PEGASUS 1991 From the Head of the Preparatory School When we think about the year 1991 and of events outside our school, one of the things that is sure to strike us is the amount of change that has occurred. There have been some momentous changes among and within nations, including the unprecedented international alliance during the Gulf War, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and recently, real progress towards peace between Israel and the Arab nations. Change is always with us, whether we are conscious of it or not. Within the school, major curriculum developments have been quietly occurring. In the teaching of mathematics, for example, our courses are requiring students increasingly to apply their mathematical skills to solve real problems. (The introduction of extended work tasks at Years 7 and 8 is part of this development.) We are also extending the use of computer technology within the general curriculum, and in 1992, Computer Studies at Year 8 level will be fully integrated with our English, Mathematics, Science and Social Science curricula. Other gradual developments are occurring in other curricular areas at all levels of the Preparatory School. But of all the changes we can notice in a school, the changes in the children stand out most emphatically. We see physical changes as children grow in stature, in dexterity, in strength and in stamina. We see academic and artistic skills and abilities flower as mastery is achieved in a host of developmental tasks. One of the great delights for those who work with young people is to observe the growth of children's personalities; the development of social skills and confidence and the development of personal values and mature patterns of behaviour. Life is an exciting adventure. Our Pegasus magazine for 1991 highlights some of the milestones we have passed this year. I hope that it contains happy memories for you and that it will act as a reference point for measuring the developments in your own skills and abilities as you grow and change. P. J. Hughes

Last Monday we had lunch with the Grammar Preps. The lunch was delicious, I enjoyed it very much. On Tuesday we went to Roxby Farm. First we had a look around and then we rode a four wheel motorbike. Then we rode a horse. It was brown. We all hopped into a truck with a trailer of oats. We drove a little bit then Mr Linderman pushed a pole and the lambs ate. We went back and hopped into the horse truck and drove to the shearing shed. Mr Linderman showed us how to shear a sheep. We hopped onto the horse truck and drove to the river. We had a Mintie hunt in the rain. On the Friday we went to Deakin University and we learnt about our bodies. On Monday Katie's horse and Wendy's horse came to see us. Katie and Wendy are Mounted Policewomen. We fed the horses apples and carrots. Mrs Morris and Heather put wooden seats on the oval for the horses to jump. We went to the Baby Health Centre. We got weighed and measured. Mrs O'Donnell gave us cordial and biscuits. Yesterday we went to see Doctor Abery. He showed us lots of things and then he put a plaster on Natalie's arm. We listened to our heart and Dr Abery looked at a baby. On Friday we went to Senior School. Genevieve came in casual clothes so she wore my uniform and I wore Fiona's. First we went to the Chapel to see Reverend Parton. I saw some pictures on the seats, one was from Sophie Betts and her family. We went up the stairs. I was in front of a light. It was big. It was very high up. We saw Mackie Boarding House. We saw the Foundation. We climbed the tower and we kept looking for the dragon. We wrote our names on the bricks. Then we went to the Dining Room and saw the portraits of the old bosses. We saw a big cooking pot and then we had play lunch with Mr Sheahan in the Dining Room. Genevieve, Hamish and I went with two Year 12 girls. They both read a book and took a photo. Then we went to the computer room with the rest of the class. Next we went to the gym and saw the boys playing with the basketballs. We went to the Newtown Library. We went in and had a little talk about the library. Then we started to borrow books. There were Noddy books, Mr Men books, information books and lots of other books. After we had borrowed our two books we told the lady our name and saw if our name came up on the computer. Then we said goodbye and went back to school. Yesterday the Preps went to see Georgia's daddy. He is a printer. First we got into two groups. We saw machines like a book making machine and a paper cutting machine. On Wednesday 4th of September Constable Ben came to school with his police car. We turned on the lights and he took us for a ride up to Middle School. We listened to the men on the radio and turned on the siren. On September 6th Peta Harten came to see us at school. She works at the Blood Bank. She took some blood from Mrs Morris, Heather and Mrs Fairbairn. We saw the blood and then Peta threw them out into a special container. Next we went to Ruthven Street kindergarten. The lady was called Sue. She was nice, very nice indeed. We could play inside or outside. We listened to a story and sang some songs and then went home. Just before the holidays we went to Hamish's farm to plant trees. Hamish's dad propogates the trees for their farm. We got in a red trailer and went up a big hill. The sheep chased us and one looked like a lion. We went to see Fleur, she is a dentist. We had a ride on the dentist chair. There was a light mirror which was tiny and a machine to dry teeth. We went to the fire station. We saw three trucks. We squirted Mrs Morris. We still have to visit the vet, the hospital and K Rock FM. Wherever we went we had a great time and we learnt a lot of interesting things. Claire Fairbairn

