The tern, which wa to be used a part of the s nior tudent Communication Project (a Work Requirement for English) invol ed communicating through letter and visit , and generall getting to know one another. After an initial period of ,apping letter and invitations the enior tudent entured down to Campbell Hou e where they were entertained and looked after by their re pective 'buddie '. Sub equently the Campbell Hou e children travelled to the Senior School and again spent time with their ' budd y' exploring the chool and attending class. Everyone enjoyed the experience.

The Principal CO-EDUCATION rom time to tim e th e virtu es of single-sex edu ca ti on are promul ga ted in th e co mmunity but very rarely d o co-e du ca ti onal institutions take th e ini tiative in this regard. The rece nt unhappy experi ence foll ow in g th e M elb o urn e Gr a mm a r Sch oo l Council's decision to introduce girls into th e Se nior Sc hool a nd th e s ub sequent re vokin g o f th a t d ecisi on, have again brought the issue into focu s with a number of the single-sex institutions promulga ting th eir views strongly. Let me say at the outset that we, in coeduca tional schools, are very happy for all types of schools to exist and for parents, th erefore, to have a choice of th e approp riate school fo r th eir children to " attend. We happen to believe th at co-ed ucation is more appropriate to the mod ern co ntex t, given th e socia l ch a nges tha t have taken place over the last couple of d eca d es, but w e w ould never d eny th e right to exist of those schools who d o not share our view. It comes as rather curious, how ever, for th ose who believe in si n gle-sex e du ca ti o n, to asse rt q uit e unequivocally th at th eir type of schooling is unarguably better. To substantiate their case, the res ults of various research projects have been cited to conclude, th at girls, especially, are significantly better served by being separated fro m boys in the school years because of complaints about the amount of time devoted to boys in a co-educational context. If th ere is inequality in our schools (and I wo ul d argue that in a good co-educa' a nal school like College, th ere is not) then surely the solution is not to accept th e i nequ ality a nd rem ov e girls fro m boys but to teach boys and girls acceptance of each other as equ als. In my view we are not prep aring our girls in th e bes t p ossibl e w ay for th eir fu ture working lives, where they will be worki ng w ith m en, by removin g th em from boys. The probl ems, if and w here th ey exis t, mu s t b e co nfront e d a nd addressed. N ew research evi d ence d oes p oint to the fact th at probl ems can emerge, especially in th e Science area, if teachers are not aware of some of the issues of gender and co ntext: th e an sw er to this, though, is i n th e a pp oi ntm e nt o f s ta ff wh o are aw ar e of th ese ma tt e rs ra th er th a n to adm it d efea t and co nfine both sexes to th eir own segregated environm ents. The issue of sup posedly poor girls' acad emic perfo rma nce in a co-e du ca tional environ me nt has also co me to th e fore rece ntly wi th p rod uctio n of the p ubli ca-
P
ti on of the results for Cycle 1 an d Cycle 2 CATs in V CE. The College and the stu d ents co n cern ed ca n fee l ver y h ap p y with their extraordin arily high gra des in comparison to th e State average. It woul d be imp ossible to make any supportable assertion about poor performance by our girls - th eir results have been outstanding. Leavi n g th e r ela ti ve ly ob jective research evid ence fo r a moment, on a purely subj ective basis, I have found in co nversatio n with girls at th e College th a t th er e is no way th a t th ey would w ant to go to a si ngle-sex school: th ey feel quite happy, th ey feel th at they are given every chance to achieve, and they d o not in an y w ay fee l inferior to th e boys. As I said at the outset, w hat is important in this d eba te is n ot to make bald statements about the comparative quality of one system against anoth er: w hat is important is to ensure that, w hatever the type of school, it is of the highest possible quality and its staff are the best possible people.
VICTORIAN CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION No topic in education has caused more controversy and elicited more opinion from all in the community than the VCE. To its credit, I sup pose, at least some public d ebate has cen tred around ed ucation i n th e co m m u ni t y a nd that is a good thing, seeing th at ed ucation is p erhaps the most important element in society. 1992 h as b ee n th e fi r s t full year of impl em enta tion of VCE. an d, und erstandably, it has not been without its difficulties and uncertai nties. In th e main, we a t th e College h ave been supportive of many of the innovatio ns, es pecially in th e intro d uction of new m od es of student learning, and the staff has w orked hard to ensure that the experience for students this year undertaking Units 3 and 4 has been a positive one. There is no doubt, though, that personal stress for stud ents and staff has been magnified this year, perhaps because of so me" fear of th e unkn ow n n a nd this may well settle into a man ageable pattern when it becomes clear w hat staff and stud ents are required to do to achieve the grad es th ey desire b ut I must say that I have never seen people in schools working harder than they are in Victoria at the m oment. The thorniest issue of the VCE. was always going to be the proce s of assessment beca use of the qui te planned moved away from a relia nce on external examination-type a sessmen t to a system
that was largely driven from within the schools. Cynics, sceptics, conspiratorialists and those who were just keenly interested in this element of the certificate were somew hat fearful of the rather idealistic claims that the internally-assessed work of the students would produce grades that were credible, reliable and comparable from o n e school to another. Some of those fears proved to be quite well founded . We can say with some pride that the results of our students in the CATs that have been verified to this point in the year have been extremely good and, in many cases, outstanding but this has not come without a good deal of strong representation to VCA .B. on behalf of our students by the staff and administration. Tertiary institutions, too, have had their say about the credibility of the assessment procedure and some of those institutions have already said they will place little reliance on the grades given for CATs that have not been externally assessed. There is no doubt that the next ticklish step in the VCE. experience will be that process of tertiary selection.
NEW PREFECTS From time to time, students in Year 12 blossom during the year to the point, w here they are offered prefectship during the year, and this year has been no exception. Matthew Bridges, Joel Gladman, Rhona MacLean, and Rachael Swinton were all invested with prefectship at an assembly during t he early part of Term III, and willingly accep ted the responsibilities that attach to that office within the College. There were others in Year 12 who came u nder serious consideration, too, and it was not an easy decision to make but the fiftee n young men and women that we now have as Prefects are shining examples of young adulthood and, in many respects, are a splendid reflection on the benefits of co-education.

