BADMINTON (Sport)
A report in the 1983 Pegasus mentions Badminton as being played in a Tuesday night competition amongst local schools. In 1991 Pegasus recorded that Badminton had been played for five years and had earned recognition as a ‘legitimate’ summer sport that year.
Geelong College commenced participating in both the boys and girls APS Badminton competition in 1999.
