Season’s Greetings

Middle School

As this is our last Bulletin for 2019, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their contributions in making Camberwell Grammar School the place that it is. This year has been a challenging one for us with the loss of some dear colleagues, but I am very grateful to all of our teachers, parents and students for the hard work, generosity of spirit and commitment to our vision over the course of the year, and for helping to make this such a warm, embracing and rich community. I hope the coming weeks allow our families to enjoy a more relaxed pace at home or on vacation, and to spend some time simply enjoying each other’s company.

At the end of this year we will farewell our Registrar, Mr Peter O’Connell who after nearly 35 years has decided to retire. Mr O’Connell has been an outstanding Registrar and a dedicated member of our Staff Executive, and I will miss his support. I am also sorry to farewell Mr Ken Schwab and Mr Joe Tierney who are also both retiring at the end of this year. Ken has been here telling the Joke of the Day for 42 years and has inspired thousands of Mathematics students in that time. Joe has taught Maths and Science in his down to earth calm, and efficient style here for 27 years. In honour of Peter, Ken and Joe we will be holding a Cocktail Party next week to celebrate their contributions during their time at Camberwell Grammar School.

Mrs Catherine Casey, Head of Library and Information Services is also retiring at the end of the year after 15 years of encouraging our students to enjoy and appreciate reading. We also say farewell and thank those retiring at the end of the year and also to staff who have been filling in for staff whilst on leave: Ms Rachael Wu, Mr Evan Pritchard, Mr Rhys Thomas, Ms Joanne Denton, Mr Francesco Scalzo, Ms Natalie Fishman and Mr Tom Owen.

Transition Program The Year 8 students, having returned safely from their week at Kangaroobie, will now turn their focus to the Transition to Senior School Program. This program runs from Monday 9 December to Tuesday 10 December, with the boys concluding their academic year on Tuesday. Students in all other levels have also been involved in transition programs this week and next.

Junior School Ensemble Soiree Our final Junior School Soiree for the year was held last Wednesday evening in the Performing Arts Centre.

Our Junior School students performed magnificently, in groups large and small, before a very appreciative audience. Joining the polished School ensembles were family groups with parents, brothers and sisters.

The staff also enthusiastically presented a fun item at the end of the evening. Congratulations and thanks to Mrs Helen Thomas and our Music Staff who again put the evening together.

VCE Results Assistance 2019 We now eagerly await our Year 12 VCE results which will be published next Thursday 12 December 2019. We wish our students well and hope they receive the results they deserve. Our Careers Counsellor, Mrs Lynette Reiger and other Senior Staff will be at School until Tuesday 17 December, to assist with any changes of preferences.

Service of Nine Lessons and Carols A reminder to our School families that our Annual Carol Service this year will take place at 8.00pm on Wednesday 11 December at St Paul’s Cathedral, Flinders Street, Melbourne.

‘For unto us a Child is Born’ from Handel’s Messiah and John Taverner’s ‘The Lamb’ are just some of the items to be performed at this year’s Service. Following the Service, the Friends of Music are hosting a supper and all members of the congregation are warmly invited to join us. This is a lovely way to end the School year and an opportunity to reflect and give thanks for 2019.

On Monday 3 February 2020, next year’s Year 12 students and their parents are invited to an Information Evening in the Auditorium of the Performing Arts Centre commencing at 7.00pm. The purpose of the evening is to provide an explanation of the structure, procedures and rules of the VCE, and to suggest some strategies which will help to make the year successful in every sense. A presentation by well-known adolescent psychologist Andrew Fuller “How to Set Yourself up for a Great Year” is incorporated into this evening commencing at 8.00pm.

A Year 11 Information Evening for students and their parents will be held at the same venue on Wednesday 5 February 2020 starting at 7.30pm.

Parents should expect to receive an email with more details regarding these evenings a few days before the event. Enquiries about either of these events may be directed to Ms Jan Sangster, the VCE Administrator, on 9835 1777 or by email at vce@cgs.vic.edu.au.

