For the first time in three years, we have been able to complete a full year at school! No lockdowns, no curfews, no limits on the number of people who could gather together. And we were able to return to the classroom and reduce our dependence on online learning. We have had to readjust to the rhythms and realities of being together again, and to the pace of life at our busy school.

This Grammarian, therefore, once again presents an insight into a full year at Camberwell Grammar School. All of the learning, the cocurricular programs, the student initiatives, the music and the art, the drama, and the sporting achievements are recorded in these pages. Most importantly it shows us all together again. We were able to return to Hamer Hall again for an extraordinary Concert, and to come together as an entire community at Open Day. Students, parents, and staff had the opportunity to be together again, to re-establish connections and friendships, and the sense of community – placed under pressure in the past two years – was able to flourish again.

Schools are much more than just buildings or learning programs. They are collections of people who spend time here for a while on a great quest. All of us here are on a mission to make the world a better place through education. We hope to give our

Welcome

students greater options in life, but we hope and expect too that they will go on to help to make the world a better place for others. In that way our impact can be like ripples in a pond, extending far beyond our initial work in the classroom. The Grammarian also provides a record of our students being good and doing good. It is a great place to be – and if the emotion and nostalgia displayed by our Year 12 leavers this year at their Valedictory Dinner is any indication, our students genuinely love their school and enjoy their time here.

A special thank you to Mrs Claire Denbury and Mrs Taryn Das Neves, who have carried the greatest burden in putting the Grammarian together. Chasing articles, gathering photographs, and editing this significant work is never easy. Thanks also to our Prefect in Charge of Publications, Ryan Le, for all he has done to promote writing in our school this year, and for chasing up articles and information. And thanks also to all staff and students who made written or photographic contributions – the Grammarian reflects the combined efforts of dozens of people –they should be very proud of the result.

Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

Editorial

Welcome to the 2022 Grammarian, where a seemingly endless journey of Camberwell Grammar’s most significant achievements are bundled together in a book for you to quench your curiosity for hours on end. This book, or rather collection of experiences and values, truly holds some of the best aspects of what a student here at Camberwell Grammar experiences throughout the year: a year without lockdowns; a year with our famous Hamer Hall Concert, and, especially, a year with the fourth season of Stranger Things. Certainly, with very minimal restriction, our Wellers were finally free to indulge themselves in a plethora of activities that were definitely longed for, such as weekend sports, House events, music, seeing their favourite teachers, and the conviviality and comradery of their mates.

This year, a value that I believe was exceptionally touched upon, was certainly the value of learning and expressing who we really are. As a Camberwell Grammarian, the School Values of Respect and Optimism have always been imbued within us, but this year, of all my years at the School, whilst watching the students roam from classroom to classroom at the highest year level, I’ve realized how far our bonded community has come in discovering and accepting what makes them unique. Whether it be trying new things, speaking out about values that they believe

in, supporting charities that strike a chord in them, or even choosing what they want to eat at the canteen, our Wellers have really enhanced the meaning of our many values that are instilled during their time at Camberwell Grammar; values that permeate these pages as you flick through and discover our students’ endless capacity for creation, enthusiasm, and determination.

For me and many of the Year 12s, nostalgia seems to seep through as the year’s end draws nearer. Nostalgia: a feeling that embodies both sadness and happiness about something you may miss or long to experience once more. For me personally, I still remember the day I entered Year 7 and the friends I made that day that have become some of the greatest friendships I will ever have for the rest of my life. Friendships that have helped me through thick and thin, and will forever define my life at Camberwell Grammar. School life inevitably brings about this feeling of nostalgia but, for many, the feeling of leaving school and entering the real world probably hasn’t quite settled in yet – a longing to stay in the comfortable, safe environment that they have spent the majority of their life in. But as the daunting mystery of university draws closer, an endless montage of memories starts to play that will, without a doubt, be forever placed in the dearest spots of our hearts.

As a final farewell, I’d like to thank the amazing team of individuals who have helped with the compilation, editing, and writing of all of the remarkable publications this year that have really been a delight to oversee and contribute towards.

Ryan Le Prefect for Publications

‘For me personally, I still remember the day I entered Year 7 and the friends I made that day that have become some of the greatest friendships I will ever have for the rest of my life.’

PREFECTS

The past year has seen a dramatic change of pace from the at-home learning and activities that controlled the last two years. The School community has reacted with enthusiasm and excitement which reflects our own eagerness to resume our full school lives. In all facets of the School, students, staff, and parents have come together once more to put on a fantastically hectic and enjoyable year for the whole community.

The School, after four long years of waiting, was finally able to gather at Hamer Hall for our not-so-Biennial Concert, which for many was their first. Leaving the world of online rehearsals and recordings firmly behind us, the work of the Junior, Middle, and Senior Schools in their rehearsals culminated in one of Camberwell Grammar’s best-ever concerts – wrapped up by a long-awaited and earth-shattering rendition of Chess. Everyone left the night with broad smiles and a reminder to ‘always look on the bright side of life’. So much of Camberwell Grammar’s culture is intertwined with the musical pursuits within the School, and it was a night that will live on in our memories for years to come.

Along with many of the extra-curricular activities that were able to resume this year, the Year 12 cohort was provided a perfect break from our studies with our formal. Dressed sharply, we flocked to Leonda on the Yarra by car, limousine, bus, and boat to enjoy a night of music, questionable dancing, and good company. Everyone in our year level is extremely grateful to all those whose efforts made the night possible, following the previous years’ cohorts missing out on such a fun and momentous occasion.

Student Leadership

The School Prefect team also took full advantage of the year, with all eight Houses putting on a House charity event in a landmark achievement. The events included a Dodgeball, Basketball, and street Soccer competition, as well as a mysteriously melted gelati day, and the School’s first-ever Clash Royale competition. Overall, the House charities raised more than $10,000, and marked one of the most successful years of House fundraising ever. Despite the rigour of running these numerous events, we still made time to revive old traditions and rivalries, travelling to Camberwell Girls’ Grammar School and Strathcona to engage in fierce but friendly games of netball, and raise money for charity in the process. Our Junior School Student Leadership executive enjoyed working in Norge after being elected in Term 1 to represent the School. The team worked on initiatives that saw over $1,000 raised for local food charities and increased the sustainable use of soft plastics in the community with tenacity and a strong passion for helping others.

House events returned once again after a long break, and it was clear from the beginning that it would be a tightly contested fight between all the Houses. The opening House event, House Music, held once again in the open-air Amphitheatre, did not fail to fill the School with its elegant melodies, and this was reflected in the judges having a hard time splitting the Houses, resulting in the contentious first-ever three-way tie. The rest of the year paralleled this opening act, with the House Swimming, Multi-Sport, and Cross Country being fiercely contested, reflecting the excitement of the Camberwell Grammar community to once again be competing against their mates after an extensive two-year hiatus.

The commonality that all of us share shone through this year and we were reminded of the true value in undertaking our endeavours at this school: undertaking them together. We look back to appreciate all the great things that happen here and have nothing but pride for all the great work that has been done.

As Captains, we would both like to thank the School for the opportunity to serve and represent the Camberwell Grammar community this year, and wish the 2023 Prefect team all the best as we pass them the baton.

JUNIOR SCHOOL EXECUTIVE

The All Souls Chapel stands in the centre of our school, both physically and spiritually. The School Values – Learning, Respect, Integrity, Courage, and Optimism – are all values upheld by Christianity, reflected in the spiritual dimensions of faith, worship, and service within the daily activities of school life. This year in the Chapel, Senior students reflected on the value of Respect. Using the words and actions of Jesus and the examples of other people of faith, students have been encouraged to reflect upon their own worldview, examine what respect looks like through their lens, and be challenged as to how they extend respect to others, particularly those on the fringes of society. We have heard from organisations such as HoMie, Asylum Seekers Resource Centre, Indigenous Literacy Foundation, and Operation Toilets Australia, who are all working to bring about dignity and respect to people in our own community as well as those overseas.

The weekly Middle School Chapel services have been well attended and it is most encouraging to hear the buzz of the students arriving each Friday morning. Through word, song, media, and inclusive dialogue, we have been tackling issues together in order to make sense of this complex and sometimes confusing world and to assist the students in critically assessing the values that compete for their attention. As an alternative to the noise of the world, these weekly Chapel services seek to facilitate a sense of connectedness with God and each other, a commitment to the service of others, and a responsibility to care for the environment. Middle School contributed offerings during Chapel services to support the rebuilding of the Lismore Library and bags of groceries for Anglicare’s ‘Bring a Bag’ appeal.

Throughout the year, there have been many moments of celebration, particularly as we come together physically after the two previous years of lockdowns. We have also mourned the death of people within, as well as those known, to the community, and also remembered with great sorrow those who lost their lives in recent years. At such times, the All Souls Chapel becomes a focal point for reflection, prayer, and support. This has been a great privilege.

It has been a great pleasure and honour to join the Camberwell Grammar community as Chaplain this year. I have been most warmly welcomed and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know students, staff, and families. I have been overwhelmed by the incredible sense of community that exists within the School

All Souls Chapel

and I look forward to this journey continuing. I have been most grateful for the diligence of the prayer warriors in the Parent Prayer group, who meet on a regular basis to pray earnestly for our school and all who belong to it. Their faithfulness and support have been so appreciated.

May His grace, love, and peace be with you and yours.

Mrs Janine de Paiva Chaplain

Junior Chapel

Beginning Term 2 and 3 with a service in the All Souls Chapel is a highlight for Junior School staff and students. You can’t help but appreciate the wonders of creation as you are soaking in the light coming through the stained-glass windows in this wonderful contemplative space.

Our Term 2 Chapel service looked at the reconciliation theme of ‘Be brave. Make change’, where we learnt that it is about strengthening relationships, acknowledging mistakes, learning from our past, and being brave enough to make the changes we need to move forward.

In Term 3, we looked at the God of possibilities, where with God’s help all things are possible. Inspired by the different characters in the Bible who God used to do extraordinary things, and a visit from Alex, from ‘Alex Makes Meals,’ an organisation providing free meals for those in need in Melbourne, students and staff were encouraged to consider that if they could do anything for the greater good of the world, what would they do? It has been wonderful to see the response. The students raised a significant amount of money through a book and toy fair, which went to Alex Makes Meals, the whole of Junior School is now recycling soft plastics, and many families have been packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes for children in need in our neighbouring third world countries.

It is wonderful to see the impact the Junior School is having on helping our caring for each other and those in our wider community.

Mrs Natalie Rice Junior School Chaplain

Faith and Social Justice

Throughout the course of 2022, the Camberwell Grammar community has been healing from the impacts of the past two years spent in lockdown. Having our first full school year since 2020, uninterrupted by the unpredictable movements of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have had the privilege to experience the true Camberwell Grammar culture return, as our community has grown closer together throughout the year. To see students running around at lunchtime, enjoying the amazing facilities on offer, and sharing a laugh with their mates, is something that I will truly miss.

This year, many students supported The Salvation Army’s signature fundraising drive, The Red Shields Appeal. In order to raise funds for the Salvation Army to offer their wrap-around, holistic support to people facing homelessness, family and domestic violence, addiction, financial hardship, and disaster and emergency situations, many students gathered on the streets of their local suburbs, doorknocking and seeking to call on the generosity of our neighbours. Personally, it was a blessing to physically witness the gracious nature of those who donated. Walking the streets of Canterbury, Alec McDougall and myself were overwhelmed by the willingness of complete strangers to support a virtuous cause. Being able to help people in less fortunate positions was an amazing opportunity for my role this year.

Likewise, the House charity fundraisers have also raised significant funds for charities of the students’ choice. These events have given the Houses opportunities to donate to unique charities which hold a special place in our community’s heart

The creative initiative shown by the different Houses has created an exciting atmosphere and buzz within the School. Events have ranged from Soccer and Basketball tournaments to the teacher vs student Great Debate, and even a Clash Royal tournament and the broad range of activities have drawn significant funds to their respective causes.

The Rotary Interact Club, which meets every Thursday at lunchtime, has continued to provide its humble services to our community this year. With many selfless students giving up their time to discuss

how to raise funds for those who find themselves in less fortunate positions, the Club has made substantial contributions to address contemporary needs in society. An organisation that the Rotary Interact group has assisted this year is Operation Toilets Australia. The funds raised towards this not-for-profit organisation have helped construct toilets and promote hygiene education programs in schools of developing countries.

Another event that has brought the community together, was the House Chapel services held throughout the year. With a focus on respect, the leaders of each House were able to come together and discuss the role that faith has in our search to become a more respectful generation. With help from Mrs de Paiva, each House came together to deliver meaningful messages, encouraging the students to apply respect in the everyday components of life.

The Mustard Group continued to meet on Thursday lunchtime, encouraging members to explore their faith and develop a personal walk with God. The group held a sausage sizzle at lunchtime in Term 4, as they sought to expand their resources and the awareness of this group, inspiring Christian faith in the School community.

It has been a great blessing to experience the community rebuilding after two years of hardship, and I wish Connor Inston, next year’s Prefect of Faith and Social Justice, all the best with the year ahead of him.

Joshua Davidson Prefect of Faith and Social Justice

Junior and Middle School Liaison

When we started the year, Covid-19 was still a concern and we didn’t know what lay ahead but we hoped for a full uninterrupted year of school. Fortunately, the year was lockdown-free, allowing for school as we know it to return to normal and Camberwell Grammar’s inter-school community to begin to thrive, with links between the Junior, Middle, and Senior Schools being as strong as ever.

With an optimistic start to the year, the morning reading program was able to resume for the entirety of the year. Our 35 Senior School volunteers, spanning from Years 10 to 12, enabled our reading program to expand to not just Prep, Year 1, and Year 2 but Year 3 as well. The program allows younger students to form connections with older students in the School while developing their reading skills.

The biggest highlight for me in my role this year was having the opportunity to assist with the 100 Days of Prep celebrations. During this day, the Preps were able to take part in a number of activities ranging from arts and crafts to sport. This gave me personally a real opportunity to see all the Preps together and interact with them during the celebrations. Preps love to share,

and I learnt a variety of facts about each of them, such as their favourite hobbies and favourite flavoured ice cream.

Once the winter season rolled around, the First XVIII Football team dressed in their playing kit and ran various football-related activities for the Junior School. The Junior School students had the opportunity to dress up in their favourite team colours and get involved in some basic drills and skills.

After what was a successful year for all, I’d like to thank the Heads and Deputies of the Junior, Middle, and Senior Schools, as well as all the teachers and students who assisted me over the course of the year. I’d also like to acknowledge those Year 12 students, who despite being overwhelmed with their studies at times, were willing to give up their valuable time to assist and get involved enthusiastically with various programs. I loved every moment this year as Camberwell Grammar’s Junior and Middle School Liaison. I hope the activities and time spent with Senior School students this year will assist younger students in building connections as they transition through school in the future.

Finally, I would like to congratulate Sam Keenan on his appointment as Junior and Middle School Liaison for 2023. He has some great ideas and I look forward to hearing about them being implemented in the future to help further improve the culture between the three levels of the School. I know he’ll be great!

Ben Grlj Prefect for Middle and Junior School Liaison

Throughout 2022, Camberwell Grammar’s passionate Towards2050 group achieved a range of goals as we aimed to build a greener community. The group, supported by Mr Hone and Ms Massey, hosted some awesome events that helped promote our central concerns, raise money, and spark action on the broader environmental concerns facing our planet. While each student has their own interests – whether power, water, waste, or biodiversity – we had a general focus on waste this year.

One of the first major events we ran for the year was our annual Green Week at the end of Term 1, where we established our focus on waste. After months of planning, we were able to host a range of activities throughout the week, all aiming to educate and promote the serious impact wasteful actions cost the environment. Free pumpkin soup was available from the canteen, made from Camberwell Grammar’s home-grown pumpkins. We had a footy boot recycling initiative, free green cupcakes, a scavenger hunt that ran all week, and a lunchtime movie session showing War on Waste, a documentary by Craig Reucassel. This was all in the build-up to the famous annual Green Week concert, a Friday lunchtime event that was jam-packed and showcased some of the most epic talents of our school. We paired this with a kangaroo sausage sizzle. These sausages are brilliant – not only are they tasty, but they are low on environmental impact as kangaroos don’t produce methane, like cows and sheep, and don’t have cloven hooves that tear up the ground. This was an awesome way to reward the School after a busy first term, sending the students off on holidays with smiles stretching from ear to ear.

This year also saw the School switch to 100% renewable energy. This means that every kilowatt of power that the School uses is produced from renewable sources, with around 48% coming from the School’s solar panels. To celebrate, we produced a short video showcasing this awesome milestone – we’re

Towards2050

pretty excited! Hopefully, some other schools will join us in the renewable revolution.

Throughout the year, we also had the enthusiastic Middle School students maintain the Middle School’s war on waste. Determined to get the right waste in the right bin, Lucas Papadopoulos, Sam Page, Roy Legge, and Thomas Torre worked on getting our contamination rate as low as 20%.

We have a variety of other projects on the go. A big focus for us is e-waste – as technology is rapidly changing and improving it is crucial that we dispose of our old equipment in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. Christien Aung is working on our MobileMuster campaign, a project that ensures that all the materials that have gone into making your electronics can be recovered and used again. This recycling method is good for the planet and 100% carbon neutral through MobileMuster – so bring your old (blanked) mobile phones into the Weickhardt Library and know their precious elements will be reused, instead of clogging up that drawer.

The headline projects are interesting, but there’s a lot more happening to minimise Camberwell Grammar’s footprint. For example, we are working on a mask recycling initiative, sustainable cooking videos, battery recycling, improving our vegetable garden, expanding our beehives, investigating using reusable crockery in the canteen, and many more awesome projects! I have always been a massive advocate for getting involved in all the opportunities our school has to offer and there is no better group to get involved in than Towards2050. I highly encourage people to get involved in this passionate, determined, and creative group. There is no better feeling than finding a problem, working with each other to find a solution, undertaking the planning and organising, and then the satisfaction of seeing a finished project that aids the most prominent issue our world faces today.

The thought of coming back to see what this group has achieved in years to come is genuinely exciting and I am proud to have been a part of the incredible group of people that Towards2050 consists of.

Harrison Haintz Prefect for Environment and Sustainability

Curriculum

Junior School

It has been a very welcomed return to school this year after being impacted by Covid-19 for the past two years. The School is flourishing with the students back on campus and they are all delighted to be back with their friends.

Quality professional development has the power to increase educators’ knowledge of academic content and teaching skills, while changing what educators believe about student learning and how they interact with students. Powerful professional development can transform schools into places in which all adults and students are deeply engaged in learning and making meaning in their lives.

In Term 1, the Junior School staff attended a whole school presentation by psychologist, Joe Lewsey. The presentation focused on learning about Autism Spectrum Disorders. We also continued to update our knowledge and procedures with Child Safety, Emergency Management, and First Aid. 2022 has seen the staff in the Junior School focus a large part of their professional development on the teaching of Technologies, led by Ms Michele Rutter.

Parent Information sessions are a way of informing the parent community of what is being taught and ways in which they can help at home. In Term 1, the first two sessions were for parents in Years Prep and 1 regarding the teaching of reading and spelling and how parents can help. The third session was held for parents in Years 4 and 5 to address Cyber Safety. In Term 2, Chartwells engaged Sharon Natoli, a well-known and highly regarded nutritionist from Food and Nutrition Australia, to speak to parents about the importance of food groups, a balanced diet, and healthy snacks. Finally, in Term 4, the parents in Year 5 attended an information session about the Sex Education program. Life Education also provided a webinar to inform parents about the Life Education program.

This year has seen the return of some of our long-awaited special events. The students in Years 3 to 5 had the opportunity to work together to present our musical performance Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back. At the end of the year, the students in Pre-Prep to Year 2 performed in the musical concert The Nutcracker. The students love to perform and refine

their acting and singing. Many thanks to Mrs Trista Fry and Mr St Vincent Welch for organising these wonderful experiences. Congratulations also to Mrs Sofia Tsolakis for the wonderful Art Show on Open Day. This was a wonderful celebration of the students’ artistic endeavours.

The excellent NAPLAN results are a reflection of the high level of commitment to teaching and learning across the School. The students in Years 3 and 5 have performed above the state average in all areas. The students are congratulated on their efforts and achievements.

Students in Year 12 this year were recruited by the Junior and Middle School Liaison Prefect, Ben Grlj. The Junior School students all looked forward to the Senior School visiting and assisting with the classroom programs. We appreciate the time the students gave up in their busy Year 12 schedules. It is always a pleasure to see former Junior School students revisit and meet some new students and see their mentoring and leadership skills develop.

The Junior School teachers would like to acknowledge the support they have received this year from parents and Senior School mentors. Their involvement enriches our program and demonstrates fabulous examples of teamwork in our community.

Mrs Caroline Gatley Junior School Deputy Head, Curriculum

Middle School

The Middle Years are a crucial time in students’ lives. Students from our Junior School enter the Middle School as Year 6 students, approximately 125 students join us from other primary schools, making up most of the Year 7 cohort, and our Year 8 students find themselves in their final year in the Middle School, often taking on leadership roles in their House, their sporting teams, on stage or in the schoolyard. This is a time of change: physical, social, and emotional. And we design our Middle School program to not only keep our students intellectually challenged but also to help them develop the skills and strategies they need to negotiate a sometimes tortuous pathway through the adolescent years.

This year saw the introduction of four subjects into the Year 7 curriculum: Drama (now studied by all Year 7 students), STEM (operating as a separate subject as well as being incorporated into Science), Digital Citizenship (with a focus on online security and organisation), and Creative Design, where students have

the opportunity to pursue their own projects using the design process to guide them. Key elements in all these subjects – and increasingly across the board – are creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Students are in House groups for these subjects, which gives them the opportunity to develop connections within the House from the start of the year.

Highlights of the Year 8 curriculum this year were the Electives and the Outdoor Education activities, which included Horse Riding, Sea Kayaking, Mountain Biking, and Rock Climbing.

Year 6 also had a busy year, which included excursions and projects for Sustainability Week. The Middle School curriculum continues to evolve, as we find new ways to challenge, enrich, and engage our students.

Mr Scott Wyatt Deputy Head of Middle School

Senior School

Our graduating year of 2021 experienced a VCE like no other. Learning remotely, without the on-going face-to-face support of their peers and teachers, these students had to endure disruptions to every term over the two years of their VCE. Despite this, as a cohort, they were able to achieve remarkable success in the VCE examinations.

Fortunately, 2022 saw a return to ‘normal’ school life, with no lockdowns and no remote learning. However, returning to the structured and routine life of school after a difficult time over the last two years, was not without its challenges. Nonetheless, students can look back on 2022 with pride and a strong sense of achievement.

One of the positives that came out of our experiences in lockdowns was the strong appreciation of the value of personal, face-to-face experiences in learning. This was illustrated repeatedly through the various learning activities within and outside the classroom. Whether it was creating a work of art in a classroom with classmates, conducting a science experiment in the laboratories, going on an excursion to a water treatment plant, travelling to Moorabbin Airport on a Geography excursion to see first-hand the varied and changing use of urban land, watching French films with your class at the local cinema, or representing a country in the always enjoyable Model United Nations styled Gladwyn Cup, the enthusiasm and excitement of students was palpable.

Study Hall continued in 2022, fortunately without any disruptions due to lockdowns. Once again, our students in Years 9, 10, 11, and 12 were supported by the tutors in attendance in Study Hall, which operated every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday after school. Using our graduates from the previous year as tutors has certainly proven to be a great advantage, as they have not only been able to relate in a very positive way to our current students but are able to give an insight into studying the various subjects in which our students are involved.

2022 marks the eighth year of the Instructional Program – a program that is designed to support teachers to continually refine their pedagogical skills. Teachers cycle through this program every two years, working closely with one of seven trainedcoaches in their classrooms, having previously discussed areas to focus on.

An initiative implemented this year came from our Strategic Plan and involved teachers working in small Professional Learning Groups to investigate pedagogical strategies designed to further enhance the learning of our students. There was great variety in the investigations undertaken, from Students’ Attitudes to Essay Writing and Feedback to Embedding Indigenous Culture in the curriculum, and the outcomes from the 15 investigations were shared with the staff at special presentations.

Every year involves significant planning for the following year, and this certainly was the case in 2022. The Senior School initiated a review of its curriculum offerings with the aim of ensuring that we continue to meet the diverse needs of our students and to clarify pathways for them through the senior years. After conducting several student and parent focus-groups, and following discussions with teachers, the Senior School will implement several initiatives in 2023.

Most notable were the introduction of a VET (Vocational Education and Training) Sports and Recreation course at the Year 11 and 12 levels, and a substantial increase in our offerings of university enhancement studies, taking the number of offerings from one to 12 first-year university studies that Year 12 students can undertake as part of their VCE program.

This Senior School Review will continue in 2023 and will no doubt result in further initiatives to broaden and enhance the Senior School experience in the years ahead.

Mr Laurie Ince Head of Teaching

Chinese

We had a good start in the Year of the Tiger and the zodiac sign Tiger is a symbol of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness. We organised a series of Chinese cultural activities, including learning Chinese painting and calligraphy, appreciating Chinese dumplings, and a Chinese painting competition. Students actively participated in these activities and showed great talents. Our students also participated in the Chinese Reading Awards organised by the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Victoria (CLTAV), Jacob Meaney (Year 7) achieved a top ten result and Thomas Douglas (Year 9) won an encouragement award.

Our staff also took part in various professional development activities organised by CLTAV and VCAA. This year, Ms Emily Wang has been appointed as our Middle School Coordinator looking after all the Middle School Chinese classes. We farewelled Ms Min Zhang, who had worked in our school for over 25 years, and we welcomed a new teacher, Ms Lisa Zhang, who has taken Ms Min Zhang’s place. We continue to build up our resources on DEEDS and develop effective strategies to cater to our students’ needs.

Department Notes

Commerce

The noise of students in the classroom is something we are grateful to hear once again. The controversy and competition of Year 10 students fighting to make more money in the ASX Sharemarket game than their counterparts; the gasps as we sit and watch live streaming of sentencing of murderers in the Supreme Court; the excitement of actually getting out of the classroom and going on an excursion to Queen Victoria Market or the Old Melbourne Gaol. All of these activities show the progression and effects of the last two years. We can now engage in many more online activities as organisations, like the courts, allow greater streaming access to what really happens in the courtroom. At the same time society’s nervousness around large gatherings is starting to dissipate, allowing students to wander around a marketplace, analysing economic forces in practice, is also very liberating. Much time has been spent in the classroom this year as we cherish the discussions and debates that went missing for so long. Although at times it has been hard to see the expressions on their faces due to masks, we know they are all glad to be back. Commerce is an integral part of every student’s education and an understanding of the society they live in is important for their development. The Commerce program and staff bring the classroom alive and foster an inquiring mind within each student.

Mr Andrew Warne Head of Commerce

Computing

Building on work in previous years, in 2022 students undertaking Computing subjects were again offered more opportunities with an expanded and upgraded curriculum, new equipment, and, in Term 4, a new dedicated space adjoining the classrooms to host a robotics field and VR/electronics lab.

This year saw the introduction of Digital Citizenship for all Year 7 students. Students are now exposed to a range of topics about navigating the digital world, from password management and basic cybersecurity to media literacy and digital creation. A big thanks to Ms Sarah Alton and Mrs Jenny Luca for creating and leading this new subject.

The Year 8 Robotics class introduced new VEX IQ robot kits. These kits allow for a greater depth of challenge in programming, design, and engineering. In class, students must design, build, program, and drive a robot to score points in a game. This year’s challenge involves getting discs out of dispensers and flicking them into various goal zones.

In the same VEX platform, some students put in extra time outside class to prepare for competing in the inter-school VEX Robotics Competition. The Year 8 team consisted of Julian Nguyen, Caleb Obeyesekere, Jerry Tang, Richie Yang, and Lucas Gu and the Year 9 team was Ari Canale, Lachlan Courmadias, Ivan Zhang, Christopher Khong, and Joash Law. We hope to see these students continue in the future and aim for spots in the National or World Finals for the competitions.

Year 10 students now have the opportunity in Term 4 to spend seven weeks building a project of their own choice. This is an effective capstone of the work they have done up to that point –projects this year included Virtual Reality experiences, a dominolaying robot, flight simulation games, and a smart dustbin.

On Wednesday lunchtimes in Coding Club, students taught other students topics such as Python programming, game animations, and, notably, neural networks. Ishaan Nandurkar and Ben Bosmans led this initiative and taught many of the classes.

None of this would be possible without the commitment and dedication of the Computing teachers: Miss Maddi Voumard, Mr Glenn Pountney, Ms Sarah Alton, and Mrs Jenny Luca.

Mr Andrew Worsnop Coordinator, Computing

e-Learning

This year the School has looked to expand the opportunities for students undertaking VCE Extension studies by taking advantage of the online learning resources of Deakin University and its Deakin Accelerate program. Excitingly this allows the School to add an additional ten VCE Extension subjects to its offering, ranging from Accounting and Criminology to Law, Philosophy, Robotics, and Sports Management. It also allows students to participate in an online campus experience as an enrolled student at Deakin University, participating in online lectures and seminars with other Year 12s and first-year undergraduate students, while being fully supported by the University’s student support and resource services.

This offers an exciting opportunity for students to undertake one of a variety of different experiences in an online campus context by introducing them to the changing face of post-compulsory education at one of the widely acknowledged leaders in the provision of innovative online learning in the tertiary sector.

This will complement the existing University of Melbourne Extension Mathematics program taught at school and enable participating students in the Deakin Accelerate program to obtain the same ATAR Increment for the studies they undertake. We look forward to extending this program to interested students in 2023 as a way of using online learning to extend the educational opportunities our students might be interested in undertaking and showing our students the variety of degree pathways available to them in the tertiary sector.

Mr Matthew Wood Head of eLearning

Whilst the post-Covid lockdown normal is yet to be established, the year felt more like a regular year. Saturday sport, the Hamer Hall Concert, plays, House events, Open Day, camps, and the like punctuated the year. Whilst these events gave a seemingly familiar sense of return, the renegotiation of expected behaviours in terms of work and sharing social spaces was challenging for many. The new classroom was now a hybrid form of the best parts of technology incorporated during lockdowns and a return to the personal connections made through in-person teaching.

The full impact of the lockdowns is yet to be determined. What we do know is that some students were able to return to school and excel in their studies. The following students have not only been conscientious in their approach to work but have achieved outstanding results. Congratulations to Joshua Hui, Andrew Ong, and Tom Nguyen for their performance in English Units 1 & 2. As the highest-ranking Year 11 student, Ashton Lu was the recipient of the Brian Gill Memorial Prize. Nicholas Graves should be applauded for the exceptionally high standard of achievement he maintained in English Language Units 1 & 2. An unusual double is to be at the top of two English subjects. This impressive feat was achieved by Patrick Homes who managed to secure awards in both Literature and English Language. In Unit 3 & 4 subjects, there were some equally impressive results attained throughout the year. The academic awards for English Units 3 & 4 were obtained by Daniel Meagher, Ben Bosmans, Andrew Lee, Kerry Sun, Yanning Zhang, Leo Simo-Orgonas, and Je-Rard Cheong. The highest achievers in English Language Units 3 & 4 were Lidong Chen and Brendan Tse. In Year 12 Literature, Marcus Peeters-Williams was the winner of both the highly sought-after Mervyn Britten Memorial Award for Writing and the equally prestigious Shirley Thomas William Goodwin Prize for Literature. This follows alum Aidan Harris’ (2021) double-up victory in the previous year.

Just as much as students struggled to return after numerous interruptions in the two years prior, teachers also found the new terrain difficult to manage. It was the tireless effort

of the subject coordinators that forged a path forward for others to follow. The entire Department owes a great deal of gratitude to Mrs Penelope Wood in Year 12 English, Mr John Allen in Literature, and Mr James Victor in English Language. Expressions of gratitude and congratulations are extended to Mrs Julie McCarthy and Miss Georgia Bellchambers who have made excellent contributions throughout their first year and have now joined Camberwell Grammar as ongoing staff members. We have also been blessed by the enormous contributions made by a number of staff who came to cover classes in the middle of the year. Mr Jordan Moulday, who bravely stepped into two Year 9 classes and a Year 10 class did a sterling job, especially considering his graduate status. Miss Melissa Drentin crossed the channel from her teaching of French and was a welcome addition to the Year 9 English team. Ms Jane Hickey was such an excellent cover in her key teacher role in the Middle School and with her Year 9 English that she secured a position for 2023. Thanks to all the teachers of English who so generously give of their time to get the job done, day after day.

In other staffing news, it was wonderful to see the return of Ms Laura Dubberley in Term 4 from her Maternity Leave. We thank the contributions of Mr Will Cordner and wish him well for his future endeavours in teaching. During the year, we also farewelled Mr Vincenzo Piscioneri. His passion for teaching English and Literature was never questioned over the 14 years of his connection with the School. The last note about staffing is left to acknowledge that after a year away from the chalkface on Long Service Leave, Mr Peter Robinson folded the scorebook on his teaching career and announced his retirement. After decades of dedicated service in Middle School, he will be sorely missed. When linked to the recent retirement of Mr Ken Schwab, the landscape of debating and class rivalry has been handed over to others. Hopefully, next year offers staff and students an opportunity to reinforce the solid foundations laid this year.

Mr Rick Mason Head of English

English as an Additional Language

In 2022 Camberwell Grammar ran EAL classes for Years 9 to 12 students, with the Years 9 and 10 composite class being taught by Mr James Victor. Mr Michael Daniel taught the Years 11 and 12 classes. As in previous years, Years 9 and 10 students used the Headway Course. The Year 11 class consisted of ten students. The texts they studied included Medea, Maestro, Twelve Angry Men, and To Kill a Mockingbird

The Year 12 cohort consisted of seven students. Students completed regular listening comprehension practice tasks, usually based on material from the ABC Radio National website, as well as practice examination tasks. They read Christine Piper’s Australian novel After Darkness for the single text analysis. For the comparative study, students studied Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible and Rosalie Ham’s novel The Dressmaker

During the 2021-2022 summer holidays, Mr Michael Daniel wrote a significant portion of a textbook for Year 11 EAL students, entitled EAL Year 11 VCE Units 1 & 2 – 2023 Study Design, published by Insight Publications, for the new course which commences in 2023. The book was launched online early in Term 3. In addition, Mr Daniel again contributed to the Year 12 EAL student revision program run by the Victorian Association for the Teaching of English by preparing a video presentation on the persuasive text analysis component of the examination. He also delivered presentations to EAL students from disadvantaged backgrounds, run by the Australian Catholic University, in July and September.

Mr Michael Daniel Head of EAL

French

At the end of 2022, we farewelled Mr Ken Da Costa, who, after almost two decades at Camberwell Grammar, decided that it was time to retire. Ken is known for his knowledge of all things French, including the culture, history, and language amongst other things, and has a reputation for running the most successful Paris-Art-History tours that the School has ever seen.

While we searched for a suitable replacement, we were lucky enough to have Chris Bradtke take the reins once again. In Term 2, Miss Melissa Drentin took up her position within the Department and quickly let her many talents be known and also joined the English Department. Bienvenue Mademoiselle Drentin!

Following last year’s success with our French Poetry Competition, we launched a larger, more daring project for all students. This year saw the inaugural Prenez la Parole – a French-speaking competition for all students. The aim was to impress the judges in under 60 seconds, whether it be a monologue, stand-up comedy, a rap, a poem, a speech... au choix! Prizes were awarded at each year level and this year we introduced a highly contested ‘staff only’ category. Winners enjoyed meals at Franco-Belge Restaurant plus a bag of French treats. It was lots of fun with fantastic feedback from students, judges, and staff. Warning: Prenez la parole 2023 will be even bigger!

Another initiative this year was reconnecting with neighbouring Camberwell Girls’ Grammar School. With the aim of rehearsing French conversation prior to the oral examinations, the Year 12 classes from both schools met up for a coordinated rendezvous and afternoon tea or goûter. It seems that long-lost friendships were reconnected after this event in M44, as well as brushing up on French conversation skills.

As for rekindling our reciprocal exchange with Lycée Bellevue in Lyon, we expect that this recommences in 2023 and applications can be made from the start of the School year for Years 10 and 11 students. Furthermore, the tours to France are currently in negotiations with the History Department about the possibility of a collaboration in the near future. Very exciting!

It’s been a tough year getting back into the swing of things, but overall it is good to be back!

Merci à tous!

Ms Naomi Eckersley Head of French

Geography

2022 ushered in changes to both curriculum and staffing within the Geography Department. This year, a new VCE Study Design for Years 11 and 12 was introduced, as well as an overhaul of the way the Year 8 and Year 10 curriculum is delivered to our students. Mr Ian March has taken a well-deserved six-month Long Service Leave, personally and as a Department, we wish him all the best as he travels and spends time with family and friends. His replacement for Semester 2 is Mr Tom Everett, a teacher who has enthusiastically engaged with the students and Geography staff alike. After years of lockdowns and restrictions, we have finally been able to organise three field trips this year, the Unit 1 excursion to Marysville to experience and collect data related to the 2009 Black Saturday fires, the Unit 2 field trip to St Kilda to study the effects of Tourism, and the Unit 3 field trip to Moorabbin Airport to study land use change over time.

I would like to personally thank each and every member of the Geography Department for their collegiality and hard work in developing, creating, and delivering innovative lessons and units for our students over the past few years in very trying and tough conditions.

Mr Tim Cross Head of Geography

History

With the introduction of a new VCAA Study Design, both Year 12 Revolutions classes have focused on the changes and continuities experienced by different social groups in the French and Russian Revolutions. They developed their ability to work with both primary and secondary sources in a variety of ways, while also enjoying plenty of lively discussions.

Year 12 Global Politics students, working under the guidance of experienced teacher Mr Roger Devine, have been busy keeping abreast of the many developments in international relations in 2022. So current is the focus of this subject, that classes would often begin with a discussion of what had occurred overnight in certain parts of the world.

Both Year 10 and 11 students were able to benefit from the resumption of excursions to the Jewish Holocaust Centre. Different classes were fortunate to hear the stories of either Abe Goldberg or Paul Grinwald and also had the opportunity to directly ask them questions about their experiences. Although both men endured significant ordeals, the message they clearly conveyed was the need to respect others and also how Australia provided them with the opportunity to start a new life.

Year 9 students enjoyed spending time with Murrundindi, the ngurungaeta of the Wurundjeri people, during their unit on the Port Phillip Settlement. He generously shared artefacts and his personal story while also providing his perspective on areas the students were studying. This was the first time this incursion has been made available and we look forward to it continuing in future years.

Congratulations to Patrick Homes and Vincent Chen who placed in the top three in Victoria for their categories in the National History Challenge. Consequently, they progressed to national judging and Patrick was awarded the State Prize in the Australia’s Wartime Experiences category. He received his Gold Award at the state presentation held at the Victorian Archives Centre in late November.

Thank you to all the History staff who have worked tirelessly this year. In particular, thank you to Miss Miranda McDonald for her oversight of the Middle School History curriculum, Mr Roger Devine for overseeing Global Politics, Ms Cairistiona Tait for co-ordinating Year 9, and Dr Graham Morey-Nase for returning in Term 2 to cover a long-service leave position.

Mrs Kathryn Smith Head of History

Indonesian

We live right next door to Indonesia, and our students are fortunate to have the choice of studying Indonesian at Camberwell Grammar. By 2030, Indonesia will be the fifth-largest economy in the world and Indonesian is the sixth most widely spoken language in the world. 2022 marked the return to the classroom and students were able to take part in interactive incursions and excursions. We started off the year with a Year 7 joint excursion with the Geography Department to Ceres. Students learnt about sustainable environments as well as traditional Indonesian dances and village life. In April, Senior School students attended the Indonesian Film Festival at ACMI followed by an Indonesian lunch.

We were fortunate this year, through a collaborative effort with Scotch College, to have Mr Robbie Gaspar run soccer workshops for our students. Robbie, a former soccer player with Persita Tangerang, Persema Malang, and Persib Bandung, lived in Indonesia for eight years. Robbie, a fluent Indonesian speaker, believes that sport provides an important vehicle in developing Australia-Indonesia relationships and is heavily involved in sports diplomacy. We were also delighted to have Camberwell Grammar alumni, Kimon Taliadoros (1985), the CEO of Football Victoria, and Brendan Schwab (1985), Executive Director – World Players Association, join us for this event. Students learnt the different drills in Indonesian and were able to put this into practice. In addition, Robbie spoke about his experiences in Indonesia and how learning the language enriched his life experience and expanded his career opportunities.

To celebrate Indonesian Independence Day on 17 August, students at all levels had the opportunity to sample Indonesian foods like Rendang and Soto Ayam. In addition, Year 7s learnt about the spice trade and made spice pictures, which tied in nicely with the Food incursion.

I want to thank the Indonesian staff who have worked tirelessly to make all the above activities possible, as well as Camberwell Grammar parents and students for their support.

Ms Janet Sharman Head of Indonesian

Latin

2022 saw the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions and a return to normal classroom teaching for our Latin Department staff – a much anticipated and welcome development as a signature strength of our program has always been the quality of staffstudent interactions and relationship-building. A number of staff, Mr Samuel Gough and Dr John Tuckfield in particular, resuscitated plans for overseas travel to the destinations in the Classical world they love so dearly. And for the students, one suspects, a Latin Tour may once again become a possibility in the near future – an exciting prospect.

A notable absence around the Department this year was Dr John Tuckfield, who decided to take a year of long service leave. Dr Tebb Kusserow assumed charge of both Year 12 classes, 26 students in total. Their Latin studies this year culminated with Book 4 of Virgil’s epic poem The Aeneid, the famous tragic love story of Aeneas and the queen of Carthage, Dido. Mr Samuel Gough, meanwhile, led the team at the Year 7 level, where structural changes to the curriculum posed new challenges. Nonetheless, with a record number of students selecting Latin as a Year 8 elective, they seem to have managed very well indeed.

One of that team was Mr William Guest, a new teacher this year, young, energetic, and already fast becoming indispensable! We welcome him warmly to the Department, where he will serve as the replacement in 2023 for Mr Samuel Gough, Dr Tebb Kusserow, and Mr James Victor in succession, who all have long service leave stints planned. We will be relying heavily then on Ms Kassandra Arvanitis, Mr Michael Daniel, and Dr John Tuckfield to hold the proverbial fort and ensure that Latin remains as vibrant and attractive a subject as it ever has been at Camberwell Grammar.

Dr Tebb Kusserow Head of Latin

Learning Enhancement

All students are encouraged to test their strengths and expand their knowledge in co-curricular competitions and events each year and there were many opportunities to engage in enrichment in 2022.

The annual Model United Nations competition, the Gladwyn Cup, was conducted at school with the usual elements of diplomacy, knowledge of the subject matter, and negotiating skills on display for the 16 teams participating. In this highly prized competition, Gladwyn sees students assume the role of ambassadors to the United Nations Security Council, observing the protocol of the institution and emulating its process for considering resolutions. Delegates are presented with three proposed resolutions on international issues and can amend them, debate them and rally the chamber’s opinion for or against them to further their country’s goals. Throughout it all, they must take care to avoid international embarrassment from the pointed questions of their peers. Judging was carried out by Camberwell Grammar alumni and Model UN enthusiasts Tom Sun (2021), Jack Hu (2021), and Andrew Zeng (2021).

After five hours of solid debate, negotiation, and diplomacy, France emerged victorious due to the consistency of their skills across the three resolutions presented: congratulations to Kerry Sun and Ishaan Nandurkar (Year 12). Well done also to second-placed Mexico represented by Cooper Carbone (Year 11) and Alan Tian (Year 10), third-placed China represented by Charles Lewis and Finnian Mahaffy (Year 12), and best-performing Year 9 team Albania, represented by Lachlan Courmadias and Alex Zhang.

Following on from the Gladwyn Cup, Camberwell Grammar was lucky enough to have three teams qualify for the State Evatt Cup competition where a full day of debating and diplomacy saw each team perform well. The competition was held in the Legislative Council chamber of State Parliament.

The Chess team competed in three competitions and was pleased to be placed in the top section in all three, which entitled these teams to be in competition for the Chess Victoria Secondary Schools’ State Title held in October at Brighton Grammar School. Students selected to represent the School were: Lachlan Lee, Kerry Sun, Kayson Wang (Captain), Eugene Goh, William Wu, Cody Greenwood, Justin Kwan, Hugo Thornton, Scott Zheng, Steven Wang, Joel Cheok, and Ishaan Nandurkar. Congratulations to Kayson Wang who was awarded Full School Colours for Chess and also the School Chess Prize.

The da Vinci Decathlon was an online competition this year at both State and National levels. Congratulations to our Year 10 team of Adrian Chiu, Joel Cheok, Jerry Jin, Matthew Lau, Timothy Gunasegaram, Rohan Wickremasinghe, Ethan Mak, and Tommy Auwardt on placing second at the National event held online.

The Australian Computational and Linguistics competition also saw Camberwell Grammar enter eight teams from Years 9 to 12 and perform well overall.

Six teams entered the Brainstem competition and were mentored by university and industry professionals. The teams’ presentations were varied and most interesting based on a healthcare theme.

The annual Australian Computational and Linguistics competition attracted seven teams from Years 9 to 12.

A Human Rights Conference centred around the rights of refugees to clean water, food, and housing as well as safety was organised by a lively committee of Year 10 students in conjunction with Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School. The day was very successful and attracted delegates from five schools.

Other conventions attended were: a day at Lalor Secondary College examining voting rights of minority groups, a Secondary Schools’ State Parliamentary Convention held at the Windsor Hotel with a live link up with other states to form a National Convention examining the age that voting should be allowed. William Lardner (Year 10) represented the School at another constitutional convention piloting a new program Victorian Curriculum Services is implementing. As well, William won the Balwyn Rotary Club’s four-way speaking competition against other Boroondara Schools.

Mr Paul Double Head of Enrichment

Mathematics

Mathematics students in 2022 have enjoyed the return of face-to-face teaching after two years of interruptions to classes and assessments.

In early May this year, nearly 50 students from the Middle and Senior Schools sat the University of Melbourne Mathematics Competition. This is a particularly challenging competition taking up to three hours in which only a handful of questions are answered. Several of our students received awards in this competition. Jerry Jin from Year 10 and Roger Cao from Year 11 were Outstanding Award winners in their divisions while Tony Zhang and Ivan Zhang both received Merit Awards.

The Computational and Algorithmic Thinking competition also took place in May this year and, for the first time in three years, we were able to have the vast majority of students in Years 6 through 10 compete. Our students performed at a very high level with 113 students receiving High Distinction or Distinction awards.

