Speech Day Address 2006 Dr Pan, Mr Williamson, members of Principal Dr Pauline Turner with'Chairman of Council, Mr Alan Williamson

Council, parents, staff, students and members of The Geelong College community. It is my privilege, in this brief report, to reflect on the progress the College has made over the course of 2006. If there is one word that encapsulates the essence of the Geelong College educational journey for me this year, it is the word Outreach, People often ask me what it actually means. In fact, it is a deceptively simple word that covers, for this particular school, a multiplicity of meanings and connotations. Outreach now occurs - or is set to occur - in three different contexts at College: within chaplaincy, where Mr Curnow carries the responsibility of Outreach coordination; through a range of special Outreach programs being developed in Years 9 and 10 and, from 2007, by way of the environmental and outdoor objectives we plan to implement at the new Otways Outreach campus, When he took up his appointment as Spiritual and Community Outreach Coordinator several years ago, Mr Curnow was given a brief to act both as our spiritual guide and conduit with the further community, building up a range of special links to assist our students to become tolerant and

Parents will see evidence of these developments in the new reporting format, Broadening the choice of subjects has been one of the more explicit objectives of the College Strategic Education Plan, especially in Senior School, I am therefore pleased to report that the relatively recent opportunity to accelerate in the VCE at Year 10 is being taken up by a growing number of students. This year, excluding in Maths, 89 students were enrolled in VCE units 1 and 2 or a VET subject at this level, which represents an increase from 40% to 61% over 2005. The choice of subjects available to VCE students has also been extended to include Psychology and 2007 will see the much anticipated introduction of Dance, initially in Year 9, together with VET Multimedia and VCE Media Studies and Drama. Our Year 12 students continue to perform very well indeed across the full range of VCE disciplines, as evidenced by our strong results generally again last

Speech Day Address 2006 I would like publicly to record my thanks to the College Council for the wealth of opportunity created through the generous recurrent funding they authorize and which helps us to flourish as an educational institution. This substantial investment enables teachers to undertake a full complement of professional learning experiences inside and outside school, and their students to enjoy a rich academic program alongside a comprehensive co-curricular offering. It will, incidentally, be a real test of our capacity and commitment over the next few months of anticipated drought and Stage 4 restrictions to keep alive our many heritage trees, and ensure that our cricketers are able to continue to train and our pool facilities remain open for the many aquatic programs we offer our students and the wider community. My final comments in respect of this year's achievements relate to the sporting prowess of our students, and I note with pride the following highlights for 2006: the girls' 1st VIII victory in the Head of the River, the girls' and boys' senior crews 3rd placing in the national rowing championships and the 1st XVIII's shared premiership win, the first since 1964.

Keith Humble was born in Geelong and, after many years travelling the world as a composer, pianist, conductor and educator, spent his last years composing many of his most important works in Geelong and Queenscliff. Keith died in Geelong and is buried here. Jill saw Geelong as the logical place for the place that she envisioned, She remembered that during the 1970s, Keith had worked with some of the students of The Geelong College during creative classes at the Preparatory School. College students also joined with Keith and the Monash University Choir to present a contemporary music concert for the Geelong Musical Society, With the appointment of Dr Pauline Turner, Jill observed the College's growing commitment to the arts and the rapidly expanding musical program that was being offered, and she started to consider a possible collaboration with the College to realise her dream, The opening of The Keith Humble Centre for Music and the Performing

While some of our traditional 'cornerstones' fell, we managed to support and improve others. McLean 2006 was the most successful of all the House Music Big groups, and achieved second overall.

Upon joining Mackie House in 2003, an overwhelming feeling of uncertainty raged within me. I am now certain however, that the most enjoyable and fulfilling years of my schooling have in fact, been spent within these double brick walls, Some Mackie Year 12s may have spent the past four years waiting to leave school, but now that the time has come mixed emotions are shared about the thought of effectively leaving 'home' again. Although less than half of the current nineteen Year 12s were here to spend the initial days of Year 9 with us, we have all grown to be part of the House in which we live, irrespective of the time when we joined it, In 2006 it was clear that these feelings are not only shown throughout the Year 12 cohort, but also through the remainder of the House as well, This

Arts Week

This year's Arts Week adopted the popular theme of 'Art and the Beach'. A creative range of artistic options were offered this year from sand sculpture to mural painting, with everyone being given the opportunity to explore their interests during the course of the three day festival. Giant beach balls at Assembly started the week on a high note, with the annual lolly throw also taking place. Whilst there were a number of highlights, perhaps the most memorable was the Textiles Mural, created under the watchful eye of Mrs Gallus and which is now proudly hanging in the foyer of the Austin Gray Centre. Another memorable activity was the Painting workshop which allowed many students and staff to achieve a lasting work of art with a nautical theme. Thanks once again to all Austin Gray staff for their enthusiasm and to the students who support the celebration of the Arts during this important festival.

