Edition 37, 1 February 2019
From the Headmaster Welcome Back Welcome back to the 2019 school year! A special welcome to all of you who are new to Camberwell Grammar School, and I hope that you will all feel a part of our learning community very soon. I would like to thank all staff involved in the vacation activities, our students are very fortunate that our teachers are prepared to give their vacation time to provide such rich and rewarding experiences. Our year began well on Tuesday with two intensive but very productive Professional Development Days for all staff, and with students returning to School yesterday. It has already been a busy first week! Last night we hosted an Information Evening and a Welcome Back Drinks function for Junior School parents, and tonight we have Welcome Back Drinks for Middle School parents in the Camberwell Room in the Sports Centre at 6.30pm. Our Senior School Welcome Back Evening will also be held at the same venue on Friday 8 February at 6.30pm. These functions are an excellent way to meet other parents and to discover important information about the year ahead. I am very grateful the members of our Parents’ Association who organise and host our welcome back functions each year. We value greatly the support we receive from our parent support groups and I thank them for the warm welcome they extend to all families at the beginning of each year.
Welcome to Indra I am very pleased to welcome a new member to our community, a beautiful golden Labrador called Indra. Indra is an Ambassador dog for the Guide Dogs Association of Victoria. She will live with Mr Dayan Ramalingam and his family, however she will visit our School daily. Her ‘base’ will be in Reception and our Health Centre, and students will be able to visit her and take her for walks at recess and lunchtimes. It will be great to have her around and I am sure the students will enjoy having this additional ‘staff member’ as part of our family.
Information Evenings As outlined in my recent email to the whole school community, may I remind you of the upcoming dates for our information evenings: Year 12 Information Night and Parent Education Evening On Monday 4 February in the Performing Arts Centre commencing at 7.00pm, there will be a Year 12 Information Evening followed by a presentation at 8.00pm by our guest speaker, Adolescent Psychologist, Mr Andrew Fuller. Year 11 Student and Parents Information Evening On Wednesday 6 February in the Performing Arts Centre commencing at 7.00pm. The purpose of the evening is to provide an explanation of the structure, procedures and rules of the VCE, and to suggest some strategies which the School, from its previous experience, believes will help to make this year successful in every sense. Head of House and House Tutor Evening On Wednesday 6 February at 7.00pm, there will be an opportunity for Year 9 parents and parents of new boys to the Senior School (Years 10-12) to meet their son’s Head of House and Tutor. Although it is a busy time of year, I encourage as many parents as possible to attend these Information Evenings as they will provide parents with information about the year, including school expectations and arrangements.
Grammarian The Grammarian was distributed after Assembly yesterday, and students should have brought home one copy per family. All 2018 Year 12 students will be posted a copy of The Grammarian. If your family did not receive a copy, please pick one up from the Development Office.

Uniforms and Presentation At the beginning of each new school year I ask for the support of our parents in ensuring that all students are properly attired, and that their hair is neat and tidy and in keeping with the guidelines set out from page 24 of our School Diary. I ask those few students who need to take some action about their hair, shoes, or belts to do so as a matter of urgency. It may be that some boys are asked to return home until they are able to get an appropriate haircut. Heads of House will be the final arbiters of what is considered ‘appropriate’! Our students have an excellent reputation in the community for the way that they wear their uniform and I am keen to ensure that we maintain this. I would also like to remind parents that it is important that the correct school sports uniform is worn when having a Physical Education lesson or competing in sporting events (p.26/27 in the School Diary). Our students represent us in the way they behave and also in the care they take with their appearance when they compete with students from other schools in sporting competitions and it is important that we give a very good impression.
Immunisation Program 2019 This year’s Immunisation schedule will include the Year 7 HPV (Human Papillomavirus Vaccine – Gardisil9) – and the Boostrix (Diptheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough) Vaccine. The first round will be on Thursday 14 February and the second round on Thursday 15 August. For Year 10 students, The Department of Health and Human Services Victoria recommend the Meningococcal ACWY - Menactra vaccination, and this will be provided to Year 10 students this year by the City of Boroondara Immunisation Service on Thursday 14 February. Consent cards will be sent home in the first week of term and need to be returned by Thursday 7 February, even if your son is not being vaccinated. A timely return of consent cards means that your son will not miss out on these vaccinations. If you have any queries regarding our school vaccination program, please feel free to contact our Student Health Coordinator, Ms Rhonda Nicholson on 9835 1777 or shc@cgs.vic.edu.au.
Summer Sport Season Captains and Vice Captains Congratulations to the following students who have been appointed as Swimming Captains and Vice Captains for the Summer Sport Season: Captains: Jack Amling, Corey McCabe and Max Foulds. Vice Captains: Jasper Fodor, Peter Zhao and Matthew Bryson.
Academic Excellence and Scholars of the School At the beginning of each year we awarded Certificates of Academic Excellence to Students in Years 10 and 11 on the basis that their academic results from the end of last year. Certificates are awarded to students in the top 10% of their Year Group. At Year 12, Scholar’s badges are awarded to the top 10% of our students based on their work in Semester 2 last year. A further group of Scholars may be appointed at the middle of the year. I was pleased to announce the following recipients at yesterday’s Assembly:

