From the Headmaster Building Works and Traffic Flow We have been planning to renovate and expand Kingussie for some time, with a view of moving the Development Office into it. We have now received planning permission from Boroondara Council and have just heard that the builders would like to establish their site and begin work from next week. The works are scheduled to take six months or so to complete. During the works, access to the School property will be somewhat compromised and I ask for your cooperation with School Pick Ups and Drop Offs during this time. The area around Gate 1 in particular will be compromised, so I ask for your patience and cooperation in the following ways: • I would be very grateful if Middle and Senior school families used the Chatfield Avenue Drop Off and Pick Up area, behind the School, leaving Gate 1 access for Junior School families. You may wish to drop your son a block or two away from the School. • The parking spaces in the area in front of Kingussie and fronting Mont Albert Road will be closed to assist with traffic flow in the area. • All staff, parents and visitors parking on site should use the underground car park accessible through Gate 3. • Between 8.00am – 9.00am and 2.30pm – 4.00pm access through Gate 1 will be restricted to Junior School vehicles displaying their name sign. Apologies for the short notice and thank you for respecting these new arrangements which are aimed at keeping our boys safe and traffic flowing.
Year 12 Examinations Our Year 12 students have all now completed their examinations, and we wish them all the very best as we now await their results on Thursday 12 December 2019. This year, for the first time, some offers for tertiary courses will be made before Christmas on Wednesday 18 December, however the main offer round is still in January. Our Careers Counsellor, Mrs Lynette Reiger and other Senior Staff will be at School until Tuesday 17 December to offer assistance and counselling to students, should they wish. Appointments can be made with Mrs Reiger on lar@cgs,vic,edu.au.
Administrative and Medical Information All Pre-prep to Year 11 parents should have received an email this week which included a personalised link to update their administrative information and their son’s medical information. If you have not received this email, please contact Ms Michelle Perna in our Student Records Office on sro@cgs.vic.edu.au. We would be grateful if you could please update your details by Tuesday 26 November 2019.

Last Wednesday 20 November, I attended a Camberwell Grammarians’ lunch in the Camberwell Room, for past students who graduated at least 60 years ago. Over 60 people were in attendance, and it was tremendous to see so many of our most senior community members once more. It was a lovely day for our Old Boys as they caught up with old friends and reminisced about their time at Camberwell Grammar School. I am grateful to our Director of Development, Mr Ryan Whitehead, and his Development Office team for their work in preparing this event.
University of Melbourne Kwong Lee Dow Scholars We were delighted to learn that Isaac Hui (Year 10) has been successful in being awarded a Kwong Lee Dow Scholarship from the University of Melbourne which is an academic enrichment program designed to support high-achieving Victorian secondary school students. While still at School, the program offers opportunities for participation in workshops and seminars, and Isaac will be able to interact with the University and with other Kwong Lee Dow Scholars.