Book Week

Bugsy Malone 'Bugsy Malone'

was a wonderful

choice for our 2006 Musical as it combined dancing, singing, acting with a fabulous sense of fun and humour. Over 120 students created a night of magnificent mayhem. The stage craft elements of costume and set enhanced the richness of the story and ensured a design feast for the eyes. This was only surpassed by the fine ensemble work of the cast. A wonderful variety of characters explored the themes of love, greed, power and friendship, whilst tapping across the floor, breaking into song and indulging in a massive splurge gun cream pie fight. Combining the different areas of the Performing and Fine Arts departments is always exciting, challenging and rewarding. The students create and perform surrounded by musicians, designers and theatre practitioners who love what they do and achieve an enormous amount of pleasure watching the students develop, grow and take ownership of their productions, The students are remarkable and consistently amaze me with their passion and talent. There were many standout individual contributions, but overwhelmingly the collaborative efforts and work were what made 'Bugsy Malone' the delightful experience it was to work on. We should always remember the catch phrase of the show, which soon became the ethos of the piece:'... if you give a little love then it all comes back to you....' Ms D Hynes

To complete the experience, it was our great privilege to return the kind hospitality of our Thai friends when a group of 14 students and two teachers visited us in October. The famous Thai smiles abounded and rescued us from all kinds of situations. It all starts again in two years time and all of us who were part of this program would recommend it as an opportunity to go beyond the tourist experience, to live life with the Thai people and understand their culture and thinking, and to consider some of the environmental and cultural challenges which they face.

V i s i t from our Thai Sister school It was our great privilege to return the kind hospitality of our Thai friends when a group of 14 students and two teachers visited us in October. The students and staff were billeted by our staff and students and their kind hospitality was able to be returned. Students were able to take part in the life of the College and in particular, the staff of the Fine and Applied Arts departments are congratulated for their time and effort in making our visitors very welcome. With Mr Hibbard at the helm, the students and their staff were able to visit the Geelong area and the beauty of the Great Ocean Road. We look forward to both visiting Thailand, and their visit to us, in the future.

There were at least 5 of us at every meet and sometimes up to 10 or even 11, considerably smaller compared to the swimming super powers of Haileybury or Scotch who think nothing of sending a bus of athletes and a bus of spectators. But what we lacked in quantity we made up in quality with every member of the squad doing their best.

Congratulations must go to Naomi Bailey, Lydia Kim and all the divers who did such an awesome job in coming second and, in particular to Naomi who doubled up and did a mighty fine job swimming as well. Swimming at the Geelong College seems set to continue on its positive trend as talented students from the Prep school continue to swim excellently and as senior school students continue to dominate in the pool. As this continues I'm sure that the APS swimming trophy will be in the hot little hands of the Geelong College girls swimming team very, very soon. Monique Hurley Captain

Hockey Boys' 1st Team This was a significant season for the Geelong College Boys 1st Hockey team Led by Graeme Dent, a coach with great tactical understanding of the game, who carefully developed the individual talent, and extracted the best from each player, we were moulded into a team to that was to exert great pressure on even the very best of the APS sides, Rebuilding from 2005 with a number of new recruits from Year 10, we opened successfully against old rivals Geelong Grammar, but with indifferent style and individual play This was tested sorely in the following match when Melbourne Grammar exhibited strong team work and consistent pressure we could not combat. Gaining strength from defeat, and responding with grim determination not to subject ourselves to such a scenario again, we lifted our intensity and team skills sessions at training, Under the tutelage and the challenges offered by Graeme Dent, we knew we could present better outcomes. In the fourth round, against Brighton Grammar, a new era came into being. Playing one of the top APS Hockey teams we commenced with a strong attacking game, playing wide and opening up our opposition. In a match that was to be very competitively contested for the full 80 minutes, every player rose to great personal heights and stepped up to the challenge, Playing to instructions, the teamwork, commitment and passion to win resulted in a positive outcome against one of the best sides we have played, This result was to send shock waves throughout the APS hockey system, and a wake up call that Geelong College was a formidable force. Matches against Haileybury, Caulfield and Wesley College were not to provide positive final score lines, but knowing we were close to success was a great incentive, Our coach showed great faith in each individual, working on their personal strengths and attitude to lift their personal contribution to a team destined for further success. Playing Xavier almost provided that achievement. The score line did not reflect the game and we were as good as them. The Scotch game was a very important game for us and we made it our signature Game. This was to be our Grand Final, the game that meant more to us

