O PRINCIPAL’S
Perspective
ur students today are supported in their access to exceptional learning opportunities through the ongoing generosity of our community — a community that believes in the transformational strength of education. In these challenging and unusual times through which we are living, humanity’s kindness is uplifting. It is my pleasure to thank you for your kindness and belief in future generations of Geelong Grammar School (GGS) students. The leadership and philanthropy of the Geelong Grammar Foundation and its members enables our learners to feel a genuine sense of belonging and a confidence to open their hearts and minds to the myriad of opportunities available at GGS. Thank you.
have provided for a student who could not otherwise access a GGS education to join our School community in 2021 as the inaugural recipient of the Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship. It is with heartfelt appreciation that I acknowledge all those whose ongoing support and donations enable our School to energise opportunities for all our learners.
2019 was a dynamic and stimulating year for Geelong Grammar School. Most significantly, the year began with the launch of an inaugural Strategic Framework for the School. This Strategic Framework is anchored in three underpinnings: taking responsibility for our past, advancing our present, and securing our future sustainability. It identifies three Strategic Pillars (Adventure Education, Positive Education, Creative Education) and five Strategic Imperatives (Ethicality, Collaboration, Inclusivity, Progression and Substantiation). Both the Pillars and Imperatives provide rejuvenated clarity to our ethos and act as a focus for decision-making to prepare our School for further success.
Currently, almost 25 percent of students at our School receive some form of financial assistance. We anticipate that there will be an even greater need for scholarships and financial support in the months and years ahead. Scholarships are vital to the ongoing diversity of the School, providing life-changing opportunities for so many young people who otherwise could not afford a GGS education, especially those from remote, rural, regional and Indigenous communities. This would not be possible without the Foundation’s support, led by Penny McBain’s acuity and ambition for the School. The function and spirit of the Geelong Grammar Foundation and its members continues to serve our community well.
Through the introduction of Our Focus, we affirmed the privilege of Enabling Wisdom through the provision of an holistic education which prioritises learning and academic skills, as well as the values of Courage, Curiosity and Compassion (Our Character).
Throughout 2019 we renewed our steadfast commitment to encouraging young people to be deeply well and purposeful in their life, and we grew a vision to sustain our long-term position. As ever, I am grateful for the Foundation’s generosity and expertise in supporting this commitment and our future.
2019 was blessed with a number of highlights, including our inaugural GGS Giving Day. It was a truly remarkable event that underlined our School’s enduring culture of giving. Together, we raised vital funds to benefit young learners, boosting fundraising efforts for our new Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship, as well as other scholarships and appeals. In total, we raised over $1 million through the support of more than 600 donors. These efforts

The continuing growth of the Biddlecombe Society provided another highlight, with 31 new members joining our bequest society in 2019. The Society exemplifies our community’s philanthropic leadership, which strengthens and sustains our provision of Exceptional Education. I am thankful for the enduring altruism of all those who have provided a Bequest in their Will to the Foundation to benefit the future of our School.
Yours purposefully and optimistically, Rebecca Cody Principal

T From the CHAIR
he highlight of 2019 was undoubtedly our inaugural GGS Giving Day, held on Wednesday 12 June, which replaced our usual Annual Giving programme. By year’s end had raised an extraordinary $1,179,510 from 619 donors, of whom 313 were donating for the first time, with a further $179,000 in pledges still to be received. I wish to thank our wonderfully generous community who gave on the day or afterwards – our students are supported in their access to an exceptional education by the generosity of our community. My heartfelt thanks also to our matched donors, who gave so generously that all donations made on the day were tripled until we reached our $1 million target. We are truly grateful. More than $500,000 of the Giving Day donations was directed towards the newly established Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship, with the remainder donated to another 16 scholarship funds and various projects, including the Library Fund and Timbertop refurbishment. Established to benefit students from remote, rural and regional areas, the Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship will enable a student who could not otherwise have access to a GGS education to commence with us in 2021. I would like to thank and acknowledge the inspirational leadership of Roderic O’Connor (P’74) and Fiona Ratcliffe (Archer, Je’77) in establishing this scholarship. A further two named scholarships were established in 2019 – the Handbury Family Scholarship and the David William Robert Knox Scholarship, which enabled a student to commence at the School in Year 9 and Year 8 respectively in 2020. I acknowledge with gratitude the generosity of the Handbury and Knox families, and also wish to thank, among others, Bas Seymour (FB’55) for his generosity in initiating the Jonathan K Breadmore Scholarship, Gordon Moffatt (M’48), the family of the late Neil Robertson (FB’72), and many others who have all made such wonderful contributions to the Scholarship Fund. I believe passionately in the importance of scholarships. They are essential for the continuing diversity and vibrancy of our School. They provide life-changing opportunities for children whose families could not otherwise afford a Geelong Grammar School education, and we can be proud of the contribution that the Foundation, through the generosity of its members, makes to the Scholarship programme. The total amount of donations received into the Scholarship Fund in 2019

