2018 Australian Government Student Residential Address Collection
Year 8 into Year 9 Parents’ Information Evening
The Australian Government Department of Education is seeking to confirm the current residential addresses of our students and their parents/guardians to assist in their determination of funding arrangements. We are required to provide you with a copy of the Data Collection Notice which can be found here. Many of you will have received a request from me earlier this month to complete, sign and return the School’s Administrative and Medical Information Form. This current request from the Department is in addition to and does not replace, that earlier request from me. If you have moved address recently and have not yet advised the School of your current address, could you please contact our Student Records Office on 03 9835 1777 or sro@cgs.vic.edu.au no later than close of business Wednesday, 7 November 2018. No action is required by you in relation to this data collection notice. If you have not however, returned your completed and signed Administrative and Medical Information Form, could you please do so at your earliest opportunity.

Grandparents’ Day It was a pleasure to welcome over 540 grandparents, great grandparents and family friends of boys from all levels to our School last Tuesday. They enjoyed a morning tea in the Performing Arts Centre, followed by a concert involving musicians from all sections of the school. After the concert, our students were excited to then be able to show ‘their’ school to their grandparents and family. I thank and appreciate all those staff, students and parents who work to make the day a great success, and in particular, Mr Ken Schwab, Mr Ryan Whitehead and the Development Office staff, and to the members of the CGS Auxiliary for their assistance. I know that the students who had the opportunity to show their Grandparents around the school, were very proud to do so, and I hope that the Grandparents enjoyed their day too.

Careers Calendar Support Groups
Year 12 Examinations began this week with English, EAL, Economics, Biology and Further Mathematics. Many of our Year 12 students have been visiting the school over the last few days to meet with teachers and to receive final advice and last minute tips. We have all been impressed by the preparation of this year’s Senior class and are confident that they will do their best over this examination period. We offer them our full support and we look forward to celebrating their results with them on Friday 14 December 2018.

Year 8 into Year 9 Parents’ Information Evening On Wednesday 7 November from 7.30pm, in the Auditorium of the Performing Arts Centre, we will be holding an information session for the parents of current Year 8 students who are moving from Middle School to Senior School next year. Students are not required to attend this Information Evening. As part of the evening, we will provide an opportunity for you to meet with your son’s Head of House who will be one of the key Pastoral Care providers during his Senior School years. You will also receive information pertaining to the upcoming Year 8 Camp and have the opportunity to ask questions of any of the staff members during the presentation or after.
