ECHO
LEAVERS EDITION
We have shared tears, laughter, setbacks, and triumphs over the years. Together we have grown as individuals, nurtured our talents, and formed friendships that will last a lifetime. We have demonstrated what it looks like to be a cohesive, supportive, and optimistic cohort. In particular, our involvement in service activities this year has exemplified the unique and supportive sense of community that makes Camberwell
As we bid farewell to the familiar grounds and halls of Camberwell Grammar, we embark on a new chapter filled with possibilities. Let us continue to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world. Let us be known not by our words, but by our deeds. Let us face new challenges with courage and integrity. And may we always look on one another with a smile, as we remember the unity and collective bond we have shared. Thank you to all our teachers and parents for their support, encouragement, and belief. Finally, thank you to all the contributors to this magazine and the dedicated editorial team led by Charlie Leong. Your efforts have allowed us to immortalise our experiences and achievements.
William Allsop (Vice Captain)
Cooper Carbone (School Captain) Congratulations Class of 2023!
Grammar so special. Our journeys have been marked by countless hours of study, a few lockdowns, and a variety of extracurricular opportunities - debating, drama, cadets, music, and sport. This magazine offers a glimpse into some of these experiences and the comrades and brothers we shared them with. I hope you are moved, inspired, and filled with a sense of pride in the outstanding accomplishments, artistic flair, and unique togetherness that defines our cohort.

tests, SACs, and exams. Together, we’ve formed enduring friendships, made lasting memories, and built brotherly bonds to last a lifetime. Our incredible teachers and House tutors – the conductors on this journey – deserve our heartfelt recognition and praise. From the wise and charismatic Mr. Jones, the composed and accomplished Mr. Rayner and Mr. Jeacocke, the unbeatable humour of Dr. Smith, and the many more we could all go on about, our teachers and House Tutors have undeniably played an instrumental part in our growth, both as individuals and as a cohesive cohort. Now, the future awaits, and it’s as bright as the midday sun on the MCG. To celebrate our journey, we present to you this special AFLthemed Year 12 Leaver’s edition of the ECHO.

Here’s to the Camberwell Grammar School Year 12 Class of 2023; it truly has been a Shinkansen ride of a lifetime. Finally to cap off our Year 12 pride, Mr Jones said, “2023 was the best Year 12 ever”.
