If the purpose of education is to make the future, schools are the melting pots in which much of the work is done. Our school is no exception – it is a busy place with much happening every day, as we help our students navigate their way through growing up. We do our best to provide them with opportunities for Our mission is to help them grow, intellectually,

of the ways we will know if we have succeeded as a school is if our graduates emerge with a desire to improve their world and have the skills to do it.

Some of our efforts are recorded in this Grammarian. There are examples of learning, sport, drama, music, arts and play. The students do not always realise that they are always learning, but the breadth, range and scale of their learning opportunities are reflected in these pages.

Our parents make great sacrifices to send their sons to Camberwell and I remain grateful for the support you give us and each other. We see this most clearly in the way you rally in times of sadness and grief, and unfortunately our Camberwell Angels have been busy again this year. The strength of our community, however, is tested most in times of pressure, and once more the parent community has responded swiftly and generously when it has been needed. Thank you.

It is a joy and a privilege to work with the students at our school. They are extraordinary young men and are impressive in their openness and honesty. Their School Captain in 2017, Nelson Zhou, led them brilliantly, and is an outstanding example of the sort of person our school produces in partnership with our parents. For the most part, they are articulate, kind and generous to each other, and to those who need help. As teachers, we are lucky to share their company and to have the opportunity of helping to shape their educational journey. Of course, they are privileged young men too, and have been fortunate to have been given an enormous head start in the world. It is important that they come to realise this and to recognise that with this privilege comes responsibility, and that we will look to them to help make the world a better place. One

Another cycle is complete, another Year 12 has graduated and a new Year 7 class will come to fill their places in January. The school moves on, but pauses to reflect on the year that was. As always, The Grammarian is the shared result of many people’s work. Students and staff members have worked together to write the stories and take the photographs which fill this year’s record. The heavy editorial lifting, however, has been done by Mrs Jade Dolling and Ms Bianca Bowden, who bear the responsibility and the credit for the final result. It is an enormous task, and I am grateful for what they have been able to achieve. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

INTRODUCTION

L A I R O EDIT 2017 is a year that we will not soon forget. It seems strange to think that everything that has happened at Camberwell Grammar School this year can be recorded in a single publication, and yet the minutiae of academic life – trooping back and forth between classes, changing for PE and sports training, foursquare in the Middle School atrium, endless debates, rehearsals, and performances – are important not for what they are, but for what they represent. Every student leaves an indelible mark on the School, in how they shape its customs, and its culture, and in how they employ and grow from the education it offers. It is fitting, then, that our achievements this year have been set down for posterity in the pages that lie before you – the official record of Camberwell Grammar School in 2017.

As a member of the Class of 2017, this is a year I will never forget. The opening of the new Sports Centre and the final banishment of the dreaded stairs only added to the immeasurable bounty of what we have gained from our time at Camberwell – a world-class education. I thank our teachers from the bottom of my heart for the knowledge and wisdom they have imparted, and I offer my classmates my best wishes for the future. It is of course in the nature of schools to replenish their students, and as we depart, a new cohort steps up to take our place, and new students arrive at Camberwell for the very first time. I encourage you all to make the most of everything Camberwell Grammar has to offer and to immerse yourself in sport, music, and co-curricular activities galore. To the Year 12s

presumptive of 2018, I wish you the best of luck for next year. Work as hard as you can, to make it a success: by your deeds shall you be known. Finally, it would be remiss of me not to offer my thanks to the people that have made this publication possible. The student committee this year has been as dedicated and engaged as always – thanks to Oliver Anderson, Lachlan Clarke, Jonathan Lim, Oscar Lu, and Justin Shao for all their work. This magazine would not exist, however, without the tireless efforts of Ms Dolling and Ms Bowden in the Development Office. It is thanks to them that this compilation of all that has defined Camberwell Grammar this past year has been put together. We hope you enjoy this edition of The Grammarian for 2017.

Housing an impressively well-resourced 50 metre indoor pool, the new Sports Centre provided a welcome home for our budding future Olympians. The lush green fields of the new KAO felt the tread of many eager footballer’s boots, even as those non-athletically talented among us found, in the new indoor carpark, a welcome spot from which to begin their “green” walk to school. On a more serious note, we offer our sincerest gratitude to Peter Crone Architects and Cockram Construction for providing our school with sporting facilities that truly are world-class; evidenced by the warmth with which they have been received by our students, we certainly think they will prove of immense benefit to the ‘Wellers’ as they pursue their sporting goals. Throughout the year, the ever-increasing involvement of the school in fundraising activities was truly pleasing to see. From the abundant sausage sizzles, gelati days and even a hilarious Schofield

INTRODUCTION

Reflecting on the year that has been, we are immensely grateful for the warmth and dedication of the school community throughout all its endeavours. 2017 was a year of widespread change for Camberwell Grammar School, and our Prefects have risen to the occasion with aplomb. Whether it was the opening of our new Chapel and Sports Centre, or being asked to don netball skirts at Camberwell Girls Grammar School in a valiant effort against their lucky netball team, the adaptability of our Prefect leadership team has been nothing short of exemplary.

House great debate, (where the students and teachers bitterly disagreed over whether dating techniques should be taught at singlesex schools) the Prefects of all Houses were eagerly involved in supporting some fantastic causes. However, the highlight of the year was undoubtedly the AGSV combined walk-a-thon, the first of its kind, organised by the Prefects of all nine AGSV schools that raised $80,000 for Hope Builders International, a charity dedicated to transforming the lives of orphaned Ugandan children. To have all schools galvanise and unite in this terrific cause was a true credit to -all, and we would like to thank all members involved. It has been an eventful year, abundant with highlights. It has been a privilege to lead this wonderful community, and we are truly appreciative of all the efforts displayed by the Prefects, students and teachers in making 2017 the year it was, and we would like to wish all 2018 Prefects a successful year.

Congratulations to our staff and students who were involved in the extraordinary School Concert on Wednesday 6 September. It was amazing to see the whole range of our students, from Primary to Secondary, performing with such skill and passion. The program for this concert was a most ambitious one, but the students rose to the occasion in every piece. It is difficult to single out individual performances in such a collaborative event, but Captain of Music, Edward Tan, deserves special credit for the way he has led our music students this year, and for being such an outstanding ambassador for our program. Other soloists made a huge impression too: in particular, Dylan Spargo, playing the flugelhorn; Harrison McEwen conducting the Senior School Concert Band; Christian Chene, Michael Tan, David Tan and William de la Rue singing solo parts during the spectacular Verdi’s ‘Requiem’ deserve special commendation. And our amazing School Captain, Nelson Zhao’s, extraordinary performance of the first movement of Grieg’s ‘Piano Concerto in A Minor’, well-deserved the standing ovation that it received. Finally, congratulations to our Director of Music, Mr Ben Bishop, for giving us an amazing evening of music. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

At the beginning of Term 1, the All Souls Chapel was officially opened by Archbishop Philip Freier. This is the first consecrated chapel in the 131-year history of Camberwell Grammar School. Acknowledgement is given to the Headmaster, Dr Paul Hicks, and the School Council for bringing the vision of having a chapel in the geographic centre of the School, into reality. It was not until the first day of Term 2, that the Junior School community had an opportunity to begin the term with an inaugural chapel service. Historically, the only other services that have involved the entire Junior School have been the Easter and Christmas services, both of which are held at St Mark’s Camberwell. Pre-Prep to Year 5, and Junior School staff managed to fit comfortably into the All Souls Chapel space. The service was conducted by Rev Greg Davies and involved student leaders for the readings and prayers.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

The theme was Celebrating the Creation, which took its inspiration from one of three magnificent stained-glass windows by David Wright and the internal features of the Chapel.

Prayer Times Throughout this year, the Chapel has been a quiet centre for prayer and reflection. Our school is a large community and at times, a number of us appreciate prayers for healing and support. Thank you to the many staff who joined our prayer times or who supported those in need this year.

The Opening of All Souls Chapel Thursday 2 March 2017 will long be remembered in our school’s history, as we celebrated the opening of the All Souls Chapel, as well as the Sports Centre by the Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove. The beautiful chapel was then dedicated to both God and the school community by the Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr Philip Freier. This has been a great step forward for our school and we are eternally grateful to the many good people involved.

Parents’ Prayer Group During the third week of every month, parents and Chaplains have gathered to pray. Our thanks to Mrs Ros Thorn, who co-ordinated and encouraged the group. It has been wonderful to sit and pray in the new chapel, the heart of the School. It is written, “When two or three are gathered in my name, I am in their midst”.

The CGS Angels I would like to thank all the parents and staff that have, for many years, made casseroles and other dinners for fellow parents and staff. This humble service makes me so proud to be a part of this great school.

Mustard Spiritual mentoring is the greatest way to grow young faith. Therefore, Mustard is a vital encouragement to our boys. We would like to thank Mark Holmes from St Mark’s Camberwell for leading this group and for bringing lots of pizzas. Rev Charles Butler School Chaplain The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

Despite a busy year, it was extremely encouraging to see so many students engage in both the faith and social justice aspect of the school community. The Rotary Interact Club continued to develop under the superb leadership of the executive board. The Club is to be congratulated on successfully co-ordinating large events, such as the two movie nights and Year 8 Social. Ultimately, the Club finished the year with around 40 members and raised approximately $12,000 for both the Lighthouse Foundation and We Can’t Wait. Leaving the Club as Co-President, I have no doubt that it will continue to grow with the presence of innovative members. Towards 2050 continued combating environmental issues this year through improving the School’s waste disposal program and replacing lights with more efficient LEDs. Warrior Week saw 300 students and teachers giving up red meat and other carbon intensive products/activities for a week. Students also attended MacRobertson Girls’ Enviro Conference, furthering collaborative efforts between schools to combat global warming. Towards 2050’s work has no doubt benefited both the School and the wider global community immensely.

The Camberwell Grammar School Mustard Group also took a new direction this year with Benjamin Niemandt and myself taking over the leadership of our youth pastor, Mark. Over the past year, both Ben and I have been conducting weekly Bible studies with a group of young students, guiding them through their spiritual journeys and helping them develop as young men. There were plenty of discussions regarding the applications of religious belief, ethical and moral dilemmas, as well as social justice issues. I believe this humble group will continue to grow under the direction of the new student leaders. It was heartwarming to see a large number of charity events being organised by various Houses throughout the year. Robinson House continued its long tradition of holding the annual Street Soccer Tournament, whilst Bridgland House made full use of the new sports complex by holding the first ever Basketball Tournament. Both Clifford and Derham Houses organised a free dress day in order to raise money for cancer treatment. With the rapid increase of student engagement within the faith and social justice community, I wish Jake Brown the best of luck for next year and trust that the school will continue to grow and contribute highly to the wider community. Henry Wu Prefect for Faith and Social Justice

JUNIOR & SCHOOL LMIDDLE IAISON

This year saw the continuation of the Junior and Middle School mentoring program, which was up and running by half way through Term 1. This program involves a weekly or fortnightly commitment from Year 12 boys, who have dedicated themselves to helping the younger boys in a plethora of ways. Undoubtedly, the boys and their mentors interacted enthusiastically with one another, and consequently, all were able to take something positive away from their experiences. A reading program involving several Prep boys, with whom I was able to have the pleasure of spending much of my time, ran in conjunction with the usual mentoring program, on Mondays and Fridays. Starting from Term 2, it was very gratifying to see the boys gradually improving their reading abilities in terms of their recognition and sounding out of words over the course of the year. The boys approached their reading with passion and, remained focused throughout their morning sessions. Occasionally the regular pace of these sessions was diversified by the interesting conversations that we had. Having been able to make such improvements in such little time, it’s exciting to speculate how much more they might be able to achieve in the future. The Prep 100 Days celebration made a comeback again this year, with some Year 12 boys dressing up as 100-year-old men and helping out with the running of the day. The boys were intrigued by the unfamiliar ‘old men’ in their classroom and they participated joyfully in a range of activities including butter making and snakes and ladder. The last major liaison event was marked by the annual Prefects versus Year 5 soccer match. Indeed, there was fierce competition during the match; however, the Prefects were ultimately dominated by their superior opposition. Congratulations to the Year 5 boys who played skilfully and with such great sportsmanship. Congratulations to Sahil Balgovind for assuming the role of Junior and Middle School Liaison Prefect for 2018. All the best!

Junior School Communication, teamwork, problem-solving, initiative and enterprise, planning and organising, self-management and technology skills are the skills which future employers are looking for. As educators, it is not only our job to help our students develop these attributes, but to also continue to refine our own skills and model these to our students and colleagues. As a result, this year the teachers in the Junior School worked collaboratively to create and deliver presentations which shared areas of expertise and interest. Topics included Differentiation, Seven Steps to Writing, Chinese, PE games, Teaching Boys, Art and Literature, Monitoring Growth, STEM, Gifted Education and Pre-Prep exploration. The presentations challenged us, developed our skills and gave us personal satisfaction with learning something new. Running parallel with this has been the continuation of focused classroom observations. This technique allows teachers to observe each other and then follow up with a discussion. The Junior School staff have established a culture of trust and constructive support through this feedback process. The boys have responded well and are familiar with having more than one teacher in the classroom. This year, Ms Sandy Blajer has led the teachers through a series of workshops on Positive Education and character development. Positive Education focuses on specific skills that strengthen relationships, build positive emotions, enhance personal resilience, promote mindfulness and encourage a healthy lifestyle. The teachers have explored the character traits and have been working on embedding activities into the curriculum. Smiling Mind and our Emotional Intelligence Program all promote wellness and mindfulness and have become essential parts of our Junior School program.

Boys who are identified as requiring further extension have been involved in activities such as Maths Olympiad, mathematics extension activities and the GATEWAYS program. Mrs. Morgan has continued to run a morning mathematics assistance class and 2017 has seen the continuation of the Norge Learning Gym. This is a before school program designed to support the boys in the upper primary years, requiring assistance with study and organisational skills. The boys in Year 5 were given the opportunity to enter into the Science Talent Search. This year we had several successful Year 5 entries, including several bursaries. Our Weekly Writers’ Competition has continued this year, giving boys an opportunity to express themselves as young writers. Special days such as the Year 5 Leadership Day, Science, Maths and Health Day are always fabulous opportunities for the boys to work on activities in multi-age or House groups. These special days include activities which promote co-operation, teamwork and time management skills and are a lot of fun. This year Theatre Club has run after school with Mr Matthew McRae. There have been many dramatic enthusiasts who have taken the opportunity to develop their performance skills. Club Norge has also provided students the opportunity to work together across year levels through their sports activities and Chess Club on a Friday afternoon, is a very popular activity. 2017 has seen the introduction of Norge Now. This program, run by Ms Kelly Day and Mr Andrew Crosby, focuses on Lego Robotics. In this exciting program, the boys have had an opportunity to work in teams to program robots using sensors and motors. Parent Information Sessions are a way of informing the parent community of what

is being taught and the ways in which they can help at home. Four sessions were held this year. The first session was for parents of Prep and Year 1 students regarding the teaching of reading and how parents can help. The second session was held for parents of Years 4 and 5 students to explain the iPad program. The third session was in Term 4 for the parents in Year 5 informing parents about the Sex Education program and finally a session was run for Junior School parents about the Life Education program and the importance of health education in schools. Boys in Year 12 this year were recruited by the Year 12 Junior School Liaison Prefect, Jeremy Yi. The boys all look forward to the Senior School boys visiting and assisting with the classroom programs. We appreciate the time the boys give up in their busy Year 12 schedules. It is always a pleasure to see former Junior School boys revisit and see their mentoring and leadership skills develop. The Junior School teachers would like to acknowledge the support they have received this year from parents and Senior School mentors. Their involvement enriches our program and demonstrates fabulous examples of teamwork in our community. Mrs Caroline Gatley Junior School Deputy Head, Curriculum

INTRODUCTION

Middle School The middle years are characterised by change: a new school (for many) with different rules and expectations, a wider social group with its own norms and accepted practices, together with the physical and emotional changes that occur as they grow from “boys into good men”, to borrow a phrase from Celia Lashley. The world around our students is also changing, and by the time they leave school to make their way through life, the world will be a very different place. Employment will be flexible and likely to change more frequently; connection with others around the world will become a natural part of their life; attitudes to technology will shift from “what can it do for me” to “what can I get it to do” – from using to creating and increased interactions and connections with people and organisations in other countries will require broader, more refined communication skills. Fluency in several languages will be increasingly helpful to them in their working lives. Our core task in the Middle School is to look after the students in our care. To help them navigate confidently through a maze of new challenges – intellectual, social and personal – and to engender a genuine love of learning, so that they can progress in their studies and also become more confident in their physical and social lives. It is also our responsibility – and we feel it keenly – to prepare each student for life beyond school; to provide opportunities for them to practise new skills, develop and test their ideas, and work with others, on a local and global scale.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

Our response to these challenges infiltrates every aspect of school life; from the content of our curriculum – including competing on the sporting field, playing in musical ensembles, performing on stage, a wide range of other activities – to the passing conversations we have with students, and the relationships we build together, day by day. The whole school pastoral care review, which started this year, seeks to identify core values upon which we can build a sequential developmental program, engendering important life skills such as emotional intelligence, digital capability and responsibility, mindfulness, and also allowing students time and an appropriate context for considering what it is to be kind and respectful to others, in our school community and the wider world. There is an increasing focus in the classroom on developing activities that allow students to articulate and test their own ideas, to try and to fail – to learn. The most obvious examples include the various STEM projects. But this thinking, and these types

of skills, increasingly pervade every subject, from designing excursions in Year 7, developing thinking skills through the Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) activities, to designing and marketing a medieval castle, based on specified topographical constraints and the ability to thwart likely intruders. Our curriculum is always changing – perhaps now more than ever. But underlying this change is a consistent goal: to do what we can to help our boys grow into fine young men. We want them to become confident architects of their own lives, with the personal and intellectual skills they need to forge their way in the world, to treat others with respect and kindness, and to develop sensitive, considered views about the issues and challenges– whatever they may be – that they may face throughout their lives. Mr Rob French Head of Middle School

INTRODUCTION

Senior School If you are of a certain age, you may have had a conversation with your General Practitioner about the Mediterranean diet. Based on large-scale studies, researchers concluded that people living around that region had very good health outcomes and longevity, and were worthy of both study and imitation. Consequently, there was a list of guidelines about how one should eat food (slowly), what one should eat, as well as the recommendation for a glass of wine to go with the meal. The logic behind this was that if we imitate successful practices, we are likely to have improved outcomes as well. The Mediterranean diet attempted to mimic both the types of food eaten as well as the context in which it was consumed. The question that teachers regularly ask is, “how do I know my students are learning?” At an international level, governments send research teams to Finland, Singapore, Shanghai and South Korea to see whether they can figure out the content (that is, the curriculum) as well as the educational context in which it is delivered so that the success of those systems may be transferred back to the host country. As in the case of the Mediterranean diet, we want to know the sort of curriculum that is being consumed and the setting in which that takes place. At a much more local level, schools like Camberwell Grammar have long facilitated three types of learning. The first and most obvious is academic learning that is taught 16

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

in classrooms, laboratories, art studios and performance spaces. The degree to which this learning is internalised and mastered is measured by regular and formal assessments. In this way, we can track a student’s progress and compare it with the progress of the other students in the School, and even in the State. The second sort of learning is garnered through experience – where a broad range of activities enable students to benefit personally. This may include overseas trips, camping with the Cadet Unit, debating and public speaking, sporting competitions between schools, and music performances. In each of these cases, students would benefit, but we may be unable to say how their learning or degree of mastery has improved or increased. Most of the feedback we receive about this sort of learning is anecdotal and qualitative. The third sort of learning involves teaching and learning in ways that are also hard to measure. It is the teaching and learning of non-academic skills for life. While we have been teaching these skills for a very long time, the relatively new question regards whether we can assess learning in this area. In the Senior School for example, Heads of House have Health and Human Relations classes with students where they go over issues such as mental health, drugs and alcohol, and interpersonal relationships. In Year 11, a substantial portion of the Religious Education classes have been devoted to a leadership program that focuses on understanding human emotions

to better deal with other people. These learning experiences are in neither of the two categories mentioned above, they are neither academic nor strictly experiential, but something in between. But, just because the skills acquired are not readily examinable in the usual pen-and-paper format, does it mean that we should not teach them or that we have no way of knowing whether there has been an improvement in the areas of interest? One way to assess the outcomes is by checking with the learner himself. We can ask students if they feel they have improved in their appreciation of emotional intelligence, or in their awareness of the dangers of drugs of addiction. There are surveys that can be undertaken before and after the unit of learning to give us feedback on the effectiveness of the program. Of course, this means of assessment is subjective, but that is appropriate since the only concern of this form of curriculum is whether the learner has moved forward in his understanding; there is no need to compare that improvement with that of other students. We cannot apply this form of assessment to a subject like Mathematics (“do you feel you understand differential calculus more after the unit of teaching?”) because we are concerned with an improvement that is objectively measurable and we do seek to compare an individual’s performance with that of a wider group. Mr Dayan Ramalingam Head of Curriculum (Years 9-12)

T N E M T R A P E D S E T O N Chinese 2017 is the year of the fire rooster on the Chinese calendar and a fire rooster is trustworthy, with a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility at work. The Chinese Department followed this timeline and organised a series of activities. In Term 1, Year 8 students enjoyed a Chinese film at ACMI and a trip to Chinatown. In April, Camberwell Grammar School established two sister school relationships with two other schools in China, in Hangzhou and one in Xi’an. Students from our sister school in Hangzhou visited us in Term 3 and spent a week with our Junior and Middle School students. In Term 3, three of our students participated in a Global Village Bilingual Speaking competition and the final of the competition was successfully held at Camberwell Grammar on 30 July and Shourodip Pal won third prize in the final. On Wednesday 9 August, a Chinese cultural day was held at school and over 500 students enjoyed four cultural activities, including panda making, paper cutting, playing the Chinese harp and Chinese martial Kongfu. Students also had a taste of delicious Chinese food. Year 9 students went to see a Chinese film and had a lovely meal in Chinatown. On Wednesday 23 August, Year 10 students participated in a Chinese Cultural Day in Melbourne with other 2000 students from 40 different schools in Victoria and enjoyed many cultural activities and performances. As part of the 1070 Confucius Classroom worldwide, our students took part in many activities by Confucius Institutes in Melbourne. One of our students, Hamish Wong, won second prize in a photo competition this year. Our students also actively participated in various competitions organised by the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Victoria. Our teachers have been heavily involved in the design, implementation and assessment of Chinese VCE studies and we have also developed a new Chinese character and vocabulary list for our students, which will be implemented in 2018. Oscar Lu was rewarded with a Premier Award for Chinese Secondary Language Advanced this year. Camberwell Grammar was the first school to introduce the teaching of Chinese in Australia in 1958 and it will be our 60-year anniversary next year.

INTRODUCTION

Commerce Commercial activity continues to underpin the prosperity of modern society. It can determine the success or otherwise of our existence and a sound understanding of how it operates is an integral part of our students’ education. Knowledge of commerce enhances both the quality of participation by individuals and the sound operation of commercial society as a whole. Commerce at Camberwell Grammar School is dynamic and ensures that students are equipped with up-to-date skills. Facing postal plebiscites on samesex marriage, understanding why dual citizenship is not allowed for our politicians and why people like Derryn Hinch and Pauline Hanson have a voice in Parliament are all issues dealt with. Main areas of focus are civics and citizenship education, the legal framework, the operation of the economic and financial system and the world of work. Commerce is taught as an elective subject in Years 9 and 10 and at this level the curriculum is self-contained in that many of the offerings provide knowledge and skills relevant to the current and future commercial activities in which all students will be engaged. Financial literacy is an integral part of both the Year 9 and 10 course assisting students in budgeting, use of credit and loans, service contracts and investment. At the VCE level Commerce branches into the specialist areas of Accounting, Economics and Legal Studies. Most of Commerce learning is done through experience and when this cannot be done through the use of technology, we transport the students to view the world in operation through excursions and external competitions. Visits to the Supreme and County Courts, the Melbourne Justice Museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, Parliament and Kareenga Prison Facility, provide ample opportunities for students to learn directly from the horse’s mouth. The department also provides students with access to participate in the Australian Stock Exchange Share Market Game and invest $50,000. The department continues to have dynamic staff who add experience, vitality and collegiality to the program. They have enthusiasm for their subject area and their role in developing young lives and the students are fortunate to have them as teachers. Mr Andrew Warne Head of Commerce 18

Department Notes The progressive roll out of Parent Access to Schoology will continue in 2018, meaning that from next year parents of students from Year 6 to Year 11 will have access to their sons’ coursework information on Schoology. This will enable real time reporting of progress and results to parents for the majority of the School in the lead up to Parent-Teacher interviews and end of semester reports. Online reporting via Schoology has replaced Interim Reports for students in the Middle School and this is being progressively rolled out to the Senior School, beginning with Year 9 in 2018. We hope this will give parents greater ease in communicating in a responsive manner with their sons and teachers about their academic progress. Mr Matthew Wood Head of E Learning

English The year was again full of reading, listening, viewing, speaking and writing opportunities in English classes across all year levels. The School is no doubt blessed with dedicated staff members that impart knowledge and a passion for enquiry. The Middle School continues to embrace the demands of technological change with full engagement of the Schoology platform. Ably led by Mr Colin Stein, course outlines, questions, quizzes, tasks, sample material and assessments are all clearly presented to help students engage in their studies. This year saw the migration of Schoology access more formally into the Senior School. Giving feedback on essays and marking assessment rubrics online has altered the way teachers have had to approach their craft. The transition to offering feedback in such a manner will continue to evolve over the coming years and promises to deliver new opportunities to report progress to students and their parents. The demands of co-ordinating courses falls primarily to a team of teachers who continue to volunteer time, experience and expertise, to ensure the smooth running of the curriculum. Mr Matthew Aram successfully navigated alterations to the Year 10 course to better cater for changes at the VCE level and to implement new texts accordingly. Mrs Kathryn Smith and Ms Penelope Wood continued their fine work in Years 11 and 12. Their conscientious attitude ensured the VCAA content and required skills in each course were delivered in a manner that provided excellent opportunities for students to develop a deep understanding of the material covered. English Language has now cemented itself as a viable option for students in VCE, this year, having two classes in Year 11 and two in Year 12. Under the watchful eye of Mr James Victor, the subject promises to be popular in the years ahead. Not surprisingly, Literature holds a special position under the tutelage of the evergreen Mr John Allen. His passion for literature and his astute reading of the written word in a range of text types ensures that the analysis and discussion undertaken are always of the highest level.

The final point to note is in many ways the most important. The students continue to invest a great deal of time into their English studies and produce some breathtaking responses. The development of skills over many years culminates in VCE studies, where analytical, persuasive and creative demands are often met with assuredness. Of particular note are our prize recipients. Congratulations to James Saligari for being awarded the Brian Gill Memorial Prize for English, to Adrian Xu for his achievement in securing the highly sought after Mervyn Britten Award, and to Timothy Ng for securing the equally prestigious Shirley Thomas William Goodwin Prize for Literature. Mr Rick Mason Head of English

English as an Additional Language In 2017, Camberwell Grammar School ran EAL classes for Year 9 to 12 students. The Year 9 and 10 composite class was taught by Mr James Victor, and Mr Michael Daniel taught the Year 11 and 12 classes. As in previous years, Year 9 and 10 students used the Headway Course. For the first time in a number of years, the Year 11 EAL students were in a class with some mainstream English students. The texts studied included To Kill a Mockingbird, and Twelve Angry Men. The Year 12 cohort, taught by Mr Michael Daniel, was the first class to undertake the new Units 3/4 EAL course. New components of this course included a listening comprehension task, and comparison of texts. Students completed regular listening comprehension practice tasks, usually based on material from the ABC – Radio National website. For the comparative text study, students read the Australian play Black Diggers that explores the experience of indigenous soldiers during and following World War One; and The Longest Memory, which is set on a plantation in Virginia in the early nineteenth century. Mr Daniel co-authored three

volume examination preparation guides for EAL students published by Insight Publications. He also delivered a presentation on the listening comprehension task to teachers at the Victorian Association of Teachers of English conference in February.

Enrichment Over the course of a year, many opportunities are presented to boys throughout the School to engage in a broad range of enrichment activities which are related to, but separate from, the normal course of the standard syllabus. In the Junior School opportunities are presented which extend the boys in Mathematics, Literature, Sciences, and Performing Arts. In the Middle School an Enrichment Program runs in Term 2 and 3 which enables boys to leave class and participate in an enriching experience, pitched at a more sophisticated level and provides breadth and depth to their knowledge as well as teaching new skills. Units of enrichment work in philosophy, digital circuits and logic, mathematics, the ASX Sharemarket Game, computer programming and extended knowledge in English grammar have all formed part of this program. Other opportunities have arisen outside the school boundaries, providing boys with the opportunity to debate, participate in Model United Nations and chess competitions, robotics, and opportunities afforded boys to work in teams in competitions such as the da Vinci Decathlon and Indigenous Studies. Every year brings added opportunities for students to extend their basic knowledge and engage in the real world with real life challenges. Mr Paul Double Head of Enrichment

INTRODUCTION

It has been another busy year for French. Here are some of the highlights: After a very promising start to the new Camberwell Grammar-Lyon exchange last year, four students were selected to participate in this year’s reciprocal exchange with Lycée Assomption Bellevue. Five ’Lyonnais‘ arrived in winter to experience life here in Melbourne and Camberwell Grammar and several made their presence known within the school by proving to be secret weapons for a couple of the school soccer teams during the winter season! In December, Lachlan Doig, Spike Johnson, Linus Opat and Emre Cakmakcioglu will embark on the second part of the exchange where they will experience a French Christmas and New Year with their Lyon hosts. I look forward to seeing them in Lyon this December. In other news, we had many boys compete in the Alliance Française Berthe Mouchette Competition again this year. In 2017, 34 students were awarded 19/20 or above in the oral component —a poetry recitation for Years 7 to 10 and a nine minute conversation and in-depth discussion for VCE students, which resulted in 15 state finalists. Furthermore, some classes were chosen to sit the written examination. This year, two students were state finalists in both oral and written components of the competition. Bravo to Tory Crosgrove and Christian Chene, who were both in the ‘Hors Catégorie’ section. Four of our most talented and enthusiastic students of French participated in a French United Nations Model conference on the topic of Asylum Seekers and Refugees: A Global Humanitarian Crisis. Michael Josefsson, Jake Brown, Michael Tan and Christian Chéné, represented Switzerland, one of 20 francophone countries present on the day. The entire day was conducted in French and extended even the most proficient French speakers. For the second year, selected Year 9 and 10 students, attended the Soirée Trivia held at Fintona Girls’ School in July. We had several teams participate and even win some French trivia with fun cultural, historical, geographic and linguistics brain-teasers. In the September holidays, Mr Ken Da Costa led 21 students to Paris and its surrounds on the biennial French Cultural Tour. With the assistance of Mr Jason Hall, Mr Williamson and Mr Wells, the group indulged in the best of Paris’ museums, galleries, food and shopping, including Paris’ famous flea markets. Merci infiniment à toute l’équipe! Ms Naomi Eckersley Head of French

In 2017 the Geography department continued to develop and evolve, not only the Australian curriculum, but also the newly introduced VCE suite of topics across both Year 11 and 12. As part of this ongoing development, new fieldwork sites had been selected and this has led to new and varied opportunities for our students on excursions.

VCE Global Politics Units 3 and 4 continued to provoke heated debate among students over such immediate issues as globalisation, transnational terrorism, the emergence of China as a superpower and the US Alliance, not to mention North Korea and the antics of the US President. Also, with two classes in 2017, the Year 12 Revolutions course remains popular with Humanities students. Involving in-depth studies of the Russian and Chinese revolutions, students enjoy grappling with Communist ideology and learning about such fascinating characters as Lenin, Rasputin and Mao Zedong.

2017 has continued to be a very busy and productive year for students of Indonesian. Year 12 students once again attended the Indonesian film festival at ACMI where they had the opportunity to view the best in Indonesian film. This year, students viewed Sekola Rimba, a film focused on environmental issues and the devastating effects of deforestation in the Sumatran jungle. This focus enabled students to gain an insightful view of this issue — a main area of study in the VCE Indonesian program.

In Unit 2, students visited the Docklands precinct to study the impacts and management of tourism. The students boarded the Elizabeth Anne vessel and enjoyed a 40-minute cruise along the Yarra’s Edge and Docklands precincts with commentary from the captain focussing on the tourism operating in the region. The information gathered from the student led data collection methods in both Southbank and Docklands was utilised in their Fieldwork Report in readiness for their first Year 12 School Assessed Coursework (SAC). The Fieldwork Report in Year 12 utilises similar data collection methods and the same report structure, but focuses on Moorabbin Airport as the fieldwork site and addresses its past and present land use and change. Students on this excursion, to better gain an appreciation of the regional context of the airport and surrounds, enjoyed a 15-minute helicopter flight in the luxurious Eurocoptor EC. For both staff and students experiencing Moorabbin Airport, Port Phillip Bay and the entire South Eastern Corridor from the air was an unforgettable experience. I would like to thank the Geography staff, Mr Ian March, Ms Jennifer Turnnidge, Ms Katrina Massey, Ms Victoria Papaioannou and Mr Michael Daniel for their continued hard work and support. Mr Tim Cross Head of Geography

Two Year 11 History classes have enjoyed the Units 1 and 2 twentieth-century History course, which focuses on the tumultuous years from 1900 to 2000 that included such momentous events as two world wars, the rise and fall of Nazism and Communism and the Cold War. This year was the fifth year of the compulsory Australian Curriculum History course at Years 9 and 10, and, despite the battering given to the course by some politicians, it continues to be favourably received by our students. The course is important in educating responsible Australian citizens, focusing, as they do, on such topics as the impact of European settlement on Indigenous Australians; the key political movements (for example, Imperialism and Nationalism) that have shaped the modern world; the Holocaust during World War 2; and the issues of refugees and asylum seekers.

In August, 61 Years 9 and 10 students also had the opportunity to attend the Melbourne International Film Festival at ACMI to watch an Indonesian film. After the viewing, students enjoyed an Indonesian meal at Nuris in Melbourne Central where they had the opportunity to taste authentic Indonesian cuisine. Film excursions are an enjoyable part of language learning, and students have the opportunity of seeing other schools participate in these events, as well as practise their listening and speaking skills. Year 8 students were also very fortunate to attend an excursion to Ceres where they learnt Indonesian dance, batik painting and bargained for souvenirs using their Indonesian skills. In all a very enjoyable experience and one we will be continuing each year.

My thanks go to all staff in the Department for their enthusiasm in instilling a love of history in the boys. Dr Graham Morey-Nase Head of History

Information Technology

INTRODUCTION

In 2017 Satya Nadella, Leader of Microsoft, answered a question that he had been asking himself since taking over in 2014: “Why did the company need to exist?” After coming close to achieving their original aim of “a Windows PC on every desk”, Microsoft discovered a new life under its new leader, who answered his question with another: “How do we go and solve some of the pressing problems of the world?” The company was to provide the answers through its new empathetic, growth mindset: “That’s how I feel about technology and our purpose.”

beneficial for Year 12 students who were able to practise their conversational skills.

This year for the very first time, the Indonesian Department was involved in the ASEAN Bridge Program under the auspice of the Asia Education Foundation. The program provides unique learning opportunities to connect students, teachers and school communities internationally. The Bridge program aims to build intercultural understanding through connecting with peers and enhancing language skills through the authentic use of language with native speakers. It also aims to deliver teacher exchanges and collaboration of assignments. We had the pleasure of hosting Puan Azarina from Ipoh, Malaysia, who enjoyed her Homestay visits with Ms Jessica McCormack, Mr Hamish Green and myself. Puan Azarina felt very privileged to be involved in this exchange and enjoyed her time spent at Camberwell Grammar. Mr Hamish Green will be reciprocating a similar visit to her school in April 2018. We were also fortunate with the help of Mr Ken Da Costa, to host three Indonesian student teachers from Bandung University for three weeks which helped invigorate the Indonesian program. This was especially

In conclusion, I would like to welcome Ms Jessica McCormack to the Indonesian Department, who, along with Ms Penny Runge and Mr Hamish Green are dedicated, enthusiastic and hard working colleagues. Their efforts continue to make Indonesian an interesting and enjoyable language for all our students. Ms Janet Sharman Head of Indonesian

Information Technology at Camberwell Grammar School has certainly adopted a growth mindset. This year a group of Year 9 students entered the International Information Security competition for the first time. In addition, we have now fully implemented our EV3 Robotics program for Middle School with the Year 8s working towards automating their robots to perform simple tasks unaided. The introduction of electronics and micro controller programming last year has been a great success and this year we have continued to develop this course with our Year 10s. Assignments now require a 3D printed element to enhance the usability of their projects. This has seen some very exciting works from the students, where they have planned, wired and programmed their own basic electronic devices. Due to the open-ended nature of the task some of the devices ended up being quite advanced. In addition, a number of students accepted the challenge to create their own original 3D works to house and enhance their electronics. Programming micro controllers and robots exposes students to the problem solving growth mindset that is critically valuable today. In Year 9 Information Technology a unit on Unity 3D was introduced. Within this course the students experimented with game making and

Latin Staff and Year 11 and 12 students began 2017 still basking in the aura of a wonderful Latin Tour some few months before: the majestic Pantheon with its marvellous domed ceiling, the immensity of the Colosseum, the poignant ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, cruising the aquamarine waters of the Croatian coast, scaling the great stone walls of Dubrovnik, and, of course, let us not forget the daily gelato sampling. In the classroom, Dr Tebb Kusserow, Head of Latin, was delighted to be teaching VCE Classical Studies again, after a hiatus of some years dedicated to renovating the Latin curriculum and integrating it with the new Schoology platform. Classical Studies students delved into Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Bacchae, and deepened their appreciation of the majestic Parthenon. Meanwhile, under the guidance of Mr John Tuckfield and Dr Tebb Kusserow, Year 12 Latinists tackled the masterwork of Latin literature, Virgil’s

Aeneid. Book 8, the set text for this year, follows the adventures of the work’s hero, Aeneas, as he lands in Italy, seeks to forge alliances with the locals there, and receives as a gift from his goddess mother, Venus, a magical shield emblazoned with gilded images of the destiny he is to fulfil. In Year 11, Dr Kusserow and Mr Tuckfield once again introduced classes to the Carthaginian general Hannibal’s elephants and the Roman emperor Nero’s excesses. Year 10s, meanwhile, explored the world of plot and intrigue behind the scenes in the Emperor Domitian’s palace, whilst Year 9 students soldiered forward with the Roman army in 1st century AD Britain. The experienced leadership of teachers Mr Victor and Mr Daniel proved invaluable as students grappled with bracketing recalcitrant clauses, distinguishing datives from ablatives and translating the quirky gerundive—all in a day’s work for a Latin codebreaker. In the Middle School, Dr David Bird and Mr Sam Gough continued to guide our junior Latinists through storylines detailing the exploits of Caecilius, the sinister shadow of Mount Vesuvius always looms as their backdrop. One of the most satisfying sights for members of our department was to observe Mr Gough back at the whiteboard and infusing lessons with all his characteristic enthusiasm and vitality, after having suffered a bout of serious illness last year that sidelined him for a whole semester. On that auspicious omen, I conclude this report: 2017 has indeed been an enriching and exciting year, and we look forward to more of the same in 2018.

Learning Support The Learning Support Department provides classes focused on explicit instruction and targeted skill development for each of our students so that they can achieve optimal outcomes. The teachers in this department work with students in a variety of ways. This includes the provision of Literacy and Numeracy programs for students with a diagnosed Specific Learning Difficulty, as well as individual or small group sessions which are designed to target skill development for students who may need additional time and support to consolidate their learning. We are driven by a belief that when provided with such opportunities the boys can and will experience success in their learning. Throughout 2017 we have been busy reviewing and developing Learning Profiles for each of our students, redesigning the Learning Support curriculum and setting up an effective system of diagnostic testing to track and monitor students’ progress through their educational journey at Camberwell Grammar. Another aspect of our work is to consult with classroom teachers and to provide educational support about learning difficulties. This includes professional development sessions for our colleagues so they can gain a better understanding of how to utilise the Learning Profiles and make the necessary adjustments in the teaching and assessment cycle for students in their classrooms.

programming in a format which ensured that the larger conceptual aspects of the task were never forgotten. Students saw for themselves how the physics, graphical and user input elements all affect each other. While learning, specific languages remains helpful, it is the ability to piece together solutions algorithmically with the broader picture in mind that will lead students to greater success in their further studies, and in their rich and varied careers. An understanding of the programming elements of a 3D environment will leave students well placed to solve problems in a world of augmented or “mixed reality”.

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics Mathematics students at Camberwell Grammar enjoyed continued success in their studies and in various competitions throughout the year. It is pleasing to note that nearly all students take some mathematics in their VCE studies and large numbers of students elect to take the most advanced mathematics options on offer and go on to achieve excellent results. Our students have had a particularly successful year with competitions. Around 60 students sat the University of Melbourne Mathematics Competition in May. This is a very challenging two hour examination for Year 7 and 8 students and a three hour examination for students in higher years. 19 of our students were prize winners in 2017 and Charles Li of Year 11 was placed second overall in the Senior Division. All students in Year 6 to 10 and selected students in Years 11 and 12 compete in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Our students often perform well in this competition and 2017 was no exception. A large number of students were awarded Distinction and High Distinction certificates. Seven students who did particularly well were awarded prizes this year. These prizes are awarded only to the top 0.3% of students who sit the competition. The prize winning students were Alastair Joshi, Tory Crosgrove and Ming Jin Low, Oliver Papillo, Andrew Zeng, Ian Chen and Oscar Lu. 2017 marked the first time that we had enrolled a large number of students in the Computational and Algorithmic Thinking competition. This is a relatively new competition which challenges students with problems that require careful, logical thought, bridging the gap between mathematics and computer science. Many of our strongest mathematical minds performed very well in this competition. Of particular note was Charles Li, who received a perfect score on the senior paper. Students from various year levels participated throughout the year in Mathematics Games Days organised by the Mathematical Association of Victoria. While all our students did well, this year our Year 10 team consisting of Oliver Papillo, Ian Chen, Michael Pham and Joshua Dai achieved first place at Trinity Grammar School, competing against 65 other teams from schools throughout Victoria. 24

These and the many other notable achievements of our students are possible only because of the excellent work of the Mathematics Department staff in the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools. The enthusiasm and dedication that they have for the subject is what inevitably leads to the fantastic results enjoyed by our students. Dr David Rodgers Head of Mathematics

Physical Education Wow, what a year! We moved into the new Sports Centre and began to use the amazing facilities. It was invigorating to see so many students using all areas of the building, not only in organised Physical Education and sport sessions, but also during their own time at lunch and after school. All students from Prep to Year 12 were again actively involved in Physical Education practical classes throughout the year, which remained the largest program in the School. At any given time, there were up to five classes running, with students participating in a range of different sports. This year we farewelled Mr Brian Nguyen at the end of Term 1, however, we are incredibly fortunate to have employed two dedicated and professional teachers to work in the department, Mr Matt Sofoulis and Mr Craig Conlan. They have fitted into the team seamlessly both on and off the field. We have also had the pleasure to work with Miss Melanie Hogg, our AFL trainee, who competently supported the seven members of the Senior School Physical Education department. The department provided a revamped multi-activity Physical Education program that introduced students to a wide range of sports with the aim to promote a lifelong participation in physical activity. Throughout this program, students engaged in activities that developed strategic thinking and tactical knowledge to improve individual and team performance. We maximised the use of our new pool by re-introducing swimming units across Year 7 to 10 and a Water Safety programme to Year 7 and 8. The latter was scheduled towards the end of the year, as we entered the warmer months, to provide boys with exposure to potentially lifesaving skills as most will be spending time in and around water at some stage over the summer break.

Our Year 9 and 10s were given an introduction to the weights and cardio facility to empower them with the knowledge of how to train to improve their health, well-being and sport performance. Many of these students took up the opportunity to use this facility at lunch and after school under the guidance and supervision of our personal trainers. Another feature of the Year 9 curriculum is the boys’ involvement in the Sport Education in Physical Education Programme (SEPEP). In this program, the students’ participated in peer teaching and coaching situations with a focus on skill development. There was an emphasis also directed towards leadership, sporting conduct, the implementation of fair play and good sportsmanship. It is during these types of activities that students develop important life skills such as effective communication and working co-operatively with peers. The School continued to recognise the importance of Physical Education to the overall development of adolescents by offering a recreational based program in Years 11 and 12. This allows every boy to maintain healthy fitness levels during their heavy workload, understand that there should be a balance between work and other interests and reinforces the idea that physical activity should be a lifelong pursuit for all. VCE Physical Education subject enrolments allowed for two classes of Year 11 (studying Units 1 and 2) and one class of Year 12 (studying Units 3 and 4) this year. Our Year 12 students participated in an Enhancement Program that was conducted by Exercise Research Australia. Students interacted with leading Australian sport’s scientists in an elite athlete testing facility. They witness the protocols and procedures involved in conducting a VO2 max treadmill test and then discussed topics related to the findings of that test. This program also provided our Year 12 boys with the latest information in Sports Science to enhance their understanding of the key concepts covered in the VCE course. I would like to commend all Physical Education staff for working cohesively, collaboratively and professionally to provide our students with an outstanding program and we all look forward to the introduction of Sport Science as a Year 10 elective next year. Mr David Beardsley Head of Physical Education

Department Notes This year saw the second Camberwell Grammar School tour to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Our boys were engaged and inspired by this rare opportunity to participate in astronaut training exercises and gain experiences related to space travel. Teachers helped prepare the boys by conducting regular training sessions and were ably assisted by Alistair Haslam of Year 12. The boys got a sense of the magnitude of the organisation required to engineer a solution to the problem of getting humans into space. This group returned safely home with the challenge to ’Dare mighty things!’ In 2017, we have continued to develop our new directions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with activities that the boys have discovered to be challenging, engaging and fun. In Science classes this year, Year 9 students designed and constructed a device that shoots table tennis balls to strike a target. Each group has found some measure of success, but, regardless of the outcome, the room was abuzz with interest and discussion to achieve their goal. We continue to be delighted when our top students receive awards in competitions. This year, Michael Pham was presented with the top award in the ICAS Science competition at a medal ceremony. This continues the academic success for our Science students in recent years. In addition, four boys: Charles Li and Jerry Tan, Daniel Pham and Kevin Wang won the top Victorian awards in the Australian National Chemistry Quiz. During weekly training sessions, Felix Wang, Sam Yu and Oscar Lu taught keen students involved in the Chemistry Olympiad. This was

well-attended and helped the Year 11s perform remarkably in their challenging academic competitions. It is said that the person who learns most in a subject is the teacher and these students gained much experience when presenting their ideas to younger boys.

INTRODUCTION

Science

Next year our Science teachers will take a group of biology focused students on an inaugural tour of the Galapagos Islands; an event that will appeal to the naturalists of the school community and complement the Space camp tours which take place every other year. This year saw the introduction of the new VCE courses in Biology, Chemistry and Physics at Year 12. Staff were very occupied in establishing new course materials and our students responded well to the changes. They were very focused when conducting research investigations and completing their posters for the SAC assessment task. The role of Science and its offshoot, Technology, in our lives continue to accelerate with each year in our modern society. We encourage our students to be scientifically literate and have an inbuilt curiosity that encourages them to ask questions that explain their place in this fast-paced world. Neil deGrasse Tyson says it best: “Science literacy is a vaccine against the charlatans of the world that would exploit your ignorance”. If parents are considering a school for their Science-curious sons, Camberwell Grammar is a school that provides a challenging and engaging course that will help inspire them to dare mighty things.

