While our history and traditions structure our values; we must also embrace progress and change. Our Strategic Education Plan, developed with expert advice and through a strong consu~ation process, epitomises this attitude. Dr Tumer recognised that traditional teaching practices would not sustain our educational aims in this ever changing/demanding and competitive environment. With the assistance of a tearn of dedicated visionaries and a great dea of planning, a program was formulated that develops teaching and learning practices and provides skills to our students for learning in a way that achieves not only successful VCE resu~s but equips them for success in the years beyond schocl. The Council has supported this development with funding greater resources for our teaching and support staff. Our curriculum goes beyond the classroom.

absolutely no support from our section of the crowd. Members of Mossgiel travelled to the Arts Centre at Scuthbank to experience some cultural diversity of the Australian ballet seeing the performance called 'Destiny"; Mossgiel also ventured to the GPAC in town to see Cabaret, another highlight of the year.

Prefects: Miriam Falloon Matrons: Ms Cara Mallet (Term 1-3), Ms Valerie Dunstone (Term 4) Medical Centre: Sister Margaret Cartledge, Sister Carol Maas To an ordinary bystander what's hidden behind Mossgiel's big brown fence is nothing more than just an ordinary house, but looks can be deceiving. Mossgiel is a strong, diverse community bustling with young independent girls coming from far and wide to board at The Geelong College. Mossgiel has evolved into multi-cultural community, with girls coming from places such as China, the United Arab Emirates, The Solomon Islands, Germany, Malaysia, Papa New Guinea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan and Japan to name a few. Multi-culturalism has been embraced by all the girls who are lucky enough to be enriched with the different customs and cultures of their peers. 2007 was a very exciting and eventful year for all of us. It started with the annual boarders' trip to Lome, a relaxing day of lying on the beach and shopping. However some unfortunate girls, who forgot to apply sunscreen, were left sore and sorry. During the Term 2 holidays, Unit 2 became the envy of all other units, as it was given a face lift to match our newly renovated TV room. The unit was transformed with fresh paint and fumiture including big comfortable bean bags which were a big hit with all the girls. The annual boarders' outing landed us at the Telstra Dome, cheering the AFL Premiers to be, Geelong. The Cats played the Kangaroos, who had

Term 3 came around quickly and so did Unit music. The Unit music trophy, named 'Neville' was being eyed off by all units this year. 'Neville" was contested with hot competitive spirit from all units. Unit 3 kicked off the competition with a falbulous rendition of a classic Boys2men song. Phoebe Hare made a stand out performance with her creative dance moves. Unit 4/5 was unfortunately lacking in numbers but never the less, they were enthusiastic performers with their rendition of the alphabet song. Unit 6 was quietly confident, with the perfected Macarena dance; they were sure winners only to be blown out of the water by Unit 2 with their creative mixture of music, lyrics and costume, winning the judges' affection and the Neville Trophy. It was Milika Nation's 4th win in a row, creating a new Mossgiel record. The annual family day soccer match was held on Rankin field, with the Rurals being drastically out numbered by the Urbans, but after drafting a few Urbans to the Rural side, they became too strong and were victorious 2-1. 2007 regretfully saw the departure of Matron Cara Mallet. On behalf of all Mossgiel girls, I would like to thank Cara for her time and dedication to Mossgiel over the last six years, she will be sorely missed. At the same time I would like to give a warm welcome our new Matron Valerie Dunstone to the boarding house and she has made a very enthusiastic and comfortable start amongst the girls.

