The American philosopher, William James warned us against being too enthusiastic about ‘great things and big plans, great institutions and big success.’ He believed the true values in life could be found only in ‘those tiny, invisible, loving forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride.’ While of course we encourage our students to dream and to make big plans, it is worth reminding ourselves that life really exists in the details, the small actions and decisions that we make every day. Each year the The Grammarian records our routines and our daily interactions. It hints at the thousands of daily interactions which occur every week and records some of the achievements we are proud of. It reflects the joy of our students as they compete in sport or make art or work hard at their learning or perform on stage.
This year, in a year in which we have not been building, we have enjoyed living in the routine patterns of classes and co-curricular activity. We have worked hard at our studies, we have made music together at Hamer Hall, we have competed each week in sporting contests, we have performed great shows and made beautiful art. We have also supported good causes and worked with our local community. Our boys have all grown a year older and have learned a few things along the way. This publication records our activities, our learning and the voices of our students. In its chronicling of the details of our daily routines, it captures our year. As always, The Grammarian is the shared result of many people’s work. Students and staff members have worked together to write the stories. A team of staff photographers have captured our daily life and have been present at every school activity. The editorial lifting, however, has been done by Mrs Jade Dolling and Mrs Claire Denbury, who bear the responsibility and the credit for the final result. Putting together a magazine of this size is a huge task, and I am grateful for all they have done. Thanks also to Will McIlroy, our Prefect for Publications, for all he has done to promote the written word in our school this year. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

INTRODUCTION
EDITORIAL There is a Ugandan proverb that, when loosely translated into English, asserts “it takes a village to raise a child”. It takes a strong environment, driven with conviction by a group of people all committed to the same goal; it takes a community. In many ways, Camberwell Grammar School is just that. In fact, when I cast my mind back to my first day of Year 7, as I sat on the stage of the PAC enamoured by the pomp and ceremony of a whole school assembly, I can still remember Dr Hicks’ words clearly. He said, “you are not just new members of a school, you are now a part of our learning community”. It is this community-based mindset that sets our school apart and what makes Camberwell a privilege to attend year-inyear-out. Every day, students and staff alike dedicate themselves to the betterment of those around them. Be it through academia, the sporting field, the stage or even in the simple act of coming and going each day, each member leaves a lasting impact on this school, its traditions and its future. This you will no doubt see documented in this edition of The Grammarian. It is the nature of communities like ours that its members leave and a new generation takes their place. To the Class of 2018, I trust that the hard work will pay off and I wish you all the best for what the future may hold. To the prospective Class of 2019, I wish you the best of luck for the ride that is Year 12. It will be
testing at times, but, if you work hard and work together, you will reap its rewards. Finally, to those who’ll be new to Camberwell in 2019, I trust that some of you, like so many before, will be feeling nervous. However, you can rest assured knowing that our community is diverse enough and its vision strong enough that you will soon find your place in it. Lastly, I would like to thank those who have worked behind the scenes in order to put this publication together. The student committee consisting of James Gunasegaram, Thomas Coulter, Kevin Chan, Jordan McCleery and Matthew Rodier who have dedicated themselves to School publications throughout the year. However, without the collective efforts of Mrs Dolling, Ms Denbury and their entire Development Office team, this magazine would not be possible. They deserve plenty of thanks as a result. We hope that you enjoy The Grammarian for 2018 and we trust that you will see that our learning community is as vibrant and as strong as ever. Will McIlroy Prefect for Publications

With construction around the school being completed for the first time in years, 2018 was an opportunity to continue to grow in our new Camberwell Grammar environment. With a new head of Senior School Mr Rob French, and Mr Troy Stanley Head of Middle School; the student body was also shaped by new leadership including the team of 2018 prefects who stole the show with their pots-and-pans rendition of Hot Cross Buns at House Music. This year was also the inception of ‘Zaidee’s Foundation Round’, a joint initiative of all nine AGSV schools, to increase the number of registered organ donors in Victoria. This was showcased in the opening round of the AGSV football season where the Mitre Cup, whilst not a victory for Camberwell, did see both teams run out in the foundation’s rainbow laces to cultivate awareness; a great showing of solidarity. Our time in school is as much about the experiences we share as it is the education we receive’ and this was embodied by all at Camberwell in 2018, with a swathe of new and old activities engaging the minds and bodies of everyone. This year was the inception of the House Chapel Services to increase involvement within the House showcasing a chosen quality, such as courage or honesty. House charities also returned in 2018, raising tens of thousands for various important organisations. The involvement of the student body and the broader community in the World’s Greatest Shave should be applauded
where Steven House raised over $30,000 for the fight against Leukemia. The number of bald heads around the school is a credit to the selflessness of not just the boys, but several teachers including Ms Kollosche, who was happy to let go of her hair in the name of charity. The year has been an amazing opportunity for both of us. To have had the chance to get to know as many of you as possible, to represent the student body and to have seen real change occur within our community, as well as those around us, has been a testament to the will and endeavour of everyone that values our motto Spectemur Agendo. As our time in the uniform comes to an end, we want to wish the Prefects of 2019 all the successes in their new roles. Their adeptness to lead will undoubtedly see the school continue to go from strength to strength. Jack Fitzgerald and Darcy MacCuspie School Captain and School Vice Captain

All Souls Chapel Life
Mustard Mentoring Faith
The large door opens by itself and from early morning boys, staff and visitors wander in. Early in the year Christian Education classes visit and throughout the term people come to sit and pray. Often the organ is heard as boys practise. More services are being held, yet the All Souls Chapel keeps its calm sacredness and remains the warm heart of the school.
For the last 15 years a Christian discussion group called ‘Mustard’ has been a quiet strength to our school. Eating together at lunchtime, boys from Senior and Middle School talk and help one another with spirituality. Special thanks to Mark Holmes from St Marks for his loyal support and many pizzas.

Senior School House Services
Junior School
It was with joy that we welcomed Senior School boys back to worship as each House gathered in the All Souls Chapel in their own way, with their own leadership. Themes of courage, unity and fellowship were celebrated and boys from Year 9 to Year 12 were part of a new means of support and a spiritual journey.
As light streamed through the stained-glass windows of the All Souls Chapel, there was a sense of wonder as staff and students contemplated the importance of light, not only to how we live but how our character reflects it. We discussed that like fireflies, we reflect light to those around us and when people see our good behaviour and the kind things we do, we are like a light shining in the darkness. The ‘Golden Rule’ theme has been a focus in the CE classrooms and it’s been exciting to see the boys not only discuss this biblical and life principle but put it into practice both within the Junior School and the wider community. Passionate about making a difference, the boys collected over 200 kilograms of toiletries for woman and children in crisis centres. The organisation we donated the toiletries to were amazed at the generosity and kindness of our boys.
The Angels and Prayer Group An important quiet strength to our school community is ‘The Angels’, who support and deliver food to those in need. Every month, usually in the third week the Chaplain and a group of parents meet in the All Souls Chapel. In our large community we have much to be grateful for and many are struggling with heavy burdens. If anyone would like to join us, please contact Rev Charles Butler or coordinator Mrs Ros Thorn.

INTRODUCTION
FAITH AND SOCIAL JUSTICE This year, the Rotary Interact Club continued to raise money for charities both locally and nationally. Through two movie nights, the Year 9 Social, a Bunnings sausage sizzle and a casual clothes day, we managed to raise over $16,000, a significant increase from last year’s total. This money will no doubt be of great benefit to our supported charities. We Can’t Wait and Ready Settle Go. The club also pledged its support towards Amnesty International’s My New Neighbour campaign, calling upon the Federal Government to broaden its community sponsorship program for refugees. Our Thursday lunchtime Mustard group also continued on this year, allowing students to deepen their faith with other like-minded individuals. We had many discussions about how Christianity fits into our modern-day, high-school lives and with the leadership of Mark Holmes from St. Mark’s, we had the opportunity to better understand ourselves. I hope this small but passionate group continues to grow next year as the boys develop along their spiritual journeys. Towards2050 began the year with Warrior Week where 200 students attempted to find alternatives to red meat. This year we also installed the largest amount of solar panels
Overall, this was an outstanding year for student engagement in faith and social justice activities.

of any school in Australia. This marked a major milestone in our history and demonstrated that our efforts can have a huge impact on the rest of the world. Furthermore, the recycling bins that were implemented last year have also been a great success making it significantly easier for students to recycle. All the House charity events were a huge success this year and allowed nearly all students to get involved in social justice activities. Bridgland continued on from its success last year with its second annual basketball tournament and Derham’s RSPCA Cupcake Day brought many students into the library. The Great Debate ran by Schofield pitted students against Mr Hone, Mr Grigg and Mr Worsnop in a very entertaining debate. Nevertheless, the most successful House charity event would have to be Steven’s support of the World’s Greatest Shave. Not only did this result in many bald heads around the school but also raised over $32,000 for the Leukemia Foundation – a highly commendable effort. Overall, this was an outstanding year for student engagement in faith and social justice activities and I wish Ian Kaharudin all the best for continuing this growth into 2019. Jake Brown Prefect for Faith and Social Justice
Once again 2018 saw the union between Camberwell Grammar’s Senior School, Middle School and Junior School. While separated and distinctively unique, we amalgamated together under the title of Grammarians. As synonymous to the years passed, this year began with the Junior and Middle School Mentoring program, strengthening bridges across the school. The program involved the older boys of the school giving up their free time to help and mentor in the Middle or Junior School boys across multiple disciplines. In Middle School volunteers could participate in classes that they were both interested in and knowledgeable about such as sciences, languages or visual art. Whilst in Junior School students could work in regular classes or the reading program associated with the library. This program did not just remain in the area of academics, but also the field and stage. Mentors assisted Jump Rope for Heart, enjoyably skipping along with the Junior School
boys. While in Middle School a Year 6 sports club aimed to build confidence and maturity for the newer students of Middle School. On the stage we had Senior boys participate in the Year 5 Orchestra, exchanging their music knowledge, while others assisted with the Middle School Choir. In celebration of the Prep’s 100 days of school, several Year 12 students came down dressed as ‘100 year-old men’. The day was full of fun and games, with the Preps suspicious of the strangers helping run activities. The much anticipated Prefect vs Junior School/Year 5 Soccer Match took place on the Junior School Green. It was a demanding and daunting task, entering into uncharted territories. The Prefects prepared and trained relentlessly, ready to utilise all our wisdom. Yet, the Year 5 students with their brilliant and skillful tacticians, outwitted goalie David McColl, scoring the final and winning goal, leaving the Prefects gutted. Thanks to the many students and teachers involved, participating with such eagerness and warmth; despite being such a demanding year for the Year 12s. A special thanks to the Heads of Junior School, Middle School and Senior School for their constant, tireless efforts to create activities and bridges within the school. Finally, congratulations to Junior School and Middle School Liaison Prefect for 2019, Thomas Graves. I know you will do fabulously! Wish you the best! Sahil Balgovind Prefect for Junior and Middle School Liaison

JUNIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOL LIAISON
CURRICULUM INTRODUCTION
The teachers in the Junior School have been on a journey to create new stimulating units of work which will inspire curiosity.
Junior School Curiosity makes our brains more receptive for learning and makes learning more effective and enjoyable. Curious students not only ask questions but also actively seek out the answers. As you wander through the Junior School, you will see curious students actively engaged in their learning and lessons. In our Junior School you will also find Yetis. Yetis are powerful learners who work hard, put in effort, love learning, take risks and respond to feedback. Yetis know that as learners we may not be there yet, but they are working on it. Our weekly Yeti award encourages this philosophy. The classrooms are places where multiple pathways abound, and failure is regarded as a positive step toward discovery and a successful solution. This year the teachers in the Junior School have been on a journey to create new stimulating units of work which will inspire curiosity. They have been following the principle of Backward by Design where the end goal becomes the starting point. The teachers have been busy writing new units using the program EduPlanet21, learning from one another and providing feedback to refine the work. A highlight was our EduPlanet Expo where the teachers showcased and shared units of work. As teachers it is important for us to be active learners and share strategies we use with our students. Running parallel with this has been the continuation of focused classroom peer 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 several teachers in the classroom. The use of STEM activities through all years and a robust Robotics program in Year 4 and 5 have allowed our students to inquire think investigate and innovate. We now have a designated Robotics area in Kingussie.

There have been many drama enthusiasts who have taken the opportunity to develop their performance skills in Term 3 and 4 with Mr Mathew McRae. Club Norge has also provided students the opportunity to work together across grade levels through their sports activities and the very popular Chess Club on Friday afternoons. Parent Information sessions are a way of informing the parent community of what is being taught and ways in which they can help at home. Four sessions were held this year. For parents in Prep and Year 1 the teaching of reading and how parents can help; Years 4 and 5 cyber safety and the iPad program; Year 5 the Sex Education program, Life Education program and the importance of health education in schools. Boys in Year 12 this year were recruited as mentors by the Year 12 Junior School Liaison Prefect Sahil Balgovind. The Senior School boys all look forward to the visits and 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, meet some new boys 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
Middle School Our Middle School curriculum is designed for middle years students: to engage and challenge them; to provide safe structures as they explore their newfound independence; to guide them as they deal with the challenges of an increasingly complex technological world and to provide them with the skills, confidence and sensitivity they will need in their dealings with others and their decision-making throughout their lives. It is constantly evolving in response to our changing world, students’ interests and activities, and developments in educational thinking and pedagogies. We continue to build collaborative activities, often incorporating design thinking, into core curricula, allowing each student to develop key skills that he will need in his schooling and beyond. Rather than work through prescribed activities, students are given scope to design their own solutions to problems and to work with others in refining their product to meet the demands of the task. Creative solutions involve adapting technologies and reimagining how materials can be used to suit their purposes.