The Australian Mathematics Competition was held in August. Some of the best performers were Maxwell Cai of Year 6, Hayden Chan of Year 7, Aaron Zhuang of Year 8, Ethan Lau of Year 9, Joel Cheok of Year 10, and Roger Cao of Year 11.

We were very fortunate in having a team of students from Year 12 consisting of Akalanka Gunawardana, Jerry Ji, and Ishaan Nandurkar being selected as finalists in the University of Melbourne Mathematics and Statistics competition. These students were invited to present the results of their project at the University in October.

In 2023, Year 11 and 12 students will be following new courses of study due to updated VCE study designs. All of the VCE Mathematics subjects see some changes and, consequently, the Mathematics Department staff have been attending professional development sessions and planning together to ensure that we are fully prepared for the challenges ahead.

My thanks go out to the Mathematics Department staff in the Junior, Middle, and Senior Schools for their excellent work in teaching and mentoring the students in their classes.

Dr David Rodgers Head of Mathematics

PE

After a difficult past two years dominated by online learning, it was pleasing to return to normality, albeit awash with a constant veneer of hand and equipment sanitiser. The energy and enjoyment of students exercising together again was a refreshing sight that hopefully signifies the end to Covid-19 restrictions.

The Sports Centre and surrounding Physical Education facilities played host to 43 practical classes, numerous Department-based theory lessons, and many Junior School sessions each week, making this area of the School one of the busiest and most vibrant. The practical curriculum focused on three major components to improve performance and they were developing sport-specific skills, increasing awareness of game strategy, and elevating fitness levels.

Our academic curriculum that encompasses Year 10 Sports Science elective, Unit 1 & 2 and Unit 3 & 4 VCE Physical Education courses continue to swell in numbers and next year is proving to be our biggest intake for the Year 10 elective with over 70 students enrolled. This is an incredible number as it is close to half of the cohort and bodes well for the planned introduction of VET Sport and Recreation, which can be studied at VCE level from next year and beyond. I would like to acknowledge the work and preparation that Mr Jamie Watson and Mr Matthew Sofoulis have put in to set up this VET course within the School.

This year, the Department welcomed four new members of staff including Mr Ben Jeacocke (Head of Senior School), Mr Jordan McKinnon, Kaylah Young (AFL trainee), and Ms Meg Robinson (AFL trainee). All four have made valuable contributions to the Physical Education Department throughout the year. Unfortunately, we bid the latter three farewell and wish them all the best with their future endeavours after completing their one-year contract with the School.

I would like to congratulate all the Physical Education staff and students involved in the program for the way they conducted themselves and for the outcomes achieved, particularly as we transitioned back into school life on campus.

Mr David Beardsley Head of Physical Education

Science

‘The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.’ Isaac Newton

Science is about testing our ideas and 2022 has seen a year where students have been back on site, testing hypotheses, using equipment, making observations, and exploring the

universe in a way that wasn’t possible over the last two years. From titrations and pH measurements to dissections and air track collisions, it has been fantastic to see the passion and enthusiasm return to our busy classrooms.

To complement the learning in the classroom, this year has seen the return of many excursions that students have been able to engage in. Physicists have put their knowledge to the test analysing the circular motion of the rides at Luna Park, Chemists have tested water from the Yarra River, and Biologists have studied adaptations and ecosystems at Healesville Sanctuary to name a few.

The eagerness of students has also been evident with the large participation numbers in a variety of competitions. ICAS exams, the International Chemistry Quiz, and the Science Olympiads in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology provide students with an opportunity to put their knowledge to the test. There were many excellent results across all competitions. A number of students scored in the 99th percentile Australia-wide in the ICAS exam. We also have a Biology student being invited to attend a summer camp for the Australian Olympiad team. Congratulations to all those who participated.

Then there was Science Week. The daily Science questions kept students pondering, while the Giraffe skeleton naming competition had a significant amount of interest. Say hi to Geraldine Numbolelo next time you pass Wheelton. Camberwell Grammar was also visited by the Monash HPR (High Powered Rocketry) team. They presented to a group of keen budding rocket surgeons and then launched a (lowpowered) rocket from the KAO. To sum up, I think Elon Musk said it best with ‘Rockets are cool. There’s no getting around that.’

Mr Luke van Maanen Head of Science

Weickhardt Library

The wonderful author, Neil Gaiman once said ‘Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them.’ The Weickhardt Library has tried to live up to that ideal, creating a world to escape from reality beyond the doors. From the first day of the year, the students and staff of the School returned to the Weickhardt Library to enjoy the opportunities that have been on offer.

The beloved Bloke’s Book Breakfast returned to Camberwell Grammar in 2022 with a bang. Tickets were sold within a day of becoming available and everyone enjoyed the stories, dry humour, and honesty of our guest speaker, Paul Kennedy. All the blokes present were enthralled by his adventures as a young man, coming of age and completing Year 12, while a serial killer lurked in the background in 1998 Frankston. His talk was thought-provoking and entertaining, as he spoke about finding love, football, and being a bit of a boofhead.

The Library has continued to grow and develop our collections, encouraging students and staff to try out something new, a novel, a biography or an audiobook. Classes continue to look forward to their Library sessions, some making it clear it is their favourite time of the week. Mrs Janine Pietralla continues to ensure students have the right book at the right time to assist them in finding their love of reading.

Our students welcomed a new staff member, Ms Tara Suri, who ably and enthusiastically replaced Mrs Regine Miriklis while on maternity leave. Ms Suri has taken on all the challenges that working in a busy Library offers, with great skill. Encouraging reading through new bookmarks and offering creative outlets through MakerSpace. She has been a wonderful addition to the Library Team and we wish her luck in her future endeavours as we welcome the return of Mrs Regine Miriklis in 2023.

The Weickhardt Library is able to offer a variety of experiences, competitions, and activities only through the hard work and dedication of the Library team, Mrs Sarah Emerson, Mrs Jan Everett, Ms Tara Suri, and Mrs Janine Pietralla. Without their hard work and innovations, the Weickhardt Library would only be a space to store books without the hustle and bustle of people.

Junior School Report

After two years of long lockdowns and uncertainty, it came with a great deal of relief and anticipation that 2022 would allow us to reclaim the full extent of our rich and vibrant school program, as well as be able to fully engage our community in School events and life in our Junior School village. While Covid-19 was ever present to varying degrees throughout this year, its impact was well managed through vaccinations and strict health care protocols at school and at home. The Year 4 and 5 camps proved to be a wonderful way to welcome the boys back on campus and provided new students the opportunity to develop friendships and a sense of belonging. Of great delight was being able to host the Mother’s Day Breakfast on our Junior School Green, and what a wonderful morning it proved to be with clear skies, gas heaters to take the chill off the air, a delicious assortment of food, and the sweet sound of boys singing Isn’t She Lovely. Life in the village was recovering its mojo!

For two weeks in Term 2, mural artist Bjani Walk engaged with the boys of Junior School to create a vibrant, colourful celebration of our Yeti growth mindset ideals and School Values. Helping boys acquire a positive mindset that encourages learning, persevering, and bouncing back from unsuccessful

attempts is a hallmark of life in our village. This is coupled with developing boys of character who embody the School’s values and approach each day with kindness and consideration for others and their environment. I am very proud of the way our boys embrace the opportunities to help others and their fundraising and awareness-raising efforts this year have been outstanding. I congratulate our Junior School Student Executive for the initiatives and the student community for its support.

With School life regaining some normality, we were able to enjoy many of the special events and activities that populate our Junior School calendar, such as camps, excursions, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Breakfasts, Swimming and Athletics Carnivals, concerts and soirees, and, of course, the delights of Book Week and its parade of characters. Our Junior School Musical, Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back, featuring all boys in Years 3 to 5, was a hilarious production performed to enthusiastic audiences. Most recently, the return of our Open Day after two missed years was a fantastic return to campus for our extensive community. What a wonderful day it was, thanks to the evergenerous support of our parent groups, who worked tirelessly to produce an event that certainly made up for lost time, and our teachers who relished the opportunity to showcase the work of their students.

As my last year at Camberwell Grammar comes to a close and I explore the green pastures of retirement, I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work within this school community, and particularly the Junior School village, for the past 15 years. It is truly an amazing place brimming with teachers dedicated

to their craft and their students, and a parent community that has been so supportive, helpful, and understanding. What a pleasure and privilege it has been to work with the Friends of Norge teams over the years – we have also had quite a deal of fun. I am extremely grateful to our current committee led by Ms Debbie Cheong, Ms Viviana Yong, and Ms Lydia Dwijayanti as they dedicated themselves to ensuring this recovery year was an enriching and enjoyable experience for boys, staff, and families. And where would we be without the devotion to duty and care for the community of Mrs Dune Richards – watching her work is exhausting, and keeping up with her is impossible.

Mrs Diane Collins also retires at the end of this year, having begun as Junior School Deputy Head, Administration 15 years ago. How fortunate we all have been to have someone of such integrity, care, and commitment fulfilling this important role, and, while we wish her all the best in retirement, her presence will surely be missed. Also at the conclusion of this year, we will bid farewell to a splendid group of Year 5 boys, thank them for their contribution to the Junior School, and wish them well in their next stage of schooling. They have done a fine job as leaders of the Junior School, and they will leave with many fond memories and confidence in themselves. They are well-prepared and ready to embrace the Middle School experience.

Mr Howard Kelly Head of Junior School

Pre-Prep

In Pre-Prep, our youngest students are encouraged to explore, discover, and thrive in an environment based on learning through play. A broad and balanced program fosters an understanding of self and others, whilst assisting them to build connections to the world around them.

Prep

The Prep boys have thoroughly enjoyed all the learning experiences this year. They have had many opportunities to explore, investigate, discuss, think and do. It is wonderful to see the growth they have all made. They are wonderful writers, readers, mathematicians, scientists, and performers. The Prep boys have been wonderful Yetis bringing a growth mindset to all they do. Congratulations. We are so proud of you.

Mrs Caroline Gatley Prep Teacher

JUNIOR SCHOOL

Year 1

Year 1 has enjoyed a multitude of exciting and engaging learning experiences. Starting our Term 2 Integrated Unit off with an incursion, we swapped our pencils for hammers and became little woodworkers. We learnt about different physical changes that can happen to materials. We took our construction skills back inside the classroom and learnt how to construct a narrative that would captivate our readers with a sizzling start. Writing also became a lot of fun when we learnt the importance of giving clear instructions when we wrote a recipe for Miss Brown, teaching her how to make fairy bread.

Next, we celebrated Book Week 2022 with the theme ‘Dreaming With Our Eyes Open’, bringing to life our favourite book characters that we often love to dream of. After that, we were back in reality and took to the skies to visit the infamous Australian landmark, the Eureka Skydeck. The students looked out of the glass windows of Level 88 and searched high and low for the natural and man-made features of Melbourne CBD. Falling in love with the beauty of our fascinating landscapes, we ventured back to school to admire the natural features of our school and began to observe the changes of the seasons, writing exquisite poetry about our own experiences with nature in the form of Haiku and Acrostic.

In Year 1, we are role models to the Preps and continue to grow and learn about how we can be better each and every day. In Year 1 we read The Word Collector and sought out kind words that we could say to each other. At Camberwell Grammar, the Year 1s know that our school motto is ‘By Our Deeds May We Be Known’ and therefore we learnt many new ways that we could show kindness and respect to our peers. Throughout all of

these experiences, we were lucky enough to have our Year 5 Buddies as role models, showing us the ropes and helping lead us on our learning journey at Camberwell Grammar in our Buddy Program.

Miss Madison Brown Year 1 Teacher

1 Eureka Skydeck Excursion

My favourite experience in Year 1 has been going to Eureka Skydeck because it only took 38 seconds to get to level 88. Plus, it is very high. It is about 325 or 328 metres or something. I did an activity about landmarks. It was really fun.

Anderson Gu

My favourite experience was the Eureka Skydeck because I had a very, very, very fun experience.

Kendrick Jiang

My favourite experience in Year 1 has been the Eureka Skydeck. I liked it because I like to see trains.

Nathan Chen

My favourite experience in Year 1 is the Eureka Skydeck because I loved looking at the different landmarks in Melbourne.

3 Writing in Year 1

NATURE HAIKU

My favourite experience in Year 1 was when we wrote a nature Haiku poem. It was a challenge for me and made me think out of my comfort zone. I loved it because I needed five syllables on the first line, seven on the other and finally five on the last. Finally, I loved being outside in the nature of our garden and writing about it.

Jasper Sham

My favourite experience in Year 1 is narrative writing because I can learn how to write a sizzling start and making my writing more interesting.

Year 2

2022 will be a year to remember for the Year 2 cohort as being their first year of primary school on campus. Early in the year, the boys celebrated all things ‘2’ on the unusual date 22/2/22. They were intrigued to find out more about palindromic numbers and spent the morning investigating palindromic patterns when adding a number to its reverse. Term 1 also saw the boys use the Design Process to build a boat that would transport a cargo of cookies (marbles). Whilst some vessels were initially unstable, most boys were able to improve and develop their designs after testing. This task also reinforced that a Yeti approach to learning means that we learn through our mistakes and from others.

An excursion to Como House and Gardens began the Term 2 inquiry ‘Looking Back.’ We enjoyed playing old-time games on the lawns and learning about the Armytage family who lived in Como House in the last century. We even had to wash the clothes and use a manual wringer before hanging them out to dry. Life was not easy for the servants of the house. To learn more about life in the past, the Year 2 boys interviewed their grandparents. We are lucky to live in an age of technology that made speaking to family overseas so easy. When the students shared their interviews with the class, they realised that many things are valuable because of the memories attached to them and also that every generation likes to have fun in some way!

Numbers increased by 10 in Year 2 during Term 3 as the boys were lucky to incubate eggs. These all hatched within days and everyone was delighted to have 10 fluffy chickens join the Year 2 classroom. Being able to observe the first eight to ten days of life of the chicks demonstrated how living things grow and change. This was reinforced during an excursion to the Zoo, where some boys even saw an elephant have its foot scrubbed clean by a keeper.

In Term 4, the students worked scientifically to investigate what happens to materials when they are combined. They conducted a range of experiments including combining combinations of water, oil, and detergent and changing variables when dissolving sugar and salt in water. They also took part in a fabulous incursion that introduced them to materials called polymers and highlighted the difference between a physical change and a chemical reaction.

I applaud the boys for the enthusiasm, optimism, and curiosity they have shown all year. They are true inquirers and have been a joy to teach.

Mrs Eunice Goessler Year 2 Teacher

Celebrating ‘Twosday’

A fascinating date captured the Year 2 boys’ imaginations early in Term 1. The Tuesday was known by Year 2 as ‘Twosday’ because the date was 22/2/22. The whole day was spent celebrating all things related to ‘2’. We learnt about palindromic numbers in Maths by adding numbers together and looking for patterns using a 100 chart. How lucky we were to have a date to celebrate.

Designing a Boat

In Term 1, the Year 2 students investigated floating and sinking in our Water unit. The task was that the King Island Cookie Company needed boats to transport cookies to Melbourne as the factory’s largest boat had sunk. We had a limited budget and could only construct the boats from foil, masking tape, straws, and popsicle sticks. We tested our boat designs by floating them in a tub of water, then adding marbles to see if they were stable. Some boats sunk immediately and needed to be improved. However, with some small changes, many boys designed boats that floated with over 65 marbles as cargo.

Como House

In Term 2, we went on our first excursion to Como House. The huge ballroom with a giant crystal chandelier was astonishing. We enjoyed acting like a servant and washing the clothes. The Armytage family were very wealthy and had lots of rooms in their house. It was a mansion.

Box of Love

In Term 3, a group of Year 9 students asked the Year 2 boys to be involved in their Box of Love project. Their aim was to spread kind messages to the local community. During the project, we enjoyed drawing and writing letters to help sad people. We wrote kind messages and drew happy pictures on coloured circles which were delivered by the Year 9 boys to a local café. We even received a thank you message from one grateful customer.

Hatching Chicks

Seeing the chicks’ life cycle in Integrated Studies was so exciting! We watched the eggs hatch in an incubator and then when they were a day or two old, we moved them into a brooding box. We saw how quickly the chicks developed, especially their wings. We loved holding the fluffy chicks!

‘I applaud the boys for the enthusiasm, optimism, and curiosity they have shown all year.’

Year 3

This year, the Year 3 classroom has been overflowing with students who were determined to do their best across all areas of the curriculum. The Year 3 students have become expert and entertaining writers expressing themselves fluently in written form. This skill was particularly observed when they wrote beautiful descriptive imagery poems about their ‘Willow Pattern Vase’ paintings which were admired by many at this year’s Junior School Art Show.

A highlight in Term 1 was spending the day exploring Healesville Sanctuary, investigating the features and classification of living things. In Term 2, they became historians and researched the changes that have occurred over time in the local area. The students spent a very wet day walking around Canterbury learning about the history of the area by listening to both the President of the Canterbury and Camberwell Historical Societies. In Term 3, the students became experts on the meaning of the symbols on the Australian flag and came up with their own flag designs that included symbols to represent Indigenous Australians, and ones that would make the Australian flag unique. In Term 4, they attended a seriously fun Science incursion where they got to use the magic of dry ice to create everlasting bubbling fountains and cool chemical fire extinguishers. They also went to Scienceworks to learn how the Earth’s rotation on its axis affects the day and night cycle.

However, the absolute highlight of the year was definitely the Year 3 Camp to Gundiwindi lodge. The opportunity to go on the heartracing 18-metre-high giant swing and fly down a 150m flying fox were just some of the reasons why the Year 3s will never forget their first overnight school camp.

Throughout 2022, it has been a pleasure getting to know and teach this group of curious, thoughtful, and heart-working students.

Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back

Year 3 were thrilled that they were finally involved in the biannual Years 3 to 5 production and were ecstatic when they learnt they were going to play the role of Lord Yoga’s apprentices, in the production Star Warts:The Umpire Strikes Back. It certainly was a crazy galactic space adventure light years from home for the apprentices that had names like Axe, Bax, Crax, Drax, Fax, Max, Quax, and Wax. The Year 3s believed that they looked amazing in their dark-coloured obis and brown pants on Plant Pilates where they got to sing the energetic song, Squeeze the Sauce.

NAPLAN

In Year 3, we completed NAPLAN (National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy). The assessment tested our skills in numeracy, reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. The hardest test was the writing because we only had 40 minutes to brainstorm, plan, write, and edit a narrative. After completing the assessment, we all thought that it was a lot easier than we had anticipated. In fact, NAPLAN was a blast!

Anthony Li and Scott Yao

George Ivanhoff

During Book Week, we had the pleasure of meeting the very zany and funny author, George Ivanhoff. He has been responsible for writing many of the books that we love to read, especially his Survival Guides and choose your own adventure novels. We learnt that he bases his books on his personal experiences and that once he writes his first draft, he has to revise it many times before it is ready to publish. Even though he made us squirm with his gruesome stories of cutting his finger deeply and holding a spider the size of a dinner plate, we were all very entertained and grateful that we had the experience of getting to meet him.

Ethan Zhu and Ryan Xu-Zhang

Healesville Sanctuary

Scratch! Scratch! Scratch! The kangaroo lazily lies on the lush green grass as he enjoys the nice weather. Year 3 had a remarkable adventure at Healesville Sanctuary. These are some of the amazing Australian animals we saw. The Mountain-Pygmy Possums’ black eyes and furry ears stood out as they sniffed their way out of a dark hole. It was so small and cute, its tiny little eye sparkled in the red light. The amazing bird show started with birds soaring miraculously in the sky. The wedge-tail eagle’s beak pecked rapidly for juicy, revolting bugs. We felt the birds gliding gracefully in the air. The emu had soft, fluffy feathers but we saw it attack the ground aggressively in search of a worm to eat. We were all thankful that we were not that worm! We had the best day at Healesville Sanctuary!

House Swimming Carnival

SPLASH! The Year 3s entered the water for their first-ever Swimming Carnival. We were hyped for our first-ever Swimming Carnival. Year 3 was up first. The crowd was thrilled and our hearts were beating so fast that they were in our throats. When we finished, the crowd lost their marbles. Although we were doubtful and had butterflies in our stomachs at first, the experience was not bad at all! The House Swimming Carnival was a blast!

Josh Ko and Aiden Ding

House Cross Country

‘Take your marks, GO!’ Suddenly, everyone bolted through the park. We could feel the breeze blowing on our faces. Kimi was in the distance, he was trying to overtake Eoin who had taken the lead. We sprinted past the Senior School classrooms, it was like a blur. ‘Keep going!’ Mrs Rice cheered. We could see The Green up ahead. Then all of a sudden Alex overtook Kimi. Our legs were aching. Eoin reached the finish line first and watched us, while we crossed the finish line.

‘Wow!’ we thought. Although it felt longer than anticipated, we all really enjoyed it. Only this kind of joy comes from finishing Cross Country!

Kimi Xi, Alexander Bhattacharjee, and Eoin Whelan

Australian Flag

In 1901, Ivor Evans was only 14 years old when he won a competition to design an Australian Flag. In Term 2, Year 3 started to ask some questions about the design created by Ivor. Does the flag represent all Australians? Is the Australian flag too similar to the British and New Zealand flag? After considering and debating the topic, we all created a new design for the Australian flag following the five principles of flag design. Many of our flags contained symbols important to the Indigenous people of Australia. After viewing and discussing the new flags, we were all left wondering, should the Australian flag be changed?

Chris Jiang and Gordon Chen

ANZAC Cookies

There is one thing that all Year 3 students agree on, ‘ANZAC biscuits smell and taste delicious’. In Term 3, we had the opportunity to write recipes and bake some delicious ANZAC cookies. We first had to watch a video on how to make ANZAC cookies and then we had to write a detailed recipe that we had to follow to make the sweet cookies. Each group baked at least 20 delicious ANZAC cookies. It was fun, messy, and a finger-licking time!

Year 4

Year 4 has had such a positive experience in 2022. Free from Covid-19 lockdowns and distance learning, we have enjoyed and benefited from the company of each other. Beginning the year with team-based activities on school camp was definitely a highlight. Year 4s worked together on the shores of Anglesea, learnt life-saving skills, experienced the beauty of their natural surroundings, and bonded during their two-night camp trip. Upon their return to the classroom, they explored the concept of the relationships that assist the survival of living things and their interdependence by conducting experiments and observing plant growth under different conditions. In Term 2, we sought to answer the question ‘How Does The Environment Sustain Life?’ and we investigated the ways in which we can make informed decisions about our impact on the environment and increase our use of products and materials that are more sustainable. We also learnt how to sustain an audience’s attention with well-delivered lines and theatrical enthusiasm in our performances in Star Warts as part of the Junior School production.

We then set sail in Term 3 and ventured back in time to the era of famous explorers. Focusing on the period between 1400 and 1800, the boys became historical researchers and navigated early trade routes, and discovered how the world became more connected. They were even welcomed aboard a former trade ship known as the Polly Woodside and experienced the drudgery of sweeping the deck and the many skills that were crucial for a successful voyage. Finally in Term 4 we returned back to the shores of Australia, walked in the shoes of the First Fleet convicts, and reflected on the relationship between Indigenous Australians and their land.

Throughout our journey, we remembered our Yeti mindset through calculations, observations, and innovations. Whether participating in specialist or classroom lessons, this year was an adventure!

Camp

At Point Roadknight Beach in Anglesea, we learnt how to perform CPR and survival skills as well as boogie boarding and beach games. We had lots of fun balancing on our boogie boards and surfing through the waves with our teachers and lifeguards.

We were floating in the water with life jackets strapped on, learning what to do when you are stranded in the middle of the ocean. I clutched on tightly to my friend’s hand, bracing myself for the impact of the cold salty water. The instructor told us that we had to hold hands, shout for help, and not panic. I saw a wave edging closer every second I closed my eyes. WHOOSH! The wave crashed over our heads. We were washed to the shore. My hair was drenched with ice-cold seawater. The next activity we did was paddleboarding.

Floating in the river in a kayak and paddling in the water was calm and relaxing… that was until we had a race back to the start. ‘1, 2, 1, 2!’ I chanted as we kayaked in the dazzling lake, foamy water flecked at the boat as the paddles cut smoothly through the clear water. We connected arms with other kayakers as we spun slowly in the cool, fresh air. Paddling in these colourful boats was just a pleasure I could not resist.

We were splashing water everywhere as we paddled across the river and when we got back we went on an island in the middle of the lake. When somebody shouted ‘alligator!’ we quickly paddled back to shore.

My legs were shaking as I walked up the many spiral stairs of the Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet. Sounds of metal clanging under heavy footsteps echoed inside the cavernous lighthouse. When I got to the top, wind whipped my face, and I gripped my hat tight, not daring to let go. Whoa, heights! We could see the whole of Anglesea from all the way up there! The wind quickly whipped through our hair while we were waving down happily to kids from the other class.

Catching yabbies was amazing! We caught a giant yabby and it was blue but we almost caught a bigger black yabbie. We used meat on the end of a piece of string to lure the yabbies, then once you feel that little chomp you need to slowly reel your string in. We had to be quick with the net but also really slow so they didn’t notice any movement. Sometimes we even caught two yabbies at the same time. At the end we let them all crawl back into the lake.

Camp was so enjoyable that I wish that I could time travel back to the time we were there.

THE FOLLOWING REFLECTIONS WERE WRITTEN BY THE BOYS OF YEAR 4A AND YEAR 4B:

Polly Woodside

We were so excited when we finally arrived! I smelt the salty, bitter sea air and learnt the size differences between the ships that are bigger and smaller than others. As I stepped foot on the Polly Woodside I thought I would feel the swaying of the boat, but the wooden floorboards felt like solid ground. We took a tour of Polly Woodside and learnt about its past. It was actually a cargo ship used to transport loads of resources.

One by one, down the narrow pathways, we travelled below the deck and experienced what it was like to be a true sailor. We saw a massive load of coal and guano on top of many other resources being transported as cargo. We heard about the things that the crew on the ship had to go through. You try sleeping on a foam mattress that’s rocking up and down as you try to sleep. We just had to imagine it, they had to live it! Scrubbing the deck and steering the rudder from the gigantic helm were hard yards.

Science and Biology: Plants, Life Cycles, and Sustainability

A highlight of Term 1 was the Science topics investigating plants and life cycles. We spent some time growing bean plants in different materials such as green gravel. It was very interesting to see how the newly born bean sprouts grew more slowly or faster depending on what it was grown in. I didn’t know that the bean sprouts would die in water and was surprised when they stopped growing after a week.

Later, in Term 2 we learnt about sustainability and how to protect our fragile environment. There are so many ways we can do this! We can use green energies like solar and wind energy and reduce pollution by carpooling. There are so many ways to help the environment!

Explorers

Click, click, click! We were off and away, researching our explorers, adventuring, looking at their achievements, finding information, and building on prior knowledge. I was so excited when we got to pick explorers. I was very happy that I got my favourite explorer. Each of us focused on a specific explorer. We even learnt new skills along the way. We needed to put the newly discovered information into our own words and showcase the information in a biography that we later published using Canva.

Did you know that the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt tested the poison curare and lived? Did you know that Marco Polo lived up to 70 years old? Researching about early explorers, both famous and lesser-known was the best thing all year! First, we researched using Britannica and World Book. Along the way, I learnt lots of interesting facts. For example, did you know that Alexander was a government mine inspector before he was an explorer? I didn’t even know him until now. It turns out that he even discovered armadillos, toucans, and electric eels!

Friday Afternoon Sport

In Term 2 we had a chance to choose a sport to play on Friday afternoons. Our choices were Soccer, Football, and Handball. Some afternoons we got on the bus to go to PEGS or Trinity, some afternoons we played House competition, and some afternoons we were training!

Art

In Art, we created art pieces with the subject: Before Camberwell. First, we painted animals in their habitats. Then, we painted knight shields and, finally, we sewed monkeys! While sewing our monkeys, we had to individualise them with a significant addition. I put a baby monkey in the monkey’s pouch. We also got to name our monkeys. I named mine Bob! I looked excitedly at my completed fabric monkey, it had a pouch that even had a brown baby monkey and a banana. Making the monkeys was so much fun! After sewing our monkeys together we stuffed our monkeys. The stuffing was very fluffy! I was sewing, cutting, and stitching for weeks, but it all came together in the end!

Year 5

2022 has been a year filled with excitement, challenges, learning, adventure and growth for our Year 5 boys. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to have a complete year at school without the interruptions of lockdowns or distance learning.

Over the course of the year, we have witnessed our boys grow into young leaders of the future. The boys have made a lasting legacy on the Junior School through their endeavours this year in leading fundraising events for Alex Makes Meals, nurturing a caring relationship with their buddies, representing the School at inter-school music and sporting events with pride and respect, and by challenging their thinking through their efforts in the Science Talent Search. As the boys transition into Middle School, we hope they will take with them a love and passion for learning, persist when challenged by showing a Yeti mindset, and, most importantly, show kindness towards others and themselves through their words, actions and gestures.

Mr Mathew McRae and Mr Michael Pettolino Year 5 Teachers

Student Leadership Executive

In Term 1, students from Year 5 had an opportunity to become a Junior School Leader. We had to create a persuasive poster and speech and then present it to our peers and teachers. We learnt about persuasive devices to engage our intended audience. In our leadership campaigns, we included information about our character traits, skills, talents, and vision for the School. Twelve students were elected to become part of the Student Leadership Executive at the end of Term 1. The students meet fortnightly with teachers to implement programs and initiatives aimed at fundraising and friendraising. In Term 2 and Term 3, we organised a Toy and Book Fair to raise money for Alex Makes Meals Alex Makes Meals is a local charity that supports people who are experiencing homelessness or domestic violence by providing warm and tasty meals. In total, the Student Leadership Executive was able to raise $1,050 for Alex Makes Meals Also, we led an initiative to reduce the use of soft plastics in the Junior School. We developed educational videos to teach students about the impacts of soft plastics and we also set up collection bags in every classroom so that we can take the plastic to be recycled at our local supermarkets.

Writing in Year 5

Throughout the year, we have been learning to write different types of texts for different purposes. In Term 1, we explored persuasive writing and learnt how to incorporate PEEL paragraphs and language features to persuade the reader.

In Term 2, we got creative and learnt how to write scientific narratives using information about plant and animal adaptations in our writing. We have been learning to embed the six traits of writing so that we can become more creative and fluent writers. In Term 3, we explored how to write an effective discussion showcasing two sides of an argument and various forms of poetry, including limericks, haikus, cinquains, and ballads. We became experts at using figurative language in our writing to paint a picture for our readers.

Alexander Au and Brian Yan

Winter Sport

In Term 2, students from Years 4-6 had an opportunity to participate in a Round Robin competition against Trinity Grammar and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. We competed in European Handball, AFL, and Soccer. We trained weekly with our coaches and travelled to other schools every three weeks to compete. The students loved playing against other schools. It taught us how important it is to work together as a team and to persist when things get challenging. Many of us learnt new skills and improved our fitness over the term.

House Events

Each year, students in Year 5 compete in House Events. Some of the competitions we participated in were House Swimming, House Cross Country, and House Athletics. During our PE lessons and Friday sport, we would participate in training to develop our skills ready for competition. Year 5 students also coordinated a House Games Day in Term 1 as an opportunity for students from different grades to come together to compete against each other. We planned a range of games to cater for the varying ages of students, including Gaga Ball, Parachute, Skeeters, Finnska, Spike Ball, and Picture Find.

Science Talent Search

This year, Year 5 participated in a competition called the Science Talent Search in Term 2. Our theme of the competition was ‘Glass: More Than Meets The Eye’. Students had to choose a topic related to the theme, research it and then present their findings in different ways. Some students chose to write a story, create a poster, take photos, build a game or create a working model. Over the course of the term, we worked closely with our teachers and Ms Rutter to develop our research skills, including using online search engines and encyclopaedias, summarising, evaluating websites, writing bibliographies, and presenting information using infographics and tables. The projects were very informative!

Year 5 Camp

Year 5 Camp at Candlebark Farm was one of the most enjoyable experiences this year. Students participated in a range of fun and exciting outdoor activities like the Giant Swing, Talent Show, Archery, Rock Climbing, Orienteering, and Gaga Ball. Students slept in comfy cabins and had early mornings every day. Some students woke up as early as 6.00am and read books in bed or played Exploding Kittens. We loved camp because it gave us an opportunity to make new friends, get to know our new teachers for the year, and challenge ourselves with activities that we had never done before. We enjoyed delicious cuisine including tasty pasta, juicy steaks, boiled potatoes, and delicious hot dogs. On the bus trip back, we were really tired and exhausted. Some of us were caught snoring as we slept. All of us are really looking forward to the next camp!

House Games Day

A very important part of Year 5 was hosting the House Games Day which was an event held in Term 1. There were many events that made the day amazing! I was a coach for the Houses when we were playing Finska. All levels competed, from Prep to Year 5. Before the event, we spent a week planning for it. We set the groups into older students and younger students. The teachers came and checked on our routine, and we had to write down a speech to make sure we gave clear and concise instructions.

The memorable experience of House Games Day will carry us through all of Year 5 and perhaps Year 6 as well. Looking after the small children we once were, was both exciting and difficult due to their lack of focus and ability to constantly move. The activities we played and helped the younger ones with were also incredibly enjoyable as there was a whole lot of variety of games.

Toy and Book Fair

The Toy and Book Fair was the first Junior School charity event of 2022 to raise money for the organisation called Alex Makes Meals, which helps to feed homeless people. Students donated toys and books that were priced from $1-$5. All of the students of the Junior School had the opportunity to buy the donated toys and books, and all of the money went to Alex Makes Meals. There was also a raffle that students could enter for $1 to have a chance to win some expensive toys and books. The winners were revealed at a later Assembly. The Toy and Book Fair was an especially successful fundraiser.

Excursion to Melbourne Zoo

Year 5 had an amazing day at Melbourne Zoo. This excursion was focused on the topic of Term 2, Sharing the Planet. The day started off slightly wetter than needed but soon the sun shone through the clouds. Many animals not usually seen came out to enjoy the sunshine. The day was filled with excitement and curiosity, we split up into groups and ventured into the abyss of the humongous zoo. Led by the teachers and volunteering parents, each group set off to see animals and look at their structural, behavioural, and physiological adaptations. They put their discoveries into the zoo booklet and rushed around the zoo for keeper talks.

Junior School Production

In the last week of Term 2, students from Years 3-5 participated in a production called Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back Auditions were done, lines were learnt, and songs were put together, creating an incredible musical. Every class had a song to sing and every student took part. The main cast had rehearsals every Tuesday after school. There were lots of costumes, backgrounds, and props! We had lots of fun performing on the big stage and everybody enjoyed the performance!

Star Warts was an elating experience for students from Years 3, 4, and 5.

Soft Plastics Initiative

The soft plastic initiative was a great idea from the Student Leadership Executive. We started auditing soft plastics to see how much soft plastics we disposed into the bins, and to see how many students bought soft plastic to school. After we audited this soft plastic we gave a talk to the Junior School about how much soft plastic they disposed of over the weeks we audited the soft plastic. We answered the questions of what happens to soft plastics in the environment, how soft plastics can be recycled, and what actions we can take to reduce the amount of plastic brought to school.

Buddies

In Year 5 we spent time with Prep and Year 1 buddies. We did fun activities together such as colouring in, scavenger hunts, drawing, and many more great activities. It was really heartwarming to see our buddies having fun in the playground and they knew that they could always ask us for help. When we saw our buddies we could either do work in the Year 5 classroom or the buddies’ classroom. The people in 5A had Prep buddies whereas the people in 5B had Year 1 buddies. We loved spending time with our buddies and they loved it too. The older Year 5 students helped the younger grades and we think it is a good idea for younger and older grades to socialise. It is always fun to see our buddies having fun. The Year 5s like teaching younger grades skills and facts; we all love spending time with our buddies.

Junior School Library

In 2022, the Junior Library was excited to welcome Norge boys back into our wonderful learning space. As we embraced the new year, our library maintained its commitment to fostering a lifelong love of reading, supporting student wellbeing, and promoting 21st-century information skills and critical literacy. The return of programs such as Buddy Reading, Book Week celebrations, and lunchtime activities ensured the Junior Library remained a valued space for boys to meet, learn, share, read, and relax.

Providing high-quality information resources and encouraging an active reading culture continued to be our focus for students, staff, and families. Teaching and Learning programs were supported through the delivery of specialised information literacy sessions, targeted web resources, and curriculum-responsive materials. Fiction and non-fiction reading collections provided boys with diverse, inclusive, and rich literary experiences while also reflecting their varied reading interests.

A variety of new digital technologies were integrated into our DEEDS platform in 2022. As part of our library services, the primary-school-specific online encyclopaedia, RedeLearn, was added to our research portal, along with the ‘Question Generator’ webtool supporting the development of early inquiry skills. A selection of new apps, including several enabling augmented reality storytelling, were added to Junior Library iPads, and Edison and Probot robots became part of our growing coding resource collection. A very popular addition to our library DEEDS page, and complement to our catalogue Orbit, has been the widget ‘Huey the Bookbot’. Huey is an interactive recommendation tool offering a fun way to find new books to read.

As the year progressed boys shared in a number of special literary events. In May we celebrated National Simultaneous Storytime, an annual event that aims to engage children in the value of reading and the wonder of books. The story ‘Family Tree’ celebrating family, community, and the seasons of life was read aloud by Mr Kelly during our assembly. We were also very pleased to again participate in The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge, promoting the importance of reading for literacy development. This year all Junior School boys were registered for the PRC with some entire classes completing the Challenge.

The highlight of 2022 was the return of our traditional Book Week celebrations under the theme Dreaming with Eyes Open. Junior Library was transformed into a world of amazing displays and reading adventures. Students enjoyed onsite visits from authors Renee Treml and George Ivanoff. Classes engaged in hands-on, real-world learning of the writing and illustration process; while also being inspired by a passion for writing. We were invaded by many and varied book characters at the Book Week costume parade where creativity and literature combined for lots of fun. Lunchtimes were abuzz with quiz and code-breaking games, craft activities, augmented reality exploration, and reading by torchlight. It was a glorious week celebrating books, Australian children’s authors and illustrators, and most importantly, the joy of reading.

Middle School

Middle School Report

I wonder what schools would have been like through the Great Depression. The prolonged social and economic unrest following World War I and II would have been devastating. I am not sure how the last few years compare, but they must be the most challenging in many of our lifetimes. Each of us can face life’s difficulties at any particular moment and these have certainly become more accentuated by the uncertainty resulting from the lockdowns.

The Middle Years are a time when students go from having most of the decisions made for them, to a time when they want to start making more decisions for themselves. There are also a number of other changes that we have to consider throughout these important years. This year we had all of that to consider while factoring in the wellbeing and academic impacts from 2020/21 that students, parents, and staff had to contend with.

Indeed, following the long summer holidays, the return to school is usually accompanied by feelings of dread and panic. But this year was very different as most students and staff happily swapped their boardshorts and sleep-ins for school attire and alarm clocks; bustling to get back into the classroom and school routine.

Whilst we were not returning from a war, we were returning from a trauma of another kind; with significant implications on our community’s mental, physical, and academic wellbeing. This year, our Parent Education and Personal and Social Development programs were tweaked to help us address the current needs.

We strengthened our partnerships with The Man Cave and Elephant Ed, and restored our Entrepreneurship Program (Opportunity Challenge) this year in conjunction with Fintona and Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College. This program is always followed by the Year 8 Social, and a sincere thanks to Mr Smith, Ms Massey as well as several staff from Camberwell Grammar, Fintona, and Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College.

We also paid particular attention to all the processes that help students transition and establish connections with their peers.

School camps, concerts, plays, sport, House and Friday Activities, Outdoor Education, and excursions. We had a lot of ground to make up for and we were going to do all we could to restore our school culture, which makes the School such a special place. The return to schooling on-site saw us regain the social connections that we craved throughout 2020/21.

In addition to this, and as a result of the pandemic, we streamlined communication, offering parent education and PTI sessions from the safety and convenience of our homes. Through the trial of hybrid models, we are learning what works and how they can be exercised to make learning more engaging and successful. While the world reviews the purpose of education in schools, we are also looking to capitalise from unrest, to ensure all of our systems are reinvigorated.

We are very fortunate to be a part of such a supportive and positive community and there is no doubt that our community is stronger as a result of the hardship experienced over the past couple of years. Thanks to the versatility of our talented teaching and support staff and the industriousness of our students, we were able to find ways of doing things that not only adapted our teaching and learning to overcome the obstacles, but to improve teaching and learning.

This year, in the classroom, we introduced new subjects aimed at enhancing positive interactions and developing 21st Century skills. Drama, Music, and languages were restructured so that all students had the opportunity to take part in House groups. We also introduced Creative Design Solutions (CDS) and STEM.

‘The purpose of a Camberwell Grammar education is not to change our students, but to help them to explore, foster, and mould their strengths to make a positive impact on the world.’

In 2022, the return of Sport could not have come sooner for our Middle School students. Many of our students gain so much of their self-esteem, camaraderie, and school culture through their involvement in school Sport. This year featured many of our Middle School students in the Swimming and Athletics Premierships; an unbelievable achievement in one year. Additionally, the increased participation in ‘voluntary activities’ like Swimming, Athletics, Cadets, hikes, and Waterpolo is a true reflection of how much the students missed their sport and how grateful they are to be a part of this school.

In Term 3, Music students were excited and stretched through the Hamer Hall Concert, and what a highlight that proved to be for all involved. Furthermore, several other concerts, both big and small were held. The Middle School play The Time Machine came at a time when Covid-19 restrictions were all but forgotten and it was a true celebration of the theatrical talent that exists here at Camberwell Grammar. Through the careful watch of Mrs Penelope Wood, the play saw eleven Lyrebird nominations; quite a remarkable achievement.

In Outdoor Education and Camps, Ms Kirsty McDougall did an amazing job balancing each of her roles this year. This year was particularly challenging, not only moving Year 7 to Kangaroobie and Year 8 to Lake Eildon, but also running Year 8 and 9 camps at the same time to ensure that disruptions to teaching and learning were minimised.

In Term 4, Open Day was a celebration of the wonderfully talented and supportive people in our community. A stunningly beautiful day, only eclipsed by the generosity of the Friends of Groups, participation of our students, and the industriousness of all of our staff.

The purpose of a Camberwell Grammar education is to help them to explore, foster, and mould their strengths to make a positive impact on the world.

As always Mr Scott Wyatt, Mr Shaun Burke, and Mrs Georgia Barnes were critical to the running of the Middle School, whilst subject coordinators provided an engaging and robust curriculum for teaching and learning.

I am sure that in 2022 we were all very proud to play a significant role at Camberwell Grammar School.

Mr Troy Stanley Head of Middle School

Year 6

Sustainability Week Program

In June, Year 6 students took part in a Sustainability Week program – an opportunity for the students to immerse themselves in the diverse environment they live in and at the same time appreciate the impact they have on it.

Activities and experiences included a trip to the Melbourne Zoo, an engaging walk in the natural elements at the Dandenong Ranges 1000 Steps, viewing the natural world from a different perspective at The Mighty Micro Monsters in 3D at Imax, and a walk in the Botanical Gardens to understand how it all fits together.

Students concluded the week by debating a range of topics on Sustainability from vegetarianism, electric cars, and animal rights to genetically modified food. For many students, it was the first time they were involved in an official running of a debate.

Adrian Beck Visit

In August, the Year 6 students were fortunate to have children’s author, Adrian Beck, visit Camberwell Grammar. Adrian is a successful author of picture books and popular series, such as Stop the Dad Jokes and Derek Dool. Adrian spoke to the students about his writing journey and shared inspirational ideas around how to craft interesting narratives.

Many thanks to the Le Page family for arranging this opportunity for the students through their fundraising for a school that lost everything in the Lismore Floods in NSW.

The students were inspired by this generosity and, with the help of the Le Page family, raised over $1,000 in gift cards for Lismore South Public School, which will be using the funds to help rebuild its classrooms and create a new learning environment for its students.

The Man Cave

Students were able to be part of The Man Cave program in Term 4. The theme of the workshop was around celebrating graduation from Year 6 and looking forward to the exciting opportunities that they will have when they move into Year 7.

The workshop gave the students the opportunity to celebrate and honour each other and the experiences they have had in their journey at Camberwell Grammar up until this point. The Man Cave program also discussed the new and exciting opportunities that Year 7 will bring for them – including new relationships and personal growth opportunities. The program allows the students to understand tools they can call on to help them navigate through these new challenges in a positive way.

In the days after the program, many of the students expressed their delight in being part of something that allows them to gain further emotional strength. Especially considering the change they are about to embark on when a new group of Year 7 students begins at Camberwell Grammar. The students expressed how glad they were knowing they were going to be part of another Man Cave program in the future.

Science, Electricity Unit –Construction of Lightsabers

T he students began the electricity unit by determining how to join the flow of electricity through a battery using resistors that flowed into copper to light up small LEDs that had been soldered onto a copper panel. The lights were fixed to the copper board by using soldering irons, flux, and solder prior to placing the battery onto the copper. The students were then assessed on the skills they had learnt, and this was the beginning of the initial stages of the Lightsaber Project.

The students connected switches, speakers, and battery packs to their board as their lightsabers began to take shape. All of these details took many weeks, and the students faced many hurdles considering how delicate each step of the project was.

With well over six weeks of work in our Science classes, this was the most complicated and time-consuming project, however, it was very rewarding to see the teamwork and sense of selfaccomplishment each group achieved in the final weeks of the term. Well done on creating such a memorable moment within the Year 6 Science unit.

Mr Nathan Jones and Mr Dominic McLaughlin Year 6 Teachers

Year 7

The Man Cave

The Man Cave regularly visits Camberwell Grammar School and met with our Year 7 Form Groups in Semester 1. They conducted various activities designed to encourage the students to reflect on themselves and their interactions with others. The groups were a safe space, where students could share their experiences and feelings, and receive support from their peers. Towards the end of the day, it was clear that the Form Group had bonded together through the conversations and activities, and felt stronger and more confident in themselves.

Visit to CERES

Year 7 students went on an excursion to CERES, an environmental education centre, community garden, and urban farm.

With the guidance of CERES educators, students took part in hands-on activities which allowed them to explore, learn, and engage with different topics addressing sustainability. Students were asked to question and problem-solve issues facing their communities and to explore solutions to increase sustainability at both the School and at home.

BODi Day

Year 7 students participated in the annual BODi (By Our Deeds Inquiry) Day. The theme was ‘Overall Health and Wellbeing’.