The Weickhardt Library 2017 has been another busy and productive year in the Weickhardt Library. At the start of the year, we welcomed Mrs Regine Miriklis to our team and together supported students and teachers with research and resources and continued to promote literature and a love of reading. At the end of 2016, following discussion with students and staff, we made the decision to re-organise our fiction collection into genres. This was a huge undertaking which took nearly all of Term 1 and involved physically deciding a book’s genre, relabelling it, editing its record on the database and then organising the collections into the available spaces. The result has been a huge success with our students, who now find it easier to locate books dealing with themes that interest them and to explore other areas. We then commenced reorganising some of our non-fiction books into the curriculum or interest-focused collections and have subsequently seen an increase in borrowing and browsing in those areas. Along with these changes we have continued to develop our Middle School Wide Reading Program and have re-honed the Literature and Research Skills program for Year 6. Our spaces have been booked weekly by Chinese, English, and French reading classes and whilst fiction in print format continued to be highly popular, we saw an increased usage of our e-book and audiobook collections. We celebrated Book Week with a variety of lunchtime activities and were delighted to welcome Ms Emma Viskic, award-winning writer and member of our Music School staff, as guest speaker at our ever-popular Blokes’ Book Breakfast. Middle School Book Club and the Cartoon and Drawing Club thrived and were treated to guest speaker visits and special lunchtime activities. The Staff Book Club also drew in avid readers for book discussions. Our spaces were filled at lunchtimes and recesses with boys studying, doing homework, reading or playing the ever-popular chess. My sincere thanks to the Weickhardt Library staff, Miss Heather Falconer, Mrs Regine Miriklis, Mrs Janine Pietralla and Mrs Margaret Watt for their professionalism and commitment to providing the highest quality service to the Camberwell Grammar School community. Thank you also to Mrs Anna Emmett and Mrs Michelle Walsh in the Herborn Library; to Mr Stuart Feldt in the Audio-Visual Department and to the Computer Centre and Maintenance teams for assisting us in a multitude of ways. Finally, I would also like to thank Friends of Library, whose generosity and hard work provide so many wonderful resources for the students.

Long term and demanding projects, such as the Junior School production of the musical Ali Baba, Science Talent Search, membership of a sporting team, or the Year 5 Ensemble performance, captured the importance of being prepared to work hard for those things that are important; while at the same time, building confidence, working with others and having fun. The things we work hard for, are the things we value most. Our boys are full of the Yeti spirit, having a growth directed mind-set, and knowing that while they may not be there yet, they are working hard towards it. When things do not go the way we planned or hoped, this is when we stand to learn the most. Our boys have grit and goals. The theme of ‘Cultivating Character’ was the focus of our annual Junior School Health Morning. The boys gained a better understanding of character traits, giving them the ability to build on their strengths and use them to positively influence their own progress and contribute to the well-being of others. 2017 has been brimful of rich and diverse learning experiences and opportunities. Learning has not been confined to the classrooms. The new sports facilities, in particular, have been enjoyed by the boys and staff. The All Souls Chapel has added a new dimension to our worship program. Each boy will have his own particular memories and highlights. Among these memories may be their class camp, the concerts, soirées and performances, Health Day, Maths Day, Science Day, the Life Education

program, Theatre Club, Robotics, sports days, the projects and presentations, excursions and incursions, Open Day, assemblies, Book Week, or some other special activity or experience. It has been an interesting, exciting and rewarding year for us all. We welcomed Miss Kelly Day and Mr Mathew McRae as Year 5 and 3 teachers respectively. Rev Greg Davies returned to resume the Junior School Chaplain role, and Miss Stephanie Barras became our First Aid Officer and assistant to Mrs Dune Richards in the Junior School reception. At the conclusion of this year, we will bid farewell to a splendid group of fifth grade boys, thank them for their contribution to the Junior School, and wish them well in their next stage of schooling. They have done a fine job as leaders of the Junior School, and they will leave with many fond memories and confidence in themselves. They are well prepared and ready to embrace the Middle School experience. We are blessed with an incredible community that rallies to support the School and each other. Throughout the year, the Junior School has received tremendous support from the parent community. The Friends of Norge have once again been astonishing in all they have done to build our community and provide support and care. Our convenors, Jenny Thurlby, Ivy Lun, Roula Andreopoulos, Isabelle Tilley and Atid Page had very generous and enthusiastic support from fellow parents, resulting in very successful and enjoyable events such as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfasts, Open Day and Footy Day. Additionally, parents provided valuable assistance in the library, classrooms and excursions; all contributing to making our school a better and more interesting place.

We made cubbies for the beanie babies. We took them to school. We made cars with the crates and took them for a ride. We made them lunch and then we made beds for them to sleep in.

We put water into the wheel and it fell through into the tub. We used the bigger containers to make the water wheel go faster.

I liked to type on the keyboard and write in the books. I liked to call the police and ambulance on the telephone. Tobias Mitchell

Dressing Up

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt We watched a show called We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. At Pre-Prep, we made a pretend bear hunt. We used the blocks and ribbon to make the trees. We used material to walk through. It was the grass. We used a box to make a cave for the bear. Alexander Yakop and Justin Ji

PREP Quantum Victoria We went to Quantum Victoria because we were learning about ‘Push and Pull’. First, we went on a school bus. Then we went inside the Quantum building and got into our groups. The first activity we did was measure how far toy cars can go when powered by a balloon. We used a ruler to measure. Our next activity was making our own balloon rockets. We saw how far they travel. It was exciting! Zachary Lim, Liam Williams and Nathan Cheung

Melbourne Zoo Prep went to the Melbourne Zoo because we were learning about ‘Living Things’. We went with our Year 5 buddies. We saw lots of butterflies. They were pretty.

Ethan Aw, William Cao, Leonardo Tahn and Riaan Kumar

Hosting Our First Assembly This year we hosted our first assembly. We were hosts and speakers in Term 3. We presented in groups of four. We had to learn our part. Then we had to practise in front of the class. Finally, we presented at assembly. At first, we were a bit nervous. Afterwards we felt amazing! Some of us would like to host in Year 1. Jonas Fowler, Zachary Madden and Keaghan Ho

Book Week In Term 3, we had Book Week. First, we dressed up as book characters. Next, we went to assembly and we went in lines to show our costumes. We had lots of fun and had a really good day.

Learning to Read and Write

In Term 3 we celebrated 100 Days of School. First, we dressed up as old men. Next, we built towers with 100 cups. Then we made our 100 cookies. We painted 100 dots, it was fun! We made butter like they did 100 years ago. In the afternoon, we had a special party lunch. We had a lovely day!

In Prep, we learned to read and write. We practise writing our letters every day. We use our books to do handwriting. We use our yellow THRASS charts to help us sound out. We like writing our daily sentences. We like writing weekend and holiday recounts and reading them out to the class. We love writing, reading and spelling.

Bennett Lu, Sebastian Sun, Kristian Kedzierski and Gaius Pillemer

Wild Action Zoo The Wild Action Zoo came to our classroom because we were learning about ‘Living Things’. We saw animals and they were kind and cute. We touched the animals. We saw snakes and bats.

YEAR 1 Jump Rope for Heart

We were learning about materials and we had to create playground projects. We designed them at school and made our projects at home. We had lots of materials that we collected at the Reverse Art Truck. We used hot glue guns to stick them together. Some people had colourful playgrounds. Some people had treehouses and some had slides. All of them looked nice!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Year 5 were speedy, so speedy that they could do ten jumps in one minute! There were lots of different activities. It was very fun. There were lots of games and one of the games was deadly snakes. Another game was a challenge to do 100 jumps. We got to eat watermelon after a few activities. ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ was so much fun!

My Place in Space

Eureka Tower Excursion

Book Week

We created a ‘My Place in Space’ book in the Year 1 classroom because we were learning about special places. We had six pages. We did a map with our Year 5 Buddies on the laptops. We also drew a bird’s eye view map of our bedrooms, a Venn diagram comparing our bedroom and our favourite room. We even used Lego to build our bedroom too. It was really fun to make.

Vroom! Vroom! We went on the bus to the city. We got off and went inside. The lift was very fast. It was the fastest lift in Melbourne. Everyone’s ears popped. When we were up the top, people looked like ants and we felt like giants. We saw lots of buildings, the MCG, Etihad Stadium, Government House and Federation Square. We had a wonderful time.

This year the Book Week theme was ‘Escape to Everywhere’. It was amazing! Everybody did a great job with their costumes. People dressed up as Harry Potter, Willy Wonka, Ninjago and lots more. Ms Blajer was the Queen of Hearts. We had an author visit us too, and read us all her stories.

Reverse Art Truck Excursion Zoom! Zoom! We rode on the bus to the ‘Reverse Art Truck’. We went to collect materials to make our playground projects. We collected things like bottles, wood, fake grass and boxes. There was so much to choose from. We made our playground models at home and our parents came into the classroom to have a look at them. Mine was amazing and Aiden’s was amazing as well!

Mad About Science Bubble Incursion Pop! Pop! Pop! We were learning about liquids and gases, and we had a Bubble Incursion. We liked making the bubbles using all different things like straws, mesh and little bottles. We also liked popping the bubbles and blowing bubbles with the straws. It was really fun, the best time ever!

Lee Li and Lucas Morey

Swimming Swimming was so much fun! We have a brand-new sports centre and a new big gym! We have two swimming pools. One is big and one is small. We learned how to do freestyle, backstroke, diving, torpedo and treading water. The first time we went into the swimming pool we couldn’t believe our eyes because it was sparkling! You should go one day. Zakariya Huq and Connor Le Page

Aiden Luo and Thomas Robertson-Brown

Year 5 Buddies We love Fridays. Why? Because we get to see our Year 5 Buddies! Our favourite thing to do with our buddies was use ‘Scratch Junior’. We used iPads and learned to code!

2 R A E Y

Life Education Silk Worms The silkworms were in a box with lots of Mulberry leaves. They were white and looked like caterpillars. Mrs Collins talked about the silk worms and she put some holes in the lid of the box so they could breathe. They spun a yellow cocoon that looked like a little spiral. They spin silk. They turn into moths which are white. They mate and lay eggs. The life cycle starts again. Antony Tsui and Conrad Chau

Yarrabee We went to Yarrabee in Term 3. We learned about the olden days and we had fun. First, we went into the school house. We learned how to do olden day handwriting and we learned about the punishments. We didn’t like them. Finally, we got to play and we played Kick the Can, Tiggy, sack-races and other olden day games, it was fun. Lachlan Barnes, Matthew Leake and Alexander Kanarev

Computer Lab In Term 2, Year 2 went to the computer lab to make Super Bugs. We had different choices for body parts for the head, the thorax and the abdomen. There were also types of super powers that we could choose from. These are some of the super powers: Super strength, venomous sting, giant antlers, web spinning, hovering and giant eyes. This topic was really fun! Lucas Andreopoulos, Samuel Page, Jeremy Chen-Tilley and Justin Yip

We went to Life Education in Term 4. We learned about people who are important to us. We talked about how to be a good friend. We also found out about cereal, which has a gold medal and those which have no medal. Gold medal cereal has no sugar. We saw Harold, he is funny. Ethan Van Damme

Life Cycles

Thomas Torre, Aiden Tang, Thomas Pritchett and Tobias Wu

In Year 2 we made an olden day timeline. We had to pick one item to write about. We had to write five facts of our choice about each change. We had to do four or eight changes and pictures. You had to use the pictures to explain your writing. They didn’t have the technology that we have today.

Ocean Life

Luca Sanfilippo, Felix Smith and Liam Marcus

In Year 2 we made dioramas about sea creatures. We used straws, patty-pans, polystyrene sea creature shapes, paper and plasticine. After we made them, we did a description about the sea creature we made.

IMAX and Melbourne Museum

In Year 2 we had baby chicks. We put them in an incubator because they had to be warm. It was like a substitute mother hen. We got to hold them. Our hands had to be in a certain position so we wouldn’t hurt them. When they went, we missed them.

Kamran Vohra

Year 2/3 Choir In Year 2 we have choir. We go to concerts and perform. We did the Easter Service in Term 1, we sang Easter Round. We performed Daisy in Term 2 at assembly. We sang Man Go Walk and Saying Goodbye in Term 3 at the September Concert. We love singing. Roy Legge, Nathan Chiu and Sammy Ramsay

The Olden Days

Year 2 was excited to go to IMAX. We went to the movie Flight of the Butterflies, it was about Monarch butterflies. We had to put some 3D glasses on or the screen would be blurry. Everyone tried to catch the butterflies. The Monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico. A scientist named Fred tagged the butterflies to see where they went. After that we went to the Museum to see lots of insects. We had the best excursion ever. Ashan Inpanathan, Sean Verghese and Thomas Newman-Thurlby

We have learned lots of interesting songs with Mrs Fry including Mango Walk, Saying Goodbye, Pizza Hut and Lean Forwards and Backwards. Luke Mason This year we have had the opportunity to begin participating in the Strings Program where we could choose to learn either the viola, piano, cello or violin. I have loved the opportunity to learn the viola in my private lessons. It provides us with the opportunity to join the Junior School String Ensemble in the years to come. Hamish Mitchell This year I joined the Recorder Ensemble with Mrs Fry. I have learned how to play really fun songs, including Oh My Little Augustine, Skyboat and Wind through the Olive Trees. I have enjoyed learning how to read music and performing at assemblies. Cyrus Foroudi

Literacy This year we have begun learning cursive writing in English. I have learned how to join letters using horizontal and diagonal joins. I like cursive writing because it makes writing easier and faster. I have enjoyed focusing on improving my bookwork so that it is legible and neat. Caleb Jack 38

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

Excursions This year we have learned how to write many different text types in English, including expositions, narratives, limericks, procedural texts and information reports. I found learning to write procedures the most interesting because we had the opportunity to participate in cooking lessons. We made Honey Joys and our own designer sandwiches. We then independently wrote a procedure on how to make them. It was delicious! Daniel Strong and Sean Chang

Learning to Read and Write I have enjoyed participating in Readers Theatre this year. We read a play or script in character during Reading Groups. We then have the opportunity to perform it in front of the class. I think participating in Readers Theatre has improved my reading. William Karunaratne and Christian Pham

Integrated Studies In Term 1, we studied ‘Feather, Fur or Leaves’, focusing on animal and plant classification. We learned how to classify living things and we wrote information reports on an animal of our choice. Mark Wu This year we learned about our ‘Changing Community’. We investigated the history of the Canterbury and Camberwell area, comparing how it has changed over time and remained the same. We went on a community walk and visited the Canterbury Gardens to have lunch and we drank traditional lemonade. Maxwell Chao-Hong and Victor Zhuang In Term 3, we learned about ‘Community Diversity’. We visited the National Gallery of Victoria to view artefacts and artworks created by Asian artists. Guest speakers came into our classroom to share their experiences in migrating to Australia, so that we could gain an understanding of why people migrate to Australia and the challenges they face when settling in Australia. We read interesting stories about migrants and refugees including ‘Peasant Prince’. Augustine Tan and Richard Joshi

We visited Healesville Sanctuary as part of our ‘Feather, Fur or Leaves’ Integrated Studies unit in Term 1. We had fun putting our knowledge to the test in classifying animals and watching the amazing Spirits of the Sky bird show. Harish R-Roshan and Louis Zhang In Term 2, we visited the Melbourne Museum to learn more about Indigenous people by participating in a workshop based on the First People Exhibition. We also looked at toys and games from the past and identified how they have changed and remained the same over time. Toan Le We had loads of fun participating in House Cross Country and Swimming. Everyone was exhausted after running 2 kilometres in the Cross Country race. Our place getters were Hamish Mitchell, Jason Xu and Max McCool. Max McCool

Health This year we began participating in ‘Huff and Puff’ three mornings a week. We enjoy being active first thing in the morning by playing ball games, partaking in team problem-solving, completing obstacles courses and time trials on the Anniversary Trail to improve our long distance running. We also liked raising money for the Heart Foundation by participating in ‘Jump Rope for Heart’. We learned new skipping skills at different rotations whilst listening to awesome music. It was so much fun! Joseph Ni and William Kemp At the end of Term 2 we had Footy Day. We all dressed up in our favourite football team colours and participated in football drills with the Senior School boys. We practised our kicking, passing and running. Jason Xu and Lachlan Lee

Theatre Club In Term 3 we had the opportunity to join the Theatre Club on Tuesday afternoons. We learned about the elements of drama and focused on improving our skills in improvisation.

4 R A E Y Year 4 Camp Camp was a great opportunity for new boys to make friends and for all of us to try new activities. When we got to camp, we all felt very excited as we found out who we would have in our cabins. On the first day, we participated in many fun beach games. We also got to experience mini golf, archery, canoeing, bushwalks and climbing a lighthouse. Camp was awesome and it sets us up for a great year. Lachlan Cross, Oliver Devine and Benjamin Nash

Ali Baba the Musical In Term 2, Years 3, 4 and 5 performed Ali Baba the musical for our parents. It took weeks of practice, learning the routines and dance moves as well as memorising the songs. We got our costumes fitted and we all looked very colourful and bright. Finally, the day to perform arrived, our nerves started to build up and excitement set in. Everything went to plan and so we did it for two more nights. It was a fun and enjoyable experience. Ross Sykiotis, Angus Rynne, Ethan Tran and Oliver Li

The Royal Botanic Garden In Term 3, we went to the Botanical Gardens. We went there to learn more about plants and how they grow. First, we had some lunch on a big grass field. After that we were split into two groups and went on a tour around the gardens. We went to the Hot House and saw many splendid plants. One of the most interesting plants in there was the Pitcher Plant; it stored juice to attract insects. In the Hot House, we also saw a plant called the Titan Arum or Corpse Flower, that has a flower that only blooms once every seven years. It is called the Corpse Flower, because it smells really bad. Next, we went to a jungle with one of the oldest trees. After that, we searched for insects with magnifying glasses. Finally, we saw a tree that had been struck by lightning and put back together. Joah Quach, Kye Yoshimura, Ross Armstrong and Matthew Shi

NAO Bot Visit In Term 3, there was a ‘Word Mania’ competition. It was a fierce competition, but Year 4B won it and received an incursion as a prize. They were super nice and let 4A join in! It was a visit from a NAO (pronounced ‘now’) robot. First, the host, who brought the NAO robot to the school explained how it works and showed us its features. He then showed us how to code Nao and we got to create some code to make it work as a cashier in a Café. Some of us even got to test the code by interacting with NAO as customers! Next, he showed us some videos of Nao dancing as well as showing him dancing in real life in front of us. Finally, Year 4 got to take a photo with Nao. After the presentation we all wanted one, but were shocked to learn that they cost $14,000! Max Helmer, Nicholas Branson, Jonathan Chong, Nicholas Wang, Austin Dai and Charlie Adams

THE BUS The air is buzzing with excitement, everyone is chatting and parents are saying their goodbyes. The bus engine is groaning under the weight of 50 boys with 50 backpacks, 50 overnight bags and ten teachers. We are going to an adventure camp in Anglesea. I can’t wait! Christopher Khong THE BEACH HONK HONK. As I got off the hot sweaty bus and onto the part-sand/part-bark path, I felt hot and bothered like I was a chicken getting roasted over a spit. After everybody got changed, we started heading down to the beach. I walked past signs that said we should be aware of sharks and not to let young ones in the waves because they are rough. Are you for real? I’m young! As I nervously arrived on the beach I saw several rotations for each House to do together. I was excited! George Karametos

CANOEING

THE TIGER AT THE ZOO

Have you ever been canoeing? I did it for the first time and it was my favourite activity of the day! As the bus stopped I was rushing to get out. I couldn’t wait to canoe for the first time in my life. When we got onto the sand, the instructors taught us how to paddle. Then we got into our canoes. We started off at a slow speed, but got faster. We took the lead in front of all the canoes, but when we had the backward race we lost. Then we played a game called Shark. Luckily, there weren’t any real ones there! I left the canoeing place with a big smile.

The amazingly brave Cleo went to the Zoo in her ‘hotted-up’ red car and saw a ferocious tiger who challenged her to a moonwalk and she agreed.

Science Talent Search Competition

5 R A E Y

Snapshot Writing Sample

In Year 5 we all take part in the Science Talent Search Competition. Every year there is a different topic. This year it was ‘Future Earth’. The reason we were looking at future earth was so we could try to find better ways to sustain our earth and the environment in the future. We all could choose from a wide variety of interesting options like posters, board games, inventions, experimental research, and you could even write your own book! We got to show our work to the Senior School science teachers who gave us feedback. Some boys got to bring their hard work to nearby high schools for a special judging day. Here, the boys presented their work to science teachers from schools all over Victoria. Lachlan Khuu and George Kitsoulis

Interschool Sports A Dog’s Bubbles The sparkling magical new substance hovers majestically above my snout. The vibrant fluorescent colours dance wildly around in perfect synchronisation. Flying around gracefully as if they came from heaven. One sparkles brightly as my heart pounds with bewilderment. They prance about unpredictably as I wonder what secrets they possess. One slowly descends towards the centre of my eyes. I stare at the floating marvels and wait for their graceful touch. POP! William Lardner and Jonathan Vais

In Term 2 we competed in Interschool Sports. We had the choice to do Soccer, European Handball or Football. We had three round robins against Trinity and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. We found it challenging and it took a lot of teamwork. We were learning about fitness, teamwork and winning and losing. We also made lots of new friends and rivals. Each team won their fair share of games. Each time we had a round robin we got back on the bus happy. Each time, at the end of a game, we shook hands and congratulated the other team if they won or lost. When we didn’t have a round robin we had training and a practice game, and it too was fun. It was an awesome experience. Zac Matters, Max Alexander and Savith Jayasuriya

Teeth clenched and eyes shut, you curl up scared. Water splashes in all directions. The impact of the somewhat hard surface chips away your courage. Your hands grip tighter around your knees. The salty water seeps through the gaps of your teeth. You hear faint murmurs above, but you can’t quite make out any of the words. You smell the stench of the sweet shop across the road. How you wish you were there. Nathan Chan and Oliver Wu

Buddies In Year 5, we have a Buddy Program that is a lot of fun. Every Thursday and Friday our buddies visit our classrooms and we do awesome activities together. We participate in fun games like Zoom, we help our buddies with their learning and we sometimes read picture books to them. One of our favourite moments with our buddies was going on an excursion to the Melbourne Zoo. The Preps were most interested in the butterfly enclosure. Some responsibilities of having a buddy include, taking care of them, leading them, encouraging them and mainly having fun. We all enjoyed the Buddy Program and will miss them when we move to Middle School. Matthew Tong and Mark Sonbol

China Town Excursion In Term 3, Year 5 went on an extraordinary excursion to China Town in Melbourne. We went to the Chinese Museum and ate at a scrumptious restaurant. The museum had a massive staircase and a room about Chinese culture and the Terracotta Warriors that protected the dead emperors. We visited a section about Chinese immigrants where there was an awesome interactive boat, similar to what the immigrants would have travelled on at the time. There was a 64-metre-long dragon that is used in Chinese New Year celebrations. We ended the excursion at a Chinese restaurant. It was delicious! There was fried chicken, fried rice, beef with greens and spring rolls. It was an amazing day. Max McKenzie and Charlie Williams

YEAR 5 Genius Hour

Coding with Scratch

Junior School Leaders

Should kids stop eating sugar? How do you teach imagination? How do emotions affect other emotions? Welcome to Genius Hour! In Year 5B, boys have been creating ‘Ungoogleable Questions’ to try and answer. It was a great experience because everyone could study something they are passionate about, and learn in a new way. We asked the boys why they liked Genius Hour:

Have you ever thought about computers and how they work? Well, the way to make them work is through coding! Using Scratch, the things you can create are only limited by your imagination. Most of us had never tried coding before this year and our knowledge and problem-solving skills are rapidly improving.

The sense of pride that washed over me as I received my two badges from Dr Paul Hicks and Mr Howard Kelly was unforgettable. I confidently stood in line with the rest of the Leadership Executive, my chest puffed out, the rest of Year 5 standing behind me. The Leadership Executive’s first order of business was creating the JEB Award (Just Excellent Behaviour).

“I felt like my door of creativity opened up.”

Moonhack was a challenge to get as many kids coding around the world, at the same time, as possible. We completed a project to show the difference in gravity on Earth, the Moon and Mars. Through participating in Moonhack, we amazingly broke a World Record. Oliver Lowe, Callum Yates and William Zhang

In Year 5, it is not just the Leadership Executive who leads, it is all students. We are role models for all the younger boys, though, particularly, for our Buddies. Being leaders has been a great challenge and achievement as we reach the end of our time in Junior School.

Ali Baba the Musical

Lucas Chin and James Tsang

The curtain slides open and all the performers run onto the massive stage, getting ready to sing our opening song. Nerves are running through our veins as we prepare to perform this wonderful musical. The 40 thieves and their leader, Mustafa Shower the despicable villain, have incredible power and they rule the streets of Baghdad. Then, Ali Baba delivers a pizza, and finds Mustafa’s lair. An adventure for Ali Baba and his sidekicks begins.

Blake Stronell “Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig, like this, don’t try to make someone else do what you are good at, do it yourself and have fun, like Genius Hour.”

Integrated Studies EARTH’S TIME IS RUNNING OUT. WHERE WILL WE GO? The hard-working students are striving to find the best planet for humans to live on. Each second that passes, we get a little closer to an answer. I see interesting brochures, movies and posters, all trying to persuade others to move to a researched location. In Year 5B we were challenged to find a new, habitable planet to colonise. The boys were creative in their investigations, sometimes looking further than our own solar system, to moons or to spacecraft. A visit to the Planetarium at Scienceworks highlighted the difficulties that we would face if we had to leave Earth. Whilst our investigations continue, our options are not looking great at the moment. Ethan Huang, Elias Zakkas and Christopher Cohen

Y R A R LIB

“The libr ar I look for y is one of the thi ward to e n ach Mon gs day.” The Junior School Library looked quite different from previous years, as the boys came through the doors at the beginning of 2017. They were quick to notice the old tables had been replaced with new comfortable couches and chairs. This beautiful furniture was paid for by Friends of Library. We have found that the boys love to settle down and read in this much more cosy and enjoyable space.

Book Week Book Week was once again a highlight of the Junior School year. We truly did ‘Escape to Everywhere’ for our Dress-Up Assembly. The visiting authors, Kim Kane and George Ivanoff, excelled in enthusing our boys to read as well as write.

Make it @ the Library We continued with our ‘Make it @ the Library’ initiative this year. Many activities were undertaken with the most successful and popular being balloon-powered Lego cars, large box construction and a communal drawing project. The boys gained experience in creating and problem-solving together.

Underwater Reading Room A further improvement to the library space this year are the new cushions in the Underwater Reading Room. Friends of Library funded this great feature that makes learning in this special place even better. 48

Reflections The Library, the way I see it, is extremely creative. The place is filled with a fascinating variety of books displayed upon the shelves. I love all the books and the organised style of shelving them. A memorable moment for me was the shortlisted book competition where specially selected books were compared to see which was the best. It was awesome reading the best books. I also enjoyed the Reading Adventure system. We were asked to choose an exciting book to read every Monday during the session. We were guided to notice connections between us and the book. The Library is one of the things I look forward to each Monday. Tim Gunasegaram Year 5B The Herborn Library is practically my home. Well, any library full of books is my home. This library is my sanctuary. Adrian Chiu Year 5B

In recent years, we have seen an increasing focus on the rapidly evolving 21st century workplace and the sort of jobs that might, or might not exist in that space. With automation taking over many occupations, it is clear that young people entering this world of work require different skills to those that have traditionally been sought. Skills in entrepreneurship, collaboration and problem-solving have never been in such high demand, and advanced ICT skills are required for most jobs. It is, therefore, incumbent on schools to prepare students for this world of rapid change and to equip them with the skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century. For the second year running we have offered a Friday afternoon activity in entrepreneurship, which required the participants to develop, market, pitch and ultimately run a moneymaking initiative. Furthermore, the 100 Year 8 boys who signed up for Projec10 with the girls’ schools were challenged to work with their team to launch an idea to raise money for this great cause. Many groups organised and ran food stalls, while others set up car washes, walked dogs and hosted parent dinner parties to name a few. Being involved in such activities provides excellent grounding and preparation for the 21st century workplace. With an eye on the future we have also provided more STEM based activities for students, and this year, Robotics and Coding ran for the first

time as a Year 8 elective. These offerings were well received by the boys and it was great to see several robots performing sophisticated tricks at the recent Open Day.

“The boys also develop essential skills by being invol ved in a wide range of activities and endeavou rs at school.”

The boys also develop essential skills by being involved in a wide range of activities and endeavours at school. Besides managing all of their subjects, all students will play at least two sports for the school, many are involved in the music program and get the opportunity to work in ensembles and many become involved in activities, such as debating. It also was great to see a large cast in this year’s Middle School Play, The Life and Times of Timothy Simon. All of these activities expose the boys to different challenges, and none work without co-operation and teamwork coming to the fore. There is no doubt that those boys who are heavily involved in the co-curricular program are richer for the experience and better placed to tackle future challenges and opportunities. This has been a wonderful year in Middle School and I thank the boys for their meritorious efforts. Most maintain busy schedules and they approach each day with a positive energy that is infectious. It is not always easy to navigate the adolescent years and I very much appreciate the fact

that a vast majority of our boys are nothing but supportive of each other. There was an added vibrancy around Middle School this year that I attribute to our magnificent new facilities. It was a joy to see the boys dispersed throughout the school each lunchtime making full use of the KAO, JTO, the new Sports Centre, library and the Atrium. My thanks to our Middle School teachers, and especially our tireless Form teachers, who work hard every day to ensure that things run as smoothly as possible for those under their care. Thank you to Mr Scott Wyatt, the Deputy Head of Middle School, who oversees a broad portfolio, including the Middle School curriculum and does so with aplomb. I also thank Mrs Justine Elliott for doing such a great job running the Middle School Office, which is always a hub of activity. Thank you to our wonderfully supportive parents, who work in close partnership with the school as we seek to nurture the overall development of the boys. The Middle School at Camberwell Grammar is a brilliant community to be a part of, and it has been a privilege to be a part of this community for the past five years. I am excited about the new challenges that I will face in my new role in Senior School next year and I am looking forward to reconnecting with past Middle School students, as well as continuing the school journey with our current Year 8 boys. I also look forward to maintaining a close connection with Middle School in the years ahead. Mr Rob French Head of Middle School The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

Sustainability Week In Week 8 Term 2, Year 6 participated in Sustainability Week. I enjoyed building eco houses out of materials that we were given. When building the eco house, I had two other partners helping me. Their names were Timothy and Samuel. Together we built a house with solar panels, a composting bin and two vegetable patches, one in the house and another in front of the house. Another thing I had enjoyed during Sustainability Week was when the representative of the Gould League told us to search the Contemplation Garden for insects. I worked with Samuel to find some insects but we only found worms. Other people found interesting insects and one found a spider. Overall Sustainability Week was really fun and enjoyable. Matthew Lu The most gratifying and memorable segment of Sustainability Week was creating the sustainability houses, as students had fun and learned about which materials are more suitable for the environment. Students worked on their houses at various times of the week in the science laboratories. All students chose their own groups of fellow students and commenced creating the houses by using a thick and reasonably strong blackboard as the base of the house. Most groups then covered the board with assorted colours of A4 paper, the blackboardlike material was also used for walls and 52

rooves. Apart from the typical coloured paper, other papers were provided to resemble rock walls. Students were also allowed to use Stanley knifes to cut through the black thick base material to make it in to the ideal size as students wanted. Most students cherished this overly valuable experience of creating their own eco houses, possible future houses. Shourodip Pal

Solar Lights Project The ‘Solar Lights Project’ is a campaign for kids in Africa that don’t have any electricity, so they can study at night. For this campaign, you don’t only send the lights off to kids in Africa, you also send a letter for them to read so they can practice English. In Term 3 the Grade Six classes came up with an idea to make enough money to pay for the 50 solar lights to be sent to Africa. The idea most of us agreed on included instant noodles and hot chocolate. When the solar lights arrived, all we had to do was connect a few wires, screw some screws and add a band to make the solar light waterproof, and we were done with the solar light. After that, we had to write a message to the child that would receive it, even though we didn’t know who that was. Liam McCarthy

Scienceworks Excursion

THE RUBIK’S CUBE The Rubik’s cube. Easy to cheat. But when you’ve solved it. An amazing feat. It blows the mind. Without a doubt. Just trying to work. Such patterns out. Colour coding.

Poetry

Is the game. That each side.

One of the best Year 6 excursions was to Scienceworks, which included a show at the Planetarium. The Planetarium is an enormous room that we sat in and the seats went fully back and you looked at the roof to see a time-lapse about space and the planets. It was really cool how the screen was all around us because it was coming down the walls. Another place we really liked was where you could make your own environmentally friendly car, a super car or a normal car. When you had finished your car, you would go up into the factory and everybody could see your creation. It was really cool that you could choose which wheels you wanted and if you wanted to have petrol, or for your car to hover and have many more attachments. Jack Nicholson and Liam Papas

Kokoda Track Diaries

GRADE SIX

Would be the same.

Grade Six is a really good year.

One sure thing.

DAY 1

You feel disappointed when the end draws near.

You can’t be a noob.

And before Year 7 has even begun.

What a challenge.

You remember all the times when you had lots of fun.

That little Cube.

The Kokoda Track was difficult. Extremely difficult. It is hot and humid, treacherous and tiring. I still can’t believe how someone managed to walk it in less than 17 hours. I am in a group of ten students and a few teachers. I walked the track for the scenery, experience and to honour the Australians who died when fighting to stop the Japanese invading Australia.

The Federation project was really quite nice. The Australia map was done in a trice. The one thousand step walk was quite a location. Next, the family oral presentation. The Kokoda track diaries were remarkably good. The persuasive essays made themselves understood. Then there’s Camp Manyung, it’s awesome you see. We built some toy cars in term number three. I liked the project about being a citizen. And when you talk about excursions I can’t even begin. Yes, Grade Six is a really good year. And you feel disappointed when the end draws near.

Asia Country Poster The Asia country project was completed in the latter end of Term 3 by all Year 6 students. The countries were chosen from a hat as each student chooses a paper which had an Asian country written on it. There ended up two people doing the same country, allowing everyone to get help from a class-mate who was doing the same country as them. First, students were required to complete a map of their country (provided by their teacher) by labelling all important rivers, cities, etc. After completing the map, students were to research about their country. There were six different written sections trade exports and imports, sports and leisure and many other subheadings. In addition to this, students were required to complete a fact sheet with information like the population of their country and other information.

On the first day, we were in a small aeroplane that would hopefully land on a short cricket pitch in Kokoda. On that day, I hoped the aeroplane wouldn’t miss or overshoot the runway. There was a minuscule cricket pitch emerging from the horizon as the plane descended. A few minutes later, the plane would either land on the cricket pitch or crash into the mountains. The cricket pitch was no further than 200 metres away from the plane. The cricket pitch got increasingly bigger as the plane approached it. There was a slight jolt, a very big jolt actually, and the plane touched down with a large bump and a shake. My inertia pulled me forward as the plane braked to a stop (luckily, I had a seatbelt). We had arrived at Kokoda. As I stepped out of the plane, I looked back to history class and

middle school remember the Australians and Japanese that didn’t know how bad the conditions of walking over the jungle- covered mountains would be. The villagers from the village adjacent to the cricket pitch gave us fresh fruit and drinks. We were going to sleep at the village as we had arrived in the afternoon. I then realised that since I’m a light sleeper, I was probably going to be woken up in the middle of night easily. DAY 3 Day 3 came fast. One moment I was sleeping soundly and the next moment I’m out of bed ready to walk some more. Well, nearly ready to walk some more. My shoulders still ached and my legs were still sore. And I didn’t jump out of my sleeping bag, I gradually climbed out of my sleeping bag. After eating breakfast and getting packed up, we set out on another leg of our long journey. This time I set out with my camera since there was so much beauty in the rainforest. The path to the Isurava Battlefields were mostly very flat. I decided to take some photos of the animals and nature. There was a Spotted Cuscus hiding in the long and thick grass, a ton of flowers everywhere and a very large beehive (I think it was a beehive, I have never seen one in real life until now). We continued walking until a kid calls out to the teacher that he’s thirsty. We have a quick drink break – I had gotten used to the taste but I still preferred boiled water instead. I heard a few bird sounds and looked up. Our guide said that it was Papua New Guinea’s national bird, the Raggiana Bird of Paradise. Worried that it would fly away, I scrambled for my camera that was in my pocket. The camera fell on the soft dirt and I picked it up; luckily it wasn’t damaged and it didn’t land in the mud. I hit the on button and took a few out of focus photos in an instant, just then the magical bird took off. I was very upset that I didn’t get a clear photograph of the bird. An hour later, we arrived at a very historical memorial of the Kokoda Track, the Isurava Memorial. This was the scene of a very important battle between the Australians and the Japanese. It was considered the battle that saved Australia. It was also a very important delaying battle that held up the Japanese, 54

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

while waiting for another army to come. At the back of the Memorial were four stones pillars. Each pillar was engraved with one word, the word was either courage, endurance, mateship or sacrifice. In front of the four pillars were two flags, one was the Australian flag and the other was the flag of Papua New Guinea. In the middle of the memorial was a small stone pillar, it was engraved with a paragraph about remembering the people who fought in this war. Oliver Liu Year 7 FINAL DAY I am woken up by the exquisite scent of canned spam and sweet corn. Feeling fresh I stand up to see what is going on when I abruptly realise it is the last day of our exhausting, eight-day experience. Peeking over my shoulder, I see that my parents have somehow made a blazing bonfire and are cooking canned spam and sweet corn. “Breakfast is ready”, Mum exclaimed. It made me feel like I was home. We all gather around the warm bonfire and started to dig-in like a family of five pigs. The food was making me drool since I haven’t eaten good food in a long while. After breakfast, we pack up our tent, pack our backpacks and leave our site to finish off our journey. Our last destination is Port Moresby. My excitement is overloading, making me walk faster than anyone else in my family. Our flight is in five hours and we definitely do not want to miss it. I keep walking without noticing any of the beautiful trees and or the cool weather. “A BABY BEAR, SO CUTE, SO CUTE,” howls my older sister. “Quickly, take photos!” I look where she is pointing and see a small bear resting on one of the trees branches. Wait, no, it has a baby in its pouch. It must be some kind of Kangaroo! I howl, louder than my sister. The number of photos we took nearly used up all of our camera storage. Lachlan Nguyen Year 6

Do you know how tiring it is out here?! I got tired before I even reached McDonald’s Corner. I was hoping there would be a Macca’s store here hence the name… The guide didn’t seem tired at all. I guess generations of ancestors born to trek, gave them all the strength they needed. Along the way they picked out some passionfruit. When we reached McDonald’s Corner at lunchtime, we got out our sandwiches and sat down for a bit. Oh and, there was no Macca’s. Boo-hoo. We hadn’t seen any snakes yet which was lucky because I didn’t manage to get any snake repellent. Then, we kept walking all the way to Ower’s Corner before setting up the camp for the night. About time. Alexander Lau Year 6 We resume our walk, and I look over at my left arm (the arm that the leech attacked) and sigh. I then realise the sore blisters on my feet. My conscience tells me not to let little things ruin my day. The last day of our journey must be the best day of our journey. Several hours later I see a something in the distance. “It’s Port Moresby!” Dad screeches. There in front of me I see Port Moresby. Is this it? Is this the end of our exhausting eight-day journey? We all begin sprinting. I feel drops of sweat rolling down my face, like a shower. My legs are now completely numb. We step across onto the healthy grass and finally complete our eight-day journey. “Woohoo” we cheer. After dumping my two-kilo backpack on the ground, I lie down with huge relief. This once in a lifetime experience made me understand how much hardship the Australian soldiers faced during the war. I stand up to see our plane land on the grass. We wave goodbye to the friendly nationals and kiss goodbye to Papa New Guinea. One by one we step into the small plane feeling the cool breeze of the air-conditioning, then head back home in Melbourne. Lachlan Nguyen Year 6

HIGHLIGH

Year 8 Social The annual Year 8 Social proved once again to be a major highlight on the Middle School calendar. The boys proved to be outstanding hosts to the girls from Fintona, Presbyterian Ladies’ College and Camberwell Girls’, and the dance floor was packed for most of the night. Pizza and sushi proved popular in what was an excellent night.

Fundraising Fundraising and helping various charities was once again a major focus for Middle School students in 2017. Our annual Street Soccer Competition in Term 3 raised money for the Maddie Riewoldt Foundation, an organisation that raises funds needed for bone marrow failure research. Projec10 was back in full flight as Year 8 students joined their counterparts from Presbyterian Ladies’ College, Camberwell Girls’ and Fintona to raise money for the Youth Apprenticeship Program in Ghana. The groups worked exceedingly well together and it was great that several groups launched initiatives to raise money in the local community. We also had numerous groups active at the Middle School Play and at the debating evenings, providing customers with a wide range of food and drinks. In all, over $12,000 was raised for this wonderful cause.

In Term 4 we once again hit the local tracks for the annual Run/Walk for Koala Kids, a partnership entering its fifth year. The boys approached the collection of sponsors in the lead up, and the actual event with admirable enthusiasm. Two new initiatives were also launched in Middle School this year. Ten dedicated Year 8 boys volunteered to be part of the Smith Family Student2Student program, which connects secondary students with primary aged children from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them with their reading. The boys gave generously of their time and all involved saw the 18-week program through to its conclusion. Year 6 students joined a wonderful new initiative called Solmates. The boys constructed small solar powered lights which were shipped to Rwanda with a letter from our boys to their ‘solmate’ in Rwanda. The lights enable the Rwandan students to study at night and thus helping substantially with their education.

Guest Speakers We were able to host several outstanding guest speakers throughout the year. Xavier Diaz, from Warner Youth Education spoke about drugs and alcohol to Year 8 students, and graffiti and other high-risk behaviour to Year 7 boys. Xavier’s focus was on peer pressure and how to avoid making poor decisions. We also welcomed Gerard Trolove from RealTalk Australia, who delivered a powerful presentation to Year 7 and 8 students on cyber awareness, including a focus on cyber bullying, technology addiction, common scams, digital footprints and sensible use of technology. In Term 4 we were most fortunate to hear from Kate Leeming, who has raised money for several important global causes by undertaking arduous cycling trips. Kate has cycled in Siberia and Africa, and is currently raising funds for a ride across Antarctica. She has written two books about her experiences and is the subject of a film. Her inspirational message about perseverance and determination was incredibly well received by all Middle School students. The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

highlights Year 7 Civics and Citizenship Week During the Year 7 Civics and Citizenship Week, one of our excursions involved exploring Melbourne’s parks and gardens. Our first stop was the Shrine of Remembrance near the Royal Botanic Gardens. After that, we walked down to a small area of grass and some chairs. The teachers sat down and chatted while we were running in the tall bamboo playing hide and seek. We hid in trees, across the lake, in other areas and on bridges. One of the days during Civics and Citizenship Week involved us devising our own excursion to one of Melbourne’s inners suburbs. The process of working out where to go, how to get there and booking events was interesting and challenging, especially coming to an agreement within the whole class. Our class finally chose to go to the Melbourne Sea Life Aquarium. We went around the aquarium looking at marine life. We got to see many fish and sharks of different sizes and colours, and even managed to see a crocodile. The swimming penguins were probably our favourite. This excursion was for the classes to have some fun and was possibly a new experience for some students. We also spent a day exploring the city. We split up into groups of four and ventured throughout the CBD; shopping, eating, filling in answers to questions, like a treasure hunt. This included such things as counting the lamps outside Parliament House, taking a photo of something confronting, and taking photos of features in Chinatown. In this excursion, many of us pushed ourselves outside of our comfort zones and experienced new things. The overall experience was lots of fun and we really loved exploring the city. We felt independent during Civics and Citizenship Week, as we were given responsibility for making decisions about where to go and what to do. Faisal Al-Sabbagh, Brendan Tse and Jack Moodie

Year 8 Indigenous Studies Week During the eighth week of Term 2, the Year 8 cohort took part in the Indigenous Studies Week, where through a series of excursions and incursions, we learned about Indigenous history and culture. I was especially intrigued and astounded upon learning about the Lost Generation. This brought to my attention a side to the Australian history I never knew about. Now having known this, the Reconciliation Ceremony helped apologise to Indigenous people through a series of traditional Aboriginal music and the coming together of our class. The other excursions taught me so much about their culture through weapons, paintings, ceremonies and more. Overall this week enlightened me to a culture that I couldn’t wait to delve deeper into.

Middle School Friday Activities

Chess

Throughout Term 2 and 3, all Middle School students were engaged in a diverse range of co-curricular activities on Friday afternoons. Known as Friday Activities, the program aims to expose students to activities that complement the mainstream curriculum. In 2017, the program included a diverse range of activities, many utilising the new Sports Centre. Popular activity options included; table tennis, fencing, model making, leadership and entrepreneurship skills and self-defence.

This year, Chess at Camberwell Grammar School enjoyed much success. We had over 50 students participating in Friday Activities throughout Term 2 and Term 3, and three teams competing at a regional competition at Scotch College in Term 2. At this tournament, Kayson Wang finished third individually and the team, comprising Kayson Wang, Eugene Goh, Hayden Nguyen, Conrad Thornton and Cedric Fun, qualified through to State Finals. The team, comprising students from Year 7 and Year 8, competed admirable at the state final, held at Brighton Grammar in October. The team finished in 15th place out of 33 competing schools. Notably, Kayson Wang finished with six and a half points out of a possible eight points and ranked ninth out of 219 competing players. Congratulations to all players and teams on their efforts this year. Thanks also to Mr Smith for organising our teams throughout the year.

Complementing the Friday Activities program is the Outdoor Activities program. This program is targeted at Year 8 students and aims to provide opportunities for them to try activities they may encounter on Outdoor Education camps. Under the guidance of specialist instructors, groups kayaked through rapids on the Upper Yarra, sailed on Albert Park Lake, explored mountain bike tracks in local parklands, rowed along the Lower Yarra, developed their horse riding skills in Templestowe and rock climbed at indoor climbing gyms in Nunawading and the city. Both programs are an important part of Middle School as they provide opportunities for students to mix with their peers from different class groups and year levels.

William Angliss Dinner

middle school

We welcomed over 80 Middle School parents to this year’s William Angliss Dinner, which was held in the Camberwell Room for the first time. Guest speaker Dr Jared Cooney Horvat delivered a thoroughly engaging address on the brain and adolescent brain development. The audience appreciated Jared’s energetic delivery and his tips to parents on managing adolescents were practical and helpful for those in attendance.

Debating INTER-FORM DEBATING The Year 8 Inter-Form Debating season once again proved to be a very successful, enjoyable and enriching experience for all involved. Debating is an immensely rich teaching and learning activity, which not only builds confidence and improves public speaking skills, but also provides an opportunity to develop teamwork and research capabilities. All Year 8 students learned debating skills in English lessons and engaged in Inter-Form Debating enthusiastically. Teams from each Year 8 homeroom were then selected to represent their class in the Inter-Form competition. Year 8R and Year 8S made it through the semifinals stage to reach the Open Day grand final. In what proved to be a close contest on the motion that: ‘We should have video surveillance cameras in all public places’; the 8S team of Luke Doblin, Wilson Zhu and Nicholas Sarlos-Welsh defeated the 8R team of Nicholas Robinson, Zach Lewis and Alex Zervas, to win the PAJ Robinson Trophy in a high standard event.

INTER-SCHOOL DEBATING The DAV Junior Secondary Inter-School Debating competition, hosted by CGS for the fourth year running, was a tremendous success. Record student participation rates made for a very popular and exciting competition. Year 7 and 8 boys worked co-operatively in teams to research topics, prepare arguments and counter-arguments, and to hone their rhetorical skills. The initial session was a training night, led by DAV trainers to impart knowledge about debating and to put boys through their paces with a practical component. The first round of debating started with Camberwell teams performing very successfully to achieve six wins out of nine against schools such as Trinity, Carey and Presbyterian Ladies’ College. Rounds two and three were also very successful with CGS teams acquitting themselves admirably to record a very pleasing number of wins and best speaker nominations. Debating has inspired discussion on serious social and community issues among students, and no doubt with parents around the dinner table. Our students have also spent many lunchtimes preparing their debates and I congratulate the boys who have gone above and beyond. Thank you very much to all staff and students who supported and contributed to this exciting and enriching endeavour. Special mention to the team of Aneek Sengupta, Jerry Lu, David Thomas, Aidan Chen, Charles Lewis, Hari Ganesvaran, Hamish Collett, Andrew Nguyen and Jerry Ji who went through undefeated. Best Scoring Speakers were awarded to Hamish Collett, Isaac Hui and Nicholas Sarlos-Welsh and Best Speaker Awards were achieved by Alexander Greenaway, Je-Rard Cheong, Hamish Collett, Charles Lewis, Wilson Zhu, James Growse, Isaac Hui, Andrew Graham and James Stambe.

