant effort and the team's determination to do well really paid off. The team consisting of Katherine Anderson, Sally Kemp, Annabelle Crawford, Philippa Williams, Felicity Anderson, Laura Myer, Lucy Simms and Pip Waayers would like to thank our coach Mrs Smith for an enjoyable and successful season. Also thanks must go to Mrs O'Loughlin for the many training sessions and assistance throughout the year. PIP W\AYERS - Captain
1st IX
Our 19999-2000 season proved to be very pleasing and most enjoyable for all involved. We gained much success this season, winning matches against Carey Grammar, Wesley Waverley, and Geelong Grammar. Our most convincing wins were over Geelong Grammar where, on the two occasions we played them, we won 28-3 and 34-8. Unfortunately, we were unable to defeat the highly skilled Caulfield Grammar and Wesley Prahran sides. They managed to defeat us each time we played them. However, we managed to improve immensely between these games, and continued to close the margin of runs. Our team enjoyed competing against teams of such a high standard, as it brought out the best of our team's abilities, and we were able to learn a great deal from these more experienced players. Overall, we finished a dazzling 3rd on the ladder, which is quite commendable even though it was only from four teams. Nicole Paisley's pitching was of a high standard and combined well with Olivia Tough, our catcher who improved more and more with each game. Together the two became an instrumental part of our team, and were well supported by our star infielders, Alison Clyne, Penny Carah, Meg Torpey and Jordana Clark. Our reliable outfield consisted of Mel Biddle, Fiona Sykes and Jayne Lamb. Jenny Selvidge and Alex Cherry also made appearances with the lsts and performed well. All players managed to improve and excel throughout the season in one way or another.
KARDINIA PARK
The year 2000 saw eleven netball teams entered at Kardinia Park in the Senior competition. Once again, Geelong College teams dominated the courts, often playing each other within the different grades. Six teams made it into the finals season, with only two making it to the Grand Final. Congratulations to Rhiannon Bourke's Year 9 "Black" team and Lucy Mills's Year 10 "Purple" team; both teams won their Grand Final game in tremendous fashion. College Purple won their nailbighter by only one goal, whilst College Black won convincingly. Congratulations must also go to Stephanie Guyett who won the Best and Fairest trophy for the Bl grade and Leah Oxley and Jennifer Reeve, who won Runner Up Best and Fairest for their grades. Thanks must go to all coaches for their efforts and endless support over the long Kardinia Park season, and to Mrs Fulton and Mrs Foley who helped coordinate the teams. Thanks must also go to Lois Colwell, convenor of the Kardinia Park season, for her tireless efforts. P. PORTER - Teacher-in-Charge of Netball.
Softball
Many thanks to my delightful Co-Vice-Captains Alison Clyne and Jordana Clark, for all their help and advice throughout the season. Finally a very special thanks to our coaches Mr Harris and Fiona Smith, as most, if not all our success this season was due to their constant support and dedication to softball.
Although the Year 12 members of the team will be leaving moving on, there are many talented developing softball players moving up through the school, which will no doubt ensure the success of girls' softball at the College for many years to come. BREANNEJACKSON- Captain

1st XI
The season 1999/2000 was packed full of success, failure, excitement and some inspirational individual efforts. As an unexperienced team we felt reasonably happy at the end of the season with four wins and six losses. After displaying promising form through the beginning of the season, we were confident of being a competitive unit in the season ahead. Unfortunately, due to a lapse in concentration by key players at crucial stages of some matches, this wasn't the case for the 1st XL The season captured many memorable moments, the highlight being none other than Reid Merriman's chanceless century, which was the first in 7 seasons by a College 1st player; Charles Fairbairn's big wicket hauls were always a highlight and Teddy Fitzgerald with his inspirational spells with the ball and entertaining innings with the bat. I would like to thank Reid Merriman and James Laidlaw for their outstanding leadership skills and contributions throughout the season, as well as the rest of the boys. I can happily say that the future of College cricket looks very bright with the number of young players in this year's side. Their experience at 1st level should stand them in good stead for the seasons to come. On behalf of all College cricketers, especially the 1st XI, I would like to thank the coach, Mr Gilby, the Teacher-in-Charge, for his dedication and commitment. Without him, the season would not have been as enjoyable for all of those involved. SANDY WATERS - Captain of Cricket
2nd XI
The 2nd XI, had a mixed season with some fine performances from a wide range of players over the season. There were some strong and committed performances, despite some disappointing outcomes. Richie Butler, Mark Macgugan, Sam Chisholm and Jack Eastman produced some good batting and lyson Curypko, Paul Mahoney and Mark Macgugan were always effective with the ball. The 1999-2000 team consisted of Matthew Grant (Captain), Tom Betts, Ian Millis, Jamie Bell, Ben Doyle, Richie Butler, Mark Macgugan, Paul Mahoney, tyson Curypko, Sam Chisholm, Nial McPadden, Jack Eastman, Mat Shiels. GREG HANSON - Coach The team would like to thank Greg Hanson whose excellent coaching and emphasis on sportsmanship helped improve the standard of our cricket and added to the enjoyment of our season.
3rd XI
The 3rd XI of the 1999-2000 season enjoyed a mixed season with some good performances with the bat from Vangeli Babiolakis, Dale Cochrane and Dean Elliott, on whom the team relied to build a decent total. Mat Shiels, Ben Doyle, Julian O'Dowd, Will Hurst and Dale Cochrane mesmerised the opposition with some patches of extremely good bowling.
Sandy Waters, 1st XI
There were some strong and committed performances despite some disappointing outcomes. The team was successful in a small quota of their games with the best performance of the year against our cross town rivals Geelong Grammar where Dale Cochrane made 61 and took 4/11 and Ben Doyle took 4/8. Grammar were cheaply dismissed for a paltry 39 whilst College made a solid 140. The 3rd cricket team was chosen from: Dean Elliott, Dale Cochrane, Ashley Freind, Mat Shiels, Will Hurst, Ben Doyle, Vangeli Babiolakis, Julian O'Dowd, Ben Cummins, Daniel Hoevenaars, 9B James Meek, Tom Betts, Armand Setiawan, Aiden Rippon and Aaron Perry.. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr Thomas for his dedicated service throughout the season; it was greatly appreciated by all members of the team. BEN DOYLE - Captain
Lachlan Crawford, 9A
When they struggled, the team struggled, such was their influence. Dan Curtis with knocks of 34,41 and 51 provided solid support. Special praise goes to Richard Herd who uncomplainingly faced the best bowlers with the new ball each match. A special highlight was Rohan Kux's April Fool's Day performance when he smashed 58 effortless runs, snared 3 blinding catches and took a wicket. The Kux legend continues. Dan Curtis (26 wickets) and Tom Pasco (24) were our main strike bowlers. Sam Cummins (14) and Josh Comer (11) assisted them. Mark McDonald returned 4 for 25 against Brighton with a superb stint of swing bowling on an uneven Mackie oval pitch to basically win the match single-handedly The 10 As consisted of Richard Herd, Mark McDonald, Daniel Curtis, Tom Pasco, Stuart Hall, Sam Cummins, James Friend, David Gilbert-Kent, Nick Black, Sam Watson, Josh Comer and Rohan Kux. I would like to thank Mr Terry for his encouragement, support, and guidance throughout the year. He spent literally every minute of every match out in the centre and his dedication is to be applauded. He had some very interesting situations to deal with including a "handle the ball" incident against Brighton and a College catch off a "no ball" (bouncer) against Scotch when the match was literally in the balance. SAM CUMMINS - Captain
9AS
10 AS
The Year 10A cricket team experienced a frustrating, character building year. The team promised much; sometimes we delivered, but for the most part we failed to capitalize on the opportunities we created. Therefore, we failed to win the close matches. Often we played ourselves into a winning position with either the bat or the ball, only to seemingly self-destruct and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Nevertheless, we always tried our hardest. We won only 3 of 11 matches, however, 7 and 5 runs lost 2 others (against St Kevins' and Scotch respectively). In almost all the other matches, we were extremely competitive with our opposition. Throughout the season there were some superb batting performances from Tom Pasco (278 runs - highest score 93) and Josh Comer (261 runs - highest score 63). When these players fired with the bat the rest of the team exuded confidence and played well.
The season 1999/2000 for the 9As was not the most successful season but there were many fine individual contributions and great team efforts. After losing our first three games in Term 4 of Year 8, things were not looking too good, but after the holidays we turned it around. Our first match for Year 9 resulted in a great win over Carey. A strong batting performance and a good effort with the ball set it up. Our next match against Melbourne Grammar was also a success. Good tight bowling and excellent batting demolished the opposition! However, our form took a downward turn in the middle and later part of the season, with the team winning only two of the last six matches. Stand out performers were Zane Elliott (5 for 5 against Melbourne Grammar), Sam Clark (scoring a century and two fifties for the season), Mark Rogerson and Andrew Nunn. The whole team gave their best efforts and had heaps of fun throughout the season. The 9As team consisted of Sam Clark (Co-Captain), Lachlan Crawford (Co-Captain) Andrew Nunn (Vice Captain), Steven Oliver, Mark Rogerson, David Paton, Peter Dennis, Ben Wolfenden, Jo McCarty, Zane Elliott, Jack Bell, Harry Eastman, Michael Dijkstra, Matt Kibbis and James Mewing. I would like to thank our coach Mr Claringbold for all his encouragement and enthusiasm throughout the cricket season. I would also like to thank Mr Oliver who coached us when Mr. Claringbold was unavailable. Thank you also to all the parents who came to the matches and gave us their support.