Preparatory Year

Year 1 On Peace Day everyone is quiet and all of the Japanese people fold paper cranes and put them down beside Sadako's statue. Lots of people died on that day. Georgina Clarke We went to a farm and it was called Wambidgee Farm. We had playlunch and then watched Ring the sheepdog and after that we milked the cow. I saw Ring having a rest in his kennel. Thelma and David were the owners of the farm. At the end we fed the hens. In the middle we had a hay ride. Jarrod Campbell

Roll the clay in to a ball.

And get some matchsticks and put the matchsticks in the ball.

Then get a long matchstick and put the long matchstick in.

Then put another clay ball in.

Wade Byrnes

HAPPINESS Happiness is purple Happiness tastes like a plum Happiness smells like blooming flowers Happiness looks like a baby bird Happiness sounds like tweeting birds Jl Happiness feels like a baby puppy. M Tessa Fitzpatrick Jr

We hatched chickens in Third Term 1991. We did not hatch them with a hen we did it with an incubator. The type they are is leghorn. Leghorns are white. They are growing feathers on their wings. There is a leghorn in Bugs Bunny. They start eating one day after they are born. When it is in its egg it has a cord. It is joined to its stomach. That is how it eats. Georgina Emselle

FROM GRASS TO MILK Cow eating grass L The cow is getting milked The milk goes to a factory and gets pasteurised The milk is getting loaded on to a truck to go to the shop It is for sale James Calder

I don't like cows or sheep to be killed because it kills nature. Nicholas Betts

STEGOSAURUS Stegosaurus means roof lizard. It was nine metres long and it was as heavy as three cars. Stegosaurus ate plants, it was a herbivore. It lived on the land. Mathew Hill

Amanda Mitchell The Lighthouse Keeper's Cake

KILLER SNAILS Feed on periwinkles, limpets and mussels. They have a long tongue which is called a radula. The radula has rows of tiny teeth that scrape food. If a welk is disturbed it can retract into its shell. A hard plate on its foot called an operculum fits in the hole in the shell. Andrew Poh

YEAR 3 GO TO THE ZOO On Monday, September 2nd, Year 3 went to the zoo. Our class met at the Geelong train station at 8.15 a.m. The train left at 8.30 a.m. We got to Spencer Street at 9.30 and we got in to the zoo at 10.00. First we had something to eat and then we saw the foxes and the wolves and then we saw all of the cat family. One of the tigers did a wee on Claire's face. When we went to the bird aviary we saw a bird that had got out of the cage. We went to the butterfly house. Six butterflies landed on me at once. There was a really big butterfly that landed on my head. It was really hot inside the butterfly house and I was sweating. After that we saw the koalas. One of them was asleep and it nearly fell out of the tree and one was hanging from the tree and nibbling the leaves. We went to the elephants, then we had lunch and I liked that. After that we went and saw the chimpanzees, baboons, western lowland gorillas and the monkeys. One of them was swinging on the top of the cage and ran into the other side of it. Then we saw the reptiles and it was time to go so we went back to Geelong by train. Ben Roberts

BOSSY BOX AND N E D KELLY Hi, my name is Claire but everybody calls me Bossy Box. I got on a stagecoach to Derrinallum. I was travelling in the bush. When we got in the middle of the bush there was silence. Ned Kelly came riding up and said, "Stick-em-up!" Everybody got out and put their hands up. It was the bushranger called NED KELLY! He said, "Give me everything you have !" So all the people gave their money except for Bossy Box. Instead she pulled out her toy water gun and aimed it at Ned Kelly. She pulled the trigger and water came flowing up. Ned Kelly got such a fright he dropped the money and fled. Everybody said, "HURRAY FOR BOSSY BOX!!!" Claire Grieve