Senior School SCHOOL CAPTAIN'S REPORT - FIORAN BOURKE
T
he Geelon g Coll ege ha certainl been a vital, thri in g in tit ution during 1992. It has been very fulfilling to ee 0 many of the tudent body invol ed in such a wide range of activities - educational, cultural and porting. For ear 12 tudent , it has been difficult to ignore the ever-obviou presence of the veE. The amazing concentration of Work Requ ir e ments, wri tten CAT (Commo n A e ment Tasks) and te t CA'I in the second half of econd term, repeated to a large extent at the end of third term, was little hort of horrific. At least it hould be better in y ear to come. That a pect aside, the general impresion of the v e E. among the Year 12 students is a favo ura ble o ne, w i th mo s t happy to be able to sh ow th eir ability over a range of assessments and at different time throughout the year. University selection procedures could cause problems again this year, given that some of the teachers are saying that marks so far have been markedly higher than in previous years. One of th e mos t enjoyable aspects of being School Captain is the involvement on regula r meetin gs w i th th e Sch o ol Captains of other A.PS. schools. At firs t, I was a little uneasy as I expected this to be a male-dominated gro up . H owev er, of the five co-educational schools, two have Co-captains and the other three have girl Captains.
All traditions have to start somewhere and I hop e that the formal dance held in the Morrison H all on A ugust 16 will tum out to be the first of many. It was a wonderful occasion, from the food organised by the Parents' and Friends' Association, to the stunning ou tfits worn by girls and boys alike. I congratul a te the organising committee fo r a most m emorable event.