lightened the whole house whilst Ms Preece's kind and considerate nature was comforting to all girls especially in times of hardship; Susan always made Friday nights fun and finally Mrs Foley, Head of Mossgiel, could not be appreciated more for all her countless hours around Mossgiel ensuring happiness, safety and wellbeing for all girls. Newly appointed Head of Boarding, Mr Mahon has created an extra layer of support and guidance in the boarding community and must be thanked for his devotion to both boarding Houses I would also like to thank Sister Cartledge and Sister Maas who have been there for every flu, cold and sprained ankle over the last four years and always provided care and compassion on every occasion. A thank you must also go to all the Year 12's and particularly Miriam Falloon, my Vice-Captain, for their support, effort and leadership throughout the year. Finally, it is fitting that Ithank all the girls in Mossgiel for all the fond memories and good times spent over the last four years. After all, it is the girls of Mossgiel who make it the unforgettable place it is. You can take a girl out of Mossgiel. but you will never take Mossgiel out of a girl. The experiences shared at Mossgiel will live on forever and have created and shaped an extraordinary life ahead for all girls. Mossgiel turns young innocent Year 9 girls into mature independent women. Annabelle Paton, Ubby Baulch, Edwina Hawkins and I. as members of Mossgiel for 4 ccnsecutive years, have all experienced this first hand, and we walk out of Mossgiel knowing that we are now mature young women, ready to step out and make our mark on the world. May I wish all my 'sisters' at Mossgiel the very best for the rest of their schooling life, and I hope in the future they live up to all their dreams and aspirations. Thank you for the memories,

The Year 12's cannot leave without thanking the tutors for their support and guidance throughout the year. Mr Ccnway ensured that no maths problem went unsolved; Mrs Jackman's bright and bubbly personality

and tale of the original.

Frankie Mullaly, Ella Simson,

An action-packed performance, 20 principal actors were often joined on stage by an ensemble of sword fighting pirates, wenches, sea sirens. star fish, and octopi. Seven glowing skeletons would seemingly float around the theatre, occasionally causing a scare when an audience member's back was turned, while it was delightful to see a performance from the school's first Year 9 Drama class, who became the Spirit of the Sea in a beautifully choreographed introduction to the tale. Most memorable of all though was the production's dalliance with musical theatre in its homage to Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. Musical Pirate Robert Tripolino joined Maddie Garratt's Ben Gunn for an incomparably romantic rendition of The Elephant Cheese Medley, leaving the audience aghast as the majority of the 90-strong cast returned to the stage to be involved in the production's defining moment.

Year 12 Theatre Studies: Freedom of the City The Year 12 Theatre Studies students developed and presented a very interesting interpretation of Brian Friel's 'Freedom of the City'. Highly stylised and Incorporating multi media, the ensemble cast explored the tragic events of Ireland in the early 1970s. The cast of 'Freedom of the City' are to be commended on their brave and moving portrayals of the many individuals involved. Together they created an amazing ensemble performance: one that certainly left a lasting impression. The symbelic, minimalist design and the transformation of the ensemble characters, coupled With the dynamic and well crafted lead roles. showed the students' clear understanding of production values and allowed the audience to gain a greater insight into the political and SOCial messages Friel wanted to share. The three lead characters are to be congratulated as they undertook their roles With great dedicat;on and conviction. The cast was faced With the harsh reality of a homfic storyline, based on the 1970s 'Bloody Sunday' Dealing With the themes of poverty, politics and InJustice, the audience was given an amazing insight Into the lives, the emotions and the stories behind the characters A fine performance to be remembered' congratulations to all involved.

Year 10 Fulfilling Lives Program In August, a select number of Year 10 students took part in a week of lectures, activities and lessons about a range of subjects, from maintaining general health and fitness, goal setting, nutrition, sports medicine and a range of others. Some of the activities that we completed included water aerobics, yoga, boxing, cycling, water polo and walking. Water aerobics was perhaps a highlight, mainly due to the fact that such an activity would be incredibly challenging and physically exhausting. A water polo session with former Australian Olympian Jo Fox was another enjoyable session, after hearing an engaging talk by her about the desire and effort one has to put in to become an elite sports person. The week wasn't only focused upon fitness based activities; these were only part of the message of ways to live a healthy life. Leonie McNamara, nutritionist and dietician, was a key figure in the aspect of diet and the effects upon our life. Although the majority of participants of this program were competent athletes who competed in a vast array of sports, one would be amazed by the poor nutrition and some of the mistakes we were making in our choices of food. It may be fine for now Leonie thought. but once we stop our high sports lifestyle, our health will suffer accordingly unless we correct our mistakes and bad habits. Daniel O'Connor, Genesis fitness trainer and Geelong College gym instructor, was a main figure of guidance during the week. He led us through a variety of activities, which included fitness tests, stretching and interval running. Our thanks go to all who helped with this week including the guest speakers of Richard Coleman, Dr Hugh Seward, Alec Hamilton, Jo Fox. Also this program would have been nothing without the tireless efforts of Mrs Porter, who managed to organise the whole week in an enjoyable and informative setting. Xavier Hatch Year 10

