From the Acting Headmaster
I wish everyone all the very best for the coming holiday and I hope that the break from school routines provides an opportunity for batteries to be re-charged in readiness for the fresh challenges of Term 3. It has been a very busy time at CGS in recent weeks and many of the boys have been involved in a wide range of activities. I took the opportunity at yesterday’s Assembly to congratulate the senior boys on the manner with which they have tackled Term 2, and I echo those sentiments for our Junior and Middle School students. Their enthusiasm and support for each other is incredible and their positive approach ensures that CGS is a wonderful community and a great place to be every day. Classes begin again for Term 3 on Tuesday 16 July. The Monday preceding will be used for a range of professional development activities, involving all members of the teaching staff. The School offices will be open as usual throughout the vacation.
Junior School Production Last night I had the pleasure of seeing The Amazing Adventures of Superstan, our Junior School production. It was a brilliant night at the theatre and I congratulate the young cast on a most enjoyable and entertaining show. I have never heard so many ‘Dad’ jokes in my life! Well done to the Junior School staff and particularly Ms Trista Fry (Director), Mr Matthew McRae (Assistant Director) Ms Helen Thomas (Musical Director), Ms Michelle Ponert (Drama Trainer), Ms Jennifer Bennie (Costume Design) and the production team for a wonderful show.
Holiday Activities It is always pleasing to note the range of activities that our students are involved in over every vacation period. It is particularly important to note that these activities can only take place because of the enthusiastic and committed effort of staff members. A group of Year 8 and 9 students will make their way across the globe as part of the UK Cricket Tour for 2019. Ably led by Mr Lachlan Crawford, Mr Troy Stanley and Mr Jamie Watson, the group will play 8 matches across England, culminating in a tournament in Southampton, staying at the prestigious Southampton University. Tour highlights will include a tour of London, Lords Cricket Ground, Stonehenge, Oxford University and Old Trafford Football Stadium. I wish all involved well for what should be a brilliant experience. We also have two teams travelling to Sydney to compete in the National Championships of the da Vinci Decathlon. Best of luck to Mr Paul Double and our Year 7 and 10 boys who will be representing us in this competition: Year 10

The Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition is a problem-solving competition designed to encourage student curiosity and promote multiple modes of thinking. During the competition, students developed informal algorithms and thought logically about various scenarios to arrive at solutions to the problems.
