because many old collegians return to live in rural Victoria and NSW, maintaining a stand-alone team has proven difficult. Since 2011 the Old Collegians team has participated in the VAFL as Prahran Football Club. The team has been successful as it won Division 2 in 2018 and is currently playing in Division 1. The College Song When Shandon Calls (The lyrics to the school song were composed by C J Dennis (1876-1938) and relate to the original school bell which had come from a ship, the Shandon, which first sailed from Glasgow in 1883.) Awake, awake, when Shandon rings into the crisp Australian air. Be glad or grave the tale it brings, we shall be there, we must be there. When duty calls, when pleasure waits, the tongue of Shandon, day by day, Peals out the message of the fates that guide our dear old A.C.K. Refrain A.C.K, strive for its high renown, boys, A.C.K , never let it down, boys, A.C.K , honour to it come what may, It shall ever be our aim to battle for the fame, And the glory of the A.C.K For friends, for friends, Old Shandon's peal cements a friendship well begun; And thro' the years, for woe or weal, its note shall guide us everyone. When wide afar our footsteps roam, mid strangers on a distant day, Dear mem'ries of our home from home shall bind us still to A.C.K Refrain Notable alumni Until the 1970s, the total enrolments for nearly half a century averaged only 300 boys so the original ACK was not a large school. In addition, many students left school before Year 12 to return to assist their families on rural properties. Religious life. Over 130 Old Collegians have been ordained as priests and bishops. These include Bishops Hugh Ryan, Peter Connors, Noel Daly and Peter De Campo. Many of the priests have become well-known to Australians because of their community service including Mons Jim Hannan, Fr Paul Keenan SJ, Fr John Brosnan and Fr Michael Elligate AM. Arts, philosophy, politics, law. Prominent Old Collegians in these fields include Professor Bill Aughterson (education), Professor Max Charlesworth (philosophy), Mr Jack Keenan QC (law) and Mr Damian Drum MP and Mr Sam Birrell MP(politics).
