I started at Geelong Grammar School in ELC, and now I’m in Year 2 at Toorak. I love school because my teachers are really, REALLY nice, and I have lots of friends.
My favorite thing is learning about the Silkie chickens we have in our classroom. We even keep chicken diaries! It’s fun learning how they grow.
I also like how everyone is kind and helps each other when you’re feeling sad, so school always feels happy.
I’ve been at Geelong Grammar since Prep, so it’s been seven years now! The best part of school for me has definitely been all the sports. I love APS sports every week, and I’ve even gone to regionals for swimming and athletics a few times.
The teachers here are amazing—everyone is so welcoming. I recently became House Captain and Sports Captain, which was really exciting because I get to share my passion for sports with everyone.
I’ve been a student at Toorak Campus for two years now. Before that, I was at school in China where I had already learned English so joining a new school wasn’t too hard for me.
The best part about Geelong Grammar School is how friendly everyone is—people smile at you, even if they don’t know you! I love maths and swimming, and the school’s big oval, gardens, and pool are really fun.
Since coming here, I’ve definitely become more confident and brave to try new things.
I’ve been at Geelong Grammar School since I was in ELC, and now I’m in Year 2.
My favorite thing at school is the sandpit – I love playing there. My teacher is really kind, and she teaches us Maths and writing, which is fun. I also really enjoy my piano lessons, and I think I’m pretty good at it.
What makes my school special is that all the teachers are so kind to me.
I joined Geelong Grammar in Year 4, and it’s been a really nice experience. Everyone here is so kind, and the activities are fun.
One of my favorite events was our Year 6 PYP Exhibition, where I dressed as Harry Potter. The teachers are not only kind but also really intelligent, and I’ve enjoyed learning subjects like Maths and Art.
Coming from a school in China, I find this school more engaging, with its big oval, playground, and outdoor activities. I feel very welcomed here!
I’m a boarder at Corio. I really like the close friendships that you can make here. You form really close friendships because you live so close together and it is like a family. It’s very much like a second home for me; a place to come back to where there are always people to support me. I did have homesickness, but it really made me feel better to know that there was someone that I could go to.
I live in The Kimberley in Western Australia, so I have been pretty isolated growing up. I really like the fact that I have the opportunity to mix with other students, play sport and have lessons at the school. There is always a lot to do. I try to have the attitude of no regrets. There are so many opportunities to do a lot of things here so I try to have a go at everything.
I started Kinder at Bostock House. I love getting to meet new people and I have lots of friends here.
I love the teachers, they are really nice. Sometimes I’m too tired to get up, but I like coming to school and I enjoy it everyday. I love the monkey bars and I play downball a lot too. I love writing – sometimes I write a full page, or even two pages. It’s my favourite job here.
At Corio, we have so many different people from so many different places. I really like the fact that I get to broaden my friendship group and have that opportunity to meet a variety of people that you wouldn’t normally find in a day school.
Boarding is really fun. I’m an only child and it’s a bit like having a bunch of older siblings. It’s hard to get bored because there is always something going on.
I really like visual art, drama and sports as well. I do rowing which is really good. I like how we have the opportunity to be mixed with older and younger years levels, it’s really fun to have that opportunity to be in crews with different people.
The thing I like most about Bostock House are the teachers. They make learning fun and they know how to help me. We learn through games, and riddles, and movies, and stuff that I’m interested in. We’re always encouraged to try our best. I enjoy doing drama, PE and piano, and sometimes choir too.
We’re taught compassion in action here too. It means that you are kind to others, and you do it, rather than just think about it. Everyone is nice here. No-one else is better than anyone, no-one brags, and that’s a good thing.
You’re never bored at Corio, you’re always doing something.
Coming from Cootamundra, NSW, I just really enjoy the activities we do here. After school I play cricket, have music lessons, go for runs and ride my bike, and on weekends they take us out to do fun stuff in Geelong and Melbourne.
The teachers help us a lot and are always there for us – to help us in Prep, or to get to sleep, or just when we need to talk to someone.
I really like Bostock House. I love how I get to see lots of my friends. And I also get to meet new friends and new people. I like PE the best because I get to do running around and throwing the ball. I wish that we had a Sunday school, then I’d get to play with my friends even more.
I started in Prep. I love it how I know everybody in this school and I like playing with all of them. I like doing drama and sport and maths. At lunch, I play on the basketball court and I play downball a lot. I know everyone here.