was $2,689,970, out of the total fundraising of $3,187,249 for the year. The Foundation contributes approximately 15 percent of total scholarship funding, which in 2019 amounted to just over $1 million, partly or completely funding 113 scholarships, including a large number of J.R. Darling Memorial and Old Geelong Grammarian scholarships. The Foundation also invested the first instalment of the $1 million pledged towards the development of Creative Education across the curriculum which, along with the continuing generous support of Min and Ian Darling (P’79), is positioning the School at the forefront of educational innovation. The Biddlecombe Society flourished in 2019 under the care of Associate Director, Garry Pierson, Chair, Charlie Sutherland (P’86), and co-Presidents, Mary Morton (Weatherly, Cl’85) and Bill Ranken (M’72). 31 new members joined the Society as bequestors, a further two bequests were notified, and $310,000 received in bequests; a large part of this amount being the bequest to his named scholarship from the estate of the late Michael Collins Persse MVO OAM. Four Biddlecombe Society lunches were held in Barwon Heads, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, with a total of 265 attendees. I believe that bequests will become ever more important in providing support for the School and urge all members of our community to consider the possibility of providing a Bequest in their Will to the Foundation, as so many of us have already done. Total Geelong Grammar Foundation investment holdings at 31 December 2019 totalled just under $60 million; an excellent recovery after the difficult conditions of 2018. I thank Will Jones (Cu’72), outgoing Chair of the Allocations and Investments Committee, and his committee members for their diligence and prudence. My thanks also go to the Major Gifts Committee, chaired by Charles Henry (FB’67), for their work promoting the role of philanthropy to benefit the School and its community. In 2019, we were delighted to appoint new Foundation Board members, Charlie Sutherland, now Chair of the Biddlecombe Society Committee, and Justin Arter, now Chair of the Allocations and Investments Committee. Foundation membership stood at 960 at the end of the year, and I am immensely grateful to each of those 960 members of our community for their generosity.

↓ I wish also to record my appreciation of the support provided to the Foundation by our new Chair of Council, Paddy Handbury (M’72), and our Principal, Rebecca Cody. I would like to sincerely thank all Board and Committee members for their own personal commitment to the work of the Foundation. Lastly, to all members of the Foundation – my heartfelt thanks to you for your contributions not just in 2019 but in every year, including this difficult year of coronavirus. Without your generosity so much would not be possible, and with it, so much is. You do make Geelong Grammar a truly exceptional school.

