Edition 78, 21 February 2020

From the Headmaster Francis Forbes Society The Francis Forbes Society is a prestigious annual Essay Competition that seeks to recognise excellence in the study of Australian legal history. I am very pleased to announce that Rohan Hodges (Public Speaking and Debating Prefect) was chosen as the national winner of the Senior Secondary Division for his essay titled “The Tasmanian Dams Case: To what extent has it influenced Australia’s environmental management?

Was the dramatic response to the High Court’s decision justified?”.

Kenneth Atock Memorial Scholarship Congratulations to Tom Sun (Year 11) who is the recipient of the Kenneth Atock Memorial Scholarship for Science. This scholarship was given to the school in a bequest from Mr Kenneth Atock, an old boy, and is awarded to students for their academic performance in the Sciences, to promote and encourage scientific education with the emphasis upon studies of outer space and rocketry amongst scholars attending Camberwell Grammar School. In light of Tom’s consistent high-level academic performances in Science last year, he is a most worthy recipient of this Scholarship.

CGS and CGGS Parent Education Seminar Our next Parent Education Seminar, Inflating Balloons of Self Belief will take place at 7.00pm on Wednesday 26 February 2020 at Camberwell Girls Grammar School.

The guest speaker on the evening will be Mr James Shone who, following a 16-year teaching career embodies a positive attitude to life and a determination to turn setbacks into springboards by inspiring confidence in every individual to enable them to know who they are and what they are able to do, rather than focusing on what they can’t.

Please let our convenor of the Parent Education Seminars, Mr John Allen, know if you are intending to come on mja@cgs.vic.edu.au. Further information is included in this flyer.

Paul Hicks, Headmaster

Staff and students are excited about the upcoming Year 7 Lord Somers Camp in Week 6. Students will enjoy five days at the Camp from Monday 2 March to Friday 6 March. The camp boasts wonderful facilities at an ideal beachside location. There is an excellent range of activities planned that focus on building relationships within the year level. I am looking forward to spending time with the students at the camp and watching their self-confidence soar as they stretch their comfort zones. Camp information booklets will be distributed to families through email and posted on the School Portal.

Courage to Care Incursion for Year 8 Next Monday (for 8R, M, K, S) and Tuesday (for 8B, J, C) Year 8 groups will be participating in a Courage to Care workshop, that aims to promote ‘upstander’ behaviour. The workshop includes interactive displays as well as a presentation from a Holocaust Survivor. This is an excellent lead into the upcoming Year 8 English Text, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Junior School

I have just returned from camp, a little weary to be sure, but also quite delighted with the way the program served the students and the manner in which they responded. Year 4 spent three days at Anglesea last week, and during the previous week Year 5 headed to the bush of Lancefield. The camps extend over three days and took the students away from the comforts of home into different environments with their own set of challenges, opportunities and expectations. These camps give students time to be with one another, to share experiences that may be new and challenging, as well as the opportunity to get a better sense of themselves. The camps focus on outdoor experiences that encourage participation, cooperation, team building, problem solving and the growth of confidence in an enjoyable, supportive setting.

Netting in the lagoon at Airlie’s Inlet had the Year 4 boys totally engaged with the thrill of the catch and the wonder of the variety of creatures they had gathered to admire, assess and release. They were up to their knees in nature and loving it! While there was excitement there was also plenty of education as our naturalist experts presented the context and asked questions that required the students to think beyond who had caught the biggest or brightest specimen.

Mastering the skills of canoeing and working cooperatively to get the craft to go in the intended direction brought plenty of fun, frustration and challenge. For some students it came easily, while others had to work at it. Students were learning about themselves and were gaining the satisfaction that comes from adding a new skill and experience to one’s repertoire. Many learnt the value of persisting and repeated practice. Climbing the lighthouse took some students into their uncomfortable zone, but for them the journey down the stairs, having done the lap around the top, was filled with pride and achievement.