Parents’ Association Start of Year Social Functions I am very grateful to the Parents’ Association again for organising and hosting next year’s Parent Welcome Back Evenings, where we have the opportunity to welcome parents from our various year groups of the School and also parents who are new to our School. We have a special community at our School, and I am very grateful for the support we receive as we work to educate your sons. I look forward to meeting you at our Parent Welcome Back Evenings in the Camberwell Room on the following dates: • Junior School - Thursday 30 January 2020 (7.30pm) • Middle School - Friday 31 January 2020 (6.30pm) • Senior School - Friday 7 February 2020 (6.30pm)

Cabrini Malvern’s Emergency Department A reminder that Camberwell Grammar School have entered into an agreement with Cabrini Malvern’s Emergency Department, who will provide any student attending Camberwell Grammar School with a 50% discount on their attendance fee, a saving of $205 weekdays and $240 weekends.

Once more, on behalf of all my colleagues at Camberwell Grammar School, I extend our very best wishes for a joyous Christmas and a pleasant, safe and relaxing summer holiday.

I look forward to another wonderful year in 2020.

Paul Hicks, Headmaster

Middle School Stepping Up Day We welcomed current Year 5 boys to Middle School yesterday for their ‘Stepping Up Day’. In addition to welcoming Year 5 boys, we also welcomed Mr Nathan Jones, who joins us from the Junior School. After the new form groups were announced the boys spent some time with their 2020 Year 6 Form Teacher. Other activities included Art, Science and an introduction to the Library. In the afternoon our current Year 6 boys joined them for a games afternoon. It was a great day and I trust that the Year 5 students are looking forward to their move to Middle School next year.

Year 7 Class Band Concert During lunchtime yesterday, we were entertained by the Year 7 Class Band Concert. This event was the culmination of work in classes throughout the year. Again, I congratulate the students and staff involved. It was amazing to walk into the Middleton Theatre to see the stage full of students and instruments. Over 95 boys were involved in what was a superb showcase of their music classes. It was astonishing to know that the majority of the boys on stage were absolute beginners at the start of the year. Organising so many boys and combinations of instruments to play in synchrony was just incredible. This was a credit to the tireless efforts of the staff and the optimistic attitude and self-efficacy shared by the students. A special thanks also to the parents who were able to attend.

Kangaroobie I had the opportunity to visit Kangaroobie last Wednesday to see how our Year 8 boys were faring. It must be said that the cooler weather and high winds were certainly playing their part in the ‘character building’ process. Nonetheless, it was great to see the hikers return from their challenging two nights camping with a real sense of accomplishment. We are all looking forward to catching up with them this afternoon when they return.

Transition Program The Year 8 to 9 Transition Program continues with our Year 8 students spending time in their Senior School House areas next Monday when they will be working with an external group and their Heads of House through an exciting timetable of activities.

Last week, our Year 7 students were notified of their 2020 Year 8 Form Groups in anticipation of the Year 7 into Year 8 Transition Day on Tuesday 10 December. Each Form Group will make their way to a different location with their 2020 Form Teacher. This is the same day that we host all students for the Year 7 Orientation Day for 2020. This is always an exciting time, and I am very much looking forward to the various events.

It seems unbelievable that we are talking about the final days of the year! We farewell our Year 8 boys next Tuesday, while Year 6 and 7 boys will continue with normal classes until Thursday 10 December. Dismissal time on this day will be 12.30pm, following a final Assembly.

Junior School

How quickly the School year seems to have gone! In a handful of days, the School year will conclude and the Junior School will bid farewell to a wonderful group of Year 5 boys, thank them for their contribution to the School, and wish them well in their next stage of schooling.

The recent Ensemble Soiree, Junior athletics, Billy Cart Derby, Year 3 Camp, capture the essence of what we believe about being a great School for boys. The boys playing musical instruments, performing and singing in choirs and also the boys participating in the athletics and sports programs, and working hard on their academics. These are boys developing and deepening their character and humanity.