o far thi ear, ollege stud ents and group have dis tinguished themselv s in a wide r ange of competitions, incl uding m a them atics, deb a ting a nd fo reign language . A major highlight and triumph for the ollege w a th e selection of th e School Ban d and Orchestra to compete a t a n i n terna t io n a l fe ti va l in Sy dn ey, including a never-to-be-forgo tten p erformance at the Opera Hou se. It wa a pity th at the foot ba ll trip to Adelaide h ad to be cancelled at the las t moment. T h e n e tb a ll t o ur t o N ew Zealand was the res ult of long planning and hectic fundraising, but it w as certainly well worth all th e efforts. It seeme d that every be nd in th e roa d p ro du ce d an o ther breathtaking sight a nd i t was with some sadness that I read of the horrendous problems ca u sed by the w orst w i nter ever fo r th e peop le of th e Canterbury area, who ha d treated us so well. 'Current Affairs' sessions this year have provided u s with a series of remind ers that, while at school, one can feel so safe, outside is a world that demands organisation, confrontations with the realities of all kinds, and so much decision making. A.P.s . sport this year has, so far, been v ery successful . The girls, in particular, did the school proud with victories in the Girls' Head of the River, the tennis and netball. There were good performances in hockey and swimming. The C ollege 1s t XVIII looked to be headed for a m ost successful season, and w as undefeated with only three games to go. Whether it was due to the break over the holidays, or the very heavy grounds at the e nd o f the sea so n, they were n ' t abl e t o keep up the m o men t um . evertheless, th ey gave a couple of very p o w erful sch ools an enorm o u s frig h t. Earlier in the year, the 1st XI cricket team c halke d up so me g ood wi n s a n d fe lt quite pleased with th eir overall resul t. I am w orried that one of the negatives a ss o ciat e d with the v.eE . will be i ts impact on inter-school sport. I fear tha t schools and individuals may be forced to choose b etween academic and sp orting
prio rities, believing that they may be abl e to u cce full y combine th em, as in th e p as t. May be th hastily pla nned changes for 1993 will diffuse this probl em. I hope o. I hav e littl e d o ubt that hig h profil e (and hig hly dema nding) sports su ch as rowing would s u ffe r after two or three year like 1992. This would be a gr ea t shame. I am m ost grateful to the school's community for the exp eriences of 1992. The p osition of School Captain is ind ee d a great honour, but so to are the positions of House Captains and Sch ool and House Prefects. We will all have a host of w ond er ful m em ori es of this y ear. We tru st that those who appointed us have had no cause to regret their decisions.
FOOTBALL Overall the College has had an excel- . lent football season with m ost team s winning m ore than they lost. The 1st XVIII produced their best effort for a number of year s by fi nis hin g thi rd in th e Publi c Sch ools' prem ier shi p behind Bri g hto n Gr ammar and Xavier College. The boys played som e terrific team football during the s easo n to wi n th e fir s t fi ve A .P.S. games but could not maintain it tow ards t he e nd, losin g th e l as t three. Si m o n Lynch w as th e best and fairest follow ed closely by the Captain, Leigh McCorkell, w ho h a d a fi ne season . Luke Barr w on the most consistent player award . The 1st XVIII shoul d have a good year in 1993 jud ging by th e number of Year l1's w ho played 1st an d 2nds this year.