R O I N SE OL O H C S RT O P E R 2017 has been, like those before, another year jam-packed with events and opportunities for our students. The year started with a group of boys returning from the inaugural French exchange to Lycee-Assomption Bellevue in Lyon, France. The boys spent the summer vacation immersed in French culture and schooling, returning with a worldlier view and energy for their studies. And, after what seemed like two long years, we had full access to our school grounds with the Chapel and Sports Centre open and the KAO back in action. Apart from being blessed with amazing facilities, it provided our boys with many new areas to run around and be active in. The new year also signalled a few changes in our House competition program. The first being that House Music rehearsals swung into action on day one. This provided our new student leaders the opportunity to develop House spirit and set the tone for the year ahead. A hotly contested event, students went above and beyond to create another high standard event, showcasing their many talents. The House Quadrangular competitions were replaced by a Multi Sport Competition

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

and Swimming Carnival. Both provided new formats, creating much interest and high levels of participation, particularly in our new pool. There is a strong philanthropic and social conscience aspect to our students. In Term 1 we featured our first Warrior Week, with our Towards 2050 student sustainability team highlighting the impact we are having on our environment and how we can make small changes that will affect positive change. In fact, student led initiatives continue to grow in the Senior School, creating awareness, raising funds and making a difference to local and international communities. This has been demonstrated through the many sausage sizzles, casual clothes days, cake stalls, great debates, sport events and silent auctions that have occurred this year highlighting the needs of homeless youth in our city, providing funds for sanitation and consequently education opportunities for young girls in India, educating our community on health matters such as breast cancer and bowel cancer, along with advocating for the many charities supported by each of the Houses. BODi day (By Our Deeds Inquiry day) was a new initiative this year, with all Year 11 students engaged in a conference style day focused on relationships – with self and others. Our keynote speaker presented on respectful relationships, with workshops on a range of topics from mindfulness and meditation, to having a voice and social connectedness. The workshop presenters from industry allowed the students to stop and reflect, to question and to focus on themselves – who they are, what they believe in, how they want to be perceived, how they can have a voice and how they can take time out to unwind and relax. Co-curricular programs continue to afford opportunities for the boys to develop new skills and shine on the sports field, on the stage in productions such as Of Mice and Men and Mnemonic, or in the

many music concerts, soirees and special events we have throughout the year. Debating continues to be a well-supported activity, as does the Philosophy Day, United Nations Youth Association competitions and associated public speaking competitions, and of course Cadets. More formally, the Year 9 students set their own challenge as they embarked on a week of adventure sailing, sea kayaking, hiking, bike riding, camel trekking, caving, or in service at a range of locations in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. At the same time, Year 10 students engaged in a week’s work experience, exploring potential career directions, while Year 11 and 12 students were sitting mid-year formal assessments providing them with feedback on how they were progressing in their VCE studies. Supporting the philosophy of a liberal education, students are exposed to a wide range of activities beyond the already broad school program, with School Tours being a popular choice for many students. This year we had boys attend the inaugural ASPIRE Music competition in Brisbane and head to Singapore to compete in soccer tournaments. Students interested in French language, culture or the Arts spent almost three weeks in France, while our budding astronauts and space scientists visited the USA on the biennial Space Camp. There are also many other students who signed up for Tours and are already preparing as a group for the USA Basketball, Latin Tour, Central Australia Tour or the tour to the Galapagos Islands that are scheduled for 2018. As the year came to an end, with examinations over and holidays looming, many of our 2018 student leaders attended the Year 8 Transition Camp, spending the week getting to know the newest members of the Senior School, fostering connections and building a sense of team within their House. This leadership is representative of that which is found amongst our staff who afford our students such amazing opportunities to grow, to learn and to lead. We are indeed fortunate to have staff who are invested in caring for and developing our boys to have the skills and experiences that will stand them in good stead in life well beyond their time at school.

Y R O T C I D E L VA CE I V R E S The following is an edited version of the speech given to the Leavers of 2017 by Headmaster Dr Paul Hicks at the Leavers’ Service in St Mark’s Church. What does it mean to be a good person? For years, you students have been listening to me encouraging you to be ‘good men’, to do the ‘right’ thing. As you well know, it has never been enough for me, for you to be just ‘smart’ men, or intelligent men or academically successful men – you also have to be ‘good’. And now, as you prepare to leave your school behind, and to put ‘the ways of childhood’ behind you, and as I talk to you for the last time as a group, I find myself wanting my last message to you to be about that. About what it means to be a good person. I actually think it is the key question of our lives, and I am not the first person to ever try to make sense of it. Indeed, many smarter people than

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

I have been wrestling with this for as long as we have records. Have you ever imagined that you had the power to be invisible? What opportunities would such a power present? You could do anything you wanted to, take anything you wanted, go anywhere you wanted, and not be seen, or risk getting caught. Would such a power change your behaviour? There was once a shepherd named Gyges, who was a dreamer who wanted to be rich and famous, but battled to survive each day guarding sheep for his king. One day in the fields, following an earthquake, he found a rift in the ground, which he soon discovered led to a cave, which contained a giant iron horse, and in the side of the horse was a door, and when he opened it, he found the body of a Giant King dressed in fine armour and wearing a ring. Gyges stole the ring, and later that night, sitting with the other shepherds he started to twist the ring around his finger. Everyone else in the room suddenly started to ask where Gyges was – the ring had the power to make him invisible. Well, Gyges used that invisible ring to great advantage – he murdered the king of Lydia and seduced the queen, becoming the most powerful man in the land. That story was told in Plato’s Republic, perhaps one of the greatest philosophical works ever written, in about 380 BC. In that book he explores concepts of ‘justice’ or ‘right behaviour’ – what does it mean to be good? To be just? Plato wrote in the form of dialogues, or conversations between his literary version of Socrates and a series of students. In Book Two, one of these students, Glaucon, debates Socrates on the concept of morality. He uses the story of Gyges to illustrate his point. Glaucon argues that self-interest is the most central and overriding human instinct. He argues that our most powerful motivation is to do what pleases us. What suits us. What advantages us. If I want something, why shouldn’t I just take it? If someone offends me, my driving motivation is to hurt or punish that person. What stops me from doing these things?

Glaucon suggests that the reason we don’t act simply to fulfil our immediate desires is that we fear the consequences if we get caught. If we had an invisibility ring, we would do what Gyges did – take whatever we want, do whatever we want, because we would know that we would get away with it. Glaucon argues that everyone would do the same – if we had a magic ring of invisibility, or more to the point, if the consequences of wrongdoing were eliminated, we would simply do whatever we pleased and we would be foolish if we didn’t. It is a sort of negative morality. We do the ‘right’ or ‘just’ thing only because the consequences of not doing it are worse than the potential reward. It is also a sort of morality which places each individual person at the centre of their universe. It makes ‘me’, ‘I’ the most important person in the room. But it is a very seductive way of looking at the world. And this view seems to be supported and encouraged by so much of our media and our marketing. In some ways, it would seem that Glaucon’s view of humanity is in the ascendency. The world seems driven by self-interest. Look at the advertising the assails us every day: ‘Just DO It!’ ‘Do yourself a Favour!’ ‘Treat yourself!’ ‘Buy Now Pay Later – You Deserve this!’ ‘Stick Up for Yourself!’ ‘Be Assertive!’ ‘Put Yourself First for A Change!’ ‘I am the most intelligent person in the history of the world, and I am the only person who can fix this mess…’ (That last one is not an ad, it’s a President, but it is advertising nonetheless!) I can’t help thinking that there must be more to it than this. This sort of self-focussed thinking

SENIOR school certainly doesn’t seem to lead to happiness. A sense of entitlement is usually accompanied by a sense of disappointment and of being let down by the world. Spoiling oneself, while being nice occasionally, can lead to a sense of emptiness if over-indulged. Socrates’ response to Glaucon was that simply following one’s urges and desires would not make you happy – indeed, it would simply make you a slave to your desires. And slaves cannot, by definition, be free. The good man does good, according to Socrates, because doing good is the right thing to do, even if it seems not to be in our best self-interests, and the person who does good is a person ‘in balance’. So, if being ‘good’ or ‘just’ is not just doing what is good for you, what does it mean to be a good man? It is a question which has had a fair bit of coverage in recent times. Young men in particular have received a hard time in the media – often with good cause. There has been some terrible and cringe-worthy behaviour when teenage boys have been sexist and extremely disrespectful, and have abused social media to shame and humiliate women and each other. They clearly have not been acting in ‘just’ ways. And it is appropriate to call bad behaviour out and to hold those responsible for it to account. At the same time, sometimes we can feel guilty by association. We can feel guilty simply for being male.

I don’t want to speak tonight about why men so often behave poorly, particularly towards women. That is a topic for another conversation. I want for us to think about what do we have to do to be good men? What is the secret? If Glaucon was wrong in suggesting that there is no good except self-interest, is it possible to define behaviour which could be considered universally good? It has to be more than being intelligent. The history of the world is filled with stories of intelligent people who have done great harm. Could it be that we should simply adopt the maxim of ‘Do No Harm’? At least if we undertook to hurt no-one by actions or words, that might be a start. But that too is a negative sort of approach and I fear it could easily lead to indifference or resignation of any responsibility for injustices we witness – I know that that situation is not right, but it has nothing to do with me – not my problem. Is it being a law-abiding citizen? The crowd we heard about in the readings tonight, those ’law-abiding citizens’ who brought the woman caught in adultery to Jesus

were doing the right thing as far as the law is concerned. According to the law, a woman caught in adultery was to be stoned to death. That was justice. But were they being ‘just’? What was their motivation – were they really just doing the right thing, or were they trying to trap Jesus into making an unpopular and uncomfortable ruling. They were using legality to make a point. Jesus, of course, refused to fall into their trap. In his radical, see the world differently kind of way, he cut right through the law, to the humanity of the situation. He put the question back on them. Who has not sinned? Who has not done the wrong thing? Who are we to judge? In doing so he suggested that sometimes there are more important considerations than the strict letter of the law. His response was not a legal one, it was a response framed by love. And I think that gives us the clue to resolving the dilemma posed by Glaucon. It lies in shifting our focus, the centre of our attention, away from us, and towards others. We heard St Paul argue earlier, that that the three great virtues are ‘faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love’. He gives a wonderful description of what love is and what it isn’t: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. But why is love the greatest virtue? Surely the other virtues are pretty cool too. I think it is because love is the emotion which takes us beyond ourselves – it is focused on the ‘other’. Love puts others before self. Love is the emotion which focusses on others, on their welfare, their feelings. I don’t think St Paul was only talking about romantic love, that little flutter in the tummy we feel when we see the object of our affections. I think he was speaking more about the Greek word ‘agape’, which has no direct translation into English. ‘Agape’ love is selfless, The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

SENIOR school

sacrificial, unconditional love. ‘Agape’ involves faithfulness, commitment, and an act of the will. It is moral and it is strong – it is the highest form of love that there is. And love is the key to being a good person. As Lennon said – John not Vladimir – ‘Love is the Answer’. If we love people, we will not exploit them. If we love people, we will not disrespect them in person, or online. If we truly love, we will put others first. We will fight injustice, we will not tolerate racism or bigotry. Such love requires true leadership – and when our leaders speak of it, but do not display it, they are as resounding gongs and clanging cymbals – all noise and no substance – and we feel in our bones that they are hypocrites. And if you act from love, it would not matter whether you had an invisibility ring or not. You would act in the interest of others. The secret to being a good person, a good man, is to love. And the thing is, if you look to love others, and to serve others, not only will you be a good person, but you will find happiness and peace. It is one of the great paradoxes of life that the more we focus on the welfare of others, the more we will find contentment ourselves. And that is why Glaucon is wrong. Our greatest happiness cannot be found by satisfying all our lusts and desires. It cannot be found in simply trying to fulfil my needs and desires. It can only be found, though St Paul’s concept of love, and in serving others. You are the lucky ones in our world. You have been given much. You have not had to worry about where your next meal is coming from, or whether you would be caught up in war, or whether you and your family would be displaced because of your religion or your race. You could very well live your lives seeking your own advancement and your own comfort. You could use your privilege to fulfil all of your desires. My hope though, is that you will use your lucky start in life to serve others, to be good men. To love, and in loving, to find happiness and joy. May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children’s children. May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward. Spectemur Agendo.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

This is an edited speech delivered at the Leavers’ Dinner by Ms Rachael Falloon, Deputy Head, Head of Senior School. Headmaster and Mrs Hicks, Chair of the Board, Mr Neilson, and Mrs Neilson, members of the Board, special guests, parents, colleagues and Year 12 students, it is an honour to be speaking this evening and to toast the 2017 Leavers. Mine has perhaps been a path less travelled. I grew up in a household with three strong men – my father and two younger brothers. As a university student, I sat in engineering lectures with very few girls, and I have spent almost 25 years teaching boys, the last 15 teaching in boys’ grammar schools as a leader, working mainly with men. Perhaps I can offer some insight into the world you are about to enter, but more about that later. I had the good fortune to have a term’s leave this year and found myself travelling through Spain and Portugal during the AFL Final series. Now, as a Western Bulldogs supporter one might think I wouldn’t have much interest in the finals this year; however, growing up with two brothers and a father who were passionate Richmond supporters, the Tigers have always been my second team, and so I followed the finals series with interest, although without much hope of Richmond taking out the flag. The AFL app, my link to the football world, provided analyses of the

strengths and weaknesses of each of the teams, and articles by great players who were retiring at the end of the season. They were reflecting on what they had learnt about life in their time as an AFL player, and what advice they might give their younger selves. And so there I was on the other side of the world thinking about what I might say here tonight in this magnificent venue, the home of football, and it occurred to me that your time at Camberwell Grammar School has quite a bit in common with modern day football. A boys’ school and the AFL are male-dominated environments - teams of young men working together, educated by skilled mentors and coaches, with their parents on the sidelines, all helping them to achieve their goals. Two things stood out in the articles I was reading. The first was culture. You may be familiar with the quote attributed to the father of modern management, Peter Drucker, that “culture eats strategy for breakfast”. The strategy works when you establish the right culture, but what is the right culture? A review of the 2016 AFL season in which the Western Bulldogs were premiers focused on the leadership of the coach Luke Beveridge and captain Bob Murphy and the intensity that was the hallmark of their team’s work ethic, but equally the respect and camaraderie that they had fostered within the club – the culture of belonging and sense of team. Richmond coach, Damien Hardwick, when asked about the amazing turnaround from 13th place last year to being the premiership club this year, talked about learning from the Bulldogs in building that sense of team: they worked hard in the off season to help players better connect with each other

SENIOR school

TOAST TO THE LEAV ERS and the coaching group. This wasn’t about the hard skills of football, they knew how to play football, this was about relationships, belonging and a real sense of community. This was about culture. Those concepts – relationships, belonging and community, resonate strongly with me when I think about Camberwell Grammar. They take me back to my very first weeks as a new member of staff nearly eight years ago. At my first function, I was approached by many parents who wanted to welcome me to the school, but more than that they wanted to tell me what a great school Camberwell Grammar was; how it had strongly fostered parent involvement and why it was an amazing community. My last eight years have consistently reinforced what a connected community we have. I see it through the actions of the staff: giving of their time to assist or support students in and out of the classroom, on camp, from the sidelines in sport, behind the scenes in music or drama, at lunchtimes with debating practice, on a Friday afternoon at Cadets, in House activities, or in providing any number of additional experiences through excursions, tours, or interest groups such as Rotary Interact and Towards 2050. I see it with students: putting up their hand to be Tour Guides, helping out with House Charity events, stepping up when someone is injured to fill the gap in a race, continuing to encourage their team mate even after he just dropped a sitter or missed that penalty shot, asking “are you ok?” when they think a friend is struggling, or letting someone know if they think a friend is not doing so well or perhaps doing something they don’t feel is right.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

SENIOR school

Toast to the Leavers I see it with parents who join the growing list of “Friends of” groups, who are on the sidelines each week supporting their son and his teammates, who always attend Parent nights and Teacher meetings, and who fill any support roles within moments when an email comes out from the co-ordinators of the CGS Angels to help a family in need. I see it in the strength of the OCGA: in the number of past students who attend the reunions at school, interstate and overseas; in the growing number of OCGA groups – sporting and cultural - and in the number of past students we have on staff. This says something about how they value our school.

In football, this sense of culture must be owned by the whole team in order to have a profound impact. In our school community it is fitting to acknowledge and thank the parents here tonight, the staff and the class of 2017 who have contributed to our culture - this sense of community, of looking out for each other and embracing the values of respect and integrity that underpin our great school.

It is also visible in the feedback I regularly receive from visitors, members of the broader community, parents or short term staff. Comments such as:

When you stop and reflect about experiences in life, then you can have perspective and clarity. I want to share with you some of the insights from recently retired AFL players. Here are some of the gems of wisdom from the likes of Stevie J, Bob Murphy and Nick Riewoldt. Much of your success has not yet been realised. This has been but a staging ground, setting the foundation for what lies ahead, but you have given yourself a great opportunity through years of practice and hard work, so make the most of it. Graduating from secondary school is just opening the next door.

• I was walking through the school and heard the way your teachers welcomed the boys and engaged with them. I knew then that this was the school I wanted my son to be at. • Your boys are so polite and helpful, engaging and insightful. • I am not sure what you are doing here, but whatever it is, keep doing it – this is a great school.

We do have something special at Camberwell Grammar. Carry that with you for life! Now I said there were two things I wanted to highlight tonight. The first was culture and the second is the wisdom of reflection.

This is where a new opportunity exists for you to work hard, build trust, and continue to develop yourself. Work on the things that you need to improve and remember that self-belief is one of the most important things of all. Don’t forget to believe in yourself. There will be many distractions and many critics. Play to your strengths. Live the experiences. Learn from your mistakes. Work hard.

Remember, whatever your aspirations, your timeline may not match that of life’s – so be patient, keep persevering, stay true to your goals and celebrate your achievements. Here ends their collective wisdom. I learnt a lot about good men as I observed my father and brothers growing up. I have the good fortune to be married to a good man, to have close friendships with good men, to work with many good men and I have shared my stepson’s journey to manhood. I wish to conclude with a few of my thoughts about you becoming a good man. Align yourself with quality people so you can lean on them for advice, and you can share honest conversations with one another, because there will be challenging times, really tough times, and these are the moments when you will have the opportunity to learn much about yourself. It is how you cope in these times that will shape your character. Yes, self-reflection is always important, but so too is the advice you get from the people that matter most, so listen, reflect, take responsibility for your actions and commit to change – this is when you will really grow. Build strong, positive relationships for these are at the heart of making a difference in life. Work to bring out the best and see the best in others. Your attitude will help influence others, so be generous in thought and deed. Now your relationships with women in your life are vitally important, they may well define you as a man. Look out for the women in your life – those who are colleagues, partners, family members, even those you don’t know so well. Life is not always fair, men can take advantage of women and treat them poorly. They can talk crassly about women and objectify them, but I know you know better. Call out the poor behaviour, treat the women in your life with respect, let them know you have their back. And as you go, be humble, loyal and true to yourself. Have faith in your capacity to cope, always seek a balance between the highs and lows, and remember the people who helped you get to where you are. Your family and friends will be beside you every step of the way. So don’t forget to listen, to laugh, to give and to give thanks. By our deeds! Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to stand and raise your glass in a toast to the Class of 2017.

After a long summer break Cadet training resumed at the end of February, starting a few weeks later than usual due to the House Music Competition taking place in Term 1. However, during January, two members of the Unit, Oscar Balla and Jack McColl, participated in a week long introductory scuba diving course, run by the Victorian Brigade of the Army Cadets, in Portland. Both cadets had participated in a short scuba session during Annual Camp in the Puckapunyal swimming pool, and were two of approximately 15 cadets from across the state of Victoria selected to attend this course. Activities included the study of theoretical aspects of scuba diving, as well as practical training that commenced with snorkelling, and culminated in a dive off the Portland jetty with scuba equipment to a depth of approximately ten metres. This year the Senior Cadet Under Officer was Luke Ireland, and the Regimental Sergeant Major, Cadet Warrant Officer Class One Will de la Rue. They were assisted by CUOs Josh Cooper, Arnie Ferentinos, Oscar Lu, and James Melville. The first major training activity was Recruit Training Day on Sunday 26 February. The 35 Year 9 students who commenced Cadet training this year, together with a few Year 10 students who had not previously done Cadets, were taught basic drill movements on the JTO by the corporals who had only recently been promoted. Most of them had attended the December Courses Camp at Puckapunyal. Most of the Friday afternoon training parades were spent preparing for the bivouac. Recruits were taught the basic elements of map reading, first aid and field craft, whilst the senior cadets’ lessons included movement in the field and advanced field craft. The bivouac took place at Puckapunyal from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 March. After setting up their platoon sites, the two recruit platoons

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

engaged in a night exercise requiring them to capture assets and glowsticks. On Saturday they participated in a range of field craft lessons in the morning, before completing a navigation exercise in the afternoon. The Saturday evening night exercise was similar to the previous night exercise; however, it was run as a competition. The senior cadets were involved in a range of activities, including learning how to conduct a vehicle checkpoint, working together as sections to obtain rations and assets, obtaining intelligence and decoding encrypted messages. During the April holidays, four members of the Unit – CDTSGTs Jacob Hunting, Oscar Balla, Oliver Wong, and CUO Oscar Lu — attended the Adventure Training Award (ATA) camp, passed, and were awarded the ATA badge. This brought to a total six cadets and two staff members who hold the ATA badge, the highest number in the history of the Unit. Much of Term 2 and 3 was spent in undertaking training for Annual Camp. Some training sessions were also dedicated to practising for the Open Day Parade. In addition, most Unit members visited a local Army Depot and met with reserve members, as well as visiting the Shrine of Remembrance. On Saturday 29 July a contingent of four cadets participated in the MCC Cup, the interschool based unit shooting marksmanship competition. CDTSGT Luke Sudholz was awarded first place in one of the competitions. The highlight of the year’s training was the Annual Camp, which was again conducted at Puckapunyal from 15 to 20 September. Activities were meticulously planned by the Year 12 management team led by CUO Luke Ireland and CDTWO1 Will de la Rue, assisted by adult Cadet staff. The camp ended with students participating in a 36 hour inter-platoon

exercise that required them to defend their assets and capture the assets of other platoons. For the first time the Unit used the Raven radios – the Army portable radios for field activities – on an Annual Camp exercise. These radios have replaced the ANPRC-77 radios, that had been used by Cadets for over 30 years. Upon return to school, the Unit completed final rehearsals for and presented the Open Day Parade on Saturday 14 October before a crowd of over 300 people. The reviewing officer this year was Major Timothy Keefe, an old boy from the class of 1995, and a former member of the Unit. This year, a cannon race, and presentations by the Camberwell Grammar School Drill Squad, and the newly formed Camberwell Grammar School Drum Corps were inserted into the parade. This was followed the following Friday evening, 20 October, by the Cadet Dinner, which for the first time took place in the Camberwell Room. Ms Rachel Falloon delivered the toast to the Unit. The Unit also welcomed to its ranks Mr Matthew Aram, a member of the teaching staff. Mr Aram is himself a former cadet, having been a member of the British Army Cadet Force. The Unit also acknowledges the contributions of Mr Alistair Berg during Term 1. Mr Berg was employed as a temporary member of staff to cover a long service leave absence. He is an old boy of the school, and former member of the Cadet Unit. The Unit also thanks the Cadet Parents’ Auxiliary, led by Mrs Pam de la Rue, for their fundraising initiatives. Items purchased by the Parents Auxiliary for the Unit include solar panel equipment to recharge items in the field, and a marquee for functions such as the Open Day Parade.

Cadets provides a platform for such a phenomenon. Many cadets who had never properly camped before finally discovered the enjoyment of sleeping in a ‘hootchie’ and sitting with their mates by the fire. Moreover, many of the cadets in this room had never led before, finding themselves challenged with the responsibility of seven people to keep safe without the guidance of staff. Indeed, every cadet here tonight has put an enormous amount of effort into the Unit, and the Unit has given back to us; particularly the platoon commanders, CUO James Melville, CUO Josh Cooper, and CUO Arnie Ferentinos, who all care deeply about every single cadet under their command. The skills we have picked up along this four-year journey will without a doubt prove invaluable throughout the rest of our lives.

own, and as such, tonight’s marking of the end of our time as cadets holds great sentiments.

The following is an edited version of the speech delivered by CUO Luke Ireland at the Annual Cadet Dinner on Friday 20 October 2017.

In particular, tonight provides an opportunity to pay tribute to the excellence achieved this year by many of the cadets of the Unit; excellence in the form of endeavour, in many different aspects of Cadets, extending far beyond that of coming first in an exercise or winning the Cadet Annual Camp competition, but rather the phenomenal achievements which come about when an individual breaches the intangible barriers of their

I am sure most of us who hold rank can agree that the Unit is, indeed, a family away from our

In my time with this Unit I have noticed something very special; that every cadet has a place among the ranks, where they belong. Every cadet has a purpose or a position in which they are useful and needed, be it as a sergeant working hard with the cadets as their key role model, in our Q Store giving up their lunchtimes to keep us clothed and looking good, or, as a cadet, being here to learn, achieve, get lost in the bush with your mates, and sit around the campfire, making the greatest secondary school memories. No matter who you are or what appointment you hold, we all feel welcomed. Personally, the Unit has taken me to places I never thought I would end up. By the end of the recruit year I found myself in the National Service Lines of Puckapunyal learning what it means to be a Junior NCO. I made friends on that course who I am still close with to this day. Half way through last year I was in Singleton, NSW for the Adventure Training Award on top of a mountain, with a section, having spent half the day hiking up there with full packs and webbing. And today, I have the pleasure of addressing all of you. Indeed, Cadets has a way of bringing out the greatest potential of every cadet.

DEBATING

2017 has proven to be a triumphant year for Camberwell Grammar Debating. The year once again opened with House Debating. Eight Houses fielded four teams each, two from each division, making the trophy very competitive. Student involvement this year was very impressive with about 100 participants – approximately one in eight Senior School students were involved. Direct elimination for first place made the competition more intense. Bridgland proved to be a great obstacle for Derham as they fought for the throne in the finals. Both Houses put up

very impressive performances, but the boys in red were eventually able to secure the top seat. The extremely high standard demonstrated by the debaters laid the bedrock for our success in the lead up to the DAV season, and I would like to thank all the adjudicators who gave up their valuable lunchtimes for this competition. The DAV season started in late March. Camberwell region has traditionally been the focal point of the competition, with other strong schools present, such as Trinity and Balwyn High. Nevertheless, Camberwell Grammar debating teams gave an impressive performance. For the first time in decades, we had a team each from A, B and C Grades progressing into finals play-off. This is an exceptional achievement as DAV Schools Competition, being the largest English-language debating competition in the world, has over 250 schools, 1,500 teams, four grades, 19 regions and five rounds, making it truly hard to come undefeated all the way. C2 Team, consisting of Aidan Chu, Lachlan Doig, Benjamin Finney, James Gunasegaram, Spike Johnson and Oliver Papillo, overcame many strong opponents and reached quarterfinals in the end. This is very impressive as the boys are only in their second year of debating. B1 had an even more phenomenal accomplishment, as James Bickerdike, Christian Chene, Charles Huang, Charles Li, James Saligari, Sepehr Tahmasebi and Michael Tan fought their way all the way to semi-finals. A high standard was also reached by A2 team, composed

of Vignesh Alagappan, Faisal Alshimirti, Michael Josefsson, Jonathan Lim and Luc Rascewski, who were also very close to progressing to semi-finals. They have had some overwhelming successes against strong opponents. Congratulations to all the boys for a magnificent season! Also a massive thank you to Mr Ramalingam, Mr Beale, Mr Gough, Mr Ince and Dr Khor for their co-ordinator and support! Similar levels of outstanding performance were echoed in the Gladwyn Cup. This year, we had the privilege of running the Gladwyn Cup in the brand-new Camberwell Room. With little advertisement needed, we received more registrations than countries, with numerous spectators in the room. A special thank you to Mrs Elizabeth Board for adjudicating the Gladwyn Cup for the final time this year before her retirement! We really appreciate her ongoing support to the debating program. The large number of enthusiastic Year 9 and 10 teams attending was particularly good to see. The addition of North Korea to the debate was a highlight: their hostility against the US in every resolution spiked laughter in the middle of the intense competition. Despite strong “bias and discrimination” against them from the President and the adjudicators, the most notable performance still came from France, represented by Vignesh Alagappan and Michael Josefsson, who for the second year are winners of Gladwyn Cup. Congratulations The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

SENIOR school to Vignesh and Michael on that well-deserved achievement, and thank you to Mr Double for organising the event and making it run so smoothly! The Gladwyn Cup gave our debaters a valuable opportunity to sharpen their skills and provided a strong basis for their dominance in the Victorian Evatt Cup competition held in Term 3. Their prior experiences put them in good hands in the regional round at Melbourne Law School, and Camberwell was proud to have eight teams progressing into State semi-finals at Queen’s College, University of Melbourne. Out of them, two teams, Ryan Campbell and Christian Chene, and Vignesh Alagappan and

Michael Josefsson dominated their sessions and successfully progressed to the State finals held at the Victorian Parliament. The particular hard work and thorough preparation of Vignesh and Michael paid off in the State finals, where they came third in the state and therefore will represent Victoria in the National finals to be held at the Federal Parliament in Canberra later in the year. Congratulations to the team on this astounding result! Term 3 also saw the British Parliament-style debating taking place at St Kevin’s College, Toorak. Camberwell Grammar sent a team of two strong debaters: Oscar Lu and Michael Tan. The duo gave exceptional performances

Work Experience

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards focus on individual choices and setting goals to improve oneself with the support and guidance of people skilled in those areas. The components and areas in which choice can be made are physical recreation, skill, service and adventurous activity; with satisfactory completion being awarded to candidates who displayed commitment and improvement in each activity.

Students in Year 10 undertook a wide variety of work experience placements in June in architectural firms, law practices, sporting organisations, veterinary clinics, hospitals, aged care facilities, gaming franchises, retail businesses, hospitality, research laboratories and real estate agents.

ROTE and Realms of Gold In 2017 ROTE became ECHO, and was re-imagined to reflect the times! ECHO was the brainchild of Michael Josefsson and Vignesh Alagappan, the editors, who decided that electronically, ROTE would never be student friendly if committed to a screen and virtual space. They both insisted, and then convinced, this sceptical Teacher-in-Charge, that a printed hardcopy was essential to convey the student point of view. Essentials remained, like Sniff (now a tradition), and the Editor’s Message to the Student Body, however, included, problems and puzzles that would encourage student interaction. The ambitious frequency of editions (one every two weeks) became analogous to Lady Macbeth’s wish for Duncan’s future, “O never shall sun that morrow see” (Thanks Bill!). The boys worked with some industry to achieve a workable and achievable goal of a variable and unpredictable mix of interviews, and games, puzzles and maxims, all accompanied by photos and reports of events on the busy Camberwell Grammar’s calendar.

Lachlan Doig secured his placement at the newly revamped Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, helping out with research tasks in one of their many labs. Andrew Zeng spent his week interacting with the senior citizens of a local nursing home. Will Dancey undertook his placement with, what’s probably his dream employer, Porsche Australia in Collingwood. Max Foulds got a sense of the travel benefits that come with some jobs when Laerdal Medical took him to the Gold Coast for a two-day trade fair and some sunshine. Cameron Martin’s experience was with CHC Helicopter, where he worked alongside helicopter technicians and even got to undertake a short flight. Many students opted for a retail placement hoping that casual work might follow and then bemoaned the boredom of their experience, wishing they had made more effort to secure a more meaningful placement earlier.

The results are again extraordinary across the full range of scores: indeed, the consistency of our results over the past decade is noteworthy. Twenty-four students (15%) achieved an ATAR of 99 or better, placing them in the top one percent of the state. Thirty-one percent of our students achieved a rank of 95 or better, while 51% of our students achieved a score of 90 or better, placing them in the top ten percent of the state. In addition, 76% of our students achieved a score of 80 or better, and 98% of our students ranked in the top 50% of the state. Our median ATAR score was 90.55. These are extraordinary results and I am very proud of our students for the hard work they did to achieve them. Of course, one of the problems with the VCE is that it ranks students against each other. Only limited numbers of students can get any score, based on statistical rules rather than effort or raw scores. VCE Results alone cannot measure the success of a student’s education. I am very

proud of the students who achieve results in the high nineties – but I am equally proud of students who achieved scores well below this. A result in isolation reveals nothing about a student’s personal story or the circumstances they faced. We value the contributions of all of our students – no matter where their particular talents lie, and we encourage all students to complete their VCE no matter the score. One of our students who attained a score in the 50s will not figure in any media stories today, but in my view, has had a triumphant year given the battles he has faced, and he is well placed to receive an offer for the course of his choosing. I am as proud of him – and of all our students who did their best this year – as I am of our Dux. All students try their best – given their ability and the realities of their lives – and work closely with their teachers to learn and to develop their skills. We are proud of all of them and congratulate them all. Having said that, it is fitting to recognise the hard work and achievement of our highest scoring students. There were nine perfect study scores across a wide range of subjects: Faisal Alshimirti, Classical Studies; Charles Li, Mathematical Methods; Hualong Li, Biology; Ming Kim Low, Mathematical Methods;

Timothy Ng, Literature; Jack Phillips, English; Adrian Xu, Specialist Mathematics and Physics; and Sam Yu, Chemistry. Twenty-four percent of all study scores were 40 or above, which given that we tend to do the more ‘difficult’ VCE subjects is an excellent result. This year the Dux of our School is Adrian Xu, who scored 99.95. Our Proxime Accesserunt are Oscar Lu, Kevin P Wang and Howard Yang, who each scored 99.90. All four boys were clearly actively involved in the full life of the school. Adrian Xu joined our School as a Year 4 student, and quickly embraced all the opportunities we offer. Adrian achieved a Certificate of Academic Excellence in each of Years 9, 10 and 11 and was inducted as a Scholar of the School in his final year. He was appointed as a Monash University Scholar in 2015 and won the Kenneth Atock Memorial Prize for Science in 2016. He also won the Mervyn Britten Memorial Prize for Writing, as well as academic awards for Latin, Physics and Mathematics in Year 12. An accomplished musician, Adrian played in the School Orchestra, Highton Strings, String Orchestra, School Choir and Chamber Music ensemble, as well as playing in the Orchestra for the School’s Production of

‘City of Angels’ in 2016. He earned Full Colours for Music in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017. Adrian also represented the School and his House in Cross Country, Athletics, Cross Country Skiing and Tennis. He was involved in interschool debating, Cadets, community service and was a member of the 2015 String Ensemble European Tour group. Adrian was elected House Vice Captain in his final year. He scored 50 in Physics and Specialist Mathematics, 44 in English Literature, 41 in Chemistry and 40 in Latin. Last year, he achieved 49 in Mathematical Methods and 42 in Music Performance. Oscar Lu similarly excelled in a wide range of academic and co-curricular activities. He was a Scholar of the School in 2017, a Kwong Lee Dow Scholar and won prizes for English as an Additional Language, Mathematics, Chemistry and Chinese as a Second Language Advanced, along with the School Prize for the Captain of Debating in Year 12. Oscar was a House Prefect of Schofield, Vice Captain of Kayaking and also a School Prefect – Captain of Debating and Public Speaking. He was a Cadet Under Officer in his final year as well as being the recipient of the Cadet Adventure Training Award. He scored 46 in English as an Additional Language, 42 in Specialist Mathematics, 41 in Chemistry, 40 in Biology, as well as studying University Enhancement Mathematics in Year 12. In Year 11, Oscar achieved a 50 in Chinese Second Language Advanced and 45 in Mathematical Methods. Kevin P Wang was a conscientious contributor to academic, sporting and cultural activities throughout his secondary schooling. He attended

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

the Victorian Young Leaders to China Tour as a Year 9 student, and represented the School in Soccer and Tennis. His dedication to study and perseverance was rewarded with numerous academic prizes, and by successfully completing the Mathematics Extension Programme at the University of Melbourne this year. He too was recognised as a Scholar of the School this year. Kevin’s high level of academic ability saw him complete two subjects whilst still in Year 11, attaining 45 in Mathematical Methods and 44 in Chinese Second Language. This year, he scored a 47 in Chemistry, 47 in English, 46 in Specialist Mathematics and 45 in Physics. Howard Yang joined our school in Year 7 in 2012. He too participated in the full breadth of opportunities available, participating in interschool Debating and the Gladwyn Cup competition. He also assisted with school publications. In addition to these activities, Howard participated in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme in 2015 and achieved a Bronze Award for his efforts. A Scholar of the School, Howard completed two VCE subjects whilst in Year 11 last year, attaining 43 in Chinese Second Language and 45 in Mathematical Methods. This year, he scored 44 in Chemistry, 46 in English, 38 in Latin and 46 in Specialist Mathematics. A further 20 students earned scores of 99 or better – Vignesh Alagappan, Faisal Alshimirti, Danny Chen, Andy Chen, Joshua Cooper, Mark Elnazak, Timothy Falloon, Michael Josefsson, Hualong Li, Timothy Ng, Daniel Pham, Jacob Purcell, Yat So, Zhen Jerry Tan, Nicholas Tjangdjaja, Felix Wang, Anthony Wong, Jeremy Yi, Sam Yu, and Victor

Zhao. These boys also studied a wide range of subjects and actively involved themselves in the life of the school. I remind all students that these results are neither a guarantee of success in life, nor a measure of a person’s worth. I remain proud of all of our students, and thank them for their contribution to our school. Education is about so much more than academic results. We will certainly be here to stand by all of our students in the days and years ahead, and to help them find a course of study – or an alternative pathway – that will be right for them. I congratulate those of our students who have done well, I commiserate with those who may be feeling disappointed, and I encourage both groups to keep these results in perspective. I would like once more to publicly acknowledge once again our remarkable teaching staff who helped our students to achieve these wonderful results. I know that they too are very proud of their students. I also congratulate and thank our parents, who have encouraged their sons by supporting them through the ups and downs of a VCE year. Congratulations once more to the Class of 2017 on their excellent results. It is pleasing to see that their hard work has been rewarded so generously. I am proud to be able to share such good news with you. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

“No storm can shake my inmost calm, I hear the music ringing. It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing?” These beautiful words, sung by the Chamber singers at the May Concert, give a true reflection of music as it touches the daily life of every boy in the Junior School. From the first Assembly song to the thrilling massed singing that closes the Christmas Service and our school year, music is an integral part of the culture of Junior School. Our music program has flourished as we welcomed Mrs Trista Fry to our teaching staff. With her energy and expertise, the lower primary boys have loved the movement, playing, singing and listening throughout their music classes.

Junior School Choir The Junior School Choir has been strong, with a membership of over 60 boys in Year 4 and Year 5. Leading the singing at our Easter Service at St Mark’s Church, they produced a fine sound as they sang The Lord’s Prayer and a lovely arrangement of Kum Ba Yah. At the May Concert, the Choir’s repertoire expanded in style with the entertaining song Hats! complete with the boys’ crazy choices of headwear. In September, the boys loved performing Limbo Lumbo and a humorous version of the nursery rhyme This Old Man, each with a jazz accompaniment to give the songs great style. Term 4 performances included Open Day, Grandparents’ Day and finally a beautiful Christmas program to conclude the year. Mr Nicolas Johnston has been a wonderful accompanist, enhancing our songs with his trademark improvisational style.

Chamber Singers Our Chamber Singers began their year with a lovely performance of the ‘Irish Blessing’ at the Easter Service. In May, this fine group of 22 beautiful young voices sang in perfect harmony How Can I Keep from Singing? At the September concert, the humorous Sing a Song of Sixpence was enhanced with a double clarinet birdsong. It was an honour for the Chamber Singers to lead the worship and sing The Sea Is So Wide at the first Junior School Service in our lovely All Souls Chapel. The boys also enjoyed visiting the residents of The Mews Aged Care facility, where their confident singing and instrumental pieces charmed their elderly audience. To complete the year, the boys led the singing at the Christmas Service at St Mark’s. Fine accompanying by Mr Mark Kerr supported the musicality of this choral ensemble.

Year 2 and 3 Superstars Choir With Mrs Fry’s musical inspiration and Mr Bishop’s wonderful accompanying, the young singers of Years 2 and 3 have enjoyed learning many songs for performances at Assembly, Open Day and the Easter and Christmas services at St Mark’s. Their performance at the September Concert was a highlight as they performed Saying Goodbye and Mango Walk to an enchanted audience. These fresh young voices are a delight with their enthusiasm and energy for clear diction in entertaining songs and beautiful sound when reflective and thoughtful.

junior School music Junior School Orchestra

Bass Clef Band

Flute Ensemble

The Junior School Orchestra continues to maintain a high standard of string playing under the baton of Mrs Marcelle Drummond. Assisted by Mr Simon Meighan and Mrs Miriam Falloon, the Orchestra has performed a challenging program of varied music throughout the year. Two Waltzes and Mexican Hat Dance were the pieces presented at the May Concert. With additional players joining the Orchestra in June, they performed Gargoyles and the Blue Tango at the School Concert. After the Open Day Concert, the Orchestra ranks grew once again to prepare the Term 4 program including The Sloop John Band and Jingle Bell Rock for the final Ensemble Soiree. It is always very satisfying to see these musicians develop technically throughout the year.

The Bass Clef Band is an Ensemble for beginner cellists and double bass players, ably led by Mr Simon Meighan. With similar purpose to the String Ensemble, the boys learn to master the skills of playing together so that they are well prepared for the challenges of Orchestra. Boys join this group throughout the year and the fun of producing a strong sound together encourages their individual learning. Their playing at Assembly and the final Soiree shows fine musical understanding.

Flute Ensemble membership has grown to 14, under Mr Greg Lee’s expert guidance. From experienced players to beginners, they work together as a supportive team and are always keen to perform. The boys have played with musical insight at both Middle School and Junior School Assemblies and the Ensemble Soiree.

String Ensemble String Ensemble mastered the challenges of a beginner ensemble, playing and music reading as the boys prepare for later membership of the Junior School Orchestra. With Ms Amanda Fairs’ inspiring preparation, the String Ensemble comprising young upper string players has learned many pieces. This group is always eager to play at Assemblies, Soirees, Concerts and Open Day as they develop their instrumental expertise and confidence.

Boys who have enjoyed their classroom recorder learning are encouraged to join the Recorder Ensemble to extend their skill. They have enjoyed learning both descant and treble recorders and have prepared several pieces performing at Assembly, Open Day and the Ensemble Soiree. Trained by Mrs Fry, the boys play with clear articulation and musical phrasing.

Pipersnipers brings our flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone and bassoon players together. Led by Ms Linda Wostry, they have played with a lovely blended sound at Assembly, Open Day and the Ensemble Soiree.

junior School music Percussion Ensemble Percussion Ensemble is a large group of enthusiastic musicians who love learning to play intricate rhythms and catchy melodies on percussion instruments. Working with Mrs Fry, they have performed djembe drum circles and fascinating percussion pieces. They certainly attract audience attention when performing at Assemblies, Open Day and the Ensemble Soiree.

Year 5 Ensemble Year 5 Ensemble represents the culmination of the instrumental music program in Junior School with all students in the year level, playing together as a combined music group. Commencing in Term 3, this major project is a daunting task with boys at various technical levels coming together. It prepares all students for the largescale music performance groups in Middle School and is a major focus for music performance in the final year of Junior School. The Year 5 Ensemble performances at Graduation and Final Assembly are a highlight of the students’ musical experience.

Assemblies, Concerts and Soirees Assemblies, Concerts and Soirees allow all our students to discover the essence of music in Junior School; vigorous and strong, touching the life of each one of us. Of course, nothing could be accomplished without the guidance and encouraging teaching of our wonderful music staff who support the boys throughout their time in Junior School and beyond. Lifelong skills and understandings have begun and established in these formative years. The reward for all is confident boys who enjoy their music and are ready to explore the opportunities that are presented to them. Mrs Helen Thomas Director of Music – Junior School

Our Mid-Year Concert, an annual gathering of talented musicians and enthusiastic music lovers, once again surpassed the previous expectations with the continuous efforts of all students culminating to an exceptional night. Elements of the program appeared as a surprise, whether it be original songs or emerging groups. From the growing Junior School Orchestra and their adorable iPad performance in the School Song from Matilda, to the Senior Orchestra’s triumphant execution of Danzón No. 2 by Arturo Márquez; amazing musicianship was displayed by all players across all ensembles. Music has a way of finding the big, invisible moving pieces inside our hearts and souls and helping us figure out the position of things inside us. At the September Concert, performers ranged from our Year 2 and 3 Superstars, all the way to the large school choir. The musical community here at CGS achieved yet another triumph, continuing to propel our music program even further with diverse and ambitious channels in repertoire. Music is nothing but a mix of sounds and noises until it enters the ears of the listener. As performers, we produce those sounds, but you as the audience make that into music. After all, we are living in an era where advancements in our society readily envelop us.

And music, just like everything else is transient and moves on. In an interview, Australian violinist Ray Chen pointed out, “We are making music that was written hundreds of years ago relatable to people who are living today.” Altogether, the 2017 musical year marked another resounding success, a true testament to the extraordinary calibre of our distinguished musicians and the ever-flourishing music program here at CGS.

Beethoven once said, “Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.” I believe music has the ability to convey all sorts of emotion, regardless of gender, and whether the emotion is joy and happiness or sadness and despair. Music triumphs human emotion and brings out the soul in everyone.

Every Tuesday morning was something to look forward to for Middle School. After farewelling the Year 8s and welcoming the Year 6s and Year 7s, the Middle School Choir had an army ready to sing. For the first half of the year, we sung numbers from musicals, including the jazzy Anything Goes, the fitting School Song from Matilda, and everyone’s favourite, The Ballad of Sweeney Todd. For the latter half of the year, we sung the epic Dies Irae from Verdi’s Requiem, complete with orchestra, soloists and some extra Sopranos from Camberwell Girls’ Grammar. It truly was spectacular, and I’m sure all those involved will remember their happy Days of Anger for a long time to come. Aidan Harris Year 8

MUSIC

2017 was once again a triumphant year for the Middle School Orchestra, with the number of students increasing more than ever before. With an army of hearty, enthusiastic boys, we were ready to start the year off with a bang. As time flew past, with regular rehearsals all the while, it was time for the Middle School Orchestra’s (MSO) first public performance, the Mid-Year Concert. Mr Nicolas Johnston was the lucky music staff member who had committed himself to the wild beast that is the MSO, and he would now be entitled to both a tiring and enriching year with us. His first time conducting for the MSO resulted in an explosive performance of Slavonic Dance No. 1, which was a real crowd pleaser. We were also lucky to invite Mr Kerr back from the successes of last year to conduct Contraption, which ensured a delightful and mysterious performance. It seemed as if we had just been let off the hook for the Mid-Year Concert when preparations for the September Concert began. Rehearsals and practice became ever more spirited as we worked hard to uphold the high standard we displayed at the Mid-Year Concert. The time leading up to the concert had flown by, and, as we sat on stage, under the glaring stage lights, we first performed March to the Scaffold from Symphonie Fantastique, a grim and moody piece, followed by Hop to It, a more cheerful and energetic piece. All in all, a wonderful end to a wonderful year.