We continue to build collaborative activities, often incorporating design thinking, into core curricula, allowing each student to develop key skills that he will need in his schooling and beyond.
Our Personal and Social Development course – a key part of our pastoral care program – has been reviewed over the past 18 months and the new course commenced this year. The main changes involved the introduction and explication of the School’s values and an increased emphasis on respectful relationships. This has broad application and colours many aspects of students’ lives: the way they interact with each other in the classroom, the schoolyard and in their online world, and their attitudes towards women. Several incursions throughout the year offered students the opportunity to see these issues through different scenarios and media, including theatrical presentations, lectures and role plays. Our students continue to perform well in external activities, including poetry recitations, various competitions in Mathematics, Science and Geography, and in challenges such as the da Vinci Decathlon, Tournament of Minds and Debating. Thank you to all Middle School staff and students for a wonderful year. We look forward to meeting the challenges that 2019 has to offer. Mr Scott Wyatt Deputy Head of Middle School

INTRODUCTION
Senior School On every level, 2018 has been a successful year academically. Based on previous years’ success in the VCE and the hard work that our current Year 12 students made this year, we look forward with great anticipation to yet another academic year of pleasing results for our graduating students. Of course, academic achievements at the VCE level is only one indicator of a successful year for the school. There are many instances of success at each year level in the Middle and Senior schools, and the following pages tell the story of many of the challenges and successes of our students. You will read about the success in state-wide, national or international competitions in mathematics, science, languages and commerce, music recitals and theatrical performances. These are accounts of boys who will have striven to achieve excellence. But excellence is broader than just performing well in an examination, test or competition, excellence is about always trying to improve and to do the very best one can. And in every class, in every year level, there are students who have worked hard and tried to achieve their best. They have worked hard to master skills or develop an understanding that had previously eluded them- this is their excellence. To help students achieve their best, our academic program includes a variety of real-life experiences through visits from external presenters and organisations, to excursions, trips, and tours. Whether it’s the involvement of our Year 6 students in Indigenous week; Year 7 students participating in Civics week, Year 8 students engaging in activities in Sustainability week, learning about our historical development at Sovereign Hill as part of the Year 9 program; going on exchanges to France or attending an Indonesian concert in Year 11, each experience is designed to broaden the boys’ understanding of the ideas they study in class. At every level, the environment in which our students learn these academic skills and knowledge aims to foster a growing sense of
12 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
autonomy, the ability to work in a concerted way on a problem (both individually and as part of a team), to learn the essential skills of communication and to take initiative and ever-increasing responsibility for their own learning. These are sophisticated and important skills that often take time and effort to learn, but are invaluable to our students, both while at school and in their future. Our teachers always aim to support their students to be the very best they can, and the school has a Professional Development program in place that aims to support our teachers. The Instructional Coaching program, which has been running for the past four years, is designed to help teachers continue to grow in their professional skills and become more reflective practitioners, thereby improving the learning outcomes of their students. All teachers participate in the Coaching program and work individually with a coach for a semester at a time. Lessons are often filmed and the teacher views the recording, and with the help of the coach, uses this information to reflect on the effectiveness of pedagogical strategies and refine future learning activities. All of the activities that are undertaken by our staff in the ongoing development of the content of courses, or the devising of appropriate learning experiences, or the changes and continuous improvement to their teaching methods, are based on what is best for our students today and into the future. Mr Laurie Ince Director of Teaching
The teachers in the Junior School have been on a journey to create new stimulating units of work which will inspire curiosity.
Working Through the Rubbish 2018 was a massive year for Towards2050. At the start of Term 2, the new co-mingled recycling bins were making their first, tentative steps into the School grounds. At that point, there were many questions, many posters and many speeches to the student body during assembly still to come as we brought home the new message: hard plastic, cardboard, paper and cans all go in the yellow bins. The property office recently had one of our landfill skips permanently taken away because it was no longer being filled. In itself, this is a massive achievement. But obsessing over the levels of rubbish in the school has brought to mind some interesting ideas. First and foremost is a realisation that the school is a common point of reference for well over 1,000 families. It is a place that most families would find easy to access by car at least once a month, and that opens up a whole range of possibilities. By the start of 2019, we will have clothes and e-waste collection in the Highton carpark, at the end of Gate 5. The idea behind this is to provide an opportunity for people to easily and conveniently recycle the detritus of modern life by bringing it to school, and so steering poisons away from landfill. The first stage of this
program was seen when the MobileMuster box was installed in the library. As we move forward, we hope to provide both information and opportunity to encourage behavioural change within the broader school community. There can be no doubt that those things we deal with on a daily basis – be they phones, computers, televisions or clothes – are much better being reused than they are at slowly breaking down. As we refine our waste streaming program, one of the goals driving Towards2050 is to make it easier for members of our community to embrace this change. 2018 was, as I said, a massive year for our group and our school. But it was just the beginning – and now, as we look forward into the misty vista of years to come, the developing waste program within the school suggests there will be many such years of growth and development. Mr Will Hone Sustainability Coordinator
As we refine our waste streaming program, one of the goals driving Towards2050 is to make it easier for members of our community to embrace this change.

TOWARDS2050
INTRODUCTION
Joining Towards2050
Captain’s Call
Before I joined Towards2050, I thought anyone in the group was an ecological lunatic who’s destiny was to impede on my comfort and choice. However, once I (somehow) found myself joining the organisation I was met by surprise. The group had structure and discipline, which I certainly thought was beyond these green-gilled maniacs.
For several years now Towards2050 has been the project of a small group of students but this year that changed. During 2018, the group moved into the public eye as it became an established part of the school, influencing change and searching for new projects to embrace.
After being subjected to Mr Hone’s barrage of information regarding the solar panels, the new bins, the posters, competitions and waste reduction goals, I realised that this group has experienced massive growth in recent years. Towards2050 went from being a group of five to an organisation comprised of 36 determined individuals whose destiny is not to impede on my comfort but to help do what they can in their community to make the world a better place. Nevertheless, determined to make my own choices, I remained iron-willed in my mission to keep using plastic drink bottles up until a week ago when I collected my stainless steel drink bottle that actually was a better alternative. This shift also coincided with another event – my first trip to an environmental conference at the end of Term 3. I was amongst the small group of Towards2050 students who travelled to Nossal High School to meet with other like-minded individuals trying to have a positive impact on the world. When I talked to people from other schools during the day, I realised that without the support of the broader community these students were struggling to achieve anything like the school-wide programs that have been rolling out at Camberwell Grammar. It was a turning point – a moment when I realised that Towards2050 has been a part of some massive changes and that these changes are just beginning. This is real, and I want to be a part of its future. So at the year’s end, I suppose I have changed my opinion of Towards2050 – they are perhaps less the ecological lunatics I first thought and more changemakers I want to be a part of as I move forward. Campbell Brown Year 11 14 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Towards2050 is driving a significant shift in the school. This year saw the installation of over 2,600 solar panels to produce 888kw of solar power. It is a massive undertaking which members of the group have been working on since 2016 and is now producing just over 40% of our power. We also installed a new approach to waste streaming and ran a poster competition on Open Day to encourage further engagement. A driving force behind these changes is not only reducing the school’s environmental impact, but also raising our students’ awareness of their ability to influence change around these global environmental issues. Whilst the initiatives undertaken by this group have been supported by teachers, they have primarily been carried out by students, and I can tell you from experience, seeing a project through to completion is one of the many valuable experiences of being a part of Towards2050. Actually translating ideas and thoughts into a real and visible impact on the world around you is extremely empowering and is perhaps part of the reason our group is growing at such a rate. It goes without saying that being a member of Towards2050 has been an extremely satisfying part of my school life and I would encourage those of you not involved to join us on Friday afternoons to see what the group is all about.

DEPARTMENT NOTES
2018 marks 60 years of teaching Chinese Language at Camberwell Grammar School. We began teaching the Chinese Language in 1958 and were the first school in Australia to do so.
Chinese 2018 marks the year of the dog on the Chinese calendar. In Term 1, we invited a Chinese music group from China to perform at the Chinese New Year celebrations. In Term 1, 14 students from our sister school in Xi’an, China, visited the school for three weeks. 2018 also marks 60 years of teaching Chinese Language at Camberwell Grammar School. We began teaching the Chinese Language in 1958 and were the first school in Australia to do so. When Mr Glynn France recommended that our school introduce Mandarin Chinese as a subject in the late 1950s, he envisioned a future Australia with strong ties to Asia and argued persuasively that by learning Chinese our students would be better placed to take part in that world. As a result, in the last 60 years many of our graduates have gone on to live and work in China and the Asian region. On 7 September, a celebration was held and The Hon Josh Frydenberg MP, officially opened the ceremony, beginning the day’s celebrations at the 2018 Victorian Chinese Language Teachers’ Conference held in our Performing Arts Centre. We also hosted representatives from our three sister schools in China and over 250 students and teachers from CGS and neighbouring schools. A Chinese music band from Xi’an performed at the beginning of the celebration. They also performed at our Biennial Concert. A new VCE Chinese subject, Chinese Language, Culture and Society has been introduced at Camberwell Grammar School this year and six students from Year 11 and 12 have taken this course.

INTRODUCTION
Commerce
English
Once again the Commerce Department has provided dynamic and varied experiences in a range of subject areas covering politics, government and financial literacy. Students are prepared for entering a world in which they will become active participants in the law, economics and the investment/business world.
The move toward more ongoing reporting and assessment has seen changes to the way Schoology has been utilised in the English classroom, especially in the Senior School. We look forward to adapting and incorporating technologies and systems into our evolving methodologies. This includes reference resources like Libguides that have been so ably compiled by Ms Regine Miriklis in the Weickhardt Library.
During the year, students participated in a number of excursions which allowed them to see first-hand what they learnt in the classroom. VCE students attended the County and Supreme Courts to watch criminal procedure in action and then subsequently met and interrogated prisoners at Kareenga Prison to gain an understanding of the effectiveness of prisons and how our society deals with those who step outside its laws. They also engaged in market surveys at the Queen Vic Market to see a working model of supply and demand and its effect on prices. Students studying Year 9 and 10 Commerce visited the halls of the Victorian Parliament to watch democracy action, to take a trip back in time and participate in Ned Kelly’s trial and wander the cells of the Old Melbourne Gaol where Ned spent his last days. Students were processed for misdemeanours in the City Watch House and placed in custody pending further investigations. Commerce is an integral part of every student’s education and an understanding of the society they live in is of paramount importance. The Commerce program and staff bring the classroom alive and foster an inquiring mind within each student. Mr Andrew Warne Head of Commerce
E-Learning This year, focus groups with parents and teachers have helped to provide valuable information to the school as it continues to refine and develop its online reporting and assessment strategies. This includes a continued focus on the delivery of online curriculum resources to students and enabling parents to view their sons’ progress online throughout the year. This will work in conjunction with continued staff professional development and information sessions for parents to help the Camberwell learning community move into a digitised learning space.
Student performance has again been impressive across the year levels. The development of skills over the duration of many years culminates in VCE studies, where the most notable become our prize recipients. Congratulations to Aidan Chu (Year 11) for being awarded the Brian Gill Memorial Prize for English, to Nathan Martin (Year 12) for his achievement in securing the highly sought after Mervyn Britten Award, and to Benjamin Chesler (Year 12) for securing the equally prestigious Shirley Thomas William Goodwin Prize for Literature. We have been fortunate over many years to have a very stable teaching team. This year we say farewell to two mighty contributors to the department. Ms Victoria Papaioannou joined us a few years ago to bolster English teaching across the School with her experience, enthusiasm and professionalism, but importantly breathe life into the English Language course alongside Mr James Victor. Her willingness to share resources, her collegial and friendly personality will be missed by staff and students. We are also saddened by the departure of Mr Colin Stein. His 11 years at the school have been highly decorated with achievements, most notably in his role as Middle School History and English Coordinator. His mastery of Schoology and his approachable leadership style has made him an asset that will be difficult to replace. We wish him all the best at his new school. The last note should be left for the stalwart and gentleman of the department. 2018 is Mr John Allen’s 50th year of teaching at Camberwell Grammar. He continues to be an excellent teacher and colleague, and thankfully for us, maintains the energy and passion to keep coming back! Mr Rick Mason Head of English
We look forward to continuing these efforts in 2019. Mr Matthew Wood Head of E-Learning The Camberwell Grammarian 2018 | 17
INTRODUCTION
This year 97 students competed in the Alliance Française Berthe Mouchette competition. Half of the students were awarded 19/20 or above in the oral component, resulting in 23 state finalists.
English as an Additional Language In 2018 Camberwell Grammar School ran EAL classes for Years 9 to 12 students, with the Years 9 and 10 composite class being taught by Mr James Victor. Mr Michael Daniel taught the Years 11 and 12 classes. As in previous years, Years 9 and 10 students used the Headway Course. The Year 11 class consisted of 11 students and the texts they studied included King Oedipus, Night, Breaker Morant and Twelve Angry Men. These texts were chosen because they are accessible to EAL students and have all previously been on the Year 12 course. Hence, EAL students gained an understanding of the type of texts they are expected to study at Year 12 level. The Year 12 cohort was the second group to undertake the new Units 3 and 4 EAL course. Students completed regular listening comprehension practice tasks, usually based on material from the ABC Radio National website. They read Medea for the single text analysis. For the comparative study, students studied 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 Michael Daniel Head of English as an Additional Language
French This year saw the launch of a CGS French Connection, a new social group for Francophile parents, but not necessarily Frenchspeaking. Events this year included attending the French Film Festival, an evening at Brasserie Franco-Belge and a Cheese and Wine soirée. In July/August, seven CGS families hosted students from Lycée Assomption Bellevue, Lyon- our largest group yet! In December, eight Year 10 CGS students will embark on the second part of the exchange where they will experience a French Christmas and New Year with their Lyon hosts. This year 97 students competed in the Alliance Française Berthe Mouchette competition. Half of the students were awarded 19/20 or above in the oral component, resulting in 23 state finalists. Félicitations to Darcy Livingstone who came third in the State for his poetry recitation. Furthermore, in the written examination, we had nine finalists. Bravo to Luke Doblin, Sam Schwenk, 18 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Jamie Garnham and Hamish Monckton for being State finalists in both oral and written components. In November, several students sat the DELF examination. Students are required to complete extra units of study on top of their regular workload and if they succeed in the exam, the results are valid for life. In other news, we farewell Mr Steve Cooper who is retiring this year. He has been Head of Department and a valued French teacher at CGS for almost 30 years. He will be terribly missed by staff and students alike. Au revoir, Monsieur Cooper! Ms Naomi Eckersley Head of French
Geography This year the Geography Department continued to evolve its curriculum with some exciting developments in both fieldwork opportunities and course-based projects. At Year 9, students explored the world’s biomes and potential impacts on future food security whilst visiting the Melbourne Museum’s rainforest walk, one of the biomes covered within the curriculum. Year 10 students studied environmental change, focussing their studies on the human effects leading to climate change and the impacts this will have for future generations. The students also explored the factors of health, wealth and education and the differing levels of wellbeing seen around the world.
VCE Units 1 and 2 in Year 11, organised by Mr Ian March, tackles the issues and management of natural disasters and the human centred tourism industry. As part of this course, students visit Melbourne’s Dockland’s precinct, where they collect, analyse and present data for their final fieldwork report. Units 3 and 4, studied at both Year 11 and 12 levels, engages the students through the study and management of local land use, in our case the land use change at Moorabbin Airport. As part of their fieldwork visit to the region, students gain a rare insight into the airport, from above! Courtesy of a helicopter flight, they are able to take photographs and appreciate the surrounding hinterland. The pilot also gave them a guided tour complete with insight into the factors affecting a working regional airport. Unit 3 and 4 students continue their studies and research into climate change, through melting glaciers and ice sheets, desertification and deforestation, from present and back over the past 21,000 years. The final topic of study is global population, where the students analyse population growth theory and policies, focussing on the case studies of Germany and Bangladesh. As part of their final year studies the students attend a series of lectures on land cover and human population in the Quinn Lecture Theatre by Dr Stephen Legg, a Professor at Monash University. Finally I would like to thank Mr Ian March, Ms Jennifer Turnnidge, Ms Katrina Massey and Mr Michael Daniel for their continued efforts in teaching our students. In particular I would like to thank Ms Victoria Papaiouannou, for her three years of service to the school, and wish her luck as she leaves us at the end of the year. Mr Tim Cross Head of Geography
History With China and Russia continuing to feature prominently in the headlines in 2018, Year 12 History students grappled with the challenges of understanding the causes and consequences of the Russian and Chinese revolutions. VCE Global Politics also continued to provoke heated debate among its 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. Two History classes at Year 11 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. The History courses at Years 9 and 10 continue to be favourably received by CGS students. These courses are important in educating responsible Australian citizens, focusing on such topics as the impact of European settlement on indigenous Australians; key political movements and forces (for example, Imperialism, Capitalism and Nationalism) that have shaped the modern world; the Holocaust during World War 2 and the issues of refugees and asylum-seekers. 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

