Geelong College. This is a different school from Geelong Grammar, though the two have often been confused. Indeed, Geelong College has sometimes been accused of deliberately using the confusion to attract pupils – Geelong Grammar was a much more prestigious school in the late 19th Century (even though the College achieved better results academically) and again in the 1960s and 1970s (after Prince Charles spent two terms at the Grammar).