We competed against schools from the Geelong District and once again we were the very best Geelong had to offer as the Senior Girls came away with the coveted Batten Shield. The 17th of March heralded the APS finals, the most important day on the swimming calendar. 27 dedicated and talented girls were chosen to represent The Geelong College and were terrific ambassadors for the school. This year we were lucky enough to have the competition at Kardinia pool, or our second home, as MSAC was in preparation for the FINA World Championships.

Diving Report

Although the Geelong College team bid farewell to many senior divers at the end of 2006, there was an unexpected rise in younger divers during 2007 filling the team with enthusiasm and new found talent, and laying the foundation of diving teams to come. Though the new team took awhile to settle in, it wasn't long until the team fell into sync, training hard and recording exceptional results throughout the season. The twenty second APS diving competition was held on the 16th of March at Carey Baptist College, commencing with the boys' competition in the morning. The boys' team comprised of both Geelong Grammar and Geelong College boys. In the Under 15 A division Daniel Van de Pol placed 3rd and B diver Matt Golightly placed 7th, Max Amerena placed 8th in the Under 17 B division and Gus Townley placed 10th in Under 16s A division. These boys all dived exceedingly well managing a very respectable 7th place overall. The girls' competition followed in the afternoon. Making a late entrance due to their scenic tour of Melbourne city, the Geelong College girls pulled through with very impressive results. New to diving, and the APS team this year, was Katie Applebe who placed 6th in the Under 14 B division; Carla Fowler 3rd in the Under 16 B division and Lucy Hughes 4th in the Under 15 B division. Old favourites, Under 14 A diver Sophie Faulkner placed 5th, Under 15A Pip Kirby and Under 16A Milly Barton-Thomas both placed 3rd. Ring-ins from rowing, and tennis, we had ex-divers Georgia Ratcliffe and Meg Eddey who both dived into Under 17's placing 2nd and 3rd respectively. Alice Morgan, who dived in the Open division, managed a wonderful 2nd place. Collectively the girls placed a very respectable 3rd overall. As the diving season comes to an end, it is with both joy and sadness that I look back on my 6 years of diving at the College; the laughter, the fun, but most of all the friendships and priceless memories. I just want to say thank you, and to not only the 2007 coaches, Brittney and Damien but the Head of diving, Mrs Ratcliffe, for their perpetual support, great attitude and wise words. To all the divers, you have created such fond memories of my time at College and you have helped shape diving at the College into what it is today and its future. Amelia Hickman, Captain of Diving

Tennis - Girls' 3rd Green Team

The 200617 tennis season for the 3rd Green team was certainly one to be remembered. Every match was met with equal levels of enthusiasm as we, the Year 12s, were greeted with the daunting fact that this would be our last season of summer sport. There were some more memorable weekend results than others but the social aspect of 3rd tennis was unwavering. Injuries, bad weather and mysterious extra lessons did not deter our spirits, and friendships were formed in the time between Geelong and Melbourne bus trips. Thanks must go to Mrs Watson for putting up with us, and enduring an arguably more enjoyable and social sporting season than some of the others. As a result of a great season's work, Genevieve Tyack was given the Coach's Award. The 3rd Green team was comprised of Penny Cordner, Zoe Keogh, Jordan Tomkins, Alice Goodear, Georgie Phillips, Laura McCartney, Nessie Stephanie Guy