This year the Geography Department continued to evolve its curriculum with some exciting developments in both fieldwork opportunities and course-based projects to come.
INTRODUCTION
Indonesian In the Indonesian Department, we aim to develop learning experiences that enable students to go into the world and experience the richness and diversity of another culture, adding another dimension to their personal and professional lives. Through our curriculum, excursions and incursions, we hope to help our students engage with the rich and vibrant culture of Indonesia, and perhaps to be inspired to take one-day treks through the mountains of Java, experience the peaceful surroundings of rice paddies and beaches or go diving in the Bandas Islands and explore the stunning beauty of Raja Ampat.
In 2018 the school has been fortunate enough to participate in the Indonesian Language Learning Ambassadors Program, sponsored by the Australia Awards Indonesia in partnership with the Asia Education Foundation. Under this program, our students receive the benefits of meeting and speaking weekly with Indonesian nationals who are in Australia studying postgraduate courses under a scholarship from the Indonesia Government. This is a wonderful opportunity for our boys to engage directly with highly educated Indonesian professionals and learn first-hand about their lives and customs. In addition, this year saw the Year 11 and 12 students attend the Indonesian Film Festival, the Year 10 and 9 students attend a concert by well-known Indonesian singer Michael J at St.Bedes followed by an Indonesian lunch, and the Year 7 students attended a CERES excursion as well as a gamelan/wayang kulit incursion with the Year 8s. Recently, Australia signed a free trade agreement with Indonesia which is now one of the fastest growing economies in the world. This will no doubt lead to many opportunities for Australians in the near future through business and other avenues, and those who can speak Indonesian and have an appreciation of the Indonesian culture will be even better placed to take advantage of such opportunities. Ms Janet Sharman Head of Indonesian

Work has begun on creating virtual reality experiences which will further our amalgam of computer-based and mobile phonebased learning for the future. In this realm, the building of apps, for example using thunkable, and studies of HTML/CSS/ JavaScript rapidly further student understanding, use of and innovation with web-based interactivity.
2018, as with all other recent years in IT has seen a swathe of changes and new projects.

Latin It has been delightful to see Mr Sam Gough back in action around the Latin Department this year. His hearty laugh and energetic personality were greatly missed, and one has little doubt, on observing him, that he is keen to regain lost ground and that his students will be receiving the most enthusiastic instruction. It has been equally delightful to welcome Mr John Tuckfield into the burgeoning fold of Doctors – myself, Dr Bird, and now, Dr Tuckfield, whose doctoral research on the educational value of teaching languages in schools will certainly prove of greater value to more people than the research gleaned from most PhD studies! As a sort of celebration, I suppose, the three Doctors collaborated on a wonderful Latin Tour over the September holiday break, guiding 22 Year 10 and 11 students through the ancient sites and modern attractions of Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Split, Dubrovnik. We were joined in Rome by yet another Dr, Dr Paul Hicks, our Headmaster, who had heard much about the tour over the years and was keen to experience a segment of it for himself. The great soaring dome of the Vatican, the cavernous Palace of Domitian, the evocative ruins of Pompeii beneath the broken peak of Vesuvius—all the superb vestiges of antiquity cast their usual spell, and both staff and boys returned exhausted in body but rejuvenated and inspired in spirit. We anticipate that this spirit will sustain us through the coming summer break and prove the foundation for another gratifying year of great learning and great fun in 2019. Dr Tebb Kusserow Head of Latin
Learning Enhancement The Gifted and Talented dimension to the Learning Support Department provided students with a range of enrichment and extension options. Entry into History quizzes, Mathematics competitions, the da Vinci Decathlon at Years 7, 8 and 10, and a range of public speaking tasks meant that the department was kept very busy with preparation for these and general coaching. In February a record 16 teams from Years 9 to 12 participated in the National Computational and Linguistics Competition (OZCLO) with one of our Senior teams successful in winning their way to the State Final held at the University Of Melbourne as one of three teams in the State to do so. Two teams represented Camberwell Grammar School at the National da Vinci Decathlon at Knox Grammar School, Sydney. Our Year 7 team acquitted themselves well in all disciplines, and our Year 10 team came third in their division, returning home with Bronze medals worn proudly around their necks. The annual Gladwyn Cup which simulates the United Nations Security Council in session was rigorously contested again this year with James Gunasegaram and Andrew Zeng representing the United Kingdom being judged the winning team in diplomacy, speaking skills and knowledge of their country’s foreign policy. A record number of Camberwell teams participated in the State and National based United Nations Evatt Cup. Camberwell Grammar School was successful in getting three teams through to the semi-

finals and Christian Chene and Ryan Campbell were successful in reaching the national final held in Hobart in December. Other competitions entered were teams in the Annual Academic Challenge day at Kingswood College, a regional constitutional convention at Lalor Secondary College and with two boys, Rohan Hodges and Haotian Huang being invited to the State Convention at Parliament House. The BrainBee Competition at the Florey Institute in June was a very successful day for the School with our Year 10 team winning the State teams competition and Kaelan Fraser the State Individual winner earning the right to represent Victoria at the Nationals in Queensland in December. Mr Paul Double Head of Enrichment In 2018 we were fortunate to welcome two new members of staff to the Learning Support department. Mrs Colleen Jarrett-Burke commenced as Head of Learning Support in the Junior School where she has been busy reviewing processes and enhancing the literacy program 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. Ms Claire Tighe joined the Middle School team in Term 2, assisting a number of students in class as well as working with students one to one. This has allowed us to offer the Multilit program to students with word reading difficulties. We also introduced a new numeracy support program to the Year 7 and 8 students. This is based on Victorian research of Middle Years students’ numeracy ability, with the aim of improving their multiplicative thinking, partitioning and proportional reasoning. We are grateful to Ms Carmen Morgan and Mr Julian Grigg for all they have done to develop this program. A focus for us this year was to review and improve processes for sharing information about students, as well as leading professional learning for our colleagues on Autism Spectrum Disorder and improving students’ literacy skills. We have also undertaken a range of interesting professional learning sessions inlcuding PD with the Australian Centre for Educational Research about our reading assessment data. We are delighted that Mrs Helen Papageorgiou will be joining our team next year. Ms Ciara Chaomhanach Head of Learning Support
Our students have enjoyed continued success in mathematics during 2018. It is marvellous to see the high regard in which mathematics is held by the student body as a whole and the enthusiastic response they give to their high achieving peers. In 2018 Camberwell students competed in a range of competitions and games days. In the Melbourne University Mathematics Competition, held in August, a number of students were the recipients of Outstanding Prizes. These students were Flynn Helmer of Year 7, Philip Wang of Year 10 and Oliver Papillo and Andrew Zeng of Year 11. Charles Li of Year 12 received second prize in the Senior Division. Our students continued to enjoy success in the Australian Mathematics Competition with a large number of students receiving prizes or high distinction certificates. Charles Li received a perfect score in the Senior Division of the competition this year and will attend a ceremony at Government House in Sydney to receive his medal. Charles Li was selected to represent Australia as a member of the team competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad. The competition this year was held in Romania in July. Charles and his teammates performed exceptionally well and Charles returned with a Silver medal. Dr Philip Swedosh, state director of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee, presented Charles with his medal at a school assembly. Dr Swedosh commented on the incredible difficulty of the problems that Charles was required to solve and noted that while Australia sends hundreds of elite athletes to the Olympic Games, only the very best six young mathematicians are selected to represent Australia at the International Mathematical Olympiad. Our students continued to perform well in the Mathematics Games Days in 2018. Our Year 10 team came third at Trinity Grammar School and our Year 11 and 12 teams were the winners at the event hosted here at Camberwell Grammar School.
Our students are able to enjoy such success because of the tireless efforts of the staff of the Mathematics Department throughout all levels of the school. Congratulations to all the students who competed in the competitions and games days held throughout the year and many thanks to the staff who made it all possible. Dr David Rodgers Head of Mathematics
The Murdoch Centre for Educational Research and Innovation The Murdoch Centre for Educational Research and Innovation has had its inaugural year, a year spent planning and setting up projects. The mission of the centre, existing in a virtual location only at this stage, is to lead and drive the transformation of the lives of children through education. The centre will guide the school to the future and provide work of significant value to the development of education in Australia. Two projects in development have progressed significantly this year. Much work has been done on the two flagship Academies for the school (Sport and Music - designed to boost the performance of both top-level students and the general student population, the outline of operational plans and job descriptions have been workshopped and leaders of these two academies have been elected and appointed. We look forward to these projects hitting the ground in 2019 and lifting our school. With the Chinese Department, the Centre helped celebrate Camberwell’s 60th anniversary teaching Chinese with a conference that featured international speakers, representatives from the Chinese embassy, the Australian Federal Government, universities and the VCAA. The conference was a success and helped promote the school as a centre of high-level language learning and investigation. Research papers have now been written on People Skills/Soft Skills/21st Century Skills, reviewing the literature on the subject, the approaches taken across the world and describing an approach that would best suit the school; and Growth Assessment (a key feature of the Gonski Review published earlier this year), outlining two ways in which this could be done - a first for a school in Australia. Work is underway on the issues of micro-credentialing and digital badges, and this should continue to a pilot phase in 2019. This will also put CGS in the lead of schools in Australia. A series of RIP talks (Research, Information and Practice) aimed at sharing new ideas among teachers has begun, with an introduction to using virtual reality in the classroom by Mr Mark Williams, Ms Rachel Wu and a team of students. These talks will be an ongoing feature of the centre and a way of encouraging staff to share innovations and best practice.

All students from Prep to Year 12 were again actively involved in Physical Education practical classes throughout the year which remains the largest program in the school.
Physical Education The Physical Education Department had another exciting year. This was our second year in the new Sports Centre and our program continues to grow and develop. We saw the inaugural year of Sports Science as a Year 10 elective with two classes and the display cabinets fitted out with vibrant and informative information relating to our subject. All students from Prep to Year 12 were again actively involved in Physical Education practical classes throughout the year which remain the largest programme in the school. At any given time, there were up to five classes running with students participating in a wide range of sports. At the end of the year we farewelled Ms Kirsty McDougall to go on maternity leave. Mr Rhys Thomas will come back for the year to teach Physical Education and run some of the co-curricular activities in Ms McDougall’s absence and Mr Charlie Lockwood will also teach Physical Education, Sports Science and History. Both have previously been employed by the school to cover other teaching allotments. We have also had the pleasure to work with Miss Carla Presutti and Miss Ella Enniss, our AFL trainees, who competently supported the eight members of the Middle and Senior School Physical Education department. The department provided a multi-activity Physical Education program that introduced students to a wide range of sports with the aim to promote a life-long 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 conducting swimming units across Year 7 to 10 and a Water Safety program to the Year 7 and 8 students. All Year 9 students were provided with a half term introduction to resistance and cardio training by our newly appointed Strength and Conditioning Coordinator, Mr Paul Sartori. Many of these students and others took up the opportunity to use this facility in their own time at lunch and after school under the guidance and supervision of our personal trainers, Adam and Jay.
24 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Another feature of the Year 9 curriculum is the boys’ involvement in the Sport Education in Physical Education program (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 and 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 cooperatively 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 academic workload, understand that there should be a balance between work and other play 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). Our Year 12 students participated in an Enhancement Program that was conducted by Exercise Research Australia. Students interacted with leading Australian sports scientists in an elite athlete testing facility. This program provided students 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 once again working cohesively, collaboratively and professionally to provide our students with an outstanding program. We have managed to implement a successful Year 10 Sports Science elective and I’m thrilled that interest in our subject continues to swell with an extra Year 12 Unit 3 and 4 and Year 10 Sports Science class scheduled for 2019. Mr David Beardsley Head of Physical Education
This year, 18 of our boys participated in the inaugural tour to the Galapagos Islands. This combined Science/Geography event involved two weeks of witnessing some of the world’s rare natural wonders. It began with a hike up Cotapaxi, the earth’s highest active volcano at 4,000 metres. This was a breath-taking experience in more than the sense of it being awesome since the high altitude made our legs struggle to move.
Science Science is an activity that requires carefully set out procedures that carry out reproducible experiments. Anything that does not meet these criteria is not Science. As with previous years, Science staff ran a fun Science Day with Norge boys, introducing Year 4 and 5 students to Senior School Science. Following last year’s special Biology-focused sessions, this year it was Physics and Chemistry’s turn. This year, Ms Katrina Massey took on the position of Middle School Science coordinator and worked well to keep activities effective and streamlined. She replaced Mr Ian Cathcart, who had produced exemplary work in this role for many years.
Galapagos has a large number of unusual endemic species and so much wildlife was observed. Each island offered new delights, including giant tortoises, sea turtles, reef sharks, pink flamingos, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, sea lions and strangely, penguins. Since these animals have never been hunted but only visited by humans armed with cameras, we were able to get up close to enjoy watching them live in such an amazing setting. This tour attracted boys with a fascination for nature and complements our Space Camp’s budding engineers. It is hoped that these two tours will in future run on alternate years and will appeal to, and be an inspiration for, a broad range of students. Mr Gordon Wilson Head of Science

Throughout the day our spaces were filled with boys studying, doing homework, reading or playing the ever-popular chess.
The Weickhardt Library 2018 has been another busy and productive year in the Weickhardt Library. We launched LibGuides, a content management system containing information relevant to all subjects, levels and Library Link, an app allowing library users to check and renew borrowings, search the catalogue, place reservations and submit reviews. We also tweaked the configuration of our floorplan and installed new signage. We offered classes on research and online databases, literature promotion and a Year 6 program. The Middle School Book Club and Cartoon and Drawing Clubs were treated to an illustration workshop by manga artists and the Staff Book Club enjoyed regular discussions. We introduced a lunchtime MakerSpace, where boys participated in activities from icy-pole stick constructions and bookmark making to robotics. Throughout the day our spaces were filled with boys studying, doing homework, reading or playing the ever-popular chess.