Being a part of the Middle School Orchestra is truly an enriching and worthwhile commitment, where not only your musical skills are improved on, but also your collaborative and social skills. I am honoured to have been the leader of this mighty group, and I truly hope that the leader of the Orchestra for 2018 gets as much out of this experience as I did. Of course, none of the achievements and performances of the Middle School Orchestra could have been possible without the supervision, hard work, and contributions made by the music staff. Our greatest gratitude goes to you. Wilson Zhu Year 8

Middle School Concert Band

Middle School Stage Band

Angliss String Orchestra

Led by the amazing conductors Ms Wostry and Mr Kerr, this band, consisting of woodwind, brass and percussion instruments, achieved wonderful results this year. Our repertoire this year included the pieces Baby Elephant Walk, Cobra Dance, themes from Aladdin and Rippling Watercolors. Every Thursday lunchtime students from Years 6 to 8, whether beginners or experts, come together to make beautiful music, not because their teachers made them do it, but because they personally enjoy it. I personally enjoyed the fact that everybody tried their best to make the music sound better in every way they could. Thank you to all of the music staff for helping this band become what it has become, helping the students in every way they could.

Middle School Stage Band is one of Camberwell Grammar’s extraordinary extra-curricular music activities. I have been in the band for two years and it has been one of the best experiences I have had. On Monday lunchtimes, we rehearse in the Mallinson Music School led by Ms Wostry, our wonderful conductor. Middle School Stage Band is a small group of about 25 boys, but we are always looking for any boys excelling in their music and we encourage them to come along and grow our stage band. In rehearsals, we have a broad range of music, from Latin to swing jazz and blues. Often Ms Wostry chooses some less difficult pieces of music for the less experienced and some more difficult pieces as a challenge for some and a bit of a change in music.

Once again, it has been a very memorable year for all of the talented Angliss String Orchestra musicians. Some fresh new faces as well as some familiar ones, we all improved not in only musical skills but also social, collaborative and leadership skills. It was great to see the talent and improvement that was coming from all the musicians. The high-quality music that was produced by this team was definitely some of the best music created by the Middle School all year.

Jerry Ji Year 8

We often do quite a few gigs throughout the year, for example we perform at the Junior School’s Mother’s Day breakfast each year and school concerts, including the Biennial Concert. This semester we performed at Open Day, Grandparents’ Day and the Year 8 Music Ensemble Concert. Overall, Middle School Stage Band is a great experience to be a part of and we encourage as many students as possible to come along and give it a try. Daniel Watson Year 8

After many precious Thursday lunchtimes rehearsals, we performed the Serenade for Strings by Tchaikovsky for the Mid-Year Concert. The practice that went into this particular piece was outstanding. Everyone tried their best to make sure that every note played was precise, and the dynamic and intonation was always ‘on point’. Our second and last piece we performed was the Unfinished Symphony by Franz Schubert. After even more hard-work and Thursday lunchtime preparation, our performance at the September Concert was outstanding. All the Thursday lunchtimes we sacrificed were all worthwhile for all the skills we improved. This would not have been possible if it weren’t for our conductor, Mr Wakely. His support helped us all to improve in all the different skill we learnt. Even though he was very picky towards making all of the notes precise and accurate, he was also very humorous. It truly has been a wonderful year performing with the Angliss String Orchestra. Ryan Park Year 8

R O I N SE OL SCHOSIC MU

Conversations around music in general terms often tend to gravitate towards preferred genres, artists or aspects of musicianship such as the tone colour of a vocalist’s sound, virtuosity of playing, or simply what we have decided we like and don’t like. A great joy in music education is seeing our boys breaking down the pre-conceived notions about what constitutes “good” music, discovering new genres, new music and a greater depth to possibilities of their performance and participation. Most of these transformations in thinking happen gradually, often through years of study. However, there are beautiful moments of learning that occur, where sometimes, things can fall into place in an instant. Seeing the intense, focused and slightly cheeky look in the eyes of over 300 boys, ready to unleash vocal fury before this year’s performance of Verdi’s Dies Irae was one such time. It was in that moment, before their stunning performance that confirmed choir fully understood Verdi’s intent, from his Requiem composed over 140 years ago. This moment also encapsulated another magnificent characteristic of music participation; the joy of creating sound together. The priceless grins on the faces of the boys just before a big phrase, or a tricky entry that they know they have mastered are exquisite confirmations that as a group, we have found the meaning in the music we have worked so hard to create.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

I firmly believe that the world is not divided into those who are “musical” or not. Rather, some have learned the joy of participating in music, and some haven’t… yet. It is my wish that every boy at Camberwell Grammar learns this fundamental truth, that taking part in music making is, very deeply, a rewarding experience. It is a wonderful thing that so many students make a physical connection to music through the study of an instrument, as this adds an exceptional and unique level of excitement in our learning community with our large and vibrant ensembles. Some students will explore their own voice with great rigor through vocal studies and other may choose to sing with the choir once a week. Regardless of the mechanism, music becomes more rewarding the more advanced students become, and it is always critical for us all to support our musicians to keep learning and practicing. In a world that gives us instant gratification in so many areas of our lives, the immense yet delayed gratification from completing, or mastering a piece of music is a critical aspect of learning, which can positively impact across a student’s entire education. Every year, we see more and more scientific studies confirming the strong connection between music participation and academic excellence. Music excites the mind, consumes

it and unlocks our potential to think in the abstract. It is the only art form that occurs only in the dimension of time – we can represent music on a page or a screen, talk about it, analyse it. It remains abstract; we cannot see music, or freeze it in time, but we can understand it on so many levels from the intricate technical detail to the spiritual experience we occasionally receive as players or audience members. Achieving this ultimate level of musical understanding is something that the boys of Camberwell Grammar School have achieved in bounds in 2017. Their continual, often joyful but always tenacious effort over many years is what has enabled them to create so many memorable moments this year. I often joke that all I ever do is “wave my arms at the music” but in essence, this is really quite true. It is the dedicated, consistent effort of the boys, supported by their families and in the excellent hands of their teachers that create such musical masterpieces as we were treated to this year. My sincere thanks and congratulations for an exceptional year in music, as always, go to the musicians and music staff for the excellent work that they do in every lesson, every rehearsal, every day. Mr Ben Bishop Director of Music

House Music

Choir

CGS Chorale

Kicking off the year, 2017 marked the 51st annual Senior School House Music Competition, in which all boys are given the opportunity to express their musical sides (somewhere out of the shower). As a new challenge, the competition was brought forward to the early weeks of Term 1 to give all House members, particularly new boys, a chance to truly come together and bond over the mutually enjoyed satisfaction of singing as a choir. Together with group singing, the competition also featured an instrumental performance produced by each House.

As Leader of Choir this year, there was no greater honour than distributing music before rehearsals and packing up afterwards. In all seriousness, this was but a small price to pay for the awe of hearing over 300 boys blasting their hearts out; an experience I am most grateful for over my Camberwell Grammar journey.

After another successful year, the Chorale has once again shown their improvement and dedication towards singing melodies and harmonies, creating stunning and exciting music. Led by Mr Kerr with accompaniment by Mr Roberts and voices from students in Years 7 to 12, the chorale performed in many special events which included the opening of the new building as well as the May and September Concerts.

This year, we were privileged enough to have the famous Douglas Haywood, a renowned choral conductor and director, well known for conducting Carols by Candlelight on Christmas Eve, to join us on this special night to not only critique and score us, but also to share his insights on what it truly means to be part of an ensemble. At last, there must always be a winner for a competition to befit its definition, despite everyone’s combined effort and enthusiasm. Deserving of their accomplishment, Steven House eventuated as the victor, a credit to their hard work and drastic improvements. Congratulations to Steven for their victory, but also congratulations to all Houses whose long, tiresome and sometimes struggling efforts culminated for an unforgettable and memorable night. Edward Tan Captain of Music

Following the success of performing Broadway Classics some years ago, the School Choir again used this formula in the May Concert, presenting a variety of numbers consisting of Anything Goes to The Ballad of Sweeney Todd and Senior School’s favourite, in Lily’s Eyes from The Secret Garden. The boys lifted the intensity up a notch for the September Concert performing the difficult Dies Irae from Verdi’s Requiem with some help from Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College, which featured the singing prowess from a number of soloists, including that of William de la Rue (bass). The School Choir’s final major event is also the last for many of us, with the intimate Carol Choir Service at St. Marks, a fitting way to farewell music at Camberwell Grammar School.

In the Mid-Year Concert, the Chorale performed a French song called Dirait-on by Morten Lauridsen. With lots of practice in memorising and perfecting the French pronunciation of words, Dirait-on showed beautiful melodies and harmonies. In the September Concert the chorale performed Tap-tap and Parting Glass. Tap-tap is a rhythmic challenging song sung in Haitian Creole and Parting Glass is a traditional Scottish song, featuring solos including that of Will Woods (tenor), Christian Chene (tenor) and Theo Gong (bass).

Senior School Stage Band

It’s amazing to see how much the Camberwell Grammar School Concert Band has developed and achieved, since joining it six years ago. In conjunction with displaying the School’s musical prowess, the Concert Band, via frequent Wednesday lunchtime rehearsals, as well as the performances themselves, have provided boys with the opportunity to refine their instrumental talents. Performing in almost all major school musical events, the Concert Band has consistently covered a range of musical genres, from classical to contemporary, and has done so at the highest standard. Of course, the Concert Band would not be able to perform as well as it does, nor would it exist without the leadership and work of Mr Byrne and the many students who participate in it, so I would like to extend my gratitude to them. Good luck to all those in Concert Band next year. I’m sure you will all do a great job.

This year the Senior Stage Band had the pleasure of being led by both Mr Johnston and Mr O’Callaghan. Under their leadership, the band and I had the delight of playing a variety of challenging pieces, from well-known Big Band Era music like “Birdland” to an original composed by Mr Johnston, composed specifically for the band. This was an exceptional year for me as I got to be exposed to multiple different styles of Jazz and different techniques of playing. As a player who has played in the Stage Bands from Year 7, I highly recommend both new and experienced players in all years to join the stage band as it is an experience I will cherish forever.

ASPIRE International Youth Music Festival In the June/July school holidays, a group of string students from Years 8 to 12, dubbed the ‘Aspire Highton Strings’, travelled to Brisbane to participate in the ASPIRE International Youth Music Festival run by Student Horizons. The competition consisted of five categories: Concert Band, Jazz Band, String and Symphony Orchestras as well as Choir. The string program consisted of one set piece, the funky Red Rhythmico by American composer Kirt Mosier, and a piece of our own choosing, which we decided as Mendelssohn’s melodious String Sinfonia No. 2 in D Major. Camberwell Grammar School came a narrow second to Brisbane Boys’ Grammar in the String category, whom we were fortunate enough to play and interact with after the

adjudication. One of the highlights of the trip was listening to the overall winners, Westlake Girls’ College, perform Cantate Domino by Rupert Lang, which gave us all goosebumps. In addition to the music festival, students were exposed to more performance opportunities through concerts at Brisbane’s French Festival and Old Government House, featuring solos by Sebastian Csutoros and Theo Gong from excerpts of Camille Saint-Saens’ Le Carnaval des Animaux, with the latter and Aidan Oh also having cameos “parler-ing français”. Other pieces, which also made appearances, were the ‘Allegro’ from Mozart’s Divertimento in F Major and String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich,

performed by Edward Wu (Violin 1), Geoffrey Gong (Violin 2), Matthew Wu (Viola) and Sebastian Csutoros (Cello). Apart from music, the boys treated themselves with the Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe Exhibition and an amusing, enduring, historic tour of St Helena’s Island, after watching Brisbane’s beautiful coastline scenery on the ferry ride there. A big vote of appreciation goes to Mr Byrne, Ms Krupina and in particular Mr Wakely, for accompanying the boys and ensuring a smooth and safe journey.

Chamber Music

After taking a temporary break due to the ASPIRE competition, the Highton Strings resumed normality in preparation for the September Concert in Term 2, expanding to a larger group featuring boys between Years 6 to 12. The repertoire that was on show was the gleeful Marcia from Serenage for Strings by Swedish composer Dag Wirén.

One of the many musical highlights at Camberwell Grammar is the enriching Chamber Music program. For many musicians, playing in a small group, often with only three or four others is the ultimate of musical experience. Camberwell has a wide variety of chamber projects from Brandenburg Concertos featuring as many as ten boys to a smaller Mendelssohn trio. The rehearsals at are often full of laughter as well as serious music making. It is almost always the highlight of the week.

It must go without saying that an enormous gratitude of thanks goes to the string music staff, Mrs Drummond, Ms Fairs, Mr Meighan, Ms Toh and in particular Mr Wakely, who sought tirelessly to improve our playing both technically and expressively. The final highlight of the year was the Twilight Concert, where a variety of composers was on display: from Mozart to Bloch, to the Jazz legend Nat King Cole. I hope that our audience enjoyed the night of music as much as we did. Theo Gong Year 12

“Very often, we have to think more about others than we do ou rselves.”

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

The outstanding standard of chamber playing is possible because of the brilliant and nurturing music staff who share their wisdom with the students. Camberwell Grammar musicians can form friendships based on the sharing of great music. It is a great joy to really get to know a colleague’s unique way of playing and then, with each year, grow in experience and ability together. The study and performance of Chamber Music allows us to explore a heightened way of playing. We learn

about more than just music. We learn to make compromises, investigate alternative ways of doing things and very often, we have to think more about others than about ourselves. Emre Cakmakcioglu Year 11

DRAMA

R O I N JU L O O H C S MA DRA Ali Baba, The Musical We will tell a tale that you’ll hardly believe, This is what can happen if you try to deceive… The students sang the massed chorus to open the recent Junior School production of Ali Baba The Musical. These opening lines, sung by the company as the citizens of Baghdad, led us to Mr and Mrs Ali Baba, who struggle to make a living until Ali, in the course of delivering a pizza, stumbles across the lock-up garage where Mustafa Shower and his band of petty thieves have stashed their hoard of stolen goodies.

“These fresh you a delight with th ng voices are a nd energy for eir enthusiasm clear diction.”

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

Giving in to temptation, Ali Baba steals as many gold bars as he can carry in a sack on his bicycle, and so the plot thickens with many colourful characters to tell the story – the wealthy Cassim, mistakenly captured and forced to write out the National Curriculum, son and chef Hamid and his clever girlfriend Sandy who devises the magic pizza ingredients to send the real villains to sleep. It is the comedy duo Slap and Tickle, accompanied by their camel Flash, who discover that Ali Baba is really the guilty party… This crazy pantomime, performed by the boys from Years 3, 4 and 5, delighted the audiences over three performances. Audience participation was a highlight, giving the Year 5 villains, Year 4 citizens and Year 3 pizza ingredients wonderful applause for their singing and dancing. The Junior School musical production is a Term 2 project. With all students in Years 3, 4 and 5 in the cast, it is an important part of the whole school drama program. For many students, this first venture onto the stage is the beginning of a lifelong interest in theatre and performing arts. The company had just 11 weeks to take the show from script reading to the final colourful production. The guidance of the wonderful Junior School staff

and the expertise of the technical team made the vision a reality. There was an enormous sense of pride as our young performers took over the responsibility for the success of the show in performance week, bringing the musical production to a magnificent close as the company of 125 students sung a rousing chorus at the final curtain. The huge audience applause was their well-earned reward for enjoyable hard work.

Drama

Life is a Story All children from Pre-Prep to Year 2 entertained their audience in the original musical Life is a Story. Written to feature their personalities and talents by their Music teacher, Mrs Trista Fry, the musical brought the lower primary year to a joyous conclusion.

The Year 2 boys narrated the story about the twists and turns of life as well as showcasing their singing, dancing and recorder skills in a rock ‘n roll style. The Preps thrilled and rocked with their dancing while the Year 1 boys reminded us, through song and dance, not to worry. What a Wonderful World became a visual rainbow spectacle from the Pre-Preps and the

show concluded with the whole cast reminding us that through music we all shine together. The boys were a shining example of the fun we have when making music together. Mrs Helen Thomas Assistant Director of Music – Junior School

a trans-stage zip line as we did in this show. This was just one example of the challenging blocking, choreography and stagecraft that these young actors were required to grasp, and yet they did so with absolute professionalism. Likewise, you only need to glance at the prompt script to realise the enormity of the task for the wonderful stage crew led by stage manager Thomas, and fronted by Will Woods and Finegan Sampson. I was given a taste of this on opening night and the number of set changes and organisational jobs they were required to look after in the first half alone was no menial task. The collaborative effort and professionalism in their approach made for a vastly impressive show. James Frampton Captain of Drama

The Life and Times of Timothy Simon The Middle School play was set in modern Melbourne. Over the course of the play, we saw settings such as the eco-terrorist’s hideout, Timothy Simon’s office, the side of the street where Timothy Simon temporarily resided, and heaven. A major device for the scene changes was Periaktoi – an ancient set piece used for displaying rapidly changing theatre scenes, which is essentially a rotating triangular prism. The director didn’t hide the changing of each scene, as no blackout was used; giving the audience an inside look into what happened behind the scenes. One of the best moments of the play was the eco-commando montage, to get into Timothy Simon’s Office. The tension was built in the scene due to the revolving set piece, and most of the action took place in the ventilation shaft that the actors climb up. The actors ventured to the top of the building to Timothy Simon’s office. The Mission Impossible music added to the suspense of the scene. The scene with Middleton and Tony on one side, and Timothy’s closest friends on the other, desperately trying to get Timothy back, created a great deal of tension. I’m sure the audience found themselves on the edge of their seats. The music, along with fantastic acting, provided a nervous energy and vibe.

CAST

DRAMA

R O I N SE OL SCHOMA DRA Mnemonic With new personnel, new productions and new heights to aim for, Camberwell Grammar again pushed the boundaries of school theatre and performance in another busy and successful year of Drama. In perhaps the most ambitious task yet undertaken by the Drama department, the Senior School play Mnemonic was an electrifying and reflective meta-theatrical piece of physical theatre. The three incredible shows were hardly enough for the audience to fully comprehend the complexity of the ‘Theatre de Complicité‘ show. The play follows three separate storylines: Virgil (myself), a middle aged man, searching for his distant girlfriend Alice, who herself is on a journey to find her father, and the discovery of a neolithic iceman (Cyrus Chan) which captivates the nation. In all, it is a story of self discovery, realisation and reflection. The stunning, complex lighting design, which was this year managed by Aidan Chew, mixed with the minimalistic and clinical laboratory set, created an innovative and enigmatic mise-en-scene to the piece. However, even this was secondary to the way in which the cast undertook the enormous task of making sense of what was an extremely challenging script. Led by the senior members of the cast including myself, Aidan MacLennan, Finn McGrath and Miles Ormerod, Mnemonic was an experience unlike anything any of us had ever experienced before, and was only made possible through hours and hours of hard work and commitment by everyone involved. The unparalleled commitment and forensic focus by the cast and crew, and the maturity and professionalism in taking on such a complex production was outstanding, and the enthralling stage show that resulted was absolutely deserving of the high praises it received on all three nights.

SENIOR School music

2017 saw another instalment of the occasional Year 9 and 10 Production, with Ms Penny Wood directing Of Mice and Men. Set in post Dust Bowl America in the late 1930s, the play tells the tragic story of two migrant field workers’ ’best laid plans‘ of owning their own ranch, and the obstacles that stood in the way of that ambition, revealing the nature of dreams, loneliness and sacrifice. With an unusually small cast, the workload placed on the boys was immense, however, clearly not by any means an insurmountable task. The maturity of the boys, in particular David Bennie and Spike Johnson, in being able to depict the dark adult themes and ideas of the text, along with their diligence in rehearsals and ability to take direction was highly commendable and as impressive, if not more so, than the fantastic production itself. It was highly engaging and deeply moving for each audience, but also extraordinarily informative for the students studying this text in their English classes. James Frampton Captain of Drama

The study of Art at Camberwell Grammar School occurs in all sections of the School. From our youngest artist in the Pre-Prep centre, where making art is exploratory, kinaesthetic and discovery based; through to the senior years where art making is also exploratory and kinaesthetic, but mixed with intention and a dose of academic rigour. For students at Camberwell Grammar School, Art and Design education is both practical and academic. It is engaging, challenging and immensely demanding. Students are supported to develop both cognitive and practical abilities and to understand the power of the arts to communicate ideas, transmit cultural understandings and to influence and persuade. This enables students to participate with passion and intellect in this visual and technological world. We welcomed Ms Tracy Sarroff who replaced Kate Thornburn on maternity leave to the department. I thank her for the contribution she made this year in Studio Art at VCE level and for the inspirational work she did with our Senior and Middle School students. We continue reinforcing our commitment to providing students Arts based excursions. Such opportunities allow students to engage with artworks, both contemporary and traditional and to have conversations with practising artists. Our Senior School students participated in excursions to view TopArts, NGV International, the David Hockney exhibition and contemporary exhibitions at ACCA, as well as smaller privately owned and “on the streets” galleries. We also continued to further develop our capacity to extend student writing and critical thinking through ongoing staff professional development.

Art and Design staff also spent the morning with the chief industrial designer at the City of Melbourne who explained in detail the process and aesthetic considerations behind design in the city. From light bulbs, bollards, bins and seating, the morning was fascinating and gave us a unique insight into our city. Our commitment to enriching the artistic lives of the Camberwell Grammar School community continues to drive us. The evening classes, open to our community continue to grow and all classes fill quickly with past students, parents and friends using the great facilities and creatively engaging in the art making process. The exhibition programme has also expanded with the introduction last year of the David Williams’ Gallery. In Term 1, the Year 9 students exhibited their painted skateboard decks to a gathering of family and friends. Opened by contemporary artist Jud Wimhurst, the evening was a great celebration of creativity and diversity.

MIDDLE & SENIO SCHOOLR VISUAL ARTS

VISUAL ARTS

From luscious, tactile ceramic surfaces, paintings and drawings rich with meaning, to designs that solve problems and provide creative contemporary solutions; artists at Camberwell Grammar School have engaged in a rich and diverse Visual Arts programme.

We again hosted Agendo, our biannual art competition for emerging artists and David Williams’ Exhibition in his own gallery, which was wonderful. The year concluded with EXIT17, our VCE exhibition of works from artists in Art, Studio Art and VCD. Every studio space and the David Williams Exhibition were overflowing with work that showcased our senior artists. It astounds me every year. We are indeed fortunate to work with every student, in all studios and in all sections of the School.

Andrew Graham, Year 8

May I take this opportunity to thank the incredibly supportive and professional Art staff who work tirelessly to provide students with world best practice and an art education of the highest order. We look forward to doing it all again in 2018. Mr David Williamson Head of Art

Towards the end of March, the whole Middle School made their way to the Bill Sewart Athletics Track in Burwood for the House Athletics Carnival. In near perfect conditions, the competition between the Houses was fierce. There were great performances by competitors from each House, some close finishes and the leading House changed a number of times throughout the day. By the time the relays had been run, Macneil emerged as the clear winner, by placing in the top four for each age group and winning the overall competition, followed by Summons in second place.

The starter’s horn sounded and competitors surged across the start line, but it didn’t take long before the strong runners raced ahead. However, once again Macneil finished strongly on the day, fending off valiant efforts from both Derham and Bridgland, who finished second and third respectfully. Congratulations to Jake Petersen, Charlie Chun and Jimmy Smith, who won the Year 6, 7 and 8 competitions respectively.

As the year came to an end, the Swimming Carnival was held at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. As with the House Athletics Carnival, competition was fierce and there were many close races and a few run away victories. Seated in the elevated stands on the poolside, boys enthusiastically cheered competitors as they powered through the water. Sprints, relays and even the body board relay were all hotly contested and each House celebrated success at the meet. Throughout the year, many team sports were played as Triangulars, on Friday afternoons. For each Triangular, Houses fielded teams in three nominated sports. Orienteering moved to Wattle Park and the new course proved to be popular with competitors. Other sports were held on the KAO, JTO and at local playing

House Sport is a popular feature on the Middle School calendar, and in 2017 each competition was hotly contested. Athletics, cross country, soccer, softball, swimming, basketball, volleyball, orienteering and tennis all featured in the Middle School House Sport program, but sadly some of the regular sports missed out due to adverse weather conditions. Throughout the year, students in Years 6, 7 and 8 competed in each sport to represent their House, win shields, and vie for the Tonkin Cup. The depth of talent and determination in each House was commendable.

T R O P S E S U HO

The eight Houses competed in the Senior School House Sport Competition to win the coveted Jarrett Cup. Athletics and Cross Country were two of the traditional events that continued this year, while other events incorporated the use of our new Sport Centre at school, including the stand-alone Swimming carnival and a MultiSport competition. Our students competed with outstanding skill, but more importantly, in great spirit. The 2017 House Sport competition began with Athletics, which was held on an extraordinarily hot day in March at Bill Sewart Athletics Track. Despite the heat, both staff and students combined to put on a remarkable day. The School’s top athletes created many highlights throughout the event. Taran Laurence (Derham) and Alex Wilson-Brown (Summons) were dominant in long-distance and short-distance events respectively, and Nicholas Clark (Macneil) performed strongly in long and triple jump. Matthew McKenna (Bridgland) took out the 100, 200 and 400 metre races, while Ryan Box (Schofield) and Max Inglis (Derham) also both performed well from Year 10. Dilina DeSilva (Steven), David McColl (Summons) and Mitchell Coffey (Clifford) were the standout athletes from Year 11. Dilina also won the 100, 200 and 400 metre races, along with the 100 metre hurdles, an exceptional effort. Matthew James (Summons) won two of his events, Jake Purcell (Derham) won one event, and Oscar Crittenden (Derham) was a consistent performer. After all events were completed, it was the culmination of all students in each House that determined the overall winner on the day. The 2017 Athletics champions went to Schofield. A new event in the Senior School House Sport calendar this year was the Multi-Sport competition, which involved Basketball, 142

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

Badminton, European Handball, Table Tennis, Tennis and Soccer. Most of these were played at school; although, in contrast to the Athletics, the weather wasn’t so kind and rain halted much of the outdoor sports. However, enough of the competition was run to be able to determine the winners of each sport and the overall cup. Schofield took the honours in European Handball and shared the Tennis with Steven, who won the Table Tennis. Robinson won the Soccer, while Derham proved too strong at both Basketball and Badminton. When combining all results, it was Derham, who won the inaugural Multi-Sport competition. After a long hiatus, House Swimming resumed as a stand-alone event and was held in the brand new 50 metre Ngaere Wilson Pool. The pool was separated into two 25 metre pools, and the day was broken into two sessions. The Year 9s and 10s swam in the morning, and the 11s and 12s in the afternoon, and it created an energetic atmosphere in the new facility. Students flourished and there were some impressive individual results recorded. Stalwarts of the sport, Chris Kerdemelidis (Clifford) and James Hardingham (Robinson) continued their years of success. Both students were consistent year level medallists throughout their time in the Senior School. Meanwhile, Connor Xu (Summons), Max Foulds (Derham), Jake Oh (Clifford) and Peter Zhao (Derham) also won gold medals for their respective year levels. Again, results came down to the consistency and, again, it was Schofield who won House Swimming.

The final event for the year was House Cross Country, which was held at Westerfolds Park in Templestowe. The three kilometre course tested the students as they ran along the paths and on grass, as well as up and down hills. The long distance specialists relished the contest and many of the School’s Cross Country runners featured prominently. Richard Dardis (Derham) narrowly pipped last year’s winner Adrian Xu (Clifford), while Thomas Lombardi (Schofield) returned strongly after being unable to compete in 2016 to take out the Year 11 race. Charlie Harper (Robinson) was impressive in his run, while Taran Laurence (Derham) and Tom Bowers (Schofield) ran two of the quickest times of the day. With the top ten runners from each year level from each House contributing to the overall results, winning required a House effort and when all results were tallied, it was Schofield who were crowned victors of the event. Having won three of the four events, Schofield were the deserved winners of the Jarrett Cup for 2017. Congratulations to all members of the House and especially their House Captain, Alastair Haslam, House Prefects and Head of House, Mr Michael Heyes. The Jarrett Cup plays a significant part of the Senior School calendar and a lot of work happens behind the scenes for it to occur. Thank you and congratulations to every student for their participation, organisation and sportsmanship. Each competition could not have occurred without the assistance from each staff member involved. Your support and enthusiasm contributed greatly to the students’ enjoyment and accomplishments.

2017 marked the 51st annual Senior School House Music Competition, in which all boys are given the opportunity to express their musical sides. Unlike previous years, the competition was brought forward to the early weeks of Term 1 to give all House members, particularly Year 9, a chance to truly come together and bond over the mutually enjoyed satisfaction of singing as a choir. Together with group singing, the competition also featured an instrumental performance produced by each House. Each year a special guest is invited to adjudicate the competition. This year, we were privileged to have the famous Mr Douglas Haywood, a renowned choral conductor and director, well-known for Carols by Candlelight to join us to not only critique and score us, but also to share his insights on what it truly means to be part of an ensemble. In the end, there must always be a winner for a competition to befit its definition, despite everyone’s combined effort and enthusiasm. So, deserving of their accomplishment, Steven House eventuated as the victor, a credit to their hard work and drastic improvements. Congratulations to Steven for the victory, but also congratulations to all the Houses whose consistent efforts culminated in an unforgettable and memorable night. Edward Tan Captain of Music

Houses The theme for 2017 House Drama was ‘Fast Films’, meaning the boys had to choose a film that they could cut down to just a 15 minute performance. The standard displayed was extremely high this year, so all Houses are to be commended for putting on such good shows. Schofield used a variety of strong emotionally captivating scenes as well as silhouette lighting to display the story of Frankenstein. Macniel showed the comedic and the energetic side of The Great Gatsby through dance and costume, while Steven used a first person narrator to their advantage in order to succinctly show the audience the story of The Castle in a very true to the original manner. Summons performed all James Bond films in the form of a ‘mashup’, cleverly indicating when a change between films was occurring, while also incorporating some comedy when more than one James Bond was on stage. Bridgland, in pantomime style, used elements of farce and effective lighting design to perform Shrek, while Clifford combined solid in-depth acting

with an unorthodox and unresolved ending to their clever rewriting of Whiplash to leave the audience on a cliff-hanger.

Robinson used a variety of comedic sequences, as well as a clever conceit of two school students working on a short film to perform Titanic. Derham, adapting the plot to the mind of Mr Stocker himself, used lighting, music and set pieces to indicate the different layers of dreams in their version of Inception. The season was a great success with marks from the adjudicators showing no more than hairsbreadths between Houses but with Derham winning overall. This year’s standard was very high, with some great adaptations and some fabulously theatrical moments. Will Woods Year 12

D N A L BRIDG Following on from a successful 2016, Bridgland House was fired up and determined to repeat such glory in 2017, although fortune (in addition to several other factors…) was not on the side of the House, as we fell short of achieving our goal. Nevertheless, the commitment, camaraderie, and positivity displayed throughout the year across all year levels warrant fond memories of all events. The leadership team plunged straight into organising the most prominent event of the year, House Music – and the rest of the House passionately followed as Dylan Spargo, Will Kruyt and Harry Kruyt led the rehearsals. Our instrumental comprised of Dylan Spargo, Christian Chene, Spike Johnson, James Ho and Emile Akbarzadeh. Most of us having tasted victory in this competition, some more than once, we did not rest on our efforts to experience the ecstasy once again. An impromptu lunchtime rehearsal in which everyone spontaneously blasted out The Way You Look Tonight was one of the highlights of the House Music period. Unfortunately, despite our ambitious and fervent challenge for the trophy, we fell slightly short of the mark. Despite the disappointment of House Music, Bridgland did not lose spirit and strode forward to face the first sporting event of the year in the form of House Athletics. Needless to say, we did not experience the turnaround we hoped for. Nonetheless, the heroic efforts of such athletes as Alex Chen, Tristan Cataldo and Matthew McKenna were rightly commended and, once again, the efforts of the House as a whole could not be overlooked, as everyone gave the best their bodies could exert. The success we were looking for finally came with a respectable third place finish in the MultiSport competition, in which we successfully competed in soccer, handball, tennis and basketball to come out with a pleasing result. This unleashed a torrent in the next events of House Debating, Swimming, and Chess, where we placed second, fifth and third respectively. House Debating was always expected to be a strong point for the House and we delivered with three grand final wins out of a possible four (and I, a pertinent example of the humbleness in defeat of Bridgland House, will refrain from questioning how it is we came second despite 146

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

this). We had brilliant contributions from Michael Tan, Christian Chene, James Saligari, Jack Phillips, Jeremy Yi, Tim Ng, Spike Johnson, Jack Amling and Loc Duong – all these students worked incredibly well together and individually to produce our result. Swimming – the event that every student can’t wait to arrive – was this year given its own standalone status, meaning no-one missed out on the fun. While the skill and effort displayed by all in the House in general were outstanding in this competition. What struck more of a chord with me (as the House Captain) was to see so many volunteering to substitute for others, despite being exhausted, with not a single complaint or hesitation from anyone called upon. It was after this competition that I truly came to understand how deep-rooted the commitment is in the Bridgland boys, and how such valour proves more important to the House than a first place finish. That is not to say, however, that we did not pursue as high a finish as possible for House Chess and Cross Country, with the likes of Ryan Albert and Michael Tan shining through in their efforts, while the whole House lifted for the last full House event of the year and the Year 12s final, melancholic House event. Also in Term 3 was Bridgland’s Beyond Blue Basketball Tournament, an initiative orchestrated by Jack Amling that saw three weeks of passionate cheering and general enthusiasm around the competition, which culminated in a thrilling grand final, raising significant funds to support the Beyond Blue cause. 2017 did not spell out the same glorious success as the previous year for Bridgland, however, the spirit and collective unity of the House could not have possibly been stronger, and I feel intensely honoured and humbled to have been trusted to lead this house. With the brilliant, undeniable leadership potential of the Year 12s of 2018, and the profound spirit and initiative of the House as a whole that has been displayed this year, I am certain that next year will present Bridgland with competitive success, student initiative, and definitely a continuation of that distinct Bridgland cohesion and unity.

D R O F CLIF Houses

This year marked the start of a new era for Clifford as we said farewell to Clifford legend, Mr Williams, and welcomed our new Head of House, Mr Ruffles. We began the year in style with Adrian Xu and Aaron Campbell taking charge of House Music, leading us to a top four finish. After years of finishing at the bottom, this was an amazing achievement and we look to continue our rise in the coming years. In the track and field, the Cliffordians showed their House pride as Alek Harper, Rohan Chitale and Beau Frawley dressed up in their orange clothes and paint, and everyone gave 100% for Clifford. Adrian Xu, Luke Ireland and Jeff Lu led the way on the track, whilst Beau Frawley, Rohan Chitale, Alek Harper and Tim Bilston led the way on the field as Clifford took home 3rd place. The Year 11 Clifford team was able to top their year level in emphatic fashion, and will hopefully repeat this effort next year. Next came the first ever Multi-Sport competition where the soccer and handball competitors played through the rain, whilst the other Houses were running for shelter. The basketballers and table tennis players continued their form from last year, hitting threes and smacking backhand winners. House Debating was next and our prodigies, led by Vignesh Alagappan, showed off their extensive vocabulary, claiming yet another top four finish for the mighty Clifford. By far the highlight of the year, however, was the first ever Orange Day, a charity casual clothes day where everyone was encouraged to dress up in something orange. After hearing that our beloved Mr Williams had unfortunately been diagnosed with bowel cancer, the second biggest killer behind lung cancer, I decided to organise this event.Thanks to the Clifford Year 12s who all helped out. It was a huge success as we saw almost the whole school dressed up in orange and buying snags and drinks. The funds raised were sent off to Bowel Cancer Australia. I would also like to say that while most of us enjoy good health and do not have too many concerns in this area, it is important that we are aware of our families’ medical history and that we are all proactive in seeing a doctor and having tests as we get older. Twenty-five per cent of of all bowel cancer diagnosis are where there is a family history or hereditary contribution, and it is one form of cancer where an early diagnosis means it is highly likely to be treated successfully. I would like to thank all the House Prefects for making my job a lot easier this year and wish all of Clifford the best of luck for the future. Up the Orange!

M A H R DE Houses

2017 proved to be an extremely successful year for Derham, with numerous victories in both cultural and sporting competitions. With a change in format, the year opened with the House Music for the first time. The new Year 9 boys joined the more seasoned boys in the common pursuit of a presentable harmony. With solid performances in both songs, a respectable third place was obtained on the night. Next came debating, and the results were even more impressive. Spearheaded by the ever strong Year 12 team, the younger year levels followed suit and with win after win, the Debating shield was once again ours. With a spread of talent across all year levels, the boys in red took eagerly to the athletics track to prove their sporting prowess as well. With too many stand out performances to mention, and a constant streak of red crossing the finishing line first, Derham was able to obtain the athletics shield once again. Fuelled by their previous run of form, the inaugural Multi-Sport event, went a similar way. Whilst the outdoor activities were effected by the rain, it was the indoor ones, of basketball, badminton and table tennis that sealed the deal for our third title of the year. The introduction of a swimming carnival, forced the House to dig deep to fill events which extended from A to H events, and dig deep they did. Almost the entire House entered the pool and performed admirably. Whilst there were no aspirations of winning, obtaining the silver medal was a phenomenal effort. The Derham steam roller pushed onto chess and cross country. Despite some extremely impressive individual performances, a lack of depth resulted in the House obtaining a respectable fifth position in both events. Finally, as the year drew to a close, a large contingent of actors and technical assistants competed in House Drama. Under the leadership of Cyrus Chan (House Captain of 2018) and David Tan, the boys rehearsed and performed a magnificent interpretation of Inception, to claim first position. However, Derham’s diversity was not only proved on the sporting field and on the stage. The House also conducted two extremely successful charity fundraisers. The first was Cup Cake Day to support the RSCPA and then a silent auction on the school’s Open Day to support Breast Cancer Network Australia, with significant sums of money raised from both events. Finally, another first place, this time in the Dickinson Shield for academic performance,

highlighted just how multi-faceted the House truly is. This year has been an extraordinary one. Many thanks to the House as a whole, as well as the House Prefects who maintained their energy and workloads throughout the year to help Derham succeed. Thank you to the House Tutors for the guidance and encouragement that they provide to all the boys. Most of all, I would like to thank Mr Christopher, whose tireless efforts have contributed to the significant successes that we have had this year.

L I E N C MA While not attaining the results we may have desired at the beginning of the year, the hearty participation and determination of our House in all events — cultural and sporting, was definitely a stand out against all of the other Houses in Senior School. Much to the disappointment of James Frampton, William de la Rue and Savas Marcou, who tirelessly prepared for the House Music competition, the House unfortunately finished second last in the first event of the year. Notwithstanding this, we thoroughly enjoyed preparing for House singing. The leadership group, the instrumentalist and the conductors all worked together to co-ordinate the House’s submissions. By the time the big night arrived we thought we had a winner. Our renditions of Beyond the Sea and Seasons of Love, although met with great applause, did not satisfy the judges. The athleticism of the boys at the Bill Sewart Athletics track was promising and a true representation of the House’s grit, as it served as a confidence boost in the House competition. Although placing sixth, our gradual movement up the leader-board was in no small part due to the courageous efforts of Will Binnie-Peart and Brandon Chew, who

152

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

each competed tenaciously in four events. Within the same month, the outdoor events of Handball, Soccer and Tennis were conducted. Unfortunately, this Multi-Sport competition was cut short due to the rain; however, this did not prevent the superlative efforts of Jerry Cheng on the basketball court, Samuel Qi playing Badminton, and Ethan Tang in table tennis from enabling Macneil to achieve a place in the top four. There were noteworthy achievements in House Debating. The Year 11 and 12 team, led by Oscar Bella, did well throughout the competition, but unfortunately lost the final by a whisker. The Year 9/10 team also made it to the playoffs, due to the strength of speakers, such as James Gunasegaram and Lachlan Doig. The swimming competition that followed, concluding the second term, demonstrated the high participation rate and significant effort of the House—especially from Darren Liang, Sebastian Baker and Corey McCabe, who were more than happy to step forward and help out.

With only two events in Term 3, our performance and third-placing in Cross Country surpassed our unfortunate bottom four position in the chess competition. Looking to the future, although the Cross Country result was to the credit of the whole House, Nicholas Clark and Dimitri Topatsis’ placings in the top ten will help to ensure success in the coming years. Although we were not as successful as we would have hoped for, I would like to congratulate all members of the House on an enjoyable and memorable year. What we lacked for in trophies, was compensated for by an infectious team spirit and strong camaraderie. I am sure that the trend of improvement will continue given the hard work and positive outlook shown by all, especially our House teacher Mr Green. It has been a privilege to be House Captain, and I hope forthcoming years are as smooth and just as exciting as 2017. Paul Topatsis Captain of Macneil

N O S N I ROB Culturally capable, athletically accomplished, rabidly revolutionary - these phrases describe Robinson in 2017. In a historic victory we won the Prefects Cup, whilst maintaining yet another top three Jarrett Cup placing. As Robinson’s weakest competition in recent years, House Music provided an immediate challenge. Ignoring our five-year record, Oliver Anderson and Henry Wu boldly stepped up to lead the charge. In a revolutionary upheaval of previous efforts, the House performed Orange Coloured Sky and The Wanderer. Sung with might and gusto, we shattered expectations, placing first and second. Our effort can only be described as Herculean, and I thank the boys for their dedication, which achieved such an unprecedented, outstanding result! Lacking our athletic class of 2016, Robinson still put in a valiant effort in House Athletics. Ranging from Bailey Stanley’s shot put victory, to Josh Soo’s 100 metre sprint, to the athletic Daniel Jiang and Kevin Luo winning any event with the word “jump”, the day was full of impressive highlights. Torrential rain in the Multi-Sport competition couldn’t halt the mighty Green, as Robinson placed first in the soccer, thanks to First XI tier players Henry MacDonald, Joseph Lai and Xander Simpson. Nick Gooden controlled the handball, and efforts in particular from Nathan Shi in table tennis, and the Sebastian Yeo/Suva Pokharel combo in badminton resulted in second placings in all of these sports. Looking to build on our cultural success, a record of 20 boys flocked to participate in House Debating, led by Dhruv Deshpande. It was pleasing to come third overall, but 154

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

watching some Year 9 boys - Patrick Canny, Rhys Denison, Ronan Dicker, Seb Montemurro - courageously step up and “give debating a go”, was even better. House Chess was also a highlight, with the likes of Oliver Papillo, Henry Smith and Thomas Lee securing maximum points for a first place finish. Our “amphibious tank”, James Hardingham, capably led the way in House Swimming, supported at Year 9 by Jasper Fodor. Both were awarded individual honours for their efforts. Cross Country rounded off the Jarrett Cup, with the perpetually solid Charlie Harper and Peter Thorn both achieving podium finishes. These efforts, combined with those who shaved minutes off their times, such as Jack Sturzaker and Aidan MacLennan, saw us claim second place, a reminder that the sporting dominance of our recent years is not yet over. Although strongly positioned, the Prefects Cup was not guaranteed. A brilliant House Drama play directed by Travis Barton and Cian MacLennan, with James Thorn awarded the best actor, secured something we last won many years ago - the Prefects Cup for Arts. Away from the competitions, the House ran the traditional staff versus student soccer match, raising $400 for Kids Under Cover. Such a successful year must be attributed to the dedication of the House Prefects, particularly Vice Captain Finn McGrath, the House Tutors, and the boys, many of whom I can’t name due to the word limit, and especially to Mr Rayner, our evergreen Housemaster, who makes it all happen. Up the Green! Josh Cooper Captain of Robinson

D L E I F SCHO We have had a welcome change in the 2017 Schofield cohort. It is no secret that our reputation regarding school competition has often left much to be desired. That is why this year has been so great – while the effort and camaraderie has not been abandoned, we haven’t seen a string of success like this for a long time. Every year, we say goodbye to our former Year 12s; but in their place, a new leadership group emerges. Likewise, they are joined by the addition of the Year 9 newcomers to the Senior School. The introduction camp at Kangaroobie proved that they had the determination to co-operative mentality, that it would take to bring Schofield to new heights. This was just as well, for House Music loomed at the very beginning of first term. Schofield would rather not be reminded of past events like these, but when you’ve finished eighth so many times it motivates you to put an end to it! Co-ordinated by the superb efforts of Oliver Wong and Sean Halley, the House managed to produce grand renditions of Frank Sinatra’s My Way and Lorenz Hart’s Manhattan. After an instrumental performance of Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day – including that infamous triangle to top everything off – Schofield found itself in fifth place. If the cheers were anything to go by, anything over another eighth would have been enough. Early in the year, Schofield also exercised notable sporting ability. Track and field athletes had their chance to prove themselves at the House Athletics competition. Over much of the afternoon, Schofield was in with a serious shot at taking the overall win – but the competition was fierce. Despite a truly impressive lap in the lead by Nick Wardlaw, the House came in a close second. In the Multi-Sport competition, we likewise found success in handball, but it was unfortunate that the soccer team was withheld from realising its obvious potential by the weather.

