School Prefects 2020
School Prefects 2020
We have now begun the process of Prefect selection for 2020. Students in Year 11 who are interested in being considered for a role have been asked to apply, and to indicate their preference and suitability for a particular “portfolio”, for which they will be responsible for next year. We will have a maximum of nineteen Prefects in the following portfolios: • School Captain • School Vice-Captain • House Captain (8) • Captain of Games • Captain of Music • Captain of Public Speaking and Debating • Captain of Drama • Faith and Social Justice Prefect • Junior and Middle School Liaison Prefect • Environment and Sustainability Prefect • Publications Prefect • Senior Cadet Under Officer (SCUO) The process for the selection of Prefects is as comprehensive and transparent as we can make it, and much time is spent selecting an effective team. It involves a formal application, student and staff voting and an interview. I have written to the parents of all Year 11 students, explaining the process, and we hope to have the appointments announced early in Term 4. This will allow a formal handover to occur with our current Prefects, and will also allow our new Prefects the opportunity to participate in the Year 8 camp and Year 7 (2020) Orientation Day at the end of the year. Their role in these activities is invaluable as they support and welcome new boys to both Senior and Middle School.

Parent/Teacher Interviews On Wednesday 7 August and Tuesday 13 August between 2.30pm and 8.30pm, there will be an opportunity for parents of students in Years 6 to 12 to meet with their son’s teachers to discuss his academic progress over the course of the year to date. Please note that classes will conclude following Period 6 on each of these days in the Middle and Senior Schools. Also, Year 8 into Year 9 Subject Selection Information Sessions will be held in the Quinn Lecture Theatre, located on the second floor of the Wheelton Centre, first at 5.30pm, and then repeated at 7.00pm. These information sessions will run for approximately half an hour, and Year 8 parents need only attend one. Earlier this week you will have received an email detailing the process for booking a meeting with your son’s Teachers.

We are extremely pleased to once again host and convene this year’s Agendo Art Competition for emerging artists. The Arts have always held an important place within our School, and we have always encouraged our students to explore their own artistic dimensions. This competition represents an attempt to reach out to the world beyond the School and to support the artistic endeavour of young adults in a practical and useful way offering a $10,000 first prize, sponsored by Mr Peter Crone. I warmly invite you to come, support and encourage our finalists by joining us at the Opening Night on Thursday 8 August 2019 between 6.30pm and 9.00pm in the David Williams Gallery, Camberwell Grammar School. If you are unable to attend on the Opening Night there will still be an opportunity for you to attend the Exhibition, which runs in the Gallery from Thursday 8 August to Wednesday 14 August 2019. Further details can be found in the attached Invitation and Exhibition Program.