than any other. We were determined to win the game and did not enter the field to have an honourable loss. With each side managing another goal the match was tied at 2-2, James Ratcliffe scored from a corner with five minutes to qo to edge us ahead. We held on for a memorable and deserved win, one that will be remembered for some time as we had not defeated Scotch in over 25 years! To play the leading side in our last game of the year in which they have to win to claim the premiership, was a dream match, We commenced

well and held a skilled side for 15 minutes before Carey opened the scoring which was doubled by half -time. Although we felt we could get back into the game, Carey's class stood out. We had several good opportunities and a great save by the Carey keeper denied James Wilson in what would have been a classic goal. To lose 4-0 to probably the best APS side is no disgrace. It was a valiant game and one players, coaches, umpires and spectators warmly acknowledged at the conclusion, Thanks must go to our coach Graeme Dentfor his magnificent development of our personal and team skill throughout this season, His knowledge and vision have been invaluable, We look forward to his ongoing involvement. Many thanks also to the Hockey Parents Support Group who dedicate so much personal time to our after match enjoyment and social opportunities for those supporting us at our home matches. Special thanks to the leadership team David Carman (Captain) and James Ratcliffe and James Wilson (Co - Vice Captains).

Whilst the final score line was important, greater emphasis was placed on team strength and sportsmanship, That said, a few additional on field successes would have been appreciated! After pre-season training, the inevitable lack of a goalie arose as a major issue, Matt Sims stepped up to the task and proved very formidable, with a number of outstanding saves, He was ably supported in defence by Nick Phillips, Will Stewart and Richard Linke who displayed great determination in repelling numerous attacks by very strong opposition from much larger schools. Whilst many of our coach's set plays were put to good effect, it was a little disappointing to achieve only four wins for the season, Our forwards consisting of Lachlan Fraser, David Hill, Jason Lloyd, Tom Rastas and Andrew Taylor provided some great displays of combination play and brilliant goals. Highlights included numerous goals from Andrew Taylor and a winning goal against Carey from Tom Rastas to cap off a great season. We had a great season as a team and thank Scott our coach for his outstanding work with

For the members were distinguished by their exclusiveness and dress. They had natty little hockey sticks that were nice and smooth and sleek For their cultivated owners used them only once a week, They came down the highway in pursuit of sport and fame, For they meant to show the "G Boys" how they ought to play the game. And they took their l-pods with them (they really were such nerds), And they started operation on the College Hockey thirds, You only can imagine how the contest ebbed and flowed, When the College boys got going, it was time to clear the road, And the games were so terrific, that ere half time was gone, A spectator's leg was broken - from merely looking on! Jenkins hit the ball so hard it made a hole clean through Rankin's fence. They waddied one another till the field was strewn with dead, And the game was kept so even, that neither got ahead. Then Jim from G Boys, arose slowly from the ground, Though his wounds were mortal, he fiercely gazed around.

Boys' Year 9 Team What a team! What a year! What a coach! In a season marked by numerous successes and a number other close results; College reaffirmed itself as a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. Guided by our inspiring, enthusiastic and experienced coach, Mr Jason O'Loughlin, we were able to develop strong tactical plays which were put into good effect during matches. Team work was emphasised as a priority and became a key to our success with many players being very adaptable in their positioning and every player giving their all to ensure the teams success. With an excess of team members, which included Sam Baird, Zach Buggy (Goalie) Tom Darley David Goodridge, Edward Jarvis, Nathan Maxwell, Tom Molyneux, Sam Neil, Tom Perkins, Sebastian Phillips, William Russell, Chris Skoglund, Alex Stewart, Tom Summers and Floyd

Westman, it was not always possible to retain players in a permanent position. Whilst this was unsettling to some extent, it also provided an opportunity for many players to experience a different role. Several players were also encouraged to try-out for the senior squad this year. Early signs of what lies ahead! Our thanks to Mr 0, for his great coaching and to all for their dynamic, determined efforts. We look forward to building on our success in 2007. Tom Molyneaux Captain Girls' 1st XI Team This year has produced another successful season for the girl as we only lost to two teams, With a win to cap off the season, the girls achieved an excellent 3rd place in a very competitive competition. We had a hard start to the season, drawing opening

games against the strong and experienced Caulfield and Wesley sides. For the rest of the season, however, the girls remained undefeated and all girls improved tremendously in all areas of their game, When the Redraw came around we were ready to face Caulfield and Wesley again, Unfortunately we went down but both were our best games of hockey and there were a number of moments where the games could have gone either way. Our final game was against Yarra Valley and the girls came away with a 1-0 win to cap of a great season. It was the best way to end the season and the school hockey careers of our nine Year 12 players. Throughout the year our goalie Anna Scaife, along with our two fullbacks Jessie Gubbins and Laura McCartney, kept many teams scoreless, whilst our strikers Alexandra Brown, Harriet Burton, Elyse Green, Megan Hough