156

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

While swimming may not be everyone’s favourite activity, it was certainly admirable to see so many students volunteer to compete in several events. In the new pool, the Schofield team proved to be particularly fast, with several wins and many podiums, helping to acquire a lead in the points. With the squad racing at a consistently high level, organisation and support from those out of the water was just as important – and our House group was among the loudest! As the relay events were completed, it became apparent that we had the swimming carnival in the bag. Nearing the end of the year, our House stood in serious contention for overall sporting victory, with Cross Country marking an end of the schedule. In the wake of last year’s second place, and a win in 2015, the boys remained confident that the top spot was well

within reach. With star performances from Tom Lombardi in Year 11 and Tom Bowers in Year 9, the Schofield team managed consistently high finishes in all races to claim the trophy. After 22 years, the Jarrett Cup was ours once again. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who made 2017 so fantastic – and in Schofield, I really mean everyone. There is a unique team spirit among the students and teachers in our House, and in my time in Senior School it has never faltered. Congratulations are in order for Mr Heyes and the House Tutors, as without their dedication and organisation we wouldn’t have come nearly this far. To the House Prefects, you are an awesome group – thank you for your work this year, and good luck in the next. To the rest of the boys, just keep doing what you’ve been doing. Now we know it is a winning formula. Al Haslam Captain of Schofield

Houses

N E V E ST A tremendous effort in all House events was the hallmark of Steven this year. Whilst not always coming out on top, Steven House demonstrated vigour, sportsmanship and commitment in all aspects of the school year. Thank you for making each event run so smoothly, supporting one another and achieving numerous personal bests. We began this year very strongly and with a podium finish in House Music, where we adjusted to the Term 1 time slot, and came first, according to the judge and universal acclamation. The leadership of Ben Yep and Emre Cakmakcioglu were inspiring, effective and fun. Plus, who will forget Daniel Rappel’s powerful vocals on a Friday afternoon? There is no greater test of commitment and teamwork on the House calendar and we prevailed. it is truly a test of mental strength and perseverance. The journey from the first draft, to singing out our lungs on performance night. Nevertheless, the journey is always more important than finishing first, which is why the boys should be commended for their efforts in Athletics. Historically not one of our strongest events, Dilina DeSilva took everyone’s breath away with his speed in the sprints and 4oo metre events, resulting in PBs and a gold medal. As always, however, it is the preparedness to compete that makes the difference on the day and thank you to all who stepped up, meaning we achieved our primary goal of having a competitor in every event. With the arrival of the swimming carnival, I could see the boys’ undeniable enthusiasm as we utilised our new pool. It was encouraging to see the majority of the boys embrace the challenge. Regardless, every swim had a Steven boy trying their best to strive towards the best possible placing they could manage. The most impressive aspect of the day was the boys who proactively took on events that had 158

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

been opened up due to sickness and injuries. Although we came last, it was pleasing to see our spirits were not drowned. Chess was the House’s hidden talent. Steven House gave it their all in checkmating our opponents. Once again, we dominated throughout the day, just falling shy off the number one position, coming an outstanding second. Cross Country was another interesting event. The usual suspects put up strong performances, and it was impressive that we managed to pull out many personal bests. To the ones who were lucky enough to wear royal blue, you should be congratulated for the effort you’ve put into the House. All boys were always happy, even if a little encouragement was needed, to step up and take on tasks, even though your schedules were jam-packed this year. If this is your final year, thank you and good luck. To those of you returning, it is a great House and it is your responsibility to ensure it remains so – enjoy! Benjamin Yep Captain of Steven

S N O M SUM Houses

What an eventful year it was for the mightiest House of them all. In 2017, we welcomed back Mr. Warne, who returned from long service leave, and welcomed a new group of Year 9s to add to our great foundation of students. The year started with a change, as we began preparing for House Music. Thanks to the many laborious rehearsals conducted by the Captain of Music, Edward Tan, and Justin Shao, accompanied by our pianists Andrew Zeng and James Zhu, we were able to deliver amazing renditions of Haven’t Met You Yet, Royals and our instrumental item, Main Theme from Ratatouille. Overall, a fantastic effort from everyone. Despite not quite achieving the resounding success of previous years, we placed second in our instrumental. Soon after House Music, we held the annual Summons House Gelati Day, with the help of Year 11s. Thanks to everyone’s efforts and the students’ love for gelati, we were able to raise over $1,000 for the Peter MacCallum, a notable charity, which supports vital cancer research. In Term 2, Athletics came and we saw many impressive performances. Overall, Summons achieved a respectable fifth place, and Alex Wilson-Brown and David McColl won the Gold and Silver medals respectively for their year level. In Term 3, House Swimming came and Summons took home equal third place. Whilst there were many personal achievements and many people stepping up, we placed first out of the Year 11s and also had two gold medallists: Dylan Lay and Connor Xu. Even though this year hasn’t been as successful as our past few years, we saw far more participation in non-compulsory House events such as House Debating, House Chess and House Drama, than in previous years. It is great to see such enthusiasm and initiative in these optional activities, which tells us much about our great House. Thanks to my Vice Captain, Shaun Wong, and my fellow House Prefects. And of course, thanks to Ms. Norris and our Tutors. Their encouragement and help throughout the year was outstanding. It has been a pleasure working with such an exceptional team of teachers who have made this year much more enjoyable for the House and much easier for me. Special congratulations must go to Harrison McEwen (House Captain), Jack Fitzgerald (School Captain) and David McColl (Captain of Games) for their School Prefect appointments for 2018. I have no doubt that the future of Summons is in great hands. Matthew James Captain of Summons 160

E L D MID OL SCHOPS CAM

Year 6 Camp Manyung Year 6 Camp was really fun. The cabins were luxurious and spacious with individual bathrooms, and the food was delicious. During the day, we did a variety of activities including archery, crate-stacking, treetop climbing, bike riding and flying fox. At night, we also had activities. On Tuesday, we had a lesson from the Frankston Astronomy Society where we looked at the stars and watched a slideshow presented by one of the members. On Wednesday, a Wildlife Action representative came and talked about different animals he had brought. One of the animals was a koala which was really fluffy. We couldn’t hold it because we didn’t have a license to but we were able to pat it. On Thursday night, we watched the movie G-force, which is a movie about spy guinea pigs. I thought Year 6 Camp was the best school camp that I have been on and I hope that there are many more good camps to come. James Kerferd Year 6 On a cold winter’s morning, 50 boys from Year 6 were whisked away from school to go to Camp Manyung via bus. Being the energetic boys they are, there was never silence in the bus. After an hour or two, the boys and their teacher jumped out of the bus in excitement due to the three days of fun ahead of us.

After a long day of unpacking, we follow a group of boys to the flying fox where they get hooked up on a wire and enjoy an extremely fast 110-metre ride. The instructor explained how to put on a harness so the boys wouldn’t fall off. Even though it looked terrifying from the ground. In the end, all the boys managed to muster the guts to ride the flying fox. The next day, we follow the same group of boys to the Tree Top Challenge. The Tree Top Challenge can be done by anyone no matter their age or ability. The boys were then harnessed, just in case, and were on their way. The second time they attempted the challenge, they were in groups of two, one person was blindfolded and the other person had to guide them. Looking at the enthusiasm on the boys’ faces, I know that they all had a great time! Eamon Luu Year 6

Year 7 Camp Lord Somers Camp Lord Somers Camp was a blast. We did so many fun activities and some of them were even on the beach. The best part was that we got to do it all with our new friends. We travelled to another area to camp in tents for one day and we ate homemade couscous. We played hide and seek and canoed back to our campsite. After that, we got to make our shirts. We all got to make a design and then the class voted on what design looked the coolest and after that we chose a colour and printed them. It was really cool seeing a white shirt transform into our own design. The next day we tried to do stand-up paddle boarding. After everyone got the hang of it, we were allowed to go out even further. We got to snorkel and see so many cool fish. After that, we played some really fun beach games and then had dinner. In our free time, we got to choose from playing UNO, basketball, soccer, cricket, beach games or just hang around with friends. The following day, our drama teacher came and we all played fun games that included everyone to act out different parts. At night, we ate dinner and we all got in our sleeping bags and watched a movie. The movie was really funny and entertaining. We also got to do a course where we completed sets of challenges out in the bushes. One challenge involved trying to solve a big puzzle, and another one of my favourites involved pushing a massive ball to the other side with the whole class. On the last day, we got to play a beach game called Fox Holes where we all dug up our holes and when the time was up we hid in them as best as we could, hoping that the spotter didn’t find us. Overall Lord Somers was an amazing first high school camp for me. The food, entertainment, and most of all the fun we had, was something to remember. Pavara Jayawardena Year 7

middle School camps Year 8 Kangaroobie Camp

camps and tours

In the penultimate week of the school, Year 8 students set out for the Great Otway National Park, Otway Forest Park and Kangaroobie for a week-long camp. Situated at the end of the year, the camp facilitates students’ transition from Middle School to Senior School. Camp groups are arranged according to House allocation rather than class, and students have the opportunity to get to know their tutors and Senior School Heads of House. Year 8 Camp also provides opportunities for students to develop their outdoor skills, experience life on a working farm and undertake a three-day journey in the bush. This year, four House groups hiked along the Great Ocean Walk in the Great Otway National Park and four House groups hiked along trails in the Otway Forest Park. Whilst hiking, students and staff carried all their equipment and prepared all their own meals. At times during the hike, many students found themselves extended beyond their comfort zone and longing for a hot shower, but all students are to be commended for the way they managed themselves and supported each other throughout the camp.

middle School camps An early Thursday morning brought excitement to the Year 8 students, as they were keen to jump into their two-day adventure; itching for their quest beyond the classroom. The bus trip was long, but time slipped from our minds as we started to play games, sing songs and entertain ourselves and each other throughout the journey. Finally, we arrived at Torquay beach and relieved our desire to run around, by playing football along the sand and games among ourselves. Once our instructors from Go Ride a Wave appeared, we swiftly got changed into our wetsuits and listened carefully to our instructors. The water was chilly, but the sensation of riding a wave made us forget about the frigid conditions. It was difficult for those first-timers and learners, but slowly, with the help from the instructors, we became better, and began to challenge ourselves with the bigger waves. It was a wonderful experience.

After dinner, some of us chose to stroll along the beach and take in the beautiful views and sights. It was late when we got back to the club, but sleeping wasn’t our first priority, as we began to tell each other tales and stories until we were forced into our sleeping bags. The next morning, we packed our belongings and hopped onto the bus once again to drive to Anglesea. When we arrived at Anglesea Beach, we were greeted by enthusiastic instructors for our surf lifesaving program. The program was composed of activities which were interesting and enjoyable, but also tested our abilities, challenged us, and helped us develop teamwork and problem-solving skills.

From Torquay, we drove to Jan Juc Surf Lifesaving Club, where we stayed the night. When dinner came around some of us were making hamburgers and manning the barbeque preparing the sausages, while the others waited eagerly, and hungrily for their meal.

camps and tours

At the conclusion of the school year, a group of Year 8 students made their way to Tasmania to undertake a multi-day hike in the Tasman National Park. Arriving with equipment and food they would need for five days in remote bushland, the group set out from Fortescue. Through scrubby bushland, the group climbed up a narrow hiking trail that seemed to go on forever. However, eventually the trees and scrub gave way to open grasslands and magnificent views of mountains and sea cliffs. By late afternoon the group had reached their campsite for the night, a protected spot complete with sleeping platforms. Pleased with their progress on day one, the group were glad to set their packs down and pitch their tents. As the week progressed, the group developed its own routines, mastered the art of pitching tents quickly and got innovative with the food rations. At times, hikers were challenged physically or mentally but they rose to challenges admirably. Extended journeys in remote bush, such as the Tasmanian Trek, provide unique and invaluable learning experiences for all those involved. It is not often that we have the opportunity to live so simply, removed from the comforts of modern life. All those who participated in the hike should be proud of their achievements and the way they supported each other throughout the trip. Ms Kirsty McDougall Director of Co-Curricular Activities

SENIOR SCHOOL CAMPS

Year 9 Camp Program The Year 9 Camp Program presented students with a diverse range of experiences again this year. Seven camps were offered and groups journeyed through a range of different environments around Australia. The diversity of camp options enabled students to select a camp that both interested and suited them. With so many options, group sizes rarely extended beyond 25. The smaller group sizes not only facilitated a greater connection between students, staff and activity leaders but, also allowed groups to journey through areas of wilderness that are not accessible to larger groups. Groups trekked on camels through the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, sea kayaked around North and South Stradbroke Island in Queensland, sailed maxi yachts around the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, explored the extensive network of caves at Wee Jasper in Southern New South Wales, tried a range of outdoor activities on the Multi-Activity Camp in the Brisbane Ranges National Park, rock climbed at Mount Arapiles and engaged in community service activities with the Brotherhood of St Laurence in Fitzroy. Each camp challenged students to move beyond their comfort zone and to learn about their own ability to cope in challenging and unfamiliar situations.

The end of 2016 saw the arrival of the highly anticipated USA Basketball Tour. An incredibly keen group of Camberwell Grammar basketball players headed to the West Coast of the United States, away from the heat, to embark on what is arguably the best tour any school has to offer. The group consisted of 30 boys from Years 10 and 11, accompanied by teachers Mr Tim Cross, Mr Jamie Watson, Ms Katrina Massey, Mr Hamish Meachem and First V Coach Mr Steve Blackley and his family. After 14 hours of pins and needles and a drag at customs, we were greeted with the chill of San Francisco. Our first taste of U.S basketball was at the University of California Berkeley, where the atmosphere in video games became a reality with incredible-sized crowds, a band, a dance team and announcers. We saw California’s heavily structured style of play come out on top, with exciting NBA prospect Ivan Rabb flourishing at both ends of the floor. This was followed by our first NBA game at the Oracle Arena, where we got to experience an extraordinary courtside warm-up session and almost got within reaching distance of stars Devin Booker, Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala. San Francisco provided the magnificent landmarks of Alcatraz, Golden Gate and Union Square, as well as incredible shopping venues and one of a kind clam chowders.

Inspired by Klay Thompson’s 60-point showing at our second NBA game, we headed north to Medford to play our first match against Cascade in our respective Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman teams. To our surprise, American high schools also had announcers and cheerleaders like the University of California, Berkeley. We played another two games against St Mary’s and Elmira, coming out with a total of seven wins from nine matches. A personal highlight was enjoying time after the game to chat and socialise with the students and get an understanding of what it’s like to be a student in the U.S. Stop three, Eugene, presented us with the famous University of Oregon, where we got to tour the facilities with a couple of Aussie students and athletes. Phil Knight, the man who started Nike, began his ventures at the ‘Big O’ and the boys couldn’t get enough of his story. We sat courtside for the womens’ college match and had time to chat and take photos with the players following their outstanding win.

Then came a personal training session at Shoot 360 where the players worked on ball handling, shooting and game situations with an incredible group of trainers. This training paid off instantly as all three teams had wins against Clatskanie High, the big highlight being Richard Wotherspoon draining a clutch three to seal one for the Freshies. Our third and final NBA game was at the Moda Center, Portland vs OKC. Unfortunately, the likes of Russell Westbrook didn’t put on a show but Ms Massey and Mr Watson got on the big screen for a Bowflex competition, with Mr Watson pulling off a show of his own, dabbing in front of thousands in victorious celebration, representing Australia and the school with flair and poise.

the glamour of the city. The fellas got to relax a bit here and explore the area and see some good flicks, solely for spamming social media feeds. In the matches, Josh Norris dropped a fading shot from deep to cap off another win for the JV boys as the Varsity team picked up the first loss of the tour against the Northwest School. That loss was soon forgotten the day after with a resounding three wins against Cedar Park, with Aden Stitz notching 42 points on the board with nine treys in a row, over 85% from behind the arc. A quick flight back down to LA meant the most hectic time of the tour — triple theme park time. We visited Six Flags, Knotts Berry and Disneyland and rode our lungs out as Mr Cross watched on with despair, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and filled up with a mean feast at TGI Friday’s (ridiculously good) to finish. Charged up, we ended our competitions at Yorba Linda, a 5A ranked school, who overcame all three of our teams despite solid performances from Ayce, Vinay

and Matt in their respective teams. Again, we had food with the guys afterwards and enjoyed a throwing competition against the teachers with our prestigious CGS bouncy balls spiralling out of the trembling hands of Crossy, Watto and Hammer. We ended the tour with a final taste of the majestic Panda Express, before reluctantly hopping on the plane to come home. Big thanks to the staff, parents, Gullivers Travel company, and our impeccable driver Nikolai for making this happen. Head to the Camberwell Grammar Sport Facebook page to see game footage, photos and mildly insightful, but entertaining, interviews by Mr Meachem during our tour. This basketball tour has provided myself and the boys some truly unforgettable experiences, I highly recommend this tour and encourage you to put your name down for this awesome experience. Just. Do. It. Cyrus Chan Year 11

Singapore Soccer Tour After over a year of waiting and planning, Sunday 2 April came around at last for 16 lucky boys, and two Camberwell Grammar teachers. This date marked the beginning of a marvellous adventure to Singapore. The midnight flight saved us all some time to sleep in and after consoling our parents and saying our goodbyes, we departed Melbourne. After eight-hours in the sky, we touched down to a Singaporean thunderstorm, which would eerily foreshadow the intensity of the matches we would face. A lack of sleep and food did not sit well with the group, especially considering the hour-long training session in the rain! We quickly became acquainted with the accommodation – the International Hostel at ITE College East, complete with a swimming pool, gym, futsal courts, soccer fields and even a rock climbing wall. Day two was certainly not the quiet rest day many wanted, but far surpassed what sleep we would have gotten as we took the Sentosa monorail to Universal Studios Singapore. Corn dogs, supersized drinks and copious amounts of slushies could have confused us as to whether we were in the USA, but alas, the hot muggy climate confirmed it was not. We also took a tour of a six-star hotel, the Marina Bay Sands, as well as the amazing Sky Deck where we got to see the homeland of Dr Khor, Malaysia. We also visited Gardens by the Bay, a man-made botanical garden experience to get us all in touch with our floral side. Our first game came against Geylang FC Under 17s, which had been marketed toward

us as a ‘baptism of fire’; however, the brilliance of Xander Simpson highlighted that Geylang was no match for our boys, with Xander scoring a hat-trick within ten minutes. The final score ended up 6-3 to CGS. A day of shopping followed, and our first opportunity to rest and relax, and of course satisfy our wildest shopping desires as we hit the famed Orchard Road. Game two against the European Soccer Academy demonstrated our dominance, despite what can only be described as a lackluster performance, we still pulled away with a 4-0 win, thanks to a Jeremy Gassin and Nathan Martin brace. Game three was by far our toughest and most emotional game as it saw Camberwell Grammar take on our host – ITE East. Having already faced some of the players in a friendly game of futsal just a few days earlier, we knew that this game would prove tough and take guts to come out on top. A standout performance from Tom Masanauskas between the sticks saw the hosts only gain two goals, whilst Camberwell Grammar managed to get two of our own, leaving the game 2-2. A fair result, all things considered. Aside from playing soccer, we had time to reflect on the history of Singapore, including a trip to the Changi Museum War Memorial, where we took the opportunity to pay our respects to not only the locals, but also the Australians who fought in the Second World War.

Game four, against Anderson Secondary School saw the boys manage to hold off wave after wave of pressure to win 3-1. It was especially difficult given the size of Anderson’s squad; 25 pairs of legs which had been acclimatised, and regularly interchanging. The small size of the pitch did the visiting side no favours either, restricting our hard-running game. Squad size proved irrelevant however, with Lachlan Doig scoring a thunderous strike from outside the box to seal the victory for CGS. The fifth and final game was against Bedok Secondary College and would prove to be a fantastic way to cap off a tour. The game started off with the race for the golden boot being extremely tight between Xander, Nathan and Jeremy, with only a goal separating them. The game began well with great pressure forcing an own goal, followed up by a much-deserved goal from Chris Han, who had been the major supplier for most of the trip. The game concluded almost the way the tour had started, with Xander scoring on the final touch of the game to make it 5-2, but alas, Nathan had just pulled away to win the award for most goals. It was an amazing tour. A massive thanks to AF Global Tours and more specifically, Dino for his tireless work to organise the trip. We cannot forget Mr Catanzariti, the master tactician, and Dr Khor, the cultural expert. Thank you for putting up with us!

camps and tours The French Cultural Tour was unbelievable. I couldn’t imagine a place with such good food and amazing culture, and France had exactly these qualities. The views from the Eiffel Tower were spectacular, and waking up at 6.30am to catch the sunrise was certainly worth it. All in all, I certainly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys their French or simply wants to see an amazing country. You won’t be disappointed. Niko Verrios Year 10

French Cultural Tour Eighteen months of planning, 21 CGS students and four accompanying staff; the French Cultural Tour is a regular part of the school calendar. Every two years, the students have an opportunity to experience another culture, one that most of them have only read about and studied in class. What do they think of the experience? How does it affect them, and does it broaden their horizons? This is what they think:

The French Cultural Tour was one of the most enjoyable times the School has offered to me. I enjoyed almost every museum and historical monument that we went to. There were a few I have to mention, such as the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles and the Cathedral of Rouen, which astonished me with its intricate architecture that was lucky to have survived over the centuries. The Musée de l’Orangerie was one of my favourite museums due to its wonderful selection of impressionist masterpieces. Throughout this tour I also got to taste the fineness of the French cuisine, which honestly amazed me with its quality. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in art or French culture. Nathan Zhao Year 10 The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

senior School camps I absolutely loved the French Cultural Tour. The city was amazing and extremely different to Melbourne. The food was great (although the snails weren’t the best) and the attractions were amazing to see. Actually being in the Eiffel Tower was extremely cool, and being able to speak French regularly was interesting but sometimes challenging. I would highly recommend the trip and I had a great time.

Samuel Nania Year 10 The French Cultural Tour was great. I really enjoyed the food and many different aspects of French culture. My favourite parts of the tour were Monet’s Garden and Chambord. I would have liked more time in the Louvre. Lachlan McClure Year 10 The French Cultural Tour was one of the best overseas trips I’ve ever had. I loved learning about French history, culture and speaking French. The teachers on the tour were fun and always helpful, making segments of the tour very interesting. I also loved the sense of freedom we had after the daily activities. The food was amazing as well! Harrison Pham Year 10

The French Cultural Tour was really fun and I really enjoyed the activities planned for us each day. The museums and art galleries were nice, but for me, the day we went up the Eiffel Tower was the best part of the tour. Buying food and having to ask for it in French was always a bit of a struggle, but in the end it was a great experience and I would really like to do it again. Joseph Lai Year 10 The French Cultural Tour was the first time our son has travelled to another country and what better way to do this than with the combined knowledge, experience and conviction for the cause that the French teachers have. I could tell from our phone conversations, just how enamoured he was with his daily experiences, and how it has opened up a whole new world for him. My thanks again to the teachers for giving them such a wonderful experience, and for bringing them all home safely! Parent Mr Ken Da Costa French Teacher

SPORT

Sport is an integral part of Camberwell Grammar School life and with 28 sports on offer across three seasons, winter, summer and spring, the students have a wide variety to choose from. It is this philosophy that allows students to foster a unique relationship with a sport of their choice that they can continue enjoying it well after they leave the School. Real Tennis is the newest sport to the program and had over 20 students participate in its first season during winter. Overall, within our 28-sport program, Camberwell finished with three premierships and ten top four finishes. Students also enjoyed the first year of their world class facilities: a 50 metre pool, two indoor basketball courts, revamped ovals (Keith Anderson and Jack Tobias), table tennis/fencing area as well as a fully equipped gymnasium.

Orienteering and Lawn Bowls are two summer sports that allow students to experience sport outside of the regular AGSV competitions and schools. This season the Orienteering squad finished second to Scotch while the Lawn Bowls team finished third in the annual Bob Poulton Schools Cup and Runners Up in the newly formed Victorian All Schools Competition.

The First Badminton squad was the stand out team of the season, winning its 17th Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria (AGSV) premiership and also winning the Victorian State Schools competition to become the best badminton school in the state. Led by Felix Wang and junior state representatives Otto Zhao and Benjamin Chen, the team was hard to beat. The squad also defeated Scotch in the annual pre-season match played on our brand new courts.

Kayaking has had a resurgence of late with close to 40 students in the current squad. The Murray River Marathon has been replaced by the Bendigo Cup while the Cobram 40 Miler is also still an integral part of the program. The squad finished second to Trinity this season after the culmination of both long and sprint distance races.

Table Tennis won their 16th AGSV premiership on home soil due to Camberwell Grammar now hosting the AGSV table tennis competition, previously held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC). The team has great depth and, with Michael Tan at the helm, they are sure to push the competition yet again next season.

The AGSV Futsal competition has been running for several years now between arch rivals Camberwell and Trinity Grammar. Up until now the competition has been played at Trinity, but this year the competition moved to Camberwell’s new state-of-the-art facilities. This spurred the team to new heights, winning their third premiership in a row. Fencing enjoyed the new training facility on campus. The squad boasts over 40 students with competition fierce at both the open and junior levels. Darcy MacCuspie, Ming Kim Low and Anderson Sulewski were the stand-out performers during the season.

The Triathlon squad is one of the fittest and most committed squads in the program. In recent years, they have been able to attract over 20 students to the five-race competition. This year was no different and, with races over the holiday period, the team finished in second place. The First XI Hockey team finished third for the second year in a row. They also finished fourth in the annual Melbourne Grammar School pre-season tournament. The 7A and 8A teams were undefeated for the season and show promise and hope for the years to come. Soccer is the biggest sport within the School with over 400 students in the program. The Firsts finished sixth with long-time coach Joe Montemurro finishing his reign by taking up an opportunity in England as Arsenal’s new women’s coach. Tennis has seen a resurgence in numbers of late and the Firsts Tennis made the semi-finals for the first time in a few years. They weren’t able to beat eventual winner Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School and finished fourth. The junior teams are very strong, however, leading to hope for another semi-final appearance in the years to come. The Junior Volleyball team played in the annual schools’ tournament during Term 3 and were runners up in Division B. The Firsts Volleyball finished the season in sixth position. Another summer sport, Squash, finished the season in fourth place in Term 4 and then third place in

Multi Skills Development continues to work on movement skills for the less qualified sports enthusiasts within the School. They gain confidence and knowledge of all things sports and fitness in a controlled environment that in which they feel more comfortable.

SPORT

Archery commenced last summer with the assistance of Trinity Grammar. The two schools share training, coaches and match facilities out at the Bulleen playing fields. Both schools have established squads and will continue to foster their relationship with a view to a formal competition in years to come.

Term 1. The Squash program allows for two full five week seasons within the normal ten week AGSV season. After the First Basketball squad enjoyed its overseas trip, the players came back and won two of their last four games to finish sixth overall. Captain Aden Stitz led from the front and hopes to join a US college team in the years to come. The next tour is scheduled for the end of 2018. Football was buoyed by the news that old boy Dan Houston was nominated for the rising star award for Port Adelaide. It was very exciting to see the Year 7A team narrowly finish second to Trinity after hitting the post in the final moments of their game. The Firsts Football, coached by new senior coach Dean Laidley, finished in ninth position. The Cross-Country squad has over 60 students from Year 7 to 12. Craig Mottram was employed to assist the team after his impressive boot camps for all students and staff in Term 1 of this year. He managed to get the squad to fourth position, narrowly missing third, for the first time in several years. Snowsports have several events that they enjoy throughout the winter season. Falls Creek family weekend and several trips to Mount Buller saw the squad finish the Victorian All Schools in seventh position. This is the only squad within the School that includes Junior School students. The Athletics team was hoping to improve on last year’s seventh position and achieved this, finishing the day in fifth position. Dilina DeSilva was very impressive all day, winning three gold medals, while other gold medallists included Kai Sapolu, Sebastian Beck, Jimmy Smith, Hugo Akse and Alex Wilson-Brown.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

The Cycling team climbed to fourth position this season and will look for a new direction next season after both Mr Nguyen and Mr Woodlock departed the School. Golf was unseeded in the AGSV tournament this year as teams are required to have three students with a handicap under 20 and Camberwell only had two. The golf program moves to summer from next season to get more competitions and time on the course. The First XI Cricket team finished in fifth position with a couple of impressive wins in Term 1 after they returned from the annual Neil Dansie Tournament at Toowoomba. The teams look forward to both training and playing on the newly renovated KAO next season. The Swimming team was aiming for another top three finish for the second year in a row and it didn’t disappoint. It climbed into third position yet again on the back of gold medals from Yanning Zhang, Gregory Kerdemelidis, Lewis Clarke, Richard Luo and Alexander Hillman. Camberwell continues to work with North Balwyn Baseball Club (NBBC) as part of the School’s winter Baseball program. This year Camberwell had two stand-alone teams in Under 13 and Under 15 while also assisting NBBC with players for their Under 15 and Under 17 teams. The Under 13s made the grand final while the Under 17s finished in sixth position. Taekwondo has over 30 students competing and training to gain new belts and increased confidence. The wide-open spaces at Camberwell’s new sports centre has allowed the squad to train in comfort twice a week under the tutelage of Barry Akehurst and Mr Green. The squad didn’t compete in any events this season but, with a move to summer next season, the squad will be able to access more varied competitions across Victoria.

It was great to see the AGSV Water Polo program move to the new Camberwell Grammar pool. Melbourne High has hosted the sport for many years now and was keen for a new move also. The Seniors made the grand final but were beaten by Trinity, while the Intermediates and Junior teams both won their respective grand finals. Real Tennis was introduced to the program this year under the guidance of Mr Davies. The squad trained once at school on the table tennis courts and then had a two-hour training/match session on Sunday afternoon at Richmond Real Tennis Club. With over 20 students in the squad the sport is yet another success story for Camberwell Grammar sport. Our annual matches produced mixed results this season with the First XI Cricket team winning the Ray Carroll Cup against Assumption earlier this year, while it lost the Allan Graham Cup to Ivanhoe. The Swimming squad won the annual ‘Duel in the Pool’ against Marcellin and PEGS but lost duels to Trinity and Yarra Valley Grammar. Badminton won the pre-season Stuart Webster Shield for Badminton against Scotch while the First XI Hockey Team lost the annual Geoff Mills Cup to Scotch. Arch rivals Camberwell and Trinity have created a new, seasonal trophy called the Mitre Shield. The Mitre Shield has a “best of three” style for the school that claims two victories out of three in the three big Winter and Summer sports. For summer, these sports include basketball, cricket and tennis, and for winter football, hockey and soccer. Trinity claimed the summer and winter series two to one. The First XVIII Football team lost the Ron Wootton Cup and Mitre Cup to Ivanhoe and Trinity respectively. Old Boys’ matches are always popular and 2017 was no exception. Cricket was added to the list when the First XI played an inaugural match against the Old Boys’ Cricket Club. Unfortunately, the First XI lost to the Old Boys even after Matthew James scored a fine 40.

Presentation Nights are the culmination of some of the seasons of sport. The Friends of groups organise the nights and their continued support is both important and appreciated. We had end of season football, snowsports, hockey, swimming and soccer evenings and several other Friends of groups are hoping to host their presentation nights in years to come. The Friends of groups also launch the season with presentation breakfasts and guest speakers. The Basketball Tour to the USA was a success at the end of last year with three teams, a total of 30 students, playing matches from Los Angeles to Seattle. Highlights included seeing Clay Thompson score 60 points for the Golden State Warriors, staying at Disneyland until it closed at midnight and getting to watch and meet the future, and now current, number one draft pick Markelle Fultz. Development Squads continue to be an important part of the hockey, soccer, football, basketball, tennis and cricket programs. Cricket is fortunate to have Mr Mark Freeman running one-on-one sessions to improve students’ bowling and batting. The Cricket Development squad also plays annual matches against Yarra Valley and Ivanhoe, while Hockey plays Trinity, under the guidance of Mr Stuart Webster. The students benefit from some extra training in their chosen sport, and improve their chances of excelling and hopefully playing in the Firsts.

And thank you to the Friends of groups who provide invaluable support. Whilst much of Camberwell Grammar School’s elite athletes have been mentioned in this report, it is the student body at large, with its combined commitment, determination and sportsmanship, which has enabled the sport program to flourish in 2017. Thank you all for your contributions. Mr Jamie Watson Director of Sport The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

Y R E H ARC This year marked the start of Archery as a summer sport for Camberwell Grammar. The squad, consisting of 25 keen young men in Years 7 to 12, travelled to the range at the Trinity playing fields at Bulleen for twice-weekly training sessions, to learn both the basic and crucial skills required in Archery. Led by seasoned coaches Sam Islip and Cameron Phillips, the boys set out to prove they could compete with the best of Trinity, despite this being their first season and for many of the boys, the first time they had picked up a bow. The training was kicked off with each boy receiving his own equipment, a bow and set of arrows to practise with over the season. After being taught how to string the bows and the proper shooting technique, the squad immediately launched into practice, striving to refine their technique. It was particularly encouraging to see the boys take to the organisation involved in Archery very well, with the members of the squad being responsible for all the equipment, set-up and pack-up involved during the season. Healthy participation was evident throughout the squad, with boys such as Ned Anderson, Luke Sudholz and Adam Moore leading the way, helping the other members of the squad by giving tips and helping them to improve their form. As well as this it was also heartening to see the fierce and friendly competition between the boys seeking to improve their own personal bests, and to show off their ability and hard work. The final meet of the season saw the squad competing against Trinity for the first ever competition between the schools on Saturday 4 March. Pleasant weather greeted them on the morning and after witnessing Trinity’s performance the team, determined, set out with headmaster Dr Paul Hicks watching on. Impressive performances were recorded across the board with many boys setting personal bests and even records for the season. At the end of the day Camberwell triumphed, beating Trinity in a tremendous effort by the squad, taking home their first inter-school competition win. 186

James Saligari claimed first place in the 20 metre category, an outstanding feat, considering he was using a sightless bow. First place in the 25 metre category went to Rory Lewis, scoring the highest aggregate score in what can only be described as the most intense competition of the season. A number of boys also scored very highly, particularly Aaron Campbell and Ethan Lee. I hope that Archery will become a prominent sport at Camberwell in the seasons to come, and that future squads have as much fun and success as we did this year. Hayden Jenzen Captain As an addendum, I would like to thank Hayden Jenzen for his sterling effort in being the inaugural Captain of Archery. He too scored highly on the 25 metre target.

ATHLETIC S The 2017 Athletics season saw the introduction of a revamped coaching team led by Craig Mottram, which created a healthy buzz and inspired new interest across a range of age groups and events. Over 100 boys tried out at training and trial competitions, with excellent participation from Year 7s an immediate highlight. Pleasingly, several boys who took advantage of early morning strength and conditioning sessions from earlier in the year showed dramatic improvement as the season progressed, underlining the value of a sustained commitment to their fitness. After a brief, five-week season the team selected for the Finals headed to Lakeside

It goes without saying that the team’s success would not have been possible without the contribution and commitment of our external coach Mr Nick Ong and our beloved Teacher in Charge and mentor Mr Green: we would all like to thank you for your hard work and encouragement during a very enjoyable 2016/17 season.

AWARDS CGS Champion Felix Wang

First IV Badminton The Camberwell Grammar School First IV Badminton team finished the season exceptionally well. The team of Felix Wang, Otto Zhao, Benjamin Chen, Jason Tran, Alex Chen and Sebastian Yeo competed very strongly, dominating all of their matches, and achieving very impressive results. The team won all their matches and retained the AGSV Badminton Premiership Cup for another year. This year, the strongest opposition came from PEGS and Yarra Valley with whom we competed twice against during the season. On these occasions the depth and talent of the Camberwell team proved too strong for its opponents. In the semi-finals, Yarra Valley lost to CGS and having defeated Ivanhoe, PEGS then played Camberwell in the final. They played determinedly and at times the scores were close; however, they were no match for the superior Camberwell squad who won the match to retain the Premiership Cup.

The thrill of winning the AGSV Badminton Premiership for the 16th time in the past 25 years was even more exhilarating when it was later announced that Felix Wang, Otto Zhao and Benjamin Chen had been selected as members of the 2017 AGSV Representative Badminton Squad and that Felix Wang was to be the team’s Captain. Every member of the team displayed excellent sportsmanship and represented the School proudly throughout the season. The team was very appreciative of the combined efforts of coach Mr Nick Ong and Teacher in Charge Mr Green for their contributions and dedication, without which the squad would not have achieved as much as it did. We wish next year’s team all the best in their efforts to continue CGS’s domination of this sport. Felix Wang Captain

Second Blue/Gold Badminton Performing with the utmost enthusiasm and yielding an undefeated season over 2016/17, both the Second Blue and the Second Gold Badminton teams continued Camberwell Grammar’s dominance in the sport. In hard fought matches against strong teams especially Yarra Valley and Ivanhoe, both squads displayed poise and skilfully outwitted their opponents. All members of the two teams represented the school with great sportsmanship and enjoyed

With only a few minor hiccups along the way, the Second Mitre and Crest teams had a great season. Facing formidable opponents, both teams’ enthusiasm, spirit and comradery helped them grind out victories in the 2016/17 season. The Second Mitre team maintained an impressive season with five out of the nine rounds going their way; a valiant effort when facing tough opponents such as Trinity Grammar School. The Second Crest team are to be equally commended for their six out of the nine rounds, displaying prowess in all levels of play. Helping fuel our success was our Badminton Teachers in Charge Mr Ha and Reverend Butler, who shared advice, tips and encouragement to the boys as they continued to perform during the season. All boys are incredibly happy with their performance over the season, and except for those leaving at the end of this year, also look forward to the 2017/18 season as the boys look to improve their game and represent the school at a higher level. Suva Pokharel Year 12

Third Blue/Gold/Mitre/Crest/ Bears Badminton In this division the boys are mainly beginners in the sport of badminton. So we are always pleased to see their enthusiasm and their skills development. The Third Crest, Bears and Gold teams struggled to get wins. Over the season they focused on developing their appreciation of ‘match-play’ tactics, racket skills and working together in doubles. It’s been a consolidating experience and they will continue to grow in the sport next season. Rev Charles Butler and James See

AWARDS MVP Matthew Katsoulotos Coach’s Award Ryan de Kretser

Under 17 Baseball Camberwell’s Under 17 Baseball team worked together with the North Balwyn Baseball Club once again this year with great success. This undertaking was beneficial to both organisations, bolstering the number of players for this coalition significantly. Not only did this alliance allow the North Balwyn club to field an additional team this year, but it also gave Camberwell members the opportunity to play with and against the more experienced club players. Given that this is only the second year of baseball as a winter sport at Camberwell, the amount of progress shown this past season was astounding. Many students wishing to experience something different from the more mainstream sports (football, soccer, hockey) decided to play baseball as an alternative, while the more veteran baseball players also returned for a second season, playing for the gold and double blue. The Under 17s team had very stiff competition in their season, and their greatest highlight was also their greatest trial. The pitcher is often seen as the ‘star player’ of the team, and most teams had one, if not more, dedicated pitchers that were experienced. Camberwell, however, did not possess this luxury. Andrew Phan

boldly stepped up to the mound and performed admirably as the starting pitcher for much of the season, his consistently accurate pitches starting each game on a strong foot. However, the rules require each team to have multiple pitchers who must throw each game, and Matt Katsoulotos, Ryan de Kretser and Hassaan Imran filled the role commendably each week. Towards the end of the season, Matt went on to do a great job as starting pitcher. These young men all performed laudably, especially given the amount of pressure placed on them each game. However, the contribution of the other members of the team cannot be overlooked, especially considering the equally high difficulty of taking up the bat. Andy Zeng did quite well at the bat, often succeeding at getting a hit, also acting as catcher for much of the season. Max Foulds and Louis Le, reinforced by Tommy Clayton once he returned from his trip to the US, also hit quite consistently under the ever-reliable coaching of Jeremy Young. After the league split into subdivisions for the age group, Camberwell were much more competitive and the team was rewarded for their persistence in the early part of the season with some much closer games. Thanks must be given to North Balwyn Baseball Club for aiding us in our efforts, and to Jeremy Young for his coaching. Thanks also to Mr Lucas and Ms Eckersley for organising our team. Mr Andy Zeng Assistant Manager

BASEBALL

Under 15 Baseball The 2017 Camberwell baseball season was a major success with many new and some returning faces joining the Camberwell Wasps. Every Thursday for two terms, the team bussed down to Myrtle Park with the help of Ms Eckersley, our team manager, to the home of the North Balwyn Baseball Club where Justin, Jeremy and Mark led the team through countless training exercises preparing us for the games. Every game was an early one with some players ready for the game, but the others (the majority) a little tired, but all in all everyone was ready to give it their all. We then met our coaches Justin and Jason for training as we (attempted) to intimidate the other team, whilst having a little fun. Then we got ready to play. Although the line-up changed a little over the long season, we had the most capable players at each position. Our out-fielders were usually Ben Ridley, Sam Hardy, Matt Dunn or myself, and we let nothing get past us. The bases and shortstop were then covered by Angus Aikman, Alex Guorgi, Lingming Hu or Ben Cheng. The important roles of pitcher and catcher were filled with Taige Dong or Tony Gu as our catcher and Leo Yang or once again Ben Cheng as a pitcher with their formidable arms. All in all, the 2017 Baseball season went swimmingly. Each and every player tried his hardest contributing his skills and personality to the team, and although we lost each game we definitely made a statement proving that we could change for the better.

BASEBALL Under 13 Baseball The Under 13 Camberwell Wasps began the season with a team full of first timers. With amazing guidance from our coaches Mark and Megan and great spirit from our team, we managed to win most of our games and even secure runner-up in the final of the Under 13 winter season.

SPORT

We had some sensational hitting from Will Kruse and Ben Price, Scott Zheng was our reliable catcher who was always on the ball when it past the batsmen after being pitched by our accurate pitchers Tom Cooper and Josh Kohlman. When the ball was hit, our fielders Max Boyle, Marcus Katsoulotos, Jonathan Yen, Hieu Tran and myself never let the ball get past us. The Under 13 Wasps were a formidable team. The alliance between North Balwyn Baseball Club and Camberwell Grammar is truly awesome and enables opportunities for us to explore different sports. I would like to thank our coaches Mark and Megan for a fantastic season and our manager, Ms Eckersley for making it all happen. Without them we could not have been as successful as we were. Also, thank you to all our parents, who scored and cheered us along at every game. Freddy Branson Year 7

AWARDS First V Most Valuable Player Aden Stitz All Star V Team Lachlan Purcell, Sepehr Thamasebi, Samuel Rendell, Samuel Watson and David Mutavdzija. Friends of Basketball Best Team Award 9C Gold. Coach: R. Wu. Patrick Canny, Thomas Cox, Nicholas Daicos, Darcy de Rauch, Matthew Deayton, Seth Ponniah, Alexander Ryan, Jack Schwenk and Nijad Yu.

First V Basketball Encouraged by the opportunities a new season presents and the potential to compete against American High School Varsity teams during the USA Basketball tour, the 2016-17 First V Basketball squad got to work near the end of Term 3, in preparation for a hectic schedule. Much like the previous season, the Camberwell squad could be considered undersized when compared to their other AGSV opponents, however with the addition of Will Kruyt, Harry Kruyt and Oscar Crittenden, as well as the continued improvement of both Jack Amling and Josh Marino, Camberwell’s frontline became the team’s strength for many games throughout the season. We had many deserved wins during the season and held our own against the likes of Mentone, Marcellin and Trinity. The First V

finished the season with three wins and five losses for a sixth place overall finish. A special mention must go to captain Aden Stitz for his composure and true grit on the basketball court and to Vice Captain Harry Veitch, whose lockdown defence and crafty offense would become an integral part of the ‘Wellers’ game style. For his leadership he showed on the court and his determination, Harry was awarded Half Colours. Aden Stitz, due to his offensive threat and quick reflexes was selected, for the second year running, in the AGSV team of the season, a wonderful recognition for a brilliant player, who, for these reasons was also awarded Full Colours. One of the highlights that will be remembered during this 2016-17 season was Will Kruyt’s transition to the ‘Bucket Shot’ free throw, which he would unveil during Camberwell’s strong win against Assumption College. It was a bold and risky move, but it was rewarded as he scored two for two on his free throws that match, to much applause from the crowd and his teammates. I would, along with the First V basketball team, like to thank Coach Steve Blackley for his tireless work both on and off the court this season. His knowledge of the game and ability to inspire the students to be their best is testament to his hard work and he strongly influences the positive brand of basketball we are nurturing here at Camberwell Grammar School.

Fourth Gold Basketball

Beginning the season as the Second’s strongest player, and promising much, was Captain Adam van der Hock. Unfortunately, his season was cut short with a devastating knee injury in the fifth game. In Adam’s absence Oliver Wong and Vinay Savur stepped up as the competent game controllers. Vinay won the Best Player award in a very close vote, due mainly to his incredibly timely scoring in tight games. In his final season, Jake Purcell was a stand-out defensively and he began scoring more freely as the season progressed. Also, completing their summer sports service in style, were the bustling power forwards Nick Wardlaw and Liam Chester. Without their contributions in rebounding, scoring and general positive energy the team would have been much less successful. The team’s spirit was of an exceptionally high standard this year. The training sessions were undertaken with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Taking out the Best Player award in Third Gold this year was David Augustes. Together with fellow big man, William Nicholson, these two players seemed to score at will from any shooting range all season. They were well supported by Joel Kleiman and Will Woods, who together provided the bulk of CGS’s defensive pressure. A common occurrence over the season was a steal from Joel, a nifty assist from Will and two points to David. The Third Gold team finished the 2012/13 season with many more wins than losses. The losses were close and hard fought and the positive attitude that the team played and trained with did not change throughout the season.

The Fourth Gold team gained greater confidence as the season progressed, moving from regular heavy losses to the occasional win and closely fought out affairs. Hansen Zhou and Wayne Liu were always busy in both defence and attach while George Li added a scoring capacity lacking earlier in the season. The team was ably assisted by Daniel Pham, Ash Tchen, Clee Tiet, Jonathan Tor and Victor Zhao. Also late on the scene was Lachlan Obers who gave the squad additional strength in defence and transition. Overall, two wins for the season was a reasonable result.

Mr Nicholas Martin Coach

Third Blue Basketball The 2016/17 Season for the Third Blue team was a highly successful one. This was a lot due to the disciplined defence hard transition running of Mr David McColl and Mr Richard Wotherspoon. The sensational propensity of Jonathan See and Nathan Chong to light up the scoreboard, from wide outside the arc in devastating short term bursts, was a captivating feature of their games. Inside the key, Matthew Mutavdzija was often the spark for a lift in performance across the whole team. However, controlling the game at both ends and facilitating his team’s success was this year’s best player, Fin Sampson. His efforts underpinned the teams highly competitive performances in every match. Mr Nicholas Martin Coach 192

Fourth Blue Basketball The team combined well together to win a number of games this season. With Stanley Ma our chief goal scorer, ably assisted by Ethan Chai, Tim Bilston and Joseph Parker the team was competitive. In defence, Will Exon was reliable and Patrick Dean and Robert Liu gave new meaning to the word ‘depth’. Ollie Neil got some very nice three-pointers throughout the season and later in the season the team was augmented with James Paul who always gave 100% on the court. With four wins from nine matches it can be considered a successful season. Dr Murray Anderson Teacher in Charge

Fourth Mitre Basketball The Fourths Mitre Basketball team had a bitter-sweet season this year. There were two matches that stood out: Camberwell Grammar’s close win against Ivanhoe Plenty; largely as a result of the excellent defensive and rebound attack play from Sean Halley, whose final goal saved the match and the second nail biting match against Ivanhoe, where Henry Neil racked up a number of goals, including an unbelievable three-point shot to keep CGS in the match; although eventually going down by 5 points, it was an edge-of-your-seat game. Whilst all players contributed to the excitement of the season, the MVP was deservedly awarded to Brandon Chew for his consistent goal scoring and his defensive court coverage. A special mention to Will Bartram and Tyler Swinburne, who provided pace in transition and an honourable mention to Lucas Karlson, who was unfortunately unable to complete the season due to injury.

Nathan Martin Captain

Fourth Crest Basketball While the Fourth Crest Basketball team played valiantly and all members of the team improved their skill level during the season we were, unfortunately, no match for the strong opposition faced and were unable to produce a single victory. One of the most memorable highlights of the season was the greatly contested match against Peninsula Blue. Trailing by 12 points, CGS managed to turn the match around to a draw in the last second. Congratulations to Justin Luke, for being awarded MVP and to Joe Chen, Ben Nguyen and Sepehr Tahmasebi for making daring and opportunistic plays at both ends of the court. Nelson Lau, Lachlan Thompson and Travis Barton deserve special mention for their consistent efforts throughout the season. Finally, a special thank you to Ms Turnnidge for her constant support and her cheerful willingness to score the games. Thank you also to Sam Pastellas, our coach, who provided valuable advice during the season and tactics we plan to put into action next season. Sepehr Tahmasebi Captain

10A Basketball Despite the injuries that plagued the team, particularly in the second half of the season, the 10A team had a productive year, improving their skills and enjoying themselves, both on and off the court. The team’s record was not particularly successful, with only three out of nine wins, but the spirit and sportsmanship, each member displayed in both victory and defeat was something to behold. The highlight of the season came in the final game, with the 10A team’s defeat of Assumption at BSC by a staggering 15 points. Mr Colin Stein Teacher in Charge

10B Blue and Gold Basketball The start to the season was rough and the 10B Gold team had trouble finding its feet and thus suffered many losses at the hands of Trinity, Mentone, Ivanhoe and others. Soon we realised that a change was needed so players and positions were moved around and our matches became closer and closer, until we won a game! We ended the season by taking out a brilliant win against a worthy opponent. Special mentions go to Max Foulds, Josh Farmer and Will Yang for showing their physical prowess and skill. The 10B Blue team also suffered frustrating losses, but never gave up, always pulling together as

a team and supporting each other when things went wrong. Special mentions to Jason Einhart and Will Chang. On behalf of both teams, I would like to issue a warm thank you to Teacher in Charge Ms Norris and Coaches Aaron and Alice for all their efforts. Ryan Albert and Will Bolton Year 10

10C Blue and Gold Basketball Both teams had a successful season winning more games than they lost. Despite losing a few boys to a higher level, we still managed to play a high standard of basketball. Noteworthy contributors for the season were Ryan Walsh and Jack McColl, who won awards for their respective teams. One of the highlights of the year was the most sensational three-pointer by Samuel Nania in the last second of the final game to ensure our victory.

SPORT

Overall the team performed well, despite many matches being against more experienced Year 12 players. A special thank you to Ms Turnnidge for managing the team and to Sam Pastellas for his coaching advice. Thank you also to all the parents who supported us this season. We can’t wait for next season where we hope to convert those close games to wins!