Softball Softball - 1st Girls' Team

As softballers, the 1st team this season have lived by the powerful maxim ~ IS a great ability to be able to conceal one's ability. It is therefore with utmost pleasure I can reflect on the experiences had by both myself and fellow pro-softballers-In-disguise. Sarah James has been of Invaluable worth when It comes to all things softball thiS season. Ever the voice of reason and by far the best baker on the team, Sarah has never wavered from her role as Vice Captain The pace of Emily Bull's pitching was matched only by her quick wit this season. Our pitching and catching dynamic developed quick~ as I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of not only every ball pitched by Ms. Bull Susannah Hevvtt and Jess Guerow have once again stepped up to the plate as the players with a great depth of expenence Suis motherly instincts, killer svvng and heed~ enthuSIasm vvll be sorely missed. The level of pain I expenence In my catching hand IS for me a true gauge of the quality of one's throw Over the years, I have enjoyed many aches from the lightning fast pace of Jess' throwing arm While I vvll most certainly miss her skill, my left hand is more than happy to wave you goodbye. Ialso wish Brittney Carnell and Leeshe Wam farewell. No one oould doubt their skills on the diaroond While nine of our core squad of twelve will be leaving thiS season, College Softball IS by no means in a state of disrepair with Nicole Filling and Sarah Morns left to man the dlCll110nd All the girls have been very thankful for the crossover of Nicole's Javelin skills in her role as the outfielder 'most likely to Impale the Opposition.' In her debut year in 1st Softball, Sarah Morris hasn't yet fully grasped our central maxim, as her ability this season has been anything but concealed Desperate trnes more often than not cal for dlesperate measures When you're losing aganst Gramnar, there IS no idea too abstract; there is simply nothilg you won't do, For -.s. we decided In our last Imngs against the baby blue

Softball - 3 rds Girls' Team

Softball - Intermediate B Girls' Team The Inter-B team may have not won a game this season, but they had a winning attitude, Players were never short of spirit. good sportsmanship or teamwork, Georgina Bull was our starting pitcher with Morgan Smith as our relief, Both girls should be commended for their efforts on the mound, and they could not have done It without Nellie Mims, star catcher, Erin Collins' height was a great advantage when she played first base; she made nearly every catch. Our Infield defence was strong when Stephanie McKenzie played short stop, Her rocket arm could throw out even the quickest runners, Monique Sherriff was a great addition to the outfield, and Jemma Guerow's versatility allowed her fill in at any position in both the infield and outfield.

The 3rd girts' softball team had a victorious season this year, winning 8 out of the 10 games. All girls had a great time, and it just so happened that we were good too! We worked hard in training throughout the season to hone the skills we needed to take on our opponents each Saturday, Congratulations to the Year 12 members of the team for a great final season of College Softball: E1anor Kioester, Megan Arthur, Kathleen Rix, Georgina Greig, Clare Rossiter. Miriam Falloon, Jacqueline Smith, Alice Stephenson, and Ona Grossnickle, I'm now delighted to hand the reins over to the talented and eager Year 11 members of the team: Sophie Mclean, Stevie Quirk, Siobhan Adams, Kalena Benjamin, Elizabeth Marendaz, Clare Flynn, AJexandra Cromarty and Milika Nation. Thanks also to our coach. Scott Basket. for the time he put in on Saturdays during the season,

we had plenty of those too, Ella Simson, new to the sport, made a hit by her second game, Stephanie Babiolakis earned two RBis during the season and crossed home plate multiple times, Chloe Cook hit a double during her best game, None of our batters could have done it without Sophie Hayes, She was an asset during training and acted as our practise pitcher, It was a pleasure coaching the Inter-B softball team. Players were never short of spirit, good sportsmanship or teamwork; we wish them all well.

Our Year 10 defensive duo Sophie McCorkell and Annie Middlemiss amazed us all year with their ability to completely shut down often much older and much taller opposition goalers. Our jOint wing defence of Edwina Hawkins and Eliza Curnow were imperative to the team. Our centre court players, Freya Langham, Lauren Ellis and Georgia Scott, were the core of our team and their skill and determination impressed us all season. Finally, Year 11's Ali Cromarty and Jess Chirnside rounded out the goal end; their accuracy and ability to shoot under pressure was outstanding.

Netball _ 3rd Green VII Team For the 3rd Green netball team, our season cannot be measured purely by the number of games won, but more by the amount of fun that we had throughout the season. For most of the girls, it was our last year of College netball, and the emphasis was therefore on enjoyment, so coming away with a couple of convincing wins was an added bonus.
