History

Following the closure of the first Geelong Grammar, Campbell established a committee to found a new Presbyterian school. On 8 July 1861, Geelong College was officially established. The school year later started with an enrolment of 62. George Morrison was appointed the first

services, when required, were provided at All Saints Church on Noble St. Presbyterian Services however, were transferred to St David’s Church in 1962. The Geelong College Chapel was dedicated on 8 March 1989 as the centre of the school's spiritual life. It was formerly the school’s House of Music, designed by Philip Hudson, built 1936 and opened in 1937. Land was acquired in 1946 for a new preparatory campus, which did not open until 1960. This particular campus became co-educational in 1974, with co-education being extended to the senior campus in 1975. The college undertook an extensive redevelopment and refurbishment of the middle school, which is on the preparatory campus, in 2012. In 2015, Principal Andrew Barr resigned after he was photographed watching adult pornography in his office.
