AGSV Athletics
As we come to the end of another very busy term, I wish all of our families a relaxing and safe break over the next three weeks. Classes begin again for Term 4 on Monday 7 October 2019. The School Offices will be open as usual throughout the vacation. In particular, I wish our Year 12 students well as they enter the final stages of preparation for their VCE Unit 3 and 4 examinations soon after they return in Term 4. The third week of this coming break will see most of the Year 12s involved in practice examinations held at the School under full examination conditions. I am very grateful to Mr Marcus Jones, and our Senior Staff who make their time available for our students in this way to ensure they have the best possible preparation for the examination period. I encourage each student to prepare as fully as possible for these practice sessions – the more complete the preparation the more the benefit to be derived from the practice. Attached here is the Unit 3 and 4 Trial Examination Timetable.

AGSV Athletics Congratulations and well done to all of the students who competed in the AGSV Athletics Carnival at the Lakeside Oval last Wednesday. So many of our students achieved personal best times, and we won medals in nearly half of all the events, finishing a very creditable fourth overall. Well done to Mr Mark Mews, and all of the Athletic coaches for the great progress made over the short season. Athletics Finals - CGS Records Broken: Under 14 100m

Elva Allan Concert A very big term of music was brought to a conclusion last night at our annual Elva Allen Concert. This concert gives our music scholars the chance to play in small groups across mixed year levels, demonstrating their virtuosity on a variety of instruments in a wonderful chamber music program. The standard of the playing was superb, and I congratulate the boys and their teachers on what they have been able to achieve. We congratulate Isaac Hui (Year 10) on Viola, a very worthy winner of this year’s prestigious ‘2019 Elva Allan Strings Prize’.
Summer Uniform During Term 4 and Term 1, students in the Middle and Senior Schools have the option of wearing summer uniform. Shorts of the approved style may be worn instead of long trousers. The blazer becomes an optional item of uniform. Boys need not wear their blazers to and from School nor at formal School events. The pullover must not be worn as the outermost garment in place of the blazer. Boys may now wear short style (crew) socks as part of their Summer Uniform from the beginning of Term 4. I do appreciate the efforts that parents make to co-operate fully with the School with regard to the appearance of our boys. We can all take great pride in the fact that the vast majority of Camberwell Grammar students wear their uniforms properly, not only at School, but also on the way to and from School.
Open Day - Saturday 12 October A reminder that our annual Open Day will take place on the first Saturday of next Term, commencing at 10.00am with Food Stalls, Subject Displays and Demonstrations, and Sports Matches throughout the day. At 1.00pm the School Cadet Unit will be holding its Passing Out Parade. This event involves both the Cadet Unit’s Passing Out Parade on the Keith Anderson Oval and will act as a formal farewell to our Year 12 students who are leaving the Unit. Open Day gives our School the chance to celebrate our sense of community, our achievements and the work we do with our students. Staff, students and parents come together and we have the chance to show our school off to visitors. Please keep the date free; it would be great to see as many of you there as possible.
