From the Headmaster Remembrance Day Last Monday, at 11.00am, students and staff members gathered at our School flagpole to pause for a minute’s silence in honour of all those men and women who have given their lives fighting in wars for our country. In doing so our intention is not to glorify war, but to remember the courage and the sacrifice which these men and women displayed for us, and we prayed for peace. In memory and respect, students from our Junior, Middle and Senior School laid wreaths at our flagpole (outside the Sports Centre), representing our staff, students, and parents. William Lardner (Year 7) played the Last Post and Rouse very beautifully from the Roystead balcony.
Year 3 Gundawindi Camp
Middle School
All Year 3 students will be spending the first part of next week at the Gundawindi Camp. The boys are very excited about attending the Camp and the program will provide them with the opportunity of many outdoor activities, which will challenge them in ways they do not often experience in the classroom. I am looking forward to hearing some of their adventures upon their return on Wednesday. I am grateful to the teachers who have given up time with their families to be with the students.

Borneo Camp In December, a group of 15 students from Years 10 to 12 will be travelling to Borneo to take part in a community-service based camp, where they will help with a number of local projects designed to improve living standards, health and economic development. They will spend three weeks trekking, working on projects and spending time working with and learning from the people of this isolated region. Forty percent of the costs of the trip go directly to the Borneo communities and the team are seeking your help. As part of their fundraising effort, Ethan Lau (Year 10) and Victor Zhou (Year 10) will be performing in a mini-concert tonight in the Music School at 7.30pm. Seats are still available for $12 and can be booked using the following link: https://www.trybooking.com/572627. For more information about the trip, please visit https://campsinternational.com.au/product/camp-borneojungle-school-expedition/ or contact Mr Roger Devine at RWD@cgs.vic.edu.au or Mr David Rayner at DJR@cgs.vic.edu.au.