OVERCOMING ADVERSITY –
the Ranken Family Scholarship
T
here is something life-giving about creating a scholarship,’ says Bill Ranken (M’72). ‘They really are the most wonderful thing — to give a deserving young person the opportunity of receiving one of the best educations possible.’
“It’s not about a specific talent, it’s about making a difference to a deserving person.”
Bill, his wife Katharine, daughter Sarah and son Charles (M’08) established the Ranken Family Scholarship in 2012, with the intention of providing a transformational opportunity for a young person who has shown courage and resilience in overcoming hardship. They have been inspired, particularly, by the challenges faced by Sarah and especially Charles as young people, and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude when confronted by adversity. ‘This gives the school extraordinary discretion in awarding the scholarship — it’s not about a specific talent, it’s about making a difference to a deserving person,’ said Bill. ‘Importantly, this also helps the School to retain a diverse student base. It’s an investment in the wider community too.’ The first recipient of their scholarship, Daisy Roberts (A’19), completed her schooling last year. Bill and Katharine met Daisy and her father, Jonathan, for the first time at the Leavers’ Celebration. ‘I can feel the tears coming up again because it was such a privilege,’ recalls Katharine. ‘You could see her obvious pleasure, and that was deeply touching. Daisy had almost left school at one point and yet with support managed to navigate through that challenging space within herself — that was so wonderful to hear. Jonathan was bursting with pride; he was gently grateful. It was just a very warm, touching, deeply connective occasion and this is what a community is about when it’s at its best. This school is family!’ The strength of family connection was another motivator for the Rankens in establishing their scholarship. Four generations of Rankens have attended Geelong Grammar School since Richard Blackwood Ranken enrolled in the 1890s, and at least 25 members of the family have attended Geelong Grammar, Clyde School and The Hermitage. ‘I reflect on how my father Charlie (M’34) and his brothers Jack (M’35) and Hew (Cu’38) went to Geelong Grammar, and they all went to war, as did their elder brother Bill (Melbourne Grammar), and all came back. These people demonstrated their strengths, time and time again. It’s about this as well — saying thank you.’ Daisy, who is now studying a Bachelor of Creative Arts at Deakin, is enormously grateful for the Rankens’ life-changing gift. ‘I know I would not be the person I am today without having attended such an amazing school. The impact they have made on my life will stay with me forever.’

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING –
the AH Whittingham Bequest
I
n early August 1927, members of the Geelong Grammar School Council were astounded to learn that the School was to be the beneficiary of a very generous bequest. An endowment of over £72,000 — an equivalent value today of almost $6 million — had been left to the School in the estate of Arthur Herbert Whittingham (GGS 1888), a leading Queensland pastoralist and public servant. Such a large donation to an educational establishment was highly unusual in Australia and, as the Council minutes noted, ‘takes rank with the endowments that are made in America by rich men for like purposes’. In the 1920s, the School was ‘rich indeed in old boys and friends whose loyalty, affection and generosity are proverbial, but not financially’ (Corian). An expensive capital works programme was nearing completion, largely funded by old boys, and further funds were needed to improve the School’s prospects. Higher salaries attracted the best teachers and scholarships attracted the brightest pupils, who were more likely to attend the School if university scholarships were also available. Whittingham’s bequest was specifically directed towards ‘the promotion and encouragement of education at Geelong Grammar School’ and included provision for university fees as well as an annual scholarship. Though unostentatious in life, Whittingham’s generosity came as no surprise to those who knew him best; his ‘sterling character and integrity won him a host of friends in all walks of life’. These were characteristics that had quite possibly emerged during his schooldays, when he came under the influence of the legendary teacher James Cuthbertson, a man renowned for inspiring a real and abiding love of the School in his pupils. Whittingham’s headmaster, John Bracebridge Wilson, was renowned for his integrity and for encouraging his pupils to be true and upright in their conduct. It was a sense of duty that led Whittingham to abandon a promising medical career in England to return to Australia upon the deaths of his father and elder brother, who had established the pastoral firm of Whittingham Bros. He turned his hand to the land, gaining station experience at Balranald in the Riverina and then taking over the management of Alice Downs, a Whittingham Bros property near Blackall in Queensland. By 1909, he was the sole owner of Alice Downs, soon afterwards acquiring numerous other properties and investing in sugar, timber and racehorses. By the time of his early death at the age of 57, Whittingham was a leading figure in Queensland’s pastoral industry, a holder of several public offices and a Member of the Legislative Council.
“Though unostentatious in life, Whittingham’s generosity came as no surprise to those who knew him best.”
In the mid-1930s, the Whittingham estate was the subject of a series of court cases, widely reported in the press, when Arthur’s widow Cecile challenged the terms of her annuity. The Supreme Court of Queensland ruled in Cecile’s favour, but the ruling was overturned on appeal by the High Court in 1934. Upon Cecile’s death in 1972, additional funds in excess of $200,000 became available. When Headmaster Francis Brown observed in 1927 that Whittingham’s gift would be ‘of great and far-reaching advantage’ this was indeed a prescient remark. Almost a century after Whittingham’s death, his generosity and foresight has enabled numerous students, including three in 2020, to receive a first-class education. 14

