Defying the Odds
First, I'd like to acknowledge the Gunditjmara people as the traditional owners of the lands on which The Hamilton and Alexandra College sits today.Second, it is a great pleasure to write an introduction to Mr Neil MacLean's comprehensive history of our school. The Hamilton and Alexandra College has been fortunate to have a chronicler blessed with a sympathetic eye for the detail of historical events as well as the great sweep of themes writ large. We are blessed to have our story told by Neil, an inspiring schoolteacher whose commitment and dedication to College over forty-three years was loyalty personified.The contribution that the College continues to make to the Greater Hamilton community and Western District of Victoria is a great source of pride and I am confident that, as we celebrate our sesquicentennial year, the College will continue to be a force for good in our society.I trust you will enjoy reading and learning of the figures and events that have formed the basis for College's distinguished and ever-changing story over the past one hundred and fifty years.
