Celebration 100 years of Geelong High

from w
Next Saturday kicks off the Geelong High Celebration and I've copied some of the promised events from their website. Our three sons went to the Geelong High School (which refused to be renamed as Geelong Secondary Collage when the govt. demanded a name change for senior schools). For nine nears we lived at Shenton Manse opposite the school. Even the Shenton church buildings were eventually purchased by the High School for drama, music, and so on. Our five bedroom manse because music studios. So it's special to our family. I intend to have a browse around one day next week.