LEARNING LIFE LESSONS –
the Tommy Garnett Scholarship
T
om Ross (Yr10 A) represents the third generation of the Ross family to tread the ‘steep and rugged pathway’ at Timbertop. His father, Mac Ross (Cu’85), was in B Unit in 1982, and his grandfather, Hugh Ross (Cu’58) was in E Unit in 1956. ‘When I was young, my Dad spoke about his experiences at Timbertop, and this inspired me to want to go to Timbertop as well,’ said Tom. ‘Timbertop has provided numerous opportunities to extend and push myself, whether that be academically, within the running programme or even in Unit life. These opportunities have been markers where I can extend myself and see what I’m capable of achieving. I have thrived in these moments.’
“I thought the scholarship was a good fit for me because I had broad interests.”
16
Tom is the first recipient of the Tommy Garnett Scholarship, founded in 2018 to honour the School’s sixth principal, Thomas Ronald Garnett (1961–73). The terms under which the scholarship is awarded reflect Garnett’s vision of an ideal schoolmaster: ‘He will be above all interested in boys and their individual characteristics; he will be sympathetic but firm; he will be the sort of person whose good opinion boys will be reluctant to forfeit; he will be conscientious.’ Tommy Garnett scholars are required to display qualities of general excellence and to demonstrate enthusiasm across both academic and co-curricular activities. These criteria appealed to Tom, who applied for the scholarship ‘because I thought it was a good fit for me because I had broad interests’. Starting the Geelong Grammar School adventure at Timbertop was a challenge for Tom ‘but that soon dissipated and I was able to make friends outside my Unit as well’. Like his father and grandfather before him, Timbertop gave Tom ‘crucial life lessons which would not be possible to learn in normal living circumstances … you can learn to be a better person’. Providing young people with opportunities for personal growth was at the crux of Garnett’s own philosophy; under him, the School changed radically in its enterprises and outlook, including the introduction of coeducation in 1972. As Timbertop students know all too well, ‘not forever by still waters do we ask our way to be …’ and for students such as Tom, receiving the gift of a Geelong Grammar School education is an impetus to enthusiastically pursue opportunities.

FOR THE LOVE OF HORSES –
the David William Robert Knox Scholarship
W
hen she heard the news that her scholarship application had been successful, Sophie Paton (Yr8 Cn) was ‘so excited, and then I found out who the scholarship was named in honour of, and that made me even more excited. It is such an honour to hold his scholarship because he was such a great man! I had been to the David William Robert Knox Equestrian Centre before, so I was aware of his name and what he had achieved during his life.’ Sophie is the inaugural recipient of the David William Robert Knox (P’35) Scholarship, given ‘in the spirit of the Anzacs’ and in honour of David’s long proud connection with horsemanship by his daughter Diana Gibson AO. The scholarship is available to rural and regional students who are able to demonstrate a clear connection with horses and equestrian pursuits. ‘My father would be so proud to know this scholarship is helping students with a love of horses. This would have brought him great joy, and he would have felt very touched’, reflected Diana. David grew up on the land and soon after leaving school was commissioned a Lieutenant in a Light Horse regiment in Victoria’s Western District. Following distinguished war service in the Second World War which he was Mentioned in Despatches and promoted Major, David became a member of the body that in 1949 instigated the Equestrian Federation of Australia (now Equestrian Australia). He served as president of the Victorian branch of the Equestrian Federation, helped to resurrect the Melbourne Hunt Club, founded the Avenel Horse Trials, and greatly assisted the Australian equestrian teams that competed in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic Games.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to honour my father in this way as he is so deserving of recognition.”
18
‘He was a kind and genuine man, very giving’, described Diana. ‘I wanted something to be done in his memory that reflected who he was throughout his life. I feel fortunate that I am able to recognise my father in this way as he is so deserving of recognition.’ Through Diana, Sophie is the latest recipient of David’s generosity. No doubt he would have been happy to know that Sophie and her horse Sally have settled well into the equestrian family at Geelong Grammar School. ‘I go to the Equestrian Centre every day to feed Sally, and ride every day except Monday and Friday. I have been able to meet other students from all year levels who have the same passion as I do. It’s like another home away from the boarding house and it’s been incredible to be able to bring my horse to school.’