Geography is no longer just the study of the location of rivers, mountains, cities and countries throughout the world. In the past this was studied from dusty outdated books that had possibly been lying on bookshelves for at least a decade. Once upon a time, the following questions would have been asked about a particular topic such as the Himalayas: 1. Where are the Himalayas located? 2. How did the Himalayas geologically form? 3. What farming activities occur in the Himalayas? Geography today is the study of the above and more. The above three questions are still asked and are most important in Geography but more investigative learning is also expected. Added to the above questions would be: 4. Do the activities of the Himalayas cause any environmental issues? 5. Why have these issues occurred and what are the social, environmental, political and economic consequences? 6. How can these issues be resolved? Geography does matter! In no other subject across the schoo l curriculum does a student have the opportunity to learn such a global outJook on life and begin to thi.n.k of the problems and benefits associated with a parti.cular geographical area of the world . They then must move onto an even higher level of thought and suggest the changes needed for improvement. Why has the 'Sizzler' restaurant been located in Belmont, GeeJong, on the site chosen. Was it by chance or luck? Was the soi1 suitable for such a building? Are there any problems associated with the site and loca tion? How ca n these be reso Ived?
These are the questions that students must deal with in the subject, Geography in the 1990's. Is this method of teaching Geography in the 1990's beneficial to students? Of course it is! No one could argue against this. We must take an important responsibility in training our young citizens for the future. They will be the decision makers of tomorrow and they must be able to solve some of these issues that the world faces at present and in the future. Geography at the College still teaches the basics. In Year 9 we teach a great deal about Australia, its mountains, rivers, deserts, raw materials farming manufacturing and cities, etc. Years 10, 11 and 12 takes a more global view of the world with a specific slant towards country studies. We would be most horrified if after
A small group of ten students and nine adults spent their September vacation trekking the Himalayas of Nepal. The group spent two days in Kathmandu before the hike began; a most fascinating city of the world and a must for those who like visiting places with a ' difference' . A bus ride along the main highway between India and Nepal for approximately six hours was again most breathtaking and at times dubious! At a place called Dumre the mode of transport changed to an old Russian army truck. Another six gruelling hours and we were at our destination to begin trekking. Nine days of hiking, each day being six to eight hours of strenuous walking and reaching heights of 13,000 feet gave them fabulous views of the Okhara Marsyandi River, villages such as Ghanpokhara and Siklis and the famous mountains of the Himalayas - Anna puma II and Machhupuchare. The walking was difficult at times and everyone had great days and of course some had bad days. All trekkers would agree however it is the only way to meet the people and come back having learnt how a country without highways, has continued to function for centuries.

Preparatory School SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAMME The Preparatory School offers a comprehensive programme of sporting opportunities for its students in addition to the Physical Education curriculum. This programme commences in t h e CampbeJl House years with special events such as a swimming carnival, fun and fitness day, a fun run, ball handling tabloid and athletic sports . Campbell House children can also learn and play netta (a game of modified netball) as a team sport. Healthy attitudes to phYSical fitness, personal endeavour and team work are established through these activities.
Georgia Giblin passes the torch to Richard Colman during the Campbell House Olympic Games. Our Years 3 and 4 children have a sports period each Tuesday. The children . Ohare introduced to the rules and skills of a p _ wide variety of major games. This programme helps the children to make informed choices when opportunities become available for them to play team games in regular competition.
fin Ee Seah (Year 3) takes part in Jump Rope for Heart.
In Years 5 and 6 a programme of interschool competition commences. This is arranged with the schools in our zone of the southern district of the Victorian Primary Schools Sports Association and is played on Thursday afternoons in school time . Because the College has excellent facilities for sport, we often host these competitions. Typically in summer there will be games of cricket, softball and newcomb (modified volleyball), and in winter, the children play netball, football, soccer and hockey. The major emphases in these games are enjoyment, the development of skills and participation . We encourage high endeavour, but the development of sporting skills and sportsmanship is much more important than the score at the end of the game. Through our affiliation with VPSSA, our students are eligible for state and national selection in various sports and many of our students have represented their zone and state. From Year 4 onwards, children are able to train after school and play Saturday games in softball (summer) and hockey or netball (winter). Teams at this level, in any of these sports, may be composed of both boys and girls. Students in Years 7 and 8 are required to take part in sporting activities after school on at least one afternoon per week . One way of fulfilling this requirement is to train and com pete with a school team . About three quarters of our students choose to be involved in this way. The sports that are offered include softball, swimming and cricket in the summer, and hockey, netball, tennis, basketball and football in the winter. There is an extensive athletics programme in the spring.
Melissa Kosky (7R) f ires a pass to Julia Broughton (70). Georgie Lee (8 M) backs li p.
Additional s porting activitie s are provided for students who do not wish to compete in regular games, and these include summer tennis, golf, badminton, table tennis, underwater hockey and cro ss country running. Students may also receive coaching in tennis and fencing.
Teachers as Coaches Whenever it is possible (and this is in almost every case) we prefer to u se teachers as coaches. This is because the purpose of our sports programme i s an educative one. We want our children to learn to lead and to contribute as members of a team, for the good of the team. We encourage them to develop positive attitudes and habits concerning physical activity and to value personal endeavour. We help them to learn the skills and strategies of the games they play, and to achieve a sense of satisfaction as their skills develop. Our programme allow s them to experience success and failure in sporting competition and to learn to respond to both with grace and goodwill. BELOW: Ben Sullivan (7Q) controls the ball while team mates Libby McMillan (7Q), Thomas David (7P), Ellis Davies (70 ) and Nick Murphy (70 ) provide support.
While we always encourage our players to try their best in games, winning is not the main aim of our sports programme. An obsession with winning can quickly subvert the proper goals of sports participation. Our teacher / coaches understand the place of positive sporting experience in the growth of young pe ople and keep the children' s wider interest in clear view as they help them d evelop sporting skills. Our s p o rting programme gives the sch ool a p rofile both in local Geelong competitio n s and among the A .P.S. schools here and in Melbourne. Cricket, at h letics, s wimming and football are played again st A.P.S . schools, and we play h ockey, tennis, n etball, basketball a n d softball in local competitions. This