Award-winning young adult author, Mr Will Kostakis, entertained us with hilarious anecdotes as guest speaker at our ever-popular Blokes’ Book Breakfast In Term 4 we thanked and farewelled Mrs Michelle Walsh, a library staff member for almost fifteen years, who worked in both the Weickhardt and Herborn Libraries. My sincere thanks to Miss Heather Falconer, Mrs Regine Miriklis, Mrs Janine Pietralla and Mrs Margaret Watt in the Weickhardt Library; to Mrs Anna Emmett and Mrs Michelle Walsh, Mr Stuart Feldt and the Computer Centre and Maintenance teams for their ongoing support. Finally thank you to Friends of Library, who enable us to provide so many wonderful resources for our students and staff. Mrs Catherine Casey Head of Library and Information Services
JUNIOR SCHOOL
JUNIOR SCHOOL REPORT JUNIOR SCHOOL
Find Your Treasure Book Week is a favourite time in Junior School for young and old. It is a time to have fun and revel in the joys of literature with all it offers in terms of imagination, information or the sheer indulgence in just another great story. The library runs a rich program of activities, competitions, conversations, as well as presentations from contemporary authors. This year Alan Brough, author of Charlie and the War Against the Grannies and Jane Godwin, highly acclaimed author and publisher of books for young readers, enthused and informed the boys about the art of being a writer. The theme of this year’s Book Week was ‘Find Your Treasure’ and was open to many creative interpretations expressed in a stunning array of costumes worn by boys and staff. It was an interesting theme and I would like to consider the idea that the treasure is not ‘out there’ but rather ‘in there’. We often ask the boys to seek out their best self, to grow their goodness through acts of kindness and care, and to make good choices. Academic achievement and intellectual or athletic prowess without quality of character are hollow attributes and potentially harmful. This year’s Junior School production The Chocolate Factory explored the character attributes of the key characters in the story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by renowned author Roald Dahl. The boys gained much from the message and the making of this show. Confidence, perseverance, optimism, resilience, honesty, integrity, cooperation, empathy, respect and acceptance of differences were not only explored but also developed throughout the process. The Junior School production is a fine example of the whole Junior School working together – boys, teachers and parents. Many boys discovered something new and positive about themselves. They grew more confident and happier because of their time on stage. There are boys for whom this production has been a game changer, adding a spring in their step, or revealing a new direction or interest. The 2018 year has been rich and diverse in the learning experiences enjoyed by the boys. The boys clearly love their school and engage wholeheartedly in its offerings. I pay tribute to the dedicated staff that have developed an extensive program that provides experiences for boys to discover their talents and encourages their personal development.

The coding and robotics program had an enthusiastic following of upper-grade boys, Theatre Club was a popular program for budding thespians, and the multitude of instrumental and vocal programs was also noteworthy. Learning has not been confined to the classrooms. Each boy will have his own particular memories and highlights, maybe their class camp; one of the concerts, soirées or performances; House Games Day; Maths Day; Science Day; the Life Education program; the sports days; the projects and presentations; excursions and incursions; Open Day; assemblies or maybe Book Week. Once again, it was a real benefit and delight to have Senior boys and Year 8 mentors playing an active and very important role in Junior School; assisting in classrooms and with various activities but especially working with and mentoring the younger boys. The Junior boys enjoyed the footy day with the First XVIII Football players, and also the fun of the Prefects vs. Year 5 soccer match won again by Junior School. This year in the Junior School we welcomed Mrs Colleen Jarrett Burke as Head of Student Support; Mr John Killeen as Year 5 teacher; Miss Yue Zhuo as Chinese Assistant, Mrs Natalie Rice as our Chaplain and Mrs Caroline Gatley, our Prep teacher, took leave mid-year and was replaced by Miss Zoe Linnell. 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. Throughout the year the Junior School has received tremendous support from its parent community. The Friends of Norge executive, Jenny Thurlby, Ivy Lun, Roula Andreopolous, Isabel Tilley and Atid Page provided leadership, energy and imagination when it came to preparing and presenting the myriad activities that build our sense of community. They had very generous and enthusiastic support from fellow parents resulting in very successful and enjoyable events. Additionally, parents provided valuable assistance in the library, classrooms and excursions, all contributing to making our school a better and more engaging place.

We were all very excited about our 100 day of Prep. It was fun dressing up as old people. Mrs Lowe took a photo of us and then used a special App that made our hair grey and our faces wrinkly. We celebrated the day by having a party where we ate lots of delicious food including 100s and 1,000s sandwiches. On the day we did 100 finger prints, wrote about all the things we could buy with $100 and made a paper chain that had 100 links. Jeremy Yoong, Henry Zhong, Massimo Palermo and Jerry Zhang
Buddies Our buddies are from 5A. They help us build things and write things like narratives and cards. They help us in the playground if we are in trouble. We like our buddies very much.
Concert In Term 2 our concert was The Chocolate Factory and the Prep boys sang Money, Money, Money and I Want It All. We had red t-shirts with a gold dollar sign. It was good fun. Toby Lee, Toby Mitchell, Sam Pai, Charlie Patel and Patrick Tian
Yetis try hard to do things that they haven’t tried before. They say, “I can’t do it yet, but will give it a go”. In Prep we are all Yetis.
Melbourne Zoo In Term 2 we went to Melbourne Zoo. Lawrence saw some lions and they were sleeping. P.J. saw platypus and they were swimming. They like the dark and silence. Jai saw some turtles swimming.
Wild Action Zoo Wild Action Zoo came to our school. We saw snakes, an alligator and some birds. Samuel L got to hold one of the snakes. It felt very squishy. We all got to hold an animal. They were cute. Some people were nervous, some were surprised and lots of people were happy.
Stick Insects We had four stick insects in the classroom. We sprayed them with water. They ate gum leaves. Sam Cai, Jai Nadarajah, Aiden Jiang, Jonathan Yeo, Lawrence Lai, Declan Wang, P.J. Ng and Sam Legge

Life Education We learnt about our bodies. Our bodies need to be healthy to survive. To be healthy we have to eat the right foods. We need carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, dairy and meat or an alternative. Harold was a little shy. Harold told us how to protect our bodies. We need to wash our hands, brush our teeth for two minutes and wash our face and have a shower or a bath. Kevin Ma, Xander Russo, Jacob Tang and Patrick Waide-Hee

Mad About Science
In Term 2 we went to the Melbourne Museum because we were learning about life in the past and present. We got a bus to the city and then we had our snacks in the gardens. Then we went inside the museum. We learnt about toys of the past and what children did for fun. We saw olden day houses and learnt that they are very different to our homes. We had a very rewarding day!
In Science we learnt about different materials and solids, liquids and gas. We were lucky enough to have a real scientist visit. We tested our learning by sorting different materials according to how they felt. Our favourite part was seeing how heat can change the state of a material.

Our Playground Projects
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
This year we were very excited to do the playground projects. First we went to Reverse Art Truck to collect materials to make our parks. We had lunch in the playground, it was super fun. We took our materials back home and created a park.
We danced in Junior School Presents. Our show was called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Grade 1’s character was Violet Charlie. We loved practicing our dance every week! On the night of the performance we were nervous but we did our best and had an amazing time!
We then presented them to the class. They were all amazing!

Pedro ‘Rusty’ McSwaggers
In Term 2 we studied life cycles. We got a formicarium (that’s an ant farm). We had some ants delivered - an Australian Meat Ant queen, with eight workers and eggs. We now have 14 workers! We have watched the eggs turn from larvae into pupae and then into adults. Do you know that after a female mates with a male she bites off her own wings and starts her own colony? We do.
In Year 2, each week somebody takes home a mini pirate called Pedro. Pedro is on a learning adventure. It is our job to teach Pedro about our lives because he only knows how to be a pirate. We write and take photos in a special book and then share our stories at the end of each week. Evan Lin, Lachlan Miller and Ryan Noor

Parent Reading
Rickett’s Point Excursion
Every Monday and Friday, our parents come in and join us for reading. We read aloud to them to help improve our reading skills. We loved it!
In Term 1, Year 2 travelled by bus to Rickett’s Point. We went on a scavenger hunt along the beach to find living and non-living things. We explored the rock pools and found sea stars, crabs and sea snails. We learned how the Indigenous Australians cared for the beach and used it as a source of food. Try to go one day, you’ll see the fun!

Super Bugs! We used computers to help us create our own minibeast superbug when learning about minibeasts. We had to choose body parts like wings, legs and antennae. We then built our minibeast using a variety of items. We also invited the parents in to showcase our work. It was fun. Joshua Jaross, Tharan Goonewardene and Charlie Malic

We had the opportunity to be part of the Hamer Hall School Concert this year because we are part of the Junior School Orchestra. We sang lots of great songs during the concert including the ‘Anthem’ from Chess, Africa and Swinging on a Star. We performed in front of over 2,000 people. It was very daunting to begin with, but at the same time it was very exciting. We cannot wait to be a part of it again in two years’ time!
In Term 3 this year we began learning about robotics. We put together Lego ‘We-Do’ kits to create robotic buggies and cars that can be controlled using an iPad app. We had to follow a series of instructions to make the robots. Some robots were more challenging to make than others.

Excursions
Literacy In Year 3 we have learnt about cursive handwriting. We focused on horizontal and diagonal joins. All of the Year 3 boys have enjoyed learning how to join our letters. At times, we found it very challenging especially when we had to spell difficult words or write using paper with no lines on it. We discovered that we must practise a lot in order to improve our cursive handwriting.
In Term 1 we visited Healesville Sanctuary on a sunny day. We saw lots of different native Australian animals including the Helmeted Honeyeater, Corroboree Frogs, Tasmanian Devils, Dingoes and Echidnas. We explored the sanctuary in small groups with parent volunteers. Each member of the group had a role, including being the photographer, time keeper, mapping director or note taker. We had our very own tour guide called Antwone who showed us exciting animal exhibits. It was a lot of fun!

This year we have really enjoyed Mathematics. We have learnt about different methods for addition including the algorithm and compensation methods, split strategy and using a number line to problem solve. We have also enjoyed learning more about multiplication and division. Mathematics can be challenging at times, but we always have fun. Problem solving has been a big focus in Year 3 and we have learnt how to use different strategies including making an organised list, creating a table or using an equation to solve challenging problems.
I really enjoyed participating in Theatre Club in Term 3. I had lots of fun learning different elements of drama with Mr McRae. We played lots of fun drama games that helped us develop control over our bodies, facial expressions, movement, skills in improvisation and stage craft. I participated in Theatre Cub with other boys in Year 3, 4 and 5. I enjoyed getting to know them. I had a lot of fun working on the Theatre Club Performance of This is Me.

Hamer Hall The night finally came and I felt butterflies in my stomach. I hear the audience talking and clapping. Then it’s our turn. The light shone into my eyes. It was time. Alex Tong The Vocal Minority finished singing and I was trembling with excitement. It was time for the orchestra to play. We walked out to our seats. Ms Drummond signalled for us to start playing. Hamer Hall was a great experience for boys in Years 3 to 12, where we got to play or sing at the biggest and most special hall in Melbourne. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and you should think of it as something to look forward to.
Bang! The doors opened to the wonderful Hamer Hall. We were all very excited to perform the music we had practiced for half a year on such a beautiful stage. Everyone was amazed to see the Senior School Orchestra - the lead violinist was as fast as lightning. We all loved singing Africa on stage and doing body percussion. The last song was so strong the ground was shaking. My favourite part was singing on stage with the Junior School Concert Choir. Max McCool
Hamish Mitchell I was so excited to walk into the amazing hall! I saw flashing lights sparkling everywhere. I started to get very nervous once I heard the audience applauding. I saw at least 3,000 people but we still sang the best we could. Late in the night when I walked out the door, I was very relieved it was finished. I think that was the best experience I’ve ever had.

Sphero City
As the black, thick curtains opened we were the first class to present so the entire show depended on us! BOOM! BOOM! The music started and we began our amazing act in front of hundreds of people at the PAC. I felt my entire body starting to burst with sweat and my brain was taunting me. “You can do it”, I said to myself. This is it. My moment to shine.
Starting the block code on my iPad, my Sphero sped across the bridge. This is the best project ever! At the start we made 2D shapes that looked cool. When we started putting tape on the 3D shapes I knew we were nearly there. Coding was the best bit, making it go so fast was heaps of fun.
Anson Wang
Sphero City is super awesome because you learn so much! Firstly, you can learn coding and Maths by making the robot move around your city. Secondly, you can improve your art skills by painting and decorating your buildings. I had lots of fun with Sphero City and I hope the next Year 4s will too.

Year 4 Camp Mud covered my runners as I pulled in the string. “Got one!” I pulled the yabby out of the murky lake and looked at its tiny claws. Then I placed it on the ground and as quick as a flash it scurried off into the water. Lachlan Lee Splash! I jammed the paddle into the murky water causing my canoe to race forward. I heard a sickening crack then salty water splashed everywhere. I was blinded! Tom Green
As I gripped the sweaty wooden arrow I glanced sideways to check I was doing it right. I was. The arrow, with such force, hammered a hole right through the thick sheet of cardboard. The room was filled with happiness and joyfulness. Maximilian Coia Whip went my basket on a stick as it ripped through the water. Suddenly, the net felt very heavy. I cautiously pulled it out of the water. To my surprise there was the biggest yabby I had ever seen sitting in there, it’s protruding eyes wide and staring. Then I realised something, it was the first yabby I had ever seen. Josiah Reichmann Splash! A wave hit me as I dived into the water. I really enjoyed surfing at camp because it was very hot and I wanted to cool down. We all did fun activities such as life-saving, running and more. Everyone had a fun time because everyone was laughing and smiling. Isaac Chen

Science Talent Search
Term 3 Inquiry
Exploring passions in a fun and challenging way was exactly what we were doing. We were lucky enough to have this special opportunity to explore our passion with deep thinking through the Science Talent Search. Science Talent Search is an annual science-based competition for all primary and secondary students. It was an engaging and enjoyable eight weeks where Year 5 students were actively researching challenging topics. The projects people engaged in ranged from creating a video game to a poster, to a working model to a PowerPoint. We learnt many important life skills, like time management and teamwork. We had an excellent time and would love to do it again!
Our inquiry topic in Term 3 was, ‘How does our physical location affect our opportunities?’ We started the term off with a very realistic approach, Nicholas Branson’s uncle, Major General Ellwood, told us about his experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq.

We have all gained knowledge and experience about, not only an underprivileged country we investigated, but many others as well. This topic did not only make us realise how lucky we are, it also made the whole year level realise how lucky Camberwell Grammar boys are.