This was only the second season that the boys' basketball teams had been involved in the APS competition. The standard of the competition is very high and we really do need to field our best team to be competitive. Unfortunately we lost one of our two centres, James Milsom, with a season-ending injury before the season had really begun. This coupled with long-term injuries to both of our Co-Captains, Charles Hunter and Tim Nail, meant that we endured a 'character building' season. The nucleus of those who remained were: Cam Galbraith, who did well considering the size of the opposition he was consistently pitted against, James Cox, who was our most determined player when he was able to get up in time to play and three Year lis who improved greatly throughout the year; Jono Friend, Michael Golding and Oscar 'Buzz' Stanley Our thanks go to Paul Mahoney and Tim Ballan who came up to help out when we were short. They both played extremely well. The team would also like to acknowledge the time and effort put in by head coach, Alan McKee. Thanks also to Mr Wood and the Basketball Parents' Support group for their organisation and support. While our squad numbers were low and wins few and far between, I believe that boys' basketball within the College continues to gather strength. The improvement in coaching standards at all levels is starting to develop groups of players coming into senior squads with a sound understanding of the fundamentals of the game. If these players are prepared to do the work required we will be well on the road to becoming consistently competitive in the years to come. As for this year, it is perhaps best remembered as the year in which that journey started (with small steps). CHARLES HUNTER - Co-Captain
Boys' 2nds
It was a long, hard but fun season for the 2nd team this year. It was a very successful season for the team, but you could not tell this from glancing at the ladder and finding us on the bottom. To be able to see our success you would have to have come to the first and the last game. Let me explain; at the beginning of the season, we were a team of good players but at the end of the season, we were a good team of players. This change can only be attributed to the many, many tiring after-school training sessions and the pitch black morning sessions. Training with and watching the lsts play was of considerable assistance to most of us who did not have a long history in the game coming into this season. But the biggest factor in the team's success was our dedication. Although there was the occasional absentee, overall the turn out and effort at games and training was 'superhuman'! The team included Brad Giblin, our self-designated shooter; Tom Butters adding a feisty and colourful image to the team; Paul Mahoney whose determination allowed him to rule the boards against bigger opposition; Austin Hall, who represented the speed and agility components of our team; Ryan Albrecht, a late but welcome addition; Rob Crittenden who added some badly needed size when he was able to play, Armand Setiawan, who helped out when we were short and myself. Last but NOT least were Alan McKee and Mr Wood, our coaches who added structure, organisation and decibels. On behalf of the team I'd like to thank whoever organised for us to be in the APS as it is a great competition, our coaches and most of all the parents who taxied people around at all hours and to all corners of the earth.

