Congratulations to everyone involved in the magnificent Music Concert on Wednesday night in the Performing Arts Centre. The range and quality of the performances was extraordinary, and I felt privileged to be there and to be a part of it. The program allowed us to showcase the extraordinary range of musical talent that we have across our School with over 400 students performing on stage. Thank you to the very large number of School families who supported us by forming the capacity audience. Our Director of Music, Mr Ben Bishop and his members of the Music School staff have done an enormous amount of work over many months, and we are indeed fortunate to have such talented staff in our Music School who bring out the very best in our musicians. Congratulations and thank you to all of our musicians under the Captain of Music, Sebastian Csutoros, on a most memorable evening of music.

AGSV Athletics All the very best to our Athletics squad who head out to the Lakeside Oval for the AGSV Athletics Finals next Wednesday. The entire season rests on this one day, but I know our Athletes have been working hard to improve their performances and will do their very best on the day. This occasion marks the launch of the centenary of the AGSV competition, the celebrations for which will take place throughout next year. Camberwell won the very first AGSV Athletics meet in 1920, so hopefully we will put in a good show next week as well! Paul Hicks, Headmaster

After experiencing some beautiful spring weather during recent sessions, Year 8 students experienced mid-winter conditions today for the final Outdoor Education component of the year. Groups travelled to: • You Yangs Bike Riding • Werribee Gorge Rock Climbing • Yarra River, South Yarra Rowing • Albert Park Sailing • Wonga Park, Wittons Reserve White Water Kayaking • Templestowe Horse Riding Well done to all the boys for extending their comfort zones over the past three weeks, living out Mark Twain’s quote “twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.”