Maths Olympiad is an educational program that runs for one hour every Wednesday morning after Assembly. It gives a small group of students an opportunity to explore challenging mathematical problems. Maths Olympiad is engaging and interesting. We learnt about a vast variety of fun and challenging topics, including Algebra. A fun activity we do is Power Pairs. We pair up and solve problems in a limited time. Every few weeks your brain will be put to the test. We learnt an enormous list of different strategies that lead to successful problem solving, such as making a table and drawing a diagram. Questions that are in the tests explore your full mathematical knowledge and allows you to always learn from those mistakes.
My legs were killing me as I scaled the rocky surface while a platform connected to a thin cable emerged in the distance. I shuddered in anticipation as I slowly trudged up to the structure, while I stood in front of the drop just a few metres away from me. I closed my eyes and leapt off the wooden block. Suddenly, I felt a rush of adrenaline through my body as I glide through the wind, gazing at the immensely large lake in awe. All of a sudden, I felt my heels digging into a hard surface. I came to an eventual stop, quickly unhooked from the wire and bolted back to the platform, eager to do it all again. Mark Bishop, Lachlan Cross and Max Helmer

Sovereign Hill
Parvana
The mine cart began plundering into the darkness, so dark that nothing happens when you blink. Minutes later, we were inside a faintly lit mineshaft. Dim candles lined the long corridor which connected to others like a winding and twisting maze. We followed the candle lit by our leader to various locations and sighted real gold. The world was brighter than ever when we emerged into the sunlight.
The firm dirt pounded underneath my sandals as I ran through the crowded marketplace dressed as a boy. Imagine a life where women couldn’t show their face, and your country was ruled by an extreme religious organisation. This was the life of Parvana, a girl living in Afghanistan during the rule of the Taliban. Our class read Parvana, a powerful novel written by Deborah Ellis. As we read, we learnt many important lessons, including being grateful for our opportunities. Along the way, we did many activities, such as writing a diary from the perspective of Parvana. The story was so touching that many of the Year 5 boys decided to read the sequels! Parvana is a story of courage in the face of overwhelming fear, and we loved it!
Visiting Sovereign Hill in Ballarat was like going on a time travelling excursion. We explored the gold rush in a dusty town setting. Danger itself lurked in every mineshaft. Finally, with excited faces we decided to pan for gold. Miss Day was the only lucky one.

Genius Hour
The flames roared, transforming the piece of quartz into a puddle of molten gold. It was astonishing because whilst it still glowed crimson from heat it began to solidify. I wasn’t really convinced until the blacksmith picked it up with his tongs, signifying its solid form. He explained that it was still too hot to touch so he placed it in a basin of water sending steam spiralling into the heavens. Finally, he picked it up and the action showed that the smelting of gold was complete and I caught my first glimpse of solid, pure gold. Marcus Lu
Minds whirring, pens scratching and persistence coursing the air, all feature in a session of… GENIUS HOUR! It is here boys push their imagination to create queries that confuse Google! Do you know what the strongest emotion is, how we can use colour psychology to help the world or how VR and AR help in education. I think not!

LIBRARY JUNIOR SCHOOL
This year has been another busy and industrious one in the Junior School Library. During Book Week, we were thrilled to welcome Alan Brough and Jane Godwin to work with our boys. Alan entertained the older boys with songs and stories of his younger, not-so-obedient self along with readings from his very popular and hilarious books Charlie and the War Against the Grannies and Charlie and the Karaoke Cockroaches. Jane Godwin shared her lovely story of Little Cat and the Big Red Bus. She also helped the boys to create their own story from one simple idea. A new activity in the Year 4 and 5 ‘Make it @ the Library’ program was Yarn Bombing. Mrs Lowe and myself taught interested boys how to crochet. We started with a simple chain and created enough to weave together to ‘bomb’ one of the metal poles outside the library window. We have a new drop-down screen and projector in the library. The ongoing support of Friends of Library allowed us to go ahead with this and is much appreciated. FOL also paid for a new exterior sun shade to facilitate more effective use of the new screen. We are now able to host staff meetings and parent meetings more frequently in this great space. Mrs Anna Emmett Head of Junior School Library

Boys’ Reflections In my seven years in the wonderful library, I’ve experienced utter excitement with the range of activities and books. I was always spoilt for choice. The mystical library makes the school look good. Lucas van Koert Year 5 What I remember about the library is that it is a very peaceful place for reading and learning. It is a great environment when it comes to education and the amazing teachers. Ethan Tran Year 5 One of the things I have enjoyed from the library is the Reading Adventure Workshop, after borrowing. During this time boys in Year 4 and 5 could select a special book to read. As we read we put sticky notes on pages that we liked or could connect to, or we could just put our thoughts and opinions down. Once we finished reading the book we picked a task and competed it to promote our book to others. The sticky notes helped a lot for quick sources of information. The library was a fun, relaxing time to enjoy. Ross Armstrong Year 5

MIDDLE SCHOOL REPORT School should be a place that not only motivates students to learn but instils the confidence to know that they can. The Middle School years are an exciting, turbulent and rewarding period of life, where students are challenged on many levels. During this time there are several occasions when the challenges appear too great and it is our role as teachers and parents to motivate our boys to keep trying. Opportunities that foster motivation and confidence are abundant at CGS and one of my first observations upon arrival at the school was the endeavour of our boys to continually accept challenges on top of their busy schedules. Moreover, it is the power of positive peer influence to support each other and become involved in all that the school has to offer that has made the most resounding impression. With the broadening commentary about the role of education, 2018 has been a year for the Middle School to consolidate on its solid foundation. Many programs, such as Projec10 (entrepreneurship) and Aristotle (emotional intelligence) established to cater for requirements of the future workforce, continued to grow. Such programs complemented our traditional curriculum and co-curricular programs. Mr Scott Wyatt is known to many of our boys for the tremendous work that he does in the classroom. The work he does with the Middle School Subject Coordinators to design and implement an engaging curriculum that fosters a love of learning, would be known by fewer. It is my firm belief that much of the academic success of our students can be attributed to his efforts. Teaching in the Middle School requires dedication and understanding that students at this stage of development requires careful consideration. Success at this
52 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
stage is not about the grades you receive but knowing that you can acquire knowledge and improve your academic process with effort and I thank Mr Wyatt for the success that he brings to our Middle School curriculum. Sincere gratitude also to the tireless efforts of the Middle School teachers and selfless Form teachers, who prioritise learning at this critical stage. The robust program delivered takes frequent collaboration, through morning meetings and review, together with cross examination and departmental meetings. Ms Kirsty McDougall is responsible for challenging our boys outside of the classroom, which takes place during school camps, outdoor education, activities and House competitions. It is a huge job that she does so well, that whilst on maternity leave next year, Ms McDougall will be covered by three staff. Long after the boys have left school, conversations will continue to stir about the exciting times shared during these activities and camps. 2018 will be remembered for many events, but the Biennial Concert, Jesus Christ Superstar and Oh What a Lovely War will certainly hold a special place in the memory bank. It is incredible to think that our Middle School boys were able to play such critical roles in each of these productions. We are most grateful to everyone who made these opportunities available. The Middle School pastoral care program was further enhanced in 2018, due to the introduction of the Personal Skills and Development (PSD) course. I thank Ms Laura Dubberley who was responsible for laying a solid foundation this year, and we look forward to Mr Peter Zagarn, building upon this in 2019. This year, the PSD Curriculum was

supplemented by incursions from organisations such as Courage to Care and Elephant Ed. For the third consecutive year, we partnered with Swinburne University’s Aristotle (EI) Program. We are also most grateful for the efforts of Ms Elizabeth Grant, who played a vital role in supporting the program, amidst her role as Junior and Middle School Counsellor. The Middle School Office is a very busy place. Mrs Justine Elliot deserves great praise for her patience and organisation to stay a couple of steps ahead, whilst planning the weeks ahead for our boys, parents and staff. With so many wonderful programs in place, supported by such incredible facilities and enthusiastic staff and students, it is indeed a very exciting time to be at Camberwell Grammar School. 54 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Further to the announcement in the Community section, I would like to thank Mr Colin Stein and Ms Victoria Papaioannou for their extensive efforts throughout their time in the Middle School. As Form Teachers, they have helped motivate and instill confidence in each of the students in their care and we wish them the very best in their future endeavors. We also wish Mr Ken Schwab a safe and relaxing Long Service Leave; we look forward to seeing you again in 2020. I am most grateful to all of the students, staff, parents and Old Boys who have welcomed my family and I to such a caring community. Your efforts through these early stages will never be forgotten. Mr Troy Stanley Head of Middle School
The exhibition demonstrated the impact of discrimination through personal stories, it inspired participants to not be bystanders, but to take positive action when they witness injustice in their everyday lives.
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, PLC and Camberwell Girls’ and the dance floor was packed for most of the night. Given that most of the girls and boys knew each other from Projec10, the social was a great way to celebrate their combined efforts. Many thanks to Ms Victoria Papaioannou and Ms Katrina Massey who organised the night this year.
Fundraising Fundraising and helping various charities were once again a major focus for Middle School students in 2018. Projec10 was back in full flight as Year 8 students partnered up with girls from Camberwell Girls’ and Fintona to raise money for the Youth Apprenticeship Program in Ghana (Opportunity International). The groups worked well together, and it was great that several groups launched initiatives to raise money in the local community. In all, nearly $10,000 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 sixth year. The boys were sponsored most generously by members of our community and the event itself was a welcomed break from the routine.
Incursions 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. Courage to Care ran interactive workshops with our Year 8 boys, aimed at addressing the issues of prejudice and discrimination. The workshops used survivors of the Holocaust to demonstrate the power of the individual when they decide to do good. The results of even the smallest caring action can be extraordinary. The exhibition demonstrated the impact of discrimination through personal stories, it inspired participants to not be bystanders, but to take positive action when they witness injustice in their everyday lives. This program offered a wonderful introduction to the John Boyne’s novel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Year 8 were treated to stories from Robert Newton, author of Runner. Newton gave some wonderful insights regarding the best-selling novel as well as ideas on writing historical fiction. This year we welcomed Elephant Ed, 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. There was a particular focus for Year 8 on managing adult content online. The group also provided a parent information seminar on the topic. In Term 4 we were most fortunate to have TESLA visit to talk about the massive impact they are making in the sustainability space. This tied in very nicely with our own solar and sustainability projects at CGS organised by student-run initiative Toward2050. Mr Troy Stanley Head of Middle School

Middle School 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 students’ confidence and improves public speaking skills, but also provides an opportunity to develop teamwork and research capabilities. All Year 8 students learnt 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 8S and 8B made it through the semi-finals stage to reach the Open Day Grand Final. In what proved to be a close contest on the motion “That we should ban all electronic devices in the classroom” the 8B team of Andy Lee, Mathieu Ly, Nicholas Koppelman defeated the 8S team of Ishaan Nandurkar, Je-Rard Cheong and Kerry Sun 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 cooperatively in teams to research topics, prepare arguments and counterarguments 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. After struggling in the first two rounds, Camberwell teams bounced back to record seven out of eight matches against schools such as Trinity, Carey, Fintona and Korowa. Debating has inspired discussion on serious social and community issues such as banning violent video games and demanding equal pay for female athletes. Our students have also spent many lunchtimes preparing their debates and I congratulate the boys who have gone above and beyond their normal busy routines. Thank you very much to all staff and students who supported and contributed to this exciting and enriching endeavour. Mr Peter Robinson Teacher in Charge of Debating
The da Vinci Decathlon is an academic, multi-disciplinary competition designed to challenge and stimulate the minds of high achieving students wanting extra challenges. Competing in teams of eight, across ten disciplines, students are involved in a variety of activities with a focus on higher order thinking skills. Named after one of the world’s greatest scholars, the decathlon is designed to enhance one’s ability to perceive the interconnected nature of knowledge.
Students at Camberwell Grammar are privileged to have the opportunity to be selected for the decathlon. My participation, along with seven other students, competed in both Regional, State and National competitions. The experience was an enriching one and we were able to travel to Sydney as a team to compete in the National competition. After many long hours of hard work, the Year 7 team performed well in most disciplines, and our Year 10 team placed third overall in Australia. The memorable experience was both enjoyable and enriching. I would recommend the competition to any other students fortunate enough to be invited in the future. Cooper Carbone Year 7

Year 6 Sustainability Week In Week 8, Year 6 participated in Sustainability Week. It was a great learning experience about how we can contribute to saving our Earth and preserving it. We were told that we could do a few simple tasks like putting our rubbish in the correct bins to help with the future. We are the next generation of the future and need the right teaching to help contribute to the world in a positive way. We started on Monday by creating posters from topics like ‘The 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle’ and ‘Using the correct coloured bins’. We finished them at lunchtime and put them around the school so others would also see how we can recycle and help the world together. After lunchtime we were split into a For or Against team and put into six different debates like “Animals should be kept in zoos” and “All new houses should be environmentally friendly”. On Tuesday, we visited the Dandenong Ranges where we were told about the biodiversity of the world. We were told how we can help to save the endangered animals and plants. The main attraction of the day was when we climbed the Dandenong Range’s 1,000 steps, which is a tribute to the Kokoda Track and the soldiers that fought in PNG, in World War II. On the way up, we spotted a lyrebird and had glimpses at the marvellous view from up the top of the mountain. Also, reading some of the plaques that noted the various battles that were fought on the Kokoda Track was very interesting.
Wednesday was one of the best days of the week. We were able to visit the Melbourne Zoo and learn about the ‘Save our Species’ (SOS) program. Apart from learning information for our project, we were able to explore the Zoo. On Thursday we started making our zoo projects (SOS). We chose one of 10 endangered animals and learnt about them, so we could make a slide show or poster. The project included how we can save them and why we need them in our ecosystem. We also had a visit by the Gould League, who showed us how to reuse, reduce and recycle. We also learnt about composting and how we can help the earth. Finally, on Friday we went to IMAX to see Pandas 3D. We learnt about the giant pandas and how to protect endangered animals. In the movie, they attempted to free the pandas into the wilderness. They chose a panda called ‘Chen Chen’ and followed her around in the forest until they were sure that she would be okay herself. We then went back to school and watched Indiana Jones. Altogether it was a great experience and Year 6 enjoyed the opportunity to learn about our earth and how we can preserve it. We look forward to using our new knowledge in the future to contribute to saving our planet. William Lardner and Nathan Chan Year 6

Year 7’s Civics and Citizenship Week is all about learning how to explore our wonderful city in a safe and efficient manner. We made multiple excursions to the city to learn what the city has to offer. The scavenger hunt was done in a team and it taught us how working together plays a big part in finding our way around the city. The best part about the week is that it is student run. Each Year 7 class worked within their forms to decide on the plan for
the week, made specific bookings and organised appropriate transport. On the day where it was completely student run, the only thing that the staff did was to make sure we didn’t get run over by cars or get hurt. All of this helped us develop skills to work together and communicate with each other. The timetable below provides a snapshot of what Week 8 entailed for Year 7: Thomas Rigby Year 7

Year 8 Indigenous Week Wominjeka - welcome. The Year 8 Indigenous Week lived up to its promise, as being a rewarding and enriching experience for Year 8. There were more activities organised this year, to expose students to different aspects of aboriginal culture, past and present. The week began with a talk about William Barak, the last chief of the ‘Yarra Yarra’ tribe, who worked tirelessly for his people. Following this there was a lecture in the Quinn Theatre by local historian Chris Grummet. Drawing on his extensive research, Chris mapped out aspects of aboriginal culture through an extensive catalogue of maps and photos. Touching on reconciliation, Chris talked to the audience about what lays ahead, in connecting with indigenous culture into broader Australia, through sport, travel and the arts. At the start of the week, students were assigned a research project and using books from the school library, websites and information gained from their outings, the students answered their research topic question. Findings were presented to their form on the last day and one group in my class talked about the aboriginal singer and prodigious guitar player Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. He produced several haunting and beautiful songs translated into his native tongue and we were able to hear one of his songs during the presentation. We were delighted to have Sarah Hopkins (a unique Australian composer) and Ron Murray (cultural educator, storyteller, musician and didgeridoo maker) join us for a Healing Circle. The
60 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
students were taken on a journey through reconciliation in words and music. At the end of the session, students joined as one to produce a powerful music piece using handbells. Students participated in guided excursions to the National Gallery of Victoria, Koorie Heritage Centre, Melbourne Museum and Botanic Gardens. These experiences gave students an insight into the ‘Frontier War’ through art; traditional smoke ceremonies; art making and bush tucker. They were given the opportunity to hold and examine aboriginal artefacts and see how indigenous cultures lived across Australia. At the museum students had a guide talk in detail about traditional possum skin cloaks and they were given the opportunity to listen to an interactive display which explained that in Victoria there were forty different dialects within eleven language families. On the last day, students designed their pictures and symbols to be placed on their own boomerang. This demonstrated their connectiveness to their own culture. Students headed home to practise their throwing techniques at home over the long weekend. Throughout the programme, Year 8 students could envisage that there has been a lot of healing in recent years and now there is an opportunity for indigenous culture to make distinctive contributions to our nation. Middle School surveys have indicated that the week has been a highlight for many students and in the future the programme will continue to evolve and deliver invaluable insights about indigenous cultures.