Mr A McKee
The boys' 3rd basketball team has exceeded its expectations this year by actually winning some games, and more incredibly, winning the Grand Final. The team struggled for form at the beginning of the season as players were interchanged between the 3rds and 4ths. Finally a team was finalised and it consisted of Jeremy Loomes, Charles Hunter, Thomas Kaye, Brad Giblin, Tim Hodgson and David Libby. Despite the frequent inability of team members to attend training, we were able to reach the Grand Final with considerable ease. This was thanks to the coaching genius known as Craig O'Brien. Jeremy Loomes proved to be the bane of our opponents as he consistently played unstoppable defence inside. He was awarded 'Most Valuable Player' for the season. It was an exciting season, with everyone pitching in and doing his best every game. I would like to thank my teammates for their marvellous performances as well as all those who turned up at our games to offer support. It was most appreciated. CHARLES HUNTER AND JEREMY LOOMES. - Co- Captains
Year 10A and 10B teams
While both the 10A and 10B basketball teams had limited success in terms of the number of games they won due to injury problems, we had a very good season in terms of the students' commitment to training and co-operation. Coach Dan Richie had James Friend, James Hassett and Josh Comer taking responsibility for handling the ball for the 10A side for the entire of the season. Big men David Cleminson and Robert Clyne worked hard on the boards, and Liam Hunt and Tom Chapman played various roles and proved invaluable in what they did. Lachie Irving came in handy with his outside shooting. Though he was late starting the season due to injury, Tim Ballan played with great energy and commitment making a significant contribution. Some of these boys will step comfortably into the 1st and 2nd V next year. Coached by Mr Gallus, the 10B side was comprised of Joe Ashton, Drew Robertson, Tim Hobday, Ben O'Brien, Sam Reid, Ward Sims, Al Booth, Will Liu and Al Rose. What they lacked in height, they certainly made up for in effort, and the season saw them make considerable improvement in both skill areas and team play. ROBERT CLYNE
Girls' 1st V
The 1st V girls' basketball team approached the 2000 season with a sense of anticipation, knowing how strong some of the opposition teams would be. Under the guidance of Mr Noel Bamsey and 2nds coach, Mr Carroll, we prepared for the season ahead. It did not take long for us to realise that we had a tough road ahead. Despite our best efforts we were outplayed by the bigger Melbourne schools, however, we were able to beat the most important opposition in Geelong Grammar. All members of the team contributed during the season. There was Leanne Ryan, ever eager to defend and intimidate; Sarah Weber, who would surface out of nowhere and outrun the fastest opposition; Peggy Austin, a world class defender, pressuring seemingly capable opponents into fumbling the ball; Claire Simmonds, the only Year 10 in the team, who proved to be an undeniable multi-talented asset and phenomenal ball handler; Kate Seward (Vice Captain), who showed great knowledge of the game and was a helpful coach's assistant and smart player; Penny Carah, fast and agile, not intimidated by girls twice her size with an accurate shot; and Georgie Thomson, deserving winner of the coach's award, strong and impenetrable in defence. Last but definitely not the least there was Kathleen O'Brien, a generally all-round fantastic player, always consistent with her remarkable skills. Kathleen was also selected for the APS. combined team this year - an outstanding achievement. She was rightfully named Most Valuable Player for our team. This, along with me as the tall timber, made up the 2000 winter season team of 1st girls' basketball. Despite our losses, I can honestly say that we never stopped try-
ing, and we all enjoyed the season and showed great improvement throughout the season. I would like to thank our coach, Noel Bamsey who taught us and supported us throughout the season, his dedication to the team always a motivation. To Kate, my Vice Captain and all the players who put so much time and effort into making this an enjoyable and educational season, thank you. In addition, thanks must go to the parents and the Parents' Support Group for their support. To all future players, good luck for next year! KIMBERLEYOXLEY -Captain.
Girls' 2nd V
This year's team failed to win a single game, but did not let this dishearten us. We may have lost all our games, we may have only had a maximum score in the mid twenties and we may have been laughed at by other schools because we pulled our socks up, but we still fought hard to the end. The team was not disgraced due to the skills that individuals possessed: Hayley Sims with her fabulous footwork, Brook Pullin with dazzling defense, Ajeng Pitaloka with her will to fight, Mel Sullivan with amazing drives, Jess Boyd with unbelievable 3 pointers, Sarah Patterson with style, Ange Balaratnam with just everything, Caitlin Strumpel with hand shakes, Stef Driscoll with her spirit, Jacqui Read with her ability to knock people over, Ro Montesalvo keeping everybody guessing, Anna Morgan without a total clue and Stace Lancaster with respiratory problems.

Like the 1999 girls' basketball season, the 2000 season was again a learning experience for the whole team. The best part about it was that we ended up having enough for two teams, so that as well as our APS team we also had a team playing at the "Sport For All" centre in South Geelong. Despite beginning the season with only a couple of girls who knew the rules of basketball, towards the end of the year we

However the opening of the new College Aquatic Centre (which is second to none) helped the year 2000 mark the return of the boys' swimming team after a 19 year absence. College combined with Geelong Grammar (despite all past rivalries) to become the GEE-
Long boys' swimming team in the APS. The boys, although not winning a meet in the 5 rounds, still showed great talent. The Open boys' freestyle and medley relay team consisting of College students Steven Pettigrove, Robert Crittenden and Nick Braun, were almost unstoppable as they came out victorious at nearly every meeting. The highlight of the season was beating Wesley, the APS champion team, at their home meeting. Alice Hill

