GGS 9/177 def CY 176 Robinson pushes a ball through the covers and GGS erupt in celebration, what a performance across the board and what fight shown all weekend by Both sides. With this GGS secure the APS premiership title, couldn’t be more proud of these young men @APS_Sport

And well done to fellow 1st XVIII co-captain, Noah Long, on being selected with pick 58 by the @WestCoastEagles in this year’s #AFLDraft. Noah overcame an injury-interrupted season to perform very well for Vic Country at the National Championships, as well as when leading GGS.

Congratulations to our 2022 Boys’ 1st Football co-captain Ollie Hollands on being drafted by @CarltonFC with pick 11 in tonight’s #AFLDraft. Ollie won our Boys’ 1st XVIII best and fairest award and earned All Australian honours for his performances with Vic Country this year.

“I acknowledge the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and extend our School community’s deepest sympathies to her immediate family. May Queen Elizabeth’s example of stewardship, service and sacrifice remain an inspiration,” our Principal, Rebecca Cody, said in an address this morning.

YTG! 🌟 Our 4x100m relay team of Mia Gross, Bree Masters, Jacinta Beecher and Naa Anang have qualified for tomorrow's final! @CommGamesAUS #ThisIsAthletics #BoldInGold

Good luck to past student Mia Gross (OGG’19) as she makes her senior Australian team debut this evening in the heats for the Women’s 4x100m relay at the #CommonwealthGames. Australia is in heat 2, which will take place at around 9.20pm AEST.

First game, first win and first hanger for Jai Serong (OGG’21) with @HawthornFC.

@geelongcollege The day concluded with the Boys’ 1st Footy fixture, which was a low-scoring affair w/ a little bit of everything (including a behind post being uprooted by a Year 11 student, who came away unscathed). Our 1sts prevailed by four points; the Derby winning streak now sits at eight.

In a clash of two top-four teams, the @geelongcollege 1st Netball team prevailed in front of a fantastic Handbury Centre crowd. The elements played a big part for those teams playing outside at the Bender Centre.

A Derby Day thread @APS_Sport @geelongcollege … The day began bright and early for our Girls’ 1st Hockey, kicking off the day’s proceedings at 8.15am at the Bender Centre. The team secured their second win of the season and enjoyed every minute of it.

Our School Captains, Caitie & Harry, visited @geelongcollege on Wednesday to extend an invitation to their TGC counterparts for tomorrow’s Derby Day at Corio Campus. The pair addressed assembly at TGC ahead of what will be a wonderful day of friendly competition.

It’s not quite four seasons in one day but, in the space of six hours, Corio Campus has been coated with frost, shrouded in fog and bathed in sunshine.

The first episode of Off Country premieres tonight on NITV at 8pm AEST. The documentary series follows seven Indigenous students at GGS during what proved to be a tumultuous 2020. The series will be available for streaming through SBS On Demand.

Brilliant news for Year 12 student Georgia Gall! Georgia, who has spent the past two seasons with the Melbourne Stars in the WBBL, is just the second Geelong Grammar School student to be drafted by an AFLW club.

Congratulation to our Girls’ 1st Football on winning a nail-biting derby clash against The Geelong College last night. In a match highlighted by some incredible last-ditch defending from both teams, GGS was able to repel one last attack from TGC to secure victory in fading light.

Congratulations Oskar (OGG’21)! After excelling with the Bendigo Pioneers in the NAB League and the Geelong Cats VFL side in the first half of 2022, Oskar was drafted by the Suns with Pick 7 in last night’s mid-season AFL draft.

On Wednesday our Principal, Rebecca Cody, visited Toorak Campus to read ‘Family Tree’ to our primary students as part of National Simultaneous Storytime. The book was read to more than 2 million children across the country. #NSS2022