A GIFT TO FUTURE GENERATIONS –
the Richard ‘Dick’ Crummer Scholarship
G
eelong Grammar School blood runs through the veins of the Jamieson family, ever since a twist of fate sent the first Robert Jamieson to the School in the 1880s. Two more Roberts went through Manifold House, graduating in 1921 and 1953 respectively, followed by Robert (Clive) (M’85), and Clive’s children, Jamima (Cl’17) and Robert (Bobby) (M’19). Bobby’s opportunity to attend the School came earlier than might have been possible, thanks to another old Manifoldian, Richard ‘Dick’ Crummer (M’48) and his widow Patsy. ‘Dick loved every minute of his time at the School and made lifelong friends; whenever they met up there was always lots of talk and lots of laughs,’ explained Patsy. When Dick died in 2005, Patsy decided, after talks with Fiona Archer (Archer, Je’77), that setting up a scholarship in his name would be a good way to honour him. ‘The way to the future is education, and I thought it would be something good I could do to help future generations.’ Bobby was ‘overwhelmed and excited’ when he was awarded the Dick Crummer Scholarship, enabling him to commence in Middle School. ‘I had heard so many stories from my family — about sporting premierships, and the Dining Hall, and lifelong, strong friendships. I think the community is a highlight; everyone is so friendly and being a part of the community is so special. We are all so closely connected.’ Bobby was honoured and proud to be named School Captain for 2019. ‘It was a great experience to work with my peers, especially the school prefect group. Some of our plans got off the ground, and some didn’t. I guess that was the learning experience, to get something up and running can be hard work. I think my organisational skills went up to another level!’ Patsy was thrilled when she heard Bobby had been announced as School Captain and was sure that Dick would have shared the same sentiments. ‘Dick was a person who loved life and was always true and steadfast. He had said, just before he died, that he had had the most marvellous life and hopefully his legacy lives on through the scholarship. He was an honourable person and he always stood by people. He got that integrity from his upbringing but also from Geelong Grammar School and the amazing people that surrounded him there.’

FAMILY TIES –
the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship
T
o Michael Collins Persse (staff 1955–2018), Geelong Grammar School was like family. For Harriet Furphy (Yr12 Cl), it was inevitable that she would become part of the family too. Her parents, Adam (M’89) and Nean (Weatherly, Cl’88), met at Geelong Grammar School, and her grandfather (James Weatherly, M’59) and great-grandfather (Bill Weatherly, M’33) were also Old Geelong Grammarians. ‘I had been told since primary school that one day I would go there — but only if I wanted to. It had been spoken about so many times throughout my childhood, I didn’t want to miss out! There were always so many great stories; I would have been crazy not to take up this fantastic opportunity.’
“To be connected to Michael through this scholarship is very meaning ful.”
Stories about the legendary Michael Collins Persse, or ‘Colly P’ as he was familiarly known, abounded when Harriet was growing up. Her grandmother, Luki Weatherly, regularly baked fruit cakes for Michael, and her parents reminisced about Michael’s books and the Tim Tams given to students on their birthdays. ‘Mum and Dad were in different year levels at school so they didn’t have many common stories, but this was one that they both remembered and always spoke about. When I was successful in receiving the scholarship, my Dad came home with a packet of Tim Tams!’ Harriet had the opportunity to visit Michael at home on two occasions before he died in June 2018. ‘I remember him being so sweet; he was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was so soft, and I felt like I wanted to hug him! Sometimes when you’re around new people you feel a little on edge, but he just took that feeling completely away. He was very easy to talk to and he took so much interest in you.’ Being elected House Captain of Clyde for 2020 has been especially meaningful for Harriet. ‘I love all the girls in the house, and it had so many wonderful connections to past Clyde girls which I felt was really awesome. I felt very connected to my Mum as she was a prefect in Clyde as well. It was a really exciting moment for me. My Mum has monthly get-togethers with all of her Clyde girlfriends. Seeing that closeness and longevity of friendships is inspiring.’ Soon it will be time for Harriet to leave her ‘second family’ and pursue new opportunities in the area of mechanical engineering. She is enormously grateful to all the donors to the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship. ‘It means a lot to attend this School, but also to be connected to Michael through this scholarship is very meaningful. I felt like the school welcomed me just by the association of having his scholarship.’