Year 3 EXCURSION TO QUEENSCLIFF AND POINT LONSDALE On Friday 22nd of March we went on an excursion to Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. We went to Benito's Treasure, Point Lonsdale Lighthouse, Buckley's Cave, Rip View and the rock pools. Then we went on a bus to Queenscliff. We went on a beach walk and collected things, sat and listened and then we had lunch. After lunch we played some games. Next we went to the beach and made our monster lands out of sand. And then it rained. We all rushed for shelter. Then we came back to school and watched the video that Mrs Connoley took. Robert Chakir

OH NO, FOUR KILOMETRES The starter fired his gun — Bang! My heart jumped and I was off and running in the big race... I started off third, then second. I could hear mum saying in my head, "Hurry up!" "Getting closer," I said to myself. "Yes, I have got it!" "Oh no, he's gaining!" I thought I heard him say, "Slowing down, hey!" Two down and two kilometres to go. Suddenly, on my left side two were gaining at a fast pace. I ran as fast as I could to beat the others and in the distance I saw the finishing line. I could hear the crowd cheering me on. The clapping was getting louder and louder. Suddenly I woke up from my fantastic dream. And guess what? I had a stitch. Brad Giblin

MICE Mice, mice, here and there, Mice, mice, everywhere. Mice in the cupboard, Mice on the floor. Mice that certainly aren't tall. Mice that drive Mum up the wall! Chris Reichl

Nicholas Keays

Frederick heard the humans go to bed. He scurried into the kitchen. He found some delicious cheese. He munched away on it. Then he heard footsteps. Frederick rushed back to his hole. When the person had left he crept out and to his surprise he found a huge piece of bacon. Then he went off to bed. That night Frederick had the most wonderful sleep ever! Sonya Woodland MILDRED MOUSE Mildred Mouse lives in a house, Down by the River Murray. And every night she has for tea, Good old sausages and curry. Elizabeth Phipps

CHEEKY James Cameron A very cheeky mouse, Runs around the house, Peeping in all the rooms, Mum gets the broom, But BANG goes the trap. The cheeky mouse is dead, Snapped on the head. That poor little mouse, Who loved scampering Around the house. Sarah Kelly

THE VISITOR I was lying in my bed. The house was very quiet. Then I heard something. It was making a rustling and scratching noise. I got up and went into the kitchen. There was a little black thing with a long tail. It was only a mouse. I caught him and put him in a cage. Now he is my pet. Rebecca Richards RALPH Ralph was a little black mouse. He searched all day for food. He had long, twitching whiskers and little boggling eyes. He found some cheese, but he realised it was a trap so he quickly scurried away. Matthew Goldsworthy

Samuel Percy

David Ellis

A mouse was dancing on top of a jar of jam. Another mouse came along and asked him why he was dancing. "Can't you read?" replied the first mouse. "It says twist to open." Q. How did mice get their tails? A. Their fathers told them one. .

Chinetta Ren

Andrew Smurthwaite

THE PRESENT One Christmas Eve, a mouse named Fred lay awake wondering if he would get a present. So he left his mousehole and looked under the Christmas tree and there to his surprise was a small parcel from the cat. He opened the present and there was a piece of cheese. He took the cheese into his hole then he remembered that he had not given the cat a present. Fred went to the cupboard and got some dried whiskas for the cat. The cat said "Thank-you" and they became good friends. Simon Craig

I have had 3 meals a day for the last 8 years. I have sat at the table 2936 times. I have had 1 cup of drink with every meal which means I have drunk 734 litres of liquid. At each meal I eat about 300 grams so I have eaten 880.8 kilograms of food. I wonder if Mum has noticed I like to eat? Anthony Ross

If my sister Jeannie had every doll that she saw and wanted that was on television and they were laid head to toe, they would stretch from Queenscliff to Melbourne... Drew Hendrey

I have milk every day. While I was drinking my milk today I worked out how many 1 cent pieces fit into a 2 litre milk carton. I asked Mr Wade if he knew how many 1 cent pieces fit into a 2 litre milk carton and he didn't know. I thought everyone knew there were 3300 1 cent pieces in a 2 litre milk carton. Jessica Couchman

When I was playing tennis yesterday, I calculated that 46 440 tennis balls would fit on a normal tennis court. The only problem is, I would not be able to play on the court because it would be too slippery. Ellise Roberts and Sophie Farrow

