Mentone College:
“The story of one new pupil illustrates this. One February, a boy of twelve from a grazing property in the Riverina stepped out of the cab for his first day at Mentone College. Turning around, he saw the blue of Port Phillip Bay a couple of hundred yards away through the trees. His curiosity ran riot as he sprinted over the road to the cliffs to gaze on the wonder of the sea for the first time. When he eventually got back to school McCristal gave him “the cuts” for being out of bounds without permission!”