SENIOR SCHOOL REPORT I was lucky enough to spend eight days touring Central Australia with 28 Year 8 and 9 boys and two colleagues during the Term 3 holidays. The trip included visits to Alice Springs, King’s Canyon and Uluru, as well as two days working in a remote indigenous community called Wanmarra. We met some wonderful people and shared some amazing experiences in what was a thoughtprovoking and energising week of travel. It was while we were watching the sunset at Uluru that I was asked by one of the Year 9 boys to list the highlights of my first year in Senior School. It was a great question, and the beautiful landscape before me provided the perfect backdrop to look back on what has been an action-packed and exhilarating year. The trip I was on when asked the question is certainly one of my highlights, especially seeing the beginning of what I hope is a long relationship with the special community at Wanmarra. I knew that at the same time we had students and teachers embarking on the Latin tour to Europe and the Biology/ Geography trip to the Galapagos Islands. We have international basketball and cricket trips at the end of the year and several Year 10 boys will be heading to France for Christmas to enjoy part 2 of the exchange experience that saw us host nine boys from Lyon in Term 3. These experiences would undoubtedly prove to be highlights for all involved. The House Music Competition is always a highlight and all Houses did a superb job enthusiastically tackling the theme of ‘Opera’ this year. The Mid-Year Concert was outstanding and the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall proved to be an incredible showcase of music at CGS. The amazing production of Jesus Christ Superstar with Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College was breathtaking in terms of colour and performance and was a credit to Mr Drew Stocker, his support team and the amazing cast. It was indeed a privilege to be part of the audience on each occasion. On the sporting field it was great to see our footballers win their first game in three years at Mentone Grammar and our Badminton, Table Tennis and Hockey teams bring home premierships. Our admirable fourth at the AGSV Athletics augurs well for the future as our young squad posted excellent all-round results. House Sport is always a highlight and it was once again great to witness sportsmanship and a spirit of fun at the House Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country events. Fundraising across the school was another highlight, with sausage sizzles, socials, cupcake stalls, casual clothes days, gelati days and more on offer as our Houses and various clubs raised thousands of dollars for
64 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
various charities. It was great to come together earlier in the year to raise over $30,000 for the World’s Greatest Shave. The day itself proved to be one of those days that binds the community, with seven local hairdressers donating their time to shave over 90 heads in what was a lot of fun for a magnificent cause. For the second year running the Year 11 BODi (By Our DeedsInquiry) day was a wonderful success and the boys benefited from several empowering keynote addresses, as well as yoga, pilates, nutrition and a range of other workshops. In Term 4 an inaugural Year 10 BODi day focused on good decision making, consent and drug and alcohol awareness. Experiences such as these are invaluable for the boys and display the importance of stepping away from the usual program on occasion to focus on life education and skills. All in all, 2018 has been an outstanding year in Senior School and I congratulate the boys on the manner with which they have conducted themselves as a cohort throughout the year. Their energy and willingness to engage fully in all aspects of the school program serve as a constant inspiration and it is a privilege to work with them. I thank my colleagues for their endless dedication and enthusiasm, as for without them, none of the aforementioned events would occur. Mr Rob French Head of Senior School

VALEDICTORY SERVICE
SENIOR SCHOOL
I urge you to live in what Seamus Heaney called ‘the republic of conscience’ and question ceaselessly why things are as they are, and help to make them better.
This is an edited version of the speech given to the leavers of 2018 by the Headmaster Dr Paul Hicks at the Leavers’ Service in St Mark’s Church. I am not really a science fiction fan, but earlier this year I was introduced to a short story by Ursula Le Guin called The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, and I have been haunted by it ever since. The story is set around the imaginary city of Omelas which is gathering to celebrate the Festival of Summer. It seems to be the perfect society. It is set in a beautiful location and all the people are happy. They had no king and fought no wars. Their rule and laws were few, but they were not simple people, they were ‘mature, intelligent, passionate adults whose lives were not wretched’. It seemed like a heaven on earth, but not in a goody two shoes sort of way; the people there felt a ‘boundless and generous contentment, a magnanimous triumph felt…in communion with the finest and fairest souls of all men everywhere and the splendour of the world’s summer’. The narrator of the story challenges us to believe in this beautiful place, filled with joyous people, yet admits that it is difficult to do. Then it is revealed that in the heart of the city, in a basement under one of the beautiful public buildings, there is a room with a locked door and no window. In the room a ‘feeble-minded’ child is kept prisoner, fed only enough to keep it alive, occasionally kicked, but mainly neglected. The child begs to be released – ‘I will be 70 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
good, please let me out, I will be good!’ – but the child is never answered. The child is referred to as an ‘it’. The people of Omelas all know that the child is there. They all know that it has to be there. They all understand that the beauty of their city and the joy and happiness of their world ‘depend wholly on this child’s abominable misery’. The existence of the child is shared with the children of Omelas some time between the ages of eight and twelve, and it is explained to them that if the child were to be brought up into the sunlight, all the ‘prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed.’ When the secret is shared with them, the children are often upset, or in ‘a tearless rage’ but as time goes on most of them get used to the idea and they realise that even if the child were released, it would not get its freedom, as it has in captivity too long and it probably now needs the walls around it to protect it. They begin to understand ‘the terrible injustice of reality and to accept it.’ Suddenly, the way we see Omelas changes. It is no longer some idyllic paradise; our view of it is irrevocably corrupted by our knowledge, not only that the city tolerates cruelty and oppression, but that its very prosperity depends on it. The suffering of one enables the happiness of many. The people of Omelas are not bad people, but they choose to continue to live prosperous lives, in a world founded on inequality and suffering. Is this an acceptable contract? Clearly Le Guin’s imaginary city of Omelas is intended to be a representation of our modern western world. Ben Chesler reminded us at the Year 12 Assembly just how lucky we are. We have been given an enormous head start in life. We are lucky enough to live in one of the most affluent countries in the world, and we are lucky to be part of the most affluent segment of that world. We live in nice houses, we drive nice cars, we eat delicious and nutritious food and our problems for the most part are first-world problems. Australia ranks highly by all measures – economic, social, educational – and we happen to live in one of the most liveable cities in the world. I guess we even have our own Summer Festival (though Moomba is probably not quite what Le Guin was imagining). And we too allow things to happen in our country which in the cold light of day we do not approve of. There is suffering and inequality in our world and we seem to just allow it to occur. We know that children are being kept in custody on Nauru in our name for the crime of seeking asylum in our country. We know that our indigenous population have significantly lower educational outcomes and higher mortality and incarceration
SENIOR SCHOOL rates than the rest of us. We know that at least some of the cheap clothes that we like to buy are made by children in other countries working in terrible conditions for next to nothing. We know that there is homelessness on our streets, and we know that some are struggling to make ends meet, while others live in luxury. We know that this happens, and we may complain about it and express our unease, but most of us do little more than that. I am sorry if that all sounds a little negative and bleak. I certainly do not think the proper response to such concerns or questions is guilt. None of us can help that we were born into the families we were born into, and it is not our fault if there is social inequality in our society. But the story about Omelas does not end with the revelation about the suffering child. Le Guin tells us that some of the
citizens who live in Omelas choose not to accept the contract. Sometimes a child, or a man or a woman ‘falls silent for a day or two, and then leaves home.’ They choose to leave the city – and they always leave alone: ‘They leave Omelas, they walk into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible that it does not exist. But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.’ And that is how the story ends. Not everyone in Omelas chooses to accept the contract of prosperity based on suffering and disadvantage; some choose not to participate any more. They leave – either physically or metaphorically.

SENIOR SCHOOL
I would like to challenge our leavers this evening to be like the people who walk away from Omelas, at least figuratively. Are you content to live in the midst of injustice and inequality? Or are you prepared to use the head start you have been given to challenge those things and to try to make a difference. You have a choice – you can just go on and live your life and focus only on you, or you can try to make the world a better place. And your decision is important to me – for if our school uses its privileged position to educated privileged young men to prepare them for a life of privilege, then I think our critics may have a point. Our mission must be grander than simply reinforcing the status quo. I believe it is – I believe in the transforming power of education and it is my hope that you will be inspired by your time at our school to go
72 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
out into the world and to make it a better place. But whether I am right or not depends on you. So many of you have already been involved in social justice initiatives – from helping to build toilets for school girls in India, to assisting refugees and homeless youth, and all of the other causes you have supported through your House Charities. But it goes even beyond making financial donations to worthy charities – we need structural change and creative solutions which may affect the very fabric of our society. You are smart enough to find them, if only you have the will to look. Please nurture that sense of passion to help those who need it much like so many of you have already. History has shown that all the riches of the world will not be enough to find peace and contentment, and it doesn’t take much to have too much stuff. Happiness and contentment cannot be bought. Micah reminds us that your God will not be impressed by burnt offerings, or the most impressive sacrifices – even of a thousand rams or ten thousand rivers of the finest olive oil. He requires only three things that we can all do, though it is not easy – we need to ‘act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.’ Walk away from injustice and even more, act for justice, and fight for what is good. I urge you to live in what Seamus Heaney called ‘the republic of conscience’ and question ceaselessly why things are as they are and help to make them better. Then your education will have been well spent and our purpose justified.
It is said that each generation creates its own sense of collective being; it’s own myths and illusions. Tonight we all celebrate that process of incomplete construction.

moderately strong electric and magnetic interactions. All of this coagulation, underpinned by the weak yet relentless force of gravity helped form stars, solar systems and planets like ours in an ever-expanding universe.
My hope is that I can give voice to our thoughts; encouraging each one of our Year 12s to turn this page and write their story with independence and conviction but never in isolation. For tonight they are the focus.
We should all be thankful for being here this evening, we should never take anything for granted. Why? Because an awful lot can go wrong in 14 billion years. We are all 14 billion years in the making – we should respect ourselves and those around us – each one of you is precious.
One of my colleagues, has often stated that in all the years he has known me, he has never understood a single word I have uttered. I hope not to disappoint him this evening and force him to change his mind. If you’re listening, I have also never quite understood whether your statement was a compliment indicating a distinguished mind or an admission of personal ignorance – perhaps it is both. The age of this universe is believed to be in the vicinity of 14 or so billion years, well 13.772 billion years, with an uncertainty of plus or minus 59 million years to be both more accurate and precise. During this time some of the matter made at or near its start has organised itself into what you see here before you tonight. Early in this universe, quarks combined to become protons, neutrons as well as mesons which then evaporated, each under the action of strong forces. Later, they in turn clustered into groups, stabilised by orbiting ground state leptons to become atoms, molecules and systems of molecules as dictated by the vagaries of the
In the words of Joni Mitchell: “We are all stardust. We are golden”1. In the words of Bruce McAvaney: “We are all special”2 Even the cutlery on your table should command a similar respect – for it ultimately is as old as you are. We do not really know where we come from, we do not know who we are4; we are all galactic refugees in search of purpose, well-being and authentic meaning. What we observe happening right now is so immensely improbable from a cosmic perspective, that for me at least, it explains precisely why it is happening. A contradiction is a wonderful device is it not? So is the anthropomorphic principle. The sheer weight of our past is steadily pushing us through the conduit we like to call the present into one of many possible futures. We are simply fortunate enough to reside in the present, able to both observe and make some sense of the past and speculate or extrapolate to these possible futures.

It is precisely this fact that distinguishes us from our cutlery; as far as I am aware a spoon is neither nostalgic nor does it speculate about and plan for tomorrow; Since these objects live truly in the here and now without regret or anxiety, you might well ask are inanimate objects fully happy and fulfilled, without a care in the world? What are we to make of this? We live on a speck of dust orbiting a nondescript star providing a supply of energy for the molecules that temporarily make up our bodies. These molecules have organised themselves as described by Darwin’s laws of Natural Selection and the laws of Modern Physics to create this illusion of both free-will and consciousness that a fork may not possess. Far from being a bleak nihilistic worldview I offer you some advice: whilst nothing you do will have any permanence, everything you do is important because of a temporary though relevant holy trinity – your parents and forbearers, you and your peers and tonight at least, your teachers and mentors; In an outdated patriarchal language – father, son and your holy ghosts.
74 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Boys, I firstly wish to mention your parents and acknowledge their role in you being here. For without their efforts this would not be so. We thank them for getting you out of bed, making your lunches, getting you to and from your activities, turning a blind eye to your indiscretions, offering a shoulder to cry on, doing your washing, giving you advice, laughing with you, allowing you to make mistakes, teaching you, accepting your white lies with a gentle nod of approval and for you being tucked up in bed, warm, safe, content. They have given you a sense of purpose and wellbeing. No one will love you like your parents. I now wish to mention your teachers and mentors. They have been charged with the responsibility of moulding your brains. They are in many ways like brain surgeons except they operate without scalpels. They work in teams on many patients simultaneously, go to several theatres each day and regularly work on different parts of the brain developing your values and beliefs, your analytic skills and ideally imbuing you also with a sense of purpose and well-being. Sometimes their best work is mysterious and defies immediate comprehension. Boys, I now wish to mention yourselves, the third piece in this temporary trinity. Yes, you did get out of bed, you have revelled in each others’ company, sometimes you made your own lunch, you allowed the surgeons to do their job without too much complaint and increasingly so operated on your own brains to sort out confusion and clarify ideas, you handed in most of the work set, you have mastered or attempted sports, music, the
This enterprise of yours is palpable – it is what gives teachers and parents hope each day. I pity inanimate objects3 – they are not afforded the privilege of having hope. It is said that each generation creates its own sense of collective being, if you like its own myths and illusions. Tonight we all celebrate that process of incomplete construction.
I do have one final message this evening: please be nice. If we were all nicer our speck of dust would be a better place to live on. We have many examples of people not being nice. Do not follow their lead. They are bad. There are many more examples of people being nice – you just need to look. Follow their lead. They are good.