Charlie Sutherland (P’86), Chairman of the Biddlecombe Society, is pleased to announce that the Society has grown significantly in 2019 with 31 new members. The Society is an integral part of the GGS community and is comprised of people who love and care for the School. Through the bequest programme, the Biddlecombe Society is helping to ensure the future of GGS. If you are considering making a gift in your Will, we encourage you to have a confidential discussion with our Associate Director, who is responsible for the vital area of Bequests. This will enable us to guide how your kind intentions can be best achieved. Contact Garry Pierson, Associate Director to discuss this on +61 3 5273 9136 or GarryP@ggs.vic.edu.au
March January There was a strong start to 2019 with a number of new members joining in the opening month of the year.
February
Charlie Sutherland, Chairman of the Biddlecombe Society, hosted the Bellarine Peninsula Luncheon in the Links Room at the Barwon Heads Golf Club on Thursday 14 March. This event was the largest attendance to date; we were delighted to hear from guest speaker, Principal Rebecca Cody. There was representation from Clyde School and The Hermitage, as well as many OGGs, past and current parents together with a record number of former staff members, which was wonderful to see.
May The Biddlecombe Society hosted its South Australia Luncheon in the SACA Committee Room at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday 23 May. Charlie Sutherland, as Chairman, was delighted to welcome the largest gathering ever for this event, which represented a broad cross-section of the wider school community.
There are several interstate visits organised each year; we commenced by travelling to Newcastle and Canberra, which enabled the Society to connect with members and grow in both regions.
April Garry Pierson represented Geelong Grammar School at the CASE Conference held in Brisbane. He spoke passionately about the GGS Bequest Programme and the Biddlecombe Society, presenting alongside Rod Bosman from Newington College. While in Queensland it was lovely to host an informal lunch for Biddlecombe Society members and guests based in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The Anzac Day service on Saturday 25 April, is always a great opportunity to renew old friendships. Past student and Biddlecombe Society member Harold Riggall (Cu’59) laid the wreath at the base of the School’s war memorial cloisters, together with our School Captains, Bobby Jamieson (M’19) and Maddy Atkins (Cl ‘19).

October
Old Geelong Grammarians joined members of the wider GGS community at the Western District Drinks held in conjunction with Sheepvention at the Hamilton Club on Monday 5 August 2019. It was wonderful to see so many Biddlecombe Society members and to meet prospective members and the wider community at this event. We travelled to many places, including Elaine, Ballarat, Beaufort, Glenthompson, Hamilton, Caramut, Macarthur, Warrnambool, Camperdown, Birregurra and Winchelsea. It allowed us to thank everyone for their ongoing support of the School and the Society.
The attendance was strong at the Melbourne Biddlecombe Society Luncheon held at Flemington Racecourse on Thursday 10 October, and guests enjoyed a pre-luncheon private tour of the latest racecourse addition, The Club Stand. Jeremy Kirkwood (FB’79) was the guest speaker, and those present were grateful for his very candid and open address in his capacity as Chairman of the School Council, a position he held for 15 years while being a Council member for nearly 25 years. Jeremy received a standing ovation for his address but also, as a result of stepping down at the end of 2019, as recognition for his contribution over a considerable period. Nine pins were presented by Will Jones (Cu’73), Deputy Chair of the Geelong Grammar Foundation.
We also travelled to Perth and visited many past and current parents and the broader GGS community. We have a dedicated and growing member base in Perth; we are grateful to our current members who are helping us to establish stronger relationships within the region.
September September was a busy month. We visited and engaged with many members in Tasmania, which remains a strong area for substantial growth going forward.
June The membership continued to grow post our event in South Australia, with many local influential people involved in the Biddlecombe Society.

