[edit] Notes

I have removed the Houses section until we can fill out all the Senior School houses. I have also removed the boarding section. --MDGDave 04:16, 6 October 2005 (UTC) -- Now fixed. Infobox has been added using template from Caulfield Grammar School article.

[edit] Alumni

I've moved the alumni list here for now. First of all, it's unwieldy in length and I don't know why, but people have written job titles, awards etc into the brckets. Some of these people have articles under their actual names, but they're showing up as red links because the formatting. Personally, I think this section is out-of-control with people regularly adding new names which seem to be not particularly notable past students. In addition, most seem to be completely unverifiable. We've also got some former students whose first names we don't know...which begs the question how we know they were students at Geelong College? Either we lose the list completely (my preference because it seems unmaintainable) or it needs to be worked on here to make verifiable and correctly formatted.