In Years 5 and 6 a programme of interschool competitio n com mences. This is arranged with the schools in our zone of th e so uth ern d is tric t of th e Victoria n Primary Schools Sports Association and is pl aye d o n T hu rsday aft ernoo n s in schoo l time. Beca use th e College has excellent facilities for sport, we often host these competitions. Typically in summer th ere w ill be ga mes of cricket, softball and new comb (m odified volleyball), and in winter, the children play netball, foo tb a ll , soccer a nd h oc k ey. T h e major em ph ases in these games are enjoyment, th e d evelopment of skills and participation. We encourage high endeavour, bu t th e d evelopment of sporting skills and sp ortsmanship is mu ch more important th an the score at the end of the game. Thro ugh our affiliation with VPSSA, our students are eligible for state and national selection in various sports and many of our students have rep resented their zone and state. From Year 4 onwards, children are able to train after sch ool and play Sa turday games in softball (summer) and hockey or netball (winter). Teams at this level, in any of these sports, may be composed of both boys and girls. Students in Years 7 and 8 are required to take part in spor ting activities after school on at least one after n oo n per week . On e way of fulfilli n g this req uirement is to train and compete with a school team . Abo ut th ree q u arters of o ur stu de nts choose to be in vo lved in this way. T h e spor ts th a t are offered i n cl ud e softball, swimmi n g a n d cricket in the summer, and hockey, netball, tennis, basketball and foo tball in the wi nter. There is an extensive athl etics programme in the spring.

Additional s porting activitie s are provided for students who do not wish to compete in regular games, and these include summer tennis, golf, badminton, table tennis, u n derwater hockey and cross country running. Students may also receive coaching in tennis and fencing.
Teachers as Coaches Whenever it is possible (and this is in almost every case) we prefer to use teachers as coaches. This is because the purpose of our sports programme is an educative one. We want our children to learn to lead and to contribute as members of a team, for the good of the team. We encourage them to develop positive attitudes and habits concerning physical activity and to value personal endeavour. We help them to learn the skills and strategies of the games they play, and to achieve a sense of satisfaction as their skills develop . Our programme allows them to experience success and failure in sporting competition and to learn to respond to both with grace and goodwill.
BELOW: Ben Sullivan (7Q) controls the ball while team mates Libby McMillan (7Q), Thomas David (7P), Ellis Davies (70 ) and Nick Murphy (70) provide support.
While we always encourage our players to try their best in games, winning is n o t t he main aim of our sports programme. An obsession with winning can q u ickly subvert the proper goals of sports participation. Our teacher / coaches understand the place of positive sporting experience in the growth of young people and keep the children' s wider interest in clear view as they help them develop sporting skills. Our sporti n g programme gives the school a profile both in local Geelong competitions and among t h e A .P.S. schools here and in Melbourne. Cricket, a thletics, swimming and football are p layed against A.P.S. schools, and we play hock ey, tennis, netball, basketball and softball in local competition . This