managed to have two great wins, highlighting our improvement. Thanks must go to Minnie Seward and Angela Paton. If it were not for them, the team would not have stayed together, literally. Others in our squad included Jess Collins, Rachel Van Laar, Elizabeth Fagg, Saori Hamasaki, Caralee Harding, Hannah Boyd, Jessica Vivian, Stephanie Kumnick, Claire Walker, Leah Trosky, Giselle Campanaro, Suzanne Notini, Emma Montgomery, and Amber Mellett. We would like to thank our coach, Marnie Lyon for her tolerance and patience through the season. It was an up hill battle but we made it together! PHILIPPA FARR -Captain
Joel Bartlett swam exceptionally well on APS finals night, finishing 4th in the Ul6 boys' 50m butterfly. Steven Pettigrove also swam very well gaining 3rd place in the Open boys' 100m backstroke. Throughout the year the College and Geelong Grammar boys had some training sessions together followed by team BBQ's, which proved to be a great success and helped all the boys get to know each other a little better. A small contingent of divers also joined the ranks with Jamie Richards, Christopher Kloester and Andrew Banjanin. All were extremely successful throughout the season, with Christopher Kloester gaining 4th place in the Open boys' Diving. On Saturday 4 March, the College boys' swimming team had its most successful event yet. It was the day of the All Schools' Swimming Carnival held at the Kardinia Pool with over 8 schools being represented. With only 6 boys represented from the Senior School it looked like the odds were against us. However, the dark horse had not been unleashed. All the boys swam superbly with Steven Pettigrove gaining 1st in the freestyle, 1st in the breaststroke, and 1st in the secondary boys' relay. Nick Braun gained 2nd place in the breaststroke, and 1st in the secondary boys' relay. With all the fantastic efforts on the day, the College secondary boys took out first place and snatched the trophy from reigning champions St Joseph's. The primary boys also did well gaining 3rd place overall in the primary division. I would like to thank all the boys who swam this season for their contribution to the team, and I would like to wish the 2001 boys' team the best of luck and success. NICK BRAUN - Captain
APS Girls' Swimming
contingent of Prep. School girls filled in many events,
Swimming in 2000 increased in popularity with the opening of the Recreation Centre. The addition of the boys swimming team certainly added a new perspective to the girls' swimming team. Both squads trained together throughout Term 1 with coach, Adam Beckworth. The early morning training sessions were also well attended and improvements in technique and times were the result. A highlight of the season, was the wonderful performance of both the Prep, boys' and Senior School girls at the Geelong All Schools' Carnival held at Kardinia Park. Our seasoned swimmers, Kathleen O'Brien, Alice Hill, Claire Wood and Julia Torpey swam well throughout the season with Kathleen gaining 1st place in the freestyle, 2nd in the backstroke and 3rd in the butterfly events. She joined Claire, Alice and Julia to place 2nd in the secondary girls' relay. Claire also gained 1st place in the breastroke. Both the Primary and the Secondary teams placed 1st winning the aggregate award at the Carnival. At the APS Combined Sports, the culmination of the season, all girls competed with spirit and enthusiasm against some very strong opposition. The highlight of the night was Stephanie Smith's win in the breastroke after a controversial start. The large
often swimming out of their age groups. Although not in the top placings, many personal best times were recorded. Diving also proved to be popular with coach, Nathan Niewman spurring the girls to regularly achieve high placings in their weekly competitions. At the APS Combined Sports, Grace Byrnes won her event with Stefanie Pegg finishing a creditable 3rd place. Thanks must go to Adam Beckworth, coaching both teams between his own busy training schedule, Nathan Niewman, Ms Palmer, Mrs Mitchell, Mr Conway and Mrs Wylie for their support and enthusiasm. The newly formed Parents' Support Group did a marvellous job supplying refreshments, officiating and lending their expertise to the Carnivals. MRS P PORTER - Teacher-inCharge of Swimming

Athletics GIRLS
The year 2000 proved to be a challenging one for the College Girls' squad. We were faced with the intense training loads of the athletics season, the inevitable injuries and the approaching examinations for the senior athletes. The biggest challenge of all was to win the Challenge Cup for the third year in a row. This year it was not to be, but our girls showed their usual determination and the numbers and spirit of the squad were very impressive. Training began in Term 3 and we were lucky to have fine weather and the opportunity to train regularly at Landy Field. Once again former College athletes Rhiannon Bourke, Adam Beckworth, Haami Williams and Mark Williamson played vital roles as coaches and they were joined this year by former Vice Captains Rebecca O'Loughlin and Julian Quail who travelled from Melbourne to guide the high jumpers during the season. Pip Waayers and Tina Reilly
The weather deserted us at the Victorian Relays Championship, at Doncaster in August, where despite the torrential rain the College teams competed well. The U18 4 x 800m team (Claire Wood, Philippa Hayden, Tessa Fitzpatrick, Clara Davies) won a silver medal and the Ul6 4 x 200m team of Sally Kemp, Alanna Lyon, Sophie Whittakers and Sophie Nelson won gold. A solid group of athletes trained at Landy Field during the three week holidays with Mrs Filling, Adam Beckworth, Mr Harris, Mr Zoch, Mark Williamson and Mr Parkes. A highlight of one session was to pause from training to listen to College athlete Georgie Clarke run her heat of the 1500 metres at the Sydney Olympics and qualify for the semi finals. The Term 4 practice meetings were held in Melbourne and this year members of the final team were presented with "Pegasus" singlet badges to recognise their selection at a pizza night provided by the Athletics Parents' Support Group. At the traditional Athletics Squad Breakfast on the day before the APS Sports, 1995 Premiership Captain Katherine Davis spoke about the thrill of that first College win and memories of her final leg in the victorious 4 x 400m relay team. The Combined Sports saw a strong Caulfield team win the Cup, with College slipping to fifth. We were the leading school in the U17 and Ul6 age groups, but we had significant gaps in senior events and we lacked depth in our junior age groups despite the determined efforts of our girls. In the Open age group sprinters Alex McLeod, Alanna Lyon and Sophie Whittakers competed well and Renae Butterworth, Claire Wood and Tessa Fitzpatrick ran strongly in the distance events. Vice Captain Marie Sinclair finished her career with good performances in the triple jump and her leg of the 4 x 400 relay. Ul6 athlete Sally Kemp came second in the Open hurdles, a result reflecting her application and improvement in this event. The highlights of the U17 events were the wins of Brydie Meek (shot put), Tina Reilly (triple jump), Clara Davies (800m) and the 4 x 100m relay team (Tina Reilly, Pip Waayers, Kate Wiffen and Alex McLeod). Ul6 athlete Leah McKenzie ran a fine 200m to achieve second place and Sophie Whittakers also competed above her age group to gain third place in the high jump. Georgie Thomson's per-
Co-Captain Rebecca Herd
sonal best in the shot put meant that College also won the teams event.
Virginia Hope-Johnstone Co-Captain Sophie Halsall
The Ul6 age group was dominated by Sophie Nelson, who won the 100m, 200m and 400m and anchored the winning and record breaking 4 x 100m team. Sally Kemp's wins in the triple jump and the relay and second in the long jump made great contributions to the team. Alanna Lyon broke the school record in the hurdles and Abby George achieved third place in the high jump. Solid performances came from Annabelle Wettenhall, Philippa Hayden and Charlotte O'Loughlin in middle distance events and Pip Farr and Phoebe Stanley, who were second in the teams' shot put. Preparatory School athletes who finished in the first three places included Stephanie Burton, Sarah Schofield, Leanne Terpenou and Ginny Hope-Johnstone. Many athletes gained valuable experience during the season. Their development and the involvement of more Year 7 and 8 girls will be vital in the progress of College athletics. At the end of the season Athletics Dinner, the award for most improved athlete went to Annabelle Wettenhall and the overall Team Contribution award was won by Sally Kemp. Speech Day trophies were presented to Brydie Meek (shot put) and Tina Reilly (field games). The Athletics Parents' Support Group again provided valuable assistance to the squad in their roles at Landy meetings, the provision of a Saturday morning canteen and barbeque and other social events and this was greatly appreciated. As well as those listed above, we would like to thank our dedicated coaches, Mrs Filling, Mr Young, Mr Hamilton, Mr Zoch, Mr Wamsteker, Mr Torpey, Mr McCallum and especially Mr Roberts and Mr Parkes for their encouragement and organisation. Congratulations to the 2000 squad for this season's efforts and good luck for the future. SOPHIE HALSALL and REBECCA HERD - Co-Captains of Athletics. Sophie Halsall has represented the College with great success for the past six years. She was the best sprinter in the APS in U14 and U15 and holds three school records in sprint relay events. Her wins in both long and triple jump made a significant contribution to Championship winning teams in 1995 and 1998. Despite a battle with injuries in the last two seasons, Sophie provided a fine example in her training and dedication and achieved fourth place in the Open long jump at the APS Sports. Rebecca Herd has been the top College high jumper in her age group for the past five years. She worked hard at her jumping, achieving a second place in 1997 and was part of College winning teams in 1998 and 1999. This season Rebecca finished fifth in the Open high jump and she has played a key role in the squad with her encouragement and support of other athletes. T P PARKES - Teacher-in-Charge of Athletics