I live in a castle and my room is 5m above the ground. I worked out I would need 500 straws to drink from the moat. If I drank from the moat every day Mum would have to buy 7 packets of straws each week. Perhaps it would be easier to go down with a cup and fill it up. Juliette Jenner

I hate cutting my toenails. If my toenails grew 2mm each week since I was 5 years old (and I am now 9) they would be 4.16m long. I wouldn't be able to get my shoes on. Maybe then I would cut them. Skye Swaney

Sometimes I just like looking at my pencil case. I calculate that 140 pencils would fit into my pencil case. My only worry is that it might explode when I close it. Nicholas Low

We have a hose in our garden. When we turn it on it takes 5 seconds for the water to start flowing. If our hose was a 100 times longer it would take 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the water to flow out the end. I'm not going to wait that long. Maybe the flowers will water themselves. Edward Jeremiah

CANOEING ON CAMP We went canoeing on Gulpa Creek. It was fun, and wasn't bleak. The canoes were fast and very light. We were paddling and in full flight. Mrs Gill was on the ball. Yes she splashed us, one and all. Found a fish in the water. It was cold, and as hard as mortar. Our boat got caught in the reeds. Someone else was in the lead. Tim Driscoll, Michael Hildebrand CAMP Camp was good, camp was great. We should thank them for what's on our plate We liked it morning, noon and night We thank you teachers you're out of sight Camp was good, camp was great. Annabel Idle

CANOEING AT TARRAGON LODGE As I stepped into the boat I felt it slowly moving away from shore but luckily Mrs Gill came to the rescue before I floated down the Gulpa River. She grabbed the end of the paddle and brought me back to the riverbank. As we set off we floated down, after about ten minutes everybody was drenched right down to their underwear. It was a 9km paddle which made me unbelievably tired. I was extremely scared that I was going to fall out of the canoe but after a couple of strokes I grew in confidence. Simonne Le Grew

DESCRIPTION OF TARRAGON LODGE Tarragon Lodge was in New South Wales near the Murray River. It had a dining room that was quite large with long tables. It also had a concrete floored gym where we could play games. The cabins were small with two single beds, one bunk and a bathroom that contained a toilet and a shower. The campout site was 1km from camp. It just had a shelter shed and two barbeques. John Cotton

HORSE RIDING We walked over to the yards not knowing what to expect. Susan told us to pick a horse and gave us the saddle, blanket and bridle. We brushed our horses and put the saddle on. Then we put the bridle on. At the start we had to walk. Susan said, "Now we are going to trot" but instead we went into a canter. The rest of the way we just walked but the scenery was good. Nick was on Custard and he was going everywhere. When we arrived back we unsaddled the horses and then we were finished. Simon Ayerbe, Cameron Hamilton, Cameron Boyle, Julian Diam nd

UMPS DUMPED On Thursday the local garbage collectors took all the A.F.L. umpires and dumped them in the local tip. The collectors said, "We are having a war with them using the rubbish bins as bases. We made a mistake and collected them with the bins and threw them in the truck." At A.F.L. House adminstrators were seeking new umpires.

Police sirens droned as the ute cruised through the streets, colliding with rubbish bins and sending them flying through the air. Bill drove like a madman on the wrong side of the road, through red lights and swerving to dodge cars. The police were in hot pursuit, their sirens echoing down alley ways as they chased the ute.

The storm was coming. I could smell it, almost feel it. It became darker and drops of water began splattering on me. They became heavier. The wind picked up and it got cooler.

SMOKING FOR ABOUT 35 YEARS. You see her face, and burst into tears. Her disgusting, helpless face was cut, And her tongue gone, without a trace. To have her for a grandmother would 1 be embarrassing. Seeing her smoke, and you can't do a thing. Her depressing figure, her spastic sounding voice. She started. She smoked, it was her choice. But still she puffs on, one, two and three.