Students participated in fun activities that enhance health and wellbeing, including fitness/gym, running, yoga, pilates, nutrition, and sleep workshops.

Students also watched a performance by the award-winning theatre company, Brainstorm Productions. Their show The Hurting Game is a live theatre experience that addresses issues of perfectionism, anxiety, peer pressure, and digital citizenship.

New Year 7 Subjects

This year, Middle School introduced four new subjects with the foresight of enriching the curriculum: STEM, Digital Citizenship, Drama, and Creative Design Solutions.

In Creative Design Solutions (CDS), students started by exploring creativity and collaboration – what they look like, why they are important, and how to build effective collaborative partnerships and develop their creativity.

STEM builds important social and critical thinking skills, particularly around collaboration and problem-solving. Students were given a challenge based on simple machines to design and construct a device to meet the challenge.

Digital Citizenship provided students with the skills they need to navigate an increasingly technological world and how to do so safely. Students focused on creating effective folder structures, digital identity, wellbeing, operating safely online and being aware of their digital footprint, as well as becoming familiar with software used to create charts and present and manipulate data to make short films and dynamic presentations.

Drama is an opportunity for students to express their ideas through voice and movement. They worked on specific skills and brought these to various scenarios, culminating in a broader performance at the end of the term.

Year 7 Music Trial Program

In Year 7, all students who are not currently learning an instrument are given the opportunity to take up an orchestral instrument of their choice. In Semester 1, lessons are free of charge for these students. This is an excellent opportunity for students to experience playing an instrument and working with their peers in small groups.

At the start of the School year, our wonderful instrumental music staff will give demonstrations on each of the instruments to help the students decide on which instrument they would like to learn. Students will be paired with others learning the same instrument in fun and stimulating group lessons.

In Semester 2, students who choose to continue learning their instrument will participate in the Year 7 Band Class, whilst those who decide not to continue on their instrument will develop their musical skills in the Music Discovery class.

Mr Mark Kerr Head of Music Curriculum

‘This year, Middle School introduced four new subjects with the foresight of enriching the curriculum: STEM, Digital Citizenship, Drama, and Creative Design Solutions.’

Year 8

The Man Cave

Over the Middle School years, students have the opportunity to work with The Man Cave, an energetic and thought-provoking team that empowers students to become great men. Year 8 students spent a day workshopping the topic building ‘positive relationships’. Carrying on from last year, they discussed how to deal with problems that they face day-to-day, touching on areas such as trust, fun, respect, support, courage, building positive relationships with your peers, and ‘checking in’ to see if all is well.

Between discussions, students were involved in team bonding games inside and outside the classroom. The warm, friendly, and humorous approach from The Man Cave team, really engaged the students and helped them to consolidate their ideas about building positive relationships in the future.

Mr Shaun Burke Head of Middle School Operations

Courage to Care

In Term 1, our Year 8 cohort had the opportunity to hear firsthand experiences from those who escaped the atrocities of the Holocaust and World War 2, and the stories of the men and women who had the courage to help save them.

Through this Courage to Care program, students explore themes of racism, prejudice, stereotyping, and bullying and are encouraged to become Upstanders and not Bystanders. This program plays an integral part in the Middle School enrichment program, helping students to become caring and compassionate men of the future.

At the end of May, Ashton Semczyszyn, supported by Noah Smith, attended the ‘Courage to Care’ Education Breakfast Panel at the Ark Centre in Hawthorn East. A range of experts and academics talked about the importance of ‘Talking Upstander Action’. Holocaust Survivor Speaker Dr George Deutsch spoke, and Upstander Program graduate Ashton was interviewed, sharing his views on the importance of students learning about historical events, where upstander behaviour prevailed. Both students enjoyed talking with guests and were excellent ambassadors for the School.

Mr Shaun Burke Head of Middle School Operations

Indigenous Studies Week

In June, Year 8 students undertook a week of Indigenous studies. This program of on and offsite experiences immersed students in Indigenous culture through Art, Music, History, the natural world, and guest speakers. The week aimed to extend students’ appreciation of what it means to be Australian while fostering a deeper understanding of and respect for Australia’s Indigenous people and culture.

Many of the activities focused on ensuring that students acquired knowledge of Australia’s history, the injustices that many Indigenous people faced, and their resilience and strength in confronting and overcoming these challenges. They also learnt about the strength and vibrancy of Indigenous culture today, with the opportunity to hear from a range of Indigenous Australians who generously shared their knowledge, their stories, and their perspectives.

Throughout, a strong emphasis was placed on reconciliation and strengthening the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples for the benefit of all Australians.

Mr Shaun Burke Head of Middle School Operations

The Opportunity Challenge

The Opportunity Challenge, previously known as Projec10, has been a successful Year 8 initiative for almost ten years. There are many factors that make it successful – collaborating with girl schools, project-based learning, and entrepreneurial exploration are all contributors. However, the piece at the heart of the project is the philanthropic base on which it stands: assisting Opportunity International Australia, a global microfinance organisation working with developing countries.

In Term 3, over 350 Year 8 students from Canterbury Girls Secondary College, Fintona, and Camberwell Grammar joined forces to form small groups to plan and implement their entrepreneurial ideas; mimicking the microfinance model. Through their development of small businesses, they will contribute toward Opportunity International Australia’s efforts of removing 6.8 million families from poverty.

Each student started the project with a seed fund of $10 each and, through initial meetings and planning sessions, worked in small groups to develop their business plan, forecast and manage budgets, and execute their business plan. At the end of the program, the students pay back the original seed fund and their profits are donated via The Opportunity Challenge. In total, the project raised over $3,500 as well as a multitude of new friendship bonds.

Year 8 Outdoor Activities

This program offers students the opportunity to try something new and extend themselves beyond their comfort zone. The activities are designed to enable students to experience new challenges in a safe, controlled environment under the guidance of qualified experts which they may encounter on Outdoor Education Camps.

Activities occur in Term 2 and 4, and include horse riding, whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, sailing, rowing, off-road biking, and kayaking. Students are able to select a different activity for each term. We were so pleased to be able to hold activities in both terms this year after last year’s Term 4 program had been cancelled due to the pandemic.

The students, who participate in two half-day sessions and a full-day immersed in their chosen activity, thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to develop new skills and cement friendships this year. How lucky our students are to have access to such incredible initiatives which promote health and wellbeing outside of school.

Ms Kirsty McDougall Head of Co-Curricular Activities

Beyond the Classroom

Years 7 and 8 Debating

The Years 7 and 8 Debating season involved more than 50 students and was based at Camberwell Grammar over four weeks. The sessions were lively, with a mix of model debating and performance debates which showed the students the finer points of debating procedures and protocols.

Run by the Debaters’ Association of Victoria (DAV), Camberwell Grammar entered six teams and debated students from Strathcona, Scotch, Balwyn High School, and Siena. Pleasingly all six teams won their debates on the final evening of the program with our six best debaters participating in the Open Day Debate for the PAJ Robinson Shield.

Mr Paul Double Middle School Debating Coordinator

‘This program offers students the opportunity to try something new and extend themselves beyond their comfort zone.’

Middle School Friday Activities

2022 provided the opportunity for an uninterrupted Friday Activities program. During Term 2, the Year 7 students participated in a range of activities offered by the Year 7 Form teachers, all designed to broaden the students’ school experiences. The students were able to select a five-week program, introducing them to activities such as Golf, Fencing, Taekwondo, and Chess.

In Term 3, all Middle School students participated in the program and were able to choose from an extended range of options including an introduction to Squash, Indoor Cricket, Circuit Training, and more passive options such as Board and Card Games, Model Making, and Music Making with Sibelius.

My thanks are extended to the Middle School staff who were willing to share their passions and skills with the students each Friday afternoon.

Mr Matthew Christopher Friday Activities Coordinator

Service Learning Program

In Term 4, Years 6 and 7 commenced their four-week Service Learning Program, designed to give students an insight into service and to consider what they could do to help others, as well as the enormous benefits of selfless acts.

During this program, students heard from people who have taken up occupations in the service and NFP industries, took part in charity fundraising, learnt about teamwork, and assisted in hands-on service around the School whilst learning basic skills from our property and maintenance teams.

This year was the first time the program was run, and the aim is that the students can transfer some of their learning into their own homes.

Senior School

The transition back to a consistent period of on-site school this year provided so many opportunities for students to experience challenges, connections, and personal progress. Concerts, performances, excursions, sport, debates, House activities, community service, assessments, and exams to name but a few of these opportunities for students to engage and strive to achieve their personal best. But the transition did take a period of adjustment to establish routines and habits that have not consistently been present over the past two years.

One of our most important events for the year took place in late Term 1 when the Performing Arts Centre hosted a special memorial service for Max McKenzie. We fondly remembered Max’s zest for life, sense of humour, and love of Camberwell Grammar and we heard of the many adventures and special times with both family and friends. The service was certainly a celebration of the wonderful contribution Max made to the lives of all who knew him and was a fitting tribute to him.

On the sports field, Senior School students represented Camberwell Grammar with passion, camaraderie, and determination, which saw our most successful year of Sport in the School’s history and included the School’s 100th AGSV Premiership. Premierships were won across a wide range of sports including Tennis, Table Tennis, and Water Polo. We also won our first Premiership in Baseball and achieved back-to-back titles in Swimming. In the first year of the AGSV, Camberwell Grammar won the inaugural Athletics title, and this year we won the 100th Athletics Premiership. Students across the School demonstrated their dedication, talent, and teamwork throughout Summer, Winter, and Spring Sport Seasons by attending training, developing their skills, and wearing the School colours with pride, regardless of the result of individual matches.

The Performing Arts provided an outstanding program of opportunities for students to experience both the toil and thrill of the stage, explore their interests and passions, and challenge themselves throughout 2022. The soundtrack to Term 1 was the

Senior School Report

uplifting sound of singing rehearsals in anticipation of the first House competition of the year, House Music. As a new member of the Camberwell Grammar community, I was filled with joy, awe, and pride at what the students were able to achieve in such a short preparation period.

The Senior School Musical The Threepenny Opera, which was held on campus in the famous Spiegeltent, was a tremendous success. It was a wonderful production and reflected the talent, commitment, and sheer hard work of all members of the cast and crew.

After two years of delays, postponements, and cancellations, our community was again able to enjoy the extraordinary performances at the Chamber Concert, and this year also saw the inaugural Jazz Night held during Term 2. House Drama also made a welcome return and followed the theme ‘Fast Films’. It was uplifting to see a range of students from Year 9 through to Year 12 involved in each performance.

There is no question that one of the highlights of 2022 was the Biennial Concert in Term 3. The sense of community that filled Hamer Hall, the emotion felt as Camberwell Grammar students sang the Anthem from Chess to close the evening, and the amazing talent of the students who performed throughout the Concert, combined to make it an experience that will long be remembered by students, staff, and parents.

Students at Camberwell Grammar are both encouraged and challenged to make a positive difference in the lives of others. One of the most tangible ways for students to engage in helping others is through the many opportunities for community service and contribution. This year, led by the School Prefects, House Prefects, and members of the Rotary Interact Club, a wide range of causes were supported by the School Community which included the Salvation Army, Operation Toilets, RUOK Day, FORaMEAL, IDAHOBIT Day, Kids Under Cover, HoMie, the ‘Push Up Challenge’, and the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

During the year, the Heads of House and School Prefects led the inaugural Camberwell Grammar Respect Week which proved to be a huge success. Throughout the week, students were involved in activities focused on the concept of respect for self and others as part of their Tutor Group periods. Past student Rob Vienet (2012) gave a tremendous keynote address about the concept of respect at the Senior School Assembly.

This year also coincided with the Federal Election, and with our location in one of the country’s most high-profile seats in this year’s campaign, students had the opportunity to hear from the two key candidates when Independent candidate for Kooyong, Dr Monique Ryan and the then Federal Treasurer, the Hon. Josh Frydenberg visited the School.

There has been so much to celebrate in 2022 as the return to a school year, free from the interruptions of lockdowns, has brought with it a sense of enjoyment and gratitude.

Each term has been filled with training and matches, practices and performances, rehearsals, and concerts. Students have grasped the chance to engage in an ever-increasing range of opportunities presented to them across academic, co-curricular, and pastoral domains. I wish to thank all members of the Senior School community – students, staff, and parents – for all you have contributed to life at Camberwell Grammar this year.

Valedictory Service 2021

The last two years have been extremely challenging for everyone –and for this particular cohort, they could not have come at a worse time, affecting in a profound way your final two years of school.

After one year of lockdowns, we had all hoped at the start of last year that we could put them behind us, and the year started promisingly enough. I remember the excitement and passion of Luke and Isaac and the House Captains, and all of you, and thinking that this was a particularly impressive group and looking forward to all that you would achieve. I remember speaking to all of you at the start of the year and telling you that the year would fly past very quickly and encouraging you to make the most of every opportunity that arose.

And then the coronavirus hit us again and threw all of our plans and our good intentions out the window once more. Sport was hit hard, music ensembles could not play together in person, and you weren’t even able to mess up the common room for very long. Luckily, we snuck an amazing School Play in, but once more, and for too much of the year, you had to attend online classes and work independently at home. It would have been very understandable if you had all just retreated into your own worlds, did your study, and kept to yourselves. I know that some of you did not find it easy to keep focused and motivated and some of you really struggled. In many ways it was harder than the first time, because the lockdowns seemed poorly defined, and we were all getting weary.

But as a group you did not retreat – I was really impressed by the way you kept our community alive through online communication, and made the most of every opportunity you had to be together. I know that your messages of hope and encouragement made a big difference to students right across our school.

I know that in some ways the year was a disappointing one for you – no School Formal, no Valedictory, no Schoolies (not officially in any case). But I think that as a year level you showed more leadership and resilience than many, and your example of just getting on with it in difficult times was extraordinary and I salute you for it. You refused to give in, you remained focused and on task, and your results at the end of the year were extraordinary.

I understand the feelings of disappointment but, at the same time, what extraordinary times for you to have lived through. You were put in a position in which you had no choice but to change the way you learnt, where you learnt, and even when you learnt. You had to reduce your social contact, you had to put many plans on hold. But these years will no doubt provide the source of many stories for your grandchildren as you reflect on the great pandemic of the 2020s. More importantly, you had to face disappointment, be resilient and resourceful. You had to be creative and you had to persevere. There is much to be grateful for, there is much to be proud of, and there is much to learn.

This is an edited version of the speech given to the Leavers of 2021 by Headmaster Dr Paul Hicks at the Leavers’ Dinner at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Due to Covid-19 restrictions in 2021, the Dinner was held in 2022.

We meet here tonight for the final time as the Class of 2021, and many of you have just begun new learning journeys and a new stage of your life. Many of you have begun university studies, and your experience of university, and indeed work, is going to be very different from mine. You will no doubt study more online, listen to lectures online, and submit work online. I am glad to hear that you will have the opportunity to do some things on campus too, because the social aspect of university is as important as the academic side. But you are prepared for it all – the lessons you learnt last year will have placed you in good stead for the challenges that lie ahead. And always remember that the community you formed while you were at school will be another source of strength and support.

You have been an amazing group, and even though tonight we are saying a belated farewell, I know I speak on behalf of our teachers, when I tell you we are proud of you and we wish you the very best for your futures.

To our parents, I would like to say that you should be very proud of these students. Your sons have developed into fine young men and I believe their future lies bright before them. Thank you, parents, for your support of our school and of your sons. I think together we have done a good job.

I would also like to thank the teachers – not just last year, but in all the years of their education. The teachers have played a major role in shaping the thinking and values of our students, and I think we are very lucky at Camberwell Grammar to have teachers who are so professional, dedicated, and enthusiastic. I extend a heartfelt thanks to them.

give thanks for all we have been given and good luck for the future.

Let’s

Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

Toast to the School 2021

This is an edited speech delivered at the Year 12 Leavers’ Dinner for the Class of 2021 by Luke Doblin, School Captain (2021).

It’s such an honour to address you all on this night of celebration, reflection, and inspiration. It has been 114 days since the last VCE exam of 2021 – almost a third of a year. Some of you probably couldn’t have been happier to be out the door last November – turfing uniform straight out of your wardrobe, forgetting about school, and cruising off to holiday. Others maybe still have a little collection of textbooks in the corner, like every Camberwell Grammar Instagram post, and keep up to date with the House Music results. In any case, tonight I wanted to rewind a little, to reflect on our journey together at Camberwell Grammar, and to acknowledge some of the amazing people in this room who made it happen.

On this day in 2016, six years ago, most of us would have been spending our last night at Lord Somers Camp, wide-eyed Year 7s, having experienced just a tiny amount of what was in store for us at Camberwell Grammar. Some things I remember vividly, like when Riley Swinburne’s tooth finished second best against my knee during a game of foxholes. Sorry again Riley. Other things, I wish I could forget, like what the food tasted like, or what the bathrooms smelt like. But all those fragments of memory come together, along with six years of camps, concerts, classrooms, and competitions to form the mosaic of my experience at Camberwell Grammar. It’s an experience that has shaped much of my life so far and will no doubt shape my life well into the future.

One important thing that I’ve discovered along the way is that Camberwell Grammar isn’t 55 Mont Albert Road; it isn’t the PAC, the Sports Centre, or the classrooms – it’s all of us here. The teachers, the parents, the students, and the staff. Our community. A community I feel privileged to belong to and one that we will all belong to for the rest of our lives.

Now, as we go out into the big bad world, I hope we can all find new places to belong at university, at work, or wherever you find yourselves this year, and I hope that you take with you the lessons learned at Camberwell Grammar School. Not calculus,

or the Krebs cycle, or quotes from Runaway, but how to be a man of integrity, optimism, courage, and respect. How to be resilient through difficult circumstances, and how to work with others despite your differences. We see time and time again that our institutions, our workplaces, and our communities need voices for good, and we are some of the best equipped to be those voices. We have been privileged and blessed with an outstanding education, but it’s up to us how we use it. Not everyone here is going to be a leader or a CEO, but as Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘In a gentle way, you can shake the world.’

Now, I would like to acknowledge and thank those people who made it all possible.

First, a thank you to our teachers. Somehow, while we’ve stayed exactly the same for the last six years, they’ve changed from overlords and enforcers to allies and supporters. Thank you for guiding us, inspiring us, and persevering with us, especially over the last two years. Thank you for all of the work done outof-hours marking our assignments and managing our sports teams. You’ve been truly influential on the way we think and act, and taught us so many valuable lessons in and outside of the classroom. An honourable mention must go to Mr French, who has stuck with us and supported us from our days in Middle School and couldn’t even bear the thought of teaching at Camberwell Grammar without us.

Next, to the parents, thank you so much. For the sacrifices you’ve made along the way to support us unconditionally; for the hours of car rides to sports training and music rehearsals; for the dedication to parents’ associations and ‘Friends Of’ groups; for your prodding in times of procrastination and your soothing in times of stress, there is no way we could have made it this far without you. Give your parents a hug or a kiss or something and show them your appreciation.

Finally, to my peers, the Class of ‘21. To those of you I’ve shared a classroom, a stage, a court, or a field with. Thank you. I could not have chosen a better group of people to be in a cohort with. Throughout the years as our concerns shifted from signing diaries and shining shoes to sitting SACs and study scores, I am

so thankful that we were all in the same boat together, that we stuck together through thick and thin, and came out the other side together as Alumni of the School. I will cherish the memories I made with you all and hope that as we go our separate ways, our paths may cross yet again somewhere along the road. Whatever happens, I’m proud to say that we can look on one another as a comrade and a brother, and we’ll never forget the happy days at school.

This is the edited speech given to Leavers of 2022 by Headmaster, Dr Paul Hicks, at the Leavers’ Service at St Mark’s in Camberwell.

There is nothing like a good meal. My wife is a very good cook, and I am living evidence of that fact. Obviously, we all need to eat in order to live – we need the nourishment of food to fuel our bodies and give us the energy we need each day to function. There may be some people who view food only in this way – as necessary nourishment and that is all. But in our family at least we love good food, prepared lovingly, and we take great pleasure in a good home-cooked roast or a special restaurant meal.

We particularly like gathering as a family for a special family meal of celebration – for a birthday or anniversary – and I suspect we like it so much not just for the delicious food, but for the opportunity to gather together around a table and to joke and share stories and to be together around a meal. We are nourished not just by the food we are sharing, but by each other’s company as well. The ritual of the meal is as nourishing as the food itself.

Similarly, in our wider culture, many of our celebrations are built around food. Our dinner later this evening is a great example –we gather to celebrate the conclusion of your time at school, and we will do it with food and drink. The Bible is filled with stories which centre around food. There is the famous story of Jesus feeding the multitude with five loaves and two fishes. This is at the highlight of Jesus’ earthly career – the closest we would have today is a rock star or a really huge social media influencer. Matthew suggests that there were around 4,000 people there – a massive crowd at the time.

The details of this miracle are well-known. We are told that Jesus is concerned for the people in the crowd, and he asks his disciples to rustle up whatever food they have. They come back to him with the famous five loaves and two fish. He blessed their offering and told them to start handing the food around – take some and pass it on. And that is what they did, and instead of running out it seemed to multiply – and once it had been right around the whole crowd they gathered the leftovers – seven big baskets worth.

A pretty impressive trick; and Matthew tells us about it to demonstrate the divine nature of Jesus’ being. But what if this is

Valedictory Service 2022

a miracle of a completely different sort? What if this was in fact a pretty ordinary miracle? What if most people actually had some food on them, and what if the nature of this miracle is not that it involved magic, but that the people on the ground were inspired by Jesus’ generosity and care and that as the food came around, they contributed at least some of what they had to the common good. As the baskets got passed around, those who had nothing took their share, and those who had something contributed to the pile. It must have taken hours, but once they got to the end they discovered that they had more than they started with, and everyone was better off.

In some ways, such an interpretation of this miracle might make it seem more prosaic and less impressive – but I actually think it is more impressive. Rather than producing food out of nothing, like an amazing magic trick, Jesus inspires people to behave differently and to share what they had for the benefit of all. He provides more than simply physical nourishment – he provides spiritual nourishment which transforms people – and that is the miracle.

If we read the miracle in that way, it becomes accessible for all of us. We cannot produce something from nothing, but we can share what we have with those in our community who are less fortunate than us.

We know that we are privileged – as students, you are blessed that your parents were able to send you to a great school (even if I do say so myself), and that they believed that education was so important that they made sacrifices to send you to Camberwell Grammar. Whether you loved your time at school or not – and I hope you loved it – we know that just attending a school like ours dramatically increases your options in life. That privilege for you was not earned – it came about by an accident of birth. I know that you are aware of that, and I know that you do not take that privilege for granted.

We know too that there are many in our society who would love to have the chances you have. We all heard yesterday about the Karen people in Myanmar. We know that there is inequality in our education system, that some schools are better resourced than others, and some schools do a better job than others. There are many people who would love to receive a Camberwell Grammar education, but who simply cannot afford it. And you are the lucky ones, because you happened to be born into the family you were born into.

I am not suggesting that you should feel guilty about that. It is not your fault that you were born. Or that you were born into the families you were. It is not your fault that our economic resources are not equally distributed. I would be the last person to underestimate the very real sacrifices made by your parents or the very hard work they have done to give you the best start they can in life. That is a responsibility I carry every day.

But I can’t help thinking about the loaves and the fishes, and wondering what might happen if those of us with a bit more food in our pantry were willing to throw some of what we have into the baskets as they get passed around. I have many hopes for you – I want you to be happy, I want you to be great partners, I want you to find fulfilling roles in life, and as you have heard me tell you many many times, I want you to be good men, and by my definition of that term, being a good man, in your circumstances, includes being conscious of your privilege and trying to do something to help others who have not been as lucky as you.

But maybe there are things we can do to help those in our world who need help. I know you can do that and during your time here you have already done so with your fundraising activities and Interact clubs and causes that you take on. But I hope that you, conscious of your privilege, will always reach out to those who are less fortunate in our society and help to give them a leg up and will do what you can to use your privilege for good. Giving away everything you have is probably a bit extreme, but perhaps – when you have the opportunity to do so – you will think about helping others who are not as fortunate as you by giving them a hand.

And as a school which is urging you to think that way, we need to do something about that too. For some time now I and other leaders in the School have been speaking with our School Council about a project which would see us offer a number of means-tested scholarships to students who would not otherwise be able to attend the School. I cannot change the economic or political foundations upon which our society is based – except through education. We believe that education has the power to transform lives, and perhaps our version of sharing some bread and fish is being able to offer a Camberwell Grammar education

to people who could simply not afford to come here without a hand up. We think that we can make a very real difference to people in that way, and we also think that our students and our community will be enriched if we can do that. We can tackle social and economic inequality through education, and all of us will be richer as a result.

And perhaps someday we will come to you and ask you to join us in that vision. Not today, but maybe someday. And I hope that if you do have the opportunity to help those in our community who need it, then you will remember the lessons you learnt at school and that you will grab that opportunity and make it count. I know that burden of making the world a better place is a heavy one, and I know that you can’t do it by yourself, but if you can contribute to the greater social good, then I think your education will have been successful and we will have succeeded in our goals.

As you approach your final examinations and the end of your school careers, remember the words of Jeremiah. The Lord has plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope, and a future in which you will be safe. Know that Camberwell Grammar will always be a safe place for you. We have watched you grow and mature over many years, and you have done many amazing things, and battled big battles. Now it is time for you to leave. Of all the things you learnt – and you have learnt many things academic, musical, dramatic, artistic, sporting, and in leadership – of all those things, it is my hope that the lessons you take with you include the importance and value of kindness, the necessity for you to be gentle, loving men, partners, and parents, and that you always remember the responsibility you have to contribute in positive ways to the world. Know that there will always be a place here for you at Camberwell Grammar School. You commence the next part of your life journey with great advantages – make the most of them and make us all proud.

Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

This is an edited speech delivered at the Year 12 Leavers’ Dinner for the Class of 2022 by Ben Bosmans, School Captain (2022).

Well good evening everyone. I’m glad that more people could make it to this than last week’s Paul Dillon talk.

Mr Jones’ the Shinkansen has finally made it. This is the last stop. And we made it with (almost) everyone intact. At the start of the year, Mr Jones used the metaphor of a Shinkansen to represent Year 12 because it moves so quickly. If Year 12 is a Shinkansen, then long before we even got on board we were travelling on a horse and buggy at the formation of this cohort in Year 7.

Being thrown into Year 7 with a bunch of students that you don’t know was a little daunting for us, but we soon found our groove. It only took us a week to get out of the default ‘so what sport are you doing’ conversation starter. Soon enough, we were being reminded to pull our socks up (really don’t miss that) and people had discovered the joys of back-locking people’s lockers. We each were tasked with writing our Schoology bios, and there are even a lucky few who escaped anyone getting a copy of those before Schoology was laid peacefully to rest.

Year 8 saw us up the ante because Year 8 meant Projec10 and the Year 8 social with girls. It was the last year with the nophones policy, so I guess that says something about our cohort. Mr Stanley had his first year and has since gone on to head the Middle School fantastically.

Year 9 was the first year in the white shirt, and Senior School did not hold back. We were thrown into more homework and more responsibility but also more freedom and opportunity. This year also saw us become veterans of Dr Hicks’ famed war on banter.

Then came Year 10. A month or so into the year, I remember being at Scott Zheng’s birthday party, and jokingly saying to one of the people there that ‘we better enjoy this before corona hits.’ This was at the stage when Corona was still a beer, and Zoom was still a verb, so I received a weird look in return; but, before we knew it, we were seated in Year 10 History class being told in no uncertain terms by Mr Hone that the world was going to end. And while the world didn’t quite end, it definitely got turned upside down. Showing up to school in tracky-daks and waking up five minutes before class was not only acceptable, it was normal.

Toast to the School 2022

Year 11 saw the grand opening of Dorset, that house near the Contemplation Garden which 99% of the students have still never been inside. I honestly barely remember anything from Year 11 because of the scattered lockdowns and restrictions, so on to Year 12.

So, we finally reached the end of Year 11 and Mr Jones called ‘All Aboard’. We were a year level more determined than ever to live out our Year 12, and we did not fail to deliver. This year, for us, was a year marked by the things that only Year 12s get to do. We were able to have our formal, at which we had the first ever arrival by boat. We carried Chess at Hamer Hall, fought tooth and nail in House events, and I would also be remiss to not mention some of the notable achievements of this cohort. We are the only Year 12 cohort in Dr Hicks’ memory that hasn’t been kicked out of the common room. For perspective, the last two years’ cohorts weren’t even able to use the common room for most of the year and still got kicked out. We had a record low of three casualties –two toasty machines and one microwave – and have increased our gut immunity by at least 50% through the common room’s use.

We also have had immense sporting success. The Camberwell Grammar First Football team won a whole three games this season, smashing expectations and proving to the School that all is not lost for Camberwell Grammar footy. In Athletics, we won the 100th Premiership. We have debating champions and music phenoms. The talent on display here in every facet of school life is astonishing, and I have no doubt that there will be many from this cohort that will go on to be inducted into the Gallery of Achievement.

While it is good to recognise these achievements, we would not be able to attain them without all the people who have made our journey so enjoyable and such a smooth ride.

To our teachers, thank you. You are the heart and soul of Camberwell Grammar and we are so appreciative of the tenacity, patience, and kindness you display on a daily basis. To Mr Jones, for your role as Year 12 Coordinator this year – ensuring that people are in the right place at the right time and that everyone’s paperwork is all sorted out, while maintaining a full-time advertising contract with the Camberwell Grammar School Rotary Interact Club, is no small feat. For that, we are extremely appreciative.

To Mrs Reiger, for your tireless work in guiding us towards our future. You have helped us develop a vision for where we want to find ourselves in life and have even hunted us down when we didn’t want to think about it.

To Mrs Carbone, Mrs Elliott, Ms Sangster, and Ms Luca, thank you for your incredible administrative efforts, allowing us to abstract away the organisational complexities of our school life to focus on our studies and extra-curriculars.

To Dr Hicks, Mr Jeacocke, Mr Stanley, and Mr Rayner, thank you for your guidance throughout our time throughout Middle and Senior School. There is so much work that gets done behind your desks that we students never see, and you have had no small part in shaping the Camberwell Grammar culture that we all love so much. To Mr Jeacocke especially, it was your first year, and you have integrated yourself into Camberwell Grammar seamlessly.

Finally, to the unsung heroes of our lives at high school, thank you to our parents. The commitments that we make here are not just student commitments. They’re parental ones too. I think of all the times my parents have driven me to sport matches, competitions, and music events; the list goes on. I think of their patience in listening to me play the same piece of music over and over in preparation for my music exams while they try to work. I think of all the times they have shown up to watch me perform and play sport. And then I think of the fact that they are doing it three times over with my brothers. I know I am not alone in this experience. We have the privilege of having parents that can and have invested in our education. It would be a shame to waste that.

It is time for us to set our sights on the future. This is where we step off the Shinkansen and are let out into the station. In a way, it is just like pulling into Flinder’s Street station in our civics week in Year 7. We can go anywhere from here, and there are endless opportunities to explore. The world is ours for the taking, and if the Camberwell Grammar experience has taught us anything, it’s that we should dare to change the world: speak with conviction, aim high, and shoulder responsibility. As we heard yesterday, very few people are given the opportunity we have, and as the 134th class to graduate from this school, I couldn’t be prouder of who I am graduating with.

If there is anything that Camberwell Grammar has taught me, it’s that while ambition, hard work, and success are important, a community to fall back on is just as vital. Because we fall down just as often as we rise up, and you fall down much harder without a group of people to catch you. On the annual Year 9 camp in cadets, we were sleeping in a hutchie (a glorified tarp), and you’re supposed to dig trenches around your hutchie in case it rains so that the water doesn’t flood into your sleeping area. Well, we didn’t do that. So, at 2.00am in the morning, while it was three degrees outside, we found ourselves digging trenches with freezing pickaxes into rock-hard ground while our clothes and sleeping bags got soaked. Alone, that experience would have been objectively terrible. But, as we fumbled around in the darkness, we found ourselves laughing at our misfortune, bound together by the shared experience of that night. That I think epitomises my last five years. The beauty of it is that it only happens once.

One thing I have found myself doing throughout this year is making a point of remembering certain moments because life at Camberwell Grammar moves so fast. Although I may not miss the pungent smell of those trees or trying to do a SAC with cadets yelling beneath us, there is a lot I will miss. I’ll miss singing our hearts out in Art class to Mr Wills’ eclectic music taste, belting out Chess, and House Music Competitions. I’ll miss Ms Wood’s decorated English classroom, highly productive chemistry practicals with Mr Cathcart, and deep chats with Mr Duong in methods.

Although it is good to remember the sweet moments of the past, it’s important to appreciate the present and not get bogged down in our memories. It’s important to appreciate the company we have in each other tonight. At Assemblies throughout the year, I would sometimes give a quote that resonated with me. I thought that master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda could articulate this better than me when he said: ‘Quit, don’t quit. Noodles…don’t noodles. You are too concerned with what was and what will be. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it’s called the present.’

So, for the final time as a group, let’s appreciate the present, could you all please be upstanding and join me in raising a toast to the School. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. For the experiences, the friendships, the ups the downs, and the loopthe-loops. Spectemur Agendo

Toast to the Leavers 2022

This is an edited speech given to the Leavers of 2022 by Mr Troy Stanley, Head of Middle School, at the Leavers’ Dinner at Marvel Stadium.

Most of you were registered here at birth, or at least when you were very young, and many of your teachers here tonight have been by your side for a significant part of your journey… So this night is a huge milestone – for everyone in the room, and I am most honoured and humbled to have been asked to make this speech tonight.

To the parents who have invested financially and emotionally, tonight offers you a great celebration – no more school fees. And even better, no more DEEDS posts. But on the other hand, you will miss the regular connection with the School, the stories, the sport, the concerts, and especially each other’s company on a regular basis. And I know those who have invested time and a lot of love into one or more ‘Friends of Groups’ will feel the pinch more than most. I hope tonight marks the beginning of the next chapter of your journey with Camberwell Grammar.

Dux of the School in 1889 and famous essayist, Sir Walter Murdoch, stated ‘all my memories of school were happy ones’, and whilst your exams are imminent, it would be naive to think that all of your memories will be happy right now, but I hope the happiest memories stick – and that tonight offers you a chance to reflect on some of your own happy memories.

Most of you know that I moved from Sydney with my wife and three children to take on the Middle School responsibility in 2018 when you guys were in Year 8. Like most things in life, retrospectively, a lot of our personal and professional experiences – both good and bad, happy and sad – prepare you for the next step in your career. Up to that point, I thought I was ready for the next step, but nothing could have prepared me for the top floor of the Angliss Building in 2018.

The first day of school started well… I saw all the Year 6 boys in their first year of Middle School on the ground floor, moved up to level 2 where I was greeted by the Year 7s nervously starting their first day as well. Then up to Year 8 on the top floor. Things instantly felt a little different. Before I’d even opened the door, Leeshan

Navaneetharaja came over to test out the new guy – ‘Hey Sir,’ he shouted, showing me his name in his diary, ‘can you pronounce my name?’ Of course, I couldn’t. And all the students laughed.

Leeshan was like the ‘flash-bang grenade’ designed to shock me and then I was thrown into a classroom with the 8T berserkers. To name a few, Colin Jiang, Conrad Thornton, Simon Lewison, Fletcher Von Arx, and Gus Bellchambers.

To be honest, they were all great kids and I think that after a few hiccups, we got on pretty well, although I know you despised my attempts to reign in the mullets and mobile phones. And, judging by your hairdos tonight, we know who won that battle!

One of my greatest joys about working in the Middle School is meeting the students and families in the early years, and working with them as they test their own limits, and ours! Watching them grow and reflect on how far they have come. This cohort truly is a very tight-knit group of mates: loyal, respectful, and hard-working – what a fine upstanding group of young men you have turned out to be.

I was going to offer you three points of advice tonight, but having known you for five years, and having my own kids, I now realise that children are born knowing everything, and from your firstborn onwards, we gradually lose knowledge, until the moment our kids turn 15, and we lose it all!

SENIOR

The purpose of a great education is to help them discover and develop their own passions and strengths. So, the first piece of advice was going to be: ‘Want less and give more’. We’ve been telling you to strive for more, more, more… but there has to be a balance. When we strive, we need to strive for a greater good, rather than purely personal gain. To quote author and entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk ‘there is a fine line between selfish and selfless’. But I know you knew that, and a reason you chose Camberwell Grammar.

The second piece of advice was going to be: ‘Do what you love, love what you do.’ Watching you guys come to school, go to class and learn, laugh at lunchtime, practice, train, and play is a clear sign that you already knew that. With such a broad scope of offerings across the School, it was surely another reason you chose us, although this cohort is very different from any others in recent history. And, from my perspective, as a cohort, you have provided the School with exactly what we needed in 2017. Bringing a greater emphasis on teamwork, collective, self-belief, and competitive spirit. And I will tell you how…

We have amazing actors, academics, musicians, and sportsmen in this cohort. And in 2015-16, when you and your parents were deciding which school you were going to commit to, there was a huge pile of dirt in the middle of the School, which would transform a small 23m pool and gym space into the amazing Sports Centre. And when many of you commenced your journey in 2017, the Sports Centre was opened. An amazing facility and a clear indication that sport was going to be prioritised amongst its other areas of excellence, and I am certain that for many of you, it was a reason why you chose Camberwell Grammar over other schools on your list.

Now in Year 12, and competing at the highest level in the classroom, on stage, and at Saturday Sport, the Leavers of 2022 have been the pioneers; and now have a stream of students in lower years who have joined the School for similar reasons. They have watched and followed your lead, and it is no surprise that we have all witnessed a meteoric rise across all of our sports, matching the other pillars of the School which have been flourishing for so long and continue to do so.

For a long time, the School has been competitive in academia, music, and theatre. It’s not about winning or topping the exams, to quote Dr Paul Hicks, ‘we are all gifted in many ways, and we know that the effort we put in is far more important than the achievement.’ The endeavour is to be the best version of yourself.

Which leads me to the third and final piece of advice (which you already know), which is to be the best version of yourself and maximise on your own personal strengths.

According to others who have seen many more than me, this year’s Hamer Hall Concert was one of, if not the best, in history. And who could forget The Threepenny Opera in the worldfamous Spiegeltent.

This year we witnessed a magical Elva Allen Concert and who would have dreamt of Camberwell Grammar and Scotch performing on the same stage, which occurred during the Inaugural Richard Gill Memorial Concert, along with Melbourne Girls Grammar, but what an occasion that was.

To rise to the standard we persistently see gracing the stage or taking out the AGSV Championships, or being your very best in the classroom, requires an enormous amount of competitive spirit and a burning desire to better yourself every day. You can only do that by being true to yourself.

I believe that this is the legacy you leave. Collectively, you have brought and bred teamwork, healthy competition, and self-belief. On the playing fields, in the classroom, and in performance halls, you have used your resources, your teammates, your cast, and your classmates proving that ‘no one is as smart as all of us.’

Throughout one of the most challenging eras of education, you have adopted a glass-half-full approach and accepted the challenges strewn along your High School journey, and through this lens and your experiences on your journey, you are more ready than previous generations of school leavers to tackle the many challenges that lie ahead.

Thank you for your good-natured banter, your mateship, and your humble pursuit of excellence. And thank you in advance for going out into the world armed with your very own, unique set of skills to make this world a better place.

In light of Sir Walter Murdoch, whether all of your memories of school were happy or not, may you continue to be guided by our School Motto to ensure that you hold your integrity close to your chest and aspire to be a good person above everything else.

Cadets

The Camberwell Grammar School Army Cadet Unit (CGSACU) is proud to announce that the Unit has once again grown over the year despite being in an environment where many units have struggled to keep members. The Unit was also fortunate to enjoy an uninterrupted training program this year after the past two years of lockdowns and cancelations.

Cadets enjoyed our full range of unique and insightful training activities, for example the series of specialist training programs offered to Senior Cadets, consisting of the Reconnaissance Course, Commandos Course, and Image Intelligence (IMINT). The Reconnaissance Course covered the art of observation, teaching how to gather intelligence whilst remaining concealed using the ghillie suits the cadets created over the year. The Commandos Course involved high-intensity training over the year, teaching how to abseil and construct an improvised river crossing. While IMINT focused on gathering intelligence in a field environment utilising new technology; this was done by cadets learning how to fly Maverick Mini Drones and working as a team to provide the Unit with aerial intelligence.

SGT

, Year 11

The consensus amongst the Unit was that the highlight of the year was definitely the Annual Camp that took place during the Term 3 break. It was the first Annual Camp since 2019 and, over the course of six days, cadets undertook a variety of activities and learnt many key skills. Some of these activities included navigation across varying terrains and hunting for glowsticks at night. In addition to this, the camp culminated with the ‘48 hour’ capture the flag activity that saw cadets compete against one another for the title of platoon of the year.

, Year 11

Our Recruit Platoons learnt to develop some key cadet skills, such as navigation using a silva compass, radio telecommunication, and camouflage and concealment techniques. These lessons were delivered in a fun and active manner with an emphasis on cadet involvement. The quality and success of this year’s training program is a testament to the hard work of our Junior and Senior leaders over the year and the enthusiastic participation by many in the Unit.

, Year 12

All-in-all this has been a wonderful year for the Camberwell Cadet Unit, and we relished the ability to participate in activities again, learn new skills, enjoy the annual camp and be part of a successful Cadet Unit.

Debating

This year, the DAV Schools Competition, run by the Debaters Association of Victoria, returned in person, with various alumni supporting as coaches and adjudicators. A massive 116 students from the Senior School signed up this year, with Camberwell Grammar fielding 17 teams across four-year levels.

The students worked together to tackle complex topics over the course of five rounds, thriving in one of the world’s largest inter-school English-speaking debating competitions. Congratulations to the B Grade team of Patrick Homes, Ravin Desai, Alexander Harris, Isaac Lin, Jacob Clark, and Ben Wishart and the D Grade team of Bach Tran, Saveen Seneviratne, Owen Wu, Ethan Tran, Goldman Xu, Derrick Kwon, Will Li, and Justin Kwan who impressively won five consecutive debates in the region, making playoffs this year. Special mention goes to Patrick Homes for also being awarded a ‘Swannie’, recognised as the strongest speaker in the region’s B Grade. As of writing, the D Grade team remains undefeated, and we wish them the best of luck as they enter the quarter-finals in Term 4. Congratulations to everyone who debated this year; Camberwell Grammar is in good hands, given the vast range of talent and ability across this cohort.

Camberwell Grammar also found successes elsewhere. In April, the School held its annual internal simulation of the UN Security Council, the Gladwyn Cup. Delegates were tasked with representing an allocated country while tackling global issues regarding climate refugees, Ukraine, and North Korea. Following hours of intense diplomacy and debate, the team of Kerry Sun (Captain of Debating) and Ishaan Nandurkar representing France emerged victorious. Second place went to Alan Tian and Cooper Carbone as Mexico, and third to Charles Lewis and Finnian Mahaffy as China.

The strength of the teams was also demonstrated by their strong showing in Evatt, the inter-school version of the competition from UNYA, convened this year by past student Tom Sun (2021). Ten Camberwell Grammar teams participated in the preliminary rounds, seven of these teams progressed to the second round of semi-finals and three of those teams performed well enough to

be invited to the grand final at the Victorian Parliament, ranking in the top 15 teams in the state. Congratulations to Kerry Sun and Ishaan Nandurkar, Alan Tian and Cooper Carbone, Alex Zhang and Lachlan Courmadias for this excellent achievement.

In late May, two teams participated in the Monash Asian Studies competition, with the team of Kerry Sun, Ishaan Nandurkar, Charles Lewis, and Akalanka Gunawardana winning three consecutive debates on contemporary issues in Asia, with Ishaan winning best speaker for the competition. Over the Term 2 holidays, the team of Cooper Carbone, Ray He, Alan Tian, and Kevin Xu won three law-oriented debates to advance to the grand final, coming runner-up in the Deakin Law Debate competition in a tight 2-1 split. Students also argued legal cases to law students acting as judges in the Scotch Friendly Moot, with Tommy Auwardt and Ravin Desai winning best speaker in their respective moots. In public speaking, Year 10 student William Lardner won the Boroondara Speaking Contest and, in Term 3, Debating Captain Kerry Sun partnered with his Camberwell Girls Grammar counterpart to create a new public speaking competition open to Years 9-12 for both schools. Well done to Ravin Desai (1st), Cooper Carbone (3rd), and Lachlan Courmadias (5th) for doing particularly well.

A huge thank you to our coordinators, Dr Melanie Mandusic and Mr Paul Double for making this all possible. This year, 2022, has been a triumph for debating and public speaking. I look forward to what Camberwell Grammar can do in the coming years, and I wish my very capable successor, Alan Tian, the best of luck in leading such endeavours.

Beyond the Classroom

IDAHOBIT and Respect Week

On 17 May, our Senior School students supported International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), which celebrates LGBTQIA+ people worldwide and raises awareness for the work still needed to combat discrimination.

Students held a delicious bake sale at lunchtime, where a variety of sweet treats, badges, pens, and more were on sale to support the LGBTQIA+ community.

During Respect Week in May, students and staff were involved in self-improvement and self-awareness training and activities around the theme of Respect. The program focused on helping students become more successful in life by establishing positive relationships, influencing positive growth in and out of the School, developing a positive mindset, and, ultimately, helping us all live by the School’s values and apply them to daily living.

Senior School students also heard from alum Rob Vienet (2012), an Associate at Allens Law firm, who spoke on the topic of respect at Assembly.

Human Rights Conference

In Term 2, Senior Camberwell Grammar students attended and co-led an exceptional Human Rights Conference with Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar and other participating schools, including Lauriston Girls’ School, Star of the Sea, and Kingswood College.

The conference posed the question, ‘who will write what history of us?’ The Human Rights Conference was the result of a two-year collaboration and was held in partnership with Liberty Victoria, Australia’s longest-standing human rights organisation.

The Push-Up Challenge

In Term 2, the Camberwell Grammar community came together to help raise funds for the Push-Up Challenge. The Push-Up Challenge raises funds for mental health organisations, such as Lifeline.

Mental health is one of the biggest issues facing Australians right now and every 1 in 5 Australians—about 4 million people — suffers from a mental illness. Luckily Lifeline is there to help, and we decided to help them!

During the Challenge, many teams of students, staff, and community members came together to do push-ups. Camberwell Grammar exceeded our initial fundraising goal of $5,000 to ultimately raise $14,594.88. In fact, Camberwell Grammar were the top fundraising school in Victoria, and fifth in Australia.

