From the Acting Headmaster Hamlet Our play Hamlet performed to sell out houses last week in the Middleton Theatre and was absolutely outstanding. I believe that the show achieved a quality and professionalism rarely seen in schools. I was totally in awe of how the students memorised so many of Shakespeare’s lines; they delivered them as if they were a natural language to them to a captivated audience. Plays such as this remind us of what extraordinary things our students can achieve with the right encouragement, commitment and persistent hard work. My thanks and congratulations to our Head of Drama, Mr Andrew Stocker, who always manages to get such professional and seamless performances from all the students in every play he directs. My thanks also to his team who worked so closely with the cast teaching them their lines, designing their costumes and helping with all that occurs backstage. I am also very grateful and thank the girls from Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College, who performed key roles at such a highly professional standard. Thank you also to all of the staff who offered their support and time to the play. Without the commitment, dedication and generosity of staff at our School, this play simply could not have happened. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew and thanks for a wonderful evening in the Theatre.
Mid-Year Concert – Thursday 30 May at 7.30pm I am now looking forward to our next major event in our School Calendar, our Mid-Year Concert, which will be held on Thursday 30 May in the Performing Arts Centre. As always, the evening promises to be a most entertaining one. Booking details are included in a flyer attached to this Bulletin.
The William Angliss Dinner Thank you to all the parents who attended our annual William Angliss Dinner last night in the Camberwell Room. Our guest speaker, Mr Steven Dupon from the Institute of Games, spoke about the potential risks and benefits of gaming and the opportunity to strengthen our bonds with our children through mutual ‘agreements’. Steven presented a very interesting and informative discussion on how we can support and discuss with our boys the potential risks they may be faced with now and during their formative years. I am most appreciative to all the parents and teachers who attended, and thank you to our Head of Middle School, Mr Troy Stanley and to our Development Office for organising a very successful and informative evening.
Parents Using Schoology – Viewing your Son’s Progress Schoology is playing an increasingly important role in the learning of our students and in teachers’ communication with parents. Because teachers provide written feedback to students through Schoology on a continual basis about their learning, no written comments will be provided by subject teachers in Semester reports. Parents are now able to monitor the progress of their son(s) regularly, in real time, rather than waiting until the end of the semester. Tips for Parents – Viewing your Son’s Progress using Schoology, can be found in a flyer attached to this Bulletin.

Next term, we will be working with the Alliance Française de Melbourne and Camberwell Girls Grammar School to offer a preparation course for the DELF Junior examinations. These examinations are specifically designed for secondary school students who would like to obtain an official recognition of their level of proficiency in French. The course will run at Camberwell Grammar School, once a week, for 10 weeks. Enrolments and payments will be made directly to the Alliance Française. Further details and enrolment forms will be made available shortly. Please email our Head of French, Ms Naomi Eckersley nme@cgs.vic.edu.au for any enquiries.