BOYS
The College Boys' Squad were determined to improve on their 1999 placing and a good mix of experience and youthful enthusiasm provided the basis for a creditable eighth place at the Combined Sports in October. Six Year 12 athletes played key roles and a strong group of Year 10's made significant contributions to the team. Early season success came at the Victorian Relays Championships where two teams won Gold Medals. The U20 4 x 800m team of Jamie Bell, Michael Mackenzie, Tim Clarke and Richard Jeremiah won convincingly and the Ul6 4 x 200m winners were Ross Dennis, Liam Hunt, Ben Donald and Tim Hope-Johnstone. A strong and positive training group worked well in the five weeks of Term 3 and the holiday break. The younger members of the middle distance group were impressive in their consistency and effort. Injuries to Ross Dennis, Josh Comer and Lachie Lawson in the lead up to the APS Sports weakened the final team, but the efforts of all athletes on APS day showed great determination.. Fourteen personal bests were achieved in individual events. Leading the way was Captain Tim Clarke, who set himself the challenge of three Open middle distance events on the one afternoon. (Richard Jeremiah was absent at the World Junior Championships in Chile.) Tim won two thrilling contests in the

800m and 1500m and completed a courageous third in the 3000m. U17 middle distance runner Michael Mackenzie improved his personal best each week and was second in both the 800m and 1500m. Nick Wightman won the Ul6 1500m and Ben Donald was fifth in the 800m. Preparatory School athlete John-Paul Niccolo showed his potential in the U15 events. Geelong College was the second most successful school in the middle distance events in 2000. Good performances were also seen in the 4 x 400m relays, with Nick Betts, Matt Torney, Michael Mackenzie, Tim Hope-Johnstone, Andrew McLarty and Ben Donald doing well. Our top sprinters were Jamie Bell in the Open 100m, 200m, and 400m and James HopeJohnstone in U17. The U17 and Ul6 sprint relays changed batons well and performed creditably. Our hurdlers were a positive group during the season and were unlucky on the day. Nick Bridges, Matt Torney and Wade Byrnes are to be commended for their commitment. The high jumpers were a successful group with Tim Allen (Open - fourth), Tom Butters (U17 sixth) and David White (Ul6 - fifth) doing well. The best of the horizontal jump performances
Captain Tim Clarke
came from Tim Callan (third in U17 triple jump) and Dean Elliott (sixth in Open long jump). Peter Dennis, Liam Hunt and Greg Butyn showed potential for the future. Joel Hutchinson (Ul6 eighth) was the best of the shotputters and Roshan Khozouei (Open) and Will Dolley (U17) were consistent during the season. Good team contributions came from Shaun Mackenzie, Nick Guyett, Nick Black, Peter David, Tom Brushfield, Zane Elliott, and emergencies Jo McCarty Matt Boehm, Edward Lawler and Oscar Stanley. Preparatory School athletes Alex Boston and Huw Flanagan showed potential for the future. Awards at the Athletics Dinner were made to Nick Wightman (Most Improved) and Michael Mackenzie (Team Contribution). Nick Bridges won the hurdles trophy presented on Speech Day. Our team leaders provided a great example for all athletes and made a significant contribution on APS day. Vice Captain Jamie Bell did very well to make the transition from distance events to sprinting and he has been a key member of the team over the past four years. Captain Tim Clarke was inspiring in his performances. He has shown others the determination and hard work needed to be a top class middle distance athlete. Thanks should go to the Athletics Parents Support Group who provided positive practical and financial help for the squad again this year. A talented and committed coaching panel has guided the boys' team. Thank you to Adam Beckworth, Rebecca O'Loughlin, Julian Quail, Haami Williams, Mark Williamson, Gavin O'Shea, Mrs Filling, Mr Hamilton, Mr Harris, Mr Wamsteker, Mr Young, Mr Zoch, Mr Torpey, Mr McCallum and Mr Roberts for their involvement and support this season.

Olympics for Georgie Clarke
Year 10 student Georgie Clarke became one of Australia's youngest Olympians when she was selected in the track and field team for the Sydney Olympics. Her intensive preparation included competition in Europe, where she was exposed to the physical pressure of senior women's middle distance running. She competed in the 1500m in Sydney, qualifying from the heats to the semi finals, where she finished a creditable 10th in the time of 4 min 10.99 sees. Georgie went on to represent Australia at the World Junior Athletics Championships in Santiago, Chile in October. Here she won a silver medal in the 800m and a bronze medal in the 1500m. Year 12 athlete Richard Jeremiah won the National U20 3000m steeplechase title this year and also went on to represent Australia in Chile in the 2000m steeplechase.