Due to the School’s success, Push-Up Challenge Founder and CEO, Mr Nick Hudson, visited the School and spoke inspiringly about his reasons for starting the Challenge.

We congratulate student Henry Shirrefs and his team of students who spearheaded the campaign along with Mr Earnshaw. It was great to see the School community come together to make this into something so special!

House Charity Competitions

Term 3 saw lots of Houses take on fun, friendly, and competitive activities to support their chosen charities for the year.

Highlights included the Robinson House Street Soccer Tournament, which saw 16 teams competing. In collaboration with the Youth in Philanthropy Group, Robinson House raised over $4,560 for the Kids Undercover Charity! Well done to all involved and the winning team.

Schofield held their popular ‘The Great Debate’ – a comedic debate that sees students take on their teachers. The debate was in support of HoMie, a non for profit street clothing brand founded by Trinity alum Nick Pearce where 100% of the profits go to youth experiencing homelessness. Schofield raised around $1,500 from the sale of HoMie clothes, drinks, and entry fees.

Social Innovators: Box of Love Project

During Term 1, select students from Year 9 participated in a twoday Social Innovators workshop facilitated by the team at Crazy Ideas College (CIC). They undertook a series of activities around entrepreneurship, working in teams to develop and pitch ideas for an enterprise that addressed an environmental or social need.

Students Edward Wang, Alan Wang, Sean Luo, and Dennis Shaliga developed a unique idea, the ‘Box of Love Project’, which aimed at improving the overall wellbeing of the community and rebuilding the links the community had lost over the last two years.

Toward the end of Term 3, they assisted the Year 2 class with writing some letters for strangers to read, and arranged for the letters to be handed out to people purchasing coffee from a local cafe.

It is with a great deal of pride that I write to congratulate our Class of 2022 for their outstanding VCE results this year. All 178 of our students who completed the year satisfactorily met the requirements of the VCE, and we are very proud of them all.

Their results are impressive by any standards – and indeed they are among our best results in the last decade. And given that this group experienced very disjointed years when they were in Years 10 and 11, they have done extraordinarily well. Sixteen of our students (9%) achieved an ATAR of 99 or better, placing them in the top one per cent of the State. Thirty-five per cent (62 students) achieved a rank of 95 or better, while 51% of our students achieved a score of 90 or better, placing them in the top ten per cent of the State. Our median ATAR score was 90.9 and our average ATAR score was 87.6 – the highest average in over 10 years: the depth of the results is particularly pleasing.

There were five perfect study scores across a range of subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematical Methods, Physical Education, and Physics. Twenty per cent of all study scores were 40 or higher, which is an excellent result given that we tend to do the more ‘difficult’ (and higher scaling) VCE subjects. This year the Duces of our School are Gregory Kerdemelidis, Brendan Tse, and Hong (Marco) Xu all of whom scored 99.85. Our Proxime Accesserunt was Zac (Daniel) Meagher, who scored 99.7. All four students were actively involved in the full life of the School and worked very hard at their studies.

Gregory Kerdemelidis was the School Vice Captain, a role in which he demonstrated outstanding leadership throughout 2022. Gregory’s outstanding overall achievements were acknowledged with multiple academic and sporting awards, including a Triple Colour Pocket for Swimming, Waterpolo, and Volleyball. Gregory scored 50 for Physics, 48 for Chemistry, 42 for English Language, 42 for Specialist Mathematics, 37 for Latin, 48 for Mathematical Methods in Year 11, 2021.

Brendan Tse also demonstrated the value of a broad VCE experience. Beyond his outstanding academic results, he

participated in Inter-School Debating, was a member of the School’s Firsts Table Tennis team, and excelled in the Music Academy where he was an integral part of several major ensembles. Brendan was also a Schofield House Prefect and earned House Colours, generous with his time in assisting younger members of his House. He scored 48 for English Language, 41 for Chemistry, 38 for Specialist Mathematics, 36 for Latin, 42 for Chinese Second Language in Year 11, 2021. Brendan also undertook Mathematics through the University of Melbourne’s Extension Program, scoring second-class honours.

Hong (Marco) Xu was a conscientious and highly dedicated student who was a Scholar of the School and earned prizes for Mathematics, Chinese First Language, and English as an Additional Language. Beyond the classroom, Marco contributed to Macneil House activities with enthusiasm and also represented the School in Open Seconds Table Tennis. Marco scored 48 for Specialist Mathematics, 47 for Mathematical Methods, 47 for English as an Additional Language, 30 for Economics, 44 for Chinese First Language in Year 11, 2021. An exceptional mathematician, Marco also received first-class honours in Mathematics through the University of Melbourne’s Extension Program.

Zac (Daniel) Meagher was a humble, dedicated and exceptional student. A talented linguist, he received numerous awards in English and French throughout his time at school. He was a Bridgland House Prefect and contributed enthusiastically to a wide range of House activities, demonstrating excellent leadership and encouragement to younger peers. Zac scored 48 for English, 44 for French, 40 for Chemistry, 36 for Mathematical Methods, 35 for Latin. He also scored 43 in Accounting in Year 11, 2021.

A further twelve students earned scores of 99 or better. These students also studied a wide range of subjects and actively involved themselves in the life of the School: Lidong Chen, Yuhao (Billy) Ge, Eugene Goh, Akalanka Gunawardana, Jerry Ji, Anh (Jonathan) Le, Ryan Le, Charles Lewis, Thomas Power, Isa Rose, Campbell Rowland and Leo Simo-Orgonas.

SENIOR SCHOOL

As always, we need to remember that the ATAR is a ranking device, and by definition, not everyone can be at the top. What is particularly pleasing about this year’s excellent results, is that they are not restricted to a few at the very top. Eighty-five per cent of our students achieved scores over 70. Students across the entire cohort have performed higher than expectations, and I am just as proud of the students who do not feature in media stories or league table, but whose score represents their very best efforts. No score on its own can reveal the story behind a student’s year, and the mark without the story is meaningless. Some of our students faced significant issues throughout the year and nevertheless did the very best they could. We should celebrate their achievements as much as we celebrate those with the top scores. All students tried their best, given their ability, and the realities of their lives. ATAR scores do not define a life or a person’s value. The lessons learned at school, the resilience developed during the course of this year, and the values and skills learned here will last forever. The vast majority of our students will gain entry into the course of their choice – and that is the measure of their success.

I congratulate those of our students who have done well, and while I am conscious that some may be feeling disappointed this morning, I encourage all of our students to remember that this is just one day in a long journey still to come. It is what happens from here on in that really matters.

I would like once more to publicly acknowledge our remarkable teaching staff who helped our students to achieve these wonderful results. I know that our teachers are very proud of their students, and I am very proud of them. I also congratulate and thank our parents, who have encouraged their sons by supporting them through the ups and downs of an extraordinary VCE year.

Congratulations once more to the Class of 2022 on their outstanding results. It is pleasing to see that their hard work has been rewarded so generously.

Music

2022 was a year for cautious optimism and rediscovering the joy of making music together. From our first Assembly to the final Christmas Service, music is central to all we do in the Junior School. Everyone participates in classroom music, where we learn to develop all the facets of a well-trained musician, where singing is our primary instrument. Students also stretch and challenge themselves by learning instruments and performing in a variety of concerts. Along with a concert early in Term 1, many of the Year 4 and 5 students performed at the Hamer Hall concert in the massed strings and the whole school Choir. Our musical, Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back, was another highlight of the year, which saw Years 3, 4, and 5 take to the stage in a variety of galactic characters. The musical was an opportunity for developing our dramatic skills on stage and creating something together.

We are so grateful for the diligent efforts of our instrumental staff who nurture and inspire the students to persist in their musical endeavours. Many other ensembles, including the Sing and String Ensemble, Bass Clef Band, Beginner Strings, Piper Snipers, Twisted Brass, Percussion Ensemble, and Recorder Ensemble, engaged and inspired the students throughout the year with performances in Assembly and the final Ensemble Soirée.

Mr Alex St Vincent Welch Head of Junior School Music

Junior School Choir

The students quickly rediscovered their voices and we were preparing repertoire for the Easter Service with the African spiritual How Can I Keep From Singing and Be Still. In contrast to this, we performed the outrageous Mad Moon in Term 1, complete with howling at the moon. We joined eight other schools at the Kodály Choral Festival, held at the Auditorium, where we performed Good Night and The Fox accompanied by Mr Jamie McGee on mandolin and Rhys Lee on drumkit. We finished the year at the Christmas Service performing an ethereal version of We Three Kings

Junior School Concert Band

The Band had another successful year, our ranks growing with new members coming through from the Year 4 Woodwind and Brass program. Our first big performance in Assembly gave us an opportunity to present what we’ve been learning in the early mornings. We’ve performed Beethoven’s Ode to Joy through to a modern Gallant March. We’ve learned how to develop our tone and technique in a variety of repertoire, as well as our inner hearing when we play many of our games to find a winning instrumentalist. Our final performance at the Junior School Ensemble Soirée has really set us up to join a Middle School ensemble with confidence. Many thanks to the instrumental staff that come down each week to help us perform and support our growing skills.

Mr Chris Day Head of Brass

Dorset Orchestra

The Dorset Orchestra was super excited to kick off 2022 together and rehearse in person, as we used to in the old days. The Dorset students learnt a variety of pieces this year, performing the Iron Horse Express in the Term 1 Concert – a piece inspired by the rhythms and sounds of old steam trains and written by Australian composer Timo Jaarvela. In Term 2, preparations kicked off for the long overdue Hamer Hall Concert. This year, we included a massed string item, where all the string students across the School played The Ballad of Lleucu Llywd and Road to County Derry by Stephen Chin all together on the Hamer Hall stage. It is truly incredible to be able to visually see on stage the journey that these students undertake when learning a string instrument at Camberwell Grammar – and how they transform from the Dorset musicians to the Highton musicians by the end of their schooling years. It was a mammoth effort. The second half of the year was focused on preparing for our Open Day and Ensemble Soirée concert. We will never take for granted the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience again that’s for sure!

Ms Suying Aw Strings Teacher

Year 2/3 Superstars Choir

The Year 2 and 3 students learnt to sing together as an ensemble, performing at Assembly, Open Day, and the Easter and Christmas services at St Mark’s. With piano accompaniment from Mr Roberts in the first half of the year and Mr Bishop in the second, the students enjoyed performing a variety of engaging repertoire in unison as well as canon and part singing. With an emphasis on fun, the Choir came together to rehearse in song every Thursday in the Music and Movement Centre.

Recorder Ensemble

After two very interrupted years, it was wonderful to hear the sounds of the Recorder Ensemble performing regularly again. This ensemble is an extension of the Year 2 recorder program

and includes students from Years 3 and 4 who develop their wind technique as well as ensemble skills. Improvisation and harmony are a big focus of this ensemble, as demonstrated in their performances at Assembly, Open Day, and the Ensemble Soirée.

Percussion Ensemble

A large group of Year 4 and 5 students gathered every Wednesday lunchtime in the Music and Movement Centre to rehearse on a variety of percussion instruments. The group developed drum circle techniques as well as improvisation on tuned percussion and more challenging rhythmic repertoire. They performed throughout the year at Assembly, Open Day, and the Ensemble Soirée.

Middle School Concert Band

The Middle School Concert Band performed in the Mid-Year Concert, Victorian School Music Festival, and the Biennial Concert. The pieces Speed Trap and Gadget were conducted by Mr Kerr, while The Sword of Lancelot and The Cottage on the Lake were conducted by Ms Wostry. All these are a mix of both quick and slow-paced pieces. Both of these styles create a great environment and show that the Middle School can play diverse styles of music. Both styles create many layers, which makes the music sound very full and lets all sections of the ensemble shine.

Aaron Lau Year 8

Middle School Stage Band

The Middle School Stage Band has had a stellar 2022, emerging from the depths of Covid-19 to perform unbridled at multiple events, such as at the Junior School Mother’s Day Breakfast, Jazz Night, the Junior and Middle School Concert, and the Junior School Father’s Day Breakfast. Most notable of all was our performance at the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall, with soloists Nicholas Radelczyk (Trombone) and Louis Herbert (Saxophone) taking centre stage with their dazzling rendition of Smash Mouth’s All Star. All our hard work, Monday lunchtime rehearsals, and extra practice sessions on Wednesdays were well-invested, culminating in a fabulous year’s repertoire, team bonding, and a celebration of music. We owe our thanks to the wonderful Ms Wostry and her team of dedicated music teachers who kept us all in line and in tune during rehearsals! The Stage Band has been a wonderful musical experience, an adventure into jazz and blues music. We hope the band continues its show-stopping music in 2023.

Middle School Orchestra

2022 Middle School Orchestra was a wonderful experience,

great opportunity to socialise with friends while playing music. The effort that we collectively have put in, such as the Thursday lunchtime section tutorials and after-school whole orchestra rehearsals, has resulted in an extraordinary performance of the iconic James Bond theme song 007: Through the Years at the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall. Being the first time in four years that we have been able to put on the show, we all did exceptionally well. However, this would not have been possible without the support of our outstanding music staff.

Angliss Strings

Angliss Strings has been very productive this year. We have been very lucky this year to have all of our rehearsals offline. Ms Grosman, who manages Angliss Strings, led us through a series of pieces including Vivaldi’s Concerto for 2 Violins, which we played at the Junior and Middle School Concert. This performance featured Nathan Wayne and Leo Qi as soloists. We also collaborated with other Camberwell Grammar orchestra ensembles and played two Celtic pieces by Stephen Chin at Hamer Hall. We did some other fun pieces like Palladio and Evening Shadows. This has been a very successful and lucky year for Angliss Strings.

Leo Qi Year 8

Dorset Orchestra

What a stunning time it has been this year for Dorset. We have worked hard on many pieces this year and had continuous rehearsals to polish and fix our pieces ready to perform. Countless tutorials, run-throughs, and little tweaks were done to make our pieces sound the best. Dorset has performed many times this year, but the climax was at Hamer Hall, playing brilliant music that I am privileged to hear. We have worked through sweat and tears and nightly practice to make some outstanding music. Dorset is one of the best string orchestras I’ve heard and have made some unforgettable music.

Ethan Zhao Year 6

Senior School Music

Live performance to a recording is a real connection to connectivity; social interaction to social networking; loving a post to loving a person. I don’t think we realised how important, how marvellous it was to play music together until it was taken from us – and it is wonderful to have it back again this year.

We are the lucky ones at Camberwell Grammar, we are the community that gets to sing together, play together, and belong together through music. Writing this report as the Year 12s of 2022 wind up their studies and go through the motions of their ‘final’ classes, Assemblies, and moments as a cohort is an interesting time to reflect on the role that music can play in education and the effect that regular exposure to music making has on the individual.

For some time, we have known beyond doubt that students involved in music are more connected to each other, to their academic studies, to their schools, and to their communities. More recently, we have learnt that it is impossible to make music together in a satisfying way unless we regularly meet in a physical time and place (or IRL as it is often abbreviated). It is the process of being together, listening, communicating,

working together, and, hopefully, achieving something together that is fundamental to music-making. And this is the key reason that students actively involved in music-making do better –academically, emotionally, and socially too.

As humans, we simply have not evolved to experience our lives via a screen or to be physically distanced from our friends, families, and communities. Isolating ourselves in our bedrooms, houses, and even in public with our phones and AirPods can be easy escapism, but is eroding our attention span, our ability to read body language, and our interpersonal relationships. In a world where it is too easy to go for a long scroll down your phone or fall into a rabbit hole of Reddit, it is our regular rituals of being together – physically in the same space with our focus away from technology – that are becoming more and more valuable and important to our wellbeing as a species. Music making is the only activity that gives us that 100% distraction-free, fully-focused connection to each other, and therefore our music, and singing in particular is now vital to our post-Covid recovery.

We are the lucky ones at Camberwell Grammar. We have known these connections and benefits for years; in fact, we celebrate and champion them. The late Richard Gill AO said that we are ‘not a good example of music education in Australian schools’, which was his greatest compliment – because sadly, our school is in the minority. We sing together, we play together, and we reserve, respect, and ritualise time for these activities – this is our greatest strength as a community. And it is our community that makes our music possible. On behalf of all of the music staff and music students at Camberwell Grammar, I would like to humbly thank every member of our community for supporting us through Covid-19 so that we could triumphantly rise again this year. Long may it continue and be an example to others of what is possible when there is music in our hearts, at the core of our culture.

Mr Ben Bishop Head of Music

‘We sing together, we play together, and we reserve, respect, and ritualise time for these activities – this is our greatest strength as a community.’

Following the previous two years of lockdowns due to Covid-19, 2022 saw a rejuvenation of the music program that we haven’t seen since 2019. A multitude of milestones have taken place within the Music School over the course of the year, ranging from the first Hamer Hall concert in four years to the Concert Band participating in their first Victorian Schools Music Festival. The year has truly been an incredible introduction back into life post-Covid, and can only be attributed to the efforts of both the students and teachers alike.

The year began quickly with the long-awaited return of the House Music Competition which saw all competing parties vie for the trophy. However, as a result of a closely contested race, the competition ended in a somewhat anticlimactic three-way tie for first with Clifford, Steven, and Summons all finishing with equal points on top.

Ensuing this, however, was the establishment of the newly created Junior and Middle School Concert as well as the Senior Chamber Concert. Both occasions displayed a wonderful variety of musical expertise and diversity with ensembles varying from choirs to string ensembles to the final Orchestral items.

In spite of this, the premier event of the year was still to come, and with it came widespread anticipation of the Biennial Concert, which hadn’t been held in four years. The tireless efforts of early morning, lunchtime, and even holiday rehearsals were not put to waste, and culminated in a magnificent performance at the renowned Hamer Hall. Brilliant displays of technique and musical understanding were exhibited to all who were able to watch, and the night finished with a deafening rendition of the School’s adopted anthem, Chess

After such a euphoric moment, the year however was still not concluded, with the return of the Elva Allen Concert still to come.

Similarly to Hamer Hall, this night had not been held in a number of years, nevertheless, the students put on a splendid evening of varied music from Shostakovich to Jacob, leaving the audience with their appetite for music certainly satisfied.

2022 was a fantastic year of music for teachers and students alike, bringing together a community seemingly separated in a wonderful amalgamation of performance. Speaking on behalf of the departing cohort of 2022, it has been a privilege to grow up through the Music School; developing and flourishing as musicians under the wisdom and experience of our knowledgeable teachers. I wish all the best for those in the years to come.

Freddy Branson Captain of Music

Senior School Orchestra

The Senior School Orchestra was enthusiastic about their longawaited return to the stage following a two-year hiatus. Right out of the gates, the year started off with beautiful renditions at the Chamber Concert with Khachaturian’s Adagio from Spartacus and Strauss’ Thunder and Lightning Polka. However, it was the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall that the students most looked forward to. Under time-limited conditions, the Senior Orchestra performed Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers and accompanied the School in singing I Vow to Thee My Country and Never Tear Us Apart

It has been a wonderful year in Orchestra and an overall enjoyable experience having the opportunity to play and perform with friends once again.

Mathieu Ly Year 12

Senior School Stage Band

This year was an extremely exciting time for the Senior School Stage Band, with two major performances, Jazz Night and, of course, the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall. Mr Johnston’s tireless energy in both leading the ensemble and composing four original pieces helped Stage Band reach the great technical and musical heights that we achieved this year. In addition, his arrangement of Beyond the Sea for the Biennial Concert was met with much fanfare as the Stage Band accompanied the School’s mass singing.

For the Year 12s in Stage Band, the last two or three years have been a really amazing experience. Stage Band is always a breath of fresh air when compared to the other ensembles, the music being completely different, and allowing you to express yourself in other ways. I have had an exciting time playing and honing my craft in Stage Band for three years now, making me a much better musician, while having great fun along the way.

Charles Lewis Year 12

CGS Chorale

Chorale in 2022 was the first year back since 2019 when Covid-19 had not disrupted the flow of rehearsals and put a mask over the voices of our group. However, the resilience shown by the students was truly inspiring. Performing Lux Aurumque and Good Night Dear Heart, Chorale’s one and only showcase in 2022 came in Hamer Hall. However, the sound reverberating off every surface of Hamer Hall was simply brilliant, especially after four years of time away from a venue like it. Of course, none of this could have been possible without Mr Kerr and Mr Roberts who worked tirelessly to perfect these songs and provide support with the music. It’s been a lovely six years in Chorale for me and I just want to express my thanks also to the students in this choir. Without the old and current ‘Kerralers’ my experience could not have been as pleasurable as it was. I wish all the best for future year’s Chorale groups and cannot wait to be in the audience next time listening to the mastery of harmony and melody in the form of singing.

Andrew Nguyen Year 12

Senior School Choir

It has been amazing being a part of this choir since 2017. It has always been such a strong group of singers, even in Middle School (sometimes), and I’m so lucky to have this experience. Throughout the years, the times I enjoyed the most weren’t necessarily the performances, although they were always amazing, but rather the rehearsals, the community, and of course the iconic tie-throwing. This year was certainly a blast and one I’ll always cherish. Finally being able to perform again in front of a live crowd after so many years at home, singing with my friends to pieces both familiar and not, and just overall being able to lead such a talented group will certainly be a large highlight of my school experience, and a memory I’ll never forget. I wish I could stay part of this group for longer but at the same time I’m happy ending on such an amazing performance; one final high note before becoming an ‘adult’ with ‘responsibilities’.

Andrew Bishop Year 12

Senior School Concert Band

2022 has been a rewarding year for the Senior School Concert Band. After two years of Covid-19 disruption, it was a relief for students to be able to enjoy a full year of music. Taking advantage of their regained freedom, the Senior School Concert Band has grasped opportunities to perform, including at the Chamber Concert and the Biennial Concert at Hammer Hall, where they performed Percy Grainger’s I’m Seventeen Come Sunday. The band also represented the School at the Victorian Schools Music Festival. It was the first time a concert band from Camberwell Grammar had attended the festival. The Band performed in the Advanced Concert Band section and were awarded a gold shield for their performance. The Ensemble, along with the Senior School Symphonic Winds, has also been given the honour of accompanying Camberwell Grammar’s Cadet Unit in their March out Parade on Open Day. A fitting way to wrap up a wonderful year of music.

A huge thank you to Mr Day for conducting the Band throughout the year.

Charles Campbell-Cowan Year 11

Highton Strings

Highton Strings went above and beyond in their disciplined commitment to various music items this year. It was only under the spirited tutelage of Ms Grosman and Ms Atkinson that our ensemble was able to further individual technical skills and musicianship, as well as place a particular focus on communication. The year commenced with eager anticipation for the Richard Gill Memorial Festival of Strings, in which the ensemble released the unbridled excitement of Piazzolla’s La Muerte Del Angel, followed by a particularly special combined schools’ performance of Beethoven’s famous 5th Symphony. Our ensemble’s presence in the School and in the Music Department certainly expanded, adopting new grounds with a special Mr Johnston arrangement of Tenderly at the Jazz Night. Undoubtedly, it was the technically challenging Suite for Strings by Rutter that brought both the students’ and teachers’ determination to the surface, with a performance at the Biennial Concert marking the final spectacle for the Year 12s.

I speak on behalf of all the Year 12 leavers who have persisted and developed with this ensemble when I say that the experience has been astounding. Even with the stress of balancing numerous commitments, the opportunity to perform at such a high standard will not be one of our regrets. We look forward to seeing what Highton Strings will achieve in the future.

Senior School Symphonic Winds

With 2022 being the Senior School Symphonic Winds’ first lockdown-free year since our inception, it has also been the first that we have had the chance to perform together as a band! Some highlights throughout the year included our first-ever gig at the Chamber Concert in May, performing Black Panther at the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall, and participating in the Cadet Parade on Open Day. We were also lucky enough to partake in the Victorian Schools Music Festival, where we were able to workshop our pieces with Mr Ken Waterworth, a well-renowned conductor and music educator. The whole band grew immensely as we learnt to come together to play as one after the long years in the pandemic. On behalf of the band, we would like to deeply thank all our band tutors, particularly conductors Ms Stephanie Dixon and Mr Alexander Hurst for their tireless effort throughout the year in planning, leading, and developing all our skills in the band.

CGS Big Band

After two years of painful lockdowns and online classes, the CGS Big Band was back and better than ever before. We commenced the year with the amazing and first-ever Jazz Night, in May. The CGS Big Band opened the night with performances of Time to Testify, Tuxedo Junction, and with the help from the great voice of Liam McCarthy, Georgia on My Mind. We continued to rehearse for our last performance on Open Day, where we played the best pieces from Jazz Night plus the fast and exciting piece Shazam. All in all, the CGS Big Band has continued to rise to new levels this year.

Drumline

This year, the Camberwell Grammar Drumline has played through a number of fantastic events to show off their brilliant coordination, teamwork, and skills. Sticks were tossed, basses were slammed, and cymbals were crashed as the Drumline tirelessly perfected their craft of percussion. From displaying their unrivaled and awe-inspiring prowess at Hamer Hall, to shocking the local community at Open Day, the lineup of 11 students embarked upon a musical (and quite loud) experience that is like none other. Their unique ability to completely mesmerize the audience and really create an experience that is far from any genre they may have heard before is what makes the Drumline so memorable and a delight to watch.

At the end of Term 3, the Camberwell Grammar Drumline entered the Australian Drumline Competition for the first time. We recorded a video submission on a wet, rainy day running in and out of hail. Despite this challenge, the students did incredibly well and achieved the following results:

• Winners of B Grade

• Would have come 3rd in A Grade with their final score

• Received a highly commended award for: Best Cymbal Section, Best Bass Drum Section and Best Quad section across the whole competition. This is a massive achievement and a wonderful result for a very inexperienced line in their first competition.

Music Academy

This year, the Music Academy has continued with its quest to create closer links with Australia’s musical community.

In April, Camberwell Grammar held the Inaugural Richard Gill Memorial Festival of Strings. Our Academy String players joined with string players from Melbourne Girls Grammar School, Scotch, and PLC under the baton of Graham Abbott to perform a special arrangement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. It was particularly magical as the late Richard Gill’s widow, Maureen Gill, gave a moving speech about the value of a music education for all.

The Music Academy enjoyed visits from pianist Stefan Cassomenos, Bassist Rohan Dasika, Cellists Edith Salzman and Richard Narroway, Tuba player Fabian Russell, Saxophonist Lachlan Davidson, Violinist Simon James, Violist Ivan Vukcevic, Baroque Violinist Rachael Beesley, Flautist Prue Davis, and Oboist Josh de Graaf. In a special combined event with the Sports Academy, there were Pilates classes to examine the importance of core strength and playing a musical instrument.

Musicians enjoyed two excursions this year. The first was to Opera Australia’s La Traviata and the Australian World Orchestra’s performance of three Strauss tone poems under the baton of Zubin Mehta. This was particularly enjoyable as our Head of Strings, Ms Lisa Grosman, was on stage.

In July, four of our musicians performed in a live 3MBSFM broadcast. Charles Campbell-Cowan, Tiger Diao, Steven Wang, and Captain of Music Freddy Branson performed and spoke beautifully on air.

This year, Camberwell Grammar musicians had unprecedented representation at the Australian Youth Orchestra programs with Owen Wu, Nicholas Branson, Charles Taliadoros, James Kerferd, and Derrick Kwon taking part in the Young Symphonists program. Our students also took advantage of the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra’s Workshop Young Mannheim Symphonists with Rachael Beesley. Isaac Field, Matthew Rogers, Victor Liu, Eric Zhou, Ethan Wang and Richard Su took part in this enriching week of historically informed performance.

This year, we farewell flautist and Captain of Music Freddy Branson. He is a marvellous musician who has reached the highest pinnacle that a school student can reach. He has also made an enormous commitment to our school culture. We wish him all the best for his further studies.

It is always inspiring to see Camberwell Grammar’s music students represent our musically enriched community on the national stage.

Star Warts: The Umpire Strikes Back

In a galaxy far, far away, Luke Warmwater and his aunt, Daft Ada, live a lonely life on their secluded space station, Junction 51. But when Princess Nebula’s ship crash lands in Luke’s bedroom, they soon learn of the evil Umpire and his dark desire to conquer the universe.

Along with Toby Wonky Nosebleed, Zak Solo, and Nigel the Nookie, they follow Princess Nebula in her rebellion. Aboard the Millennium Penguin, they whizz warp-speed through the galaxy to the Umpire’s High Tower on Planet Wimbledonia. But little do they know; the Umpire is about to strike back! These galactic goofballs embark on a space adventure light-years from home, encountering dippy droids, mad martians, spaced-out Space Rangers, and a ferocious pot-plant called Gordon. Can our crazy crew master the power of the sauce to save the galaxy, or will it be game, set, and match to the Umpire?

The Junior School musical production is a biennial event comprising all students from Years 3, 4, and 5. This year, the main cast of 27 actors rehearsed regularly during and after school to perfect their stagecraft, acting, singing, and dancing. Led by their Director Mrs Trista Fry and Acting Coaches Mr Mathew McRae, Mr Michael Pettolino, and Ms Michelle Ponert, the cast formed a cohesive team who worked together with fun, flexibility, and determination. Our new Head of Junior School Music and Musical Director, Mr Alex St Vincent Welch, inspired the amazing soloists and chorus singers to produce high standards of performance with energy and heart.

The Camberwell Grammar School Production team must be acknowledged for the many hours of time taken to source

and create all the wonderful costumes and props, ticketing, programs, filming, sound, lighting, and all the other behind-thescenes theatre coordination that made this show a success. For many students, this first venture onto the stage is the beginning of an interest in theatre and performing arts. The care taken for each member of the cast and chorus by Camberwell Grammar staff ensured life-long memories were made and budding thespians were nurtured in their craft.

After rehearsing throughout Term 2, the show came together at a frenetic pace in the Middleton Theatre, with props, costumes, and microphones in action for the first time. As the cast prepared for their final dress rehearsal, the unfortunate news came that two main cast members were unable to perform due to illness. Condolences were made to Brian Yan (Year 5), Lord Yoga, and Leonardo Tahn (Year 5), Racketeer Roe, who, after their tireless work throughout the term, were unable to perform in the final performances. Congratulations and thank you to Alexander Yakop (Year 4), Samuel Cai (Year 4), and William Zhao (Year 5) who ensured the show could go on by portraying new characters they had not rehearsed and memorising additional lines.

The full chorus of colourful characters rose to the occasion and performed with flair, energy, and comedic timing for three crowdpleasing performances. From our chorus of Year 3 Apprentices, Year 4 Trekkies, and Year 5 Diddily Squits, to our Cosmic VIPs, the Jelly Nits, the evil Umpire’s Court, and our heroic Rebels, it truly required the power of the sauce to put on a musical of this size and calibre.

May the sauce be with you.

The Nutcracker

Finishing the year in musical style, the Pre-Prep to Year 2 students collaborated to present an adaptation of The Nutcracker to an enthusiastic afternoon audience in the Middleton Theatre. The Year 2s narrated this classic story while also presenting the beautiful Christmas tree, toy soldiers, and battle with the Mouse King through creative movement. The Year 1, Pre-Prep, and Prep students then artistically performed various dances featured in the Land of the Sweets, including the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Waltz of the Flowers. With gorgeous costumes and delightful illustrations enhancing their storytelling, these young performers delivered a joyous concert with a festive Christmas spirit.

The Time Machine

This year’s Middle School Production found its origins in the mind of creative genius H.G. Wells – The Time Machine. The story sees H.G. (played with superb vivacity and conviction by Year 8 student Thomas Klebanowski) relocating from London to New York to be amongst other influential inventors such as Nikoli Tesla and Thomas Edison. He invites his circle of friends (characterized with much vim and panache by Year 7’s Frank Roodenburg, Kamran Vohra, Lachlan Barnes, and James Lyster) to meet at his Upper East Side abode, where he reveals to them his newest invention – the Time Machine.

Soon after, he takes an exciting but often confusing journey into the future, meeting up with 1956 rock ‘n’ rolling teenagers, Lucas Andreopoulos (Year 7) and Lachlan Millard (Year 8), Charles Manson (Year 7’s Dante Tassone) and his ‘Family’ on their way to a ‘Love In’ in 1968, and some social media crazed teens experiencing 2020’s Covid-19 lockdown. Eventually, he lands thousands of years into the future hoping to find the utopian world he envisaged. Instead, he discovers humanity has regressed into two races, the mild and gentle Eloi and the cannibalistic Morlocks. Aided by Weena, a young Eloi he saves from drowning, George must discover the whereabouts of his stolen Time Machine so he may return to his own era unscathed. Both acting and dancing rehearsals for the show commenced back in early May, involving a group of young and eager students from both Camberwell Grammar and Canterbury

Girls’ Secondary College. The script evolved to include dance sequences representing each time frame in which George found himself. Seal’s Crazy is also featured to depict the fight sequence between the Eloi and Morlocks which led to the latter’s domination. Sunday morning dance rehearsals became a time of much hilarity and fun, led enthusiastically by Andy Howitt, who also choreographed 2021’s The Great Gatsby

The show additionally offered opportunities for past Middle School actors to become involved behind the scenes, with Ravin Desai (Year 11) assembling the visually stunning time travel sequences and Show Calling the performances and Raphael Champion (Year 10), Tommy Auwardt (Year 10), and Nathan Bosmans (Year 10) Stage Managing the backstage crew and leading the warmups for the cast. Ms Tara Suri, from the Weickhardt Library, designed the superb soundscapes and special effects which helped create the atmosphere of the show so evocatively, and the splendid set and costumes were designed by the ever-accomplished Mr Mark Wager and Mrs Jennifer Bennie respectively.

The Time Machine was a delight to direct because of the incredible dedication and talent of its young cast, and was definitely one of the most fun shows to rehearse. In the words of H.G. Wells, ‘I’ve had the most amazing time!’

The Threepenny Opera

The Threepenny Opera was premiered in 1928 by Brecht’s Berliner Ensemble with the help of his essential collaborator Elisabeth Hauptmann. However, it is really Kurt Weill’s score that keeps the piece alive today; perpetually jerky, slippery, and unpredictable. Just as you start to hum along with a tune, it heads off in a totally different direction.

The Famous Spiegeltent is the most beautiful of the few remaining Belgian Spiegeltents, built in 1920 it has travelled the world. Since Marlene Dietrich sang Falling in Love Again on its self-same stage in the 1930s, it has travelled the world to end up here at Camberwell Grammar. Just like The Threepenny Opera itself, the tent is no dusty museum piece but a vibrant and contemporary experience, and Mr Andrew Stocker’s marriage of venue and performance was a match made in heaven. The smell of teak, the drape of luxurious fabric, and the sparkle of reflected light from the mirrors created a magical space. As the lights dimmed, the overture by Mr Ben Bishops’ The Threepenny Band, ably co-directed by Darby Lee, foreshadowed what was to come with an ominous thrumming. The ensemble burst through the surrounding audience, and the Balladeers, with yellow checked trousers, red tailcoats, and top hats boldly proclaiming, ‘This is the Threepenny opera’. This was clearly not going to be dull Agitprop theatre!

There are no secrets hidden from the audience. Brecht suggested placards bookending each scene. Here, a jaunty disembodied hand scribes for us what is to come in each scene

with an emphatic full stop, introducing the characters and action. Fletcher Von Arx was an extraordinary Macheath, the master criminal undone by his sexual voracity. Every scene was played with enormous relish and obvious delight as he veered from barely disguised violence to indulgent lecherousness. ‘In this world, ladies and gentlemen, only those with cash are truly free,’ he tells us. Colin Jiang was truly a Peachum for our times; a forceful iron fist in a dandyish, foppish glove with bouffant hair and extravagant make-up, a ‘perfumed ponce’ as he is later described. Lexie Smith was outstanding as his lecherous wife Mrs Peachum, whose ‘Ballad of Lust and Desire’ was delivered with gusto and pathos. Tragic Jenny, Emmanuelle D’Adamo, a broken figure, and Annabel Nelson were the embattled rivals for Macheath’s affections. Polly’s wistful ‘Barbara Song’ was very Brechtian in tone, ‘I perform, and you’re sitting there as scum’; Annabel has a gorgeous voice and performed with great poise and nuanced delivery.

The action starts with Charlie Filcher ‘the unluckiest soul in the world’, played with suitable pathos by Jade Bishop, looking for an opening. Survival in a corrupt world, Peacham teaches him, requires compromise, ‘we can’t have ethics that we can’t afford.’ We are shown the four types of the basic beggar, Ned Chesler was quite convincingly crazy as an escapee from a lunatic asylum!

Mack’s gang was indeed a very dodgy collection of assorted rogues; Jonty Neil was consistently off-putting as Walter, ‘posh boy’ Robert was played with flash pomposity by

Cooper Carbone, and Andy Bishop, Thomas Newman, Hugh Cran, Connor Inston, and Zaid Imran all admirably supported with clear Brechtian archetypes. Special mention surely to William Allsop’s ‘cockingly’ guileless Officer Smith. Tiger Brown, Limehouse’s own Superintendent, is one of Mack’s oldest foes, the arbiter of justice, and is played dourly and humourlessly by Harry Watson.

True to Epic Theatre, we are all made complicit in the action as Peachum addresses the audience, urging us to be ‘patriots’ reminiscent of recent events in the US. Despite his shocking behaviour, Macheath chastises us and warns us not to judge him as Balladeers appear with a message from the King. ‘We want you to leave happy’ they say ‘look who’s here!’ as Tommy Auwardt enters as a foppish, camp King who not only forgives but provides a substantial salary for the terrible Mack The Knife. (You must wonder what was written in that pink envelope.)

DRAMA

Mrs Jennifer Bennie’s wardrobe had nods to the excesses of the 1980s, the Weimar Republic, the unnerving makeup of Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, and even Victorian dandies and was perfectly complemented by Martina Lindsey’s makeup and Kerrin Barker’s hair styling. Miss Miranda McDonald’s choreography of ‘The Pimps Ballet’ was a testament to her skill, using the whole cast in a restricted space ‘in-the-round’ but allowing clear views and something interesting for everybody.

Mr Andrew Stocker’s direction was exactly as Brecht and Weill wanted; a night at the theatre should not be like immersing yourself in a warm relaxing bath but should keep you constantly alert and questioning what is happening in front of you. As Mack himself remarks, ‘There was nothing beautiful about that, it was art.’

What did life B.C – BEFORE CAMBERWELL – look like?

During weekly art sessions, students mapped out a timeline of all things old, creating artworks representing the ancient world. From the very beginning, the Big Bang theory to dinosaurs roaming our planet, right through to Indigenous, Egyptian, and Greek artworks. All this was created by young artists from Prep to Year 5, covering both two and three-dimensional art forms.

During Open Day, we celebrated and exhibited the students’ art-making with our inaugural Junior School Art Show. Families and the wider community entered the marquee exhibition space through a central installation of a colossal volcano with overhanging exploding bones. The gallery space was bright and colourful. QR codes accompanied some of the art with poetry, dinosaur stories, and dance videos on display.

This year our Artist in Residence Program transformed our basketball courts with street artist Bjarni from Happy Decay. The mural reinforced our School Values and ‘Yeti’ approach to learning. Most students assisted the artist and painted a section of the mural creating a vibrant and engaging space.

2022 was a year of no lockdowns with our artists on campus –filling the studios with joyous art making.

We welcomed Mrs Sally Walk to the Art and Design family and, wow, didn’t she make an impact! An internationally renowned ceramicist, Sally had her Middle School students delighting in the use of clay, learning and applying new techniques, and creating beautifully refined pieces. Sally also brought her wealth of knowledge on teaching and learning in the Visual Arts, and this new perspective made collegial dialogue refreshing. This can only benefit the artists of Camberwell Grammar.

The exhibition season kicked off in June with the inaugural Year 8 Exhibition. The diversity of themes and media on display was only trumped by the explosion of colour and the excitement of attendees on opening night. It was brilliant to have the artists keenly explain their thinking and their art-making process with such clarity and pride. The Old Camberwell Grammarians’ Association (OCGA) Exhibition followed, and again it was great to celebrate the creative community of Camberwell Grammar. The season concluded with the brilliant Exit 22 Year 12 Art, Studio Art, and Visual Communication Design Exhibition in October. It was a fantastic showcase of the resilience, determination, and creativity of our graduating artists. The diversity of themes and the written reflections revealed the deeply personal journey that our Art and Design students go on. As one student said, ‘Art is not as easy as people make it out to be. There is no other subject in which I have had to think as long and hard about what I am doing as Art. And that’s its value, it makes you think.’

Being back on campus allowed for excursions and incursions to take place, adding flavour to teaching programs and allowing students to gain inspiration and insights into the practices of others. Years 11 and 12 Art and Studio Art students saw the compelling Patricia Piccinini exhibition in the Ballroom of Flinders Street Station as well as Top Arts, We are Change and the Queer exhibitions at NGV, along with Year 10 students viewing Who are You - Australian Identity, Top Arts, and the printmaking exhibitions. Year 9 students were introduced to the multisensory digital projections of Van Gogh’s masterpieces at Lume Melbourne and also spent the afternoon familiarising themselves with the collection at NGV International.

A huge thank you to the amazing Art and Design staff; your encouragement of all students, your passion and dedication to your craft, and your support for one another fills me with great pride.

Finally, a massive thank you to our amazing Art technicians who just make things happen. Your support and hard work is greatly appreciated.

Junior School House Athletics Carnival

On Tuesday 18 October, all Year 3 to 5 students competed in the Junior School House Athletics Carnival held at Doncaster Athletics Track. It was a fantastic day with the weather allowing us to enjoy the sun and for the students to give it their all in an array of events throughout the day. They all participated well and showcased their amazing talent along with some fantastic results. It was great to see parents there to cheer them on and support them. Staff and students made the day very enjoyable, thank you to everyone who made it such a successful event.

It was extremely close in the House points tally, as Summons beat Derham by two points to secure the win!

Final scores as follows:

Summons 154 points

Derham 152 points

Bridgland 146 points Robinson 131 points

Steven 118 points Macneil 109 points Clifford 86 points Schofield 85 points

Lower Primary Athletics Carnival

On Wednesday 23 November, our Prep students competed in their first Camberwell Grammar Athletics Carnival, along with the Year 1 and 2 students. All students competed in the 80m sprint, the Year 2 students also competed in shot put, vortex throw, 300m run, shuttle relay, and tug of war.

The Prep and Year 1 students participated in numerous relay events. Big smiles were on all faces when students received their ribbons. It was wonderful that parents were able to attend and share in the excitement of the day.

Middle School House Competition

Middle School House Sport was back with a full itinerary in 2022 and it was great to see the students participating enthusiastically and enjoying themselves. Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country, Tee-Ball, Soccer, European Handball, Volleyball, Dodgeball, Futsal, Table Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee, and Vortex were all hotly contested throughout the year as students from Years 6, 7, and 8 competed for the H.L. Tonkin Memorial Trophy.

Athletics Carnival

The Athletics Carnival was held at the AC Robertson Athletics Track, Ringwood, in Week 9 of Term 1. The students were excited to compete in, what would be for many, their first Athletics Carnival at Camberwell Grammar. In cool conditions, the competition between the Houses was tight as they scrapped for every point. There were many excellent performances on the day, with the combined efforts in the Relays elevating Steven House to first place closely followed by Schofield and Summons.

Individual medal recipients for each Year level were:

MEDAL YEAR 6 YEAR 7 YEAR 8

Gold Charlie Rose (ROB) Lucas Papadopoulos (ROB) Harrison Ross (STE)

Silver Rowan Li (DER) Lachlan Hoyling (CLI) Tyler Li (CLI)

Bronze Ryan Noor (STE) Adrian Lee (BRI) Maximilian Coia (MAC)

Term 2 saw the opportunity for students to showcase their talents for their respective Houses in the pool. The depth and strength of Swimming at Camberwell Grammar was evident in many fine performances on the day; notably by Xander Zefferelli (Robinson), Nathan Nai (Derham), and Austin Chien (Summons). There was spirited support poolside throughout the competition and each House realised success in different events over the course of the meet. The atmosphere was electric right to the end as Steven valiantly held out Robinson, and stormed home to finish with a tally of 818 points, only 14 points shy of Steven House. Final standings for House Swimming were Steven in First place, Robinson in Second, and Schofield in Third.

HOUSES

Cross Country

The Cross Country event was held in Week 5 of Term 3 at Westerfolds Park. The students braved the wet and cold conditions as they navigated the picturesque 3km course. It was encouraging to see competitors of all abilities give their best to earn points for their House. In the end, Steven House was too strong across the board and won the day ahead of Summons and Schofield. There were many outstanding performances, most notably in the Year 8 race with only 1 second separating Harvey Williams and James Alex. Harvey won the race in a time of 11 minutes and 16 seconds. Lachlan Hoyling in the Year 7 race bested the field with an imposing time of 11 minutes and 20 seconds.

Following a two-year hiatus from House sporting activities, the eagerness of our students was clearly evident and the House spirit demonstrated throughout was terrific. It is the opportunity to partake in such co-curricular activities that help build the culture and spirit for which Camberwell Grammar is renowned. The culmination of results for all House activities and carnivals saw Steven House being awarded the H.L. Tonkin Memorial Trophy for 2022. Congratulations to all in Steven House, ably led by Ms Katrina Massey and Mr Dominic McLaughlin, for their consistent efforts over the course of the year.

House Sport

2022 saw the resumption of the full Senior School House Sport program, providing a range of opportunities for House leaders and all Year 9-12 students.

The first event of the year was House Athletics, held at Bill Sewart Athletics Track in Burwood. Derham House won Year 9, led by Jack Zhang whose sprinting prowess earned him an individual gold medal. Joshua Carlin (DER) dominated the Year 9 distance events and Sam Grlj (CLI) ran well, winning the individual silver medal. Mitchell Graham (MAC) won bronze.

In Year 10, Bridgland was too strong, with excellent individual performances from Zac Matters (Bronze). Harry Clarke’s sprinting and jumping earned him a silver medal and helped Schofield House to a second place, whilst Will Richardson’s range from 400m to 1500m was enough to secure him an individual gold medal.

In Year 11, Sebastian Beck dominated his sprint events, earning a gold medal for his individual efforts and propelling Clifford House to a convincing win over Schofield. There was an even spread of points across other events, with Lachlan Harker (MAC) earning a silver medal and Joshua Hui (STE) collecting bronze.

In Year 12, Lachlan Ross (SCH) earned gold with powerful sprinting. Silver medals were shared by Ed Harper (ROB), who was clearly the strongest in the distance events, and Caleb Finlayson (ROB) who looked solid over the hurdles. Akalanka Gunawardana’s expertise in jumps and discus earned him a bronze medal. Overall, the Year 12 age group was won by Clifford.