LEARNING TO CARE Caring for others is something that humans learn from an early age. They begin to take into consideration the feelings, wishes and welfare of their family and their friends. The school supports the development of caring attitudes and seeks to broaden children's understanding of their responsibilities in their community and in the wider world. The Social Service activities for each class at the Preparatory School encompass both money raising efforts and community assistance. Community activitie s which s tudents are involved in include visiting elderly people who are confined to bed, helping with council gardening projects and sorting clothes for the Brotherhood of St Laurence.

The aim of our community service projects is to put students in touch with the persons or situation needing care. Primary students gained enormous satisfaction from their tree-planting efforts on a council block in West Geelong. In Term 1 they planted well over 1000 trees, and the area near the Cemen t Works is now the site of a growing forest. In recognition of International Literacy Day (8 September) some Campbe ll House children had the delightful role of presenting books to babies born on th e day. The children visited St John of God and the Geelong Hospital. The parents of the babies were given informatio n on the importance of encouraging reading a nd suggestions for helping their child to love books.
Yea r 1 students, Lachlan Crawfo rd and Georgie Gibli n place an International Literacy Day sticker on a book to be given to a baby born on September B. An annu al community service project for Year 7 is the collection of good s for the Salvation Army. Groups of students dro p appeal notices to residents w ho live . . i n areas s urro und in g th e Prepar a to ry School.

For this year's collection, the students were faced with very cold and wet conditions; however, they pressed on and were proud of the amount of goods they collected. In particuJar, there were very generous donations of tinned, bottled and packaged food for families in Geelong. The Forty Hour Famine is always highly successful because students are not only involved in the fast but are also responsible for collectif}g sponsors and s ponsorship money. This year the primary students joined the Famine Fighters campaign and the combined fundraising resulted in a figure of over
litters of rabbit kittens. The recent hatching of five ducklings wa s an exciting event and the new arrivals have been closely observed by students from all years. Despite this attention, the resident robber crow managed to swoop on the ducklings and carry one away.
Caring for the environment has been one of the principal concerns for Ian Stapleton, former director of Mittagundi and Wollangarra. Ian established these outdoor education centres as places where teenagers could experience the joys and challenges of life in the mountains . In a most inspiring fashion he

$4000.
Helping students to become sensitive to the needs of others is important when , media coverage continually portrays the \ dismal conditions many people live under. It is easy to become desensitised and lose sight of the suffering of individuals . A Year 8 Social Science unit on Refugees teaches students about the enormous problems faced by homeless millions throughout the world. Similarly, the study of newspaper articles and of books such as Little Brother and I am David in English helps to encourage an empathetic response to these unfortunate people. Closer to Geelong, the homeless ness of young people has long been a focus of Old Geelong Collegian John Embling. John works with Heather Pilchard to maintain the Families in Distress Foundation in Footscray. Year 8H has read parts of his books Tom - a child's life rega ined and Fragmented lives and for the , past three years has raised money to support the valuable work of the Foundation. Caring extends to the environment and the creatures in it. Developing a sense of respo nsibility in this direction is one of aims of the Environment Centre. Students from Years 4 to 8 can spend their rece ss and lunch tim es in the Enviro and th ey often keep rabbit s, guinea pigs and pouJtry in th e cages in the area. Under the s upervisio n of Mr Stuart McCallum and Mr s Deryn Alldi s, they look after their pets and learn how to cope with the hig hs and lows of keeping smaU animals. A virulent train of myxomato sis claimed th e liv s of most of the rabbits earlier in the year, but since th e n numbers have begun to rebuild with the arrival of several

