Senior School Bake Sale Senior School students put on a delicious bake sale during Term 2, to raise funds in support of International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT). The stall was very popular and raised funds in support of the Pride Foundation of Australia. Well done to all involved!
Victorian Flute Guild Fundraiser Concert
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea
Year 12 parents hosted a Biggest Morning Tea on Friday 7 May to raise essential funds for people impacted by cancer. It was so good they were able to come together, share a cuppa and raise funds for such a wonderful cause. 34
In Term 2, three CGS flautists performed at the Victorian Flute Guild’s Leslie Barklamb Scholarship Fundraiser Concert. This performance was in celebration of these young musicians’ stunning performances in their 2019 Competition. Freddy Branson (Year 11) performed works by Poulenc and Borne, Nicholas Teoh (Year 8) performed works by Norton and Godard, and Rhys Campbell (Class of 2020) performed works by Ian Clarke and Telemann. Rhys is now studying for his BMus at Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and is enjoying a rich musical life at Trinity College. All money raised goes to fund scholarship prizes.