When

The Multisport competition was held over two afternoons in May. House leaders were challenged with filling combined Year 9/10 and Year 11/12 teams in six different events.

In Handball, Will Joy’s Year 9/10 Schofield team was too strong overall, whilst Wyatt Brennan was impressive as Steven’s team took out the Year 11/12 event. In Soccer, Daniel Teele and his Bridgland Year 9/10 team won, whilst First XI representative Gregory Kerdemelidis led his Clifford Year 11/12s to victory. In Badminton, Clifford’s Chauncey Yu showed his class, leading his Year 9/10 team to a solid win, whilst Tony Chen’s Bridgland took out Year 11/12. In Table Tennis, Justin Kwan led Clifford to the win in Year 9/10, whilst Steven House Captain Alec McDougall led by example as Steven House won Year 11/12. In Basketball, Macneil’s Harrison Taylor was impressive as his Year 9/10 team won their half-court competition, while fellow First Basketball representatives Benny Grayson and Harrison Haintz saw Bridgland secure the Year 11/12 event. Finally, twins Orlando and Kadell Kuti led their Year 9/10 Schofield team to victory in the doubles Tennis. In Year 11/12, House Captain Hugo Thornton was impressive as his Robinson team won. Overall, the consistency of Schofield was just enough to edge out Robinson, allowing Pavara Jayawardena to stand proudly and accept the trophy on behalf of his House again.

the final points were tallied, House Captains Lidong Chen (CLI) and Pavara Jayawardena (SCH) proudly shared the trophy to kick off the race for the Jarrett Cup.

In June, a revamped Swimming program was run at the Ngaere Wilson Pool. The competition was fast and frenetic, with many swimmers keen to demonstrate their strength following the successful campaign of the AGSV Swimming squad earlier in the year.

In Year 9, Ric Shen led Macneil to a win over James Gargano’s Summons. In Year 10, Hugh Cran’s Bridgland edged out Ryan Humphries’ Clifford. In Year 11, Cooper Lewis’ Clifford team won over Lachlan Nguyen’s Robinson. In Year 12, Rory Noonan’s Steven House did enough to secure the win.

Year 12s Yanning Zhang and Cody Greenwood swam powerfully all day, but it was the consistency of Gregory Kerdemelidis’ Clifford and Richard Luo’s Macneil that earned them shared honours overall.

The final event on the Jarrett Cup calendar was House Cross Country, which was held on a rainy morning at Westerfolds Park in Templestowe. A hilly 3km course covered both muddy dirt trails and cycle paths, presenting all runners with a challenging run.

In Year 9, Joshua Carlin won over Sam Grlj and a fast-finishing Adam Li. In Year 10, Harrison Car ran the fastest time over the day to beat Daniel Chen and Will Aldred. In Year 11, Henry Shirrefs was first, beating Jack Dobbyn and Joshua Blew. Finally, Sam Woods led from start to finish, a comfortable winner in the Year 12 event, with Ben Grlj and Billy Swingler joining him on the podium in their final House event.

Overall, as is very often the case, the House with the greatest depth won overall. With points counting all the way to the 10th

placed finisher in each House, those lesser-known runners who were able to claw a few extra places in the final kilometre helped their House to substantially more points. Derham won the Year 9 event and Summons the Year 11, but it was Schofield, with victory in Year 10 and 12 and a solid result in Year 11 who won overall.

Following the four Jarrett Cup events, it was Clifford House, led by Lidong Chen, who emerged victorious for the second consecutive year and accepted the trophy at the Prize Giving Assembly.

Thank you to all staff, team organisers, and students for helping to make this year’s competition a success.

Mr David Rayner Deputy Head of Senior School and Senior School House Coordinator

‘It was Clifford House, led by Lidong Chen, who emerged victorious for the second consecutive year.’

Following last year’s contest, broken up by intermittent lockdowns and a novel performance setting, the 56th annual House Music Competition was highly anticipated by all, with every House eager to take out the competition and bring home the hardware for themselves. Similar to the previous year, each House was to present one choral song in parts under the topic of ‘songs by a Melbourne artist’ and one instrumental piece of their choice.

Unfazed by the restrictions regarding indoor rehearsals, the Music Department, in association with the Heads of Houses, came up with a solution to allow Houses to have equal rehearsal opportunities while remaining outdoors. This came in the form of seven total rehearsals – two 45-minute practice sessions a week in rotating locations where everyone learnt, memorised, and prepared for the final performance. Given these difficult circumstances, the end product that was displayed for the adjudicators was of very high quality and something that all involved should be proud of. All of the Houses performed with a sense of professionalism, and thoroughly impressed all those who watched it live or through the video that was published.

House Music

The competition itself took place on Thursday 24 February, and we welcomed the distinguished Mr Peter Bohmer, the Director of Performing Arts at Penleigh and Essendon Grammar, as one of the two adjudicators for the event, the other being our own Mr Mark Kerr, the Head of Music Curriculum and CGS Chorale. It was the first time in the competition’s history that we’ve had two different judges, and they gave much musical insight and knowledge into the nuances of singing and performing in an ensemble, and their comments provided an enlightening outlook on the performances that were given. In an unprecedented fashion, for the first time ever, House Music finished in a three-way tie for first place, with Clifford, Summons, and Steven finishing on the same number of points at the end of all the sections.

After numerous hours of hard work put in by all the students, conductors, arrangers, instrumentalists, and everyone behind the scenes, it truly was a special event that brought the whole school closer in times when we have been separated so far apart.

Freddy Branson Captain of Music

Two hundred students, gathered in the Middleton Theatre, sat waiting eagerly staring at a yellow curtain, endless creativity just waiting to pour out unto their eyes and ears. The audience just oozed excitement and anticipation. This, of course, marked the annual performance of the House Drama competition.

Each House was tasked with performing a 13-minute-long piece, each one oriented around the topic of ‘Fast Films’. This meant that each House had to perform a parody of an original, well-known movie, incorporating various cultural references, and condensing all the significant events from the film. Each House performed outstandingly, with eight unique, one-of-a-kind plays that never failed to entertain the audience: from James Bond,

House Drama Competition

to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Star Wars, Batman, Catch Me if You Can, and more.

With the long, hard hours of rehearsal, costume design, and stage technology programming evident throughout, overall, the annual House Drama Competition was overwhelmingly successful. Ultimately, Steven, Derham, Robinson, and an unexpected Summons emerged in the top four.

On the final night of performances, Robinson took the coveted first place with a well-deserved staging of Murder on the Orient Express, which was nothing less than a perfectly immersive and accurate reenactment of the Agatha Christie classic.

Main actors Ishaan Nandurkar (Year 12) and Harry Watson (Year 11) played flawlessly hilarious interpretations of Poirot and Bouc respectively. These characters, backed by inventive backdrops and great costumes, coalesced to paint a rich, mysterious atmosphere for a performance worthy of first place. Summons’ performance of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith knew no bounds when it came to making the audience laugh in creative and innovative ways. Their performance was well paced and kept the audience engaged the whole time with joke after joke. A well-deserved second place!

Steven’s interpretation of Forrest Gump was an absolute joy to watch from the first to the last second on stage. Each moment and set transition from the film was effectively communicated to the audience through a diligent effort of the stage crew and cast, and the creative use of lighting and AV, such as the memorable running scene, cultivated an entertaining performance and won them third place.

Congratulations to the other Houses as well, who all worked tirelessly on their productions. Highlights included Cooper Carbone as Frank Abagnale in Derham’s performance of Catch Me If You Can; the mistimed sound effects here and there in Schofield’s interpretation of Batman which made for some unintentionally hilarious moments; the exceptional set and lighting in Macneil’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was nothing short of iconic; Bridgland’s James Bond captivated the audience with the slow-motion gunfight and prerecorded sequence by the villain; and, finally, Clifford’s interesting interpretation of Flying High had the audience on the edge of their seats with a questionably healthy dose of controversial humour and characters.

Thank you to the adjudicators, Mr Nigel Sutton and Head of Drama, Mr Andrew Stocker, and to the casts and crews for all their efforts in crafting a spectacular House Drama Competition this year.

Bridgland

2022 – finally a year of normality at school, filled with all the events that make our school so special. There were several great achievements and memorable performances from an awesome group of students, who I’ve had the privilege of leading and forging strong relationships with over the course of the year.

Last year finished with the renowned Kangaroobie Camp for the incoming Year 9s, which tested their ability to work as a team and pushed their physical and social boundaries, setting them up for a seamless transition into white shirts. Their enthusiastic attitude carried over into 2022, as they embarked on their Senior School journey with gusto.

The year kicked off with the fiercely competitive House Music event, which was aptly led by Captain of Music Freddy Branson, and violin maestro Mathieu Ly. The students showed up, albeit reluctantly at first, to early morning and after school rehearsals, but eventually banded together with Bridgland’s strong House spirit shining through in our rendition of All Out of Love. A special congratulations to the instrumental team consisting of six exceptional musicians who produced a remarkable performance that helped lift Bridgland to equal second place. Celebrations for a successful start to Term 1 came in the form of the very popular burger lunch from Rizins, with over $700 going to support this local business, in return for some of the best burgers ever seen by man.

Next up was Athletics, with sterling track and field performances across all year levels leading Bridgland to another top-four finish, with notable contributions from Benjamin Carlisle and Benny Grayson, both on the track and in organising the teams. As the winter months rolled on and the School days became

longer, the students were tested both mentally and physically, no longer having the respite of learning from home as they had been accustomed to in the past two years.

Debating came and went in a matter of weeks, with the great efforts of our debaters going mostly unrecognised, as they spent additional hours researching, preparing, and practicing for the debates, with many Bridglandians stepping up to debate at very late notice and putting in a great shift for the good of the House. A special mention to both Owen Henderson and Alex Zhang who led their respective year levels and demonstrated strong leadership abilities.

Term 2 concluded with everyone’s favourite event of House Swimming, with our year-level teams expertly chosen by Cody Greenwood. We managed to fill all events and cover those who ended up ‘sick’ on swimming day. A big thank you to Dr Khor for stepping up to the role of Head of House in Term 2 and ensuring that Bridgland remained stable and on track for success.

The beginning of Term 3 saw the monumental efforts of Harrison Haintz and Connor Inston come together in the form of Bridgland’s House Drama production of James Bond. An entertaining ‘fast film’ saw Hugh Cran and Connor Inston portray both an Australian and British version of 007, resulting in constant laughter from the audience and an extremely enjoyable performance for the cast, stage crew, and tech crew.

Bridgland’s 2022 House charity supported the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which provides books and education for young Indigenous children in remote communities. Funds were raised through a 3v3 Basketball Tournament, going to a very worthy cause.

Another strong performance in Cross Country resulted in a second place finish, before the term culminated with an inspiring chapel service, which showcased the wide variety of personalities within all year levels of the House, and gave us all the opportunity to reflect and share an optimistic outlook for the rest of the year.

Ultimately, 2022 was an incredibly successful year for the men in light blue, with a strong sense of House spirit and culture developed within Bridgland. I would like to thank the reliable House Prefect team, the consistent support of our wonderful House tutors, and our unwavering head of House in Mr Devine for a great year of achievement and accomplishment.

Head of House Mr Roger Devine (Acting for Term 2 Dr Moses Khor)

From the first rising of the first sun in 2022, Clifford House has seen unprecedented levels of success – a testament to the strength and unity of our Clifford family. With several wins under our belt, Clifford has proven itself to be a true contender for all three major cups.

Diving fearlessly into the deep end, Clifford House plunged into House Music with fresh determination and a fire for that sweet taste of victory. Indeed, our efforts would not be in vain. With Charles Lewis leading brilliantly, making sure to pick up on every single detail (a sign of his perfectionism), and Darby Lee accompanying superbly on piano (as he has done so for many years), Clifford strived forward towards the House Music shields. It was the first experience for the new Year 9s in Senior School competition, and they were sure to make the most of it. Every single member of Clifford made sure to let their voices shine, blending together as one being, with mesmerising harmonies underlying our sorrowful yet hungry rendition of Make Them Hear You from the musical Ragtime. Not only did our choir impress, but our talented instrumentalists (Hamish Collett, Darby Lee, Justin Kwan, Howard Zhou) were ‘instrumental’ in contributing further towards our House Music victory with a melodic and emotional cover of Howl’s Moving Castle OST from Studio Ghibli. These two performances were the cornerstone pieces to our first-place finish – joint with Summons and Steven House who both also performed with similar fervour and passion. With such high-quality performances for House Music 2022, I would like to congratulate all Houses and thank everyone for making the Year 12s’ last House Music a fantastic one.

House Athletics, as is so often the case, was Clifford’s playground and this year proved no different. With such high levels of team spirit shown throughout all eight Houses, it was indeed a tough competition with the results still hanging in the balance until the final event. However, with Clifford leaving no event uncompleted, and with Mr Ruffles epitheted as Vector from Despicable Me cheering us on, we eventually managed to claw our way to the top. Our talented athletes Sebastian Beck, Connor Laird, Gregory Kerdemelidis, Ryan Humphries, and Daniel Chen put in their whole effort finessing the competition. And of course, how could we forget about the Grlj brothers, with both Ben and Sam competing with style and showing off their athletic prowess. Despite these stellar performances, it is imperative that we not neglect the excellence of all our Clifford members, whether competing or cheering on those competing, every single individual, when put together as ‘links on the Clifford chain’ makes us unstoppable. The effort put in by Clifford House allowed us another victory, adding to an incredibly successful year. Congratulations also to Schofield House, with whom we shared the top of the podium.

To further our victorious year, Clifford managed to accumulate another two victories – House Swimming and then House Chess. After two years interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, House Swimming was finally able to be renewed. The energy that was shown throughout the event was insurmountable. With the likes of star swimmers such as Gregory Kerdemelidis and Ross Sykiotis, Clifford was able to come away with the trophy, sharing it with Macneil House. Our fourth and final victory for this year was House Chess, an event that puts Camberwell Grammar’s finest chess minds to the test competing against each other. This time, Clifford House did not share a victory (finally!) but rather stood alone at the top. Congratulations to Kayson Wang, an extremely talented chess player who managed to win all his games, receiving the very first Chess Colours in Camberwell Grammar history.

Overall, 2022 has been the most successful year for Clifford in my time at the School, and possibly in its existence as a House. Of course, none of this would be able to have been achieved without the rapturous Mr Ruffles and his own team of House Tutors who have so diligently guided our young men throughout this year and undoubtedly will continue to do so. A big thank you is also in order to my team of House Prefects (Faisal Al-Sabbagh,

Clifford

Hamish Collett, Connor Laird, Charles Lewis, Kyle Scheer, Caleb Smith, Kayson Wang) as well as the many Clifford-born School Prefects (Ben Grlj, Gregory Kerdemelidis, Kerry Sun) who have all been supremely helpful and worked amazingly as a team. A final thank you to all of Clifford as a unit – none of this would have happened without any of you. Congratulations to Alexander Harris, the incoming Clifford House Captain of 2023 –a capable pair of hands to guide Clifford

Derham

After two years of lockdowns, Derham House went into the year with high spirits and prospective study goals. Kicking off with House Music, Derham House sang an arrangement of I Want it That Way by Backstreet Boys and played Pirates of the Caribbean for instrumentals. The early morning rehearsals proved difficult for the students, but nevertheless, they pushed through and all the effort culminated in a stellar performance.

House Athletics saw Derham’s athletes pulling in podium after podium, flashes of red appearing all over the tracks. With a final surge of effort in the relay races, Derham managed to pull in a respectable third-place finish.

Debating was a resounding success story for Derham, with three-year levels achieving flawless victories and the others not far behind, resulting in a first place for Derham House by a country mile. This came as the product of weeks of training, preparation, and organisation through which Derham demonstrated its resourcefulness, pulling in reserves when debaters were not available.

This year saw the inaugural season of the Annual Derham House Clash Royale Competition as part of the Derham House charity fundraising. This was a highly anticipated event and drew interest from all year levels of Senior School with more than fifty competitors taking part. I sincerely hope that this competition will live on as a legacy.

Derham House produced an outstanding performance of the classic Leonardo DiCaprio movie Catch Me If You Can for the House Drama Competition. For the short period of time they had to prepare, they performed exceedingly well and came fourth overall. Special congratulations to Cooper Carbone for organising and directing this play.

I am forever grateful to have been a part of this vibrant and positive community in my final year at Camberwell Grammar. Through my role as House Captain, I have truly witnessed the spirit and camaraderie that this House holds. My experiences here are ones that I will cherish forever and always.

2022 proved to be another year of resounding success for Macneil, in which the undeniable optimism and perseverance of the House remained steady.

Macneil’s dominance was established early in the year, as the newly inducted Year 9s experienced their first taste of Senior School vigour in an imposing rendition of Vance Joy’s Fire and the Flood. Led by Evan Chiu with flare and unwavering enthusiasm, the final product truly dazzled the other Houses as they witnessed greatness in awe and envy. Such a stellar performance was consolidated with fine work from our instrumentalists, who brought a virtuosic touch to Experience by Ludovico Einaudi.

Despite the suspenseful nature of the annual House Music Competition, the day concluded in a relatively anti-climactic fashion. For the first time in history, a three-way tie rendered Music the winner of the competition in 2022! A wave of gratitude is in order for the teachers and House Prefects who assisted in facilitating the smooth running of rehearsals.

The annual House Athletics Carnival was approached with a yearning for victory, as the yellow team sought to reinforce its widely ratified athletic superiority. Various students starred throughout the day, including Joshua Kohlman, Henry Shirrefs, and Jack Nicholson. Notably, Mitchell Graham took home the individual bronze medal for his age group as a product of his grit and sheer determination. Although just falling short of a podium

Macneil

finish, it was the overall unity and consistency adopted by the students that led to a satisfactory performance, celebrated by a rendition of our traditional ‘Yellow Submarine’.

Macneil fiercely attacked the 2022 House Swimming Competition, as the Year 12 leaders sought to make the most of their last carnival. Led by esteemed swimmers Richard Luo, Joshua Kohlman, James Kerferd, and Fin Williams, the students put their best flipper forward in order to ultimately take home the trophy!

The postponement of 2021’s House Drama Competition saw a rescheduling to June. Macneil leapt onto the stage, displaying an abundance of theatrical prowess. Directed and organised by Year 11’s Ravin Desai, Jacob Clark, and Zane Fares in conjunction with protagonists Lachlan Easton and Ethan Aw, our witty production of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off proved to be a crowd favourite. Boasting a cast of over 50 members, the production was a resounding success that satisfyingly capped off a few months of tireless organisation.

Finally, Macneil’s accolades in 2022 would be negligible without the resolute input of Vice-Captain Lachlan Wei, coupled with the ongoing support provided by the House Prefects (Evan Chiu, Ethan Aw, Zach Burnet, Simon Lewison, Charles Robertson, and Marcus Hill). Furthermore, one cannot overstate the contribution of Head of House Mr Green, who continues to provide immeasurable value as he continues his unmatched service to the School. As such, I would like to extend my gratitude to his team of Tutors, who have worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure that our students experience a balanced and enjoyable school life. As our Camberwell Grammar experience which we have been so fortunate to enjoy concludes, I congratulate the incoming House Captain Ravin Desai, a flawless leader destined to guide the House to glory in 2023.

To my fellow Macneil class of 2022, I thank you for the countless memories over the last six years. I have great confidence that you will fondly cherish your time as a member of such a community and the bond that now forever holds us together as Macneilians.

2022 has proven to be a success for the House in green as the students once again rose to the occasion and put in incredible effort across all of this year’s House competitions. We maintained respectable finishes in both the Prefects and Jarrett Cups, while simultaneously breaking fundraising records and comfortably beating our arch-rival, Macneil House.

The year began with a bang at the annual House Music Competition which saw our conductors, Ishaan Nandurkar and Isa Rose, put in a fantastic effort to get the House singing a strong rendition of Vance Joy’s Riptide. This, in combination with a classic Star Wars Medley, also led by Isa Rose, saw Robinson finish a respectable fifth place, two places off the controversial three-way tie for first place, and one place above Macneil House.

Despite our form in previous years, the athleticism of Robinson House was on full display at the Bill Stewart Athletics track, with strong performances from Ed Harper and Kensei Soegijono, positioning the House for a successful finish in fourth position.

The School’s favourite House charity event, Robinson Street Soccer, returned this year with an outstanding level of support. Across two weeks, 16 teams battled it out for the ultimate bragging rights of being ‘Street Soccer Champions’, with the tournament eventually being won by Arya Aminazad’s ‘95% possession’. A huge thank you to our referees, Will Howell and Taran Rose, as well as Tiger Diao and Jerry Lu for helping Robinson smash previous fundraising records. This year we raised over $4,500 for the charity Kids Under Cover – a fantastic effort and a true testament to the tireless work of Robinson.

RobinsonAnother huge success for Robinson was the House Drama Competition. Heading into the first House Drama since 2019 as reigning champions, it seemed to be an impossible task to retain the trophy. However, thanks in large part to our incredible actor and director Ishaan Nandurkar, as well as the notable performances of Harry Watson and Charlie Leong, Robinson’s parody of Murder on the Orient Express was able to clinch the win by just one point over Summons House in a performance that the adjudicator noted ‘would make Agatha Christie proud.’ This is a huge compliment to the organisation and skill of the cast and the tech crew.

As the year draws to a close, I can happily say Robinson House has exceeded our planned goals for this year. Our fundraising efforts have reached new heights, as has the House spirit of participation and determination. We were also able to continue our House Drama dominance, and win what Mr Sofoulis has famously named the ‘Thornton Cup’ by placing above Macneil House in the majority of this year’s competitions. This successful year must be largely attributed to the tireless work and dedication of the House Prefects, as well as our evergreen Housemaster Mr Sofoulis who makes it all happen!

I look forward to handing over my role as captain to Harry Watson, a very capable leader who will continue the Robinson legacy into 2023.

Hugo Thornton Captain of Robinson

Another year has come and gone at Schofield House, and to everyone’s benefit, we had the privilege of living without lockdowns. In not taking this for granted, Schofield’s coveted House spirit strengthened, and the participation across all students was incredible. We were also privileged with an influx of enthusiastic Year 9s, who got to learn and experience the true Schofield culture.

Beginning the year in a familiar fashion, Andrew Nguyen led our House in singing Take Me to Church by Hozier. Ray He, Steven Wang, Brendan Tse, and Richard Liu, performed in the instrumental playing Piano Trio in G Minor by Clara Schumann. For the third year in a row, Schofield was robbed of victory, however, we maintained our yearly rise coming equal 4th overall in the House singing, and we managed to earn first place in our instrumental item.

Schofield’s efforts in the House Multi-Sport Competition displayed our multitude of skills across a range of different sports. An astounding performance in Badminton and Soccer assisted in Schofield claiming first place. With immense passion and a strong belief in success, Schofield continued our triumph in House Athletics with another first-place domination. Special mentions go to Billy Swingler and Lachlan Ross, who consistently exhibited their talent and zeal throughout the day as they assisted the House in becoming victors.

With extreme determination and confidence, Schofield also achieved first place in Cross Country. Our superb runners, such as Harrison Car and Hayden Newman, continued with their renowned prowess as they came first and fourth, respectively. The annual Push-Up Challenge returned again on

Schofield

1 June as students across the School were tasked to complete 3,139 push-ups over the course of 24 days. With tutor groups transforming into gym class, Schofield came first for the number of participants (51) and also first in the School for the number of push-ups with a whopping 51,513 push-ups completed.

Schofield’s House Swimming endeavours were confronted with a number of injuries and absentees, however, this did not stop engrained resilience as we swam competitively with various people filling in for events. A huge thank you to Yanning Zhang, one of the best swimmers the School has ever had, for his vigorous efforts as he participated to the absolute maximum (literally). Schofield House has been so privileged to have him as a swimmer over the past four years.

After years of House Drama being cancelled, Schofield was finally able to perform our exhilarating, high-quality parody of Batman, with our eloquent and humorous script written by alum Connor Assauw (2021). It was one of many times when Schofieldians of all years collaborated to create a masterpiece. I’m extremely grateful for William Allsop and his magnificent directing skills as he was the mastermind behind all the choreography and made our play run smoothly.

Schofield also had the most successful charity event as the Annual Great Debate returned once again, with the controversial and entertaining topic of ‘marijuana and its legalisation in Australia’. A massive thank you to the students and teachers who debated and put incredible amounts of effort into delivering their speeches. Schofield was able to raise over $1,500 in support of the local charity HoMie, which provides aid for those experiencing homelessness.

To Mr Heyes, it brought tears to my eyes after hearing the news of you stepping down as Head of House for Schofield. It’s obvious to everyone how passionate you are about this House and one of the reasons you have been leading us for over 23 years. You are the embodiment of Schofield’s culture and will be an integral part of it forever. The bliss and joy you brought to this House is something I will cherish forever. On behalf of Schofield House, we are all so grateful for your contribution to this House and your legacy here will live on endlessly.

To Dr Mandusic, under such short notice and such little time, you have done so much for our House. The level of effort and zeal you bring to the House is something that does not go unnoticed and that we all admire from you. A big thank you for the overwhelming compassion you have shown us.

To all the Prefects, Leeshan Navaneetharaja, Liam Corr, Ethan Ensor, Ben Joy, Andrew Nguyen, Jonathan Pettolino, Lachlan Ross, Brendan Tse, and Billy Swingler. I am forever grateful for all the hard work you have put in throughout this year. I express the utmost gratitude towards you all and I couldn’t have asked for a better team surrounding me. Next year looks extremely promising for Schofield. I wish you the best and hope for success in all aspects of life and especially House events. You are in the very capable hands of your 2023 Captain Will Stamper and I’m sure he’ll carry on the unique, coveted culture of Schofield. I urge you all to participate in as much as you can and make the most of the Camberwell Grammar experience because before you know it, it will be coming to an end.

Head of House Mr Michael Heyes (Acting Dr Melanie Mandusic)

2022 has seen a great return to all the House events we have missed over the last two years due to lockdowns. I’m especially proud of all the Steven students for continuing to exemplify our House values of courage, sportsmanship, and integrity with everything we do.

I’m so grateful to have been the Captain to witness Steven take back our dominant streak of House Music victories, winning five out of the last six House Music events. This was only possible from the tremendous leadership and effort behind the scenes and the vast depth of our musicians. Ben Bosmans did an outstanding job conducting the difficult Latin piece Sanctus by

Libera, as well as our accompanist Eugene Goh whose musical wizardry kept us in tune and on beat every bar, coming first in the vocal section. Our instrumental group of Ben Bosmans, Charles Campbell-Cowan, Michael Cheung, Joshua Morgan, Michael Hare, Joshua Hui, and Eugene Goh did an amazing job to put together a great rendition of an original composition written by Eugene himself. A huge shoutout to Benjamin Price as well for his work behind the scenes organising stage arrangements.

Although coming last in Athletics, our effort and positive spirit were unmatched. It’s days like these that bring so much happiness to me as a Captain, where the House comes together as one and cheers everyone on to the finish. Astounding mentions of team spirit go to Jack Spalding for running his heart out in his Steven-coloured tutu, as well as all the other students who put their hand up for any last-minute events due to sickness and injury, even if it was out of their comfort zone.

After three years of cancellations, we were glad to perform an original parody of Forrest Gump written by Colin Jiang and Finnian Mahaffy for House Drama. A notable mention to Nathan Bosmans who did a tremendous job of being the main character, Forest. It was also so great to see so many Year 12s coming back for their final year of House Drama. A huge mention to Colin Jiang for his highest levels of effort in directing the play, organising everyone’s lines, blocking, and stage directions, as well as Finnian Mahaffy for being the head of lighting and sound.

Steven

The Steven students also had a really strong performance in House Swimming. Special mentions to Lewis Clarke, Rory Noonan, and Sam Veitch for their exceptional performances in the Year 12 division, placing Steven 1st for Year 12.

It was an honour to lead the House this year, I couldn’t have done it without our Vice Captain Michael Hare, the House Prefects, Tutors, and Dr Berg, who has done an amazing job as our new Head of House and I wish him and Steven the best in the future. And to Mr Young, your long-lasting words of courage, teamwork, and care for us students have not been forgotten, and I’m sure the ‘PMY’ chants will continue to be a big part of Steven for years to come.

I also wish the best to the Steven House Captain for next year, Joshua Hui, and his House Prefects who will no doubt lead the House by example and continue to portray what Steven House is about: participation, teamwork, and effort.

Summons

This year was one of equal parts trepidation, equal parts exuberance. A year without lockdowns, a year of anticipation –but above all, a year of incredible achievement for Summons. The spirit and fire the students showed cannot be commended enough, a sure sign of our strong future.

Kangaroobie proved a tricky introduction to Summons for our Year 9s. They quickly conquered it and its challenges – the mud run, the heat, and the hike – in a display of courage and togetherness that had us filled with excitement for the year ahead.

The baptism of fire that is the House Music Competition was the first hurdle to be faced by the entire Summons pack. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears was the vocal pick this year, a decision that proved equal parts fruitful and frustrating for the House; achieving a powerful and impressive volume was a notable accomplishment, while the never-ending struggle with properly enunciating Ts and Ds returned with a vengeance. Ultimately, Andrew Bishop’s vivacious conducting and Jarrod Leong’s passionate piano led us to a commendable 2nd place in singing. Even more impressive was our 1st place finish overall, helped by our wonderful instrumentalists; ignoring the doubts raised by nay-sayers over the final officiating, the students celebrated the new-found musical dominance Summons now holds. Thank you to Luke Nguyen for your tireless efforts in making sure rehearsals ran smoothly, and always ensuring we were at our best.

Looking to maintain our good form, the House turned its attention towards Athletics. Injuries to key sportsmen allowed others to step up and lead us toward the finish line. Thomas Cooper was the standout performer of the day, pushing himself beyond his

limits in many events. The climax came during the end of the 1500m; running down the final stretch, the entire House sprung up as one and ran with him in solidarity, emblematic of the unity shared across the House. Although results may not have gone our way, none can doubt the energy and enthusiasm on display.

Summons demonstrated its diverse talents with strong showings in Debating and Drama. Winning the Year 9/10 Debating resulted in an overall 2nd place, with our Year 11/12 teams fighting hard, despite lacking experience.

Drama proved a hidden gem. Ned Chesler and Tim Howard transformed a chaotic adaption of Revenge of the Sith and an energetic cast into the finest theatre since Cats. Drawing the most laughs and earning a well-deserved 2nd place, the most important award of the night went to Maxwell Cheshire, receiving the ‘Best Female’ award for his emphatic and impassioned portrayal of Padme Amidala.

The House also demonstrated its spirit through other events. The vaunted Gelati Day made a delightful return, remaining a popular occasion. Thanks to Isaac Lin for his patience and persistence in coordinating the event. Respect Week saw students across Summons stepping up to demonstrate the House’s pride in our diversity; shoutout to Kai Sapolu and Oliver Thompson for dedicating their afternoons to assisting with the giant Respect banner. The House Trivia competition proved popular among Tutor groups, with Mr Warne’s team ‘WarneHub’ ultimately (and deservedly) walking away with the trophy.

I thank our wonderful Tutors in Summons, and particularly our fantastic Head of House Ms Norris, for their unerring dedication

to ensuring we always had a safe place to be no matter what. I have no doubt the students will continue to thrive under their guidance and support.

Another thank you goes to Charlie Chun, Vice Captain of Summons, for all his help in managing events and leading the students. Thanks also to the great House Prefects, who approached every issue with smiles and confidence.

My absolute best wishes go to Jarrod Leong, Summons House Captain for 2023, and to all the Summoners. It’s been a joy to lead you this year, and I hope to see you all achieving magnificent things in years to come.

To the class of 2022, I will forever cherish every memory we’ve shared. You’re a fantastic group of men who I am lucky enough to call my friends. No doubt you all will have the brightest of futures ahead.

Year 3 Camp: Gundiwindi

The Year 3s all had a wonderful time on their first school camp at Gundiwindi Lodge in Wandin. The boys got to participate in a wide range of activities including taking a ride on a 150-metre Flying Fox, swinging from a 16-metre-high Giant Swing, making damper and roasting marshmallows on an open fire, playing Air Hockey and Table Tennis, bouncing high on trampolines, playing Beach Volleyball, firing arrows from a bow and holding a range of Australian animals, including a four-metre olive python. The consistent rain did not stop these eager campers who willingly made the most out of every opportunity presented to them.

GIANT SWING

My hands shake as a group of Year 3 students haul me to the top of the swing. As I stopped at the top, I couldn’t help but look down. I couldn’t believe I had said ‘I want to go all the way to the top.’ I took a breath and pulled the rope. I came away from the rope and I went down at a million miles per hour. I went so fast that I ricocheted up and banged my knee on the rope. After going on the Giant Swing, I had mixed feelings. For example, I felt happy, scared, and content.

Year 4 Camp: Coastal Forest Lodge

When we got to camp, we were so excited. After we were sorted into our groups, we started our activities. Some of us started with the beach flags activity. We had to lie down on the sand facing the shore while one of the instructors stuck about half a dozen ‘beach flags’ in the sand. One of the instructors would say ‘heads up’, then we would stick our heads up. ‘Heads down’ is when we would stick our faces in the sand and that meant that we had to get up, turn around and run as fast as we could and dive at one of the ‘beach flags’. The last person to get a flag was eliminated! Our next activity was life-saving and how to identify rips. First, we learnt how to identify and exit a rip. Around a rip, there will be no waves and the water will look a lot darker and murkier. If you do happen to be caught in one, always swim to the side.

Year 5 Camp: Candlebark Farm, Healesville

Candlebark Camp was brilliant! It was a wonderful time filled with many outdoor adventures, sightseeing the breath-taking views, and chilling out with my friends and teachers. I can’t wait for camp again. As I trundled up the mountain to get to the Super Swooper, I felt the weight of the bag I was carrying stopping me from walking peacefully. I finally reached the top of the gigantic mountain. The climb was every bit worth it once I took in the view. Distant mountains took my breath away. I could see so much

I finally clambered onto the Super Swooper, nerves were rolling around in my stomach. It was fun, peaceful, and nerveracking all at the same time.’

even though the blurry trees were far away in the distance, it was magical! It was as though I was a bird soaring through the sky looking down on life on Earth. When I finally clambered onto the Super Swooper, nerves were rolling around in my stomach. It was fun, peaceful, and nerve-racking all at the same time.

Year 6 Camp: Manyung

I was slowly wound up higher, and higher. I was petrified of heights. The wind blew in my face, rocking me as I hung there. ‘3 . . .2 . . .1!’ counted my peers, what seemed like hundreds of meters below me. I yanked the string holding me in place. For a split second I just floated there, I thought something might have gone wrong. Then, with a sudden drop, I felt like my lungs were in my mouth. The wind blistered against my frozen cheeks. Down I went. I was flying over the ocean and just when I thought I would be flung out, lost somewhere in Port Phillip Bay, the swing pulled me back in. I am so glad that I overcame my fear

of heights. That was one of the best activities, the Giant Swing. Later, we had the most delicious food. It was tender, juicy, and even crunchy. All of the meals were different and fit for kings. Our time at Camp Manyung involved Bike Riding, Archery, Crate Climbing, Leadership Challenges, Tree-top Zip-lining, and a gnarly Flying Fox through the trees. The staff comforted us when we were scared and even had a go themselves. We all made new friends and had the most amazing time.

Year 7: Kangaroobie

While the rest of Middle School were going about their usual business, the Year 7s were at Camp Kangaroobie, trekking through mud, playing in the waves at the beach, and learning how to bush dance! Camp was a fun-filled week full of bonding and life experiences that I will never forget. Spending time with different forms created many opportunities to make new friendships along the way. As the camp progressed, people from different forms began to mingle with each other and form friendships. One highlight throughout my form group was the farm tour, viewing the endless spanning fields filled with livestock. Another important highlight of the trip was the beach day as we were welcomed with mouth-watering fish and chips for lunch and had the opportunity to entertain ourselves in the cold and salty ocean with waves towering above our heads, only to crash down on us. It was quite amusing watching some of my fellow friends being drenched by the merciless ocean.

Year 8: Surf Camp, Anglesea

Forging friendships and enjoying the experience together were the highlights of Year 8 Surf Camp for myself and many others. We set off early on a warm Wednesday morning, and after a bus ride spent talking and laughing with friends, we arrived at the beach in the early afternoon. There, we participated in activities including sandcastle competitions and, after hopping into our wetsuits, we set off down to the beach. At the beach, we met instructors who taught us how to get up on our surfboards and what to do if in trouble. Then, with our surfboards by our sides, we excitedly ran into the water. Surfing was amazing, and after falling again and again, we continued to persevere and really got the hang of it. After our time at the beach, we arrived at camp for the first time, where we were welcomed with snacks to eat. After dinner, we participated in games, ranging from Cricket and Football to playing more organised activities run by the teachers. The next morning, as our last activity, we headed to the beach for the final time and learnt all about water safety, and how to perform rescues in different ways. Overall, Surf Camp was an amazing experience that helped us to bond more with our class and learn all about surfing and safety.

Year 8: Lake Eildon

During the last week of November, Year 8 students made their way to Lake Eildon for Year 8 Camp. Situated at the end of the year, the camp facilitates students’ transition from Middle School to Senior School. On camp, groups are arranged according to the School Houses, rather than by class, so that students have the opportunity to get to know their Senior School Head of House, Tutors, and Student Leaders.

While on camp, students participated in a range of fun, but challenging, activities including Bushwalking, Team Initiatives, Mountain Biking, High Ropes, and Orienteering. These opportunities allowed students to develop their navigation

skills, gain an appreciation of the natural environment, a deeper understanding of themselves, and focus on being self-reliant.

At times during the camp, many students found themselves in new and challenging situations but all students are to be commended for the way they managed themselves and supported each other throughout the camp.

Students returned to school full of stories about their time away and excitement for their transition into Senior School in 2023.

Senior School Camps

Year 9 Camps

In the last week of their school year, Year 9 students headed out to various locations across Victoria to participate in a variety of different camps. Students had a choice of eight camps: Mountain Biking in Gippsland, Cycling along the Great Southern Rail Trail, Rock Climbing at Mount Arapiles, Caving, Canyoning and Abseiling at Mount Buffalo, Sea Kayaking on the Gippsland Lakes, Canoeing on Lake Eildon, and Hiking at Wollangarra, near Glenmaggie. With so many options, group sizes were smaller, rarely extending beyond twenty-five, facilitating a greater connection between students, staff, and activity leaders.

As each group set off, there was a buzz of excitement as students discussed what they would likely encounter during

their time away. The experiences students had varied widely but, regardless of where they were, they all had opportunities to strengthen their relationships with peers, develop a connection with the natural environment, and learn about their own ability to cope in challenging and unfamiliar situations.

As buses returned to school on Friday, it was clear that each camp had been well received by teachers and students alike. Fun, challenging, tiring, frustrating, exciting, scary, and amazing were just some of the words used to describe their experiences.

Central Australia Camp

After a few false starts and much anticipation, a group of students from Years 9, 10, and 11, along with staff members, set off on a journey of discovery to the very centre of our nation. This was a geographical area unknown to most of us prior to this trip, and nothing could have prepared us for what we were about to discover about our country, ourselves, and each other. Before we left, we were encouraged to ‘Look up!’ downing our devices for the eight days and instead gaze up at that vast, expansive Northern Territory sky. And what we encountered there, and along the many kilometres of red dirt travelled, more than made up for the lack of ‘entertainment’ provided by our phones. We learnt about the history of Alice Springs, the mantle of safety dreamt by Reverend John Flynn – providing communication, health care, and spiritual nurturing to those in the outback. We saw firsthand how this is still vital for many people living in remote areas of Australia today when visiting The Flying Doctors Service and School of the Air. Many hours and kilometres led us from destination to destination – watching the endless horizon beyond. We slept under canvas under a night sky full of stars. We ate like kings, food prepared in a tiny trailer kitchen pulled behind our bus. We trekked through landscapes and canyons that words cannot describe and photos certainly don’t do justice. We paused by pools of stillness and reflection. We supported our peers when they struggled and rejoiced together with accomplishments.

One particular highlight was our visit to the Wanmarra Aboriginal Community. Here we toiled with rakes and shovels and dirt and weeds. And we saw what a difference many hands and united hearts can make. We learnt first-hand about Aboriginal culture and their interconnection with land, family, and spirituality.

Perhaps the pinnacle was our final destination – Uluru. We spent hours gazing at this iconic rock through sunrise, full afternoon sun, and sunset. And the changes each minute took our breath away and created in us all a sense of awe.

We left feeling grateful: for the people who had made the trip possible, for the lessons we had learnt, the challenges we had accomplished, for the laughter shared, and for the growth made.

Sport Report

This year marked the most successful sporting season the School has experienced, claiming five out of the 12 AGSV Premierships and finishing runners-up in three others. Badminton and Table Tennis continued their dominance, Swimming and Tennis took back-to-back Premierships, while Athletics won the 100th Championship and our first since 1980. Basketball, Hockey, and Cross Country had remarkable seasons and finished in 2nd place.

The Summer Season was again condensed into Term 1 this year; however, it was fantastic to see students participating in their chosen sports and to have parents spectating freely at matches, most notably Basketball. It was also a season of incredible success. In winning three Premierships, the School registered its 101st AGSV Premiership, being only the second school in the competition to surpass 100 AGSV Premierships.

Having only lost one player from the previous season, Firsts Tennis enjoyed another outstanding season and took backto-back Premierships. Andrew Lee brought charisma and poise as Captain and was well supported by the experience and quality of Number 1 and 2 players, Matthieu Gibert and Lachlan O’Neill. The depth of Camberwell Grammar Tennis was evident throughout the squad with all members contributing to a dominant season. Congratulations to Andrew, Matthieu, Lachlan, Ashwin Prabaharan, Lachlan Wei, Darcy Albert, Sam Keenan, the much-improved Kadell and Orlando Kuti, Joey Govenlock, Mattias Ho, and Ashanth Prabaharan. Many thanks to Teacher in Charge, Mr Manfred Pietralla, and Head Coach, Peter Owen.

Table Tennis was again recognised as an AGSV Premiership Sport this season after a change in AGSV regulations and the Firsts made it seven Premierships in a row and the School’s 20th overall. Captain, Eugene Goh guided the team with aplomb, and he spoke exceptionally following the Grand Final win. Justin Kwan and Aiden Tang played as Numbers 1 and 2 and were resolute in their performances. Joshua Hui demonstrated calmness and consistency, while the team also included Charles Lewis, Brendan Tse, Joel Cheok, and Matthew Shi. Well done to Mr Stephen Smith, Teacher in Charge, and Joe Gerada, Head Coach.

As mentioned previously, the AGSV Swimming team, led by Captains Cody Greenwood, Gregory Kerdemelidis, and Yanning Zhang, also claimed a back-to-back AGSV Premiership. On a tense evening at MSAC in late March, the consistency and depth across the team proved too great for our closest rivals. Yanning had an exceptional meet, breaking three AGSV records, while

Nathan Nai broke one. It was another special performance by all team members, ranging from Year 6 to 12. Congratulations to all squad members, as well as all the coaches, who were guided brilliantly by Mr Nic Campbell and Mr Matt Belgiovane.

For the second season in a row, Firsts Basketball came incredibly close in their quest for the School’s first AGSV Premiership, only to be thwarted again by the might of Marcellin. Head Coach, Mr Steve Blackley, and Teacher in Charge, Ms Katrina Massey, were instrumental in developing the team. Captain, Sam Veitch was a standout, and he was well supported by guards Ryder Cheesman and Harrison Taylor, as well as rebounding machine Benny Grayson. With plenty of youthful talent in the lower year levels, we will continue to be a presence across the AGSV.

In an ordinary season, having finished 3rd, the First XI Cricket team would have featured in the finals, but a reduced season meant that only a First versus Second Grand Final was played. The highlight of the season was a convincing win against eventual premiers Trinity, where Joshua Davidson and Will Stamper combined for a powerful batting partnership. Earlier in the match, Nicholas Graves tore through the Trinity batting line up, claiming 5/24 off 12 overs. Connor Laird had an exceptional season and was selected in the AGSV Cricket Representative team as the Captain. Joshua and Nicholas were also members of the AGSV team.

We had success in Orienteering with the squad winning the Roger Slade and Gordon Wilson Memorial Trophy for the Orienteering Victoria Eastern Schools Park Street Summer Competition, while our Firsts Squash team shared the Premiership with Trinity in the Division 2 Schools Competition. Firsts Volleyball had a hard-fought season and narrowly missed out on a top-four finish. Notable performances also came from our Cycling, Kayaking, and Triathlon squads. Logan Taplin was the standout on the bike and represented the State at the National Track Championships, performing admirably and medalling in the Maddison event. In Kayaking, Campbell Rowland gained selection in the State team and competed at the National Sprint Championships in May.

For the first time since 2019, students were able to enjoy participating in complete Winter and Spring Seasons. The seasons saw both individual and team success and, more importantly, a return of togetherness and community, as highlighted by the tremendous support at the Grand Final of our First XI Hockey team, and we enjoyed Season Launches and Presentation Evenings to celebrate seasons.

Congratulations to our First IV Badminton team for winning the AGSV Premiership. Led by Captain Jordan Yang, the young squad went through the season undefeated and beat Yarra Valley Grammar convincingly in the Grand Final. The team was well led by Head Coach, Mr Nick Ong, and Teacher in Charge, Mr Tap-Long Duong. A popular sport in the School, teams across most Divisions experienced great success, which should assist in maintaining our dominance in the AGSV for future seasons.

The Cross Country squad completed their most successful season in many years, finishing in 2nd place. Highlights throughout the season included a Round 5 win, knocking off perennial champions Marcellin for the first time in a very long time, and four individual year-level medallists: Gold and Silver for Harvey Williams and James Alex respectively, as well as Gold to Joshua Carlin and Harrison Car. With the influence of Mr Craig Mottram and his team of talented coaches, Teacher in Charge, Mr Mark Collins is confident the squad will be able to perform strongly again next season.

Our Hockey teams performed consistently, particularly the 7/8A team who went through the season without losing a match, while the First XI only lost one. Heartbreakingly, it was the Grand Final; however, the team were outstanding throughout the season. Firsts Coach, Mr Jamie Watson, and Head of Hockey, Stuart Webster, were instrumental in guiding students on and off the field. This year saw a number of Year 12s play their final season for the School after decorated school careers. Brodie Carswell will be missed in the goalie net, Liam Corr in defence, Ed Harper’s run through the midfield, and Nicolaas Bray’s skills up forward.