There will be a number of students at th e senior level who will be seeki ng emp l oyme nt n ext year, whether by choice, or because th eir te rtiary s tudy ambitions will have failed to eventuate. Th e horrifying high levels of un employment in the community, particularly amongst its young people, have made the job prospects uncertain for o ur schoolleavers, as well as tertiary graduates. You might be able to offer assistance to this group - perhaps as a contact from whom a student: - can find out more abo ut th eir occupa tion of interest - receive adyjce on gaining entry to this occupation - gain further contacts within the industry

It's Carnival tim.e! MESSAGE FROM THE CONVENOR It would not be an understatement to say that the College Carnival will be one of the biggest and
best events of its kind ever conducted in Geelong. And so it should be as it will be the result of over twelve months of planning by a lot of hard working and generous supporter from all sections of the school who have combined to produce a carnival with everything you would expect and much more. There will be around 20 food tents , 34 individual activities - games, display and stalls, seating for 500 under a large marque, music and entertainment - all in the delightful setting of the Senior School grounds. We are confident that visitors of all ages will find enjoyment and entertainment at the carnival. All we need now to make the carnival a success is your pre ence, so please join us on the 28th November, 1992. We know you will have a good time.
PARKING Yes, parking will be difficult around the choo!. We have therefore made special arrangements for parking at the Preparatory School. Enter the school ground from Minerva Road and attendants will then assist you with your parking. Benders buses will provide a regular shuttle to and from senior school throughout the carnival. This will be a free service.
HOLE-IN-ONE One golf shot could win the lucky hitter a weekend for two at the
Cobram Barooga Golf Resort provided by David and Glenda Johnstone. This will be the prize on offer for the winner of the 'hole-in-one' golf competition to be conducted on Rankin Field. Other special prizes will also be awarded to competitors. Well known go lfrn g personality, P eter Toyne will be conducting and also sponsoring the event.

GEELONG COLLEGE CARNIVAL
Coodabeen Champion - Ian Cover A Guest at the Carnival Coodabeen Champion (and sometimes Geelong supporter), Ian Cover, will be in attendance at the College Carnival to do what he o\,'s best - intervie'wing some notable personalities in his usual wi tty and probing style. vVatch this space to see who these personalities \vill be, Ian "'lill be one of a number of exciting presentations from an outdoor stage which will be a centre piece of the carnival grounds. The STAGE "",'ill be the VENUE of continuous live entertainment throughout the evening. Other acts to be presented on stage will include a fashion parade, special acts, a dance
routine and most importantly a variety of musical entertainment presented by the diverse range of musicians in the school under the guidance of the school's musical director, Mr Harry Hood. The "smorgasbord" of music will include a Dixieland group, Stage Band and Brass Ensemble. Rock music has not been forgotten - a special stage will be set up (thanks to the Ford Motor Company) for rock bands to present their brand of music at various times throughout the evening.
Message from the Convener As the 28th November rapidly approaches; interest in the Carnival is increasing as people become more aware of the event and its activities. The first newsletter was distributed to around fh-e thousand households which have a past or present connection with the College and an excellent response has been received. As the date gets nearer the excellent work of Barton Van Laar will be seen in the colour posters which will appear around the College and Geelong. We are particularly pleased with the response of the business community which has provided very generous support for the Carnival.
The Carnival is being "launched" with the Carnival Raffle. Tickets are now being distributed to parents. This single activity will be the major fundraiser for the Carnival and I therefore urge all to sell their alloca tion of tickets to ensure the success of the raffle. Some appreciation of the size and diversity of the activities of the Carnival will be apparent from these newsletters. The convenors of the activities and their various committees are making substantial contributions in time and expertise in planning for the Carnival. However, the day will only succeed if we have PEOPLE TO HELP US.
WANTED
It is not too early to register your offer of assistance. Call the Carnival Office on 263123.
Books; cassettes, quality magazines for the second hand book stall. Call BRIDGETIE O'DONNELL on 297946.