9A Basketball The Camberwell Grammar 9A Basketball team showed great development throughout the 2016/17 season. At the end of 2016 we had one win and two losses to our name – we were a team that showed promise, but somehow struggled to work together. Fortunately, this was nothing a bit of sun and summer could not fix and after the long break we came into 2017 playing as a unit. Our worst result in 2017 was a draw, with the three other matches seeing us come out well on top. In particular, there were moments at Assumption where we would have challenged any team in the competition – smooth passing and instinctive understanding of where to be meant that the baskets kept on coming. It was an excellent way to finish the season and provides great promise for the future. Mr Will Hone Teacher in Charge

9B Blue and Gold Basketball Team spirit ran high throughout the season. While the results were mixed between great wins, losses and everything in between, the boys’ camaraderie and willingness to achieve their best was apparent. Training picked up with the opening of our wonderfully convenient new sports complex, which we all acknowledged with excitement and gratitude. There were times when we were low on players, yet the team banded together with limited subs. We wish Ronan Dicker and Mitchell Jenzen all the best with their recovery from injury, and thank Ronan for his assistance and engagement with score keeping on the side line. Special thanks must also go out to Lewis Neil, Lachlan Evans, Jay Song, Nicholas Daicos and Michael Augustes for volunteering their time to help-out the other team when numbers were low. Our constructive coach Micah enjoyed a positive positive rapport with everyone, while Hugh McGlone had demonstrated great leadership and tactical advice in his absence.

Well done to both 9C Blue and Gold Basketball teams for a successful season with excellent results. Both teams played well, ending the season with six wins. Despite 9C Gold losing to Trinity Green and 9B losing to Yarra Valley Red and Trinity Green, both teams displayed great team dynamics and outstanding sportsmanship. Special mention to Patrick Canny, Jack Schwenk, Alexander Ryan, Harry Senior and Sam Watson for consistent performance and significant contributions throughout the season.

The 8B Gold Basketball team had a good season. Even though we only won three games, our mental game was strong. At training all the boys performed and showed up. We stayed focused and played the game. The season started with an unfortunate loss to Marcelin (35-38). It was an extremely close game and all the boys tried their best. Some stand-out players were Jamie Schreuder and Liam Thomas both scoring well. Later on in the season, the boys finally got their win against Assumption (54-21). The game showed that height does not win games. Jamie Schreuder also had a strong game with 20 points and Nick Exon scoring when needed.

8A Basketball The 8A Basketball team had an interesting season with some very close wins and some even closer loses. The team played gallantly with Sam Rendell putting in a consistent effort to take out the seasons MVP. David Mutavdzija and Jack Roberts assisted in bringing the ball up the court and allowed the talls to get it into the paint. Austin Petersen and Jimmy Smith, both played hard, taking strong rebounds and scoring big numbers. Flynn Chable and Jamie Schreuder scored multiple three-pointers and were pivotal in hustle plays. Harrison Hough showed promise on offence and his defence skills assisted his teammates. A special mention to Zac Johnson, Tom May and Matthew Seletto for filling in with the team at the start of the season. The team ended with four wins and five losses taking out fifth place on the ladder. Ms Katrina Massey Teacher in Charge

8B Blue Basketball The 8B Blue Basketball team had a great season. Although we did not win all of our games, we gave it a good crack. The first game of the season, the 8B Blue boys came out with bang and won the game comfortably with the stand-out players consisting of Zac Johnson, Jack Booth and Luke Doblin. Second game for the season was a tough one all the way out in Yarra Valley. Unfortunately, the ball just didn’t drop for us and we lost, but it was a great team effort. Throughout the rest of the season we picked up a few wins and were working really well together as a team, stand-outs were Ty Beechey, Tom May, Oliver Purcell and Benjamin Wardlaw. The last three games of the season were really tough, going down by under four points twice. The boys fought hard but just couldn’t seem to convert. The season ended with our heads held high, many great performances and nothing to regret. Ty Beechey Year 8

One very unlucky game in the season was a close loss to Ivanhoe. It was a heartbreaking loss as Ivanhoe scored two foul shots in the last eight seconds to win the game. The boys struggled, fighting to the end, but unfortunately it was an unlucky loss. The 8B Gold Basketball team had some struggles in some games. Our main struggles were staying consistent, not only with our shots, but our passing and defence also let us down. The boys and Coaches plan to solve those problems for next season so we are prepared and ready for next season’s games. Liam Thomas Year 8

8C Blue and Gold Basketball The 7C Gold and Blue Basketball teams enjoyed an extremely successful season. Split across two terms, all players showed improvement in both their individual ball skills and game sense tactics whilst approaching each game with good spirit and determination. There were many strong players across both teams, however, each player knew his specific role within his team making each game a delight to watch and coach. The teams are applauded for their continued enthusiasm and commitment towards each game and training session. Miss Kristina DiNatale Teacher in Charge

7A Basketball The 7A Basketball team had a successful season, with three strong wins and two losses (each by only 11 points). Tom Power, Benny Grayson, Harrison Haintz, Michael Alexander and Caleb Finlayson rebounded the ball with lots of fight and aggression, and our composed ball handlers, Pavara Jayawardena, Sam Woods, Caleb, Will Howell and Harley Inglis could be relied on to bring the ball up the court each and every game, always running their hardest. The shooters had a great season, too, especially in the third game against Ivanhoe. The key shooters were Sam Veitch, Sam Woods, Harley Inglis and Will Powell, accurate from anywhere in the forward court, and Benny Grayson, who was able to drive

strongly to the basket. Josh Kohlman was also very reliable, especially with set shots around the key. One of the most spectacular shots was when Harrison shot a buzzer beater from the corner at half time. Overall we had a great season and are looking forward to next season. Tom Power and Sam Veitch Year 7

7B Blue Basketball Throughout our season, I think that we’ve all developed at least two new skills. One of those skills is teamwork. In the first game we didn’t really know each other that well, but by the end of the season we were all really close. We ended the season well winning our last three games. Even though we didn’t win all our games I think everyone tried their best and never gave up. We would like to thank Tim our Coach who has been there when we needed it. He didn’t coach all our games because he also coached the other B team, but the games he did coach, made a difference to our game time. We would also like to thank Ms Sharman for giving us our notice before every game – we would be lost without your help. So thank you to everyone including parents for taking us to our games and supporting us. Brodie Carswell Year 7

7B Gold Basketball Throughout the duration of the basketball season I believe that we did extremely well on all of our games. We managed to win two out of six games and with the other four games we fought hard until the very end. Our first game was hard for our team because it was the start of the year and not all of us knew each other very well, but as we became closer towards the end of the season we improved our teamwork and played much better. We would like to thank Tim our coach for coaching and supporting us and Ms Sharman for assisting our coach each week. We would also like to thank all the parents who came along to watch and cheered us on. Jonathan Le Year 7

7C Blue and Gold Basketball The season started off full of enthusiasm and team spirit. The boys were enthusiastic and looked forward to their training session each week as well as their games on the weekend. The 7C Gold team started off their season with a strong win over the Peninsula Blue team, but unfortunately 7C Blue team did not have a win. Overall, the season was a success for the boys as they played with determination and passion. They were supportive of one another and passed the ball around so that everyone had a chance to play. It was good to see some experienced players helping out those less experienced ones. Ms Suzanne Jack Teacher in Charge

First XI Cricket The First XI Cricket squad enjoyed a long pre‑season, which stretched all the way from the June/July break to our practice games against Old Camberwell Grammarians and Melbourne Grammar. It was clear that the boys were all eager for success and this enthusiasm was well directed by Head Coach Richard Clifton, who has been pivotal in the development of Camberwell Cricket for three years now. The new look Camberwell Grammar side fielded three new players in their round one clash with Yarra Valley Grammar, with Sam Garrard, Will McIlroy and James Bickerdike all making their first appearances for the team. Camberwell batted first in trying conditions and compiled 3/135 with Jon Thiele (46) and Matthew James (32) playing important knocks. A bowling master class then followed with Will McIlroy and Rohan Chitale combining to clear the top order before debutant Sam Garrard took 4/11 an outstanding achievement which saw Yarra Valley bowled for just 54. The first XI’s next game was washed out before facing two tough defeats to Peninsula and Ivanhoe in which Camberwell were unable to show discipline with bat or ball despite terrific knocks on both occasions from Tom Cutter.

What followed these two heavy defeats was something astonishing, something that marked and showed fantastic progression in Camberwell Cricket. Camberwell faced Marcellin in the final game before the summer break. After taking the field first, Camberwell took early wickets and amounted immense pressure on their opposition before they managed to steady. As Marcellin looked as though they were going to surpass 200 late wickets from Sam Garrard, we saw him end the bowling innings with figures of 5/39. Chasing 190, Camberwell would have to work hard to make the runs and when the score fell to 5/76 it looked as though the target was out of reach. However, a composed 76 from Sam Garrard saw him involved in a 114 run partnership which was enough to get the First XI team over the line with four balls to spare. A phenomenal win and a great way to head into the break. The annual Neil Dansie Festival was again hosted by Toowoomba Grammar and despite no wins to record for Camberwell, several outstanding individual performances including

Matthew James, who scored 66 (65) against Toowoomba Grammar and James Horn who took 7/44 against St. Peters College. The trip was an enjoyable experience as always and ensured a stronger team vibe heading into the back half of the season. The strong AGSV form continued with Camberwell recording another win against Assumption thanks to fantastic knocks from Matthew James (34) and Sam Windisch (35) which allowed Camberwell to post 8/187. Will McIlroy was then the pick of the bowlers taking 4/25 and helping bowl out Assumption for 164. A tight loss to Trinity followed in a rain impacted game in which Camberwell were able to stay competitive thanks to a Matthew James (57). This was then followed by a loss to Mentone. With three wins and one draw Camberwell managed to finish in fifth place, just missing out on a finals place. The 2016/2017 season was full of enjoyment and progress and I’m sure this will be carried on into future seasons. It was fantastic to Captain a great group of talented young men and I would also like to thank Mr Robinson, Richard Clifton, Mr Young and all the boys in the First XI team for their support over the season.

Third XI Cricket

Second XI Cricket In terms of results, the Second XI Cricket team had a mixed 2016/2017 season. However, in terms of teamwork, effort and fun, we had an undeniably great season. All boys showed a willingness to play their very best cricket week in and week out, with tremendous leadership and cricketing skills demonstrated by all. Our first game, a stand-out down to the wire performance against TPS, must be mentioned. With only nine in the field, we managed

Inspired by the return of the enthusiastic Mr Gough, the Third XI cricket team travelled to Yarra Valley in a determined effort to turn around a disappointing season. The dynamic duo Alistair Rogers and Josh Cooper opened the batting, and built a solid partnership of 50 runs to start the match. Herculean performances with a bat also came from new recruits Tim Edney and Michael Karabatsos, Captain Aidan Pearson, and Vice Captain Tom Finney, and these produced 4/119 – the best result of the season. Once Camberwell took to the field, the possibility of securing a much-needed win spurred on the team, and, as wickets fell at regular intervals, the pressure piled onto the opposition. But it was Karabatsos, who in playing his first game of cricket for the School, removed all three stumps and restricted Yarra Valley’s score to 8/88. Well done to our lads for attaining such a convincing victory. Mr Samuel Gough Teacher in Charge

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

The bowling attack of Ryan Fitzgerald, Oliver Brown, Thomas Graves, Joseph Lai and Shiv Malik consistently bowled good areas and created numerous chances in the field. The batting was led by Charlie Harper, Thomas Graves, Lachlan Melville, Henry Macdonald, Roy Wang and Oliver Brown, who were able to put together a number of competitive totals. The highlight of the season came in the final round against Marcellin when the team registered their first win. Winning the toss and batting first Camberwell Grammar compiled 150 runs before restricting MGS to only 5/135. The team showed great sportsmanship and spirit all season and should be proud of their efforts! Mr Matt Sofoulis Teacher in Charge

9A Cricket The 9A Cricket team had a reasonably successful season, winning five of its eight matches, with one of the three losses being by a mere eight runs. Captain Ned Bennett led from the front, being involved in several match winning partnerships and exposing opposition players’ poor footwork with his looping leg breaks. Luke Kelvie regularly opened the bowling and top scored in several games. Finn Weston also contributed strongly with bat and ball and in the field. Besides being reliable behind the stumps, wicketkeeper Josh Pollocks teamed well with Ben Hindhaugh to open the innings, with their running and calling a highlight which others can learn from. Opening the bowling, Luke Matthews often obtained prodigious swing to remove batsmen with unplayable deliveries. The team generally trained well, with players like Vice Captain Lewis Winkett, Sam Lord, Matt Lewison, Pat Rogan, Daniel Iacobucci and Michael Campbell leading the way with their punctuality and sense of purpose. This allowed them to improve and will help them play more senior roles next season. Michael Dimatos,

despite injury, regularly attended matches even if he could not play, which is a credit to him and the team spirit we developed. Trinity Old Boy Ben Lawler kept training interesting and umpired all our games, leaving the Teacher in Charge, Mr Beale, with very little to do! Mr Andrew Beale Teacher in Charge

9/10B Cricket The 9/10B Cricket team had a varied but enjoyable cricket season. Highlights were Jay Assauw’s lusty hitting; the exciting, narrow loss to Marcellin by two runs; and the win against Trinity by one run, which included a superb reflex catch by ‘young Harry’ Rice and two maiden overs from Rohan Hodges. Congratulations to Most Valuable Players Angus Corr for ably co-captaining the team. Thanks to the several ‘mystery guests’ who weekly made up our numbers; to ‘older Harry’ for his coaching advice and unbiased umpiring decisions; and to the boys’ parents for their support and chauffeur duties.

8A Cricket

7A Cricket

The 8A Cricket team were proud of their achievements this season, winning four games. There were many highlights throughout the season with consistent team and individual performances, however a particular highlight includes defeating Ivanhoe by 12 runs after a heavy loss earlier in the season. Jordan Murphy and James Harker did exceptionally well opening the bowling most weeks and were very successful getting a number of wickets, ably assisted by Josh Gale, Blake Pearson, Gareth Cox, Marc Dalla Riva and Callum Rutledge. Our batters also had great success with the following retiring on 50 throughout the season: Jordan McCleery, James Harker, Blake Pearson and Matt Mountain. Josh Yates also contributed with some quick-fire 30s late in the season. The entire team has progressed and improved greatly this season, Alex Niarchos and Christian Rogan displayed more consistent batting and bowling performances gaining form as the season progressed. Whilst it was at times difficult waking up early in the morning, we would like the thank Mr Miriklis and Chris for assisting our team and motivating us, as we learnt a lot from them. We all enjoyed our Saturday mornings playing together as we worked well as a team and look forward to our next season together.

The 7A Cricket team were ripe with depth, skill and enthusiasm this year, and enjoyed a successful half season; winning three out of four matches. Wins came against Ivanhoe, Mentone and PEGS, while our only loss was to arch rivals Trinity in a Twenty20. There were many outstanding individual performances; however, it was the boys’ ability to play as a team and their eagerness to learn and improve that was most impressive and resulted in their success. Having said that, in a close finish against Ivanhoe, Caleb Smith closed out the game in emphatic fashion. He claimed a hat-trick in the first three balls of a final over to seal a close win. Throughout the four matches, Joshua Davidson and Harry Gittins were consistent with the bat, while Seneth Kariyawasam, Mitch Horn and Ben Grlj were reliable with the ball. The team was well led by co-captains Josh, Mitch and Lachie Ross, and they were well supported by all members of the team. It was a very enjoyable season in which the boys learned a lot and demonstrated significant improvement.

8B Cricket

Development Squad The Camberwell Grammar Cricket Development squad played two two-day matches against Ivanhoe Grammar and Yarra Valley Grammar. The team was selected from the boys in Year 7, 8 and 9 who have displayed exceptional ability during their AGSV matches. We were successful in both matches, although the point of the exercise is the experience of playing in a school representative side alongside others of similar ability, and also to play in first class conditions. The boys received intensive coaching from Mr Mark Freeman, our Development Coach, to build on their strengths, and also to build a winning philosophy and team spirit. Many thanks to Mr Freeman for his expert advice and direction during the season. The Development Squad this season were: Year 9; Lewis Winkett, Finn Weston, Josh Pollocks, Luke Kelvie, Ned Bennett, Ben Hindhaugh, Matthew Lewison and Luke Matthews. Year 8; Jordan McCleery, Blake Pearson, Josh Yates, James Harker, Jordan Murphy and Gareth Cox. Mr Peter Robinson Teacher in Charge

In terms of points in the CGS league, the 8B Cricket team were the second most successful side of the season. This honour was achieved by the steadfast performance of a team who worked increasingly well together under the nurturing captaincy of Ki Herold, who led the team with confidence and a real eye for fielder placement and batting and bowling order. The Most Valuable Player was awarded to Dean Buchanan for his prowess with the bat as he scored the most runs of the season (66) without losing a wicket – quite a feat. Other mentionable statistics include: Rian MacLennan who was the second highest scoring batsman with 65 and he kept wicket all season, Dan Sunderland who took the most wickets (seven) and Jack Summers, who had the highest scoring single innings, with 32 runs.

Mr Lachlan Crawford Coach

7B Cricket The Year 7B cricket team had an enjoyable season. Playing four games we managed one win, amongst some close losses. The team found it to be an invaluable introduction to Camberwell Grammar Sport, playing well as a team, and developing friendships outside of the classroom. The squad was made up of 15 boys, who were always happy to ensure each member was afforded a fair go, learning the skills of the game; some for the very first time. Batting was the team’s strength, with Luke O’Brien and Charles Robertson leading the way as the team’s Most Valuable Players. I would also like to thank the Friends of Cricket group for their consistent support of the coaches and the boys, it makes a great difference. It was a pleasure to be a part of the development of these young cricketers, and I hope to see many of them again as they continue to improve. Mr Paul Young Teacher in Charge

Other players, too numerous to mention in this report, worked well together and showed signs of improvement over the season. The side became more vocal and supportive of one another and this accounted, in no small part, for the progress that the team made. They will continue to improve next year in the Year 9 league.

Another year has run its course, and for the boys of Camberwell Grammar Cross Country it has been a long way. For most of the team, 2017 was a return to Winter sport like any other year. However, new members in the junior category would have their work cut out if they were going to be competitive from the start of the season. There was little time before races began, with only a few weeks for school training sessions and time trials. Fortunately, the Camberwell squad was aided by the skill and experience of several new coaches: middle and long-distance specialist Mr Craig Mottram, and brothers Cassidy and Riley Shaw. With new schedules and workouts prepared, our runners were pushed through the pain in an effort to do better – and they did. The ovals at Frog Hollow Reserve will likely bring bad memories. Not much fun there. Because of all this, Camberwell’s first few showings exceeded expectations. Round 1 was hosted by Marcellin, and immediately the junior age group revealed their potential. Jimmy Smith’s fifth place position was the highest Camberwell place of the day, and was supported closely by Otto Zhao. With many of the Year 7 and 8 boys competing in their first race, the fourth-place ranking was superb. 198

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

In the intermediate race, Taran Laurence once again led the Camberwell cohort – while Alex Seedier and Felix McCuaig were among the star challengers in the top 30 places. Larger numbers in the senior division helped the team to maintain consistency. Nick Liew’s outstanding run over the seven-kilometre course highlighted the group’s fifth place end result in the Year 11s and 12s. Camberwell left the venue in fourth position on the school ladder – but only a single point behind equal second! The Victorian All Schools Relay Competition would see strong competition convene at Jells Park. With teams selected from the first AGSV round, Camberwell appeared in good shape to further its interschool ranking. Early to impress was the Under 14 team, with runners Otto Zhao, Colby Gale, Thomas Power and Lachlan Wei bringing home an outstanding seventh place in the state. Amid a very quick field, Camberwell’s Under 16 group delivered a fitting follow-up with a tenth-place finish. In the afternoon it would be time for the senior groups turn, and although racing the top teams would be difficult, all the Camberwell boys did not falter – allowing the under 18s to claim twelfth overall. Rounds two, three and four would return to the standard AGSV format and distances in individual events. At Mentone’s Braeside event, Colby Gale and Ben Chen stepped up to replace several empty numbers and collect high places. In the intermediate events, Alex Tong showed himself to be quite the dependable athlete, returning nearly constant results at the sharp end of the field for the first half of the season. Also deserving of applause was Ronan Dicker, whose absolute determination in training paid off considerably and allowed him to gain massive ground in the races. The Ballam Park and Yarra Valley grounds were the scene of some fantastic senior performances as well – notably from Adrian Xu, who came

from illness to go straight back to fighting form. The return of Peter Thorn to the team was also greatly welcomed, as he placed consistently among the leading groups. The hiatus over the second term holidays makes for interesting competition – even within the team – when Cross Country resumes for Round 6. The fifth AGSV event at Brimbank Park, established who went into the break as the runner to beat in their age group. However, several cases of illness and injury left Camberwell with work to do. Not prepared to let the progress made during school training go to waste, the schedule proposed by Mr Mottram would help keep the team in racing condition – provided they put in the time and effort. At Banyule Flats, it was easy to see those who had. For Otto Zhao it was improvement as usual, only now within the top 15 places in the juniors. John Williams lost no pace over the holidays and ran straight to a strong result, now within the twenties. Leading by example, it was pleasing to see the senior cohort return more competitive than ever, with Tom Lombardi’s stellar runs complemented by tremendous gains from Richard Dardis and Brandon Chew. With Mentone now back at only one point ahead in the school rankings, the battle would go down to the wire. Camberwell would host the final event at Yarra Bend. In near-perfect weather, the team was advised to push early for positions, vital given the track bottleneck immediately after the start line. For the Camberwell squad this gave an early reason to cheer, with Jimmy Smith leading the junior pack out to ultimately clinch a remarkable fourth place in the race and sixth for the season. Pat Canny made his comeback from injury with a smooth run to ably support

SPORT Taran Laurence’s fourth top-ten place in a row, earning him sixth overall in the intermediates. For the senior boys, it was a close battle with Richard and Brandon now chasing Christian Chene’s brilliant fifteenth place finish, while Nick Lee performed as well as ever, topping off his great team spirit with another competitive run in the thick of the field. This time, though, a gap of two points to Mentone meant the podium escaped the Camberwell team. That said, bringing the season to a close with fourth place overall, goes to show the determination and competitive pace of the squad; but Camberwell’s performance of 2017 was so much more than just this placing. For much of the year, it would have seemed impossible to predict the final standings – and we took the battle for third down to the wire at the final race. In each age group, the team’s strength stood not just on the positions of star runners, but also on their supporting runners in the midfield and rear of the pack.

Most importantly, though, the main reasons for this year’s successes were the things that the other schools never got to see. The Camberwell runners did not simply rock up on race day and bolt. They built on the foundations laid in training - whether it was after, or outside, school hours. Whether it was a charge up Highfield Road, or a lap around Hays Paddock, the squad would do the work. Even when faced with exhaustion, morale and team spirit remained high – and it was perhaps this that was most impressive. Encouragement of each other goes a long way. Look at how far our runners have come. It’s not the end of the road. Camberwell finished one place higher than they did last year. For those running in 2018, see how far you can go.

G N I L CYC AWARDS Senior Encouragement Award Owen Seeley

SPORT

Junior Encouragement Award Joel Cooray The summer season of school sport proved once again to be an eventful period for Camberwell Grammar’s cycling squad. Returning to competition after the winter, the group of twenty boys looked to ride on to greater success and performance. 2016 saw the addition of several new riders to the team – particularly in the junior ranks. With greater numbers across a wide range of categories, Camberwell was looking strong to contend for overall series points. It would not only be numbers that would boost the squad this time around. Among the senior riders, several boys had committed to further training in the off-season, and new-found pace and endurance was immediately apparent in early training. Returns to the usual venues of Hawthorn Velodrome and Kew Boulevard built on the riders’ skills, in order to allow the team to be tactical as well as fast. The squad’s younger members quickly acclimatised to the requirements of riding in the bunch and slipstreaming, while the older boys tackled hill climbs for power training. With the first event approaching quickly on the calendar, team coaches Mr Nguyen, Mr Woodlock and Hamish Webber helped the team prepare to the best of their abilities. Unfortunately for all the effort, Race 1 never went forward. As a result of continued torrential rain, the event at Casey Fields was called off – just as the Camberwell boys had gathered to depart. The event was to have been an individual time trial for all riders, and times would be used for grading over the rest of the season. Without this event, divisions would remain the same for riders from last season. Many of the junior boys went into Race 2 without any former racing experience. The event, a Criterium at Kew Boulevard’s Teardrop circuit, would require bike control in the pack – which can be daunting in close racing. However, the track had become familiar with the team following many training sessions – its tricky hairpin corner was less of an issue now that gear ratios and cornering positions were well-versed. As such, the races saw many Camberwell boys using their higher exit speeds to gain positions on their opponents. Junior riders James Stambe and Emanuel Yassa worked together to take second and third in Junior B, while Zac Kelly and Alex Murray both grabbed silver in their events. Notably, 200

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

new senior rider Owen Seeley demonstrated excellent technical ability in the bunch despite having not raced. For Round 3, the boys would try their endurance in another event, a team time trial, before the end the school year. Held on a Friday, groups were organised and strategies discussed during a meeting at lunch break. The course at Sandown Raceway was open to the wind and featured long straights, meaning close bunch riding and sheltering would be highly important to maintain average speed. Though no podiums were recorded for the Camberwell squad, the event nevertheless allowed the riders to develop their strengths and motivate each other to give all their effort.

Race 4 at Kinglake was a hill climb, but this season the track was much longer than last year’s Arthur Seat ride – and also featured a lower gradient. With rain beginning to fall, the groups were sent away in waves to give the riders a chance to work alone and focus on their own races. Senior boys performed well over the rise, with James Everard managing to sustain a high pace to the end and Zac Kelly passing many riders in his age group to advance his series standing. Alec McDougall, also new to the squad, but not to racing, showed he was more than able to take on his junior division opponents up the hill.

cycling

As usual, Round 7 consisted of two events; a team time trial and a criterium, both held at the Caribbean Gardens road course. The course would test all the skills amassed over the last two terms, with fast straights, hills and fast corners – all while riding in a group. Starting the morning with the time trials, Camberwell immediately proved stronger than they had at Sandown. Junior riders Sam Williams and Joel Cooray brought experience to both their

teams, working well to keep their fellow riders at speed. Chris Caragounis was also able to demonstrate his full ability in his new team with James Everard and Zac Kelly. However, the real breakthrough came with the Criterium races. Having started the morning 20 points behind Trinity, the gap began to crumble during the bunch rides. It was immediately apparent that the races would be quick, with riders working to grab much-needed positions and shake up the overall standings. Alex Guorgi did just that with an outstanding second place finish – having passed much of the field early on. His ride set an example that other Camberwell Grammar riders followed. Zac Kelly finished his season with yet another podium finish, which put him in second place overall in Junior A-grade. In senior B-grade several Camberwell boys were able to work together, with Peter Thorn showing an exceptional first few laps to get among the leaders. In the end, Alex Murray broke away from the bunch for another win, bringing himself up to first place in his division’s overall standings. With these results the Camberwell team was able to pass Trinity and achieve third place in the school’s competition.

On a different note, our team was sorry to bid farewell to Mr Nguyen. Having coached us on track and taught us at school for many years, his passion and dedication for the sport is the very reason we ride as a team today. For a long time he sought to implement cycling as one among the many summer sports on offer at Camberwell – and we are thankful for his efforts. Our best wishes are with Mr Nguyen and his family as they begin this new chapter in their lives. The cycling squad will continue to ride based on the example he has set. Next season, the boys have new competition to expect. A number of schools are set to come forward at the end of 2017 with full-season programs and stronger teams. Let us hope for a continuation of the performance Camberwell Grammar has displayed this time around – and trust that our success will continue. Alastair Haslam Captain

SPORT

As the year progressed, the focus on training shifted to tactical development. Monday and Wednesday sessions at Hawthorn Velodrome worked perfectly to simulate fast bunch riding for the junior boys. Here, they would learn when and where to attack – how to break away and control the race. This would be of great use to the team in Rounds 5 and 6, both Criterium races. Numerous attempts to assume the lead were made in the junior divisions, often taking place in technical sections such as Kew Boulevard’s hairpin and short hill. At Casey Fields, the track’s long straights and sweeping corners instead favoured power and drafting ability. James Stambe should be commended on his superb race at the high-speed track, as he was constantly able to hold a commanding track position. And in the senior division, Alex Murray was even able to speed onwards to secure a first place finish – putting him in striking distance for the class win at the season’s end.

“The Camberwell team was able to pass Trinity and achieve third place in the schools competition.”

First XVIII Football 2017 was always going to be a difficult year given a lack of depth within the Year 12 group and many of last year’s squad having left the School. Added to this was the knowledge that many of the other schools had several boys who played TAC and Vic Metro. The decision was made to appoint an outside coach who would be responsible for establishing a football program throughout the school and also coach the First XVIII. The successful applicant was ex North Melbourne coach Dean Laidley. From the very beginning there was renewed enthusiasm from the squad who quickly responded to the philosophy and coaching of Dean. Our numbers increased throughout the pre-season and, despite being a very young squad, there was some optimism for the year ahead, especially after defeating Yarra Valley in a practice match. Unfortunately, many of the sides we played were just too accomplished and talented and our lack of size certainly hindered us at times. There were several heavy defeats, but the highlight of the year was being ahead of

eventual Grand Finalists, Ivanhoe, with five minutes to go until they overran us. Next year is looking promising with more than half the squad returning, and some promising players from the Seconds and Intermediate sides to come into the team. The leadership provided in difficult circumstances, by Jake Purcell, Josh Norris, Anthony Stefanos and Harry Veitch were much appreciated. The boys certainly appreciated and enjoyed the coaching of Dean, who never wavered in his enthusiasm and he established a magnificent rapport with the boys. We certainly can look forward to next year with some optimism and hope. Mr Ken Schwab Teacher in Charge

Football Second XVIII Football

Intermediate B Football

From the first moment the Second XVIII ran onto the track, we knew we were in for a season. At training and on Saturdays, the boys applied themselves with a fearless vigour that speaks volumes about their belief in each other, and in themselves. We had an extremely successful season on the scoreboard, winning seven out of nine games, but the quality of our players was emphasised when faced with an opposition low on numbers. On such occasions we had no difficulty finding boys who would turn their jumpers inside out and play for the other side. Was it their preference? No. But they did it, and in doing so made sure everyone could have a meaningful game. It is impossible to list everyone who gave something to and for the team – look at the photo for their names. Everyone put in. But there are some who stand out – David Augustes, who was dominant at centre half forward, James Melville, who led the team with aplomb, Nick Wardlaw, whose skill at full back was a sight to behold.

The Intermediate B Football team had a very successful season in 2017. Starting off in the A division, bigger bodies and more skilful players got the better of us and we decided to move down to the B division to have a more competitive and enjoyable season. Our second game against Ivanhoe was a convincing win, bouncing back from a big loss. Our midfield, highlighted by Luke Kelvie and Nick Daicos, was unstoppable, dominating the centre clearances time and time again.

Finally, it is difficult to describe the atmosphere that the parents bring to the games. Thank you for your support and encouragement throughout the season. 2017 was a season to remember, and we look to the future with optimism thanks to the efforts of these boys.

We continued our strong form with big wins against Peninsula and Marcellin. Finnegan Weston starred kicking 8 goals over these two games, while very

handy performances by Josh Pollocks and Alex Wilson-Brown led the team to comfortable wins. Round five brought our first loss in the B division with arctic-like conditions at Assumption making it hard to win the football. James Balfour’s attack on the ball was sensational whilst Harley Beechey’s ruckwork kept us in the game. Our last game of the season was another great win against Marcellin’s other team with help from Lachlan Purcell, Max Inglis, George Kalargyros and Ryan Walsh returning from the Firsts. Harry Laukens newfound position in the backline made it hard for Marcellin to score all day. Special thanks to Mr Sofoulis and Beck for their incredible work throughout the season.

Thanks to excellent training drills by our Coach Will Cordner, the boys improved and enjoyed every week. Also, thanks go to a strong leadership group including Alistair Henderson, Ryan Albert, Jay Assauw and Tom Nicholson. We all enjoyed every minute of our football this year.

Intermediate C Gold Football SPORT

It was a long season for the Intermediate C Gold team with one victory for the season. This didn’t stop the boy’s enthusiasm towards training and matches with a huge improvement clearly on show when it came to the last match, with a few boys earning a call up to the Intermediate B team after a strong showing at training and on match day. There were plenty of positives to take out of the season with all students improving their skills while earning their one victory against our fellow Camberwell Intermediate C Blue team. At no stage did the boy’s drop their heads during the season and I’m sure that if these boys stick together and continue to play football at Camberwell Grammar School then they will have some success.

7/8B Football

The 8A Football team came up against some very strong opposition from other schools this season. We finished the season with only one win, unfortunately losing some close games. On a positive note, the team never gave up in any of the matches, showing great resilience and determination. It was fabulous to see how our skills improved throughout the year, both as individuals and as a team. We would like to say a special thanks to Mr Miriklis, our coach, and also Miss Hogg, our Assistant coach. They worked really hard all year trying to improve our skills and teamwork, and no matter what, they always had a positive attitude. It is sad to say goodbye to both of them for the rest of our football years at Camberwell.

This year the Camberwell Grammar School junior team was a combined team with boys from Year 7 and 8 involved. Overall, we had a good season – we started with a win and in the end came away with four wins and four losses. Over the season we lost a couple of players to the A team, but we kept competing and showed great team spirit. Throughout the season we showed improvement, especially in our ball skills and our tackling. We were at our best when we played on quickly and used handball to move the ball from end to end.

7A Football Congratulations 7A Football team on our 2017 Best Team Award. This was well deserved as we all improved individually and collectively as a team. I could not imagine playing with a better group of people as we all interacted well and enjoyed each other’s company. We had some good wins throughout the season and these were; PEGS by 82 points, Peninsula by 32, Ivanhoe by 34, Marcellin Maroon by 52, Yarra Valley by 19, Marcellin Blue by 19 and Mentone by 58. The hardest game we won was against Assumption, I remember going into the rooms at half time and everyone was shocked that we weren’t in front. We came out in the second half determined to improve. We played tighter on our opponents and used the ball more efficiently, allowing us to win by 24 points. The team only had one loss, and that was by two points, to Trinity. With one minute to play, Harrison Haintz took a brilliant contested mark in the forward line 30 metres out and on a tight angle. He kicked the ball cleanly, but unfortunately the breeze pushed it into the post and we ran out of time for any further shots on goal. Congratulation to all the award winners. Thank you to Mr Beardsley and Michael Talbot for coaching us this season, I know all the boys enjoyed being coached by you. Also, thanks to our parents and in particular, Dean Sapolu, for being the best team manager, making sure that each game we had a goal umpire and taking important statics. Ben Grlj Captain

Most Valuable Player Futsal Blue MVP: Michael Lewise

Entering their first Futsal season the 2017 Camberwell Gold team’s development and performance was memorable. Whilst initially the lineup was inexperienced, the expert coaching from the internationally renowned Futsal Coach, Jack Dugonjic and his assistant, Godwill Soma, significantly developed the team’s game strategy and skill level. There were two outstanding goal scorers for the season: Tu Truong (MVP) and Byron Wu (Most Improved). The defense lineup was enhanced thanks to the efforts of Nicholas Tran, David Roberts and Jonathan Chen, and this became more impenetrable over time. Jacky Chen, Alan Zhou and Colin Chen all performed well, helping read the game and maintain ball possession.

The season started off with our closest result for the season, being beaten 3:2. All the team tried extremely hard when they were on court but unfortunately our strikers of Michael Tan, Joe Chen, Jordan Thai, Nathan Magdanis and Rashay Kotecha could not hit the back of the net often enough for us to win.

Blue Futsal Decisive victories in the first two games marked the Blues as early premiership favourites for 2017. Although the team suffered a close 2-1 loss to a determined Camberwell Gold, the team won all remaining games under the expert guidance of Coach Jack Dugonjic. All games produced bold defending by Linus Cheung and Shashank Rathor, accurate passing between Nelson Lau, Alexander Kyriakos and Lachlan Thompson, superb goal scoring from striker Michael Kwan, and outstanding work from goal keeper Michael Lewis. Michael produced some of his best saves of the season in a man of the match performance in the final, won by the Blues 4-0 against Trinity Green. Sean Chen, Robin Yang and Matt Mutavdzija chimed in with important contributions during the season. In eight 2017 matches the Blues scored 51 goals and only conceded only ten. Top goal scorers were Lachlan Thompson with nine, Alexander Kyriakos with eleven, and Michael Kwan with an outstanding 19 goals. Alexander Kyriakos Year 11

Our team had a number of highlights: wins against both CGS Mitre and Blue teams; however, the most satisfying match was against Trinity with a 13:1 victory! Congratulations to the whole team on a great season, and for being willing to try a new sport. Last, but not least, a big thank you to Ms Jennifer Turnnidge for organising and supporting us, as well as scoring every game with good humour! Sepehr Tahmasebi Year 11

Our defenders in Nathan Chong, Jack Jaynes and Jonathan Tang (interchanging every now and then with our attack squad) tried valiantly to keep the ball from getting through the goalie, Darcy Eccles. Darcy was tested often by the opposition teams and did well to keep the scores as low as he did. Many of these players will get another chance in 2018. Mr Mike Cody Teacher in Charge

Crest Futsal The team entered the season as underdogs, but as the season wore on, Camberwell Crest quickly silenced all its doubters. Despite taking the first bye and coming away with a narrow first win, the boys rallied to produce a valiant effort for the remainder of the season. The highlight was definitely the final match of the season, against fellow rivals Camberwell Gold. The first half provided little opportunity due to poor skill execution, with the score being 1-2 at half time. However, Captain Samuel Jiang’s motivational half-time speech The Camberwell Grammarian 2017 |

Futsal sparked what was the start of a great comeback. The boys found a new gear, and were able to play aggressively, with Richard Yuan scoring his first goal in a crucial moment of the game. Opportunity after opportunity, shot after shot, the team finally came away with a victory of 4-2, capping off the season in style.

SPORT

Kevin Wang and Nicholas Wu played well throughout the whole season, helping the team immensely by creating opportunities in a manner uncannily alike to Andrés Iniesta and Xavi. Of particular note was Matthew Harrison’s performance as goalie; known as “the wall”, he saved goal after goal, helping the team secure many victories. Samuel Jiang’s lethal right boot was displayed in many matches, ending the season as leading goal scorer, with 13 goals in total. The team consisted of Richard Yuan, Henry Liu, Jacky Huang, Shaun Wong, Nicholas Wu, Nicholas Bea, Kevin Wang, Matthew Harrison and Samuel Jiang. The Crest boys were rewarded for their hard work at training sessions, ultimately finishing the season third. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our coaches who helped us improve tremendously, and Ms Janet Sharman for her support throughout the season. Samuel Jiang Year 12

First XI Hockey Camberwell Grammar Hockey looked poised to take out this year’s premiership, with numerous players ready to stand up and lead. Despite having an extremely young team the boys rallied through individual brilliance to win match after match. Ben Niemandt improved out of sight in the goals to show his prowess in stopping any shot that came near him. With Charlie Harper and Nick Gooden battling every match to see who could score the most goals and Alex Chauhan stopping any player that took him on in defence, Camberwell blitzed through the home and away season undefeated and scoring at least six goals in every match. Unfortunately, the dream season was cut short with a loss in the semifinal to Ivanhoe Grammar, knocking us out of the finals race. The boys persisted, however, to show determination in beating Trinity to place third at the end of the season. The future looks bright with the 7As and the 8As remaining undefeated throughout their seasons.

HOCKEY

hockey The Seconds had a very successful season, finishing a creditable third in the AGS. The season started slowly but the team rapidly came together to play effectively in both attack and defence. The half line of Nick Barnes, Ethan Chai and Justin Shao formed a solid line that all but the best teams were unable to penetrate, and if ever they did William de la Rue and Andy Chen were on hand to deal with any attacks. In goal Jack Jia was an immovable object stopping all but the most determined attacks, and winning a crucial penalty stroke in one of the final matches. A strong team of attackers, led by Michael Donaldson and supported by Vignesh Alagappan, Beau Frawley, Cameron Miller and Daniel Pham, scored at will in many games. Michael Donaldson shone as the leading goal scorer, with Ethan Chai as the best overall player. Mr John Tuckfield Teacher in Charge

Third Blue Hockey This season saw the Thirds Blue Hockey team gain admirable results, with only a single loss and a single draw offsetting a series of four decisive wins! In battling Ivanhoe, Mentone, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School and Yarra Valley respectively, our lads scored two goals to the opposition’s nil. The achievements of our team are all the more extraordinary, given that it undertook most games with a reduced number of players. Special mention must be given to two boys whose contributions were remarkable: Anthony Stewart, in playing hockey for the first time at the school, revealed a hitherto unseen talent and skill; and Matthew Perri, who dutifully and capably manned the goals for each and every match. Their efforts were certainly inspirational to their peers. Mr Sam Gough Teacher in Charge

Third Gold Hockey The Third Gold Hockey squad had a very successful 2017 season. When at full strength, the team’s speed and offensive ability, coupled with a solid defence and strong goalkeeper, proved unstoppable. This was highlighted in the 1-0 victory in an intense game against a very powerful Trinity side. However, a sometimes-low attendance to the games hindered the team’s performances, with several players often having to demonstrate their endurance and play backto-back games for both the Thirds Blue and Gold teams. Overall, it was an enjoyable season for all, with MVP awards being given to Jake Brown and Anthony Stewart. Anthony Stewart Captain

Led by coaches Angus Robinson and Mr Jones, the 9A Hockey team had an overall successful year. The boys got straight back into hockey mode after a long off-season and came out in the first few rounds firing, with forwards William Murray, Dylan Kitchener and Matthew Lewison providing valuable goal scoring opportunities. Matthew Chan and Chris Golz showed us what they were really made of, with stellar performances game in and game out, unofficially making them most improved.

“Despite having six Year 10 players in the First XI side, the 10A tea m enjoyed a magnificent season, not losing a single game”

10A Hockey Despite having six Year 10 players in the First XI side, the 10A team enjoyed a magnificent season, not losing a single game. The students gelled together under the guidance of coach Tom Edney and improved their set play structures over the course of the season. Most of the team’s dominance was established in defence where David Bennie, Max Ramm and Jack Amling combined effectively to develop a formidable defensive unit. This defence, under the guidance of goalie Josh Marino, only conceded one goal during the season. Best and Fairest Winner Dean Roff combined well with Sean Barry to control the ball well in the forward and middle parts of the field. The season’s highlight was definitely the victory over traditional rival, Trinity. The two teams were evenly matched and played a close, highly skilled contest. A determined Camberwell team was able to convert a penalty flick late in the first half and follow up quickly with a goal from a short corner. The second half was a nail biting affair with our strong defence managing to repel the Trinity team for a wonderful two nil victory. I wish all the team members the best of luck as they progress into the First and Second XI squads in 2018. Mr Matthew Christopher Teacher in Charge

9/10B Gold Hockey The 9/10 B Gold Hockey team had a challenging, yet rewarding season; The season saw an equal number of wins, draws and losses. The season finished particularly well, earning two wins, and scoring a draw against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School during the final week. All players showed considerable improvement over the season, and all responded very positively to feedback from their coach – in particular, learning to pass through the sides of the field, and around the opposing team’s players. Kieran McAuley was the star player of the season, acting as an excellent support with both strong defence and offence. Samuel Qi also receives an honourable mention for his consistently heroic efforts. All in all, players have gained valuable skills and experiences to draw upon in their future sports endeavours.

9/10B Blue Hockey The 9/10B Blue Hockey team had a great start to the season. With only one training session in their pockets, they beat PEGS 2-0. As the season progressed the team showed some flaws, losing and drawing close games that could’ve been won. Round seven saw the boys come back roaring, Tory Crosgrove, our MVP, held the backline strictly, leading to a well placed pass from Tommy Siu to Tony Chen for the winning goal. Sadly, the last game saw an unlucky loss as Ivanhoe was able to pull through at half time and the team wasn’t able to peg themselves back. Overall, the 9/10B Blue Hockey team made great strides across the seasons, not only improving their hockey, teamwork and gameplay, but also making lasting friendships. Tommy Siu Year 10

Midway through the season, we came across our first loss, to the hands of Trinity Grammar. With an especially tough opposition, the 9As put up a good fight, but not even state goalkeeper Declan Riley could stop the barrage of attacks that came his way. Coming off the loss, team morale was dampened, but with never before seen strategies from coach Angus, and Mr Jones’s vocal outbursts from the sidelines, we were back on track. Midfielders Angus Bosmans, Rhys Campbell, James Thorn and Sam Watson gave tireless running and key ball movement every round, with Thomas Ireland, Aleksander Rupar and the Tempany brothers leading from the back. Apart from driving one hour to Essendon only to have our game cancelled, the boys had a fantastic year with only one other loss. Good work boys! James Thorn Captain

8A Hockey 8A Hockey team had a fantastic season going undefeated for the second year running! All the boys continued to develop their hockey skills throughout the season despite some tricky early encounters. Facing a stacked Trinity team early in the season, we eventually prevailed 3-1, conceding our only goal for the season. The team enjoyed the season greatly and is looking promising going into Senior School. Well done boys! Mr Ken Da Costa Teacher in Charge

7/8B Blue Hockey The first round of the season called for the 7/8B Blue Hockey team to travel to Mentone Grammar School for an early morning match. While a few shots at goals were made, the opposition proved too strong and, in the end, we went down nil to three. Unfortunately, the next few rounds that followed also resulted in overall losses for the team. In Round 5, however, the boys doubled their efforts and were able to secure their first win against Trinity Grammar School. Although the rest of the season was relatively unsuccessful, the team managed to maintain a positive outlook and high levels of enthusiasm. A special mention to Joshua Lam, who received the Best and Fairest Award, as well as to some of the more experienced players like Hamish Campbell-Cowan, who helped guide those on the team who were newer to the sport.

7/8B Gold Hockey The 7/8 B Gold Hockey Team had a successful 2017 winter season with very strong wins throughout the competition.