UPI She grapples for her life, struggling, straining She clasps all comforting things as she slips away to the caverns of death. She is limp, blood trickling from her mouth. A glimpse of life suddenly disappears from the kind and once fruitful eyes. Death is upon her. PAPIO The sense of power overcomes the others, Dominating any challenge. Strength, speed, agility, Within our minds he is a God, Sometimes subtle, sometimes vicious His mantle raised in confrontation Other males succumb under the impressive Display in which he kills all prey. Daniel Weddell THE WARNING The glimmer of hope flickers and dies, It sparks again beckoning, calling, Mankind runs blindly towards the bright light and arrives there breathless, Only to find that they have taken the wrong turning. The path to light leads through darkness. Yet mankind ignorant, and foolish as it is, chooses the wrong turning. They found light all right, but it lead to darkness, death and decay. Daniel Wilkins

A MUDDY WAY TO GO 'Splash" my head came flying out of the thick, dark mud. I gasped for breath as the gooey slime closed around my legs and pulled me into the earth. I was dragged under and as I thrashed about I could feel the urge to suck it into my lungs and fill my body with brown mud. I was running out of breath. Thrashing, gasping, struggling with all my strength. Then I let go. I gave a quick draw, filled my mouth with thick dirt, then I was gone, maybe forever. . . George Taylor

In Term 3, Years 7R and 7 Q had a challenging debate. The topic was "It would be better to be a snake than a butterfly." We argued for the negative side. Our speakers were Renee, Stephen and myself. It was our ideas and good presentation that convinced the adjudicator that it would indeed be better to be a butterfly than a snake.

The Prayer of the Ostrich Dear Lord, It is me the ostrich talking to you I thank you for my lovely feather coat it really is quite nice, And thank you for my speedy legs of which I really am very proud. But Lord although I thank you, you can't imagine how embarrassing it is to stick your head in the sand with only your back end in the air. Elanor Cheadle

A COMMON PRAYER When blood runs through our veins or sap through trees this is growth my God. When people jump up high or flowers bloom on a plant this is life my God.

But when flowers droop and people lay still this is death my God. Amen. Shaun Smedley

DREAMS If dreams were books I'd read all day. If dreams were boats I'd sail away. If dreams were the sea It'd be clear and blue, If dreams were wings I'd fly to you. If dreams were love Lots I'd keep, But dreams are the things That just come in your sleep.

Emily Kaye EASTER The day that Jesus had the trial. He was sentenced to the cross, Pilot said that he was innocent But the people were the boss. They took him to soldiers who beat him, And put a crown of thorns on his head, Then they nailed him to a cross, And mocked him until he was dead. And when Jesus finally died, An eerie light hung over the town, None of the people knew what was happening As an earthquake struck the ground. They laid his body in a tomb, And placed a stone at the door, It seemed to the disciples that the son of God, Was gone for evermore, Then three days after that, Mary went to the disciples and said, This is what I have seen my friends, Jesus has risen from the dead.'

Proudly we marched up onto the ship I shouted, "Hurray!" Yelled the sergeant "No lip" This adventure was going to be great Going into battle alongside my mate. My sweetheart shed a tear or two As she whispered softly "I'll always love you". Once on the ship in a line we were hauled We were going to fly planes, pilots we were called. That night as I tossed and turned in my bed The words of my Uncle returned to my head. The excitement of going, the thrill of it all I'd lost sight of its meaning — to fight and to fall. At dawn my plane speared through cloudy sky It all became clear, one great big lie This was not an adventure, we were saying Goodbye, Because hundreds of men were preparing to die. Kylie Robertson

LIE POEM THIS MORNING my pyjamas turned into Jupiter and raced off to follow Mars. THIS MORNING hail played 'Moonlight Sonata' in bass clef. THIS MORNING forty-two giraffes paraded in my bedroom. THIS MORNING .green was envious of red's passion. THIS MORNING Helen Keller read Shakespeare's 'Othello'. THIS MORNING the frying pan made France in seventeen seconds. THIS MORNING Easter Bunny gave me my Christmas presents. THIS MORNING I laughed up a storm. THIS MORNING I read tomorrow's paper and decided tomorrow wasn't worth hanging about for.

