There is a report on this in this edition and, again, more will be written and spoken of this in the coming months. The Middle School facility redevelopment reaches another stage, as outlined in another story in this edition, and landscaping and externals will be the feature there in 2014. Our energies concentrated on what’s appropriate and right to enhance the learning by our students and to make them more independent, curious and aspirational learners. They are capable of so much and I was reminded again of their capabilities in reading, with my daughter, over the summer the story of a young Indian man, Saroo Munshi Khan, now in his 30s and living in Hobart with his adopted family.

    ews-Sheet of the Geelong College Community No. 42 NOVEMBER,1979 JUBILEE OF CAMPBELL HOUSE The report of the Principal (Rev. F. W. Rolland) in December, 1929, included the following paragraph, " Next year we are adding to our Preparatory School a class for boys of four to seven years of age. It will be on Kindergarten lines and will embody the results of the painstaking scientific observation of the young child which has been going on for the last thirty years. The trained child teacher of today does not let children do anything they like, nor does she take a fixed syllabus and force it on her class. She says: All these children have many natural instincts and activities. How are these activities, which are the most valuable for the individual and social life of the child, to be encouraged and developed? What is the environment and material that these children should have if their restless energy is to be guided into the right chan· nels and they are to make steady progress from easy to more difficult achievements? In short it works from the human end, as some day all education will do." So the Kindergarten began in 1929 under This was the original kindergarten class·room. the skilled direction of Miss Sylvia Baird, who was in charge for the first three years. Until 1936 it was based in one of the class· Rapid development and growth occurred ment which lasted until her retirement at rooms of the old Preparatory School build· after the appointment of Miss Lorna Hamer the end of 1978 and wh ich was marked ing, on the Senior School site.
