2 SEPTEMBER 2013 3 At time of writing, the footy season was approaching its climax as the finals began. On the ladder, the Geelong Cats had closed back to second behind the Hawks. Familiar territory for such a successful club – no change there. Written by John Boley ut for Geelong itself, change is very much in the air. Forever – and perhaps unfairly – associated solely Bwith the Ford auto plant there, the city, the surround- ing area and the local authorities are preparing for the jolt that Ford’s departure will bring and planning a variety of means to improve the lives of the local people. There is a considerable body of opinion to suggest that the ending of such a tight relationship between the city and the carmaker could be a springboard for Geelong to better things rather than a disaster and the City Council is certainly working hard in that direction. It owns and operates the stadium that is home to the Cats, and a major push is underway to extend the reach of this valuable facility and enhance its value to the community. In 1877, Geelong joined the Victorian Association as a Foun- dation Member. The team was known as ‘The Seagulls’ for years, then ‘The Pivotonians’ because Geelong was the pivot point for all railway and shipping for Ballarat and western district merchandise. Years of domination followed as from 1878 Geelong won seven VFA premierships in nine years. Corio Oval was the headquarters until 1940 when the ground was taken over for military training – so they moved again, this time to Kardinia Park in Moorabool Street.

1908-110 Years Ago & Walter Douglas Chapman the Champion of Dromana

WALTER DOUGLAS CHAPMAN 1889-1975 (Ref: 2018/8) 1908- NATIONAL BACKGROUND 1908 was a significant year in the history of Australian Football because in August, that year, a national carnival of football (promoted as the ‘Jubilee of Australasian Football’) was organized in Melbourne. The sides that took part in that football extravaganza were: Victoria, Tasmania, West Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and a combined team from New Zealand. The Prime Minister of Australia, Alfred Deakin, played a prominent role in the pre-carnival festivities; and the series of matches gained plenty of coverage in the newspapers. Victoria dominated in all matches and thrashed the hapless New Zealand combination by more than 20 goals. In 1908, Carlton won the VFL premiership; and Dick Lee, the Collingwood legend, won the goal kicking with 54 goals. Younger readers may not be aware that the Brownlow Medal was not instituted until 1924; but the leading players in that era included : ‘Pompey’ Elliott ( Carlton), Bill Busbridge ( Essendon ) , Jim Sharp ( Fitzroy), Vince Coutie ( Melbourne) and Dave McNamara ( St Kilda). THE LOCAL CLASH-110 YEARS AGO While the local fixture between Dromana and Flinders could hardly boast the same amount of ceremony and pageantry as the 1908 Jubilee of Football, it was never-the-less an important game between two coastal towns on the Southern Peninsula. Note: Flinders would best be described as a ‘coastal village’ in those years. According to the official Census of 1901, there were only 181 permanent residents of Flinders (87 men ; 94 women ) and just 34 occupied dwellings. On the other hand, the population of Dromana, in the same census, was given as 736 people including 372 men.

School Performance Information 2017

SCHOOL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION 2017 As part of the compliance requirements of the Australian Government’s Schools Assistance Regulations 2009 (made under the Schools Assistance Act 2008), all schools are required to ensure that School Performance Information is made publicly available as stipulated by subsection 21 (2) of the Act. 1. CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHOOL Geelong Grammar School is an independent Anglican co-educational boarding and day school. From its origins in 1855, the School has always had a distinctive character. After outgrowing several Geelong locations the School moved to a 245-hectare site on the edge of Corio Bay in 1914, creating the unique learning and living environment that exists today. In 1953 it established Timbertop, a remote campus in the foothills of the Victorian Alps inspired by the philosophies of German educator Kurt Hahn. Timbertop provides the School’s Year 9 students with a full school year living, working and studying in the Australian bush, where they connect to their personal strengths, develop confidence and learn the value of co-operative endeavour. The School became co-educational in the early 1970s, enabling boys and girls to live and learn alongside each other. In 2009, it introduced its transformational Positive Education programme. Developed from the science of Positive Psychology in collaboration with Professor Martin Seligman and his team from the University of Pennsylvania, Positive Education focuses on social and emotional wellbeing, encouraging students to find purpose and lead engaged and meaningful lives. Positive Education is taught at each year level, at every campus and across all aspects of school life.

In 1953 it established Timbertop, a remote campus in the foothills of the Victorian Alps. Timbertop is an exemplar of Adventure Education, modelling experiential learning through and with nature by providing the School’s Year 9 students with a full school year living, working and studying in the Australian bush.
