Year 12 Final Day We said farewell to our Year 12 students last Wednesday with a series of House farewells, cuff-link presentations by fathers of Year 12 students who were also Old Boys of the Grammarians’ Association in the morning, and a lunch. The day finished with a Leavers’ Service at St Mark’s Church and a Valedictory Dinner in the evening at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with parents and staff. It was a day filled with a mix of emotions, excitement and memories and it was wonderful to celebrate the conclusion of their formal schooling at CGS with them. I am sure that the whole school community will join with me to thank them for their contributions to CGS and to wish them well in their final examinations. Many thanks to Ms Jan Sangster, Mr David Rayner, Mr Marcus Jones and the parents who set up the tables for the evening. Congratulations and thanks to Mr Brian McManus for his extraordinary work on the Year 12 video.
