		Yet these schools steeped in the Anglican tradition share many other common factors, including a high level of boarders, day fees of about $16,000 a year, and a similar ranking under the system that determines the level of Commonwealth funding each school gets.
		Geelong Grammar comes in a point lower, at 111, on a scale which in NSW ranges from 87 for the poorest schools and 133 for the wealthiest.
		Kaylar Michaelian, the principal of Hamazkaine, Arshak & Sophie Galstaun School, has appealed against the Federal Government's ruling that the parents of his pupils are on a par financially par with those at Trinity - and marginally better off than those who send their offspring to Geelong Grammar.

	The Geelong College - College Community (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Football, and cricket too, began to assume a large part in school life, and the matches, which in the beginning were always played on Saturday mornings, so that school work might not be interfered with, soon came to be important enough to warrant the granting of half-holidays.
		In 1884 four matches were played—two against Geelong Grammar School, of which the College won the first, and the Grammar School the second, and one each against Ballarat College and Hawthorn Grammar School, both of which resulted in easy wins for the College by 13 to 0 and 7 to 0 respectively.
		Geelong Grammar School had defeated all the public schools, so that there was abundant justification for the comment of The Australasian:—"These performances of the Geelong College team give them the honour of first position amongst our school football champions for the year.

	Walkabout - Geelong
		In 1993 urban sprawl forced the de facto recognition that Geelong, Geelong West, Newtown, South Barwon, Bellarine and the shire of Corio were effectively a continuous whole and they were amalgamated to form the City of Greater Geelong which, in 1996, had a population of 175 409.
		Geelong has always been a major port and has always had a symbiotic relationship with the fertile agricultural and pastoral districts to the west and north-west of the city - a relationship which is manifest in the form of huge bay-side grain silos.
		Geelong, for the moment, was outstripped by Ballarat and Bendigo and was derisively referred to by Melburnians as 'Sleepy Hollow'.

		A Geelong Biographical Register entry reproduced with the kind permission of the Geelong Historical Society.
		In 1888 at the age of 11 he commenced as a day-boy at Geelong Grammar School, though for about six months he became a boarder because of recalcitrant behaviour at home; symptomatic perhaps of a sometimes strained relationship with his father.

		The Geelong Chorale joined in “A CHORAL CELEBRATION’’ at The Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels, Yarra Street, Geelong, presented by The Geelong Grammar School, The Royal School of Church Music Australia (Vic.) and The Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels.

		Geelong Grammar is just outside Geelong and only an hour's drive from Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road.
		Obviously the main problem at Geelong Grammar is the lack of any recognised coach and the fact that there is no competition from outside schools.
		The competitions already in place within the school mean that interest should remain high and the school has said how pleased they were with the introduction of Fives into the sports programme.

	Geelong Grammar School - History
		From the outset the School developed a distinctive flavour, stemming from the interaction of strong English boarding school traditions with the free-wheeling and egalitarian social forces that were typical of the young Australian colony.
		The move was as much initiated by the desire to provide a learning and living environment for students in a 'village community' with staff and their families, relatively isolated from the distractions of the town, as it was by the need to accommodate rapidly increasing numbers, particularly boarders.
		The school, which was founded in 1887, had acted as the chief Melbourne preparatory school for Geelong Grammar for some time before coming under its auspices in 1947.

	Speech to Geelong Grammar School
		It is a particular honour in view of the fact that this is the 150 th anniversary of the school's establishment.
		It recognises that you have paid your taxes to support the state school system but have chosen a non-government school which carries ¼ of the public subsidy of a state school because you believe this school gives your son or daughter the best start in life.
		To someone like me, at the age of 54, it is hard to imagine what it would be like for someone leaving school today….taking on such a different society to that which I entered when I finished school….and all the challenges that it brings.

		The TNS approach gave us at Geelong Grammar a base from which we could comprehensively address what we were doing and going to do, as an educational institution, about sustainability.
		We, as a school, were no well down the road to a greater understanding of the role of education in supporting the move from the current unsustainable linear thinking to a sustainable cyclic paradigm.
		In summery, TNS approach is certainly worthy of serious consideration when schools are addressing matters environmental and confronting the challenge of building sustainability into their strategic planning.

	FHA - Geelong Grammar School Speech Day Address by Tim Macartney-Snape
		Of course parents must be satisfied that the school is doing the job well but parents are to be reminded that the school, especially a church school, has a greater duty than parent satisfaction.
		A school can and must do much to foster that component as is perhaps most succinctly put by Michael Persse when he wrote for the Corian that true education consists of the recognition and restoration of primal innocence.
		It was Dr Darling whose steerage of this school gave the structure that produced the strength needed.