Your time at school has nearly come to an end in exactly the same way as our universe had come to a beginning – but this is only an illusion, a universal myth it only appears that way at present, for you will carry memories of your time at school with you forever – in much the same way as the quarks and leptons from which you are built have collectively understood their beginning, so too shall you begin to understand your end.

CADETS
After a long summer break Cadet training resumed at the end of February for the whole unit, preceded by an NCO training afternoon. This year the Senior Cadet Under Officer was Jacob Hunting, and the Regimental Sergeant Major, Cadet Warrant Officer Class One Luke Sudholz, who was also the RSM for the Australian Army Cadets Victorian Brigade, making him the second most senior cadet in the state. They were assisted by CUOs Oscar Balla, Michael Lewis and Harrison McEwen as platoon commanders, as well as CUO Darren Lu as the Operations Officer. The first major training activity for the unit was Recruit Training Day on Sunday 4 March. The 30 Year 9 students who commenced Cadet training this year 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. This year, the unit undertook a new approach to training, which involved practical activities designed to enhance and consolidate various cadet skills. For example, one activity in Term 3 involved cadets operating in small groups entering a darkened room to search for injured casualties and administer first aid. Another activity in Term 1 involved sections of Cadets competing against each other to set up tents. In the second week of Term 2 the unit once again conducted a Dawn Service in the M Block quadrangle. The reflection this year was delivered by Captain Chris Smith, a serving member of the Army, and former member of the unit. The unit also provided assistance to other Anzac Day commemoration services in the week prior to 25 April. On Friday 20 April, a small contingent performed an Anzac Service at The Mews, a local aged care facility for the residents, many of whom were WWII veterans. The unit also participated in the St Barnabas Service Kew RSL March and wreath-laying ceremony on Sunday 22 April. The bivouac took place at Puckapunyal from Friday 27 April to Sunday 29 April. After setting up their platoon sites, the two recruit platoons 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 night exercise was similar to the previous nights 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.
76 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
The unit also participated in activities conducted by the 31st Battalion, which is the Battalion for the School Based units. On Saturday 19 May, five Cadets, Joseph Hunting, Ethan Lack, Peter Lathouras, Hugh McGlone, and Andrew Shallcross, visited the HMAS Castlemaine, a World War Two Australian Navy corvette, which is permanently docked at Williamstown, before sailing on a replica of the Enterprise; the ship which founded Melbourne in 1835, up the Yarra River from Williamstown to Docklands. In July Angus Corr, Joseph Hunting, and Coulston Waycott represented the unit in the 31st Battalion marksmanship competition endowed by the Melbourne Cricket Club Cup at Watsonia. A group of Cadets was selected to represent Victoria in the National Army Cadet Drill Competition and received second place. A number of unit members attended the leadership courses camp conducted by the Victorian Brigade at Puckapunyal in the July holidays. In addition, MAJ (AAC) M Neal was the Senior Instructor of the Senior Leaders Course, assisted by CAPTs (AAC) M Daniel and T Cross, and LT (AAC) A Kollosche. Senior members of the unit, including CUOs Jacob Hunting, Oscar Balla, Michael Lewis and CDTWO1 Luke Sudholz acted as Assistant Directing Staff. On Sunday 12 August, eight members of the unit assisted them with their commemoration of the Kokoda Trail Campaign at the Shrine of Remembrance. A few weeks following this commemoration, the school strengthened its relationship with the 39th Battalion Association by signing a formal
SENIOR SCHOOL agreement. Present at this occasion was Alan Moore (1939) an old boy who is one of the last surviving veterans of the Kokoda Trek campaign. The highlight of the year’s training was the Annual Camp which was again conducted at Puckapunyal from 14 to 19 September. Activities were meticulously planned by the Year 12 management team led by CUOs Jacob Hunting, Darren Lu and CDTWO1 Luke Sudholz, assisted by adult Cadet staff. For the first time this year, the major exercise in the second phase of annual camp involved members of our unit, as well as other school-based units, including Braemar College, Beaconhills College, and Peninsula Grammar. Returning to school, the unit completed final rehearsals for and presented the Open Day Parade on Saturday 13 October before a crowd of over 300 people. The reviewing officer this year was
Lieutenant Colonel Ross Chapman DSM (1997), an old boy from the class of 1997, and a former RSM of the unit, who is currently the Commanding Officer of the Officer Training College at the Australian Defence Force Academy. This was followed by the Cadet Dinner on Friday 19 October, which took place in the Camberwell Room. Mr Rob French proposed the toast to the unit. This year, two members of the unit successfully completed the requirements for prestigious awards. In April, CDTSGT Cameron Martin participated in the Adventure Training Award Camp, conducted this year on the Majura Range in the ACT. Cadets from all over Australia and New Zealand participated in this activity, and CDTSGT Martin was awarded the Adventure Training Award, the highest accolade a Cadet can receive. This year, CUO Harrison McEwen successfully completed the requirements for the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

The unit also welcomed to its ranks Mr Andrew Worsnop (2005) an Old Boy who joined the teaching staff this year. Mr Worsnop has been a Reservist Officer with considerable experience, particularly in assisting the management team in planning and coordinating various activities, particularly the major exercises in Annual Camp. The unit also congratulates Major (AAC) Neal, the Officer Commanding the unit, for his promotion at the start of the year. MAJ (AAC) Neal has also assumed command of the 31st (Schools) Battalion, and in this capacity, liaised regularly with commanders of other school-based units. Mr Tim Cross was also promoted to the rank of Captain (AAC). The unit also acknowledges the significant milestones of three of its long-

serving officers. In February CAPT (AAC) Tim Cross received the Australian Cadet Forces Service Medal for 15 years service, and CAPT (AAC) Michael Daniel a clasp to acknowledge 20 years of service. Later in the year, CAPT (AAC) Mark Williams was presented with his medal and clasp to acknowledge 20 years of service. The unit also thanks the Cadet Parents’ Auxiliary, led by Mrs Annie Balla, for their fundraising initiatives. Mr Michael Daniel CAPT (AAC)
2018 has been an outstanding year for debating. Once again opening with the annual House tournament, each House fielded four teams with roughly six members per team. In a competition where total involvement exceeded 150 students, it was encouraging not only to see the level of debating lift but the standard in which the older students conducted themselves, often taking time out of their lunch breaks to coach younger students. With evenly distributed results across all Houses, it was Bridgland who stole victory from their orange brethren, claiming back the title they lost last year.
All three teams finished in the top 5% of the state. All boys should be congratulated on their superb efforts throughout the season.
Cementing the high standard in the House Competition, the boys transitioned their knowledge to the regional tournament, competing valiantly against fierce competition from schools such as Trinity, Balwyn High and Carey. With boys from each division reaching the regional final and even two Camberwell Grammar teams battling in the A grade final, for the second time in decades teams from A, B and C grades progressed into the finals playoff. However, despite their high optimism, fortune or rather DAV adjudicators did not swing Camberwell’s way and the B grade team were knocked out in the octo-finals and the A and C grade teams were defeated in the quarter-finals. Nevertheless, these achievements are outstanding when one considers that all three teams finished in the top 5% of the state. All boys should be congratulated on their superb efforts throughout the season and the development they made both personally and as a team. Additionally, this year Camberwell also excelled in the United Nations Youth Evatt Competition, with duos Lachie Doig and Oliver Papillo, and Andrew Zeng and James Gunasegaram making it to the state finals. The power team of Ryan Campbell and Christian Chene proceeded all the way to nationals. In the words of Dani Reynolds, “intellectuals can debate, idiots just argue”. With strong foundations in place and a team of highly intelligent teachers and student leaders, I believe Camberwell’s debating strength can only increase in the future to come.

Senior School Friday Activities
Duke of Edinburgh Award
The Senior School Friday Activities program once again offered students a wide range of opportunities to learn new skills, be active and participate in local service projects.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a framework that encourages personal development and community involvement in youths aged between 14 and 25. The award is divided into three levels (bronze, silver and gold) and to complete a level of the award students must undertake tasks in four different categories; skill development, service, physical recreation and adventurous journeys. Regular commitment to activities in each of these four categories counts toward the achievement of a level. The time commitment varies with each level and becomes progressively greater from bronze to gold. Many of the activities on offer in the co-curricular programs at Camberwell Grammar School help students complete the award but they are also encouraged to connect with the wider community.
Throughout the year, students were encouraged to select three different activities from the categories; skill, service and active. Many groups spent time in the local community, walking, cycling and developing their skateboarding skills whilst others undertook activities such as Chinese Martial Arts, cooking, touch typing and photography at school. Community partnerships with Eva Tilley Memorial Home, the Mews Nursing Home, Broughton Hall and North Balwyn Rotary Club, allowed students to spend time visiting the elderly and engage in basic garden maintenance to assist those who can no longer maintain their gardens.
In 2018 a number of students at Camberwell Grammar School worked toward completing bronze, silver and gold awards. A special mention and congratulations must go to those who completed a level of the award in 2018.

Employers spoken to were unequivocal in their admiration of our boys – praising the quality of their presentation, work ethic, ability to ask questions and their obvious interest in the workplace.
ECHO and Realms of Gold
Work Experience
This year the student ‘rag’ known as ROTE transformed yet again, reverting back to a conservative printed issue. The name, previously changed from ROTE to ECHO, entered into full force, with the term coming from the Sports Song so popularly sung by the boys at assembly and Valedictory. We were unsure whether this brainchild of Ben Chesler, an enthusiastic exponent of change would result in a state of inertia or inaction and rightly so; this is Camberwell Grammar School and tradition is highly valued and difficult to emulate.
Work Experience took place during the week of 4 to 8 June. As usual, students undertook a wide variety of placements with builders, veterinarians, real estate agencies, architectural firms, law practices, hospitals, pharmacies and retail stores. For many Year 10 students, this was their first foray into the workforce and some approached it with trepidation. However, the employers spoken to were unequivocal in their admiration of our boys – praising the quality of their presentation, work ethic, ability to ask questions and their obvious interest in the workplace.
Conceptually or physically, however, Ben was successful. His team, with much badgering from yours truly, managed to put three editions on the table despite long overdue delays with the first print. Editing issues with the second and a more staid, ‘correct’ edition appearing at Valedictory; something that the boys all treasured even if they do not want to admit it. This Teacher in Charge looks forward to a new production team in 2019, that has been kept somewhat of a secret from him. Thank you Ben, Emile Akbarzadeh and all who contributed.

SENIOR SCHOOL
VCE RESULTS
Some of the high achievers with the Headmaster, Head of Senior School and Deputy Head.
I wish to congratulate our Class of 2018 for their outstanding VCE results this year. All 169 of our students who completed the year satisfactorily met the requirements of the VCE and we are very proud of them all. The results are again very impressive across the full range of scores: twenty-three students (14%) achieved an ATAR of 99 or better, placing them in the top one per cent of the state. Thirtyone per cent of our students achieved a rank of 95 or better, while 50% of our students achieved a score of 90 or better, placing them in the top ten per cent of the State. Ninety-five per cent of our students were in the top 50% of the State. Our median ATAR score was 90.1. These are again extraordinary results and I congratulate our students and their teachers for the hard work they did to achieve them. At the same time, I am very conscious that some of our students may feel disappointed. Not everyone can get very high scores. The ATAR is a ranking system; by definition some students cannot obtain as high a rank as others. Sometimes a student may have set their heart of a particular score – over 99, over 90, somewhere in the 80s – and some may have missed this private goal. But as I have said to the students many times, results alone cannot measure the success of a student’s education. I am very proud of all of our students who did their best, no matter their score. So many of the boys told me in their last few weeks that they felt they could not have worked any harder, and that is the true measure of their success. I was struck this year by the number of teachers who told me how impressed they were by the work ethic of this particular cohort. By that standard, all of our students have achieved amazing results and I am confident that all of our students will ultimately gain entry into a worthwhile and useful tertiary course should they so wish. All students try their best given their ability and the realities of their lives. ATAR numbers will soon be forgotten, but the lessons learned at school, and the values and skills learned here will last forever. We value each one 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 thirteen perfect study scores across a wide range of subjects: James Bickerdike (Physics), Jake Brown
(Biology), Alan Chen (English), Joe Chen (English), Lachlan Doig (Mathematical Methods), James Gunasegaram (Mathematical Methods), Richard Han (English), Charles Li (Specialist Mathematics and Physics), Lucas Liu (Mathematical Methods), Oliver Papillo (Year 11) (Global Politics), James Saligari (English), Sepehr Tahmasebi (English). Twenty-three per cent 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 Duces of our School are Jake Brown and Sepehr Tahmasebi, both of whom scored 99.95. Our Proxime Accesserunt are Charles Li, Charles Huang, Anthony Stewart and Alan Chen, who each who scored 99.90. All six boys were clearly actively involved in the full life of the school and worked very hard at their studies. In his time at Camberwell Grammar School, Jake Brown keenly embraced opportunities for learning and personal development, and in the process, produced an impressive record of achievements in both the curricular and co-curricular domains. He received School Prizes in Biology, French and English Langauge, was a Scholar of the School and in 2018 acted as the Prefect for Faith and Social Justice. A talented musician, Jake participated in numerous instrumental and choral ensembles, performed in the School’s 2018 production of Jesus Christ Superstar and in 2017 was awarded the AMEB Grade 6 with Honours in ‘Saxophone for Leisure’. In Year 11, Jake scored 44 in Mathematical Methods. This year, he scored 50 in Biology, 48 in English Language, 47 in Chemistry, 47 in French and 38 in Latin. Sepehr Tahmasebi joined the School in Year 7, 2013 and soon distinguished himself as a high achiever in his academic pursuits. He has also been an industrious participator in many extracurricular programs. Sepehr was named a Monash Scholar in 2016, was a House Prefect for Clifford House, leading by example through numerous activities and memorably conducting his House Choir in 2018. In addition to these House roles, Sepehr became actively involved the School’s Rotary Interact Club as well as helping part of the Junior School Mentoring program. Sepehr also participated in DAV Inter-School Debating and was awarded Full Colours in 2018. In Year 11, he achieved 40 in Chinese Second Language and 48 in Mathematical Methods.