University of Melbourne Kwong Lee Dow Scholars In addition, two of our current Year 11 students, Rhys Campbell and Matthew Wu were successful in being awarded a Kwong Lee Dow Scholarship from the University of Melbourne. This is an academic enrichment program designed to support high-achieving Year 11 and Year 12 Victorian secondary school students. While still at school, the program offers opportunities for participation in workshops and seminars, and students will be able to interact with the University and with other Kwong Lee Dow Scholars.
Monash Scholars Program Monash University also presents scholarship awards to students in Year 11. Their program, which is ongoing over Years 11 and 12, aims to build a personal network of peers and academics that will last through to university. Based on mid-year results from 2018, Year 11 students Tory Crosgrove, Jamie Garnham and Sonny Wang were selected as Monash Scholars for 2018-2020. Page 2

Kenneth Atock Memorial Scholarship Congratulations to Henry Smith (Year 11) who is the recipient of the Kenneth Atock Memorial Scholarship for Science. This scholarship was given to the school in a bequest from Mr Kenneth Atock, an old boy, and is awarded to students for their academic performance in the Sciences, to promote and encourage scientific education with the emphasis upon studies of outer space and rocketry amongst scholars attending Camberwell Grammar School. In light of Henry’s consistent high-level academic performances in Science last year he is a most worthy recipient of this scholarship. Year 12 Scholars

Mathematics Assistance We will again provide regular after-hours Mathematics assistance to any boy who would like additional assistance with their mathematics. A Mathematics teacher will be available every Tuesday and Wednesday from 3.30pm to 4.15pm in W318, in the Wheelton Centre commencing Week 2. The after-school classes provide an opportunity for boys to speak to a Mathematics teacher, not necessarily his own one, about any issues of concern or to have a difficulty cleared up on a one to one basis. These after school classes are not just for those for whom Mathematics is customarily a difficult subject. They are for boys of all levels of ability in Years 9, 10, 11 or 12 to use whenever they would like additional individual assistance. The Middle School also offers morning Mathematics assistance. Lunchtime assistance can also be arranged by students with their teachers. If your son would like assistance with any aspect of his studies, please encourage him to contact his Subject or Form Teacher to facilitate this process.
Cabrini Malvern’s Emergency Department Camberwell Grammar School have entered into an agreement with Cabrini Malvern’s Emergency Department, who will provide any student attending Camberwell Grammar School with a 50% discount on their attendance fee, a saving of $250. The offer does not include any further expenses such as X-rays and blood tests. Also, should your son need to be admitted to hospital, he will require private health cover. This offer will cover your son 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Further information is available on the flyer attached to this Bulletin.
Term Dates 2109 Term dates for 2019 have now been finalised and details are given in the box below. I do respectfully ask that all school families take these into account when planning overseas and interstate trips during 2019. Whilst it is unavoidable that, from time to time, some parents do have to ask permission for their sons to leave early at the end of a term or arrive late at the beginning of a new term, it is so much better if students have the minimum absence from school so that they can benefit as fully as possible from the teaching program.

