VisiLors to the S nior School on Op n Day may have noticed a la rg rock in th courtyard b twe n Morrison Hall and the Roll and Cen tre. This rock will be th base for a s tatue of Pegasus, which has been generously donated to the school by five Coll ege families . Mr Peter Corl ett, one of Australia's finest sculptors and the creator of Phar Lap, is currently working on the bronze statue which will be half life size and will be a significant work for all to enjoy. The dedication of this fine piece of A us tralian art will occur later this year and will be a feature in a future Ad Astra. At a recent meeting, Council decided that the Principal' s former re idence will be called Davey House after the long serving and much loved former Vice-Principal, r Des Davey. This building will undergo some minor alterations and then be used to accommodate the General Office, the Bursar and the Community Relations staff. This will provide better and more con enient facilitie for parents, Old Collegians and busine s people isiting the school. The move to Dave, Hou e ",,'ill al 0 provide much needed administrative space for the t aching taf£. The ne t edition of Ad A tra \·v ill bring a full report.

was when originally opened in 1937. With the facilities for girls in Mossgiel being of such a illgh s tandard, the Planning Commi ttee is conscious of Mackie's internal shortcomings . The commjttee proposes to make a recommendation to the College Council that a major up-grading be undertaken, but regrettably any steps taken will need to be after the electrical wiring is renewed during the next Christmas holidays. We are very proud of both our 1st VIII girls' Tennis Team and our 1st XI boys' Cricket Team, both APS Champions and Premiers. Our girls also came second in the softball and we came second in both the boys' and girls' Head of the River. With our wins in other divisions, we were the strongest school at the Regatta. Our success in co-curricular activities is indicative of the talent and determination of our students and the excellent support giv en by our fine staff.

Each game was a dramatic contest as the boys, their parents and the College community came to expect. At times we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, though it could have easily been the oth er way around . The closer we came to the end of the season, the more crucial the games became, but the boys rose to every challenge. It was not until the last two rounds that the XI reached the top of the ladder and then there was goin g to be no known way that they would surrender.

Each year the students have a fi Id trip during which they sk [ch from life. For example, Year 4 went to the Melbourne Zoo where they observed and sketched anima ls. Back in the classroom the sketches were used to inspire the students to do more animal drawings that were finally used to cr ate a rainforest mural. Our Year 6 students have b en learning how to draw the human face realistically. In doing so, they have been making observations that often surprised them, such as that on the average h ad, the eyes are positioned in the middle of the head and not higher up!
