Year 4 and 5 Parent Information/Cyber Safety Presentation Our next Parent Education Seminar will be on the topic of Cyber Safety, an issue many of us struggle with as parents. This seminar will occur on Thursday 28 February at 6.45pm until 8.30pm in the Camberwell Room. The session is for parents only. The presenter for our evening will be Robyn Treyvaud, who is the founder of Cyber Safe Kids and a wellrespected Cyber Safety expert. Robyn provides advice to the media, industry and Governments in Australia, ensuring a balanced and evidence-based view on her work within schools in Australia and Asia for the past decade. She assists educators, schools and parent communities to understand the challenges of living and working in the digital world, equipping them with tools to meet these challenges. Please note that it is required for at least one parent from each Year 4 family to attend, and it is strongly encouraged that Year 5 parents also avail themselves of this important opportunity. If you have not already booked, please register your attendance by booking here: https://www.trybooking.com/BALZR.
2019 Young Citizen of the Year I am very pleased to announce and congratulate Rohan Hodges (Year 11) who has been named Boroondara Council’s Young Citizen of the Year for 2019. Rohan was recognised for his leadership skills and a commitment to helping others, much of it demonstrated through his involvement in programs at our School. Rohan was recognised for his involvement in the Lord Mayor’s ‘Youth in Philanthropy’ program, and the Projec10 program, and for achieving the rank of ‘Sergeant’ in the Camberwell Grammar School Army Cadet Unit. Congratulations to Rohan – a worthy recipient. Paul Hicks, Headmaster

Next Wednesday, Schoology workshops will take place in the William Angliss Building, commencing at 6.30pm to 7.00pm. Year 7 parents are then invited to attend the Year 7 camp information session in the Middleton Theatre at 7.15pm. Following this, parents are invited to drinks and nibbles with their son’s Form Teacher in various locations around the PAC foyer. This presents an excellent opportunity to meet with other parents from the same Form group. If you are intending to come, please ensure that you have completed the TryBooking Form that was emailed earlier in the week.
Courage to Care Incursion for Year 8 Next week Year 8 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’. Given that this is a voluntary group, boys are encouraged to donate a gold coin to the organisation.