First XVIII Football Coach, Rayden Tallis, inspired his team to their highest ladder position in many years after winning two of their matches against Yarra Valley Grammar and Peninsula Grammar, and remaining competitive across many others. Along with the First XVIII, the program and the students in it are developing positively, including an enthusiastic and skilled group of Year 9 and 10 students. The Inter B team enjoyed an undefeated season.

The season was predicted to be challenging for the First XI Soccer team. A team of varying experience and age, they performed valiantly to record two wins and finish in 7th place. Gregory Kerdemelidis enjoyed a consistent and much improved season under the guidance of Head Coach, Mr Anthony Frost and Head of Soccer, Mr Andreas Papanicolaou. Another sport

with talent oozing in younger year levels, there is excitement for future seasons following the development of styles of play and individual growth. Special mention must go to the Inter A team and their Coach, Mr Nathan Jones, for their impressive season.

Participating in the Melbourne Winter Baseball League, our four teams across Under 13, 15, and 17 enjoyed a fruitful season. Three teams made the finals, while the Under 17s, led by Taran Rose were victorious in winning their Grand Final. Our Fencing squad also enjoyed success in individual and team events. Sean Xu performed particularly well, winning the Fencing Victoria Schools’ League Senior Secondary title.

After a substantial preseason and a long hiatus from accessing the slopes, the Snowsports squad enjoyed competing in the Victorian Interschools Snowsport Championships at Mount Buller in August. Participants ranging from Year 2 to Year 12 competed in a host of Skiing and Snowboarding events. Alec McDougall was gallant in his performance in the Cross Country, but it was Arya Aminazad who set the standard for all squad members. He was exceptional and earned himself a position at the National Interschools Championships. Teacher in Charge, Mr Ryan Thomson, and Strength and Conditioning Coach, Mr Adam Earnshaw, played significant roles in organising and coaching students. Thanks must also go to the parents and Friends of Snowsports for their unwavering support and commitment to the students and the program.

As mentioned previously, not since 2019 had the Spring Sports been held, meaning it was the first opportunity for students from Year 7 to 9 to experience Athletics and Water Polo at the School. After five weeks of intense training sessions and trials, the Athletics squad participated in the Centenary Event of the AGSV Finals. The special event was held on a Saturday at Lakeside Stadium and the team did incredibly well, winning the School’s first AGSV Athletics Premiership since 1980. A fitting result given we won the very first event in 1920. Standout performers included the 3000m team, comprising of Harrison Car, Jack Dobbyn, and Henry Shirrefs, Shen Rong’s performances in the long and triple jump, and Henson Chen’s all-round performances on the track and field. However, it was the depth of the team that contributed to the win, as we edged out Ivanhoe by five points!

Our Water Polo teams also had encouraging seasons. We fielded two teams each at Junior (Year 7/8), Intermediate (Year 9/10), and Seniors (Year 11/12). The Firsts finished runners-up to a

formidable Melbourne High School team, while our Inter A team defeated Melbourne in their Grand Final, 5 goals to 3. Gregory Kerdemelidis and Charlie Chun both represented

Congratulations to all students on a fantastic year of Sport at Camberwell. Thank you to our Year 12 students for your contributions to Sport throughout your time at the School. We wish you every success in your future sporting endeavours and careers.

The Sport Department would like to recognise the efforts of all Friends of Groups who continued to contribute towards and enhance the experience of the students within their respective sports. Thank you for the time and effort you give our programs.

A host of people help to create a memorable experience for everyone involved, particularly the students. Thank you to the staff and coaches who guide our students and, more importantly, shape them into exceptional young people. The team within the Sport Department, in particular, do a tremendous amount of work to make Sport happen each week. Thank you to Mrs Sally White, Miss Amani Hanna, and Mr Connor Mara for your unwavering support.

Mr Lachlan Crawford Head of Sport

The Sports Academy is now in its fifth year of operation at Camberwell Grammar, catering for Year 1s through to Year 12s in 14 different sports with over 350 coaching sessions provided weekly for the entire calendar year. The Academy caters to all abilities and has Personalised Coaching Sessions (PCP) in which the students have an individual or group coaching session. The Academy also has an Emerging Athlete Pathway (EAP) that services the talented and aspiring athletes within the School with a range of services and support networks.

The Personalised Coaching Program is organised before, during, and after school across a range of wonderful new sporting facilities, including the underground synthetic play surface in the car park. The program has also just initiated the use of iPads to provide better feedback and assessment of the students which accurately gauges their strengths and weaknesses in their chosen sport.

The Emerging Athlete Pathway is now home to over 50 students in the School, ranging from Years 7 through to 12 and from a vast array of sports and sporting backgrounds. Recent initiatives in this program include the inaugural launch at Camberwell Grammar’s new Tennis Centre at Leason Street in Kew East,

Sports Academy

the inaugural EAP Awards night dinner, EAP smoothie bar, EAP recycling sports equipment program, and Lunch with the Stars, including Old Camberwell Grammarians Johan Durst (2008), Blake Collyer (2014), and Dan Houston (2015).

In 2023 the Sports Academy hopes to strengthen our athlete management system, booking and invoicing systems, links to Deakin University, EAP term news, and the annual EAP Sports Centre Games. The Games hope to raise funds for local Indigenous and disadvantaged communities and their access to sports uniforms, equipment, and fees associated with playing sport.

The Sports Academy, in conjunction with the new Sports Centre, has allowed sport at Camberwell Grammar to flourish and to allow students to develop their skills in a safe and positive environment. The expert coaching and support the students can now access puts Camberwell Grammar at the forefront of educational sport and the junior sports landscape.

Strength and Conditioning

Camberwell

athletes welcomed 2022 with new-found levels of dedication and application to their Strength and Conditioning (S&C) training. Two years of Covid-19 lockdown frustration triggered many students to prioritise their health and fitness, evident in participation numbers across all S&C programs hitting record numbers in 2022. All students must be commended for their diligence and work ethic across all S&C programs, whether in the Physical Education curriculum, 1st Squad High Performance, or in our open weights room access times.

It has been incredibly refreshing to see a large group of new student faces in S&C sessions throughout 2022. These students have shown that you don’t need a pre-existing level of fitness, coordination, or knowledge to engage in strength and fitness work. Long gone are the days when S&C is reserved for ‘sporty kids’. Instead, students have shown that physical activity is imperative to lifelong health and wellbeing, whilst aiding in athletic, academic, and mental performance.

A big congratulations to all students involved in our five Sport Premierships across 2022 (Tennis, Swimming, Table Tennis, Badminton, and Athletics). The year was sensationally capped off with the Camberwell Grammar Athletics squad taking out the 100th AGSV Athletics Championships. Camberwell Grammar became the first school since 2002 to win the AGSV Swimming and Athletics double in the same year. We hope S&C can continue to support the success of Camberwell Grammar Sport by creating a strong culture around athlete application, professionalism, and preparation.

We wish our Year 12 graduates all the best as they transition from school to the next stage of their lives. We hope their S&C experience provides them with the tools and knowledge to continuously prioritise physical activity throughout their adulthood. Whether it be lifting weights in a gym, playing a recreational sport, or completing resistance movements at home, the importance of regular physical movement has never been so vital.

We look forward to growing the S&C program further in 2023, with more weights room access times, further work with our sports teams at training and on game days, and ongoing development across the Sports Academy and wellbeing programs.

A big thanks to Mr Adam Earnshaw and the whole S&C team for their ongoing support in 2022 to our students and dedication to the program.

Archery

2022 saw Archery being more popular and professional than ever. Students from across all year levels displayed their enthusiasm and urgency to get back to the range to test and develop their abilities. We were pleased to welcome new students joining Archery this year, wanting to have a go at picking up a bow and arrow and testing their ability to shoot. I have high hopes that they will continue to participate in and enjoy the sport. We were glad to have no interruptions in any of our sessions so that they could use the time to practise their shooting. I am stunned that, despite the many setbacks and difficulties in the last two years, the passion for Archery and the desire to do more have never left.

Similar to last year, the squad was divided into two groups –Years 7 to 9 and Years 10 to 12 – with both groups attending training on Saturday mornings. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to hold any competitions for our bowmen to find out their true potential. I was humbled and honoured to serve as this year’s Captain of Archery and serve alongside my other bowmen. The students displayed a vast improvement in their consistency in shooting the targets.

I would like to give a warm thank you to our new assistant supervising teacher, Ms Pansy Pang, particularly for her passion to learn alongside the students. I would also like to thank Mr Daniel for his dedication to our safety and wellbeing. Finally, I would like to thank my right-hand man Matheus Wolters for successfully fulfilling his role as Vice Captain of Archery. He was always there to provide a helping hand and assist in maintaining discipline.

Every time our archers stepped onto the field, they had their trusty bow and arrows beside them, respected their equipment, and encouraged and supported each other. That is what makes Archery a great sport. I congratulate and encourage the bowmen to continue with a sport that has earned a legacy as one of the most desirable and fun sports at Camberwell Grammar School.

Marcus Katsoulotos Captain

I would like to extend my thanks to Marcus Katsoulotos for the diligent manner in which he fulfilled his role as Captain of Archery.

Athletics

2022 saw the return of the AGSV Athletics season after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19 restrictions. Excitingly, it also presented the AGSV with an opportunity to showcase Athletics with a Centenary event, celebrating the 100th running of the Athletics Carnival. In 1920, Camberwell Grammar took out the inaugural event of the then AGSV, defeating Caufield Grammar amongst other Independent schools of the day.

A four-week training and trials program was well attended by a large number of Camberwell Grammar athletes, all keen to take advantage of track and field opportunities. It was exciting to see the rapid improvement of many athletes, indeed this was crucial in many of the technical events such as High Jump and the relays.

Heading to the day of the finals at Lakeside Stadium, on Saturday 3 September, the team was buoyed by strong performances in the Elimination events but also aware of many strong athletes from other schools that had been seen at the trial events.

In Under 13, Henson Chen was the star of the day, surprising everyone (including the commentators) with a late surge to win his 800m event in an emphatic fashion. Henson then backed

up to win bronze in the 100m and 400m, before anchoring his U13 4x100m team to a crucial silver medal in the relay. He was deservedly named the best Camberwell Grammar U13 athlete on the day. Jayden Weng ran well in his 200m event to collect bronze, whilst Samuel Page jumped an impressive 1.40m in his High Jump.

In Under 14, Joshua Tallis and Harvey Williams were outstanding. Joshua was exceptionally strong in the last 50m of both his 200m and 400m events, winning both in convincing fashion. Harvey was narrowly beaten in the 800m but bounced back to win the 1500m, where he teamed with Ben Nation to win the bronze medal in the team event. Joel Stambanis continued Camberwell Grammar’s exciting day at the High Jump, winning bronze with a jump of 1.45m.

The Under 15 group were the most successful, collecting medals in 10 of the 12 events: 7 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze. Joshua Carlin (distance), Kensei Soegijono (sprints) and Shen Rong (jumps/sprints) were outstanding, as was newcomer Henry Segal, whose blistering 400m race was arguably the performance of the day.

SPORT

In Under 16, Zac Matters toiled hard all day in his four individual events and was rewarded with bronze in his 100m hurdles. Jack Zhang collected bronze in his 100m and teamed with Mitchell Graham, Simon Gao, and Victor Shao to win silver in the 4x100m relay. The newly formed combination of Daniel Chen and Will Aldred worked beautifully together to win gold in their 1500m team event.

In Under 17, Sebastian Beck was outstanding, convincingly winning his 100m and 200m and anchoring the relay team of Harry Clarke, Lachlan Lewis, and Ewan Lewis to silver in their 4x100m event. Joshua Blew was part of the successful open 4x400m team and then fought hard in his individual 400m and 800m races. Finally, Harrison Car shouldered a heavy day of competition, winning bronze in his 3000m individual events (against a field of 27, majoritarily, Year 11 and 12 runners), anchored the Open 4x800m team to silver, and also collected bronze in his U17 1500m event.

In the Open category, the 4x400 m relay consisting of Benny Grayson (Captain), Lachlan Ross (Vice Captain), Benjamin Carlisle, and Joshua Blew opened the day’s proceedings, finishing a strong second.

Caleb Finlayson fought valiantly in his individual events, securing bronze in his 110m hurdles and narrowly missing a medal in the 100m sprint. Jack Dobbyn and Henry Shirrefs teamed with Harrison Car to win the 3000m team event and Ed Harper was an agonising 0.01s from earning bronze in the individual 800m, but bounced back to team with Hayden Newman, Harrison Car, and Joshua Carlin to clinch bronze in the 4x800m. Akalanka Gunawardana concluded a decorated Camberwell Grammar Athletics career with silver in the Triple Jump, and Charles Robertson’s equal 3rd in High Jump earned crucial further points.

Finally, it came down to the Open 4x100m event, the last event of the carnival. After earning silver in the 400m and teaming with Lachlan Ross and Benjamin Carlise in the 4x400m squad, Captain Benny Grayson found himself on the starting line with junior Athletics teammates Caleb Finlayson, Lachlan Ross, and Hugo Akse. Fittingly, the quartet held on for silver, earning 8 points and allowing Camberwell Grammar to leap ahead of Ivanhoe to secure the Premiership. After winning the first, Camberwell Grammar had won the 100th.

Congratulations to all those involved: Mr Craig Mottram and his coaching staff, the Camberwell Grammar Sport Department, Mr Paul Young, Mr Ian Wilmoth, and Mr Roger Devine, parents, and all those in the squad – finals’ team members, reserves, and those who participated in training and trials. We can’t wait to see you back in 2023.

Mr David Rayner Deputy Head of Senior School

First IV Badminton

After two years without a full season, it was great to be able to finally play out the full Premiership this year. Following the graduation of two of Camberwell Grammar’s stalwarts in Captain Otto Zhao and William Nguyen, First IV Badminton fielded a newlooking team with Jordan Yang stepping into the captaincy role and Chauncey Yu, filling the vice-captaincy. Looking to continue our dominance in Badminton, Camberwell Grammar needed to look for younger talent with the continued rise of Owen Lim and Edward Lam and the emergence of Meno Chu. The squad was also well supported by Ethan Ong and Alex Zhang, who filled in when players were unavailable. With a squad full of energetic and skillful players, Camberwell Grammar was ready to dominate

Badminton

the ladder. We opened our first few matches confidently, earning 1st spot on the ladder. The team maintained this throughout the season and, despite losing the odd rubber, never lost a tie and finished the regular season on top to go into the grand final playoff.

The challenger was not decided until after the final regular season round was played out. Yarra Valley and Trinity played out a shock upset, allowing both schools to finish on the same number of wins, but with Yarra Valley prevailing on games countback. So once again, Camberwell Grammar faced Yarra Valley in the final. Nothing would go smoothly though with both Captain Jordan and Owen ill during the holidays, and subsequently unable to play in the final regular season round. However, both recovered in time to return for the final. With Jordan and Chauncey coming up against highly-rated players from Yarra Valley, neither had an easy match but both managed to give Camberwell Grammar the dream start in the final. Owen and Edward then followed this up with commanding victories in their respective singles to clinch the tie. The doubles were played out as well with both pairs winning, giving us a clean sweep 6-0, and securing the AGSV trophy for yet another year.

With a squad of talented young players, Camberwell Grammar is in good hands for many years to come.

Jordan

Division 2 Badminton

Division 2 Blue and Gold teams had an extremely consistent performance throughout the whole season. Both teams had a similar run, as they did not drop a single round against their competition. Even though there were times where the players were challenged, and it seemed as if they were about to lose, they all persisted and pushed through adversity to victory. Team Mitre tried their best but suffered several losses against opposing schools. They did, however, try their hardest to improve on their skill sets.

Yang Captain

‘The doubles were played out as well with both pairs winning, giving us a clean sweep 6-0, and securing the AGSV trophy for yet another year.’

A special mention in team Blue goes to Timothy Yap. Timothy did not drop a single game throughout the season and showed significant improvement. Even though there were some difficult times throughout the season, Timothy had quite a flawless season. For team Gold, Marcus Lim was a standout. Even though Marcus was not the strongest player within the team, his attitude shone through. Every session, Marcus would come over to the coaches and ask for feedback, things he should improve on and further advice. In team Mitre, an honourable mention goes to Wonlee Kua. Wonlee had the best overall performance and a positive attitude. Despite suffering injury throughout the season, which forced him to skip a few weeks, the moment Wonlee recovered he returned to form.

Overall, every team did extremely well and showed great persistence.

James Guo Coach

Division 3 Badminton

The Division 3 Blue Badminton team had an extremely successful and exciting season. Everyone in the team worked hard to do their best whenever they played, always showing up to training and games on Saturday. Throughout the season, the team always gave their best, and this paid off with almost all, if not all, our games won. Overall, the team showed great commitment and also great improvement throughout the season.

The Divison 3 Badminton Gold team had an outstanding season, achieving amazing results from all members. The team consistently gave their all on the courts, yielding great games, and have improved their skills throughout the season. They showed great sportsmanship and resilience on the courts and should all be proud of their achievements.

The Division 3 Mitre Badminton team had a strong and successful season. They came out victorious in almost every game attended, thanks to their strong teamwork and hard work during training. All of the players put in their best effort every game.

The Division 3 Crest Badminton team had a strong season this year. Every team member showed commitment to the sport whether it be giving it their best during training sessions, volunteering to umpire, or even staying behind after their own matches to encourage their teammates on the side. As a result, they brought fierce competition to the opposing schools.

A special thanks to Maya, who coached the teams and made this wonderful season possible.

Division 4 Badminton

The 2022 season was the first time in two years that we had no interruptions of training and games. All the students trained very hard under the instructions of coaches and made good progress in their skills. Three students were promoted to Division 3.

We played every Saturday at school against Yarra Valley and students from all 13 teams demonstrated enthusiasm and sportsmanship in their games. They not only improved their Badminton skills but formed lifelong friendships with each other.

Mr Wei Ha Teacher in Charge

Year 7/8 Badminton

The 2022 Badminton season was a great success – everyone learned new skills and improved their performance, but more than that the whole team had a great time playing against Trinity, PEGS, and Yarra Valley. It was so nice to be meeting new players and competing regularly again post Covid-19. We wish to thank our awesome coaches for teaching us, and for Miss Jennifer Turnnidge for managing the eight teams.

We look forward to playing Badminton for the School again in the 2023 season.

With four Camberwell Grammar teams playing in the MWBL competition, the 2022 Baseball season has been the School’s most successful season yet. With cold sunrises, long drives, and boggy fields, the early morning starts of winter Baseball to far-flung corners of Victoria have always been challenging. However, the weather and distances did not dampen our enthusiasm to play ball.

The U13 team had a very competitive, amazing Winter Season with many first-time Baseball players. They persevered throughout the year and managed to secure a finals berth, finishing in 4th place. With five wins under their belt, the team was confident moving on but were, however, knocked out of the finals in the first round. The U13 team showed lots of promise and talent with the students eager to play and learn the game. We cannot wait to see these young players evolve and grow with the sport at school and beyond.

While Camberwell Grammar U15 Gold missed out on a finals berth this year, they had an awesome year, scoring 93 runs in the season and gaining valuable experience in learning the intricacies of the game.

Camberwell Grammar U15 Blue played a great season, finishing in 4th place and making the playoffs. Although this team consisted mostly of first-time players, the joy of playing and team determination saw them qualify for the playoffs, where they were unfortunately eliminated in the first round.

Baseball

The U17 First IX team has had the most successful season to date since the Baseball program began in 2016. Finishing in third place after a tough season without a head coach, the players were eager and ready for the finals. We had to play three games to win the championship. After winning the first two rounds of finals, Camberwell Grammar secured a spot in the Premiership game against Werribee Baseball Club. We emerged victorious 4-3 in what was a thrilling match of ups and downs, making the First IX Baseball team the U17 Div2 Premiers for the 2022 Winter Season.

Overall, the 2022 Baseball season has achieved the best result in the history of the School’s Baseball so far, with three out of the four teams making finals, a record since the introduction of the sport in 2016. The season ended on a wonderful note with a successful NBBC - Camberwell Grammar Junior presentation evening in the Camberwell Room.

Being a part of Baseball and watching the sport continue to grow at our school is amazing. Thank you to North Balwyn Baseball Club for facilitating every aspect of Baseball at Camberwell Grammar, from training, coaching, and running us as a team in the MWBL. Thank you to the School staff and the Friends of Baseball who work to make our Baseball community stronger. Well done and thank you to all the students who chose to play Baseball in 2022. You all made the season awesome. Bring on 2023!

Taran Rose Captain of Baseball

First V Basketball

The First V Basketball made history again this season with Camberwell’s most successful season ever. The team finished second, losing to Marcellin in the Grand Final for the second year in a row. The team worked incredibly hard, and it showed through our results. However, all of it wouldn’t have been possible without the coaching of Ms Katrina Massey and Mr Stephen Blackley. I would also like to thank Mr Lachlan Crawford and the Sport Department for their help throughout the season, as well as all the students and parents who came to support us.

Over the course of the year, we became closer as a team, and I have made some friendships that I know will last for a long time. What made us so successful is that we were consistent with talent across the team. However, a special mention goes to Joshua Kohlman, who was our Vice Captain and was able to knock down several long-range shots, and Luke Fennell and Benny Grayson who stayed consistent the whole season and were able to put up huge numbers. Ryder Cheesman and Harrison Taylor also made great impacts on the team. Camberwell’s Basketball future is looking very promising with many up-and-comers ready to take over the reins in players such as Daniel Bullock, Jarvis Neal, Harry Clarke, and Charles Webb. Finally, this season will be one I will remember for the rest of my life, and I couldn’t have played with a better bunch of students.

Sam Veitch Captain

‘What made us so successful is that we were consistent with talent across the team.’

Second Basketball

After starting the season with an unfortunate buzzer-beater loss in game 1 to Marcellin, as well as a hard-fought 5-point loss to Trinity, the Camberwell Second Blue team finally began to find success going into Round 3. Against Yarra Valley, the team managed to pull away with a 9-point victory, led by great offensive performances by Caleb Finlayson, Anupa Jayasuriya, and Sam Woods. Building on the first victory, an exceptional scoring performance from Anupa, with 26 points, as well as excellent defence from Jerry Lu and Michael Alexander, saw a shorthanded four-player Camberwell reach a 54-30 victory over Assumption. Unfortunately, Camberwell was unable to close out the season with a victory, losing to PEGS in a game where by Lewis Clarke and Caleb were outrebounded by the taller PEGS team.

Meanwhile, the Second Gold team had a season where hard work wasn’t rewarded with wins. They had a few close games to start the season against PEGS and Yarra Valley that were decided within the last few minutes of play. In both games, Camberwell held the lead for the majority of the first half but was unable to finish out the games. Key performances throughout the season included Aydan Yim, who top-scored in most games, and Rhys Lee who displayed his impressive skills. Overall, despite the lack of wins for the season, the Second Gold team provided promise with a few students proving their worth for selection in the First V squad later in the year.

Third Basketball

The Third Blue team had another dominating season. The players looked to finish their basketball careers on a high with three straight undefeated seasons. We finished the season off with a scare, beating Yarra Valley by just four points. Ben Joy was the standout player for the game and played well the whole season, resulting in him taking home the MVP. Kai Charalambous and Charlie Chun held down the defence, gaining numerous blocks and steals. Oliver Thompson was able to score with ease, dropping multiple points in multiple games. Jonathan Le and Oliver Steinberg hit clutch shots, helping the team hold onto many leads in games. Harley Inglis was elite in the passing category, racking up multiple assists, and Liam Corr was fantastic, hitting shots from anywhere on the court. It was another fantastic season by the team and I hope they have enjoyed their Basketball careers.

The Third Gold team had a successful season, although the results didn’t show, and the team played well even with the disruption to the season preparation last year. The team had a nice spread of skills and used them well. We could always count on Max Vago getting to the ring no matter who stood in front of him. Alex Dai showed his best ‘Steph Curry’ impression every game, hitting deep shots, and Albert Guan hit his technical fadeaways whenever he got in the paint. Our offence was strong with Angus McNeill’s good hustle, helping progress the ball and getting hard-fought steals on defence. Oftentimes we would get important second chances with Hayden Bourke and Charles Mills working hard beneath the rim.

In the second match of the season, the Fourth Gold team fought back with grit and determination from a 20-point deficit at halftime, to lose by just 3 points to Peninsula Grammar as a result of a lucky 3-pointer to the opposition. A valiant effort indeed! In their penultimate match, the team’s training and skills came together and they took the lead early against PEGS. From a 4-point advantage at half-time, the Gold team continued to dominate and, thanks to Fletcher von Arx’s skillful scoring and effective defensive play by all, they consolidated their lead and took the win! Congratulations to MVP Fletcher von Arx and Calum Sandie, the Coach’s Award recipient.

For the Mitre team, they initially let the second game get away from them but they regrouped at half-time and came back to outscore the opposition in the second half. Whilst not resulting in a win overall, they worked together as a team and gave their all on the day. In a hard-fought battle against Mentone Grammar, and short-on players, the team demonstrated great team plays (both offensive and defensive) which, while unable to secure a win, definitely highlighted Mitre’s progress throughout the season. Kevin Chen received the MVP Award and Tom Guo the Coach’s Award.

Fourth Basketball

The Fourth Basketball teams, consisting of Gold, Blue, Mitre, Crests and Bears, had a mixed season.

The Fourth Blue team saw a competitive second match of the season against Mentone Grammar – a highly competitive and evenly matched game in which the Blues looked headed for the win but ultimately lost by 1 point right on the buzzer – such an exciting match! The final match of the season saw all Blue teammates working together and contributing to the scoring, resulting in a convincing defeat of Ivanhoe Grammar. Special mention to MVP, Wyatt Brennan and Coach’s Award winner Max Farmer.

The Fourth Crest team had a great season overall, with everyone putting in hard work every week. During our opening game at PEGS, Oscar Smith took over the game and led the team to a convincing win, setting the tone for the rest of the season. The following week, when playing against their peers in Fourth Bears, the team once again showed how well they could play. In this game, Rick Kovos led the scoring with 4 three-pointers, and Jimmy Devine was a defensive powerhouse. There were some tight contests in the remaining rounds, and no matter the scoreboard, everyone on the team continued to put in the effort and have fun at the same time! Thanks so much for the season Ms Norris, and special mention to Coach’s Award winner James Dixon and MVP Oscar Smith.

Finally, the Fourth Bear team had some awesome shooting against Mentone from Charlie Reid-Pettett who couldn’t miss a shot. When playing against the other Fourth teams, Hayden Newman stood out in the second half. Congratulations to Coach’s Award recipient Thomas Yang, and MVP Leeshan Navaneetharaja.

Year 10 Basketball

The 10As were fighting an uphill battle this season, with key players away due to commitments with the Firsts and injuries holding us back, but the players held strong and played hard every week. Team attitude was always high, and training sessions were enjoyable. A key highlight, despite being a loss, was our game against Ivanhoe. With only five players against a team with many substitutes, the 10As played extremely well for the whole game only to lose by 1 point in the closing minutes. This showed their ability to adapt to new conditions and their perseverance through fatigue, which are skills any good player needs.

The 10B Basketball team was very well poised and a hardworking group of players. Having started the season off slow, the team picked up their pace and hit the ground running, winning some of their 7 games. Working hard in practice and improving their game, the team built great chemistry and communication because of their time and effort. Solid individual performances all season round, with Jamison Smith winning the MVP award, and Savith Jayasuriya taking home the Coach’s Award for his dedication and leadership.

The 10C Gold team played a well-fought game against an experienced Mentone. The team played a good brand of Basketball with plenty of promise for the rest of the season. With little bursts of great team play from the likes of Lachlan Young and Tobias Phillips, the team was able to score some needed points, whilst Justin Liu played a vital role in defence.

After a rather rough start to the season, the 10C Crest team pulled away in the second half of the game against Mentone, with a very consistent effort from Max Pringle. Towards the end of the match, JP Ma shot a nice three-pointer that banked in, adding to Camberwell’s lead, and giving the players a great start to the season.

Year 9 Basketball

The 9A and 9B Basketball teams made an impressive start to the season with every team member turning up on the very first day back at Camberwell Grammar for training. Clearly, these students were keen! Their coaches, Michael Tilly (9A) and Jack Amling (9B), ensured training sessions were fast-paced and purposeful, and terrific attendance was sustained for the season. While this didn’t always equate to success in their games, what impressed me most about these teams was their support of one another and their efforts to play as a team. There are always stand-out players and for this year, the Coaches’ Awards went to Mitchell Graham (9A) and Matthew Barrett (9B). But in terms of determination, effort, and attitude, each student was deserving of recognition. Well done and thanks for a terrific season!

The 9C Basketball teams had a very successful season. The season started off full of enthusiasm and team spirit. After two years of lockdowns, the players were very enthusiastic and looked forward to their training session each week as well as their games on the weekend. Throughout the season, all players worked extremely well together and improved in all aspects of the game. They tackled each game with a high level of sportsmanship as well as a deep desire to win. All 9C teams had some exciting wins and some disappointing losses but they all played with determination and passion. They were supportive of one another and passed the ball around so that everyone had a chance to play. On behalf of the 9C teams, I would like to thank our coaches who did an amazing job, and to all the parents who came and supported the players.

Year 8 Basketball

The 8As got to taste a half-season of ups and downs in summer 2022. We were quick out the blocks, 2-0 record after a clean-up against Assumption and a narrow hard-fought victory over PEGS. Both games allowed us to tune our offensive and defensive identities, honing in on the strengths that gained us our wins. Unfortunately, some defeats against Peninsula and Ivanhoe followed. Rounding out the season with a 2-3 record, Marcellin showed us superiority in all aspects, leaving our players much to be desired and improved upon for seasons to come. Momentum and emotion lorded this season, leading us to our record rather than a possible 4-1. However, with maturity and commitment, our players can look forward to success and quality in the years ahead. Congratulations to Jarvis Neal and Daniel Bullock for featuring with the Firsts this season. Best of luck for grasping the many opportunities that lie ahead for all 8A.

Although the Summer Sport season was cut in half by Covid-19, the 8B team did not fail to capitalise on the games that remained. Each week was a hard-fought contest, including a draw against Ivanhoe, with Chester Tymms nailing a clutch layup in the final minute of the game to bring us back to level. Aside from a forgettable scrappy match against Marcellin, every game was close until the final siren, a testament to the team’s ability to continue to fight to keep themselves in the contest. The 8B team refused to give up and showed great resilience week in and week out, regardless of the opposition.

8C Blue demonstrated commitment and strong teamwork skills as they trained hard and worked with each other to improve over the season. Congratulations to Toby Miller and William Nethercote for receiving the Coach’s Award and Most Valuable Player Award respectively. The 8C Gold team proved to be a strong opponent all season with competitive performances at their matches and impressive technical skills. Well done to Lele Guo and Kevin Ch’ng for receiving the Coach’s Award and Most Valuable Player Award respectively. The 8C Mitre team trained and played with positive attitudes and developed their skills throughout the season. Congratulations to Richie Yang and Ryan Huang for receiving the Coach’s Award and Most Valuable Player Award respectively. 8C Crest was enthusiastic at training and worked each week to improve their teamwork skills to dominate in matches. Well done to Orlando Rofe and William Maclean for receiving the Coach’s Award and Most Valuable Player Award respectively.

Year 7 Basketball

The 7A and 7B Basketball teams had a great season, both teams winning all four of their games. A highlight for the 7A team was the match against Trinity, where we came from behind to win by 1 point, Chandler Siegle (awarded Most Valuable player for the 7A team) came on in the last five minutes and scored 9 points, despite having an injured wrist. Great teamwork and strong improvement through some excellent coaching from Flynn Chable and Lian Thomas were key factors in an impressive season.

The 7C Basketball teams started the season confidently with wins for all four teams, with a close game between 7C Crest and PEGS, which Camberwell won by one point. Only 7C Gold was able to follow up with a victory in the second round, with a nail-biting finish for the 7C Blue team, being defeated by Trinity by a single shot. All four teams dug deep and won convincingly in Round 4, thanks to the encouragement of coaches Ty Beechey, Luke Doblin, Ben Wardlaw, and Sam Rendell. The final round saw some tough opposition in Mentone and Ivanhoe, with 7C Blue completing the season with another win, and 7C Mitre putting in a strong fight, but ultimately relinquishing the lead in the final moments. Congratulations to all 7C basketballers for their hard work and dedication to their teams for the season.

First XI Cricket

It was a very successful season for the First XI Cricket team, finishing 5-3 from our eight games. Hoping that the season would be unaffected by Covid-19, and with a strong preseason under our belts, we faced off against Mentone in Round 1. Having not beaten Mentone in many years at First XI level, it was a great result to knock off one of the premier sides by 5 wickets. The next couple of weeks saw some tough losses to Assumption and PEGS, but the squad picked up their game when they faced off against Peninsula in Round 4. A fabulous win off the back of Nicholas Graves’ 3 wickets and Charles Robertson’s 53, Camberwell chased down 149 easily.

The squad found some end-of-season form going 3-1 in the final four rounds, defeating last year’s premiers, Ivanhoe, easily and this year’s premiers Trinity by 8 wickets. Will Stamper and Joshua Davidson finished the season with class, Joshua the pick of the batsmen scoring 295 runs for the season, including 63, 54* and 86*. Connor Laird was the pick of the bowlers, once again terrorising the AGSV batsmen. Connor was presented with AGSV Captain honours, with Joshua Davidson and Nicholas Graves also being selected.

I would like to extend my thanks for the fun and successful season to the Coach and Assistant Coach, Clint Hillas and Kerry Tsonis, and to Teacher in Charge Mr Sofoulis for another fluent and memorable Cricket season. Finishing 5-3 was a huge achievement for the squad and was a fabulous way to send off the Year 12s who have given so much to the amazing Cricket program, and to build a base for the up-and-coming Camberwell First XI players.

Lachlan Ross Captain

Second Cricket

There were several highlights throughout the course of the season, no greater than our away victory against Assumption, which saw the team bounce back from our only loss of the season to Trinity the previous week. Plummeting to 5-76, the team was under pressure on a challenging batting surface, before youngsters Adam Li and Luke Cariss-Brett combined to take the score to 6-139 and set up the win.

James Allsop led our team valiantly through a condensed 2022 season and topped the bowling stats. Our young side benefited greatly from his experience, tenacity, and cricketing intellect. With several jovial bus trips, highlights on and off the field, and only the one loss for the season, it’s fair to say that we had a successful season. Largely attributed to the efforts of the players, parents, and expertise of Mick Hancock who joined the Camberwell ranks this season.

One of the keys to our success this season was our toporder batting, demonstrating intent and determination. Lachie McGowan and Ed Harper proved to be a real force at the top of the order, as did Harry Gittins, Manhar Singh, and Luke Cariss-Brett when given the opportunity to get going.

I feel sorry for the opposition batsmen who were subject to what was essentially a First XI bowling line-up with Ben Grlj, Caleb Smith, Oliver Lowe sharing a wealth of First XI experience, then the crafty medium pace of James Allsop and wiley spin of Charlie Leong and Luke Cariss-Brett. Hugh Cran, Michael Chen, Zac Matters, Max Grant and Owen Cox are all back again next season and are true contenders for the First XI stage.

The Second XI awards this season from four matches were as follows:

• Batting: Lachie McGowan 111 runs

• Bowling: James Allsop 10 wickets

• Coach’s Award: James Allsop

Congratulations and thank you to Manhar Singh, Harry Gittins, and Simon Lewison who have spent countless hours representing the School on the cricket field and we wish them all the best in their cricketing endeavours after school.

Third Cricket

The Third Cricket team had a great season this year, despite not recording a win through the four games played. The team consisted of players in Year 11 and Year 12, many who have been playing in the same team since Year 7, and the team worked collectively to put in their best effort and take part in a season they could all be proud of.

The standout game was the first of the season where Camberwell put up a total of 120 runs in the first innings following standout innings of 47 not out from Thomas Cooper, however, Assumption were too much to handle and ended up chasing the total down in 15 overs.

For the season overall, the MVP of the team was Thomas Cooper who provided valuable bowling and batting for the team, and the Coach’s Award was given to Vincent Chen who showed resilience and always put in the most effort in all aspects of the game.

Overall, the season ended with four losses, but despite this, the team remained energised and enjoyed the season with a great send-out game for the Year 12s. Thanks to Kevin for helping to coach the team and all the players for the season.

Intermediate A and B Cricket

Inter A Blue, Inter A Gold and Inter B packed many memorable moments of individual brilliance and squad solidarity into the compressed 2022 season. It was of course a season marked by Covid-19 disruptions, which resulted in many players covering for absent teammates and frequent jiggling of the three Inter teams.

The season began triumphantly with the Blues and Bs winning against visiting teams. For the Blues, Adam Li had an outstanding all-rounder performance: conceding a miserly 2/6 off four overs and was also amongst the runs, along with Daniel Teele and Angus Rynne. For the Bs, Cameron Holmes and Lucas Brown led the bowling attack in a constricting performance, setting up the Camberwell Grammar openers, Lachlan Charlesworth and Patrick Hindhaugh, for a dominant opening stand. Fast runs from Matthew Allsop sealed the victory.

The next three rounds were challenging for the Inter teams, playing against strong sides and suffering a couple of opposition forfeits due to Covid-19. But there were many valorous moments, with the Golds winning a lot of fans in their Round 3 trip to Marcellin. The reduced batting line-up recovered from 6-46 to come close to the host’s score of 135. Joshua Taylor scored an unbeaten 42 in a heroic rear-guard.

The season ended with two affirming victories for the Golds and Blues. The Golds relished the opportunity of hosting Trinity on the KAO, and batted first for a bulking total, with Luke Carriss-Brett retiring n.o. on 50. Strong bats from Hugh Cran, Flynn Parker and a comprehensive team bowling attack produced seven different Camberwell Grammar wicket takers to secure a convincing victory for the Blues.

The future looks bright for the Inter 2022/3 season.

Mr William Guest Teacher in Charge

Year 8 Cricket

The 8A and B Cricket teams had an extremely successful season winning most games. The students showed great fight and grit in all games and were challenged by all the schools.

Some individual highlights of the season were a fine 50 by opening 8A batsmen James Le Get in the game against Ivanhoe. Smart middle-order batting from Kathir Suresh and James Alex meant the team was always in good hands after a loss of a wicket. In the bowling department, Skipper Aadhi Harsha Raj was our go-to bowler which was shown when he picked up a 3 against Mentone. Michael Wong and James Alex provided good pace options both taking 4 wicket hauls. Luke Meaney, Jay Christie and Kathir Suresh also provided the team with various medium pace options and always stepped up when required.

The 8A team as a whole really showed great chemistry and it was a very fun experience to play in. At the end of the season James Alex took out a well-deserved MVP award after coming into the side and James Le Get won the Coach’s Award On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Mr Conlan and Matt Lewison for coaching this outstanding season for 8A Cricket.

The 8B Cricket team was full of enthusiasm and energy during the season. In their first game against Assumption, the team continued to work hard to avoid being bowled out and were well lead by James Graham who made 20 not out and provided great leadership and example to the top order. It was a tight game, with Assumption winning by 1 over, but there were plenty of positives to take out of it. The team showed spirit and looked to improve their next game with a renewed focus on continuous improvement. Unfortunately, during the second round against Yarra Valley, they ended up losing by 1 run.

The win came in Round 4 against rivals Trinity Grammar. The team showed great resilience and character throughout the game and were so pleased to have thier first win of the season. To see the smiles on their faces as they walked off victorious was a pleasure to see.

Overall, it was fantastic effort by the team and with improved performances with each round. The players can be extremely proud of both their performance and the manner in which they conducted themselves during the season. Onwards and upwards for next year. Congratulations to the Most Valued Player, Patrick Watson, and Coach’s Award winner, Lucas Kohlmann.

Year 7 Cricket

The excitement built throughout the Christmas holidays as the new Year 7 lads headed towards their first experience of Cricket at Camberwell Grammar. With the promise of better times ahead, the team turned up to their first training session on the Keith Anderson Oval. With new bats and gear, they threw everything into their batting, bowling and fielding as they met their new coaches who, as Alumni of the School, had also experienced this excitement. The weather was kind but not so Covid-19 as some missed games, but those who played fought to the end in each and every game.

The Year 7 Cricket season is short but a valuable apprenticeship for Cricket at Camberwell Grammar. They all now know what is required of them at training and they understand the joy of trips to Peninsula and Essendon Grammar as well as Assumption College Kilmore. Season 2022/23 cannot come quickly enough for this group which showed enormous promise. Thanks go to their coaches the ‘Four Js’, James, James, Jordan, and Josh, who are filled with optimism for the upcoming season.

Well done to the Cross Country team on a superb season finishing in second place, and really pushing Marcellin who has won the past 23 Premierships.

For Round 7, the injury and Covid-19 bug hit us hard as we missed a number of runners. The Senior section was so close, with only three points separating 1st and 3rd. Even with five runners in the top 20, we finished 3rd. It was great to see Lachlan Wei, Max Farmer, Kyle Scheer, and Colby Gale push themselves in their last race for the School.

Max and Lachlan have been super leaders this year, turning up early on Saturday to help set up the course along with providing constant encouragement for all runners. So proud of these young gentlemen.

In the Intermediates, the usual stars of our squad led the way but it was great to see Kensei Soegijono crack the top 20, along with Ari Canale benefitting from consistent training with his best finish for the season. Again illustrating the closeness of the competition, we finished 2nd only three points from winning!

The Juniors were the worst-hit team with injury and illness. Harvey Williams continued his outstanding season leading all the way, yet I have been most impressed with the efforts of Richie Yang and Jamie Sun. They never missed a session and, while often being at the back of the training pack, they never gave up and have gradually moved through the field.

Cross Country

The end of the season saw Camberwell Grammar win four AGSV medals, Silver for James Alex and Gold for Harvey Williams, Joshua Carlin, and Harrison Car. Congratulations to these fine young men.

Last but not least, thanks to the ever-reliable, bubbly, and indispensable Dr Mandusic. There is a saying ‘if you want something done, do it yourself. That is not true, if you want something done, ask Dr Mandusic!

Cycling

Despite a shortened 2022 cycling season, it has been Camberwell’s best! Our growing team of 20 saw the first of the Victorian Inter-Schools Cycling Series for summer with the time trial at Caribbean Gardens to set the rankings for the remainder of the season. It was a brutal five laps of the course for the Seniors and an equally painful three laps for the Juniors. In the Junior ranks, we had Timothy Yeow secure a first position in B-Grade for the races to follow, as well as Edward Goh and Thomas Klebanowski setting themselves up well in their first ever time trials.

The Senior Division finished with the same momentum as the juniors. We were able to get three riders in the top ten, with Arya Aminazad, Kyle Scheer, and Logan Taplin securing positions in A-Grade for future races. Some other notable performances came from Ned Chesler with a powerful ride putting him in B-Grade. As well as Nicholas Koppelman and Keelan Hale in their first time trials getting in the secondhighest division!

The second race of the season was another sunny one at Caribbean Gardens. Some big performances from our Juniors, Frank Roodenburg (in his second ever bunch race) and Timothy Yeow securing second place in their respective C and B divisions. The Seniors were able to follow these performances with a second place in the men’s C-Grade from Alec Mcdougall, with the closest sprint of the season which was only decided by half a wheel’s length. Closely followed by Lachie McInnes in third with Darcy Norman, Michael Cheung, Luke Ryan and Aj Ananthapavan finishing strong in the main peloton, collecting more points for the overall school competition.

In Senior B-Grade, Nicholas Koppelman finished in the elite front group of riders, narrowly missing the podium with an impressive fourth place, with Keelan Hale and Ned Chesler finishing strongly in the peloton. Impressive performances from the A-Grade riders saw Arya Aminazad, Logan Taplin, and Kyle Scheer claim three of the top six positions, a very rare occurrence in school cycling.

It was our commitment through the week at Hawthorn’s famous teardrop criteriums which paid dividends throughout the season. Some notable performances were the Junior A-Grade win of Keelan Hale and multiple podiums from Timothy Yeow, Augustine Tan, Thomas Klebanowski and Jason Li.

Despite the shortened season and a rained-out final race, it’s safe to say that all the cyclists did Camberwell Grammar proud, and the future of Camberwell’s Cycling squad is on even more of an upward trajectory. Every student on the team was able to score points for the overall school competition. With the team’s combined efforts we came second in the school’s competition, an outstanding result!

Thank you to Adam, Nathan, Joel, and Zac for the hours of training. A very special thank you to Mr Jones for all his efforts with the team. His weekly driving trips, mechanical skills, and fantastic commentary kept everyone in high spirits throughout the season. Until the next season, keep up the riding and keep the rubber on the road!

Fencing

The return to an uninterrupted Fencing season gave the Junior and Senior squads an excellent opportunity to develop their skills and to show Camberwell Grammar as a highly competitive presence in the Winter Schools League Competition.

The season began promisingly with Daniel Renzi, Gino Yao, and Goldman Xu receiving a Silver Medal in the first Junior Men’s Teams competition. This was soon complemented by the win of a Gold Medal by Julian Lim, Steven Lu, Luke Nguyen, and Sean Xu in the opening Senior Men’s Teams competition. These wins helped to give enormous confidence to our Fencers that was sustained throughout the season.

Further top eight finishes by Riley Austin, Marcus Lu, and Chauncey Yu in the Junior Men’s Individual competitions added to the depth of the skills development that continued across the season, thanks to the training of both squads by our longstanding coach, Mr Pieter Leeuwenburgh, whose guidance has been fundamental to the development of the success the students have enjoyed.

These achievements were reflected again at the end of the season in the Silver Medal awarded to Ethan Chen, Marcus Lu, Chauncey Yu, and Goldman Xu in the Junior Men’s Teams Championship in a very closely contested bout against St Leonard’s College.

Two notable awards received by our Fencers were the award of the Senior Champion Fencer shield to Sean Xu, and the Junior Champion Fencer shield to Marcus Lu. These are both notable

achievements because these awards are based on the individual competition rankings calculated by Fencing Victoria across the season. Further to this, Sean Xu concluded the season with the award of Full Colours in Fencing on the basis of his achievements and sustained contribution to the sport.

In the Senior squad, Julian Lim continued to develop his competition experience in Foil, competing in the Under 20s National Championships in May before then competing in the Senior Asian Championships in Seoul, the Senior World Championships in Cairo, and in the Commonwealth Championships in London. The skill and experience this enabled him to contribute as a member of the squad are very much appreciated and we wish him every continued success as he pursues his sporting career in Fencing.

