Hello Doug, How does this numbering come about? Newport school has had number 113 since 1862 when all schools were renumbered: National, CofE, RC, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, etc. Are you sure of that number? Regards, Ada Ackerly, Newport Vic.

Hi Doug, This list could be misleading (apart from Ada's valid comment about School 113) as it appears to focus on schools with the word "Geelong" in them - some of these are some distance from the main town centre and there are plenty of other schools in between or nearby that are omitted. And can you also clarify by this list not being in Vision & Realisation? They're all there from what I can see except for the first one. Puzzled .........
