==Sport==

Rowing is considered by many to be the school's most celebrated sport, although a subculture considers it overhyped; the Ballarat Associated Schools (BAS) crews compete in the annual "Head of the Lake" (also known simply as "Boat Race"), which has recently been held at [[Lake Nagambie]]. The school has also performed very well in athletics and cross country events. The school is reknowned in the country for buying out sport students. Figures can often lead to $50,000 +. For some reason they didn't buy me out which makes me ANGRY!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And gumby is fat

Line 72:

Other houses have also developed reputations, some known to students and others to the wider community.

Robin-Cuthbert has a strong pastoral careporn tradition, which has led to it being the house of choice for many parents who have children with special needs.

Krome-Butler tend to dominate sporting activities (Butler have won the swimming sports for 12 years running and the athletics sports for 8), which may be explained partially by the fact that their reputation has led to parents requesting their athletic gifted child be placed in those houses. They also buy out students.

Boarding houses tend to excell in performance-based competitions.

Smith-Manifold has a very strong link to the support of charities. Much of this characterised after their heavy involvement with 'Noopsi Badges'. Special badges, made by HIV positive mothers to be sold to raise awareness, and to provide a much needed income. Billy Bishop often screws up when making speeches for charities. He is a freak and has a weird shaped head.
