EXPLAINATION

Founded over 165 years ago, one of the longest established independent schools in Australia, Geelong offers a rigorous academic grounding as well as a wide range of exceptional enrichment opportunities. Their pioneering research with the Institute of Positive Education, looking at the intersection between the science of learning and the art of teaching, is shaping their curriculum and outcomes for students. Timbertops provides an ‘off grid’ experience for the Grade 9’s, with the focus on wilderness learning. Arts and drama also play a large role in school life, and sport is at the heart of their all-rounder reputation. Alumni include media moguls Rupert Murdoch, John Fairfax and Kerry Packer and former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser.