It is through these experiences and hundreds of others like them, such as the Year 4 Camp at Anglesea, Year 5 at Lancefield and the Year 3 Gundiwindi Camp, excursions far and wide, projects and challenges, that our boys learn a lot, including much about themselves. They develop a sense of belonging as they share their ‘journey’ with others. That journey will not always be easy going, and quite often it is when times are tough, or when we feel out of our depth, that we learn the most. But there will always be those wonderful moments, those joyful times of celebration and achievement to nourish us.

Over the course of the year much has been achieved. Some of it has involved significant changes, much has been fine-tuning. What enables us to become better as a School, as a community, is the quality of the partnership between home and the School. Our Junior School is blessed with an incredibly supportive community, and they show it in a lot of ways – working together to solve problems, checking diaries, friend and fund raising events, helping out in classrooms, running special events, Open Days and barbecues. It is all important – it all matters – and it all makes this a better place for your sons. I am extremely grateful to all who have contributed and especially our ‘Friends of Norge’, who under the dedicated leadership of Janet Cheung, Karen Mill and Debbie Cheong have added great value to our Junior School community. We welcome our new FON members for 2020, Debbie Cheong, Lydia Dwijayanti and Viviana Yong.

Junior School Food Policy Update Junior School policy regarding the provision of food, drinks and treats for class parties, events and birthdays To minimize the risk to our ever-increasing number of boys with allergies and anaphylaxis, it is our policy that the only food that comes to School is what parents provide for their own son’s morning tea and lunch. No other food, drinks or treats are to be sent/brought to School. Boys are not to share food or treats.

When providing food for your son we also ask that you adhere to our ‘nut aware policy’ and are mindful of any allergies identified for boys in your son’s class. Your help in maintaining a safe environment for all our boys is greatly appreciated.

Music Performances What a marvellous week of music we have enjoyed. Thank you all for your support of our many musicians of Junior School.

The Lower Primary mini-musical Christmas Around The World was an absolute delight. Dressed in colourful national costumes, our younger boys sang, danced and performed on stage with confidence and joy, demonstrating the true spirit of Christmas as they shared their music with others.

The Ensemble Soiree held on Wednesday night to a capacity audience was a celebration of Instrumental Music in the Junior School. From the Junior School Orchestra’s opening number to the Chamber Singers jazz style, the program presented all Ensembles – strings, woodwind, brass and percussion – playing polished items with confidence. It was wonderful to see their musical growth throughout the year. The concluding Staff Recorder Ensemble was a highlight. Enormous thanks to so many families who practised hard to entertain us with their family items.

• Friday 13 December is a staff only day.

Next Tuesday and Wednesday morning, boys will walk to St Mark’s for rehearsal. The boys are busily preparing for our Christmas Service and we hope you can join us. This is our final celebration as a whole Junior School community for 2019 and we encourage as many parents and friends as possible to join us for this special Service.

Lost Property Lost property has been on display this week and will continue to be available for parents and boys to check in the last week of School.

Sport

Thank you and well done to everyone involved in Sport for 2019 for what was another memorable year. A lot of time and effort goes into the program from students, parents and staff members to make it as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible and it is greatly appreciated. I would particularly like to thank Mrs Sally White and Mr Tom Owen for their ongoing support.

Best wishes to our Cycling, Kayaking and Triathlon squads over the coming weekends. Cycling and Triathlon have their final events for the year on Sunday morning at Kilsyth and Sandringham, respectively. Kayaking are still preparing for the Ben Ward Memorial 40 Miler in Yarrawonga and Cobram, which will take place on the weekend of 14 and 15 December in what is always a challenging, yet enjoyable weekend of racing.

Congratulations to Zac Kelly (Year 10) for winning the Elite Men B-Grade in the 2019 Tour of Bright last weekend. An exceptional effort to win his division against men of all ages. Held over 3 days, the Cycling event was a gruelling one, which consisted of a time trial, a looped road stage and a climb of Mount Buffalo and totalled approximately 150km of racing. To make things more difficult, it snowed during the last 10km of the mountain climb! Zac completed the event in 4 hours, 16 minutes and 45 seconds, beating his nearest rival by 58 seconds.