Staff Farewells Carole Hazell
Wise and calm in all manner of situations and circumstances, Carole Hazell, in her role as Deputy Head, kept the students, parents and the staff of the Preparatory School positive and working as a team. Carole's precise organisation never intruded, it just seemed to happen without anyone else worrying. She might be waking at 2.00 or 3-00 in the morning, because she knew of all the upcoming demands on facilities and staff, but no one else was aware of her concern. She serenely put order in place of potential chaos. As Deputy Head, Carole had the particular knack of being able to identify a difficulty before it blew up to be a big problem. In relation to staff problems she had the gift of being able to speak to staff and to leave them in no doubt that their actions had to change, but at the same time she did not leave the person feeling diminished or resentful. Educated at the University of Wales, Carole went on to teach in Wales, New Guinea, Australia and most recently in Indonesia at the Jakarta International School. Her husband John's posting to Indonesia with the Australian Army has enabled Carole to indulge her love of new places, particularly new warm places, and she now resides in Jakarta with John. She has entered the life of Jakarta with typical enthusiasm and energy. Her interests are diverse and so she has elected to be a volunteer with the Heritage Society, the Museum and as well supports the ANZA charities. Her love of animals has led her to take part in a program looking after the orphaned orang-utans at the Jakarta zoo. Carole would describe herself as a facilitator. She is the sort of person who can muster a committee or a team to work on a project and have it so well organised that at the end of the project the members would say 'We have done it ourselves' - indeed the mark of a true leader. Carole had many leadership roles, including the chairing of a project to develop a Prep to Year 12 French curriculum for Australian schools according to the Australian Language Levels Guidelines. She was also Acting Head of the Preparatory school on two occasions while Peter Hughes was on long service leave. Compassion is a charming characteristic of Carole and at all times she strove to address the needs of other people, over and above her own. She would come to school with a book to lend a staff member, a funny cartoon for another and at other times would just make sure that she had sat next to someone whom she knew was going through a tough patch. Her kindness was well known by the students and parents as she worked to make sure they were happy and at ease in the school. There were many phone calls home, sometimes to just check that all was well with a student; at other times to delicately acquaint parents with the full story of a problem that had arisen. Always, she managed these difficult occasions with poise and with grace, acutely aware of how sensitive these issues can be. Finally, Carole is practical person. She doesn't hesitate to roll up her sleeves and get involved in any sort of job. She was always a wonderful asset on camp or an excursion. She was a prominent organising member of the Japanese exchange to Izumiotsu City and was involved in many social service activities such as Meals on Wheels. Her sense of humour carried her though many staff functions, notably 'Making a spectacle' of herself with an outrageous pair of glasses and donning picturesque bonnets during the annu-
al re-run of the Melbourne Cup in the staffroom. Whatever event it was she made it fun and worthwhile without too much fuss believing always 'That life is too short to stuff a tomato'. AMANDA SWANEY
Claire Jones
Claire Jones was destined to take up a career in the classroom, as both her parents were teachers. She grew up in Horsham and joined us to teach History and English in 1996 after teaching experience in country NSW. Claire immediately became fully involved in College life, living as a popular tutor in Mossgiel and coaching netball and rowing. Despite the perils of accidents along the Barwon River (Claire maintained that bikes, megaphones and left handedness did not mix!), she quickly became respected in both her departments for her organisation, dedication and passion for history and literature. The challenges of Year 12 English and Australian History undertaken in the one year followed. Claire's commitment to her students and her professional approach to the demands of the CAT system were notable. As one of the younger members of staff, she was appreciated for her positive and fresh approach to problems. Claire took leave in 2000 to pursue her studies in art history and worked in bookshops and as a volunteer guide at the Museum of Victoria. Perhaps a future career in museum curatorship awaits? We will miss Claire's personality and her significant contributions during her time at College. TIM PARKES