TOMORROW We are the dreamers of dreams, yet we fail to make them reality. We are the sculptors of the future, but we don't want to soil our hands. We are the moulders of society, yet we dodge responsibility daily. We know what has to be said, but we shy away from the stand. We are the artists, yet we question our creative ability. We are the music makers, but we are reluctant to be heard. We are the courageous soldiers, yet we are running from the battle. It's hard to believe that one so insignificant can change the course of the world. Amelia Johns

Today was the day. That a visit we would pay To Ballarat ground Where gold is found, Especially years before Which a lot of men saw Some became rich From a dugout ditch, But some became poor And the only other alternative Was to disobey the law So it ended a Civil war. Suzanne Cronin

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY I like Science and Technology, Soaps and perfumes, creams and more. The bridges we build, some are poor. There's Lego Technic, making cars and cranes. Gee, it would be great to make aeroplanes. Mr Parker, the teacher, promoting ideas, Which are guiding us towards our future careers. Of course there's the down sides, and the gloom. When developing photos in the dark room. There are many exciting things, not to forget, The best of them being, making a radio set. I like Science and Technology. James Ryan

A CARICATURE He is like a lamb, timid but smart, his socks are up and his shirt's always in. He parts his hair with care, before he walks, well organised into class. He is always neat and tidy and his hair cleanly cut. As he receives his tests, his eyes light up, because once again he passed with flying colours. He is always trying to be organised because if he falls behind he panics and gets frustrated. He is glad when the day is over and he can read his novel on the bus going home. Richard Griffiths

HOCKEY The start of the game that makes us all tense. The whistle's sharp shrill, then we commence. The cheers from the crowd who stand by the fence. The smack of the .ball as it flies from the stick. The player who gathers, is clever and quick. He sprints for the goals and shoots with a flick. The rattle of tin as the ball flies in. The ball's back in the centre and again we begin.

OUR JOURNEY TO SOVEREIGN HILL Our journey to Sovereign Hill was a wet one, due to the lousy weather we experienced. We set out at 9.10 a.m. on the Thursday, and much to the delight of our group, we travelled on a doubledecker bus. We journeyed towards Ballarat, with Hendrix powering out of the bus speakers. When we reached Sovereign Hill we were quickly ushered off to a tour around, and then onto a lengthy class session, where we learned about the disease, housing, food and working in the early mines. After we had finished the class session we had a chance to eat lunch, and wander about exploring the many wonders of Sovereign Hill. We had a chance to fill out a questionnaire, with enough time for the students with sweet teeth to buy plenty of lollies, sprint down to our huge double-decker bus, in pouring rain, to make our departure from Sovereign Hill, and head back to Geelong College.

RHYME: THE WITCH AND THE FLY I was walking out front of a store And just as I walked in the door I saw a witch throw a pie She was chasing a fly. She walked to put it in her stew Jacqueline Pigdon Just thinking of it made me spew Little Miss Perfect She jumped and hopped around with glee Knocking over stands of tea. It flew out the door up high in the sky She grabbed her broom which was covered in pie The fly flew to Venice The witch screamed 'Menace'. It flew up to space At a very fast pace Tyson Anskaitis Mouth over Matter They flew past the moon Which came very soon.

8S CHERNOBYL VISIT This year for 8S' Social Service, it was organised that a group of Chernobyl children spend a day with us. The morning was spent in Mrs Mallett's Drama class, and although at times it was hard to communicate, I think everyone improved at charades and even learnt a few Russian words. We did some Drama-speaking through our bodies and in Gromolo, then listened to a group of music students who had formed a band (everyone was amazed how good they were). One of the girls sang us a Russian song and a little boy latched onto a guitar and was able to play and sing along as well! The school provided everyone with a delicious lunch after which we showed them around, spending most of the time in the Environment Centre where they had a great time with the animals. It was sad to think that these normal looking and active children may only have a few years to live. Their -visit was a great experience for us.

WAR As dawn breaks a bunch of young men squat in their trench, their young minds full of hate, fear and dreadful homesickness as a hail of mortar rounds rain down upon them. The day before, they arrived here, happy, proud and clean, not expecting this vicious and cruel welcome. Only a day after their arrival they are battlehardened combat soldiers, living to kill and killing to live as they crawl through the gore and filthy mud. They have no choice now after signing up for service to defend their country. Their future is bleak, with little chance of every returning home alive.