7A Hockey Boasting one of the most talented and skilful squads in recent history, the 7A Hockey team enjoyed great success throughout the 2017 season. Those new to the sport were ably assisted by the experience from the many players who had a wealth of knowledge, and the team flourished. Unfortunately, our competition only had four teams in it, which meant we played each team three times. Two of our opponents were relatively easy, while the main competition came from old rivals, Trinity. The matches against Trinity were certainly the toughest, but the ones we wanted to win the most. While we drew with them once, we won our other two matches against them to remain undefeated with seven wins and a draw, and a significant goal difference. Mikey Hare, Ed Harper (Most Valuable Player) and Nico Bray, were standouts throughout the season. They consistently dominated the midfield, directed play and set up and scored many goals between them. They were well supported by the hard-running Ben Bosmans, Will Howell and Harry Trundle, while Liam Corr, Manhar Singh and Will Phillips were stalwarts in defence. The most pleasing aspect of the season was that the boys gelled so well as a team. Everyone experienced opportunities all over the pitch and developed their game to another level. It was an entertaining and enjoyable season and a pleasure to coach the team. Camberwell Grammar hockey will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming future! Mr Lachlan Crawford Coach

AWARDS Captain’s Cup – Senior Kayaker of the Year Cameron Martin Lizz Hirschoff Junior Kayaker of the Year Daniel Watson The Camberwell Kayaking Squad had a very successful 2016/2017 season with many outstanding achievements to be acknowledged. The season started in Term 4 with the Bendigo Cup, held over an October weekend at Bridgewater on Loddon. The squad also participated in the first ever inter-school friendly event, with MLC, Trinity and Camberwell paddling down the Yarra River from Fairfield to arrive at the MLC Boathouse in Southbank in a grand procession. With just three schools having a strong kayaking presence, the ‘Paddle to the City’ event was a fantastic initiative by MLC to build the camaraderie across the kayaking schools. At the end of Term 4, twenty-four paddlers participated in the Ben Ward Memorial 40 Miler race. The race is held over two days, which takes place along the Murray River in Yarrawonga and Cobram. The CGS B team won Bronze in the 64 kilometre event on the Saturday. On the Sunday, there was another shorter relay style event consisting of three ten kilometre legs in a circuit format. The Camberwell Grammar B team came in at second place, just five minutes behind the rival Trinity team which was a great effort. In Term 1, we had a total of eight new Year 7 kayakers join the squad who made an excellent start to the year and the entire squad worked hard throughout the season to improve their K1 and team boat skills. There were two major events in Term 1 starting with the Victorian Canoe Marathon Championships held over a weekend in Geelong in February. We had an 214

excellent turn out on the day and all kayakers performed with team spirit and enthusiasm. A special mention goes to Leo Yang and Eric Tang, who came in at second place in the Mens Under 14 K2 nine kilometre marathon race and to Rhys Campbell who participated in a Mens Under 16 K1 12 kilometre race on the Sunday, coming in at twelfth place at one hour and 20 minutes, an excellent effort. The last event for the season was held on Sunday 19 March and we had 23 competitors down at Lilydale Lake for the 2017 Victorian School Canoe Championships. The squad achieved some excellent results across both sprint and marathon races. A specific mention goes to Cameron Martin, Declan Woolf, Jacob Hunting and Harrison McEwen, who all won gold in the U16 and U18 TK2 races respectively. Congratulations also to Oscar Lu, Andrew Zeng, Rhys Campbell, Dylan Kitchener, Maxwell Boyle and David Thomas for winning Silver medals in their Sprint races. Oscar Tan and Bailey Stanley also won Bronze in the Mens

U16 TK2 Sprint. Overall, the whole squad made a fantastic effort for the event and should all be congratulated for their energy, enthusiasm and sportsmanship displayed on the day. The 2016/2017 was another successful season of kayaking for Camberwell Grammar School. Ms Braun and Mr Bunting must be thanked for the hard work, dedication and support they provided the squad. A special thank you also to the Captain Beau Frawley for all his work guiding and supporting the squad throughout the season. The support of the Friends of Kayaking, led by President, Mr John Campbell has been imperative to the strength of our squad. Thank you also to the head coach, and Old Boy, Robbie Aardoom (2003) and his coaching group for the efforts and commitment to the boys. Lastly, a huge thank you to all kayakers new and old for the determination and commitment displayed in training and all events this season. Ms Victoria Papaioannou Teacher in Charge

B: Michael Josefsson (Gold) Che McGuire (Silver) It is always no small task to return to the field after such a victory as the Camberwell Grammar Orienteering squad secured last year. Under the superb guidance of Dr Rodgers, Mr Wilson, Mr Williamson, Mr Warne and of course the estimable coaching of Mr Williams, the team’s hours of effort throughout the two terms paid off, and CGS was able to emerge victorious over traditional rival Scotch College for the first time last year since 1990. Although the result was not repeated this year, it was not for lack of trying. This year’s smaller squad was led by some superb runners, and the indefatigable efforts of the team as a whole are not to be discounted. Everyone put in their all, and, while the weight of numbers precluded victory this year, with the trophy reverting to Scotch, Camberwell was in it to the end, only coming in third to a commendably focused Trinity team with the results of the last competition of the season. The time and energy spent by the whole team cannot be overstated. Our runners dedicate the entirety of two whole terms in the hottest months of the year to honing their athleticism, endurance and skill. The squad could be seen every Monday afternoon and Thursday mornings at 7.30am (hardly a preferred time 216

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

for a run before school) training around the streets and parks of Canterbury, either warming up to or cooling down from Wednesday night’s competitions. Orienteering is more than just physical exercise – it is after all “cunning running,” and the weekly competitions bear this out. Our runners choose one of four courses, A through D, in which to compete, running the distance as quickly as possible in an hour’s margin while still managing to secure up to 18 of 20 controls, over a distance of as much as 10km for the senior runners in A-grade. The whole team deserves to be commended for their dedication to the sport and admirable sportsmanship both gracious in competitions and not begrudging in early-morning or after-school training sessions. In particular, the team was lucky to possess students who showed true focus and dedication to the credo mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body). Special congratulations to Vice Captain Matthew Kautsky, who was awarded Full Colours and had a superb performance in A-grade, coming in second overall by only 0.14. Congratulations also to Captain Michael Josefsson taking first overall in B-grade and receiving Full Colours, and to Nicholas Lee, Che McGuire and Charles Li (all 11), who all received Half Colours for their consistent effort and support of the team. Congratulations to the entire team for their superb effort this year, and the best of luck to all those taking up or continuing on with orienteering in the future. Michael Josefsson Captain

Orienteering During the Winter sports semester, I was fortunate to participate in MSD, or Multi Skills Development. Although we did not compete with other schools. During Monday after school training time, our coach (and old boy) Dante Sciessere patiently trained us in sporting skills. Not only that, but we also tried many different sports, such as basketball, futsal and table tennis. By the end of the week, we were all ready to go to the Gym. The School had invited a very good fitness coach (and another old boy!) Andrew Zagami and his partner Simone, who worked together to create a customised gym project for each of us, to allow us to work on and promote our individual physical fitness. After experiencing this semester, our physical health has visibly improved. I am very grateful to the School for providing us with such good teachers to help us. If I am able to, I will not hesitate to choose this very worthwhile sport again over winter next year.

REAL TENNIS learned the style of the game. From the curved heads of the rackets, to the various pieces of walls, galleries and penthouses jutting out over the court, Real Tennis was quite unlike anything we had ever done before. Even the ball had a surprisingly hard core, leaving several players nursing their wrists after training. However, this only added to the sheer joy of the game, and as we grew from trying to hit the ball to mastering the serve and chases. It has been described as the sport of kings, an archaic jewel, and a privilege to learn. This sport is not cricket, nor basketball, nor even croquet; I am talking about Real Tennis, or Royal Tennis for the more regal aficionados. While it may have only been introduced for the first time this year, it quickly drew up a healthy following within the School, as boys chose to spend their freezing Winter Sundays learning a new skill rather than sleeping in. Under the guidance of our coach and Mr Davies, the boys quickly adapted to and

After a few training sessions and table tennis warm-ups, we even grew to rallying and practice games, which were surely the highlight of the season. I would like to thank all the players for their hard work and dedication this season, as well as Mr Davies, without whom this opportunity would not be available. I look forward to next year, where I’m sure the sport will continue to thrive. Benjamin Chesler Vice Captain

This was the end of an era for a few families – for Tim Bilston, Miles Ormerod, Matthew James, and Thomas Finney it was their final inter-schools, all of whom have poured their heart into this sport since Year 7. Our Captain finished his last snowboard events in style, placing 18th and 23rd in the GS and Snowboard Cross events respectively, supported by the talented and beautiful Miles Ormerod placing 32nd and 23rd.

In cross-country, we had three competitors try their best in a very competitive event and their team ended up tenth overall. Tim Bilston came 23rd in his single event and Miles Ormerod came 31st. A shout-out to Benjamin Svikis who competed in the division above so that the boys could form a team of three. Overall, everyone’s effort to turn up to training and try their best has been really impressive all year and it will be a sad moment to see our lovely Year 12s go.

Fastest Mother: Lyndel Kennedy

Congratulations to all team members and thank you to the all parents and Friends of Snowsports for their ongoing support. The following awards were given:

Fastest Family: The Salins

The Division 1 Ski team all turned out respectable placings around the middle of the table for both their disciplines. The Division 2 Skiers in GS were led by Benjamin Svikis who finished 60th, closely followed by Benjamin Finney, who claimed 74th. The rest of the Division 2 teams, including Declan Woolf, Jacky Li, Aksel Salins, Max Howden, Eric Shishkin, and Aidan Oh all performed well. On the snowboard Declan Woolf gained an impressive position of 17th and 28th, closely followed by Sebastian Csutoros placing 41st, showing impressive results. In Division 3, a stand out performance by Arya Aminazad finishing 15th in both his skiing disciplines, shows the best result for any competitor this year. Ned and Cate would be proud.

Despite a young side, the First XI proved formidable this season. Unfortunately, the season began with three of the hardest opponents we would face during the year: Marcellin, Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School and Trinity.

First game away at Marcellin, the losing scoreline of 3-1, while disappointing given the perseverance and grit shown by the boys, was not a reflection on the rest of the season. Debutant Jasper Guthrie’s maiden goal was one of the game’s highlights. Our first ever AGSV match on the new KAO was in the second round against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, the defending champions. Their 2-0 win was contested with aggression and fight – especially from defenders Josh Cooper and Dean Christofilopoulos. The following match against Trinity for the prized Mitre Cup was intense and energetic. The score ended up 6-3 to the opposition; however, our passion and team spirit resulted in three goals, all of which were contenders for ’Goal of the Season’! Our first victory was achieved in the fifth round away at Yarra Valley, and an emphatic one at 4-1. While crediting the whole team, notable performances from George Kalas, Xander Simpson and Jack Fitzgerald contributed to the triumph. The highlight of the year was against then season leader, Ivanhoe. A direct free-kick by James Frampton and a set-piece run from Nathan Martin put us up 2-0 at half time. Unfortunately, Ivanhoe managed equalise in the final minutes of the match. Our ability to maintain a lead was proven in the last round-robin match against

SOCCER Peninsula. Great chemistry between our forwards George Kalas and Nick Angelopoulos contributed to the 3-0 score. Our first win at home on the KAO was recorded in the bottom-four playoff against Yarra Valley. The 3-0 victory was mainly credited to reserve goalkeeper Tom Masanauskas who cameoed as striker, with two goals in acrobatic style. Unfortunately, the final game did not go our way losing 2-1 to Mentone in what was an emotional match for the Year 12 leavers. Notable performances came from Ruarri Winkett and Christopher Han who controlled the match from the midfield. I am very grateful to have been the captain of such a talented yet determined team. Given their inexperience, the First XI squad was still able to work hard and defy the odds. I congratulate you all on a memorable season and I wish you success in the upcoming years. I would like to thank Joe Montemurro and Dr Khor for their commitment throughout the year; and Davide Bertamini and Harry Chalkitis for their involvement in the soccer experience at Camberwell Grammar.

Second Soccer Throughout a difficult first half of the season, Chris Kerdemelidis was quietly learning the trade of striking, showing exponential improvement every game. His blisteringly fast brace against league leaders Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School and, taking Camberwell to an unlikely draw, announced his arrival as a cunning goal conjurer. Goalkeeper Nick Goss was consistently high performing, earning him praise from opposition coaches all season. Two young French imports ignited the team in the second half of the year. Suddenly Camberwell began to dominate the hardest of opponents, winning every match for the remainder of the season. Special mention should be made of the rise of Leon Kapnias as a maestro, conducting the defensive orchestra, which completely shut down the most talented of attacks. Angus Watt pipped the rest of the team for Best Player this year. His tough, unrelenting style was on display every second of the season, whether up by three or down by five. The camaraderie formed by eventual triumph and shared growth will be long lasting for this playing group. Mr Nicholas Martin Teacher in Charge

Third Blue Soccer Our season began strongly, with an 18-0 win over a depleted Peninsula team - a great team performance to kick off the season. Our second game saw us play against a stronger and well-organised Mentone Blue team. The score line was much closer, winning 2-1. A great performance by Alexander Tong and Darren Liang ensured the win. Our next opponents were a very strong Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School team. We travelled there hoping to bring back a result. However, we experienced our first loss in windy conditions. Our goal keeper, Theo Gong, ensured the score line remained respectable. Trinity were next. This time we narrowly lost the match. Alex Chen was solid in defence and Justin Chan played well up front. After the mid-season break, the team seemed to have hit their peak early in the season break, and unfortunately didn’t win another game. Two close losses to Mentone White (2-1) and to Ivanhoe (1-0) saw us end the season with a mixed set of results. A big thank you goes to the coach, Irene, for her commitment and constant instructions from the side lines. Mr John Catanzariti Teacher in Charge 220

Third Gold Soccer The Open Third XI Gold soccer team was the most successful Camberwell Grammar soccer team this year – a golden season for us – winning all but one game. Lank number one, otherwise known as Will Exon, stopped many of the opposition’s shots throughout the season, with his body virtually stretching across the goals, while his partner in lank, Oscar Crittenden, led a prophylactic defence, including Mark Elnazak, Faisal Alshimirti (the slider), Finn McGrath, Daniel Jiang and Jonathan See, stretching but never tearing under the pressure of the opposition’s often relentless attacks –thwarting the disease of loss. Our midfield suffered the grave loss of Jack Graves early in the season, but Je-Rome Cheong, Liam Hynes (Coach’s Award), Wayne Wu, and Aidan MacLennan (Goal of the Season) filled the gap he left, instilling quantum uncertainty in the minds of the opposition’s defence. Kareem Shalabi, Aden Stitz (the goal-den maestro awarded Best Player), and Benny Yuan shot balls at the speed of light, deflecting many into the back of the net. The dominance of this team and its squad of legends will never be forgotten in the School’s history – next season’s squad has a golden reputation to live up to. Faisal Alshimirti and Mark Elnazak Year 12

Fourth Blue Soccer

Fourth Gold Soccer

This year we had a team that was willing to try their absolute best to achieve as many wins as possible throughout the season. There was not a game where we lost heart, and with only one defeat throughout the season, it would be fair to say that everyone’s effort within the team was exemplary. Every member of the team carried their weight, whether that be in the forward line, midfield, defence or as goalkeeper; every player’s part proved to be crucial as the season progressed. I would say that as a team, we experienced continuous improvements, learning from our mistakes and really developing as a very competitive team who seemed to hardly be threatened by any team by the end of the season.

The 2017 soccer season proved a successful one for the Fourth Gold Soccer team. It won more matches than it lost and, more importantly, did so with a buoyant team spirit born of a genuine delight in playing together. External coach Dean Goldstein proved a great favourite with the players, pushing them to the precipice of exhaustion in training in order to hone their skills. Team Captain David Tan, a left-footer, anchored the left wing, ably supported by towering Harrison Powell, fleetfooted Michael Papas and determined Will Taranto at midfield. At striker, Anthony Alateras proved an adept distributor of the ball, whilst Leon Young and Carson Hui roamed the field, scoring goals and also helping out at midfield and defence. Austin Tu, Colin Wang, Nicholas Tay and Danny Chen proved a difficult defensive back line for the opponents to penetrate, and Andrew Wu was exceptional in goal, saving many a sure strike from opposition attackers. Finally, the heroics of Dan Tran, whose scintillating ball skills helped net him a goal in our final match, should not languish unmentioned. Thanks to all players for a great season!

When it comes to stunning individual efforts within the team, there wouldn’t be anyone I’d leave out. Both Cian and Ethan were dominant in the forward line, always reliant and constantly providing the team with copious goals. In the midfield with Alan, Roger, myself, Justin and Mann, there was always motivation and effort put in to ensure a win every week. However, the defence of Steven, James Ho, James Zhu, James Leung and Raymond Li were often the game changers and arguably improved the most throughout the season. Likang Cheng also played a vital part in the team as goalkeeper saving countless goals to keep us in the tight games. Overall, the season was a great success, as we finished second on the ladder overall, making me feel very proud of all the boys and all of their efforts throughout the season.

Dr Tebb Kusserow Teacher in Charge

Intermediate A Soccer The Intermediate As finished the season with four victories, one draw and four losses from their AGSV fixtures. The losses came against Marcelin (twice) and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School (twice) who are always tough opponents. The best performance of the season came against Ivanhoe with a 3-1 victory on the immaculate KAO pitch. The attack usually comprised of three from Matt McKenna, Joseph Lai, Christos Kalas, Nathan DiCurzio and Jeremy Gassin, who all contributed many goals and assists throughout the season. The midfield three of Niko Verrios, Michael Dimatos and Lachlan Waycott all made valuable contributions throughout the season with Michael and Lachlan, in particular, improving as the season progressed. In defence, Jake Oh and Lewis Winkett formed an effective partnership in the centre which augurs well for the future. Two from Matthew Wu, Khalid Abbas and Kosta Froutzis filled the full back positions. Several of these players will be in contention for a place in the First XI next year. Finally, Ben Craigie was a reliable pair of hands in goal, making many important saves at crucial times throughout the season. Good luck to the Year 10 boys who have played Intermediate Soccer for two years now. Thank you also to Harry Chalkitis for his expert coaching and support throughout the season.

Intermediate B Gold Soccer Inter B Gold experienced reasonable success in terms of results, with three wins (Round 1 Peninsula, Round 7 Ivanhoe and Round 8 Mentone White) one draw (Round 4 Trinity) and four losses (Round 2 PEGS, Round 5 Marcellin Gold, Round 6 Mentone Blue, Round 9 Marcellin Maroon). However, the real success experienced this season is more clearly seen in the consistent competitiveness of the team, the development of an aggressive and unselfish playing style and the high level of skill, commitment and sportsmanship of each player. It was great to see our boys improve their skills and develop a playing style that was disciplined and exciting to watch; I am confident that many will go on to play significant roles in our senior teams in 2018. We are grateful to Kai Lee for his coaching and encouragement during the season, and to parents who supported us on the sidelines. Congratulations to our Captain, Thomas Graves, who was also our Best and Fairest Player and to Arman Cakmakcioglu who received the Coaches’ Award. All players should be proud of their efforts and achievements this season. Mr Simon Barry Teacher in Charge

Intermediate B Blue Soccer The Intermediate B Blue team had a rough start to the season with a 5-3 loss to the Mentone Grammar White squad. Although the Intermediate B Blue struggled through the season with majority losses, the team was determined and worked well together to develop their skills. Javana Jayawardena was a standout throughout the season, putting effort and heart into every game that he played. This was similar to Jacob Amirtharajah putting his best foot first as a solid defender. With many of the players finding their feet in soccer the team began to develop confidence, finishing this year’s winter season with a stellar 5-2 win against Ivanhoe Grammar. Mun Wah Chan Year 9

Intermediate C Blue Soccer

Intermediate C Mitre Soccer

This team of battlers managed only one win in the season, but always held their heads up high in defeat. Score lines often only told a fragment of the full story and the team enjoyed running out on Saturdays at the various AGSV locations.

The team had one of the most successful of all Camberwell soccer teams with six wins. The reason for such success was not down to a single player, but more to the effort of each team member and the role they played within the group. However, there was no doubt some noteworthy performances. Peter Zhao was extraordinary in goals – often denying the opposition with dives and second-efforts that frustrated the opposition, but gained plaudits from all, including the referees. Max Whittle, Harry Tang and Roy Wang were tenacious in their contests around the pitch. Often the hard work in the backline and centre field ended with goal-scoring opportunities for the pace of Kai-Si Tan to burst into space up forward. He was ably supported by Sam Kabourakis and the fancy footwork and powerful drives of Ethan Tang on the left wing. It was a pleasure to watch the boys play to their capacity and support each other in such a positive manner throughout the year.

Special mention must be made of a few players who stood out from the pack. James Burrows was a redoubtable and surprisingly agile goalkeeper who leapt, salmon-like, to curb the impact of opposition shots on target. James, deservedly, won the ‘Best and Fairest’ award. Another high impact player was Ziggy Englander who always gave each game his all and often disrupted opposition attacks and turned play around to create chances for our strikers. Others are too numerous to mention but the team developed nicely over the course of the season and, had it continued, would have had a few victories in future matches.

Intermediate C Crest Soccer The Intermediate C Crest Soccer team showed astounding teamwork and resilience throughout the season. The team came such a long way. From the start of the year, we were a group of boys who hardly knew each other, but towards the end of the season, we became a fully functioning team producing excellent results.

Lachlan Evans, the top goal scorer, showed his blistering and clinical finishing to lead the team in attack. James Garnham, Christian Ling and Harry Senior were essential parts of the midfield, all building up attacks and stopping the opposition’s plays. Daniel Iacobucci and Bailey Stanley did exceptionally well in defence, stopping some very important attacks considering the pace and strength of the attackers, they also did an incredible job

Intermediate D Blue Soccer This season the Intermediate D Blue Soccer Team maintained nine rounds of strong results. Fresh off our great winter season last year, the boys were very eager to kick off the season. Even though we lost some key players and coaches, we got some new recruits and Ms Crockett, and this season we knew we were on a mission. Our first game was a great display of our dominance and experience on the pitch as we won 6-1, with Philip Alex scoring four goals. This resulted boosted the squad’s confidence to strive for a great season. The overall season was surrounded by positive outcomes with the team winning six games, drawing one and only losing two. The parent support was immense for our team and really helped the boys every weekend. Highlights this season would include our blistering attack, which saw us net a lot of goals, the countless nutmegs and team spirit. Overall, this season was great. We set out many goals: to win, to have fun, to build relationships. But all in all through the season we were able to grow and develop as a collective unit.

blocking many shots, making William Li, the goalkeeper’s job much easier. William made some crucial saves to keep the team in many games. Many thanks to Mark Antonopoulos for his valuable guidance and support throughout the season as our coach, and sometimes one of two supporters for the team on those long,

dreary bus rides to Assumption and Peninsula. The other supporter was Ms Sarroff who showed great support and encouragement. Overall, the team played an exceptional season and every member should be very proud of themselves. Emmanuel Marcus Best and Fairest Winner

Intermediate D Mitre Soccer The commitment and determination of Intermediate D Mitre Team this season were impressive, that ensured many wins. The team’s goalie, William Yang, guaranteed low scoring goals from the opponents. The whole team played relentlessly in each game, regardless of the score. The captain, Andrew Chew, showed excellent leadership by consistently encouraging the team. The following players need to be mentioned for their tenacity and persistence: Sam Leong, Ming Jin Low, Joshua Soo (scored many goals),

Anthony Tano, Lucas Thermos, Coulston Waycott (scored the goal of the season), Harvey Xiao and Steven Xiao (also scored many goals). The team would also like to thank their coach from Chile, Gonzalo Miranda, who provided skilful training sessions and insightful tips during our games. The team had six wins, two losses and one draw.

8A Soccer The 8A Soccer team displayed great endeavour and commitment on the way to finishing fourth this season. There were many hotly contested games with some excellent results early in the season that had them pushing for a top two position. Unfortunately, due to injury and unavailability in the last few games, the team fell short in some important matches. With four wins and a draw, the boys can be proud of their efforts. Blake Pearson had an outstanding season as captain, playing some consistently good soccer each game and displaying great leadership on match day and at training. He was well supported by Jack Hu, Mason Pearson, George Kocalidis and Themistocles Kapnias. Nicholas Taranto improved every game and popped up with some important goals at clutch times. A big thank you to Harry for his positive and enthusiastic approach to coaching the team throughout the season. Mr Craig Conlan Teacher in Charge

8B Blue Soccer The 8B Blue Soccer team showed a high level of skill and comradery in this winter season filled with highs and lows. We combined planned and well executed formations with our individual player strengths to create a team that became hard to defeat. Our season had a rough start with the first two matches against favourites Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School and Trinity who overran our side, leaving us with a 0-7, 0-8 defeats respectively. 8B Blue consequently hit our training sessions hard forming us into a final contending team.

This all paid off in Week 3 with our team destroying Mentone 8-1; our whole forward line scoring. We powered through the rest of the season, winning matches or having tight matches that only improved our gameplay. We finished our season by defeating our rival Camberwell team in a close, hard fought 1-0 win and gaining some bragging rights. Well done to the team as we all played exceptionally well every match. Special mention to Max Randall (MVP) and William Nguyen for receiving the Coach’s Award. Another special mention to Kat for her excellent coaching and Mr McManus for passionately leading our team as the teacher in charge. Nicholas Wade Acting Captain

8B Gold Soccer The 8B Gold Soccer Team experienced a season of mixed fortunes in 2017. After some heavy defeats in the earlier rounds of the season, the team continued to learn from their errors and apply focus to their training efforts. Gradual improvement was noted each week and in Round 5, the team enjoyed an impressive victory against Mentone. This seemed to signal an emergence of new-found confidence that saw momentum build in the team’s approach. Responding to the urgings of their coach Sam Pastellas, 8B Gold continued to improve their execution in each match, winning a further two games and at all times remaining competitive. The team looks forward to building further upon this in 2018. Mr Roger Devine Teacher in Charge

8C Blue Soccer The 8C Blue Soccer team felt like a natural evolution of its predecessor, 7C Blue. There were a lot of new faces, but at the same time, a lot of improved skill. As the season progressed, everyone was able to cover each other’s shortcomings, creating a well-rounded team. The group didn’t quite have the finesse the A and B teams possessed, but nevertheless was able to perform well. Everyone was also able to develop and hone their skills, and by the end of the season, play their best so far. Despite all the ups and downs throughout the season, everyone managed to keep the enthusiasm and school spirit Camberwell Grammar is known for. The season was without a doubt a challenge, but through the eyes of the team members, it was still looked upon as fun. Special mentions go to Hayden Whiteford, for winning the Best and Fairest Award, and Hugo Fry, for winning the Coach’s Award. Hayden Whiteford Captain

Soccer “It has been an amazing season, where the team has grown in skills and become a united team.”

The 7A Soccer team has come together and become a well-oiled and cohesive group of players. The opening match of the season saw Jeremy Lim put on a great spurt of his trademark speed and kicked our one and only goal in the first minute of the game! Everyone was very excited; however, the start of the season was very challenging with some disappointing losses. As the season continued, our coach Boris started to build a cohesive and supportive team. It wasn’t until our fourth game against Marcellin that we finally achieved success. What a hard fought and exciting win. Hayden Newman kicked a fantastic penalty goal right when we needed it and the momentum went our way. The opposition went on the offensive and the team’s defences were put to the test.

8C Gold Soccer The 8C Gold soccer team had a fairly good season, everyone learned something new, improved their soccer skills and most importantly, had fun. Coach Max sets us drills during training, to improve our athletic ability and our game sense. The amount of effort we put into training, would often reflect how well we played that weekend. The first half of the season was mostly uneventful in terms of winning games. We lost matches and drew in one game. The second half of the season started off well and finished well, we won every match in this half, due to maintaining our spirit and playing as a team. Some of the highlights of the season were: Kenny scoring a goal from the corner, Brandon’s header goal in the final match (the only goal), giving another school some of our players when their team didn’t show up and finally, the Spectemur Agendo spirit of our team. Kevin Chan and William Lewis Year 8

Benny Grayson stuck out his long legs and feet, stopping many balls from going back towards our goal. They defended brilliantly with everyone watching, counting down the time to the end. We went into our next match against Yarra Valley with confidence and the boys did not disappoint. Lewis Clarke started us off with a fantastic goal in the first minutes of the game after a wonderful pass from Jeremy Lim. Ethan Ensor scored a fine goal after many chances and Hugo Thornton starred scoring two goals, demonstrating excellent skills in removing the ball from the opposition. The boys played very well in the final match of the season. They demonstrated excellent footwork and passing to keep the game evenly poised throughout most of the first half. It has been an amazing season, where the team has grown in skills and become a united team. Ms Suzanne Jack Teacher in Charge

7B Blue Soccer This year has seen a season of consistently strong results and a great team spirit for the 7B Blue Soccer team. Placement on the field and efficient passing were a consistent focus in training and quickly became a hallmark of the team’s effective play. Yanning Zhang was highly effective in goal, a position that he maintained for the remainder of the season letting practically nothing past him. Charles Lewis was never shy of tackling physically domineering players and Kayson Wang showed great ball control. Jude Bachelet was a highly efficient striker and could be relied upon to score on every outing, supported by an ever-enthusiastic Anthony Zographos. Constant revision and

a reflection on the quality of their play, guided with great focus by our coach Nick, were instrumental in a string of winning outings. Nicholas Gazis, David Thomas and Zachary Kyriakos were a highly reliable and effective presence on the field. It has been a real pleasure coaching the team this season and the boys have made the most of training and matches to successfully hone their soccer skills. A special mention must go to the consistent support and enthusiasm of the 7B parents.

CGS Champion Richard Dardis All the CGS Squash teams had a solid showing in the 2016/2017 Summer season. The best performance was that of the Second team (Nicholas Gooden, Arman Cakmakcioglu, Oscar Balla and Cameron Miller), which completed the regular season undefeated and therefore qualified for the Division 3 grand final, where after a series of long rallies and controlled boasts they narrowly succumbed to a slightly more refined Marcellin First squad. The Camberwell First team had some tough competition in Division 2. Games against Trinity were of a particularly high standard, with ideal matchups allowing for very close and intense matches to be played, however, Camberwell often fell marginally short but managed to claim third place in the division. The Camberwell Third team played alongside the Second team in Division 3 and finished fourth following a close loss to the Trinity 3rds in the consolation final. The younger teams all played in Division 4 and attained the final positions of fourth, fifth and seventh. A standout performer was Kai Sapolu, from Year 7, who went through the season undefeated, and showed great potential for the future. The final weeks of the season involved the top ten seeds playing off for the annual CGS squash championship. Results from the round robin stage brought a championship matchup between First team number one seed Richard Dardis and number two seed Kevin Luo. The match was an intense and gruelling contest for both players, and ended with Richard winning in two sets. Many thanks to teachers, Mr Jones and Mr Pountney for their support and co-ordination throughout the season, and good luck to all squash players in their future competitions. Richard Dardis Captain

SPORT

First VI Table Tennis The First Table Tennis team returned to the season hopeful to defend their premiership for the third year in a row. With the introduction of Year 11’s Jacky and Jonathan Chen, as well as Year 12 Yat So, the first half of the season easily went Camberwell’s way defeating PEGS, Peninsula and Trinity 13-2, 15-0, 13-2 respectively. After the break this momentum only doubled. The completion of the new state of the art Sport Centre allowed the team to train in prime conditions and gave them a true home advantage when playing against other schools. Nathan Shi, Ethan Tang and Michael Tan continued their dominance, not dropping a single match in the lead up to the finals. Bryden Tan continuously fought hard each week to improve himself, resulting in several epic comebacks in which he emerged victorious. Contrastingly, Vice Captain Daniel Jiang played with the same finesse that he has had throughout his four years in the team, tactically dismantling his opponents through speed and precision. Yat So’s spin and quick reflexes helped him gain succinct and decisive victories. Whereas Jonathan Chen, the team’s sole pen-grip user not only allowed the team to train against different techniques, but bamboozled his opponents in matches who were not used to his relentless playing style. Similarly, Jacky Chen also confused his opponents through his perfectly controlled serves, often obtaining aces alternating through his short side-spin serve and long serves down the line. With clean victories leading up to the final, the team felt a confidence reminiscent of last year, however all was not as it seemed. Mentone Grammar School who had previously lost 8-7 to Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, made a huge turnaround, winning 11-4 in the semi-final, demonstrating their skill and hunger for the premiership. At the same time, Camberwell’s Nathan Shi did not play in the final, reducing the team’s overall strength. However, full of determination, the team rose to the occasion and reached new heights in order to combat Mentone’s incessant approach. The first round of singles Camberwell led 4-2. However, the second round was a nail biter. In order to win the tournament, Camberwell would have to repeat the first round 230

and win four out of the six rubbers again. Early wins went to Bryden Tan and Ethan Tang but this was equalised by Mentone fighting back winning two of their own rubbers in closely fought matches. The last two matches were both arduous five setters. Jacky Chen played with great determination to come back from an 8-2 down fifth set against Mentone’s sixth seed whilst Michael Tan made a 2-1 comeback to win against Mentone’s second seed. They had managed to pull ahead of Mentone eight rubbers to four. Following this, the team played with renewed enthusiasm throughout the doubles winning 3-0, 3-1 and 3-2, ensuing their ultimate victory, defeating Mentone 11 rubbers to 4, 39 games to 20.

to Alan Zhou, Edward Tan, Thomas Choi and Howard Yang for their outstanding plays.

On this day, the team managed to snare Camberwell’s 15th premiership in 23 years of AGSV Table Tennis – a formidable record indeed. Many thanks to our Director of Sport, Mr Watson, and Simon Gerada at HWATT for developing a culture of commitment and teamwork that is bearing fruit with player development across all levels of Table Tennis at Camberwell Grammar School.

Thanks to Simon, Joe and Will for all their coaching support throughout the season – now we are out of the PAC basement, the teams will no doubt continue to improve.

The Year 7 and 8 Table Tennis team achieved very pleasing results during the recent Summer season. There were 22 teams competing from six schools in the AGSV, with Camberwell having six teams and the highest participation rate of the competition. With 27 boys in the squad, table tennis continues to be a popular and competitive sport at Camberwell. Our First team won the most rubbers (83) of the competition but they were unable to secure a top-of-the-table finish due to a narrow loss to PEGS’s First team in Round 3. In the end, we were equal on points but the narrow win/loss difference gave PEGS the top spot on the ladder.

Second Blue/Gold/Mitre Table Tennis The Second Blue Table Tennis team had a successful 2016/2017 summer season with seven out of eight winning throughout the competition. Camberwell posed as a highly skilled and determined team. Special mentions go to Alexander Tong, Jordan Thai, Nicholas Wu, Aiden Mellor, Justin Lee, Joel Robinson, Ryan Chow and Kingston Weng, but overall the team played a fantastic season with everyone contributing to its success. The Second Gold Table Tennis team also had an amazing 2016/2017 season. Students demonstrated skills and developed very good teamwork. The hard training paid off with the team winning seven out of eight games. All players did their best over the whole season, with notable players being Henry Wu, Justin Chan, Sam Yu and Pei Hua Liu and Jeffrey Liu. In comparison to other seasons, this was the most successful by far. With our very own brand new sporting facilities this second half of summer season, the Second Mitre Table Tennis team played exceptionally well, seeing six out of eight wins, an excellent effort from the team. All boys played with enthusiasm and consistency, dropping very few rubbers overall. Special mentions go

9 and 10 Table Tennis The season ended splendidly for the four Year 9 and 10 teams, with Division 1 not losing a match all season and finishing on the top of the ladder. In Division 2, the Blue team had similar success, whilst the Gold team also won the majority of their matches. After a very poor start at the end of last year, the Mitre team lifted significantly and even managed a few wins. The new Sport Centre at Camberwell was no doubt the mitigating factor!

7 and 8 Table Tennis

The Second team also played consistently well, finishing second overall in points (sixth on the ladder) and winning six of their nine matches. The Third team also performed well to come third overall in points (seventh on the ladder). Our new Year 7 team members commenced playing at the beginning of 2017 and had an immediate and positive impact on the squad, helping to noticeably raise our performance levels in training and on match days. Our best player this season was Eugene Goh, who won 92% of games played. Other top performing players were Jayden Thai, Jackson Li, Ryan Le, Max Randall, Daniel Seow, Justin Fu and Victor Loo, who all won over 70% of their matches. Many other players continued to show noticeable improvement over the course of the season as they worked hard during training and on match days to develop the skills passed on by our excellent coaching staff. We thank our Year 8s for their contribution to the team over the past two seasons and wish them well as they continue playing Table Tennis in Senior School. Thanks also to our coaching staff, lead by Simon and Joe Gerada, for their expertise, patience and professionalism throughout the season. Mr Simon Barry Teacher in Charge

This year was the Squad’s fourth year. The move to the new Camberwell Grammar School Gymnasium from our old dojang at Booroondara Martial Arts Centre meant that the size of the squad was no longer constrained by the limitations of a 25-seat bus. This year the squad grew to 31 members. Training commenced at the start of Term 2 and culminated with a display on Open Day in October. During this period, most Jeja (students) completed two gradings, with the novices obtaining their eighth Gup (yellow belt with two stripes) and the longest continuing members achieving their red belts. The squad now also includes three black belts. Over the season, the novices and junior belts developed their understanding of basic Taekwondo stances, punches, kicks and patterns. After several weeks training, and practice they were graded and progressed on to the next belt level. The higher ranked members undertook advanced self-defence training, including grappling and throwing techniques. They also tried their hand at koepka (board breaking). The squad has also participated in a pilot research project conducted by Monash University into the benefits of Taekwondo on student learning. The main aim of this study was to explore the ways in which Taekwondo has been integrated into a school sports programs schools in Melbourne to gauge the benefits of the program for student participants in relation to learning, health and wellbeing. It was another successful year for Taekwondo at Camberwell Grammar School. The Squad greatly appreciates the support provided by Mr Barry Akehurst (sixth Dan Black Belt) who oversaw the training, and it looks forward to consolidating their achievements under his guidance, next year as well as forming stronger partnerships with other schools’ TKD squads.

First VIII Tennis The 2016/2017 season was a great success for the boys. The squad was one of the most experienced teams in recent times with Ben Yep (Captain) having played in the Firsts for five years, and other highly ranked players, four years. Two new recruits, Mathew Lim and Isaac Hui made their debuts. The team played eight matches in the regular season for five wins, thereby finishing fourth on the AGSV ladder, the best result in several years. For the first time, the tennis competition played semi-finals, for which Camberwell qualified. Ben Yep was selected in the AGSV representative squad and, befitting his long and distinguished service, named Vice Captain. Outstanding performances for the year also

included: Projit Banerjee who won the Most Valuable Player award for consistent singles (5/7) and doubles performances (10/16); Byron Wu who was undefeated in the number five position in the regular season and easily the most improved amongst the established players; and newcomer Isaac Hui who won 7/8 singles games against more experienced and stronger opponents. Camberwell farewells Ben Yep, Projit Banerjee, Alek Harper and Anthony Giang, all in Year 12. Their contributions for many years have been highly valued. In addition Mr Peter Owen is thanked for his expert guidance throughout the year. Mr Manfred Pietralla Teacher in Charge

Second Tennis The Second Tennis team enjoyed consistent success throughout the season, winning most of its matches. The players demonstrated sound team work. Their skills improved over the season, thanks to the dedication of their coach, Ed, from Top Tenn. I would like to highlight the contributions of the following Year 12 students, Kevin P Wang who was awarded the Most Valuable Player, Simon Ravenhill, Jack Jaynes and Adrian Xu. They will be sorely missed in 2018. Ms Robyn Crockett Teacher in Charge

Third Blue Tennis The Third Blue Tennis team had an interesting season and mixed results. Injuries plagued team members who were desperate to play. Half way through the season, we lost our top seeded

TENNIS player who was promoted to a higher level team. Even though in some of our matches we had fewer than eight players turn up, those who played were courageous enough to win their games, enabling us to keep the final scores close. Our team comprised of Oliver Anderson, Nicholas Baker, Dhruv Deshpande, Jack, Jia, Alexis Kanatsios, Michael Lewis (who filled in when we lost our top seed), Ethan Liu, Aidan MacLennan and Philippe Phan. The doubles duo Aidan and Nicholas won all but one of their doubles matches. For some of these boys, it is their last time representing the School for the summer matches. Our best result of this season was defeating Peninsula by 12 sets to 0 and 72 games to 27. Most Valuable Player was awarded to Alexis Kanatsios. Ms Antoinette Emenyeonu Teacher in Charge

Third Gold Tennis The Third Gold Tennis team faced insurmountable odds from the start of the season. The reasons for this varied, however, during the same sad time, a maturity and growth developed within the close group of boys. Playing for Camberwell Grammar School seemed to be all that was on the minds of this fine team of co-operative and supportive players. This said, the boys were soundly defeated for the first four weeks of the year, yet still, their enthusiasm and determination did not wane. For the team, Jay Tee was a stand-out, winning four of his singles rubbers in tightly contested matches, then combining to win three of his doubles fixtures. He was ably supported by the statesmanlike Faisal Alshimirti, and the more get-on-with-it Charles Huang did just that! To all of the boys in the Third Gold Tennis team, congratulations on persevering with the season with spirit, goodwill and sportsmanship.

10A Tennis David Zhou, played a very close singles match against Mentone, only just winning.

Third Mitre Tennis The Third Mitre Tennis team enjoyed a somewhat successful season, recording three wins and some very close defeats. Players approached matches with poise and many showed pleasing improvement throughout the season. Special mention must be made of our first-seed player Samuel Jiang, who lost just one singles encounter during the entire season. Samuel was awarded the team’s Most Valuable Player. Despite the early morning starts, the boys trained with focus in their before-school sessions and built a good level of rapport with one another. Mr Roger Devine Teacher in Charge

Fourth Gold Tennis The Fourth Gold Tennis team had a mixed season with a few wins and losses. All matches were played in the true Camberwell tradition of determination and respect for the opposition. The matches were difficult, but there were certainly some individual and doubles highlights that were memorable. In Round 2, an excellent doubles match against Trinity, from the number one pair on the day, Dean Kyriazopoulos and Darren Lu. Also, in the last round, a strong performance in the doubles against Ivanhoe, by Emile Akbarzadeh and James Ho. In addition, 234

The whole team showed enthusiasm and commitment, even though there were more losses than wins during the season. Mrs Helen Papageorgiou Teacher in Charge

Fourth Mitre Tennis The Fourth Mitre Tennis team played well over the course of the season, winning all but one of their AGSV matches. Their only loss came at the hands of the other Camberwell Fourth team. Isaac Guorgi and James Tran were usually the first pair and they consistently achieved impressive results against strong opponents. The team’s strength was the quality of the middle seeds, who often made the difference during close matches. Nick Tran, Colin Chen, Steven Connelly, Jake Brown and Dan Tran usually filled these positions. During the second half of the season, the strength of the team was boosted further by the addition of David Roberts and Hugh Williamson, who played some fantastic tennis. It was particularly pleasing to see the progress made by Alister Wong and Johnny Xu, who were always enthusiastic and involved in many close matches. Isaac Guorgi was awarded the Most Valuable Player award for his fine singles and doubles play, and his positive attitude throughout the season. Mr Mark Mews Teacher in Charge

The 10A Tennis team had a very successful season winning the Arthurs Cup in stunning fashion. After starting the season on a high, the boys just ran with it from there and never looked back, winning all their matches convincingly. With strong depth from the top to bottom ranks, it made it hard for opposition teams to challenge against the team. Thanks to all our coaches throughout the season who have improved the boys’ weaknesses and further developed their strengths. The student’s attitude towards training and games was excellent, turning up to early morning trainings with an attitude to get better in all parts of their game. Well done to Ryan Box who played each match as the number 1 ranking and worked extremely hard to keep that spot at training each week, showing great leadership and determination to better his ability. There were students who improved out of sight which only made the team stronger. Well done to all of the players on a great season and congratulations on winning the Arthurs Cup. Mr Jack Bell Coach

10B Blue Tennis The cancellation of the 10B Blue team’s first match by PEGS was an omen of the disjointed season to come. The first fixture against Mentone was slightly disorganised and patchy in poor weather, however 10B Blue acquitted themselves consistently well with some quality play from Oscar Tong, Aidan Chu and Henry Sutton. Peninsula was consistently outclassed by the boys in all singles and doubles matches and there were some pleasingly sustained rallies particularly in the singles matches where the boys were well challenged.

9A Tennis

A more balanced result sheet at the end of a season would be difficult to find – four victories, four losses and one match abandoned due to extreme weather. The team was well-serviced by Peter Lathouras and Coulston Waycott throughout the season, always taking on the best two players of the opposition teams and winning most of their matches. Equally impressive was the dogged enthusiasm of Tony Gu, rarely suppressing a smile as he demolished some of the lower ranked opponents. Of particular note in the season was the match played against Trinity, where Corey Lyu not only had a victory in his doubles encounter, but toiled earnestly to notch up his maiden singles victory for the School. Well done to all players on their conduct and sportsmanship throughout the season.

The 9A Tennis team had a very successful season. The team won all matches except the first round against PEGS. All players played well. Special mention must go to Tomas Ng, who won all his singles matches during the season. Other notable performances came from Alex Wilson-Brown and Nick Clark. The boys developed their skills in tennis during the regular training sessions at Deepdene. Mr Jonathon Davies Coach

There was some quality play from both Alan Jiang and Sean Ang. A midweek fixture saw the two CGS 10B teams closely matched and the boys enjoyed some competitive, but good-natured rallies, Joshua Choon acquitting himself admirably. Trinity was forced to forfeit two games but despite this, the two teams were well matched and there was some good play, particularly in the singles games, from Ryan de Kretser, Harrison Pham and Kevin Liu. Further weather-related cancellations meant that the team’s position in the rankings didn’t reflect either the quality of their play or the benefits of their training.

The 10B Gold Tennis team had a strong season only losing one of their matches. Consistency was key for the boys as shown by players Jeremy Gassin and Matthew Katsoulotos. Improvements from players Will Dancey and Darren Nguyen increased the depth in the squad as well as the competitive nature of Lachlan Brown and Jake Oh. New addition Joseph Grimley also starred as he slotted into the team line-up. One of the better performances of the team came against Ivanhoe as only one match was dropped, leading to a big win showing the team’s competitive attitude. The team also had fun as they won their matches. Well done to all players on this year of tennis! Divjot Walia Year 10

Despite playing some scintillating tennis games throughout the season, the 9B Tennis team was unable to close out matches, sometimes losing by just games. Nevertheless, the team under the captaincy of Matthew Wu continued to persevere finally breaking through on the penultimate round with a fine win against arch rival Trinity. The 9Bs followed up that win with another smashing win in the final week against a tough Assumption side. After the doubles, the match was evenly poised at two sets a piece, but our boys dug deep and came out fighting for their singles matches. Great to see Dean Christofilopoulos and Aidan Ooi reversed their doubles loss to win their singles! Great finish to the season and well done 9Bs!

It was a great effort overall by the 8A Tennis team winning seven out of nine rounds for the season. Although we recorded a couple of loses, the margins were minimal and the boys were very competitive. One round was particularly outstanding, winning against Mentone with the boys only dropping one set for the whole morning. The improvement from the team over the course of the season was outstanding and I would like to commend the boys on their good sportsmanship and behaviour. Well done.

The 7A Tennis team enjoyed a most successful season in 2017. We were undefeated in all five matches and several of the team were selected for extra training in the development squad. Despite our dominance in the competition all members of the team were gracious in victory and continued to strive for improvement in their training. 100% attendance at all training sessions and matches, combined with hard work and natural talent made this squad a happy, successful one. The future of tennis at Camberwell Grammar School looks bright.

Mr Moses Khor Teacher in Charge

The 8B Tennis team had a very successful and enjoyable season, playing a great deal of excellent tennis and learning a lot about the game. Our team was in the fortunate position of trialling a new and exciting format of play, which aimed to maximize the time spent on the courts. An admirable number of wins were achieved, most notably against Marcellin and Ivanhoe. Games were always played with our boys demonstrating excellent sportsmanship, competing most impressively in both their demeanour and their approach to the games. Zander Stojnic and Thomas Georges are to be commended for achieving the team’s Most Valuable Player Award and the Coach’s Award respectively. Congratulations to all members of the team on a very successful season.

9C Blue Tennis The 9C Blue Tennis team had a successful season of games and the students enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to improve their skills and game play strategies. They played eight competitive games and won four with some tightly contested games in all matches. They had strong wins against Ivanhoe and PEGS Blue. The match of the season was a high-quality contest against Trinity, with Camberwell coming away with the win following a tie-break won by Brandon Lee in the last game. The boys often faced strong opposition, but were determined to work hard in each point played. They are to be congratulated for their efforts this year and can be proud of their sportsmanship and application. Mr Brian McManus Teacher in Charge

9C Gold Tennis The season began on a strong note, with the boys narrowly securing a win over Ivanhoe Grammar School. Despite some close singles matches in Rounds 2 and 3, the opposition proved to be too strong for us and we ended up losing overall. Following on from this, the boys doubled their efforts and were able to win the next few rounds. Of particular note was the exciting round played against PEGS which, frustratingly, ended up in a draw. Although the final few rounds of the season ended in losses, the boys continued to play in good spirits and, overall, a lot of fun was had by all.