Earlier, at the Year 5 camp with its array of initiative and group problem solving tasks, it was evident with each rotation that the boys were developing a sense of team. They were thinking more in terms of the group rather than as a collection of individuals. They were also developing respect for suggestions and skills that were available through their group members. The momentum gathered over the course of the camp as the boys experienced canoeing, bike riding, flying fox, and the challenges of solving the maze.

In amongst all the adrenalin, perspiration and problem solving the camp experiences at Year 4 and 5 encouraged friendship, built confidence and generated a lot of laughs and fond memories. It was a privilege to have that time with the students.

Junior School Music Now that Year 4 and Year 5 camps are completed, the Junior School Music Program is in full swing.

Instrumental lessons are underway, and most Ensembles have commenced rehearsals. If your son learns a musical instrument at School, please access his lesson information through the School Portal. Most Junior School Ensembles rehearse before School and at lunchtime. Details of the Ensemble timetable can be found on the Junior School Class Portal. Please note in particular, the Junior School Orchestra and the Junior School Choir will perform at the Autumn Concert on Wednesday 25 March at 7.30pm in the PAC. Details of this Concert will be sent to parents soon.

We look forward to learning together and hope you enjoy sharing a year of fine music with us.

Prep and Year 1 Reading and Writing Together Parents of boys in Prep and Year 1 are invited to attend an Information Session on strategies to help beginning readers and writers and answer any questions you might have.

Mrs Caroline Gatley, Deputy Head (Curriculum), Miss Emily Bond, Year 1 Teacher, Mrs Eunice Goessler, Year 2 Teacher, and Mrs Colleen Jarrett-Burke, Head of Learning Enhancement, will be giving a talk on how to help your son with reading, handwriting and spelling.

Date: Wednesday 26 February 2020 Time: 8.45am to 10.15am Venue: Prep Classroom

Years 4 and 5 Parent Information/ Cyber Safety Presentation As helpful and powerful as Information Technology might be, in the hands of our students, it does come with its inherent risks of misuse, overuse and misadventure. To have parents well informed and confident to provide a safe home environment and responsible use of technology, we have planned a Parent Information/ Cyber Safety Presentation and Discussion. This will occur on Thursday 5 March at 6.45pm until 8.30pm in the Middleton Theatre. This Cybersafety Session is for parents only.

Sport

There are two rounds remaining in the AGSV Summer Sport season. Next week will be the final week of training for all sports except Cycling, Golf, Kayaking, Lawn Bowls, Orienteering, Squash, Swimming and Triathlon, as they all have competitions beyond next weekend. After a close loss to Trinity in the final round of the season last weekend, Firsts Volleyball encounter our old foes again this weekend in the semi-final. In their first finals appearance in a number of years, we wish the team all the very best. Firsts Basketball play their final match of the season, while Firsts Cricket and Firsts Tennis will be playing for a chance to play finals next week. While some teams’ season are coming to a close, the Swimming squad’s season is heating up.

Last week, they took on Trinity in a Duel in the Pool, while they take on Ivanhoe on Friday afternoon. The AGSV Swimming Finals take place on Friday 20 March!

Friends of Groups are busy preparing their respective Sport Presentation evenings. Invitations have been or will be emailed to parents and they can also be found within the Weekly Bulletin. They are always enjoyable evenings and a great way to reflect on the season, so it would be fantastic to see as many students and parents there as possible.

Winter Sport trials for Firsts teams will commence in the last few weeks of Term 1 in preparation for the beginning of the AGSV Winter Sport season in Term 2. Teachers in charge of the respective sports will advertise details to students on Schoology.

Running sessions with Craig Mottram continue to take place throughout the remainder of Term 1, on Monday and Wednesday mornings. The sessions start at 7.00am, held on the KAO, and are open to students of all ages and abilities. The focus of the sessions is to improve running technique, as well as speed and endurance. It is a brilliant way to prepare for the Winter Sport season!