Middle School Start of Year Welcome back to all parents and boys for the 2019 school year. I trust that the holidays provided a good opportunity for some rest and relaxation and that all are fit and healthy as we commence the new year. The William Angliss Building came to life on Thursday, when our Middle School (MS) returned from holidays, including over 130 new boys wearing Camberwell Grammar School’s (CGS) 133 year old school uniform for their first time. Whilst the material and design has changed, the school motto (Spectemur Agendo) and all that it entails will help to shape our boys during their time here. I congratulate all of our new boys on the poise and maturity that they approached the start of their Camberwell Grammar journey. I trust that this is the start of a long and successful association with the School. Our returning boys also made an impressive start and I thank the many boys who have so warmly welcomed new boys and staff to the school. Your acts of kindness go a long way to strengthening our community. Camberwell is a very busy place, with boundless opportunities to share, learn and grow. Those who are feeling a little overwhelmed in the early stages, need to know that they are not alone and time will allow these emotions to settle.
Friday Afternoons This term we are focusing on House Athletics and House Competition Round Robins as part of our Friday afternoon program. Finishing times will vary depending on the activity.
Year 8 Camp
All Year 8 boys will have access to an online form, which includes camp information and parental consent, regarding the Overnight Surf Camp. Next week’s camp provides the boys with a wonderful opportunity to bond with their new classmates and Form Teacher. The beachside locations are idyllic and the activities are always incredibly popular, with the surf lessons a major highlight. It is imperative that these forms are completed online and submitted by Tuesday 5 February.
Year 8 Outdoor Education This program begins for Year 8 in Week 3. Boys will have the opportunity to select two options throughout the year. One in Term 1, the other in Term 3. Given the limited places, not all boys will get their first preferences. Information will be made available on Schoology prior to the selection day next Tuesday at 8.30am in Form Period. • Horse Riding • Indoor Rock Climbing • Off-Road Bike Riding (Basic) • Rowing • Sailing • White Water Kayaking Queries regarding Outdoor Ed or Camps can be directed to Mr Rhys Thomas ret@CGS.vic.edu.au.
Welcome Back Drinks I am hoping to see many of our Middle School parents at our Welcome Back Drinks, which is being held tonight in the Camberwell Room, commencing at 6:30pm. The evening is very relaxed and provides a great opportunity to meet with and speak to other Middle School parents.
Uniform Requirements in Term 1 I spoke to the boys this morning about uniform requirements in Term 1. The blazer is optional, except on special occasions such as next week’s photograph day. All boys are encouraged to wear a cap or hat at recess and lunchtime unless they are playing in the shaded Atrium area. The boys should also wear their caps when they have PE lessons or sport training sessions. Boys now have the option to wear short or long socks available from the Uniform Shop. The boys are permitted wear PE uniform to school if they have PE in the first period of the day. They are able to go home in their sports uniform on days when they have PE classes in the afternoon or sports training after school. Boys must get changed into school uniform at the end of their PE lesson at all other times. Boys can wear runners at lunch for games in the Sports Centre and are permitted to change into PE attire at this time. This is always a popular option if the boys have PE in period 6. We encourage boys to take great pride in the way the school uniform is worn and cared for.
Annual Photos Form and individual portrait photos will be taken on Monday 4 February. Boys will need their blazer on this day. Please refer to the school’s policy regarding neat and tidy haircuts. Page 4

Junior School The New School Year It is great to be back in session and if the enthusiasm of the boys and staff is anything to go by, we are in for a splendid year. I enjoyed the opportunity to greet and meet boys and parents as they made their way into school on the first day and look forward to enjoying the year with you and your sons. I also extend a special welcome to all new boys and their families. It won’t be long before the boys feel settled and have a real sense of belonging at their new school. At the conclusion of our Opening Assembly yesterday the boys lined the footpath leading to the Junior School and greeted the new staff and students with a handshake and a welcome. In the words of the song “Consider Yourself” sung at the Assembly, the boys can “Consider themselves well in”. I look forward to working together to develop the home/school partnership that enables our boys to realize their very best. A key to our success is keeping the channels of communication open. The Weekly Bulletin is sent each Friday by email to all families. The Bulletin is our way of letting you know what has, and what will be happening around our school. Each Junior School class has a web page, accessed through the parent portal, that allows us to share the daily life of the classroom, the boys and their achievements, as well as providing information and resources for parents. Please make a point of visiting the web page regularly. We will also send home notices related to school events and excursions. Your attention to these and prompt return of any reply slips is greatly appreciated. Lost notices related to school events and excursions can also be accessed through the website. The other prime means of communication is the student diary, which is a good means of getting a message to or from school. We ask that it is checked and signed daily. Let’s stay connected as we enjoy this year together. As mentioned at the Welcome Back evening Mrs Emmett, Junior School Librarian currently on long service leave, is moving to the country, and Ms Ariela Nucci, Junior School Art, is keen to return to teaching at the secondary level. Both will leave at the end of term to pursue their aspirations and, while sorry to see them go, we are grateful for all they have brought to our school and wish them every happiness in their next adventure.