7B Tennis This year’s 7B Tennis team began the season with one of the longest treks possible; a trip to play Penleigh at Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. While few of the students knew each other, they were eager to claim the back seats on the bus. Consequently, by the time we arrived at Keilor the previously quiet group had become very chatty and animated. Throughout the season, these traits were also very evident at training sessions where they enthusiastically participated in activities, especially anything involving trying to beat the coach. Over the season, the team developed their skills, reduced their number of foot faults and improved their ability to accurately keep and call the score. They enjoyed victories against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School, Marcellin and Mentone. However, the highlight was probably playing on the JTO while Hamish and Andy were filming their new show out the front of Roystead. Both our players and the Marcellin opponents seemed more interested in the fact they had got a photo with Andy Lee, rather than the actual score. Mrs Kathryn Smith Teacher in Charge

7C Blue Tennis In 2017, the 7C Blue Tennis team had an enjoyable and successful season. Many of the boys were new to the school and a sense of camaraderie was quickly established. Several players proved to be quite experienced in the sport and allowed the boys new to tennis to learn from their skills. Overall, we had four wins and one loss during the short season. Almost every boy experienced at least one win and notable performances were made by Ethan Aw and Kevin Wang who won most of their matches. Roshan Patil and James Tomaras were excellent examples of sportsmanship, while Andrew Bishop, Alexander Newman-Thurlby and Colin Jiang approached each match with determination and good spirit. Hayden Wong won every doubles match he played and Allan Tang had many close calls. William Zhao learned a thing or two about tennis thanks to our coaches and an encouraging team. Ms Naomi Eckersley Teacher in Charge

7C Gold Tennis All students participated in their first season of Saturday sport with great enthusiasm and dedication. Players tried hard to improve their skills and although, there were no wins on the board, these boys should be commended for their sportsmanship and perseverance. With such a positive start to Saturday sport, this group of boys should continue to enjoy and learn from their chosen sports.

SPORT

Triathlon in 2016/2017 has grown with several new Middle School boys taking up the sport to test their fitness in a gruelling race once a month race. With Mr Collins on long service leave for the second half of the season, the boys were excited for Dr Smith, Mr Beardsley and Mr Allen to help lead them in Triathlon training. The Camberwell Triathlon Squad looked to improve on their placing last year in the School Sports Victoria Boys State Championship and compete fiercely with St Bedes College and Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School. In what was a tough season where many boys struggled with tumultuous swimming conditions in numerous races, the Camberwell Grammar triathletes showed their serious determination and persistence. Race One was a shock to all boys with the Brighton Beach looking more like Bells Beach than the usual calm Port Phillip Bay. The swim was cancelled for the Mini Distance race, allowing Charlie Harper to capitalise on this change in structure and emerge first out on the bike and produce the fastest ride time in his category. The sprint boys battled through the tough conditions with Nick Liew recording the fastest time for the Camberwell Grammar athletes, Peter Thorn took a step up and raced in the draft legal category and was the only Camberwell Grammar Triathlete to do so. He took advantage of the bike leg throughout the season being in the top five for the bike in almost all his races in his category. The triathletes in Years 9 and 10 were arguably the highlight of the season with Lachlan Waycott finishing fourth in his division, closely followed Charlie Harper. Will Bolton’s first complete season produced an impressive third place in his last race of the season and Harry Swingler’s first season in the longer sprint distance was awarded with an overall second place. All these results indicate a promising future for Camberwell Grammar Triathletes and we eagerly await the next triathlon season. Unfortunately, St Bedes were too strong in the School Sports Victoria Boys State Championship, however the boys must be congratulated for their persistence and determination in coming second overall. I wish all the boys good luck for their future endeavours in Triathlon.

First VI Volleyball During 2016/2017, the team endured several close losses, which meant there would be no finals. The season began with two strong wins, giving the team hope of a top four place. However, as time progressed, our opponents seemed to improve and perform at a higher level. Several five set losses broke the team’s confidence and the players found it difficult to recover. Regardless of all the practice games, training and the desire to win, the players could not find their early season form. Hopefully next season will be more successful and we can aim for a top four place.

9/10 Blue and Gold Volleyball Both the Blue and Gold Volleyball teams displayed wonderful camaraderie this year, supporting each other during training sessions and helping each other improve. Veteran players like Linus Opat, Daniel Shao, Henry Koswig and Christopher Kyriakos led the way with confidence; Ming Jin Low continued to wow everyone with his on-court leadership, his setting and his consistent defensive play; Liam Naser refined his serve and began to win Linus some points with it. The veterans were ably assisted by a number of impressive newcomers. Twin towers Mathew and Daniel Tempany, Frank Bite, Ethan Lack and Joel Connell were instrumental in scoring points from spikes and intimidating the opposition with blocks; Max Whittle’s quick scrambling for defensive digs and Sebastien Montemurro’s enthusiastic and inspirational play made matches enjoyable to watch.

7/8 Blue and Gold Volleyball Having two teams play in the 2017 part of the season made a great difference in allowing the boys to maximise their time on court and in the development of their skills. This produced some notable first time players such as Hugo Akse and Zac Kyriakos who each quickly became an asset to their respective teams in Blue and Gold. The support received from Christopher Kerdemelidis, James Tsolakis (Captain of Gold), Samuel Hardy (Captain of Blue) and Tom Sun often made a vital difference to the quality of the games and contributed to some of the key wins during the season. The willingness of both teams to help each other by acting as substitutions, which meant arriving early or remaining after their own games, was very much appreciated and in this capacity there were some outstanding moments from Ming Han Low, Chris Huang, Alex Zervas, Evan Giasoumi and John Williams. Jamie Kohlmann’s efforts during the season were very much appreciated, as were Will Wallis’. Combined, the boys produced two teams that have been a pleasure to coach and work with and I look forward to seeing them back for the next summer season and to watching them continue their development with a game they have come to enjoy.

The future of Water Polo at Camberwell is certainly bright with so many students keen to learn and play the game. Mr Hamish Meachem Teacher in Charge

AWARDS Open Water Polo Best and Fairest Christopher Kerdemelidis Open Water Polo Coach’s Award Likang Cheng For the first time at Camberwell Grammar there were four Junior Water Polo Teams. With lots of excitement building up to the first round, it was great to have so many boys’ eager to play. This year there were two Junior Divisions. We had Camberwell Blue in the A Division along with Trinity and Ivanhoe and the other three Camberwell teams along with one from Trinity formed the B Division. Camberwell Blue got off to a fantastic start to the season in the A Division with a come from behind win against Trinity, by one goal. This set the stage for what would turn out to be a very close season between the two teams. Following the win against Trinity, we followed it up with a strong win over Ivanhoe to go into the final round, on top of the ladder. Unfortunately, after we were leading for the entire game, Trinity proved too strong and walked away victorious in the final game, meaning that Camberwell and Trinity would share the Junior A Division premiership. This was a fantastic result for Camberwell considering many boys had never played Water Polo before. Likewise, the Bs also had a close season playing, learning and improving as the weeks went on. The final came down to Camberwell Crest and Trinity. On the night, though,

With over 100 Camberwell students playing Inter School Water Polo this year, and happily accommodated in the new pool, the stage was set for a very successful season. The Open team went through the regular season undefeated and cruised through the semi-final game only to lose to Trinity in the grand final nine goals to four. Despite this, the season was marked with some outstanding pieces of play from our captain Chris Kerdemelidis and ably supported by his two Vice Captains Aaron Campbell and William Exon as goalkeeper. Full Colours (re-awarded) to Chris Kerdemelidis, Aaron Campbell and Will Exon were well-deserved being the mainstays of a committed group of Open players. The Intermediate As led by Jasper Guthrie claimed the trophy this year with an exceptionally spirited last game of the season.

be close us geographically over the back fence and as a Camberwell Grammar School in-law, so to speak, I hope we can still get to see her. Liz is not one for letting the grass grow under her feet so it will not be retirement for her but moving on to other things. Liz has many strings to her bow. She is already a powerful advocate on a number of Boards in the not for profit sector, including two as Chair, and will remain and perhaps extend her involvement with those. Then there’s the children, grandchildren and even more trips to Sale and Hong Kong. And Liz, if there’s time, then you can always tackle that bucket list of yours: perhaps another computing course or similar in advanced driving skills or writing that meat lovers’ cookbook?

Liz we will all miss you immeasurably. Fare thee well and the best of times for the future. Mr Peter O’Connell

Ms Rachael Falloon The role of Deputy has traditionally been an authoritarian position, often administered with bluster and bravado. Rachael, you have broken all our rules, not only as our first female Deputy Head in 130 years of history; you have used a special type of diplomacy to get things done. Always busy, but always willing to make the time to listen attentively and respond honestly, in a caring and trustworthy manner. Always willing to challenge yourself: roughing it with the cadets on camp, leading a lost platoon out of the wilderness, golfing in the Kingussie Cup or – in the highest of heels - kicking a footy with the students. They were most impressed! Rachael is a wonderful multitasker, always accurate and efficient, keen on the three Ps – process, procedures and policies. It has been suggested that her level of administrative skill could only be matched by a well-developed computer program which would be apply named the “RaecheBot”. However, there is a fourth P – protective, which I think is her best: she is above all protective of her staff, her students and the school. Rob and David, you both have big heels to fill. Rachael, you have touched many of our lives. As we reflect on your time with us, we will recall many personal instances of support, care, compassion, warmth, and, of course, moments of fun and hilarity! Our Deputy is a great educator and excellent role model, with the exception of her bizarre work-life balance. Those midnight emails must end! Rachael, you understand and embrace the things that make this school a special place. A sense of community is cherished, where caring for and having a positive influence on others is paramount, and where we strive to make our world a better place. I know you will make a great Head of Fintona Girls’ School; I know you will be missed by all at Camberwell, and we all wish you well on your journey down the road (just around the corner). Mr Glenn Pountney 260

Mrs Elizabeth Board This year Liz celebrated 25 years at Camberwell Grammar School and in that time, as Director of Development, she has built the School’s fundraising capacity from the ground up. Since 1993 she has helped raise nearly $11 million. Liz’s philosophy is that fundraising is really about friend-raising and building relationships. This takes a long time to establish and bear fruit and involves a considerable expenditure of time, much of it after-hours, with the School Foundation, OCGA and Parent Groups. There are innumerable interstate and overseas trips, dinners and an endless number of meetings and special events. In all of these Liz has been an organiser and host without peer and she can work a room like nobody else. Liz’s pioneer work in Development and fundraising here at Camberwell Grammar School has established her reputation not just in our community, but also on a state and national level and her expertise is regularly sought by others trying to replicate her success here. Liz is very much a ‘people person’ who relishes interacting with others. At Camberwell Grammar she has always been one of our key people. “Have a chat with Liz” has become almost a mantra at our school. She has been a confidant to a large number of staff, parents, Old Boys and current students and they appreciate her wise counsel, clear-headedness and uncanny ability to bring people together. And if there’s a crisis to manage, internal or external then Liz is always called in to critically assist. The School owes her a huge debt of gratitude for her contribution over the past decades, a contribution that is amongst the most important made by anyone here in recent times. Liz has already graciously postponed her departure once and now it’s hard to believe she will actually be leaving us. Still, she will still

Mr Brian Nguyen Brian Nguyen joined Camberwell Grammar School in 2007 as a Science and Mathematics teacher. He was also appointed as a Form Teacher in the Middle School where he loved building a close rapport with the boys in his care. Towards the end of his time at the School, he joined the Physical Education department and was instrumental in the successful proposal to introduce Sport Science as an elective in the Senior School. Brian’s enthusiasm and dedication to physiology and fitness, in particular bicycle riding, flowed on to his sport’s commitments where he started up the School cycling team comprising 20 students. His years of riding experience was invaluable to these students, of which, many still ride today at a high grade including national racing championships. Camberwell Grammar School wishes Brian all the best for his family’s new adventure in New Zealand after his wife secured a job in Auckland earlier this year. His professionalism and caring nature will be missed by all. Mr David Beardsley

staff notes

Helen joined Camberwell Grammar School in 2002 as the English as a Second Language teacher for boys in Junior School and Middle School. For many years now she has concentrated on Junior School boys only. Helen makes strong connections with ‘her boys’ and is always a positive and strong supporter of their lives in the school. She loves to celebrate and share their new learning and ensures they feel proud of their achievements and progress. Helen is mindful of making strong links with the boys in her charge in order to encourage conversation and reading and writing opportunities that will be familiar to them. She knows about their lives away from school, their passions and interests and their family. It is Helen’s nature to care for, and nurture the people in her life; her colleagues as well as her students benefited from her empathy and kindness. We all know how precious family is to Helen; we have shared the joy of her daughter’s marriage and the birth of her two grandsons. Her other big love is golf and having time to play more often and improve her handicap will be something she will embrace. Helen will be missed at Camberwell Grammar School as a valued colleague with a sympathetic and compassionate personality. After many years of being a devoted teacher and colleague, Helen begins retirement with the best wishes of our whole School community for happiness, good health and contentment in the future.

Mrs Helen Thomas

Mr Hamish Meachem Hamish has worked at Camberwell Grammar School for eight years now and in that time, has taken on several roles. The first of many involved working as an AFL Trainee before being promoted on to staff as Sports Administrator. It was during his time as Sports Administrator that he orchestrated several initiatives that have assisted both the Camberwell and AGSV Sport Programs. The main one being the introduction of statistical analysis of the competition as a whole to indicate strengths and weaknesses within sports and schools as a whole. Hamish’s biggest asset has been the growth of swimming at Camberwell Grammar through his coaching and expertise in the sport. He has grown the sport to be one of the most successful in the sport program. Hamish will continue to develop the sport as a coach as he completes his teaching degree over the next few years. We wish him all the best with his coaching and teaching endeavours now and well into the future. Mr Jamie Watson

Rev Jeanette Acland Jeanette joined the Camberwell Grammar staff in 2015. She brought experience in teaching Religious Education and School Chaplaincy. She took on the role of Junior School Chaplain and became a busy member of the Junior School Community. The power of storytelling was her way of connecting and encouraging her students. By using “Godly Play”, Jeanette was able to create wonder and enjoyment, as she shared the Bible stories.

Mr Kevin Boyd In farewelling Kevin, I have been thinking about what makes a truly great teacher. By ‘greatness’, I mean one who has an ineffable effect on the lives of his or her students, and colleagues – in both cases, irrespective of age.

At the end of Term 1 2017, Jeanette finished her work with the Junior School. She has begun work with Baptcare, wanting a different challenge. We wish her well in her new vocation.

There is, of course, the criteria we know only too well: expertise in subject area, impeccable administration, effective communication skills, empathy and emotional intelligence.

Being a skilled clarinet player, Marc quickly found a place tutoring the woodwinds in Concert Band and giving inspiration as co-conductor to the fledgling instrumentalists in Year 5 Ensemble. It was always a lot of fun playing music with Mr Zanin. In 2011, a vacancy in the Music Office enabled us to retain his musical expertise and utilise his administrative skills to take over the office management and make it his own. The music staff came to rely on Marc for all kinds of assistance – student information, timetables, attendance records, photocopying, music purchases, programs, stage management, coffee and morning tea – Marc was the go-to man. Students and parents sought his advice for anything from forgotten instruments, lost phones, first aid, account queries, concert tickets and so much more. Music suppliers and technicians became good friends, the administrative staff relied on his facts, figures and record keeping and the maintenance staff helped him keep Highton and Mallinson buildings in good order. His patience was infinite as well as his care and concern for everyone – student, parent or colleague. Marc has been a wonderful colleague and key member of the Music Department. We shall miss his good humour, great kindness and helpfulness. We thank him for all that he has brought to Camberwell Grammar School and wish him happiness and satisfaction as he explores opportunities in music teaching and music advocacy.

staff notes and absolutely precious; something quite immeasurable, but known deeply by our intuitive sense. I think it is where this extraordinary human being becomes the very embodiment of their subject. He or she doesn’t simply ‘teach’ their subject, they live and breathe it – for they are the incarnation of their subject themselves – be it Science, Drama, a language, Music, Physical Education.

Such impassioned people are the most inspiring of figures; whether as teachers or colleagues, they command our attention, and leave us in awe! Maybe we meet one or two of those rare spirits in a lifetime. Kevin, it has always seemed to me, is the very embodiment of creativity: the revered master-potter who set up the brilliant ceramics studio at Camberwell Grammar School; the astonishingly skilful painter and drawer; our energetic photographer, who can freeze those emblematic moments in time; the meticulously thorough teacher of craft and model-making to Middle School boys; the wonderfully supportive mentor of adults learning pottery and painting. I am an inveterate reader, yet such a task as sustained reading is difficult for Kev, as he wants to get up and do things – to make, and in this sense, he is a poet, not of words, but of craft, for the Old Scots word for poet is ‘maker’. Last year a group of us on the staff took a trip to China. In his backpack, Kevin had some 20 beautiful little bowls he had made. These he gave to guides, taxi-drivers, folks serving in shops, people he passed along the way. In each case this was an intimate little gift, a piece of art, a piece of Kev, as it were. Kev being Kev, few in our group would have been aware of this taking place. Think of how we reveal ourselves to others. It is all in the detail. Have you ever had morning tea with Kev? He takes a single spoon of sugar, but rather than simply placing it in the tea, he delicately sprinkles the grains to create a beautifully ornate swirl around the top of the cup, as if he were applying a precious glaze. The act becomes a kind of blessing!

think, finally proves that you (at least) were NOT a miss-hire.

Ms Octavia Rae Ms Octavia Rae joined the Junior School staff in 2016 as the Head of JS Student Support. This role was expanded to be full time to allow more boys to be part of the program and to benefit from Octavia’s expertise in the area of student support. Octavia also became involved in the Enrichment program and worked with other schools in our region to ensure best practice in this area. Octavia’s cheerful and friendly personality endeared her to colleagues, parents and, of course, the students with whom she worked. Octavia was a valued member of staff, always joining in celebrations and special events with enthusiasm. She particularly enjoyed the AFL and was a jubilant Richmond supporter this year. Octavia formed many friendships during her time at CGS which I know will endure. Her students and colleagues will her miss her happy and vibrant disposition and wish her the very best in her future career. Dr Paul Hicks

Spectamur Agendo, indeed! It’s not so much a matter of teaching, but a matter of soul! Kevin, thank you for all you have given us in over 20 years at the school, and every happiness in your undoubtedly creative retirement.

Mr Brent Woodlock When I first meet Brent five years ago I wasn’t so sure he would fit the Camberwell mould. I mean, how could someone who spent that much time in the gym have any time left over for his work? Well, as we stand here now, five years later, I can announce that Brent has not only landed the Maths teaching job at Camberwell Girls’ Grammar school (very ideal for his two daughters), but he has also been offered the position as their Head of Mathematics. Congratulations Brent. This, I

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

Brent’s board work is the cleanest, clearest setting out of content you could ever imagine. If you were to take day by day “screen-shots” of his whiteboard you would be able to stitch them together and create the most comprehensive and succinct textbook for that course in Mathematics. This is in part due to that fact that Brent is a perfectionist. Typos in emails make him shudder, mistakes in professional documents make him queasy (to say the least) and imperfectly structured computer file systems bring out a controlled hysteria. Brent is definite and organised in the way that he works and he is always compelled to straighten things out. We’ve benefitted greatly from this character trait in Brent over the last five years as he quite diligently and generously been working to create some exceptionally useable systems, processes and teaching materials. We’ve all also had some fun purposefully leaving some things out of place, just to get a reaction. Brent listens intently to his colleagues, is willing to admit when he has been wrong and he is respectful, professional and even friendly when caught in a disagreement. As a collaborator, Brent is the perfect team man.

Brent’s addicted to sport. You name the sport or the exercise regime and Brent has undertaken it to an extreme level. Football, running, swimming and weight training to name just a few. But when Bent came to us, it was as he was reaching his zenith as a road cyclist. As a near 40-year-old, Brent was beating professionals ten to 20 years younger than him and he was even able to compete professionally against Cadell Evans. However, you may not know that we almost lost Brent two years ago. Whilst on holidays, Brent was training on a very steep downhill section of road when he had a devastating crash. His helmet was crushed beyond recognition, probably saving his life. He ended up in hospital, luckily only with some very deep flesh wounds but no broken bones. Brent counts this as the second most motivating experience of his life. From that day forth he never raced again for this sake of his family. The first most motivating experience, he says, was the phone call he received from the library staff the day he had forgotten his lunch time library duty. From that day forth, Brent never missed a library duty ever again.

Brent, we will definitely miss; your coffee making ability, sharing belly laughs about the inherent comedy of being a teacher, discussions on how to best approach specific student needs and your infectious work ethic. For me, I will miss the deeply motivating conversations about Mathematics. I hope you feel, as I do, ten times more interested in my favourite subject for having shared in it with each other.

SUPPORT GROUPS Parents’ Association

The year started with the Parents Association welcoming new and existing parents with a series of welcome back functions in the Camberwell Room in our new Sports Complex. This enabled parents and staff of Junior, Middle and Senior Schools to meet and chat informally. This year’s functions were highly enjoyable and well supported. The PA also hosted a morning tea for class representatives at the beginning of Term 1 in recognition of their invaluable contribution made to the School. I would also like to thank Ms Jenny Thurlby for co-ordinating the Junior School Class Representatives and Mrs Angela Marino for taking on the role of Middle School and Senior School Class Co-ordinator. Their enthusiasm and commitment to the class rep program is much appreciated. The Cadet Unit’s Anzac Day Vigil and Dawn Service were once again extremely well attended by parents and students. The spirit of our school community was keenly felt as we remembered the spirit and sacrifice of the Anzacs and Australians who have subsequently fought for our country. I would like to thank Captain Michael Neal, for the privilege of participating in the service as the Parent Representative and the associated honour of laying a wreath on behalf of all parents. ‘Lest we Forget.’ Term 3 began with the PA’s major parent social event. This year our theme was Back to School. I would like to thank Mrs Roseanne Perri, Mrs Kerry-Anne Mellor, Mrs Lyndel Kennedy, Mrs Jennifer Bite and Mrs Nina Lewis for the fantastic effort they put in this year to make the night a success and enjoyable for all the parents; their organisation and creativity made it a great night out for all. The next function on the calendar was Open Day and with the building works now complete, we were able spread out and accommodate the enlarged number of support groups as well as the increased number of activities on the day.

We were blessed with wonderful weather, a huge variety of food and activities. The day really did show off the best of the school community to potential and existing parents, students and siblings. A special thank you to Mr Tim Cross, Open Day Co-ordinator and his team of boys, for their assistance, Jessie Stasiak from the Development Office, and all the teachers and staff who gave up their Saturday.

The Parents Association (PA) is the umbrella organisation for all the parents support groups. The umbrella has got bigger this year with the formation of the Friends of Baseball, Friends of Cycling and Friends of Tennis, and Friends of Aquatics. It is wonderful to see so many parents involved in the boys’ extra-curricular activities.

I would also like to thank all parents who have contributed generously through the PA and the Support Groups during the year. I have appreciated the support received this year from the PA Executive members Mrs Cathy Garrard (Vice President), Mrs Susie Karlson (Treasurer), and Mr John Campbell (Secretary). Thanks also to Mrs Ros Thorn for her role in co-ordinating the Camberwell Grammar School Angels and the Angels themselves, who do so much behind the scenes with only rare public recognition but your efforts are greatly appreciated. The Parents’ Association and the Support Groups would not achieve all that they do without the tireless and exceptional support from all the staff of the Development Office led by Mrs Elizabeth Board. Liz, the Parents Association, the Old Boys and the School in general will miss you and your support in 2018, we hope you enjoy your life outside Camberwell Grammar, but know that you will never be too far away. Mr Warren Edney President

Camberwell Grammar Auxiliary The Auxiliary have had another successful and busy year with a motivated and fun group of volunteers. We started the year attending the Welcome Morning Tea for new parents and then supplying the refreshments for the Parent Teacher Interviews during the course of the year. Our many cafeteria volunteers were kept busy helping to feed the hungry boys each day and we appreciate the time given by these parents. Pudding preparation and planning began in Term 2 and the mixing and baking kept us busy in Term 3, with over 800 puddings being made. We love that this tradition has been

going for over 30 years and encourage you to come along and help in 2018. (no cooking skills required). Thank you to everyone who helped, especially the mums who came along every week in August and work tirelessly each Friday. Our cake stall was filled with beautifully home baked cakes on Open Day and was a sell out again. The memorabilia stall included our new Camberwell Grammar Tea Towels, Compact Umbrellas and Beanies and lots of items were purchased by new and past families. The Camberwell Grammar bear and apron were popular items again. We will be looking forward to helping with Year 7 Orientation Day in December and meeting new parents. Thank you to everyone involved with the Auxiliary and your help is always appreciated and needed and we are always welcome to new members. Also a big thank you to Jessie and the wonderful ladies in the Development Office who support us. We would like to wish Liz Board all the best for the future and thank her for her assistance and we will miss her. Mrs Nicole Loidl Convenor

Cadet Auxiliary Cadet Auxiliary has enjoyed another fruitful year assisting our impressive Cadet unit. Once again, this year the Cadet Auxiliary has had the privilege of assisting the Cadet unit at the ANZAC Day Dawn service by providing a gun fire breakfast at the conclusion. Everyone enjoyed some warm food and drink while having the chance to reflect together on this special occasion. The Cadet Auxiliary’s main fund-raising activities throughout the year were our four Friday lunchtime sausage sizzle BBQs, where we served sausages in bread and soft drinks with the able assistance of the cadets. Needless to say, these events are particularly popular in the colder months. We also provided BBQs for recruit training day and the Year 10 Careers evening. In Term 2 we tried a new fund-raising venture selling Billy G’s Gourmet Cookie and Biscuit dough and this was well supported by the School community. Our Open Day stall is always lots of fun joining the wider “Friends of” groups to help showcase our great school. Again, this year our specialty was Choc Top Ice-creams and soft drinks. This year we also sold handmade felt poppies and rosemary for Remembrance Day. Thank you to Annie Balla for so generously making the poppies for us. Our fundraising efforts have resulted in the Cadet unit purchasing new swags, stretchers and LED lighting. Commemorative frames are also presented to the Year 12 cadets as a memento of their time in the Unit. There many people who are indispensable to the successful running of the Cadet Auxiliary. Thank you to Michael Neal who is the Cadet Unit Representative in the Auxiliary for all your assistance throughout the year. I would also like to thank the Cadets and the Cadet staff for their continued help at all of our events. Thank you also to Jessie Stasiak from the Development Office and Sarah and her staff in the Canteen. The Auxiliary would not be able to function as it does without all your help.

We are fortunate to have many parents continuing on in Cadet Auxiliary next year, providing great continuity. I am pleased to say the Fionna Cooper and Annie Balla will remain as office bearers in 2018. I would encourage any Cadet parents to consider becoming involved in Cadet Auxiliary in 2018 as it is great fun and very rewarding. To those leaving, such as myself, I wish you and your boys my very best wishes for life beyond the gates of Camberwell Grammar School. Mrs Pam de la Rue Convenor

Swap Shop (PLUS – Pre-Loved Uniform Shop) 2017 has been a big year for the School’s pre-loved uniform shop! Starting the year with a new name and a new logo, we moved into our new shop over the Term 1 holidays, ready to open for business at the beginning of Term 2. Huge thanks must go to the fantastic team of PLUS volunteers who dedicated many long hours during the School break to help sort and move all the stock and set up the new shop. The new facilities have meant that shopping for uniform is now so much easier with improved lighting, extra space and shelving as well as two additional change rooms. Nick Ryan from Bob Stewart, one of the School’s uniform suppliers, generously arranged and fitted the shop with Camberwell Grammar monogrammed curtains in the change rooms, adding to our more professional presentation – many thanks Nick! A Grand Opening of the new premises was held in late August and several of our “retired” volunteers attended, with the oldest being Mrs Tutti Pike, who operated the uniform shop from a room in the old “C Block” back in the mid-1970s! A fun night was enjoyed by all the volunteers and guests, with the Headmaster cutting the ribbon and officially declaring PLUS open for business! This year we welcomed eight new volunteers to our team, several being mums that had been at the school for a number of years and found themselves now able to give some

time back to the school. Sadly, each year we also say goodbye to our volunteers who have their youngest son in Year 12. This year we are farewelling Robyn Frampton and Kaylene Ravenhill. Thank you ladies so very much for the many hours you have given to supporting PLUS during your time at Camberwell Grammar School and we wish you both all the best for the future. A special thank you to Linda Spargo. Thanks also to Jessie and the Development Office girls for their wonderful assistance and to the Headmaster, Dr Hicks, who advocated for our new shop and continues to support our endeavours. PLUS looks forward to another busy and productive year in 2018. Mrs Cathy Garrard, Mrs Tracey Guorgi and Ms Lily Jiang Co-Convenors

Middle and Senior School Year Representatives It’s party time! Clink go the champagne glasses and cheers, to our wonderful Year Representatives.

Our innovative team of Year Representatives have gone over and beyond expectations this year with so many wonderful fun events planned and executed so far like, go karting, bowling nights, morning teas and charity fundraising events.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

Friends of Baseball

With the new pool now in operation, it has been an exciting year for Swimming and Water Polo. Swimming training has been continuing over Winter and the AGSV Water Polo games were held in the Camberwell Grammar Pool for the first time which was a huge success.

In only its second year, Baseball proved to be a popular choice for the boys, with Camberwell Grammar School fielding Under 13, 15 and 17 teams as part of the Victorian Winter Baseball League. Although a new sport, Baseball is well supported at Camberwell Grammar through our association with the North Balwyn Baseball Club (NBBC) and this mutually beneficial relationship has flourished.

This year Friends of Swimming have added Water Polo to our group and we are now known as Friends of Aquatics. Both sports have around 100 boys involved. During the swimming season we raised money from a kiosk at the Dual in the Pool events and used the proceeds to fund a BBQ to follow the Camberwell Grammar Swimming Championships. This was a great chance for the boys to get together. Following this there was a breakfast the morning after the AGSV competition to celebrate an amazing result of third place. We also held a successful Presentation Night in the Camberwell Room for Swimming at the end of the season with a fantastic Guest Speaker Olympic swimmer Belinda Hocking. It was great to hear Belinda’s stories about swimming in the Olympics. During the Water Polo season we set up a coffee shop near the pool entrance to provide coffee for the parents and cold drinks. On Open Day this year we held a Raffle / Silent Auction and sold lollies and towels. We also displayed the swimming training kits which was helpful to students starting at the School next year. Training kits are now on sale for boys joining Swimming this season and are available for well below retail prices. We are also selling towels with personalised initials. Thank you to all the parents who have helped out with Swimming and Water Polo events this year and to Hamish Meachem for his enthusiasm and hard work. Thank you also to the Development Office and Jess and Liz in the Sports Centre for their much appreciated support. Ms Sue Hall President

Friends of Baseball was launched this year with great enthusiasm to support and grow the Camberwell Grammar baseball community and organise social events. A joint NBBC/Camberwell Grammar Pizza and Movie night in Term 2 was enjoyed by parents and kids alike. In Term 3, there was a huge turnout for a Family Pizza and Dessert night in the new Camberwell Room. The President of NBBC, a parent at the school, spoke passionately about the game and encouraged the boys to have fun and enjoy themselves. At the Presentation Night, all boys received team pennants and the coaches awarded trophies for Batting, Pitching and Most Valuable Player. At Open Day, you could purchase American treats and drinks and then test your arm at the pitching tunnel. Prizes were awarded for the fastest pitch. A huge thank you to all the mums and dads who learned to score and assisted in pre/postgame field set up. You are truly appreciated. We look forward to next season and strongly encourage any boy to come and give Baseball a try. Ms Lisa Seabrooke President

Friends of Basketball Camberwell Grammar has over 250 boys across Years 7 to 12 who play Basketball every Summer for our School, an extremely popular sport. We kicked off last season with our second Season Launch Breakfast, which was well attended by over 100 players, parents and coaches. Maddie Garrick, starting Point Guard with Melbourne Boomers and player for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games Team was an inspiring Guest Speaker telling the boys about the commitment and pathway she took, to becoming a current professional Australian basketball player. The morning concluded with the handing of the 2016/2017 jerseys to the First V Basketball. The boys eagerly commenced playing the season on their new courts, an amazing addition to our School facilities and something the boys are very proud to call their home courts. We all watched some great basketball over the season, highlighted with a game between the Old Boys and the Firsts, which for the second season in a row the Firsts were able to take home the trophy. Friends of Basketball was also the proud sponsor of Molten Basketballs for the winners of the three on three competition Bridgland House organised and in which many Senior School boys played in. A wonderful tournament run over three weeks during lunch times and with FOB happy to be involved. At the conclusion of a successful Basketball season, we organised our Presentation Night, this year held in The Camberwell Room. Over 200 players and their families attended. MVP trophies were presented to all Teams and our guest speaker was a player from Melbourne United, Bennie Lewis. Bennie hails from Benedict College in the US and shared with the

boys his passion to play basketball and how he went about achieving this dream. We have capped off 2017 with our participation in another very successful Open Day, something we love being involved in. A great way to celebrate the School with the community. Thank you once again to the many people in the Camberwell Grammar community, especially the FOB Committee, who help run Friends of Basketball. There are so many fabulous people all working together to support and celebrate our players. A very special thanks again to Mr Jamie Watson, Mr Hamish Meachem, Mr Tim Cross and our Head Coach - Mr Steve Blackley, for their contribution to the Basketball program and special thanks to the Development Office – especially Jessie Stasiak, for their work in supporting Friends of Basketball. Mrs Fran Amling President

Friends of Cricket The second half of season 2016/17 saw the completion of the School multipurpose Sports Complex and the forming of a new committee for Friends of Cricket. Concentrating on reinvigorating the focus of cricket within the School, the Committee held two very successful end of season functions – the First XI Dinner and the All Teams End of Season Presentation evening. The first meeting for the current 2017/18 season was held at the beginning of Term 3 with planning for Open Day, the new season launch and several other cricket-orientated initiatives started. Open Day saw Friends of Cricket host Devonshire Tea in the Camberwell Room and many families took the opportunity to enjoy their tea and scones whilst sitting on the Balcony overlooking the upgraded home of the First & Second XI teams, the Keith Anderson Oval (KAO). The season launch, held only a few days later, saw many of the School cricketers and their families listen to Guest Speaker, Old Boy Andrew Young, shared his cricketing journey from early days, through school cricket to his current position in the Melbourne University First XI.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

The committee will continue to support the cricketers at Camberwell Grammar School for the remainder of the season, with several more events in the planning stages. Mr Nigel Garrard President

Friends of Cycling The Friends of Cycling is a newly formed support group in 2017, currently comprised of a small, but enthusiastic group of mums. The cycling team at Camberwell Grammar consists of around 20 to 25 boys from Middle and Senior School who compete in a range of events in the Cycling Victoria Interschool Cycling Series over the summer. These events include Team Time Trials, Individual Time Trials and Criterium events, held both in Melbourne and further afield. Our inaugural function held in March this year was a barbeque to celebrate the end of the cycling season. The BBQ proved very popular, with 14 of the 18 cycling families attending. The event was tinged with some sadness, however, as it doubled as a farewell for one of the cycling coaches, Mr Brian Nguyen. Brian was instrumental in establishing the Camberwell Grammar Cycling Team and has been a wonderful mentor and role model for the team. We are pleased to note that Mr Brent Woodlock will continue as the Teacher-in-Charge of the Camberwell Grammar Cycling Team for the upcoming 2017/18 season, and welcome Mark O’Brien as coach of the team. Mark brings a wealth of experience as both athlete and coach from his involvement in Pro Cycling. The Friends of Cycling held a pre-season film night in August, where 42 people went along to the Balwyn Cinema to see “All for One”, the inspirational story of GreenEDGE, the first Australian Pro Tour cycling team. We look forward to meeting the new cycling families at future events, and to providing ongoing support for the cycling team and coaching staff. Mrs Tracey Guorgi President

Friends of Football This year Friends of Football clarified its purpose: to lead a culture of commitment, pride and success in football at Camberwell Grammar. In doing so, FOF focused on the engagement and support of all players, parents and coaches across the School, to provide resources and build our football community. We welcomed Dean Laidley to football at Camberwell Grammar School, as an external marquee coach with the goal of building a solid football culture in partnership with the School and Friends of Football. An early call to action among the senior playing group was to determine the mission and values of football at Camberwell Grammar: MISSION Let us be judged by our acts VALUES Hard to Play Against Team First Discipline Tough and Fair Fun Environment The ultimate goal of this message was to encourage all Camberwell Grammar footballers at all levels to demonstrate these values on and off the ground. Accordingly, Friends of Football sponsored the Sam Gibson (old boy, 2004 football captain and North Melbourne AFL player) Clubman Award to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of our boys to live the values throughout the season. Thank you to those parents who worked with Friends of Football to support the home ground canteen and those parents who worked closely with the coaches each week to support the team mechanics and running the games. Thank you to the coaches who worked with our boys to make football at Camberwell a positive experience. Thank you to the FOF committee whose friendship and commitment to our boys has been amazing.

Support Groups Friends of Kayaking 2016/2017 has been a busy year for Kayaking at Camberwell Grammar School. We had a solid core of paddlers, competing in five events over Term 4 in 2016 and Term 1 in 2017. Major events included: • Bendigo Cup at Bridgewater, where 20 boys paddled in pairs on the Saturday, performing well, then held an enjoyable team dinner on Saturday night.

Around 250 players, family and staff attended our football Presentation Night with Guest speaker Craig Hutchison, TV personality and footy media commentator. It was fantastic to have a key media figure speak so honestly about his life. Thank you to special guest Sam Gibson for presenting the Clubman Award and assisting in the presentations of the night. Congratulations to coaches Mr Will Hone 2nd XVIII and Mr David Beardsley 7A and players, for being the most successful winning teams of the year. We are pleased to be building stronger links to our Old Boys FC this year, as our 2016 leavers won their division grand final in their U19 debut year. This is a wonderful way to continue the tradition of Camberwell community football. Mr Dom de Rauch President

Friends of Hockey Camberwell Grammar had 178 boys in Middle and Senior School, plus their parents, participating in hockey during winter. It was good to see that the events organised by Friends of Hockey were well supported by boys and parents from all year levels.

He and Ollie presented the Most Valuable Player trophies for each team and the Mike Van Nugteren Team of the Year award to the Year 7As coached by Mr Crawford. The night finished with Mr Meachem’s video highlights of the 2016 season (thank you Hamish). Our final event for the year was the Asian Food Stall at Open Day which was staffed by 28 volunteers. I would like to thank you all for your efforts and having so many parents involved meant that everyone had an opportunity to experience other Open Day activities. The proceeds from the stall will be used for equipment and awards in 2017. In 2017, we look forward to resuming our start of Season BBQ and Round Robin tournament on the resurfaced JTO. Finally, I would like to thank Mr Watson and the Friends of Hockey Committee, Richard Emmett, Paul Sampson and Louise Brown for their efforts and assistance over the year. Mr Jeff Gooden President

• Blessing of the Boats on the Yarra Banks, attended by Dr Hicks, Ms Falloon, the Reverend Butler, students and parents. • A new invitational event with MLC and Trinity on the Yarra. • Victorian Marathon Championships at Geelong, competing primarily in the K2 and TK2 events, with Kayaking Captain Beau Frawley competing in the K1. One paddler also competed on Sunday in the K1. • Victorian Schools Championships at Lake Lilydale. Camberwell Grammar collected a range of medals across different age groups and event types. Special mention to our Year 7 boys, several of whom competed brilliantly, having only taken up the sport a few weeks prior to competing in these events. Particular thanks are appropriate for FoK supporters including Teacher in Charge Victoria Papaioannou, Rev Charles Butler, Coach Robbie Aardoom, Director of Sport Jamie Watson, parents and the FoK Committee members. Mr John Campbell President

The April break saw Camberwell Grammar School field a team in in the Melbourne Grammar School International Tournament and while the boys didn’t finish in the places, they did get valuable experience. At the start of Term 2, Friends of Hockey in conjunction with Just Hockey in Glen Iris, were able to provide hockey starter kits consisting of shin pads and a stick at a heavily discounted price to 30 boys who were playing hockey for the first time. Our end of season awards night was held at the Gordon Barnard Pavilion. Mr Oliver Chauhan (2015) ex-Captain of Games and Captain of Hockey spoke about playing and umpiring hockey and the ups and downs of his sporting career. We would also like to thank Mr Marcus Jones who took over the role of Master of Ceremonies this year.

Friends of Library

Friends of Norge

Friends of Library have had an interesting and productive year, kicking off with the FoL Book Fair at Open Day. With the construction works finished, and significant cross-traffic between Junior and Middle/Senior School, we saw a steady stream of customers. With the help of ‘Geronimo Stilton’, we sold more than $2,200 worth of books earning a credit of $550 for our librarians to spend on resources from Scholastic.

Friends of Norge is the parent group which supports Junior School activities and consists of Co-ordinators and Year Representatives.

The 2016 Book Exchange sold 2,046 books from 388 sellers to 373 ‘customers’ for $61,658 of sales and, after payments to sellers and other expenses of $45,070, earned a profit of $16,588. We also raised $118 from gold-coin donations for retired library books. A streamlined checkout system with three EFT terminals made for a smooth and fast process for buyers, and the School’s assistance with populating lists and crediting payments directly to sellers eliminated some of the more onerous tasks involved in Book Exchange. Hundreds of good quality texts, which could not be sold, were collected and donated to charity. As always, the success of Book Exchange is due to the time and talent of a vast army – this year, not counting FoL Committee and Camberwell Grammar staff, 77 volunteers contributed 571 hours of their time. We thank them, and the Camberwell Grammar families who continue to support Book Exchange, most sincerely. Other FoL initiatives, including the sale of VIPA book covering materials and padpod® tablet cushions, raised more than $730. FoL this year provided new furniture for the Weichardt Library, just over $4,400 for electronic resources and $1000 towards the Camberwell Grammar School Scholarship fund. We were also able to assist with covering books for the libraries and wrapping academic and sporting prizes. Sincere thanks to the staff of the Development Office, who are a wonderful support, and to the FoL Committee for their enthusiasm, expertise and friendship. A special thanks to our secretary, Sarah Thiele, and our convenor of the past four years, Robyn Frampton, who both ‘graduate’ at the end of 2017, and who will be dearly missed. Dr Alexandra Haendel and Mrs Robyn Frampton Co-Convenors

The Camberwell Grammarian 2017

This year has been a busy year for Friends of Norge in our village. We hosted breakfasts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Over three hundred parents and boys attended each of these events which were held at day break on our Junior School Green. Parents enjoyed hot egg and bacon rolls, freshly baked pastries, donuts and coffee while listening to some terrific, upbeat music performed by the Middle School Stage Band. Our Junior boys sang their mums a special song prepared by Mrs Helen Thomas. Thank you to Mr Ben Bishop, Ms Linda Wostry and the Middle School Stage Band. The boys also made and gave their mums delightful framed paintings and their dads, coasters. Mr Howard Kelly took photos of the boys with their mums and dads providing lovely mementoes of these special mornings. The Junior School Footy Day was held on the last day of Term 2. A sausage sizzle and cupcakes were enjoyed by the Junior boys before they participated in footy activities and drills lead by the School’s First XVIII Football team. It was a great way to end the term. On Open Day it was exciting to see our Junior School village abuzz with activity. The warmth and camaraderie was very apparent as we all came together - parents, staff and boys to showcase our wonderful Junior School. Parents operated stalls selling sausages, chips, drinks, fairy floss, popcorn, snow cones, lollies and provided information about Junior School. Power pedal smoothies were a great hit as was the paella, face painting, the jumping castle and the animal petting farm. Friends of Norge was also involved in Stepping Up Day in welcoming new parents to the Junior School, Year 5 Graduation Dinner and the End of Year Staff Farewell BBQ.

I would like to thank Ms Ivy Lun (Event Co-ordinator/Treasurer), Mrs Roula Andreopoulos (Secretary), Mrs Atid Page (Logistics Co-ordinator) and Mrs Isabelle Tilley (Creative Co-ordinator) for your tremendous enthusiasm and commitment in your roles and the support you have given me throughout the year. Thank you to our Year Representatives for all your hard work in bringing our School community together by organising year level functions and helping at events. Mr Howard Kelly, Mrs Di Collins, Mrs Dune Richards and Ms Ariela Nucci, thank you for all the support and advice you have given me and my team. It is always enjoyable working with you and the Junior School Staff. Finally, thank you to the Development Office especially the wonderful Ms Jessie Stasiak for the impeccable assistance you provide us. Mrs Elizabeth Board, a very special thank you to you. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and we wish you all the very best for your retirement. Ms Jenny Thurlby Convenor

Friends of Performing Arts The primary purpose of Friends of Performing Arts (FoPA) is to promote and foster music and drama in the School community and we take this opportunity to congratulate all the boys and staff for another memorable year of performances. This year involved moving our storage area and operations to a new home within the Performing Arts Centre. This has made a marked improvement in our serving of refreshments for music and drama performances and we thank the Development Office for making this move possible. The majority of funds are raised through the provision of refreshments, but other activities include the sales of music bags, the Open Day Stall and this year FoPA held its inaugural fundraising event, a performing arts themed Trivia Night. It has been rewarding to see the costume bags and overlocker purchased with funds raised utilised this year. FoPA members also provide support by volunteering behind the scenes of the School Plays by assisting with costumes, make up and

Support Groups Friends of Tennis We are very excited to re-introduce Friends of Tennis at Camberwell Grammar this year.

supervision as well as preparing the choir robes for the Christmas Carol Service. We are grateful to all of the Music and Drama staff, and Technical Production crew for their guidance, leadership and liaison. Without the leadership of Mr Ben Bishop, Mr Andrew Stocker and Mrs Helen Thomas we would not experience such wonderful results from our boys. We also extend our appreciation to Mrs Elizabeth Board, Ms Jessie Stasiak and the Development Office for their ongoing support of our group. Our sincere thanks to the Committee members and FoPA volunteers who generously gave their time and energy to support our activities this year. We welcome and encourage all parents of boys with an interest in theatre or music to join the Friends of Performing Arts in the coming year. Mrs Jennifer Bité and Mr Michael Koswig Co-Convenors

Friends of Soccer Friends of Soccer (FOS) launched the season this year with the inaugural Old Boy Firsts v 2017 Firsts derby on the KAO. It was a rousing affair with victory going to the Old Boys 7-5. Current Firsts players were presented with their tops with their names blazoned on the

scoreboard. Due to its success, the intention is to make this an annual event. During the season, we continued to sell the Camberwell Grammar scarves at games and as a new initiative made them available in the PLUS (swap shop). A special guest appearance by Dean Bouzanis, the Melbourne City goal keeper ensured the end of season presentation evening was an inspirational night. He shared with the boys his best save, a few regrets, toughest players, his love of the comradery at his club amongst other memories and spoke of his wish to go back to study to prepare for life after soccer. His frank disclosures provided food for thought for the boys present. We closed off the year participating in open day with a penalty shootout on the KAO. It attracted soccer boffins from six to sixty who attempted to score goals in the top corner windows in the SKIL Goalshot net. FOS has donated this net to the school to be made available to all teams to practice their shooting. Our contribution to the many food choices on the day were ice cream cakes which seemed to go down a treat. Thank you to the small committed team of FOS members, the unflappable Jessie in the Development office, the ever-helpful Liz and Jess in the Sports Centre and Jamie Watson and his team for their support. Mrs Jenny Gotz Papillo President

This was followed by the Camberwell Grammar Tennis Season Launch Breakfast held in the Camberwell Room, which was well attended by boys and families from across many teams and year levels. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and were given some inspirational advice from our guest speaker, Camberwell Grammar Old Boy, Newcombe Medal winner and Victorian Club Coach of the Year 2011, Peter Owen. Many thanks to Mr Lachlan Crawford for being Master of Ceremonies for the morning and to the teachers who were able to attend for their support. In 2018 we hope to host many more social events including BBQs and Round Robins and we look forward to seeing tennis at Camberwell Grammar continue to flourish with the encouragement of the wider school community. We would like to thank all the parents who have joined Friends of Tennis for their contribution, support and for generously giving their time to help get Friends of Tennis up and running. A special thanks goes to the coaches, teachers in charge and the Sports Department for their enthusiasm and encouragement of the boys and the team in the Development Office, especially Liz Board and Jessie Stasiak for their exceptional advice and guidance. Wishing all our tennis teams the very best of luck for a successful 2017-2018 season. Carolyn Quan and Wendy Jones-Wade Co-Convenors