Bernadette Miles
The Music Department will sadly miss Mrs Bernadette Miles in 2001, as she has resigned to continue her studies, begin a family and move to a country area of Victoria. Mrs Miles has been teaching at Geelong College for 8 years as a visiting teacher and has been a very valued member of staff since her full time appointment this year. She is a very accomplished musician and has inspired many students who have respected and enjoyed working with her. As a music staff member, she has been a very friendly, energetic and enthusiastic person, with whom we have all really enjoyed working, and we are all very sorry to lose Bernadette. She will be sorely missed by students and staff alike; however we wish her all the very best in the future in her musical endeavours and in her married life. CARMEL EDWARDS - Acting Head of Music
Jan Mitchell
Mrs Mitchell began teaching at the College in 1990. Since that time, she has earned the title of "Superwoman" many times over. In the early 1990s Jan taught textiles in a small, dirty, dusty mezzanine floor area in the House of Guilds. Despite these less than ideal conditions, Jan taught textiles in the only way she knew, with energy, commitment and passion. She was a team player in an area of the school where few would ever venture. Not only did Jan teach full time in those early years, but she was also a dedicated
Jan Mitchell
Staff Farewells and caring mother for a growing family. In her time at The Geelong College, Jan has been many things from Calvert House tutor to textiles teacher, swimming coach and everything in between. She has always approached her work with good humor and a degree of professionalism that many others admire. Even in her time off, Jan was always looking at the way things could assist her teaching. Jan was an integral part of the Arts team participating in Art Camps and excursions. It is true that if Leigh wanted to see Jan in the holidays he would have to come on the Art trips with us. And so he did, three times to Canberra! In the end, Leigh thought that if you can't beat them you may as well join them and he became part of the Canberra team as our resident medico. In 1994 when Jan moved to the new building, the Textiles department suddenly expanded. Jan now had the space for layout tables and was responsible for reintroducing screen-printing in a big way. The Textiles room soon became an area of enjoyment for both boys and girls. In fact Jan went out of her way to create projects that would interest both males and females. The only thing she ever asked of her students was to give things a go. She instilled confidence and was never one to take a back seat to her teaching. Jan's approach was a hands on one. It was at the coalface where Jan learnt the trade of becoming an excellent teacher. She was always there to assist students, whether they were textile students or not. She also became an expert at the last minute printing of most of the tee shirts for sports trips and special events. Perhaps Jan's greatest impact apart from her teaching has been in association with the school productions. It is true to say that without Jan's creative flair and skill with the needle over the past 11 years hundreds of young actors would have looked pretty plain and ordinary. To her work, Jan has brought skill, creativity, energy, style and above all, good humor. She has had the responsibility of designing and creating costumes for plays such as "Armadeus", "The Pajama Game", "Much Ado About Nothing", "Toad Hall", "The Three Musketeers" and many more. Only Jan (and perhaps Leigh) will ever know the amount of time and effort which has gone into these productions. It is very difficult to describe the degree to which Jan went to in order to do her job in the only way she knew how. She displayed the commitment of a teacher who went far beyond what could have been expected. Never did a production open with a stitch out of place. Jan Mitchell is the ultimate professional teacher who students will remember for a long time. Her contribution as a staff member will go down in the records of the school as one of the most significant contributions of recent times. Along with Webb, Elliott, Egan, Wells and Lancaster we can safely add Jan Mitchell's name as one of the greats who have taught in the Fine and Applied Arts at The Geelong College over the past 140 years. On behalf of the College Community, we wish Jan and her family all the best for the future. PHILIP TAYLOR - Head of Fine Arts
Bernice Murrells
Ask any of the many students who have spent some time in Mrs Murrell's classroom, how they would describe this experience and you will be greeted with such phrases as stimulating and exciting, warm and caring, confidence building, made to feel important and worthwhile or just plain happy. Children are very astute in
their judgement because as a teacher Bernice has been this and much more to the children she has nurtured during her years at College. Her contributions to all areas of the Preparatory School have been many and varied and her commitment of time and energy has been unflagging. In her earlier years in the Secondary part of the Middle School, Bernice became the first Secondary Coordinator and she introduced many sound ideas to this role. Concern for the well being of the students, at this vital stage in their development, later led Bernice, as the Health Coordinator, to establish a relevant Health Program. Many concepts and activities of this program are still taught today. The consummate teacher, always helping children find a way, Bernice also worked with students requiring special help with Mathematics. Her endless patience and encouraging words have no doubt enabled many to face their mathematical problems with added confidence. A skilled sports person, her expertise and interest enabled the softball and netball teams she coached to reach their highest level of ability. Enthusiastic and generous with these skills it was not unusual to observe Bernice not only coaching each individual College student in the finer art of the game, but to also see her coaching the opposition too. As a Primary teacher, Bernice has definitely been the "Claytons" mother in the classroom. Her genuine concern for each individual child, understanding of and caring for the little Year 4 to the fast developing Year 6 student have earned her the respect of her colleagues and the parents of the College alike. She has capably and willingly held the roles of S.O.S.E., Health and English coordinator, working and communicating with fellow Primary teachers to bring innovative and relevant ideas to these areas of the curriculum. All members of the Prep. Staff will miss Bernice immensely. We will miss her warm smile, her genuine interest in each of us and our lives, her sound advice and all those wonderful personal qualities that she possesses. As Bernice and her husband John take up residence in their new home at Indented Heads, we wish them much happiness. Thank you for your many contributions to the life of The Geelong College Preparatory School, Bernice. JEAN HOBBS
Heather Patched
Mrs Heather Patchett joined The Geelong College as a Special Education teacher in 1994. She leaves at the end of this year to join her husband Geoff in Canberra, where he has been stationed as a senior officer in the Australian Air Force and where he and daughter Pippa, a student at ANU, have lived this year. Over the seven years she has been at College, Heather has worked as an English and Mathematics support teacher, as a teacher of Extra English at Years 9 and 10, a Personal Development teacher and a tutor in Coles House. In addition, she has also conducted numerous educational assessments of students who have been referred to her by parents and other members of staff. She has been a key figure in supporting those students who have struggled in one way or another with the demands of secondary schooling. As well as the efficiency and capability with which she performed her duties, Heather will be remembered for her warmth, her generosity of spirit and her unfailing good humour. She not
only demonstrated a very good understanding of the students with whom she worked but also clearly liked them and cared about their progress. Her capacity to empathise with their struggles, and her ability to develop sometimes simple but always practical approaches to helping students deal with the demands of the classroom, has meant that the working lives of many students and staff have been happier and more productive. As Heather and her daughter, Jenny, who finished her studies at the College this year, leave to rejoin Geoff and Pippa, we wish them well and every happiness in the future. MR MICHAEL GALLUS - Head of English
Denis Parker
We all come into contact with people who have a significant impact on our own lives. For those of us who have worked with Denis Parker at the Preparatory School over the last nine years he was such a person. Denis used few words and often mumbled them through his beard but his gentle wisdom was often sought and he was always ready to talk over issues and ideas. Most recognised that he was more intelligent than he would admit. He was an ideas man but also a very practical man and he often turned a notion into a gadget or an icon. The Science Department at the Preparatory is still well served by the gadgets he created. We have battery testers, light sensors, railway crossings, quiz machines, force measurers, and a rich 'tinkering' legacy. Denis was very fortunate to survive his early years as a motorcyclist, yachtsman, hobby farmer and explosives worker. Major falls from his bike and a blow to the head from a sledge hammer were all taken in his stride and regarded as part of life's rich tapestry'. Passing on his knowledge and skills has always been a priority and Denis recognised soon after he came to The Geelong College that many of the current generation had not experienced the technical richness of his own early years. So our curriculum changed. The Tinkers Club was born and the Science and Technology Elective that Ros Palmer and I had begun became much more technical. Lego Logo robotics was introduced and later, the more versatile Intellecta system of interfacing a computer with probes, sensors and machines. Solar Cars commenced, followed by Solar boats and a valuable opportunity was created for students who enjoyed tinkering and could handle a mechanical challenge. The introduction of the laptop computer was recognized as a valuable opportunity to trial a different style of curriculum delivery. Science hit the web and Denis and Tracey Jennings spent many hours planning web pages that would enable our students to access much more information than a teacher could possibly provide. After four years the trial has proved a remarkable success. We miss Denis greatly at the Preparatory, particularly in the Science Department and admire the brave way that he has coped with his illness over the last two years. Despite enormous difficulties, particularly with vision, he has remained positive and always manages to find some odd job that needs doing. In his home the blackwood table settings have been completed, trees planted, the fire-place fixed and the garden is very well organised. Talking with Denis in early December I read through the comments above and asked if there was anything else he would like have included, knowing that he felt very strongly that there was
'unfinished business'. After some reflection he offered this: there were two directions he had wanted his life to take. The first was in his own teaching where he was working on a 5 year plan to optimize the use of the computer in teaching. He wanted to provide a conceptual map which others could use to guide their own curriculum responses. When he had achieved that he planned to take a more radical step. For many years he has felt that a real need exists within primary schools for increased exposure to and experience of technology, not just computers but the traditional skills of woodwork and metal work. The plan involved setting up a mobile facility at a particular school and working for a period on a range of projects before moving on. After a characteristic break to gather his thoughts, Denis confessed that he often felt he had a different world view from others and wondered why that was. We talked about 'paradigm cages' but privately I feel that he is just wiser and smarter than most and has a higher capacity to integrate and act on information. Thank you Denis for the valuable contributions you have made to The Geelong College and be assured that the essence of your work will be continued. STUART McCALLUM