EASTER The day that Jesus had the trial he was sentenced to the cross. Pilate said He was innocent But the people were the boss. They took Him to the soldiers, Who beat Him And put a crown of thorns On His head. They nailed Him to the cross And mocked Him, till He was dead. The day He died An eerie light hung over the town. No-one knew what was happening An earthquake struck the ground. They placed Him ill a tomb And put a large stone at the door. It seemed that the Son of God Had gone for evermore. Then three days later Mary went to the disciples and said, 'This is what I have seen my friends, Jesus has risen from the dead!" Deborah Wood

Bianca Clarke, Katherine Davis and Clare Ashby — Ice Skating

ICE-SKATING On Friday 16th August 8S embarked on a epic journey of fun, excitement and sensationalism. 70km, 1 hour and 50 Irishman jokes later we arrived at our destination, the Myer Music Bowl. Putting on our skates it appeared that we were expected to enjoy ourselves travelling precariously over concrete hard, frozen water on two thin metal blades. After the first wobbly lap some people got the hang of it. Some went for a drink and some caressed their bruises. Mr Hatton decided to demonstrate a 360 degree full-on face plant. The students soon caught on, mastering the bad stack, the barrier slam and of course the two person high speed collision. Many exciting things happened but censorship prevents me from sharing them with you. Following a visit to McDonalds we arrived back at school where parents collected their tired and bruised children.

The 1991 football season has not been as fruitful nor as successful as we would have liked. As many schools are now finding, we are having considerable difficulty recruiting boys eager and willing to play our great national game. Nevertheless, our teams tried gallantly each week and individuals enjoyed many personal successes throughout the season. Our Under 14 team, coached by Mr Bill Jennings, was up against very good opposition throughout the year, and finished the year with only two wins. They were however, very unlucky to have not won more, as many games were decided by a single kick. In the last three matches the team played its best football for the season with wins over Caulfield and Carey, and a loss to Geelong Grammar by two points. Consistently good players were Tom Spurling, Chris Macafee, Nathaniel Ramm, Mark Yee and Cameron Day. The Under 13 A team, coached by Mr Doug Wade, were a spirited lot who grew stronger and more competitive as the season wore on. As the boys came to understand what was needed and required of them as far as running patterns and positional play were concerned, they settled down and really gave a few opposition schools a shake. They finished the year with only two wins, but Mr Wade was very pleased with team's commitment and courage on many, many occasions throughout the season. Consistently good players were captain Rod Crawford, Cameron O'Brien, Julian Percy and Todd George. The Under 13 B team, coached by Mr Ian Henricus, was a team of youngsters who were up against strong opposition throughout the year but showed great improvement in skill and commitment as the season wore on. Not being a tall side, their game was unlikely to be one relying on marking and overhead work, rather, they concentrated on a strong on-ground presence. This took a lot of hard work and courage by our smaller brigade such as Darren Charleston, James Paterson-Robinson and Andrew Burns. All the boys became quite proficient at our running-handball game and were very impressive by the end of the season. Consistently good players were Tom Billings, Russell Hough, Lachlan Watts, and as a special mention, Tim Ayerbe who took on the role as sole ruckman for the year and acquitted himself admirably. The B team also won two games for the year.

The Preparatory School entered twelve teams in the GeelongNetball Association Saturday competition in 1991. It was a most successful season with all teams being very competitive within their respective sections. The top College team — Scarlet, was promoted to Senior " B " grade competition where they won the premiership. This was a very admirable achievement for these players — as they often competed against much older and more experienced teams. Our Year 6 team also managed a premiership, by coming from behind and taking the honors by four goals. Coach Carol Morris was full of praise for her players, and certainly moulded an excellent junior team. Gold, Mauve and Pink were all runners-up in their sections and players and coaches are to be commended for their fine efforts. The teams that weren't represented on Grand Final day are also to be commended for the fine and sporting way that they approached their matches. Overall, the future of netball at Geelong College is looking very positive. Edwina Brown, Netball Co-ordinator.

HOCKEY

The Under 11 team enjoyed a most successful season, losing only two of its matches. The young players showed great enthusiasm and skills. Position play improved markedly during the season. The three matches played on the synthetic surface were highlights of the season. This year the division of the Under 13 teams into A and B pools enabled teams to perform at levels appropriate to their development of team play and strategies. Consistent performances by Tim Lamb, Matthew Spokes, Richard Mason, Michael Henderson and Thomas Bridges, ably supported by other team members, enabled a number of close victories. The Under 13B team, despite having a majority of first year players showed strong development of their skills. Tim Naylor, as goalie, showed particular improvement. First year players Rhys Hunt, Thomas Anderson and Thomas David contributed greatly to the team. Under 15 players experienced tough competition in their age group. Both first year players and experienced players showed positive improvement in skills and team play. The team displayed great spirit against often more experienced teams.