We joined the OGG Riverina and North East Victoria Branch gathering in Albury on Tuesday 17 September, which ran in conjunction with the Henty Field Days. A number of Biddlecombe Society members, along with the broader GGS community, visited our stand at the Field Day. We continued with personal visits to members and the broader community throughout Central Victoria and Southern New South Wales.
November Throughout November, we had a local focus with many personal visits in Melbourne and the greater Geelong region.
December On Tuesday 3 December, the Sydney Biddlecombe Society luncheon took place in the Utzon Room at the Sydney Opera House, hosted by the Chairman, Charlie Sutherland. Those attending heard a wonderful final speech from Jeremy Kirkwood, Chairman of the School Council. Chair of the Geelong Grammar Foundation, Penny McBain presented six pins to members. The new venue, named after the designer of the Opera House, and the luncheon itself, were a huge success, capping off an incredible year for the Biddlecombe Society.
We travelled throughout North East Victoria, including Avenel, Euroa, Alexandra, Mansfield and Merrijg. We are fortunate to have a strong, supportive GGS community throughout this region, with many members spreading the awareness of the Biddlecombe Society.

GGS GIVING DAY
2019
W
ednesday 12 June 2019 was a history-making day for our School. With one of the School’s five strategic imperatives — Progression — as our focus, we embarked on a new and exciting initiative, our inaugural GGS Giving Day. For one day only, we joined together as a community to raise funds for our School and to launch our new Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship.
SCHOLARSHIP BREAKDOWN CHART
Australian Rural and Regional - 45% David William Robert Knox - 22%
With a team of nine volunteers, comprising Board members and parents, and six staff answering the phones, we achieved unparalleled levels of support from our entire community, cheered on by the House captains. As the donations rolled in, and the excitement mounted, a live stream of the tally was projected onto the scoreboard on the oval. Thanks to our 12 matched donors, who contributed significantly towards the campaign to ensure that all gifts made on the day were tripled, we raised an incredible $1,152,702. Donations continued well beyond 12 June, with recorded gifts to the entire campaign surpassing $1.2 million. A total of 623 donors generously contributed, including 314 who were first-time donors to the School, and support from OGGs and parents was higher than ever before.

“The rural connection brings to our school an earthiness or a realness which adds to the diversity and the make up our whole wonderful school community.” Donors were able to direct their funds towards the range of scholarships on offer, and we were particularly thrilled that our new Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship received enormous support. The School is confirming its commitment to our rural and regional communities, and the establishment of this scholarship is crucial to renewing these links. Roderic O’Connor (P’74), who along with Fiona Ratcliffe (Archer, Je’77) established the scholarship, were ‘genuinely amazed by the response. It shows that our community feel it’s very important to support rural people. Country people have long been the lifeblood of Geelong Grammar School, and it is so great to see that the wider community actually do realise and understand the importance of this. The rural connection brings to our school an earthiness or a realness which adds to the diversity and the make up of our whole wonderful school community.’ Thanks to the incredible generosity of all our donors, our first dedicated Rural and Regional Scholarship student will commence in 2021.

Our Treasures Our School is home to a remarkable collection of artefacts and ephemera that have been accumulated over the 165 years of our history. We are the custodians of maps and plans, sculptures and paintings, letters and diaries, silverware and bone china, medals and antiquities, memorials and plaques, curiosities and clothing — all of them contributing to the exceptional story of our School. Some are of intrinsic value and beauty, others are symbolic of inspiring people or places connected with all four campuses of Geelong Grammar. Over the course of the year, these ‘Treasures’ are being retrieved from the archives and other places around the school and featured on our website for the whole community to enjoy. Some are well-loved objects, others have been hidden away for decades, and all are intriguing. At a future date, a selection of our Treasures will be exhibited at Corio where they can be inspected in person. Will your eye be drawn to solid gold or to a well-worn teddy bear? To a humble scrap of wood or a souvenir of royalty?
View our Treasures at www.ggs.vic.edu.au/165 and look out for new exhibits via our social media channels.