and Katherine Landy continually pressured our oppositions' defence. In the midfield Caroline Gough, Emma Jackson, Madison Kerney, Amy Oliver and Brittany Wood displayed excellent ball skills as they controlled our free-flowing playing style. Nothing would have been possible this year without the guidance from our coach Trent Lucas, who has made this year a rewarding and enjoyable one. I would like to thank T.I.C. of Hockey Mr Montgomery for all the work he has put in behind the scenes, and the Hockey Parents Support Group for running the barbeque every Saturday morning. All the girls had a great season and I would like to thank my Vice-Captains Jessie Gubbins and Amy Oliver for all their hard work and the good times we've had over past three years. Sarah Dennis Captain Girls' 2 n d Team The season of 2006 for girls' 2nd hockey squad was a fun and eventful one, resulting in a few losses and some great wins, No matter what the outcome everyone always pulled together as a team and left the field smiling, Our team consisted of a great goalie Angela Smith, beautiful backs Annabelle Paton and Ada Hodgson, courageous cen-

tres Susannah Hewitt and Nessie Croft, incredible inners Sarsha Grinter and Georgia Hunt and our wonderful wings Sophie Chisholm and Brittany Carnell, as well as our happy halves Kirsty Wait and our super-sub for that day, We would all like to thank the girls from Year 9 and 10 who helped to complete our team on many weekends; our coach Lisa, Gillian, Bash and Georgia for helping us out as well, and of course Mr, Montgomery, A sad goodbye and good luck goes out to the gorgeous Year 12's Kirsty, Amelia and Cafe. Thanks to everyone for a season filled with splendor! Girls Intermediate (Year 9) Team This was a team to be feared by all!! In a season that was full of close, hard fought matches and great excitement, we managed almost achieve a 100% success rate, ultimately missing by the narrowest of margins, Coached by Georgia Giblin, we enhanced our already sound skills and put into practice many of the plays we had practised numerous times, to amazing effect! Change of pitch surfaces onto grass at times was frustrating and often left ourselves and our opponents struggling to put our highly honed skills to best effect. However we managed to come out on top with one exception. In

a talented team, every player at times made an outstanding contribution through brilliant individual passages of play, or through their consistent team contribution. The strength of our team can be best seen in the fact we were at times to lose our very best players to more senior teams, These included Nicole Filling, Francesca Henricus, Katherine Holding, and Stephanie Taylor, Our commitment, teamwork and spirit were key factors in our ongoing success in 2006. We look forward to continuing our high standards of play and success in the year head. Many thanks to our coach Georgia Giblin, for her wonderful guidance and encouragement and the support of all parents. Girls Intermediate C Team What a highly successful season 2006 was for this enthusiastic, talented and socially excited group of players! Coached by the very able and patient Gillian Pasque (former Victorian Vipers player) we were able to consistently develop our skills throughout the season, providing even the most determined rivals to a keenly contested result right up until the final whistle, With five wins, two losses and a draw, it was as highly successful season Training was always spirited, with Gillian eager to introduce or further develop

valuable skills and plays, Considering the amount of social gossip that was exchanged, and the antics of some, it was amazing we acquired as much hockey knowledge as we did! No team can score goals without the strength of its defence. It was in this area that we were able to frustrate the attacks of many opponents, and then quickly reverse their plays into attacking moves of our own, With many players providing scoring opportunities, those who did provide the ultimate goals were quick to recognise the successful work of all in achieving that outcome. The individual talent of players such as Holly Bartlett, Harriett Brown, Sarah Morris and Caroline Watson, were critical to the outcomes of many matches. However it was only through the great teamwork from all that our successes occurred, Team members also included Kendall Craig, Phillipa Crowley, Annabel Marendaz, Nicole McLean, Julia O'Brien, Alika Reeve, Charlotte Tobin and Jordan Tomkins. We look forward to further success in 2007. Many thanks to Gillian for her wonderful coaching and patience!

report have coached the girls' squad. A special presentation was made at the Athletics Dinner to Mr Zoch, who completed his tenth and final season of College athletics. He is responsible for the positive attitude and team spirit that is embedded so strongly in the girls' middle distance group. All athletes appreciated the work of the Athletics Parent Support Group led by Carmel Brown, who provided social functions for the squad. Special thanks are due to Mrs Russell, Mr Wade, Mrs Filling and Mr Parkes who put so much time and enthusiasm into the College athletics programme. Athletics is much more than just tight bike shorts, pain, sweat, measuring tapes and stop watches. Through shared experiences at training and on Saturdays, you develop fantastic friendships with fellow athletes and coaches. What I will remember most fondly about College athletics is not personal individual performances or times; rather it is all the fun I have had being part of a team.
