Geo-location[1] ArchitectKen Edmonds and AssociatesDate opened21st March 1992
The 32-year-old dream of a swimming pool for Carey came true with the official opening of The Geoffrey Stevens Swimming Pool Complex at Bulleen on Saturday 21st March 1992.
This magnificent facility incorporates a spectator area overlooking the eight lane main pool, and a separate diving pool with one metre and three-metre diving boards.
Mr H.G. (Geoffrey) Stevens, after whom the pool is named, has been closely associated with Carey since the 1960s. Apart from his work as a member of the School Council from 1966 to 1975, he has made a remarkable contribution to the School's fundraising activities. Under Mr Eric Dunshea's Presidency, he was General Chairman of the Forward Carey appeal (1960) and a section chairman in the Onward Carey appeal (1969).

He was Chairman of the newly formed Foundation Board from 1984 to 1988 and played a major role in providing the impetus which led to the funding at Bulleen of The Gerard Cramer Physical Education Centre and The Geoffrey Stevens Swimming Pool Complex.
It is very fitting, therefore, that his many years of valuable service to Carey should be honoured in this way.