David Patran
David joined the College at the start of this year to teach classes in VCE Information Technology and Year 10 Mathematics. As he had previously worked at the Board of Studies, he brought to this position considerable expertise in the teaching and assessment of Information Technology. Students also appreciated his deep understanding of computer applications and their integration into the curriculum. David was a Tutor in McArthur House and assisted with the coaching and management of tennis and football teams. We wish him well for the future. ROGER SMITH - Joint Head of Senior School
Reverend Rod Scoullar
Rod Scoullar joined the College staff two years ago. I first met him on a staff training program that was being run for teachers of Religious Education. My first impressions of him are the ones that have remained with me throughout his time as the Chaplain at the College. Rod was warm, sincere, humble and intelligent and was able to maintain these qualities in the many tasks he performed as a senior Chaplain. Those of you who took time to discuss issues with Rod would realise that he was able to apply good Christian sense from a knowledgeable background. He was always prepared to listen and contribute in a thorough and well-prepared fashion. I continue to be accosted by students who comment on the gentle manner in which he was able to help them with their day to day tasks. Rod had felt for some time the need to spend a little more time with his IT skills and it might be for this reason that he decided to move away from Chaplaincy. One thing is for sure, Rod will never be able to move from his call to God's service and I am sure he will continue to touch people with his generous soul. Thanks for your time Rod and all the best for the future. DAVID CURNOW

Staff Farewells Max Simmons
Twenty three years ago, the then Principal, now Judge, Gebhardt, appointed Max to our school, and he is now finally going to leave us for retirement. He is one of those wonderful people who is regarded as being "the best", amongst his profession. He is extremely proud, with justifiably good cause, of the standard of care taken and presentation achieved by all his staff in the cleaning area. Max has always led his colleagues by personal example. The highest personal standards, excellent organisation, good humor and support of his colleagues at all times have been critical factors in his success as a leader in his field. Max's influence around the school was profound. Many a Head of Senior School, Head of House and even Principal (times 3) have heard the dreaded words: (Mrs Lethbridge, Mr Curnow, Ms Fulton, Ms Mahoney etc, etc): Could I just have a word with you? There is something I would like to show you! Fortunately, these times were few, but they demonstrate the sense of pride and deep commitment Max has shown for College. Seeing students around the yard and House rooms at all hours amiably chatting with Max demonstrates their respect for him and the sense of well being they felt when communicating with Max. Max's concern for the welfare of all that he has met at College has been an essential aspect of his contribution to the life of many, and will be remembered by all. In conclusion Max, on behalf of the many staff and students you have supported and given time to over your 23 years of service at College, we sincerely thank you. May you have a wonderful time in your retirement. RICHARD MORRIS
Amanda Swanny
Amanda Swaney's love of literature, passion for poetry and imaginative teaching ability will have endowed many students with the 'bequest of wings' during her time at The Geelong College. Through her passion, energy and belief in students' potential, Amanda established a vibrant English department as Co-ordinator from 1987-1995. Under her guidance, the students at the Preparatory School have enjoyed a stimulating 'reading culture' where literature is valued, promoted and sensitively taught. A long involvement with language and literature led to Amanda's appointment as President of the Geelong branch of the Australian Reading Association (ARA) from 1990-1993Amanda's skills have been appreciated by the College community in the many editions of Pegasus that have been compiled under her critical eye - for both photographs and text. Many magical College moments have been captured for posterity. Literature seminars, fostering professional development for staff and allowing for interaction with authors and presenters, have been a focus of Amanda's leadership. Exploration of poetry, fantasy, humour in literature and visual literacy provided a stimulating environment for staff and an opportunity to share and learn from each other. Following the Literature Seminar on Visual Literacy, Amanda worked with Gary Crew to write a text for teachers working with junior secondary years. 'Reading and Viewing' explores the illustrated works of Gary Crew and Steven Woolman.
Amanda has published 'Sharing poetry with children' and has also collected Geelong College students' writing over many years. Some of this work is included in the manuscript, 'An A-Z of writing ideas' which will be for teachers to use in the school years 6-9. In 1993, Amanda received an Award for Excellence in Education, sponsored by the Geelong Regional Group of the Australian Council for Education. Amanda's strong sense of community and environmental conservation has been manifested in her contribution to the vision of the Ecology Centre which will place The Geelong College at the forefront of Environmental Education. Already, visible evidence is demonstrated by the planting of 1700 trees on the degraded escarpment. We warmly congratulate Amanda on her appointment to Ruyton as Co-ordinator of Curriculum and Staff Development. We will miss her warm smile, positive encouragement and sense of grace and style.

Michael Whittle
Mike Whittle joined the College staff in 1984 and has been heavily involved in the teaching of Information Technology from that time. He had previously taught for a number of years in Alberta, Canada and had gained experience in computing and the teaching of Computer Science in that country. His first task at The College was to purchase a class set of BBC computers - occupying what is now Room C26 - with a view to establishing a network. By the standards of 2000, the arrangement was very simple - the hard drive had a capacity of 35MB, large by contemporary standards, as was the software that provided the operating system and the word-processing, spreadsheet and database programs. Mike managed to make all this work efficiently and students who progressed through HSC Computer Science, and later VCE Information Technology, benefited enormously from his expertise in this field. By the early 1990's, with the establishment of the Fielding wing and Room CR1, Mike had to deal with what became leading edge (otherwise known as the bleeding edge) of network design, when the BBC computers were replaced with early model 286 PC's. This model of the PC was never designed to be networked and yet he, together with some expert assistance from the industry, managed to make it work well. Students over a number of following years managed to acquaint themselves with WordPerfect, PlanPerfect, DataPerfect and programming using Pascal. By this time, Mike had established himself as the College Systems Manager, a role that he combined with his day to day teaching in Information Technology and General Science. This was a monumental task and one that was undervalued within the school. Aside from computing, Mike was a tennis coach, House tutor (Calvert) and an accomplished tennis player in his own right. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Science and Technology and communicated this knowledge and love of knowledge to General Science students during his 17 years at the College. He has an abiding love of folk-singing and playing the guitar and will no doubt spend much of his retirement pursuing these hobbies. He leaves the school with our best wishes and the particular thanks of those of us within the Science Department. WARREN HARRIS