Thanks also go to Luke Nguyen, this year’s Captain, for his leadership and support and to Ms Cairistiona Tait, who joined the squad this year and who has already begun to make a significant contribution to the leadership of the students and to the development of the sport within the School.

With such a strong foundation, we look forward to the continued success of both squads next year and we would like to thank all the parents for their consistent support of the students throughout the season. Without their dedication, so much of what has been achieved would not be possible.

First XVIII Football

The First XVIII Football team had a very enjoyable season this year. Having the opportunity to play the whole season from start to finish was a breath of fresh air in comparison to the last two years. I had the absolute privilege of captaining the team this year and was accompanied by Benjamin Carlisle, the Vice Captain, and an amazing group of students on the leadership group. I would like to thank Rayden Tallis, Neil Connell, Teri Miriklis, Ryan Whitehead, Ryan Walsh, the Strength and Conditioning coaches, and the Friends of Football for an amazing year and for supporting all of us every step of the way.

Presented with such a role, I was able to experience the growth and maturation of all the students who were part of the team. The team trained hard each and every week leading up to the season, providing us with an extremely strong foundation and allowing us to secure two wins. Although not the result we were hoping for, it provides the Football community with a step in the right direction and a step toward winning more games for those who will play in 2023 and beyond. The highlight of the year, however, was experiencing the everlasting culture which surrounds Camberwell Grammar Football and the enjoyment you receive when you play such a sport. Creating lifelong friends and being able to share those victories with them, is exactly what Camberwell Grammar Sport as a whole is about, and it is something that I will truly miss as I depart the School at the end of this year.

As I look back on the season, I realise how much of it I took for granted and I regret not taking a few more risks. I strongly recommend that students in the Football community who want to play for the First XVIII team to strive for it and work hard to achieve their goal. Whether it is going for a crunching tackle or playing your first game, I encourage everybody to seize their moment and enjoy the sport they play, because sport is about having fun and improving. Always make the decision to put your best foot forward – for me that was playing First XVIII Football this year, and I hope it will be for you too.

Second Football

Camberwell Grammar Second XVIII Football had a successful year, despite losing every game of the season, there are many positives to pick out. So, let’s ignore the scoreboard and stat sheet and take a glass-half-full approach. The improvement of our Football was evident among players, coaches, and parents. As the season went on, our chemistry and culture grew exponentially. We could feel the difference in our game and the energy we had when we played. The little things such as a tackle or a mark brought sparks of positivity and excitement amongst the players, which made this beloved sport all the more enjoyable. I found that some of the moments I dreaded the most beforehand, ended up being core memories that I will never forget. Whether it’s huddling for warmth at 9.00am in 1-degree weather up at Assumption or seeing your mate miss from directly in front of the goals. Regardless of the number of wins we got, these are the stories that are remembered and retold years after leaving school.

Overall, I’m proud to say I played in the team, and I wish the future years more success. Maybe they’ll actually be able to sing the sports song.

Third Football

This was perhaps the most remarkable Third XVIII Football team in Camberwell Grammar history. The players were academics, musicians, thespians, debaters, and chess players. One student, later a star at Hamer Hall, had not only never played, but had never seen the code, even on television.

And so it was that the squad was determined to excel in yet another sphere. What it required was commitment, and the students gave this in spades. There was boundless enthusiasm for the trinity of Gordon Barnard hills, and slowly but surely the level of fitness improved. Minor transgressions (and support for Collingwood) meant that push-ups were required, and by the end of the season, bicep strength was through the roof.

This was the first year since 2019 when we could have a full season, and the students made the most of it. Sometimes at this level, there is a reluctance among some to train or play in the depths of a wet and cold winter, but this group always turned up reliably and with alacrity.

As for the result of the matches, we need only look at the excursion to PEGS, where we prevailed in the final quarter. The post-match rendition of the song was high-decibel and chorally perfect.

Mention must be made in particular of Rafael Carmel (Best and Fairest), James Kerferd (Best Clubman), Connor Inston (Camberwell Grammar Team Player of the Year), and Harley Inglis (Leading Goalkicker), but all players are to be congratulated on their determination and improvement over the season. To put this in context, we played the same Mentone team twice and managed a 15-goal turnaround.

Most of the squad were in Year 11, and we look forward to them putting on the boots again in 2023. Mr Hone is already working on his oratory.

Intermediate Football

The Intermediate Football teams had varying success this season.

The Intermediate B team, consisting of dedicated, hardworking, and skillful Year 9 and 10 students, had a fantastic Football season. Lachie McGowan, Jamison Smith, and Sam Grlj were nominated by their teammates and led from the front, showing great leadership and accountability throughout the season, as well as respect for both their teammates and coaches. The first few rounds started off with some emphatic wins, this showed us how good a team they really were. The game of the season was against Trinity: it was neck and neck all game until our team ran away with it with 3 goals to zip in the last quarter to win by 29 points. Special mention to Angus Rynne, Sam Grlj, Callum Yates, Lachie McGowan, and Ryder Smith who were able to impact games and find the ball when the team needed it.

The Intermediate C Blue team was prepared to call the season over after the first five losses in a row. However, the coaches pushed them harder than ever following the fifth defeat. With a fresh strategy, they had a reason for optimism going into the next game, especially because of the return from injury of the important forward, Kurt Zvirbulis. They then won the following game by 104 points. The players deserve praise for the caliber of Football they played and their unwavering will to triumph. Overall, the team would like to thank Jordan McCleery and Ben Wardlaw for working so hard to ensure it was an enjoyable season!

After losing the first two games by small margins, the Intermediate C Gold team was able to put together seven consecutive wins to finish the season off in style. The improvement from the beginning of the season to the end was quite pronounced and the team was well led at training and on match days by Joshua Day, Henry Deayton, Ryan Humphries, Matthew Allsop, Campbell Davidson, Max Pringle, Parker Rush, and Fraser Richardson. To see some of the least experienced players have breakout games throughout the season was a credit to both themselves individually and to the culture fostered by the team.

Well done to everyone involved on a fantastic season, we look forward to seeing the students progress with their Football in the years to come.

Year 8A and 7A Football

The 8A season was a great experience. We started off the season with a 100-point victory over Yarra Valley, with Joshua Tallis’ five goals highlighting a great performance across the board. However, we were soon hit with sickness and injuries and were unable to recreate our performance against tougher opponents in the next few weeks, including losses to Marcellin and Trinity, in which Daniel Bullock was a real standout. Perhaps our strongest performance of the year came in the game against a very strong Ivanhoe team, which was a back-and-forth contest that we, unfortunately, ended up losing, after being overpowered in the last quarter. However, this great performance showed us what we could play like, and great performances from Atticus Brennan and Jarvis Neal, in his first game of the season, instilled us with much confidence going into the next game against Marcellin. We were very proud of our performance as a team, especially in the second half of the season. Overall, Football this year was an amazing learning experience that allowed for the development of players of all different skill levels and stages, and allowed us to really bond and come together as a team.

The 7A’s started in a tough match against Marcellin to start off the season. We lost, but you win some and you lose some. We kept losing in a couple of close-call games. Finally, we played Assumption, and at the 3-quarter time, they were up by more than 60, but we didn’t give up and kicked 5 to 6 amazing goals. We played P.E.G.S and smashed them by over 70 points. In our final game, we played the other Marcellin team, didn’t give up, and played a good game. Although we lost everyone had smiles on their faces. It was a great season, played with a fantastic group of mates.

Angus Goodale and Dylan Hodges

Year 7/8B Football

This season was a tough one for the students in the 7/8B Football team. We had a rocky start, as we set out to find our individual strengths and weaknesses as players, and then learn how to adapt to those as a team.

We started off with a few losses as players moved between different teams. We kept training hard and tried our best to improve for each game. We had some hard losses mid-season but bounced back and were trying to be competitive and enjoy our footy. We were unlucky to just miss out on winning our first game, coming within 4 points.

Even though we didn’t get that win, knowing we could compete helped us bond together as a team, and built team spirit.

I would like to thank our coaches Mr Van Maanen and Flynn Chable. They helped us improve our footy skills and get better as a team.

Umpires’ Academy

Into its 16th year, the Camberwell Grammar Umpires’ Academy gave twelve students the opportunity to be coached and to umpire in the Yarra Junior Football League each Sunday. Coaches Harry Wray and Max Ramm taught the group the finer points of Boundary and Field umpiring. The extended season started in February and ended in August with a number of students gaining an opportunity to umpire in Finals matches.

Congratulations to Julian Thornton who was awarded the Camberwell Grammar School Academy Encouragement Award, Orlando Rofe who was awarded the Coaches’ Award, and congratulations to Ned Chesler for being appointed to a Grand Final as a field umpire!

The graduates this year were: Orlando Rofe, Julian Thornton, Ned Chesler, Aryan Ananthapavan, James Le Get, Darcy Merritt, Nathan Chan, Harvey Bourke, Harrison Lipscombe, Fin Williams, Atticus Brennan, and Fraser Richardson.

Golf

This year we saw a lot of new members join the Golf squad, which is great to see. We trained at Kew Golf Club twice a week and it was great to see the students working hard to improve their game. The Monday session included going out onto the course, which everyone enjoyed, and the Thursday session was about improving our skills either on the range or putting and chipping on the green. Towards the end of the season, we were lucky enough to go use Trackman, a golf launch monitor paired with a simulator that tracks your swing and ball path to provide advanced data on the range, which gave all the students insight into their swing and shots and was a great experience for the squad.

Two members qualified for the AGSV Golf Championship at Spring Valley. Sam Keenan put in a lot of hard work over the holidays to get to an 18 handicap which qualified him to enter his first tournament. Sam enjoyed the experience and shot 90, tied 33rd,  an outstanding effort on a new course playing stroke. Callum Yates shot 76, 5th, and qualified for the State final to be played at Frankston Long Island later in the year.

The Golf squad would also like to give a special thanks to Mr Miriklis for supporting every single student and helping us all improve our game.

First XI Hockey

After a rough last couple of years in 2020 and 2021, with interruptions to the Winter Season due to Covid-19, the First XI Hockey team looked to come back to normality with a Premiership. Camberwell Grammar started the season strong with wins over PEGS and Yarra Valley, preparing them for the annual grudge match against archrivals Trinity. They were able to hold an early 2-0 lead for the duration of the game and came away with the win. Leading into the July holidays, Camberwell Grammar was able to finish undefeated before the break, with wins over Marcellin and Ivanhoe.

After the July holidays, they looked to continue their undefeated streak leading into the finals, after winning a friendly match against APS team, Scotch. Camberwell Grammar then faced Yarra Valley, for the second time in the semi-final, however, with a weakened squad due to some injuries to key players. Yarra Valley gave the team a run for its money by keeping the score to 2-1 in favour of Camberwell Grammar at halftime. They overcame the nerves and were able to finish the game 4-1, leading to a Camberwell Grammar vs. Trinity grand final at Matlock reserve. Unfortunately, Trinity claimed the Premiership, after sharing it with Camberwell Grammar in the 2021 season. An unfortunate result, however a fantastic effort nonetheless to reach the grand final.

The School’s Hockey looks to have a bright future ahead, with some upcoming superstars, and we wish them the best of luck. We would like to thank Mr Watson and Mr Webster for their continued support of all the students, something which we all have appreciated and benefited from greatly.

Second Hockey

Second XI Gold Hockey had an overall strong season and an enjoyable and hopefully memorable one for the students. They operated as something of a counter-striking team throughout the season, with a strong and reliable defensive line from which many quick and exciting runs through the midfield and into the forward line took place at turnovers, resulting in most of our goals. In this way, we were able to create some very solid results against strong teams, in lieu of dominating possession in most of our games.

Similarly, the Second XI Blue Hockey team had an amazing season with eight wins, one draw, and one loss. Even though the students came up short against Trinity, I am still proud of how far they have come. We constantly showed what it means to be a team. When Jerry Zhou gained confidence and attempted to score goals in a few of the games, almost everybody got excited and gathered around him. I have no more words to say other than that I am super proud of how they have played throughout this year.

Training and games were always approached with an easygoing air of enjoyment by all as they relished their final times representing Camberwell Grammar in sport and playing with their friends whom they have played Hockey with for many years.

Intermediate Hockey

2022 brought a welcome return to an uninterrupted Hockey season and the Year 9 and 10 students in the Intermediate A Hockey teams trained and played enthusiastically under the direction of their wonderful coaches, Des Duarte and Ryan Box.

As is tradition, Camberwell Grammar fielded two evenly talented teams with the experience of Year 10s such as Josh Cooper and Ethan Loi complimenting the many young guns, including Oliver Phillips, Thomas Chen-Low, and Jack Brant. We were also fortunate to have two highly skilled goalkeepers in Ioan Hillard and Hamish Westcott, who proved to be very difficult to pass. In addition to the usual hard-fought matches against Trinity Grammar, the highlight of the season was the match between both Camberwell Grammar teams which was played with high intensity and skill and was determined by a goal to the Blue team in the last minute of the game.

The Intermediate B Hockey team worked consistently hard throughout this season to improve their skills and teamwork. Owen Wu, Jack Giang, and Will Li led by example and helped motivate the team. Early games saw very few goals, but as the season progressed the skills in passing and shooting for goals improved immensely. Owen Wu and Christopher Cohen shared the goalie role and fought off many an attack by the opposing team. The latter half of the season saw a much-improved team, with increased fitness levels, swift passes, and greater communication. The coach Steven Hannah was absolutely fantastic, being one of the team and an amazing mentor. Overall, while they didn’t get as many wins as they thought they would, they still tried hard and had a lot of fun.

Year 7/8 Hockey

What a wonderful Hockey season it has been for the Year 7 and 8 students. Both teams were able to improve dramatically throughout the season. In particular, the A team was a class above all competitors going undefeated throughout the entire season.

For the A team, Chloe was a fantastic coach this season. Setting up game-like plays in training and then the students undertaking these within matches. This reflected her in-depth knowledge of the game of Hockey. The team was not only able to win every match it played but, on most occasions, the Camberwell Grammar score line was never less than 3 goals and stretched as far as 8 and 7-goal victories on more than two occasions.

The B team found the season challenging but very enjoyable. The coach Indika came to the School with a wealth of knowledge. He was able to improve the skill and ability of the majority of players in the squad. All players were very supportive of the team and many of them were very close to being elevated to the A team. Jai Anand Malik was a stand-out and someone who deserves to be recognised. After developing his skills and ball use throughout the season, his ability to convey this in matches caught the eye of both coaches. With two matches remaining in the season, Jai was asked to join the A team and he should be congratulated for his efforts.

Thank you to all of the wonderful parents who supported both teams throughout the season. Making sure their son was on time and ready for matches or early departing buses. A special mention must go Mr Webster for his experience and guidance throughout the season. His instruction and helping hand were always appreciated and the knowledge he imparts to the students is invaluable.

Kayaking

Looking to rebound from the relatively uneventful 2020/21 season in which many races were cancelled due to Covid-19, the Camberwell Grammar Kayaking squad was eager to compete and be involved in 2022. After our unfortunate absence from the annual Ben Ward 40 Miler race in December 2020, the students were optimistic and ready to tackle the challenge of  the 20+ km relay event. Our rival Trinity’s reluctance to compete put us in good stead to win various gold medals and start the season strongly.

Following this, the squad trained hard with the help of our dedicated coaches in preparation for upcoming races in Nagambie and Geelong. As a result of stellar performances across the board, the Nagambie sprint events saw numerous podium finishes for Camberwell Grammar across various age groups. The Year 12s displayed true comradery heading into

their final ever Kayaking event in Geelong. Their contributions to Camberwell Grammar Kayaking over the last five years have been valuable and have helped shape the squad into what it is today.

On behalf of all the students, I’d like to thank all the parents involved with the Friends of Kayaking group for all their efforts behind the scenes organising fundraising events and ensuring we are always equipped to be involved. Additionally, Logan Dutton and the coaching staff’s organisational efforts and hard work preparing the squad for upcoming events are always appreciated. Finally, thanks to Mr Charlie Lockwood, for without whom the Kayaking squad would be in disarray.

SPORT

Three teams from Camberwell Grammar contested the AGSV Lawn Bowls competition in 2022. The students played two matches each Saturday for six weekends including finals. They enjoyed themselves, developed their skills, and played with sportsmanship.

The A team, consisting of Captain Hieu Tran, Felix Brown, Eamon Wan and Jonty Neil, had a balance of wins and losses and were able to make a spot in the semi-finals. Hieu Tran was awarded the Ian Feder Best Bowler Award for his distinctly high level of bowling, which saved the team in tight spots in a number of games.

Lawn Bowls

The B team under skip James Mills had an early undefeated streak in the first four games and placed in the finals. From that team, Joshua Mazey was awarded the Coach’s Encouragement Award for his notable development and improvement this season. James Gaudion also made a notable contribution to the team with some end-saving bowls and occasional turns as skip. Leonard Lee also contributed.

The C team fielded new bowlers George So, Jonathan Heng and Julian Taft, and they were led by Nathan Tong in his first season as a skip.

Congratulations to all students for their participation and thanks to Coach Bob Jones for his training and advice.

Orienteering

The last few years of Orienteering have been brilliant, in many ways. As Captain and a member of the squad who has been participating in this sport since the School first offered it at the end of Year 6, I can safely say that it has been a great joy to be a member of the squad. While the last few years have been largely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, Orienteering has been largely unaffected.

In the last few years, our squad has taken the trophy off Scotch and defended our title multiple times, including once again this year. With our squad beating out Scotch for three of the four competition weeks, we raked up a total of 976 points overall, compared to Scotch with 681, handily scoring yet another season victory.

We also had numerous individual placegetters, with Daniel Feng taking home D Grade; Rohan Wickremasinghe taking home equal 1st, and Owen Lim taking 3rd in C Grade; William Phillips, our Vice Captain, and Cameron Haw taking equal 2nd in B Grade; Henry Shirrefs taking 2nd, and Benjamin Price, Captain, taking 1st in A Grade. We must also be sure to thank our wonderful coaches, maths teacher Dr Rodgers, Art teacher Mr Williamson, Alumni Nick Lee, and Alumni and former Captain Luke Burton.

However, with the ups also come the downs. As I’m writing this, we have recently finished our first season of orienteering without the long-time coach, Science teacher, mentor, and all-around awesome guy Mr Gordon Wilson. He had coached Orienteering for longer than I’ve been on the team, and his loss saddened everyone involved in both our squad and the competition. The impact he had on us as a squad, and the Orienteering community as a whole, was huge. As such, from this season just now finished and into the future, our Orienteering squad will no longer be competing for the Roger Slade Memorial Trophy, but the Roger Slade and Gordon Wilson Memorial Trophy.

On that note, it can be said that our season was somewhat bittersweet, but we will not give up, and we will continue to compete into the future to defend our title.

Real Tennis

Real Tennis is the original racquet sport from which many modern sports, such as Tennis, have their origins. However, the differences between Real Tennis and other sports are so stark that it is hard to describe with words. From the curved racquets to the hardened balls, surrounding walls, slanting penthouses, and side galleries, Real Tennis really is a sport like no other.

For many of the students that played Real Tennis this season, it was their first time doing so. As such, they embarked into the sport with no real transferable skills from previous sports. The goal of training was to first lay a solid foundation that could be built upon as the students gained further experience. The students gradually improved from week to week until they were ready to eventually practice match play and implement the skills and abilities that they had rigorously sharpened in previous weeks. The students undoubtedly showed immense improvement from start to finish, which was a testament to the commitment and determination that they demonstrated throughout the season. I would like to thank all the players, as well as Ms. Neville, for their hard work and dedication this season, and I look forward to next year, where the sport will surely thrive!

SPORT

Snowsports

With the conclusion of the 2022 Snowsports season, it is paramount that the efforts of both the teachers and the squad be acknowledged when reflecting on the successes of the season. After doubting whether the sport could make a return from the severely detrimental pandemic, the Camberwell Grammar staff worked extremely hard in order to make sure that the students would have a smooth and triumphant season.

A highlight that kicked off the highlights to come was Falls Family Week, which is held every year in the last week of the Term 2 holidays at Falls Creek. Family Week was an opportunity for not only students to come together and learn from each other, but also provided the Snowsports community a chance to come together and share their passion for the sport. It certainly helped that the weather was phenomenal, resulting in many feeling like they were obliged to wear t-shirts. The Friends of Snowsports need to be thanked for this wonderful week, for organising the many events, and for their continuous efforts to revive the Snowsports community post-Covid-19.

Nonetheless, it is the Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships that presented the students with an opportunity to excel in their respective events and to show both their fellow Grammarians, and other mates, who is ‘boss’. With exceptional efforts from every single student who gave it their all, honorable mentions must go to Alec McDougall, who competed in two events in which he had never competed before – snowboarding and cross country. Logan Taplin, Ryan Humphries, Michael Chen, and Tobias Phillips all showed perfect attendance and encouraging spirits at all training sessions.

It is a combination of the efforts of these students, the motivation and expertise of Adam Earnshaw and Paul Sartori in the gym, the Strength and Conditioning coaches (if you couldn’t tell by their colossal muscles), and the assistance of Ms Massey, Mrs de Paiva and Mr Thomson during Interschools Week, who supported all the kids, even through some dreadful days, that shaped an appreciable season for all students to remember. Furthermore, the results of the Victorian Interschool Championships are reflected in the effort put into the sport, with two consistent and outstanding runs from Lachlan Charlesworth, placing him in 39th position against older competitors. Despite Year 2 Junior School student, Arvin Aminazad’s inability to compete in the first two years of his schooling life, he was able to channel his determination toward the 2022 races. He channeled his determination toward the Alpine Giant Slalom race and it is with great pleasure to announce that this proved to be victorious, acquiring Camberwell Grammar’s first-ever victory in Victoria, by almost 5 seconds!

Inspired by his brother’s success, Year 12 student Arya Aminazad raced for Gold in the Alpine Giant Slalom, coming in second place. He turned his skis towards the Skier Cross, setting the fastest time ever recorded on the course, and happily stepping on the podium to bring home a second Gold for Camberwell Grammar.

Having said that, none of this would have been possible without the coordination and constant support of Mr Thomson, who ran the show at short notice. Many thanks to him and I hope that Camberwell Grammar can continue its streak of victory in 2023.

Soccer

First XI Soccer

In spite of the majority of the squad being new, the First XI Soccer team entered the 2022 season in hopes of a successful season following the cancellation of the previous two. The team looked strong following some good pre-season results, forming a tight-knit group on the Gold Coast Tour. For the first three rounds of the AGSV season, we drew the three powerhouse schools: Marcellin, PEGS, and Trinity, for what we knew would be a difficult season.

Our game against Marcellin saw a big home crowd as we aimed for winning ways. Alas, we were down narrowly 2-0 at halftime, though a second-half goal from Hugh Fukumura set up a grandstand finish. Both sides had chances toward the end, but the away team was more clinical with the final score 3-1.

We next made an away trip to PEGS hopeful for our first win of the season. The team got off to a strong start, with a resilient backline withstanding PEGS. A penalty awarded to PEGS on the brink of halftime put us 1-0 down at the break. Despite a valiant effort from everyone, PEGS came away 3-0 winners.

The following match against Trinity saw us battle it out for the prized Mitre Cup. Although we lost 10-0 to a well-oiled Trinity side, this game gave us plenty of things to think about for the rest of the season. Notable performances from Callam McClure and Ethan Ensor gave us optimism for upcoming games.

Our first win came in Round 5 against Yarra Valley. Both sides were yet to register a win and were eager to get the three points. Despite a dominant first-half display with several opportunities, the teams entered the break nil all. Brimming with confidence at the restart, we knew a goal was just a sniff away. Taking opportunities of poor clearances in Yarra’s backline, well-finished goals from Andrew Lee and Gregory Kerdemelidis gave us a 2-0 first win of the season.

Drawn against Yarra Valley again in our final game, which was a 7 vs. 8 position play-off, Camberwell Grammar put in a sublime performance, with the deadlock broken by none other than Nate Seow who hammered the ball into the top right corner, giving us a 1-0 victory, a fitting way to end a season filled with ups and downs.

Second Soccer

The 2022 season began as an uphill battle for the Second XI Soccer team, losing their two mainstay strikers by the conclusion of Round 1 to injury. However, a restructure gave Stef Raydan, Rick Kovos, and AJ Ananthapavan the opportunity to play more forward off the ball than usual. These three did not let the team down, scoring the bulk of the goals in what became a highly successful season on the scoreboard.

Captain Jonathan Pettolino led the midfield and teamed up very well with fellow midfielders, Hugo Thornton and Charles Lewis. The simple no-nonsense working of the ball between these players launched countless successful attacks. The defensive unit was led by Alexander Hatzicostas, whose energetic and upbeat approach to the game ensured a positive outlook from the rest of the team. Edging out the fiery left full-back Zachary Kyriakos for Best Player was Charles Ghostine. Charles’ consistency was unmatched and his effort never lacking. Overall, the team won as much as they lost; however, the most impressive feature of the season was the team’s constant improvement in cohesiveness and spirit in every training session and match. They should be congratulated on a very successful season.

Mr Nick Martin Coach

Third Soccer

The commitment and determination shown by the Third Gold Soccer team this season were very commendable, in what was a very challenging year on the scoreboard. The highlight of the season was a triumph over a handy Mentone team, 8-2. This performance was one to be marvelled at, with Oscar Smith bagging himself a double hattrick, Elliot Choi curling a sublime free-kick into the top right corner, and a fabulous defensive display that saw our second-half goalkeeper, Aydan Yim, keep a clean sheet with the help of the defensive mastermind of Leo Simo-Orgonas. All aspects of our game came together perfectly, with every player being worthy of a best-on-ground award. Despite having one win to the team’s name across the season, all the students in the team were constantly full of vigour and determination to improve.

The Thirds Blue Soccer season was an eventful and enjoyable one, with lessons learnt outside the classroom. Moments of brilliance were on display, including unbelievable saves, flashy skills, opponents left in the dust (or mud), and my personal favourite – the ‘row the boat’ goal celebration. In addition to developing a basic understanding of Soccer skills and tactics, the team learnt invaluable life skills along the way. They had to problem-solve, using pitch conditions to their advantage and playing around muddy patches. They honed creative thinking skills in devising strategies to outwit opponents and developed collaborative skills to work together for a common cause. The team demonstrated resilience in committing to doing their best in difficult scenarios against tough opposition and challenging weather, and they showed a drive to continue to learn and improve.

Fourth Soccer

The Fourth Blue Soccer side encapsulated everything that sport at Camberwell Grammar should be: passionate, resilient, and vibey. A tough loss at Mernda ensured the season would be an uphill battle, having to start with the basics and build a foundation from there. New signings, such as striker David Thomas and keeper Caeden Yap, helped remedy some losses to the squad at the start of the season. From there, led by their fierce Captain Jerry Lu, the bond and willingness to learn fostered amongst this group translated in their incredible mid-season run of form, even beating Yarra 20-0. Everyone played a role this season, never giving up, and always playing for each other. This made every game a rollercoaster of emotion, which was a joy to be a part of.

The Fourth Gold Soccer team started the season as a team of 22 students, none of whom really knew where they best played on the pitch. There were many laughs and jokes throughout the season. The highlight of the season was during the game against Yarra Valley: Tony Zhao dribbled past a few players and put the ball into the top corner of the goal from a long distance to put us up 7-0. Watching the team progress every training session was very satisfying, and they all had a lot of respect for each other and their coach.

Intermediate Soccer

Year 8 Soccer

The 8A Soccer season was overall a successful one, with the team finishing 4th on the leaderboard. After starting the season with a narrow loss to a strong PEGS side, the team came out the next week to beat Trinity. After being down the entire game, three goals from Jarred Costanzo resulted in a 4-3 victory. The next few games resulted in a couple of losses and a couple of gutsy wins, with keeper Harrison Ross quite literally saving us from a loss and pulling off some unbelievable saves in multiple games. Chester Tymms had a breakout season turning out to be a pivotal part of the defensive line, along with Alex Bianchini, Michael Wong, Edward Liang, and Nathan Chan. Midfielders, Christian Iacobucci, Archie Dore, Oliver Pope, and Rui Yi Rong scored all the goals for the team with a powerhouse forward in Harish R-Roshan, who always gave opposition defences a run for their money.

The 8B Soccer team started their season with a defeat against Yarra Valley. Fortunately, the season got better from there. From the outset, the team worked hard in training, pushing each other to improve both individually and as a team. Their efforts showed in the results with the team winning three out of the following four matches, displaying miles of improvement. Their hard work was rewarded throughout the season with a couple of really good wins, particularly against Marcelin and Assumption.

The 8C Soccer team had a season of mixed results, starting off spectacularly as a dominant Camberwell Grammar side put 7 goals past the Yarra Valley defence. Following a few close losses, the team was able to finish the season strongly, winning two out of their final three games thanks to some great individual performances, including Evan Hu in defence and Owen O’Brien in midfield. The final game of the season was against our rivals, Trinity, and after a hard-fought match, Camberwell Grammar was able to win 2-1, thanks to a lastminute winner by George Charles.

The Intermediate C Blue Soccer team had a successful season winning the majority of their games. Indeed, each member learnt the value of a team mentality and incorporating tactics into

Year 7 Soccer

The 7A Soccer team faced a tumultuous season, but what remained constant was persistent effort throughout the season and all the way up to the final whistle. Despite losses in the beginning, the team highlighted their tenacity to remain strong and optimistic, allowing them to thrive after getting to full strength. It all started with the gripping 5-5 draw with Ivanhoe on the KAO. Launching off this, they were able to secure successive victories against Mentone and PEGS. Notably, it was a clear highlight to see the development of all the players.

The 7B Soccer team came together as a passionate bunch. Not having a specialist goalkeeper in the team meant that each player had to bravely step up and take on an unfamiliar role at various points in the season, and this produced some of the most memorable performances, including penalty saves and acrobatic efforts. It was a difficult season results-wise, but the team always had a smile on their face and kept their heads high. An away game at Ivanhoe towards the season’s end was a particular

highlight, with three brilliant goals shared amongst the forwards, resulting in the team almost completing a stunning secondhalf comeback victory.  The team’s improvement from the first game to the last was astronomical, with each player growing as footballers, teammates, and individuals.

This year’s 7C Soccer team had a great first Winter Season at Camberwell Grammar. The team quickly gelled into an effective squad consistently building on their constructive relationships. They were encouraged to try out some new formations that stretched and challenged them throughout the season. Each player helped do their part to help the team win a collection of games throughout the season. The students were generally well matched and played some well contested games, whilst consistently demonstrating the values of fair play and good sportsmanship.

The 2021 Squash season was challenging, with only six games played in the shortened season. Nevertheless, the season was once again a success, with solid development across all teams in the squad. Many players had not played a game for almost a year, but the enthusiasm never wavered, and it was back to business in January. To the six Year 12 students in the squad –thank you for your service, commitment, and positive attitudes over the years.

This year, Camberwell entered four teams into the Victorian Junior Squash Association, two in Division 2 and two in Division 4. The Thirds team, one of the Division 4 teams, finished 3rd in the division – not an easy feat over a mere six games. Both the Thirds and Fourths competed with enthusiasm, with every new player giving it their best shot, regardless of the previous week’s outcome.

Squash SPORT

The Seconds team, in Division 2, showed the squad how it was done. Every week, the matches ended with close scores, keeping everyone on their toes. Team Captain Mitchell Wills kept the passion alive, helping them finish the season with a nearly even win-loss ratio.

The Firsts team started the season a little shaky but, by the end of the season, we were the strongest team in the division. Rising stars Lachlan Wei and Taran Rose took the challenge head-on, performing extraordinarily in their most successful seasons so far. We competed to the best of our ability and were awarded the joint Premiership with Trinity Grammar School’s Firsts – both teams finishing with 67 points apiece. Thank you to my Vice Captain, Hamish Campbell-Cowan – your support helped put the Premiership within reach.

As with last season, training was run at Grace Park Hawthorn Club. Thank you to Selena, James, Mike, and Lara for helping us improve our skills so we could show the other clubs and schools what it means to be a Camberwell Grammarian. Additionally, a very big thank you to Mr Burke and Mr Duong for their unwavering positivity and support during the season – it helped make each Saturday something for the squad to look forward to. Good luck to the squad for next season.

As Mr Burke loves to say, ‘Hit the ball where your opponent isn’t.’

Squash

Our Junior School boys raced well (and often) through Term 1 with some of the largest teams we have had represent the School. Our District team enjoyed success, progressing to Divisionals, then onto Regionals and finally States!

Our Junior AGS Team was stronger than ever, claiming victory in the Junior AGS Swimming Championships by 6 points. An amazing team effort! Thank you to Miss Joyce and Mr Conroy for their hard work and support through the season.

The Middle and Senior School students were determined to defend our AGSV Swimming Premiership title, and Finals team did not disappoint.

It was a hotly contested Premiership, with Camberwell and Trinity neck and neck! Our students proving to be too strong, securing back-to-back Premierships, over Trinity by 6 points. Some highlights included:

• Our students won 16 events (both individual and relays)

• Caberwell Grammar was top 4 in 34 of the 40 Events

• Our swimmers broke 5 AGSV records and 16 School records

Swimming

This year, Camberwell Grammar Aquatic extracurricular Learn to Swim and Squad programs experienced running at an all-time high enrolments, and we successfully commenced our new Ready, Set, RACE! Program. Squad swimmers represented the club, competing fiercely through the State Titles:

• 43 State Qualifiers

• 53 Finals Swims

• 10 State Medal winning swims

• 8 National Age Qualifiers

An outstanding effort by our swimmers, instructors, and coaches! A big thank you and congratulations to our swimmers (and Captains Yanning Zhang, Gregory Kerdemelidis and Cody Greenwood), families and staff for their support in what has, again, been our biggest summer so far.

First VI Table Tennis

The 2021-2022 AGSV competition saw the return of normality, with a full competition and the focus on claiming an official Premiership. Dedicated to fulfilling the standards set by previous years, the First Table Tennis team trained with not only commitment but also enjoyment, as every individual strived to improve their skills to contribute to the overall encouragement of the team. Benefiting from the guidance of one another, as well as the constructive criticisms of coach Joe Gerada every Tuesday and Thursday morning, ensured that the squad not only maintained but furthered the level of Table Tennis that Camberwell Grammar is known for.

This season was not without hardship and struggle. Training was tested immensely every Saturday morning with the interschool competition stronger than ever. With every win, but more so with every loss, pressure and struggle could oftentimes get the better of our players, leading to errors not out of technicality but personal deprecation. It was remarkable to see the mature mindset of all players in the competition develop throughout, only leading to a higher quality of table tennis.

The season came off to a pleasing start against Yarra Valley Grammar School, with a 15 – 0  victory to Camberwell, setting the tone for the rest of the season to come. However, Round 2 saw a much tighter contest against runners-up PEGS, as they displayed powerful team spirit. In the absence of Justin Kwan

Table Tennis

and Charles Lewis, all members of the squad stepped up to face challenging opponents, of which the individual matches could not have been closer. Despite an overall 10 – 5 win for Camberwell, this did not reflect the standard of Table Tennis that PEGS had shown. Aiden Tang displayed admirable sportsmanship and maturity during his matches, while efforts from Joshua Hui saw him defeating PEGS’ top-seeded player to ensure a win after a well-fought contest. With newfound motivation, PEGS was determined to claim Premiership against Camberwell in the finals.

The squad members trained with perseverance and determination in the weeks leading up to the finals. The AGSV finals saw the playoff of two teams in their greatest moments of focus. The individual matches were extraordinarily close, with a number of them going to 5 sets, and bringing out the best in our players. Ultimately Camberwell were able to defeat PEGS and claim yet another AGSV Premiership, the 100th for our school.

As the season concludes the squad farewells Year 12 students Charles Lewis, Brendan Tse and myself. To be a part of the school’s dominant record in this sport has been a truly special experience. Our focus is, therefore, turned to the younger players of the squad, who will undoubtedly continue developing the high standards of Table Tennis for themselves and for the School in years to come.

Second Table Tennis

The Second Blue team has had a wonderful season this year and won all their matchups. The top players consist of Lidong Chen, Finnian Mahaffy, Mathieu Ly and Ashton Lu for the season. Most of the games played were easily won by a considerable margin, except for one close match.

Camberwell Grammar’s Second Gold Table Tennis team had an amazing 2021-2022 season. We had our ups and downs but overall had a fun and exciting time. During the season, students demonstrated skills and developed very good teamwork. All players did their best over the whole season, with notable players being Dylan Chi, William Wu and Ximing Zhang. In comparison to other seasons, this was the most successful by far.

With our very convenient sporting facilities this Summer Season, the Camberwell Second Mitre Table Tennis team played well. An excellent effort from the team, and all students played with enthusiasm and consistency. Special mentions go to Jack Yao, Cam Dunne, and Anthony Choi for their outstanding plays.

9/10 Division 1 Table Tennis

It’s hard to want a more successful season than the one we achieved in the 9-10 Division 1 team. This year, we were able to train with the Firsts Table Tennis team. This provided us with great insight into what the best Table Tennis players do to train and gave us great opportunities to prove ourselves to the older, and often younger players, in the Firsts team. Ethan Ong and Andy Zhang, our seed 1 and 2, showed what they were made of by playing outstanding rallies and pushing themselves against some of the toughest foes they had faced so far. Daniel An gained confidence through the season, showing off his formidable skills in the final games. Tommy Auwardt, Theodore Lam, and Jayden Yap all had undefeated seasons showing great promise for the seasons ahead. While the early morning training may have been tough, they were instrumental in the team’s improvements and we all look forward to seeing how we could possibly improve on the perfect season we’ve had.

9/10 Division 2 Table Tennis

Term 1 2022 saw Table Tennis training and the interschool competition for Year 9/10 Division 2 team return to a relatively normal season. Gold, Blue, and Mitre trained on Tuesday afternoons and competed every Saturday at PEGS. Camberwell continued to field relatively strong and numerous teams of talented players who practiced hard to improve and this season was no exception. Blue (Louie Fei, Michael Huang, Jerry Jin, Wilson Sha, Leo Li, Minh Tran, and Dennis Shaliga) won the most matches throughout the season, Gold (William Lardner, Matthew  Lung, Leo Quan, Thomas Nania, Jasper Lim and Lachlan Ramsay)

put in continued strong performances, and Mitre (Nathan Chan, Joshua Morgan, Max Helmer, Ethan Lau, Andrew Wang, and George Johnson) improved every week and developed into a solid well-performing unit. Congratulations to all members for an excellent season.

Year 7/8 Table Tennis

The 2021-2022 Summer Season was again shortened due to Covid-19 restrictions. Our squad was able to train during Term 4 (2021), then competed in five rounds during Term 1 2022. Our results were very impressive, with our First, Second, Third and Fourth teams undefeated in all their rounds, and our Fifth Team winning two of four rounds. It was pleasing to see our Second and Third Teams winning all their matches against other First teams they played, and our Fifth team won two matches against some of their higher ranked opponents. Our excellent match results attest to the effectiveness of our training program and the attitude and talent of all players in our squad. Our top five players this season were Lachlan Lee, Jerry Hao, Aaron Zhuang, Joseph Ni, and Lachlan Huang. Most Valuable Player points were awarded after each round; our MVPs this season were Lachlan Lee, Joshua Dunne and Ethan Lin.

I was particularly pleased with the attitude and effort of our new players, including those from Year 7, and I look forward to seeing them continue to develop their skills next season. To the Year 8s moving up to the next level, I wish you every success in 9/10 Table Tennis, or other selected sport. We are fortunate to have a great coach in Joe Gerada and on behalf of all our players I would like to thank him and his coaching staff for their professionalism, guidance, and encouragement this season.

Taekwondo

The Camberwell Grammar Taekwondo squad had a mostly uninterrupted season and was greeted with some new faces, including our new Head Coach, Mr Michael Barta (5th Dan Black belt). In addition to fresh faces, Michael brought a new arrangement to training, introducing new styles of Taekwondo, new skills, and new knowledge particular to competitive Taekwondo. It was decided that training would be divided between this competition training and more traditional Taekwondo, such as the conventional Poomsae (patterns) and the more practical self-defence aspects of Taekwondo. Unfortunately, Michael became ill during the season, so we welcomed back the familiar face of our previous coach, Bounthavy Khanhalikham, otherwise known as BK, to advance our training in the interim. Naturally, the wisdom and advice from our Assistant Coach

Mr Hamish Green (2nd Dan Black belt) was welcomed throughout the season, as he worked with Michael and the students to improve any and all aspects of their Taekwondo.

After a term of training, most Jeja (students) completed their gradings, with Henry Allison progressing to Cho Dan Bo (a probationary black belt) and Lachlan Khuu receiving his 2nd Dan Black belt (black belt with 2 stripes).

Congratulations to all students on another successful season, and we look forward to continuing to refine our skills in future seasons.

First VIII Tennis

The First VIII Tennis team had a successful season, winning the Premiership for the second consecutive year. The squad welcomed Joey Govenlock and, later in the season, Mattias Ho as regular players with the remainder of the squad being carried over from last season. Andrew Lee was named Captain, a role he fulfilled with measured doses of flair, performance, showmanship, and commitment.

All the members in the squad are to be commended for their commitment to training, their support for each other, and their respect for the game – all of which contributed to their outstanding performances this season. A goal for this year was to further develop the doubles skills and discipline of the players, and they responded terrifically, establishing dominance over the other teams in this aspect of their matches. A significant improvement this year was the team’s performance under pressure. A very impressive record in tie-breaks highlighted the focus the players were able to apply to their matches – they won 9 out of 10 tie-breaks. With strong wins over the best teams,

Ivanhoe and PEGS, in the regular season, Camberwell Grammar entered the final as favourites, having been undefeated since the start of 2021. The start of the final was very close and with a 2-2 score line in the initial doubles matches, the team was under pressure. However, the depth of the team came to the fore, and Camberwell Grammar dominated the remaining matches to convincingly win the 2022 Premiership.

Camberwell Grammar’s best two players’, Matthieu Gibert and Lachlan O’Neill, performances over the whole season were recognised and rewarded with selection in the AGSV Representative Team, which successfully defeated the APS in the summer season finale. The First VIII Tennis home courts have transitioned from Deepdene to Leason Street successfully with the new facility widely acclaimed by visiting teams as a premier venue. Parent, and Friends of Tennis, support has been great throughout the season, and the services of Mr Peter Owen as Head of Tennis have, as always, been exemplary.

Mr Manfred Pietralla Teacher in Charge

Second Tennis

The Second Tennis team continued their streak of domination in the 2022 season. Led by the fearless Miss Crockett, the Second team remained undefeated for the entire season. This is a testament to all the hard work put into training each Thursday morning, battling through the often-rainy weather, and putting in their all each week. The new additions of Year 11s in the team of Freddie Askew and Jacob Clark quickly made their mark on the team and earned their place with blood sweat and tears, becoming quite the dynamic duo as a doubles pair.

The Year 12s also returned to their last season ready to go out with a bang, with great improvement from Hugo Thornton, Ethan Aw, and Scott Zheng who continued to show their improvement season after season. Regardless of Daniel Meagher’s often laid-back approach to the game and questionable under-arm serves, he made his singles matches look like a walk in the park and obliterated his opponents. Scott Zheng’s consistent all-round game continued to shine throughout the season, winning all his singles matches by his powerful serve and 1-2 punch to finish his points off with ease. Hugo Thornton’s serve became quite the weapon in his 2022 season, and he arguably hit the most aces (but also most double faults) throughout the season.

Alec McDougall’s light touch while volleying and an improvement to his serve speed saw him succeed most weekends. The everso-reliable Will Govenlock continued to hold the team together with his consistent playing style, athleticism, and hustling to every ball, which infuriated the opponents and resulted in them making countless errors. Ethan Aw’s game improved dramatically over the summer break and allowed him to use his consistent ground strokes to tire out his opponents and put away point after point with ease. Marcus Peeters-Williams’ left-handed magic was again on full display throughout the season, and he used his height to his advantage to stomp over his opponents at the net and put away easy volleys and smashes.

Finally, the late addition of Kevin Wang to the team was greatly welcomed, his unique slices and fine touch of the ball in close quarters allowed him to finesse his opponents as if he was putting on a masterclass. In summary, thanks to all the Second Tennis lads for another successful season. Thanks to all the Year 12s who have played Tennis their entire school career and

who put in hundreds of hours of work over the years. We cannot wait to see what the upcoming Year 11s have to continue this streak of domination. And thanks to our coach and manager Miss Crockett, whose vast collection of Ash Barty shoes gave the players the inspiration they needed each week.

Alec McDougall Captain

Third Tennis

The Third Blue Tennis team had a most enjoyable and successful season. The players enjoyed themselves tremendously on the Jack Tobias Oval courts on the splendid summer mornings and refined their Tennis skills considerably throughout the season. Some of the rounds provided very close competition, with players having to demonstrate impressive commitment and tenacity to achieve such great wins. It was most heartening that they remained keen and competitive until the end of all their games. Throughout the season, team members always conducted themselves impeccably and displayed admirable fellowship in their interactions. Congratulations to Hayden Wong on obtaining the Most Valued Player Award and to Andrew Hare on receiving the Coach’s Award. Well done to all members of the team for their generosity of spirit and superb sportsmanship during what was a very positive season.

For the Third Gold team, despite interruptions to training for various legitimate reasons, the team managed to gel and come together and support each other in the most commendable of ways, staying back till the last ball was served over the net. This is the kind of sportsmanship and comradery that any coach would praise and be proud to be a part of.

Daniel Stephen was consistently good and so too were Lachlan McFarland and James Ciro. The team in general was keen to take advice and listened in on how to change their games when the geometry of the court did not quite square with how they imagined it to be. Thanks to all the students for their efforts and encouragement: their work and dedication saw the team go through undefeated. You cannot ask for a better effort than that.

Mr James Victor and Mr Vincenzo Piscioneri Teachers in Charge

Fourth Tennis

The Fourth Tennis teams had a truncated season due to the lockdowns of 2021 but returned with a notable level of enthusiasm to start the year in 2022. There were also a slightly reduced number of schools taking part in the competition, but the players enjoyed the prospect of hosting teams for matches and travelling to opposition courts after the prolonged absence of sport. Several highly competitive fixtures were played with tight score totals recorded with many notable individual performances by team members.

The Gold team had a highly successful season in the measure of wins recorded and they achieved comprehensive victories against Mentone and Yarra Valley.

Richard Liu and James Alexandrakis made a formidable doubles pairing, serving with conviction to overpower their opponents.