Notifications of Sport cancellations due to weather are posted on Twitter @CamberwellSport and TeamApp camberwellgrammarsport.teamapp.com. More information about the Sport Program can also be found on TeamApp which can also be downloaded from the App Store.

For clarification or for more information, any questions or concerns regarding Sport can be directed to me at ljc@cgs.vic.edu.au.

Sport Report Facing a talented Marcellin side, the 1st Squash team held off their competition to continue their undefeated run. Up against the division’s best player, Kai Sapolu (Year 10) fought bravely, denying the opposition any easy points, but eventually lost to an accomplished opposition. However, the remaining singles matches were won by Camberwell, led by captain Arman Cakmakcioglu (Year 12). Jake Ford (Year 10) and James Thorn (Year 12) also made amends with victories in their respective singles to win the tie before going into the doubles matches. With the combination of Arman and Kai up against Marcellin’s strongest pair, the boys went down in the first set but triumphed in the second as they worked persistently together. The final set of doubles was taken by Marcellin, even so, Camberwell finished victorious, 3-7-174 to 2-7-193.

Returning from a solid block of training over the summer break, Camberwell’s Orienteering squad competed at Ruffey Lake. Team captain, Felix McCuaig (Year 12) led the squad, with standout performances from Ben Price (Year 10) (first in his division) and James Bush (Year 11), 4th.

The 2nd Blue Basketball team played Mentone as they looked to close out their season triumphantly. Will Day (Year 12) contributed to the scoreboard from the outset, cementing an early lead. Ruben Hopkins extended their lead with penetrating drives on offence, reinforced by the defensive physicality of Hamish Wild (both Year 12). Stellar performances from Geoff Gong and Chris Golz (both Year 12) saw the team win 37 to 22.

10A Tennis faced Trinity in a close affair. Following a sluggish start to the match, the side found their form as a pairing between Hugo Thornton and Marcus Peeters-Williams (both Year 10) won Camberwell’s first set, 6 Page 3

games to 4. As the team moved into singles matches, Daniel Meagher, Alec McDougal, Will Govenlock and Kevin Wang (all Year 10) kept the opposition’s games to a minimum, each winning their respective sets with ease. Marcus Peters-Williams was quick to close out the match and get out of the rain, winning convincingly 6 games to 1. Camberwell eventually defeated Trinity 7 sets to 5 in a great turnaround.

The Lawn Bowls team continued their undefeated streak with two outstanding matches on Saturday against Trinity B and Ivanhoe B. Kristian Bite (Year 10) played with composure, while solid performances by cocaptains Will Cook and Elijah Pannozzo (both Year 11) helped secure consecutive victories in 19 to 1 and 15 to 1.

A focused and concerted effort saw Camberwell’s 1st Table Tennis shut down the efforts of Trinity in a dominant performance. Unaffected by their competition, the team took all head to head singles rubbers and followed on from there to complete a comprehensive clean sweep, 15 rubbers to 0. Nathan Shi and Ethan Tang (both Year 12) asserted themselves with assured victories and Bryden Tan (Year 12) maintained the team’s immaculate record. The team has set a high benchmark for the next generation of players, with six of the squad members having now played out one of their last games for the School.

Camberwell’s golf squad had all three teams competing in the Ambrose competition last Wednesday, in which two teams tied for first with a score of 4 over par. Winners included Ben Zhang (Year 12), Jordan Huang (Year 9), Matthew Haig (Year 9), Gage Tan (Year 10), Daniel Chen (Year 8) and George Karametos (Year 7). In their Sunday competition, Josh (Year 11) and Callum Yates (Year 8) played through tough conditions for a respectable finish. Matthew Haig (Year 9) is also to be commended, as he completed his first handicapped round with the squad, performing admirably. They squad look towards their next major event, being AGSV/APS/BAS Golf Day at Spring Valley on Monday 20 April.
