From the Headmaster Thank You Thank you so much to the many members of our community who have offered their best wishes, support and assistance to both the School and to the family of Ms Suzan Davies this week. The overwhelming response has clearly shown that we are part of a special and caring community. I know that all of our thoughts are with Suzan’s family at this time.
Welcome Back Welcome back to Term 2. I hope that everyone was able to enjoy some quality time together during the vacation break. As we enter this Term, I encourage all students to maintain focus on their studies and continue with the momentum gained during Term 1. All students will face a semester reporting cycle later this term, and our senior students will sit examinations towards the end of this Term.
ANZAC Dawn Service Thank you to all of the families who supported our ANZAC Dawn Service yesterday. Over 400 people filled the Wheelton Amphitheatre at 6.00am for a moving service, which honoured the memory of Australian soldiers, and in particular our past students, who lost their lives in war. Our guest speaker was CGS parent Brigadier Greg McGlone, who provided us with an understanding of why acts of remembrance like this are so important, and reminded us of the Australian service men and women who are currently deployed in dangerous regions across the globe. Thank you to Officer Commanding Major (AAC) Michael Neal, Dr John Tuckfield and our team of Cadet Officers who made the event possible, with the support of our Cadet Auxiliary who provided a wonderful breakfast to all of those who attended.
ANZAC Day Assembly Last Wednesday we also held a special ANZAC Day Assembly, when we took time to reflect and honour the sacrifice of those who fought in the First World War. We particularly remembered those past students of our School who lost their lives while serving our country. Mr John Allen delivered a powerful address about his father, a veteran of World War II and the vital role that legacy has played in his life. Mr Hamish Green read out the names of the fallen Grammarians and as each name was read, a member of our Cadet Unit came forward to stand in silent tribute. It was a poignant reminder of the loss that the School community suffered at the time.