The Gold team faced off with Mentone in the second last round of the season. A hard-fought win by Gabriel Guorgi and Joshua Hu drove Camberwell into the singles matches level on sets with their Mentone counterparts. Gabriel delivered an impressive 6-3 victory in his singles match, while Joshua demonstrated composure, winning in the tie-break after being down 3-5 games. A superb effort by Isaac Tan delivered Camberwell Grammar the victory, continuing their undefeated run.

The Mitre and Blue teams may not have notched up the same number of team wins over the season, however, in the individual sets, games, and points played, there were many wins in terms of individual commitment and collective team spirit. This was exemplified by the Mitre team’s match against Yarra Valley, finishing equal on sets won only to lose by one game. Robert Johnston’s marathon singles match stood out, going to a tie-break, and grabbing the match of the day.

Mr Brian McManus Teacher in Charge

Year 10 Tennis

It was a stellar season for the Year 10 Tennis teams. The 10B team was strengthened in all positions, with strong singles competitors in Nick Dillon, Matthew Tong and Michael Bao, along with fearful double combinations including ‘The Ethans’ in Ethan Huang and Ethan Mak, and the entertaining (but somewhat unreliable) Raphael Champion and Hamish Westcott duo. Tony Zhang, the marathon man, demonstrated a determination to win, despite being 4-0 down in the final set of the season at a cold, miserable PEGS away venue, recovering to seal the set in a tiebreaker, while Justin Song looked to play almost effortlessly in some singles sets, dominating his opposition. The solid connection between the group, led by a strong unofficial leader in Ethan Huang, allowed for great success throughout the season.

The 10C team was excellent throughout. The consistent and competitive nature of the team made it hard to order the team each week as everyone performed fantastically, further evident through the numerous challengers within the team. Despite this, there was a keen sense of team spirit, highlighted by their dominance in doubles.

With close games interspersed throughout the season, it was amazing to witness the grit and determination within this group, which ultimately saw them pulling through with tightly fought victories in all the rounds and finishing at the top of the standings, undefeated.

Congratulations to all members of this memorable team, and especially to the Most Valued Player Matthew Lau who consistently performed, often without dropping a single game, and Sam Yang for his persistent attitude throughout both games and training. Other notable moments within a great season included outstanding performances from Lucas Rodriguez and Raye Hsieh, team conversations with Allan Huang and snacks with Benjamin Pai.

Mr Andrew Kingham Teacher in Charge

Year 9 Tennis

Not even Covid-19 or bad weather could stop a dominant performance from the 9A Tennis team, who managed to go undefeated the whole season. The team was on form from Round 1, with terrific hitting from Timothy Lee and Kurt Zvirbulis. The second round was no different, with impressive net play from Lachlan Cross. The team went on to have three straight wins to finish the season strong on the back of some great hitting from Thomas Alfieri and Owen Wu.

The 9B Tennis team played an excellent season full of close games, marvellous sportsmanship, and overall comradeship with one another. The fellowship of the students was highly apparent through their bright demeanour and attitude despite early games, hot training sessions, and unfavourable match outcomes. This season, the team showcased great skill, competitiveness, and a significant improvement from where they started. A special thank you to Isaac for the excellent training sessions and to Miss George for always being there to support us.

The 9C Blue Tennis team had an awesome season and they all showed excellent sportsmanship and were always willing to give it a go, even if that meant playing more games than they originally wanted to. The team started the season with a loss against Ivanhoe but quickly rallied together as a team to continue with the season, winning three and losing two of their overall games. A special mention to Ethan Yeung, Ashwin Lagana, and Ethan Tan for outstanding performance this season.

The 9C Gold had an overall solid season of Tennis. The team, which suffered through multiple disturbances, such as long bus rides, players moving around other teams, and the fight to get out of bed early won all but one game. With the order being moved weekly and usually playing schools with better sport programs the players fought hard and came up with results that made those tough mornings enjoyable.

Although having a very interrupted season with washouts and forfeits, the 9C Gold Tennis team persisted against all opponents. Wilson Zhou showed great strength as he smashed the balls passed his competitors, too fast for them to return. Toby Sharrock’s positive teamwork led to some great wins against other AGSV teams. All in all, the 9C Gold team demonstrated the attributes of a classy Camberwell Grammar team with Integrity and Respect.

William Georges and Charlie Weickhardt

Year 8 Tennis

A super competitive effort from the 8A team this year. The players displayed sportsmanship each week no matter the circumstances. Ashanth Prabaharan and Nathan Chan solidified the top two seeds each week, and the rest of the team was always willing to rotate seedings to make sure everyone had a fair go.

The epitome of fun is how the 8B Tennis team would be described this year. Always playing with maximum effort and encouraging each other no matter the score. The matches were always competitive, and the strength of the team was tested each week, even by our 8C teams. The doubles pairing of Maximilian Coia and Maxwell Korganow (Max squared) always played well as the number 1 seeded team, and the doubles pairing of Tom Green and Dean Tsigounis (Team Green Bean) always provided entertainment to anyone that had the privilege to see them play. The team was always friendly with all. Including opponents and other Camberwell Grammar teams. It was a real pleasure to get to know the teams this year.

With the interruptions of lockdowns now behind them, the students in the 8C Gold and Blue teams keenly and resolutely commenced their playing of tennis for the School in Term 1. Over the course of this season, they paired up collaboratively in doubles matches, then proceeded with singles matches thereafter. They increasingly displayed their passion and talent for the game and certainly managed to secure a few wins as the season ended. All the players should be commended for the positive and supportive attitude with which they played the game and, moreover, represented Camberwell Grammar.

Mr Peter Zagarn and Mr Samuel Gough Teachers in Charge

Year 7 Tennis

The season began with the students travelling to the Camberwell Grammar Tennis courts at Leason Street, as we quickly sorted the students into teams before the first Saturday matches. One of the benefits of this was that all students were able to get to know each other.

For the students who had already played tennis before, the season provided an opportunity to further develop their skills. In particular, becoming more familiar with how to play doubles in different pairings was a key aspect of training. Furthermore, gaining a greater understanding of where to position oneself when both serving and receiving serves was another area where students developed their knowledge.

Some students had not previously taken to a Tennis court, and this was their first introduction to playing the game. They benefited from training sessions that focused on how to serve, to ensure play could begin, as well as the intricacies of how to move about the court and keep score accurately.

This year, Trinity had many teams entered in the Year 7 competition, so the students often found themselves travelling to Bulleen to face some fierce competition. A few games were held on Friday afternoons and it was encouraging to see how students conducted themselves after a long week of adjusting to Year 7 and also having their sporting commitments at this time of the week.

Gino Yao, Jayan Rajakumar, and Alexander Kyriakou received Most Valuable Player Awards for their respective teams, reflecting their strong on-court performances. Shawrya Singh, Maxwell Soo, and Lachlan Kelly received their team’s Coach’s Award, recognising their enthusiasm and commitment to playing.

Congratulations to all students on their first season of Camberwell Grammar Tennis. Hopefully, this season is just the start of many more Saturday mornings of playing Tennis.

Triathlon

A triathlon is an endurance multi-sport race consisting of an open water swim, cycle, and finishing with a run. The school enters its students into either the Fun Tri distance for the younger and less experienced athletes, which consists of a 150m swim, 7km ride followed by a 1.2km run; for the older and more experienced racers, there is an opportunity to compete in the Sprint Distance, a 500m swim, 20km ride and 5km run. Our squad this year was lucky enough to have been coached by the legendary Olympian and Commonwealth Games medallist Craig Mottram, along with the help of teachers and fellow triathletes, Dr Smith and Mr Allen. I’m sure I can say, on behalf of the rest of the squad, how grateful we are that we have been guided and coached by such talented and passionate people. I have no doubt that the enthusiasm from our coaches has led to major improvements across the whole team.

In early November, the students headed down to the freezing waters of Elwood for the first race of the 2021/22 season. After Covid-19 interrupted a couple of weeks of training, the lads were ready to put their hard work to the test. Being treated to the best weather of all season, the students went out and laid down some decent times that would act as goals to beat in the next couple of races. As per usual, star swimmer Ryan Humphries was the first of the sprinters out of the water, not too far behind him was Lucas Rodriguez and Lachlan Harker. Lucas took to the bike with ease, recording a time almost three minutes faster than the second quickest Camberwell Grammar competitor, thus Lucas sat in first position heading into the second transition. Billy Swingler’s incredible running strength was put on show to finish off the first race of the season with him recording an impressive 18-minute run, passing Lucas and taking out the first position amongst the Camberwell Grammar competitors.

As the season progressed, the squad was able to, for the first time in two years compete in the full six races of the series with the added incentive of perfect weather conditions in five of these events. Traversing Port Phillip Bay from St Kilda to Sandringham, the now mature squad of triathletes had a record number of entrants competing in the longer Sprint Distance events with still a strong contingent in the shorter Fun Tri distance. The everpresent camaraderie and competitive nature within the squad enabled several of the triathletes to post season-best times.

A huge congratulation to all triathletes who competed for the School this year. It’s been a treat to watch you all develop and build upon your performances every week at training. Of particular note are the following students that successfully completed all six races: Billy Swingler, Elliot Fry, Jack Dobbyn, Marcus Liew, Kaan Ong, Patrick Watson and Owen Henderson. Furthermore, Patrick Watson was the most improved triathlete of the season, Owen Henderson received the Rookie Award and Lucas Rodriguez was awarded the Collins-Allen award for exceptional performance throughout the season.

In the schools competition, the squad narrowly missed out on 3rd position to finish 4th out of a total of 18 participating schools. This is an outstanding result, however next season will present an opportunity for the squad to further improve upon this position.

Volleyball

First VI Volleyball

The First VI Volleyball team began the competition before school began. We played Marcellin at the Trinity Gym. We lost that match but by the time the season ended mid-March, we were winning consistently. Our scores were not enough to make the finals, but under the superlative coaching of Sean Kennedy and the inspiring leadership of team Captain Gregory Kerdemelidis and Vice Captain Zachary Kyriakos, the students became a first-class team.

Each week spectators would see the spectacular leaps from Greg and Colin Jiang as well as Ming Han Low’s accurate serving. Aden Shinnick and Hugo Akse saved many possible scoring points at the net. The strong middle players Michael Hare, Nicolaas Bray and Alexander Choong were always fast and athletic in their play. Our libero, Zachary often slid across the court on his stomach making a low save! The core group from 2021 was joined during the season by Hamish Collett, who could produce demon serves; and Kayson Wang who was steady across the middle. Another newcomer, David Li was also a solid performer. The three players were all an asset to the team.

Every Saturday morning, we made the long trek down the Monash to the State Volleyball Centre, a great echoey barn of a building in Dandenong. Even the matches lost were exciting and hard-fought. A group of parents watched every match, and the students appreciated their support.

Most of the team are in Year 12 and will be leaving Camberwell Grammar at the end of the year and must pass the baton to the younger players. They enjoyed playing Volleyball and we hope they will have opportunities to continue playing in 2023.

Mrs Julie McCarthy Teacher in Charge

Second Volleyball

All three Second Volleyball teams seemed to enjoy the season as it progressed. Playing at Monash University among other venues can, at times, be a daunting experience. However, the resilient and competitive nature of all Camberwell Grammar players allowed them to play their game and perform to the best of their ability.

All three teams encountered a mixed bag of results, with many matches being close. Whatever the outcome was, all players left the court feeling satisfied with themselves and with a great sense of achievement. Well done on a successful season and hopefully many will continue playing Volleyball next season and beyond.

Mr John Catanzariti Teacher in Charge

Years 9/10 Volleyball

The three 9/10 Volleyball teams – Blue, Gold and Mitre –enjoyed successful seasons in 2021-22, with the Blue and Gold teams posting over twice as many wins as losses. When the Blue team took to the court, observers were thrilled by Xander Lee’s great on-court leadership, Will Aldred’s electric enthusiasm and dramatic jump serves, and Ross Armstrong’s reliable all-round play; George Kitsoulis, Anson Lim, Arya Noor, Silas Qian, Bach Tran, Lucas van Koert and Chauncey Yu all contributed to the team’s dynamic style of play.

On the Gold team, Declan Collett’s skilful digs and Arthur Lau’s net play and spikes helped propel the team to victory, supported by James Chan, Lucas Chin, James Condello, William Jenkin, William Linehan, Callam McClure, James Tsang, Max Yu and Elias Zakkas.

Finally, the Mitre team, spearheaded by Byron Zhang, Calvin Wang and Lachlan Wong, whose athleticism, focus at training and positive spirit inspired the team, comprising Jay Babbar, Noah Conn, Nigel Khong, Kelvin Le, Jaiden Lee, Ronan Mahaffy, Henry Segal, and Gilbert Zhang. It was a pleasure each week to watch the three teams work together to improve their skills at training, and grateful thanks are extended to the three external coaches, Zach, Allen and Noah for all their expert assistance.

Finally, congratulations to each student on their participation and progress as a volleyballer: you have been a credit to yourselves and your school and built a strong foundation for continuing development in years to come.

Mr Tebb Kusserow Teacher in Charge

Years 7/8 Volleyball

The 2022 Volleyball season for 7/8 Volleyball began with training with some of the new Year 7s getting to know the Year 8s. It was amazing to see quite a few Year 7s playing the sport. Our match results weren’t preferable for us, having only losses until the last game, which we won. Every match we put up a tough fight but just not tough enough. But the match we won was worth all the matches we lost, defeating another school full of giants.

Over the season we got better and better to eventually get our win. Our team has been extremely good at taking away roadblocks, such as taller opponents, hard to retrieve balls and skilled backrow players. Overall, we had a good and fun season despite the losses and everyone on the team improved a substantial amount.

An enormous thanks to Coach Mr Noah Anderson for coaching us very well and to Ms Eckersley for managing the team.

Samuel Page and Ari Hatzicostas Captain and Vice Captain

The Water Polo season recommenced this year after a two-year layoff. It was pleasing to see so many Camberwell Grammar students enjoying their games in our 3 Divisions: Junior (2 teams), Intermediate (2 teams), and Seniors (2 teams).

All match days this year were held on a Friday evening, with the Juniors playing in our pool, and the Intermediates and Seniors journeying to Ivanhoe Grammar.

Coaches Jack Amling, Corey McCabe, and Kaylah Young (Juniors); Matthew Bryson (Intermediates); and Chris Kerdemelidis (Seniors) did a superb job preparing their teams for competition each week. Due to the two-year Covid-19-enforced absence, there were many new players being introduced to the sport. Special thanks to Mr Connor Mara for all his organisation and administrative work.

The Juniors treated the season as a learning phase and did their best in each game played. The Intermediate A team is to be congratulated for winning the Intermediate trophy, with Captain Lucas Rodriguez happy to present the trophy to the Headmaster at Assembly.

The Senior teams gave their best and performed creditably throughout the season.

Community

Support Groups

Parents’ Association

In 2022, we have progressively shrugged off the Covid-19 years and returned to a normal year of activities at Camberwell Grammar. I know all Camberwell Grammar parents are very appreciative of this fact.

The 2022 year for the Parents’ Association commenced with our Welcome Back Drinks for the parents over three great evenings for Junior, Middle, and Senior Schools. All three evenings were very well attended and a sure sign that the parents wanted to get back together and catch up with their old friends, make new ones, and reconnect with Camberwell Grammar staff. A key objective of these drinks is this commitment by the PA to foster this ongoing and important connection between the parents and the School.

During the year, the PA held a very successful Gala at the Melbourne Museum for almost 400 parents and staff. This event was organised by Dr Kath Lok and her wonderful support team which made it an amazing night for everyone.

The Friends of Groups, throughout the year, were very active around the School as all the student activities returned to their normal operating rhythm. We are very fortunate at the School to have a fantastic level of parental support across all the student’s activities, and this support provides not only financial support but, more importantly, a great deal of moral support for the students and the creation of many friendships between the parents.

As always, the Auxiliary has continued with the making of the legendary Camberwell Grammar Christmas Puddings and they will again be available this year. The PLUS shop has continued to provide a great service to the parents around the provision of Pre-loved school uniforms. The provision of this service to the parents allows for the recycling of clothing, an important part of the circular economy and sustainability.

The Year Representatives were back in full swing this year with many activities that allowed the parents to socialise with other parents in their son’s year. These were very well attended and a part of what drives our community around the School.

A most successful Open Day was held in perfect weather this year and I would like to thank all the parent support groups and Dr Hicks and his team for making it such a wonderful day.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their ongoing support and a big thank you to Mr Ryan Whitehead and Mrs Karley Knight for the large amount of support that they provide to the parents in supporting all the various activities. Also thanks to the PA Executive for all their support and hard work that they provide to the Parents’ Association.

Mr Stuart Harker President

Camberwell Grammar School Auxiliary

Puddings have gone full swing ahead again this year, albeit with some post-Covid measures in place.

We are so happy to see parents who have missed out on our pudding-mixing days in the past few years, sign up and join us in some sorely missed community enrichment interactions. What better way to reconnect with the School and make new friends.

Open Day was also a hit with lots of baked goods and memorabilia sold. The Camberwell Grammar School spirit is truly alive with all our wonderful parent volunteers who are what makes the Auxiliary a success.

Ms Tehlin Yang and Mrs Roula Andreopoulos Co-Convenors

Middle School and Senior School Representatives

It has been wonderful to restart year-level events in 2022. The representatives have been industriously organising functions and social activities.

There have been lots of coffee catchups and parent dinners across all year groups, while the students have enjoyed multiple movies and paintball sessions through the winter months, well attended by all.

The pleasant spring/summer weather enabled outdoor get-togethers for the first time in two years, finishing 2022 on a high note.

A huge thank you to all the year-level representatives for their fabulous endeavours in bringing the School community together.

Mr Gordon Barnes Convener

Cadet Auxiliary

Cadet Auxiliary enjoyed a busy year supporting our Cadet Unit. Fundraising BBQs and an Open Day stall enabled the Auxiliary to provide essential equipment to the Unit this year, including a portable generator and WiFi. Commemorative frames were again presented to Year 12 Cadets at the Annual Cadet dinner, celebrating their achievement and contribution to the Unit.

Our Auxiliary welcomes Doug Rutter as Convenor for 2023, with a dedicated team remaining on the Auxiliary for next year.

For parents who would like to contribute to their son’s cadet experience, the Auxiliary is a friendly and welcoming group supporting the Unit.

Mr Garth Campbell-Cowan Convenor

Friends of Aquatics

To the Squad’s delight, the Camberwell Grammar Swimming Squad won the AGSV Swimming Championships for the second year in a row. This success reflects the Squad’s consistent efforts in training and teamwork, and the dedication of their coaches, captains, and parents.

It has been a joy to bring the teams together to celebrate the Swimming presentation night, a lunch to start off the Water Polo season, and an afternoon event to launch the 2022/2023 swimming season.

The Swimming and Water Polo teams are inclusive and connected, and balance perfectly the striving for strong competition and the fun of being in the pool.

Ms Laura Racky President

‘A huge thank you to all the year-level representatives for their fabulous endeavours in bringing the School community together.’

Friends of Baseball

Play Ball! We got on the diamond after the Covid-19 break with the help of our wonderful CGS/NBBC Baseball community coaching, scoring, and umpiring.

MWBL season started in April with four, full Camberwell Grammar teams (U13, 2xU15, U17) having great matches pitching, batting, and catching throughout the rounds to the end of August. Families enjoyed pizza and coffee carts, chatting, learning, and debating the rules. Our U13 and U15 Blue had a great run into Finals and U17 Firsts backed up their 2021 top-of-ladder Covid-19 win by playing the whole Finals series, winning U17 Premiers 2022!

Our Open Day stall proudly displayed the Winners Shield and lots of budding baseballers had a go at the Tee-ball activity whilst enjoying large pretzels and American sodas.

See you at the Ballpark!

Mrs Juliette Mills and Mr Tim Rigby  Co-Convenors

Friends of Basketball

2021/22 was a busy basketball season with 34 teams and 300 students enjoying their Basketball. Everyone was thrilled to have a full season played with Covid-19 restrictions behind us, which meant that spectators were able to attend and support our players. The Firsts once again made it to the grand final with an exciting game against Marcellin. The atmosphere was amazing with chanting and singing by the spectators from both schools.

At the completion of the season, we had a great presentation evening hearing from our Captains about the very successful season, MVPs and Coaches’ Awards were presented, families enjoyed pizza, and the students were inspired by NBL basketballer Tristan Forsyth. We’re all looking forward to another hugely exciting season of Basketball!

Mrs Kylie Bishop Vice President/Secretary

Friends of Cricket

We approach the 2022-23 season with great anticipation after the disrupted two years preceding. Last season’s close was attended by over 160 students, parents, teachers, and coaches. Sam Powell (CGS First XI 2010-13) addressed the audience and presented the awards.

This year, our opening event was highlighted by the insightful and inspiring guest Joel Hamilton. The First XI was announced and students in all other teams were acknowledged.

In addition to complimenting home games on the KAO with BBQs, Friends of Cricket have also purchased distinctly Camberwell Grammar ‘wrapped stumps’, for these games.

With eight teams playing across all year levels, we look forward to an engaging, enjoyable, and successful season at Camberwell Grammar in this most extraordinary game.

Mr Frank Chen Convenor

Friends of Cycling

The 2022 Cycling season took off as scheduled. It was very exciting to see the students training again, including Friday morning on-campus training, Wednesday nights’ training rides at the Kew Teardrop, and the Victorian Inter-School Cycling Series 2022 events. The competition days were attended by enthusiastic parents who help to set up for the day and provide support to the students while they race.

The older students shared their experiences with the younger ones. There were plenty of opportunities to talk about tactics in the Camberwell Grammar marquee, as students prepared for their own races. After years of dedication to riding and many successes on the track, we have another cohort of experienced riders who are leaving the School this year. We thank them for their dedication, wish them well for the future, and hope that they will keep in touch. Some of them may return to coach their former teammates. As always, we look forward to welcoming new members who share a passion for our beautiful sport.

Early this year, we received a very generous donation of a road bike which will be available for a loan to students who are interested in taking up Cycling.

Mr Paul Klebanowski Convenor

Friends of Football

We had a very successful season launch in April at the Gordon Barnard Reserve function room. There were 160 people in attendance with Nathan Buckley as the guest speaker. We introduced all of the coaching staff for the year and the First XVIII were presented with their jumpers.

Presentation night was a big event with over 270 students and their families attending the night. Friends of Football worked very closely with the Head of Football, Neill Connell, and we are very excited to support Neil with the Football program at the School.

Friends of Football organised catering on a fortnightly basis for the First XVIII after training to review footage from the game. This helps the coaches teach by using the footage, which was very successful. It is also pleasing we have added new members to the committee, and we have a good representation amongst all year levels.

Friends of Football looks forward to supporting the School’s 2023 Football season.

Mr Robert Grlj President

Friends of Kayaking

Friends of Kayaking supports the Kayaking program, helping with events, BBQ welcomes, fundraising, and the hard task of socialising on the side of various rivers. The students have been able to resume Kayaking for the 2021/22 season and have attended a number of events.

We ran a Kayaking ergo competition at Open Day using the ergos purchased by Friends of Kayaking last year. There was a lot of participation, enthusiasm, and fun.

We are all looking forward to our biggest event of the year, the Ben Ward on the Murray River in December.

Mr Tim Scotter President

Friends of Library

Despite all the issues with Covid-19 lockdowns, Friends of Library were able to hold our second-hand textbook collection days in early December and work with I Love Books. While the dropoffs were not as busy as in the previous year, a large number of books were still collected, and we were able to satisfy all of the textbook needs for the Indigenous scholarship students.

It was also very pleasing to see the number of books that parents were happy to donate to the Les Twentyman Foundation.

Open Day was a lovely celebration of the School, with Friends of Library selling second-hand fiction and picture story books, as well as books from Scholastics. The monies from this will help support the Junior and Senior School libraries with new resources.

Ms Narelle Kossatz and Mrs Vivienne Katsoulotos Co-Covenors

Friends of Hockey

Friends of Hockey aims to support Camberwell Grammar’s Hockey program and the engagement and development of the players throughout their Hockey journey and across all year levels.

This year saw the return of most activities, including a well-attended season launch with round-robin games; the provision of subsidised new player starter kits; the continuation of the well-received twiceyearly masterclass clinics; the First XI team dinner; an all-year presentation night; and our famed Open Day souvlaki stall. Despite falling just short of the AGSV premiership, the broader Hockey program had an extraordinarily successful year – congratulations!

Mr Greg Bosmans President

Friends of Norge

The Friends of Norge is made up of Junior School parents that help organise year-level social functions and Junior School major events.

In 2022, we had splendid success with a great turnout at our events, namely the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Breakfasts, Footy Day, and Open Day. Friends of Norge also co-sponsored a new mural around the lower quad of the Junior School that added colour and vibrancy to the space.

After three years in office, Viviana Yong, Lydia Dwijayanti, and myself will be stepping down from our roles at the end of the year. We are very grateful to all class representatives, parent volunteers, and staff for the support they’ve given us in making this experience a fun and enjoyable one.

Ms Debbie Cheong Convenor

Friends of Performing Arts

2022 has been hugely successful. With many performances able to proceed this year, Friends of Performing Arts (FOPA) added to the vibe by providing refreshments at all on-site performances, including the Chamber Concert, Jazz Night, the Three Penny Opera, and The Time Machine

The year was rounded off at Open Day with the hugely popular paella and sangrias on offer. Thank you to our wonderful FOPA community. Your fun, energy, and volunteering efforts are to be treasured. Without you, we would not be where we are today as a group.

If you would like to be part of the FOPA action next year, please join us. We welcome all parents.

Mrs Karen Ellwood-Branson Convenor

Friends of Snowsports

The snow season was one to remember with excellent conditions, incredible participation in Family Week, and two gold medal performances in the Victorian Inter-School Competition. The Snowsports community has never been stronger with a great representation of families across primary and secondary levels, growing participation in the Snowsports program at the School, and great comradery.

In the second week of the July school holidays, nearly 130 people participated in Falls Family Week. This is a wonderful tradition that allows the students to train ahead of formal competition and for families to gather socially. The conditions were superb.

In August, Camberwell Grammar had one of its strongest representations of students competing. Our team spirit was matched with a strong visual team presence with our official Camberwell Grammar ski jackets unifying the team.

Our motto has always been to come and do your best, and it was great to see first-time competitors, as well as more experienced skiers, participating. And do your best we did with plenty of personal bests and achievements, and two incredible gold medal moments – Arvin Aminazad in Division 6 and his older brother Arya Aminazad in the top division.

New friendships have been made on and off the slopes, a great many hands have contributed to bringing this community together, and we look forward to continuing the Snowsports tradition in the years to come.

Mrs Rebecca Parker Convenor

Friends of Soccer

Soccer remains one of the most popular sports at Camberwell Grammar, and in 2022 over 300 students participated. Friends of Soccer was privileged to continue supporting the Soccer program, and the season kicked off with a fabulous sausage sizzle on the KAO where the Firsts were presented with their training jerseys.

The end-of-season presentation evening was another highlight, with over 160 people attending. Our guest speaker for the evening was Anthony Frost, our First XI Coach. Our emcee, Dr Moses Khor, kept the evening lively, and Jensen Ma conducted a thrilling auction.

Open Day provided us with a new opportunity to connect with our community, running a coffee cart service, and many new parents took the opportunity to enjoy a cappuccino while speaking with us about Soccer at the School.

Mrs Julie Cooke President

Friends of Tennis

The School Tennis courts at Leason Street were a hit with the students and allowed for a successful and enjoyable season of Tennis across all year levels. The season concluded with a hugely popular, and well attended, Presentation Night where the students were able to test their serving speed using a speed gun before getting some helpful tips from Ash Barty’s former coach, Craig Tyzzer. More recently, we were able to get a team from Grill’d to cook burgers for us on Open Day.

Mrs Karen Treagus and Mr Richard Nash Co-Convenors

PLUS

PLUS continues to be an important Camberwell Grammar community hub, reflecting the School’s values around sustainability and principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle. Volunteer roster numbers are booming, stock is turning over, with regular distribution of items to charity. Strong demand for PLUS continued in 2022, with an increase in sales on the previous year of over 12%, a staggering $50,000 worth of second-hand uniforms. Over 1000 individual items were sold in Terms 1 and 2 alone. New families find at PLUS a welcoming smile, a bargain, and an instant connection to the School. Come and visit soon!

Ms Tracey Guorgi Convenor

‘PLUS continues to be an important Camberwell Grammar community hub, reflecting the School’s values around sustainability and principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle’

Open Day 2022

On the first Saturday of Term 4, we were finally able to hold Open Day for the first time in three years. It was a wonderful day; surely one of the best ones ever and we were truly blessed with a beautiful day.

Open Day is an opportunity to open our doors to the wider community and celebrate who we are at Camberwell Grammar School. As always, the students were our best ambassadors, and many past students returned to the School and were amazed by the changes they saw and by the spirit permeating the place.

Ana Barisic

Ana joined the Community and Development Office as Community Engagement Co-ordinator in June 2020 and immediately made her presence felt. Ana had a cando attitude and a strong work ethic, which when combined with her contagious energy, was extremely likeable to staff, parents and alumni alike. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Ana, and she was a breath of fresh air in the office and not once did she complain, no matter how small or frustrating the task at hand was. It is with sadness as we say farewell to Ana who left us to spend time with her beautiful young family. Ana’s sense of fun, energy and organisation will be missed at Camberwell Grammar, but most importantly, it will be her warm and endearing nature that we will miss the most. We wish Ana, Sam and Kiki much happiness.

Mr Ryan Whitehead Head of Community and Development

Di Collins

For the past 15 years, Di Collins has been invaluable as Junior School Deputy Head Administration. Always one to put others before herself, Di dedicated herself to the service of the students families, and the staff of the Junior School. In addition to her administrative duties, Di also taught a day a week in the Prep class, as well as maths enrichment, and was a regular presence in other classes. It was clear that Di enjoyed every day and every interaction, and boys, staff, and parents love and admire her.

When boys were asked to describe Mrs Collins, overwhelmingly they were quick to say she is kind, thoughtful, friendly and smart. Di was passionate about teaching boys to be respectful and to choose ‘being kind’, qualities she naturally modelled just being herself.

Di was always there to help with organising major events such as the Mother’s and Father’s Day Breakfasts and Open Day. She bravely provided assistance every day at student drop off and pickup, and always made herself available to parents requiring information or support.

After a long and distinguished career that wended its way through various state primary schools, Ivanhoe Grammar, Carey Grammar, and, finally, Camberwell Grammar School, the girl from Moe has certainly earned her retirement. She has made her mark on many, young and old. We will miss Di’s delightful sense of humour, her collapses from laughter, and her evercaring nature and generous support of colleagues and families.

Mr Howard Kelly Head of Junior School

Mrs Colleen Jarrett-Burke Head of Learning Enhancement

Will Cordner

When Will Cordner arrived at Camberwell Grammar many ladies and, might I add, a few men gasped. Not just because of his dashing good looks and impish smile, but at the thought he might hit his head on the door frame when he swaggered in like a gangly John Wayne. And, like his beloved Melbourne Demons 2021 Premiership, Will’s time at Camberwell Grammar was good while it lasted. He revelled with and delighted his students, particularly his 8W Form, with his humour and easy-going nature. And even though at times the excitement and enthusiasm he elicited from his students resembled a birthday party with way too much red cordial, they still looked up to him; an advantage of being so tall and, might it be said, genuinely caring. In addition to teaching English and History across Years 7 to 9, Will was also the Middle School Head of Clifford as well as the Team Manager for the Firsts Football team, roles like a lemming on a cliff edge, he threw himself into. Will’s easy laugh, dedication, and khaki chinos will be sorely missed by students and staff alike. Adios Will Cordner.

Mr Andrew Kingham Mathematics & Science Teacher

Clare Jacobsen

Clare Jacobsen came to Camberwell Grammar in September 2021 to fill a maternity leave position as Community Engagement Co-ordinator and endeared herself to the Camberwell Grammar community immediately. Whether it was hosting alumni at a reunion, welcoming donors to a dinner, or comforting parents, Clare treated everyone with the same warm, friendly and professional manner. Clare displayed great initiative, her work ethic was second to none and she took on each and every task with a smile. Clare’s event management experience and organisational skills were a tremendous asset to the School and as such she took things to new heights at Camberwell Grammar. Thank you Clare, we were sad to see you depart the School and wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

Mr Ryan Whitehead Head of Community and Development

Howard Kelly

It is with sadness that we farewell Mr Howard Kelly who has led Camberwell Grammar Junior School for the past 15 years. He is retiring after dedicating 42 years to the teaching profession, 35 of those as Principal.

Howard has been instrumental in creating a culture of inclusivity and a place where boys can thrive. His knowledge of boys’ education has been pivotal in ensuring best teaching practices were embedded into the curriculum and he always ensured that the boys’ needs came first. He made sure that he knew and connected with all the boys in what he fondly referred to as ‘The Village’, the Junior School, tucked away in a corner of the campus. Nothing brought him more joy than making a difference to a boy’s life. He always said, ‘I would rather turn a boy around than turn him away.’

A sense of community was paramount. Howard made everyone feel welcome. He always had an open door where he listened to all who came to see him. Howard has a cheeky sense of humour and was always able to bring a laugh, whether it be at a Parent Welcome function, Assembly or in a chat. He was well known for his ‘Dad jokes’ but they always managed to bring a smile and laugh.

Howard was visionary in bringing new programs and initiatives into the Junior School. He introduced The Leadership Executive where a group of Year 5 students are elected to lead their visions for the School, the Emotional Intelligence program run through Swinburne and Junior School Presents which stemmed from ideas brainstormed in his holidays.

With the focus on learning and growth mindset, Howard created the Camberwell Grammar Yeti. All the boys in the Junior School know that they learn from their mistakes, and we don’t say ‘I can’t do that.’ We say, ‘I can’t do that YET.’ Handing out the certificates at the weekly assembly to celebrate boys striving to reach their best was something he always looked forward to.

Howard has led by example. One example is when he wanted to demonstrate the importance of learning something new, and develop persistence; this is a way to make new neuro pathways so he set himself the task of learning to juggle. He led the Junior School most recently through the pandemic where schooling was flipped on its head and change had to happen fast. He kept the wheels on the track and the train moving.

‘Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence, and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.’Sheryl Sanberg, COO of Facebook. Howard, you have made all who have been in your care better and have definitely made an impact that will last in your absence.

We thank Howard for all the significant and valued contributions he has made and for making our school strong. He will be greatly missed in the village. We hope he enjoys a well-earned retirement in Tasmania with his wife Ann.

Mrs Caroline Gatley Deputy Head of Junior School Curriculum

After over 18 years running the Accounts Payable Department, Ann decided it was time to retire to the wide open spaces of Caroline Springs. During her time here, Ann was a much valued member of the Finance Team and her dedication to the School was exemplary. No task was ever too much trouble for Ann and she was always the first to put her hand up when someone needed some help around the School. The level of compassion and caring Ann displayed towards her friends and colleagues was truly admirable and she was always ready to share helpful hints and tips she learnt along the way. Ann’s enthusiasm and boundless energy are just a couple of the traits that made her such a valuable member of the School community. Ann will be missed dearly by all who had dealings with her (even the ones who were unfortunate enough to have stapled documents before passing them to her).

Mr Graeme Wensor Finance Manager

Rebecca McArdle

After over 8 years running the Payroll Department, Bec decided it was time for a new challenge. During her time here, Bec was a key member of the Finance Team and a much valued friend and colleague to many. Bec worked tirelessly to ensure that all staff were paid accurately and on-time and this is something that everybody was extremely grateful for. Bec was always happy to answer staff members’ queries and provide advice where appropriate whilst acting with the utmost compassion, understanding, and confidentiality. Bec’s commitment to the School, dedication to her job, and kindness towards all members of staff are merely a few of the qualities that made her such a valuable member of the School community. Bec will be dearly missed by all and we wish her all the best in her new career.

Mr Graeme Wensor Finance Manager

Vincenzo Piscioneri

Vincenzio Piscioneri’s departure from the English Department after fifteen years of teaching at the School has marked something like the end of an era. His insistence on the best from his students and the quality of his teaching earned him the respect of many of the students he taught. For those he taught at VCE level, many recognised the value of his insights and the depth of his subject knowledge in both English and Literature. It was Vincenzo’s vision that introduced Units 1 and 2 Literature to the School, a course that very much carried his stamp. Among his colleagues, his humour and generosity in sharing teaching resources, cakes and invitations to dinner was well known: a number of staff have enjoyed the sudden appearance of a home baked birthday cake at different times thanks to his

Ann Kerr

unstinting willingness to share with others. Vincenzo was also a rare combination of erudition and innovative teaching practice that made his lessons always interesting to observe, and occasionally something of a masterclass in curriculum innovation. His understanding of Art History allowed him to bring additional insights to his teaching and the context in which he could place what students encountered in the classroom. We wish him every success as he moves from Camberwell Grammar, knowing he will be missed by many.

Mr Matthew Wood Head of eLearning, English & English Literature Teacher

Peter Robinson

Peter Robinson (Robbo) joined Camberwell Grammar in 1985, teaching in the Middle School where he continued to work until his retirement this year. With his easy-going nature and good humour, he quickly settled into life at the School, approaching everything with his trademark energy and enthusiasm. His contributions were many. Robbo coached Cricket, including, for a number of years, the First XI; he went on school tours to India, ran Middle School Debating, including the JSV Interschool Debating competition, performed in plays, and was an inspirational Head of Clifford House, encouraging the students to do their best for the House in every sporting activity. Peter is a keen cyclist, often going for long rides on the weekend, but also taking spin classes after school on the roof of the new Angliss Building, his words of encouragement to the other cyclists echoing around the School!

A Middle School specialist, Peter Robinson has helped generations of students to establish a secure foundation for their ongoing studies, benefitting from his steady guidance in English and Mathematics. He also took genuine interest in his students’ wellbeing – he was a caring Form Teacher, and his students appreciated his interest in their progress and what was happening in their lives. Always up for a chat, he will also be missed by his colleagues, particularly around the coffee machine each morning.

Throughout his entire career at Camberwell Grammar, Robbo was always ready to put his hand up, to be involved, to try something new. This attitude endeared him to his colleagues and modelled to his students the courage and optimism that we value at this school.

We thank you, Robbo, for all your contributions to Camberwell Grammar, particularly the Middle School. This place would not be what it is without you!

Mr Scott Wyatt Deputy Head of Middle School

My friendship with Gill Silberer began when I was 5 years old. Our fathers both worked in the Law Department in Bendigo and we lived next door to one another. It took five years of working with Gill before we realised this connection. As a 5-year-old, I was not behaving, and unfortunately for Gill (and me), she remembers these early days. As a department, we were very fortunate to have employed her, and have a terrific Accounting teacher, professional colleague, and an all-round good person in the office. Gill has not really left us, and even during lockdowns and earlier this year, she has stepped in to assist us in a multitude of ways. Her reliability and no fuss approach is sorely missed. I am sure we will see her again in the classroom but until then, we wish her a relaxing and busy time with her grandchildren as she transitions into retirement.

Mr Andrew Warne Head of Commerce & Legal Studies Coordinator

Danielle Thuringer

Danielle joined the Senior School Science Department at a difficult time in 2021, which was made even tougher as we were plunged into lockdown once again. Despite having less than a week of faceto-face interaction, Danielle managed to form lasting relationships with each of her classes. Students enjoyed her lessons that often included a mention of her dog, Murphy. Danielle continued at Camberwell Grammar in 2022, taking on Middle School Mathematics and Science, where she quickly integrated herself into both departments. As one of the few Americans at the School, Danielle was a natural fit for management of the Baseball teams during the Winter Season. We wish her all the best in her new teaching role and have no doubt she will find success in her future endeavours.

Min Zhang

Min Zhang worked at Camberwell Grammar for more than 25 years before her retirement in 2022. She was the first Chinese teacher who came from Beijing and spoke the Beijing dialect. She worked in Junior, Middle and Senior School and taught Chinese to students across all the levels. Min was a good team player and was actively engaged in the development of learning and teaching resources, as well as VCE oral and written assessment. She was also involved in various Chinese cultural activities and excursions. We would like to thank her for her contributions to Chinese teaching at Camberwell Grammar and wish her all the best with her retirement.

PETER THODEY

1921 – 22 March 2022

Peter was a past member of staff between 1951-54, when he left for Wesley, and Macneil Housemaster from 1953-54. He was also a valued member of the Theatre Guild (Drama club) during his time at Camberwell Grammar.

RONALD JOHN PARKER, OAM (1939)

24 May 1923 – 19 December 2021

The Camberwell Grammar community was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gallery of Achievement member, Ron Parker OAM (1939). Ron was also a member of the School Council and the School’s first bursar from 1959 – 1973. After his time at Camberwell Grammar, Ron studied Production Engineering, Accountancy and Business Management at RMIT. Ron was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2012 for Services to the country through a range of volunteer roles.

His voluntary work spanned over 47 years within a wide range of organisations. He served as a volunteer counsellor and support worker in the Emergency Department of the Austin Hospital for 12 years, was a Guide and Education Officer at the Victorian Supreme Court for 10 years, had been a Leader for Neighbourhood Watch for 25 years, and had guided tours at the MCG for 10 years.

His other roles have included Committee memberships, and Executive roles in Lord Somers Camp, Royal Flying Doctor Service, Collingwood Cricket Club, World Ship Society, and the Maritime Heritage Association.

Ron was awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 and Inducted into the Camberwell Grammarian Gallery of Achievement in 2012.

Ron was married to Barbara (dec.) and had three children, Judy, David (1976), and Susie, and six grandchildren.

JOHN HAMILTON SHILLIDAY

2 March 1933 – 22 June 2022

At the end of 1964 Headmaster the Reverend T. H. Timpson announced that Mr John Shilliday (B.A., B.Ed.), the present Senior Housemaster of Toowoomba Grammar – a large boarding school – would be joining the staff of Camberwell Grammar as ‘Senior Master’. The holder of this position in this period was effectively the de facto Deputy Headmaster. Timpson hoped that the appointment of a man with John Shilliday’s qualifications and experience would ensure service with distinction. In this case, the Headmaster’s hopes were realised, as John would serve the School with merit from 1965-71, first under the Reverend Tom Timpson and then his successor, David Dyer.

John immediately made his mark in school life in his first year, coaching the 1st Hockey team, reorganising the Student Representative Council as the ‘Adviser’, founding a Public Speaking Club, and undertaking much of the careers and guidance counselling. He soon expanded his interest in staff football and in the Bushwalking Club, also becoming a committee member of the OCGA. A valued member of what Headmaster Dyer called his ‘capable cabinet of senior masters’, John became additionally noted as an athletics and cross country coach. In 1968 he organized a Camberwell team to participate in the Network Ten TV quiz program ‘It’s Academic’, the team making it through to the semi-final. He was also Head of English, following Max Howell’s departure, holding this position until handing the role on to Tony Brown in 1967.

John was elevated to ‘Head of the Senior School’ in 1970, a recognition of the integral part he was playing in the life of the School. Early in that year, he suggested that golf be introduced as a School sport and, accordingly, Grammarians were able to participate on the links of the Kew Golf Club on Friday afternoons from July. Many participants have gained an affection for this sport that has endured for the rest of their lives.

John’s involvement in the life of the School included his role as the parent of Ian (1979) and as an active member of the Common Room Association, which particularly lamented his departure at the end of 1971 as he had been an active advocate for improving and maintaining staff amenities. John subsequently held two headmasterships; the first at Hamilton College, the second at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School, his time at Camberwell Grammar having given him a strong foundation for his outstanding career in education.

Dr David Bird School Historian and Archivist

It is with great sadness that we record those members of our community who have passed since the last edition of the Grammarian.

For nearly 40 years, Phil made the long journey from his beloved Upwey to the school he loved and taught thousands of students at. He had previously worked at Fawkner High School but had been headhunted by David Dyer to come and work at Camberwell Grammar. While here, Phil taught Mathematics, Economics, Physical Education, Consumer Studies, Accounting, and Legal Studies. He was a House Tutor, Head of House, Head of Commerce, VCE Coordinator, and a valued member of the Staff Executive. When he joined the Executive as Senior Master –VCE Coordination, his outstanding qualities quickly burgeoned. Phil proved himself wonderfully adaptable. He maintained a commitment to the School’s concern for every student and that each one should be facilitated to perform at the highest level of which he was capable. That the VCE results during his time were as impressive as they were, was due in no small measure to his meticulous stewardship of the students in his care.

He was a legend among Accounting teachers. He was on the review committees for numerous Accounting Study Designs, was a VCE Accounting Assessor, and an active member of the Victorian Commercial Teachers Association. He also taught first-year University Accounting. He worked with the VCAA for 10 years preparing the Study Designs for Accounting in Years 11 and 12 and wrote Accounting textbooks for 30 years. He was made a Life Member of the VCTA in 2009 for services to Commerce teaching in Victoria. In the classroom, he set high standards and encouraged his students to work hard so that they would do better than they thought they could.

As in everything, in spite of his status in the profession, he maintained his humility. Every year he would ask Matthew Christopher which Accounting textbook he wanted to put on the booklist for the subsequent year and would always look relieved when Matt would reply, ‘Yours, of course, Phil.’

He participated in every aspect of life at the School that he could, especially in Athletics, Orienteering, and Cross Country – he was Master in Charge of Cross Country for 21 years. He loved that it didn’t matter how fast a student ran or how talented he was –every student had the capacity to run a personal best at each event. He would often run alongside the slower students in the training group, giving them encouragement and tips.

He often quoted his school football coach who encouraged his students with the mantra ‘If it is to be, it is up to me’. Phil adopted that attitude in all he did – if he wanted something done, he wouldn’t wait for someone else, he just got on and got it done. And so much at our school now is, because of him.

Phil would later reflect that teaching was his marathon. He spent 26 years preparing for it and took 42 years to complete it. In all of that time, his desire was to be of service, and to do what he could  for his students and his colleagues: Phil was the consummate schoolmaster.

In Phil’s balance sheet of life, he represents an excellent return on investment. He was kind and loving, he loved his family and they him, he was an enthusiast and optimist with great belief and faith in people and, especially, in the students he taught. He invested fully in living, and I believe that the return on that investment was substantial, and in business terms that it met all ‘the comparable measures of success’. To Phil, success meant achieving what he set out to achieve. He didn’t just want to finish, he wanted to finish to the best of his ability.

Phil believed in and acted out the commitment to excellence and liberal education that characterises great schools such as Camberwell Grammar. He lives on in the memories of his students, his colleagues, and all who loved him.
