Being at Geelong Grammar School is a great privilege, and I aim every day to make the most of my opportunities. In Year 8 I have achieved more than I thought possible. I have enjoyed all aspects of the programme and have achieved my goals. So far this year I have improved in all my grades and I made the JLS Athletics’ Team. I am looking forward to Timbertop; I can’t wait to test myself. I feel that I have a positive future at GGS. No matter the situation there is always someone at GGS who will provide you with guidance and support.
This year I have been proud to perform in the Middle School Play and also achieve first place in the Middle School Girls’ House Rowing Regatta. I am excited about going to Timbertop. I am looking forward to getting to know people better by living with them full time. I will definitely miss my phone and email and I despise writing letters, but sometimes we get caught up in technology; the break will be good for me. I think I have a bright future at GGS because I try to make the best of my opportunities.

At the beginning of the year I was terrified about coming to Geelong Grammar School. The whole ordeal of adjusting to a completely new school was a very daunting prospect. My achievements this year include participating in the House Cross Country, living in Connewarre, House Swimming, Netball, Athletics and much more. Moving on to Timbertop next year will be another huge change. I know all the running and hiking will be demanding. Geelong Grammar School is a wonderful, caring and warm community and I am looking forward to finishing the rest of my school years here.
Geelong Grammar School is different from every other school because of the many opportunities presented. I have been involved in the Middle School Play, APS athletics, my studies and as a boarder in Barwon House. I am eager to face the challenges that Timbertop presents and I am especially looking forward to the outdoor activities and meeting new people. I am going to be very sad to leave Middle School at the end of this year and there is no doubt how much it has prepared me for the years ahead.
This year I have been proud to be a House Leader in Connewarre and one of the Connewarre SSC representatives. I will miss Middle School and all of the Year 7 students, but I am looking forward to Timbertop; it will be great to meet new people. I am looking forward to the runs, hikes, chopping wood and skiing. Lucy Keatley (Yr8 Cn) Moving from the Toorak Campus to Corio was a big change, especially adjusting to boarding life. Boarding is not an issue though when you have so many girls that you come to think of as sisters. This year has been full of opportunities. I was proud to achieve a Significant Improvement in Academic Grades award in first semester. Middle School offers a positive future for me because it has helped me become a conscientious student; one who sets goals to achieve. I look forward to setting a good example for the Years 5, 6 and 7 students. Grace Beaumont (Yr7 Cn)