SENIOR SCHOOL Top achievers Anthony Stewart, Jake Brown, Charles Huang and Charles Li (Absent: Sepehr Tahmasebi and Alan Chen).
This year, he scored 50 in English, 47 in Legal Studies, 47 in Specialist Mathematics and 32 in Latin. Charles Li was an exceptional student throughout his time at the School. Excelling particularly in Mathematics, Charles received School Prizes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as well as numerous external accolades, including a Silver Medal representing Australia at the International Mathematics Olympiad in 2018. Charles was a Scholar of the School but also contributed to a wide range of co-curricular activities. He earned full Colours for Debating and Orienteering, acting as Vice-Captain for the latter in 2018. Charles was also a Schofield House Prefect and participated in a number of School Choral and Instrumental Ensembles. In Year 11, Charles scored 50 in Mathematical Methods and 42 in Global Politics. This year, he scored 50 in Specialist Mathematics, 50 in Physics, 45 in Chemistry and 41 in English Language. Charles also undertook University Enhancement Mathematics. Charles Huang was recognised as having a conscientious and disciplined approach to his studies. His dedication and tireless efforts resulted in the attainment of exceptional academic grades; however, his scholastic achievements were not restricted to the classroom. School Prizes in English and a Scholar Award in 2017 underpinned his success, but he also participated in DAV InterSchool Debating, earning full Colours, sang in the School Choir and was a Macneil House Prefect. In Year 11, Charles achieved 48 in Mathematical Methods. This year, he scored 49 in English, 41 in Specialist Mathematics, 37 in Chemistry and 36 in Latin. Anthony Stewart was an outstanding Scholar throughout his time at school, earning Academic Excellence awards in all of his Senior School years and named as a Scholar in 2017. In 2018, he won School Prizes in History and English. Anthony was an active member of Bridgland House. He was editor of the House Magazine and involved himself in House Drama and fundraising activities. In Year 11, Anthony scored 47 in Mathematical Methods. This year, he achieved 48 in English, 47 in History: Revolutions, 46 in Physics, 39 in Latin and 39 in Specialist Mathematics.
Alan Chen’s academic achievements were notable, with numerous academic prizes including the School Prize for Chinese Second Language in 2017 and Specialist Mathematics in 2018. These were more impressive when viewed against his full engagement in a variety of co-curricular pursuits. Alan is a talented musician, whose virtuosity was showcased through his longstanding membership of various School musical ensembles, most notably the Chamber and Senior School Orchestras, where he sat with the First Violins. In Year 11, Alan scored 45 for Mathematical Methods and 44 for Chinese Second Language. This year, he achieved 50 in English, 43 in Specialist Mathematics, 40 in Chemistry and 35 in Biology. In 2018, Alan also studied University Enhancement Mathematics. A further seventeen students earned scores of 99 or better. These boys also studied a wide range of subjects and actively involved themselves in the life of the school: Travis Barton, James Bickerdike, Ryan Campbell, Joe Chen, Jacky Chen, Christian Chene, Benjamin Chesler, Nick Goss, Richard Han, Matthew Kautsky, Ming Kim Low, Adam Moore, James Saligari, Michael Tan, WeiHoong Tan, Sam Xiao, Andrew Zhang. 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. Results do not make the man, and this day is just one milestone in the long journey ahead. There is a world of opportunity ahead for all of these young men. I would like once more to publicly acknowledge 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 2018 on their excellent results. It is pleasing to see that their hard work has been rewarded so generously. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

JUNIOR SCHOOL MUSIC
MUSIC
From the first assembly song of the year to the thrilling massed singing that closes the Christmas service, singing is an integral part of the culture of Junior School.
“Cantamos! - Let a voice resound Cantamos! - With a mighty sound
Open Day, Grandparents’ Day and finally a beautiful Christmas program to conclude the year. Mr Nic Johnston has been a wonderful accompanist, enhancing our songs with his trademark improvisational style.
Cantamos! - Swelling from the ground We Sing! We Sing!” These uplifting sentiments sung with great energy by the Junior School Concert Choir at our Hamer Hall performance in September underpin music in the Junior School. In the words of the inspiring Australian music educator, the late Richard Gill, “singing should be the basis of all music learning” and that is just what we do - in our classroom music program and in our strong co-curricular program - we sing! From the first assembly song of the year to the thrilling massed singing that closes the Christmas Service, singing is an integral part of the culture of Junior School.
Junior School Choir Junior School Choir has maintained its strong membership of over 60 boys in Year 4 and 5. Leading the singing at our Easter Service with the traditional Latin Sanctus and The Lord’s Prayer, the Choir produced a fine sound in the beautiful acoustic of St Mark’s. At the May Concert, the Choir’s repertoire expanded in style with the gospel song Good News!, the engaging song Whisper and the beautiful Australian song The Hour I Like Best which has become an established favourite. Subsequent performances have included the Whole School Assembly, 100 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Chamber Singers Chamber Singers began their year with a lovely performance of the Easter Alleluia at the Easter Service. In May, this fine group of 20 young voices led the singing at our service in the All Souls Chapel and also sang the challenging French song Ton Thé at the Mid-Year Concert. They have performed at Open Day, entertained at Grandparents’ Day with the rhythmical Banana Boat song, and completed the year back at St Mark’s at the Christmas Service. Fine accompanying by Mr Mark Kerr supports the musicality of this choral ensemble.
Junior School Concert Choir Junior School Concert Choir was specially formed to represent the Junior School at Hamer Hall. The songs Cantamos! and Stories of My Life were beautifully accompanied by senior students Matthew Wu and Andrew Zeng and were received with loud applause.
Bass Clef Band
With Mrs Trista Fry’s musical inspiration and Mr Ben Bishop’s wonderful accompanying, the young singers of Years 2 and 3 have enjoyed learning many songs for performances at assembly, the Easter Service and Open Day. 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. In their weekly choir sessions, they have mastered part-singing with lovely tone colour and effective dynamics.
Bass Clef Band is an ensemble for beginner cellists and double bass players ably led by Mr Simon Meighan. With a 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 Ensemble Soirée shows fine musical understanding.
Junior School Orchestra
Recorder Ensemble
Junior School Orchestra continues to maintain a high standard of string playing under the baton of Mrs Marcelle Drummond. Assisted by Mr Simon Meighan, Ms Esther Toh and Mrs Miriam Falloon, the Orchestra has performed a challenging program of varied music throughout the year. A highlight was the combined workshop and concert with musicians from Mont Albert Primary School. Viking and Spark Of Courage were the pieces presented at the May Concert. With additional players joining the Orchestra in June, Our Children and Top Of The World were highlights at the Hamer Hall Concert. Term 4 was busy with Open Day and a new program including Let It Go, Over the Rainbow and Mister Santa for the final Ensemble Soirée. At our final concert, we were very sad to say thank you and farewell to Mrs Marcelle Drummond who has retired after teaching and conducting the Junior School Orchestra for 20 years. We will miss her warm encouragement, her search for excellence and the fun she created as we learned to play interesting musical repertoire and to always give our best.
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 Soirée. Trained by Mrs Fry, the boys play with clear articulation and musical phrasing.
String Ensemble
MUSIC
Year 2/3 Superstars Choir
Flute Ensemble Flute Ensemble membership under Mr Greg Lee’s expert guidance embraces all Junior School flautists from experienced players to beginners. Working together as a supportive team they are always keen to perform. The boys have played with musical insight at both Middle School and Junior School assemblies and the Ensemble Soirée.
Pipersnipers Pipersnipers brings our flute, oboe, clarinet and saxophone players together. Led by Ms Linda Wostry, they have grown from a fledgling group of woodwind players to become confident performers with a lovely blended sound at assembly and the Ensemble Soirée.
String Ensemble has mastered the challenges of 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 is a large number of young upper string players who love to play together, to listen to each other, concentrate on bowing technique and perform for others at assemblies, soirées, concerts and Open Day as they develop their instrumental expertise and confidence.

Percussion Ensemble
Twisted Brass boys have worked hard with Mr Chris Day to refine their sound and perform with polish at an assembly, the Brass Soirée and the Ensemble Soirée. Playing trumpet and trombone, they have created a fine brass ensemble with a large number of beginner brass players looking forward to joining this group next year.
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 Soirée.

Year 5 Ensemble Year 5 Ensemble represents the culmination of the instrumental music program in Junior School with all students in Year 5 playing together as the largest music ensemble in Junior School. Commencing in Semester 2, this major project is a daunting task with boys at various technical levels coming together in music
performance. It prepares all students for the large-scale music ensembles in Middle School and is a major focus for music performance in the final year of Junior School. This year’s Year 5 Ensemble performed Dr Who and Junior School Bell, a piece specially written by our conductor Mr Nic Johnston to showcase the strengths of this year’s graduating class. Performances at Graduation and the Final Assembly are a highlight of the students’ musical experience. As we gather each week at assembly, we bond through music; the reflective mood created by confident Year 5 pianists, the music items from ensembles large and small from across the school, inspiring and teaching us and always joining together in song to create the spirit of camaraderie. Assemblies, soirées and concerts allow all our students to discover the essence of music in Junior School, vigorous and strong, touching the lives of each of us. Lifelong skills and understandings have begun in readiness to explore future opportunities. Singing certainly does underpin our music learning.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSIC Middle School Orchestra
Middle School Stage Band
This year started with hours of practice and hard work for the Middle School Orchestra. We had to put in effort and focus, which was on display at the Mid-Year Concert. The boys gave an amazing performance of Jesse Polka led by Mr Johnston and The Sound and the Fury led by Mr Kerr. Our next goal was the Biennial Concert. Being the biggest concert of the year, the orchestra practised with more effort than ever, eventually being able to perform Warrior Legacy conducted by Mr Kerr, in Hamer Hall. While buzzing with excitement, we were able to give a truly spectacular performance. We could not have done it without the help of the teachers, Mr Kerr and Mr Johnston, who we thank for helping and guiding us to learn how to play as an orchestra.
The Middle School Stage Band, conducted by Ms Wostry, performed in multiple events and concerts throughout the course of the year. These included Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, the Mid-Year Concert, and of course the climax of the year the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall. The Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfasts were both early starts for members of the band but were embraced by the boys, particularly when they discovered that there was a breakfast of egg and bacon muffins, doughnuts and hot chocolates to be had. Soloists at these breakfasts included Charles Lewis, William Wu and Michael Hare. A performance to be mentioned was an end of term assembly, where the band performed Take on Me which was an enormous success. Another highlight of the year would have to be the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall where William Wu soloed in Moanin. A huge thank you to Ms Wostry for conducting the band throughout the year.

MUSIC
We have worked on some famous scores throughout the year. For the Mid-Year Concert we played Shadow Warriors by Chris Bernotas and I Just Can’t Wait to be King by Elton John. A medley from The Pirates of the Caribbean was performed at the Hamer Hall Concert. Each piece enabled us to explore a different genre of music which provided us with an opportunity to develop our musicianship in a fun and rewarding way. Our success this year would not have been possible without the brilliant support of our instrumental teachers and the fabulous guidance and leadership from Mr Kerr and Ms Wostry. Freddy Branson

We are a school community that sings together. So much of our benevolent culture, supportive nature and a keen interest in the wellbeing of those around us is encapsulated within these moments of expression when we combine our voices as one. The vibrancy and strength in our singing is a special part of the Camberwell Grammar School experience and has been for many years. It seems that every year brings new research to light that demonstrates the benefits of making music together, and singing has always been the most direct route to achieve this. Yet myself and my colleagues are often surprised to hear of the minimal extent that music is taught and encouraged in the majority of schools in Australia. Singing is a cost-free activity, accessible by everyone, requiring only persistent effort, concentration and creativity from teachers and students. We are so lucky to be part of a community that not only values, but embraces all forms of music making. We have been gifted the opportunity to learn and benefit from this culture, and to be part of something special. With this in mind, I think that singing together is something that can and should extend far beyond the context of our school. Actually, I think that it is our responsibility to include as many people as we can in a community that sings together. Everyone benefits. Singing together brings people together.
I believe strongly that everyone loves singing… sometimes they just don’t know how to yet. If you are reading this now and thinking “I really don’t” then I urge you to consider: How did you learn that you don’t? How could you learn? There is so much to gain from singing together, making music together. We’ve long known the benefits, and the path to achieving them is no different than any other endeavour. Curiosity, effort, persistence. Making music is intrinsically rewarding although not always immediately gratifying. Curiosity, effort and persistence applied with care and over time have created the most rewarding musical experiences for performers and audiences alike. In fact, I doubt if any great musician has ever created anything without these three attributes. Music has the power to capture hearts and minds, transform our thoughts, and bring back distant memories. I sincerely thank the Class of 2018, the musicians of CGS and the music staff for working together to create these memories through their work again this year. I challenge all of us to take what we have learned in 2018 and apply this learning to new contexts and spread our love of music as far and as wide as possible. Mr Ben Bishop Director of Music

The musical year began with the 52nd annual House Music Competition. The night was a breathtaking event and one to truly remember as each House proved to the audience just how capable teenage boys were at singing operatic choruses. While each student was to be commended on their contribution, it was Steven House who took away the trophy owing to their formidable instrumental and superlative singing. After many weeks of rehearsal, the musical Jesus Christ Superstar was performed by Camberwell Grammar and Canterbury Girls’ in what was a spectacular performance. Protagonists Will Woods, Fin Sampson and Lisa Chiodo, as well as the entire cast, delivered powerful performances which were deeply poignant to all present. Just two weeks later, the community was treated to Camberwell Grammar’s Mid-Year Concert – the magnificent product of half a year’s work of rehearsals and dedication. Whether it was Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto outstandingly performed by Brandon Chew, Chorale’s moving rendition of Adele’s Skyfall or the grandiose Te Deum sung by the School Choir; the night was a proud portrayal of talent and enthusiasm. The Biennial Concert was a momentous occasion which was unique in its gargantuan scale. The mass songs this year included Africa, Swing on a Star, Don’t Dream it’s Over, The Anvil Chorus as well as the quintessential Anthem from Chess, I Vow Thee to My Country, Forty Years On and the School and Sports song. After only a handful of mass singing rehearsals – the school produced a musically ebullient sound which made the stage rumble. The feeling of conducting the School is something which I shall always remember as one of the most humbling experiences. The music staff, teachers and in particular Mr Bishop deserve all our gratitude for their countless hours and unwavering commitment to get the best out of every student. I hope that this year’s musical memories will be remembered for many years. Emre Cakmakcioglu Captain of Music
Senior School Orchestra The Senior School Orchestra embarked on a wonderful journey through the whims of music this year, expanding its already diverse and broad capabilities in the difficult, yet nostalgic West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. Staying true to the showmanship and excitement of the Romantic Period, Saint-Saen’s Danse Bacchanale became a favourite amongst the boys, who were riveted by the chaotic yet spontaneous nature of the piece, both of which were played with the utmost passion and musical integrity at the Mid-Year Concert. An even bigger task was to follow - our Biennial Concert in Hamer Hall. And whilst this task did seem daunting, the encouragement of the teachers and unfaltering support of our conductor Mr Bishop carried us through to a stellar performance – a rendition of Crowded House’s Don’t Dream it’s Over and the ominous yet uplifting Berceuse and Finale from the Firebird Suite, composed by Igor Stravinsky. It has been an absolute honour and pleasure to lead the boys this year, they have shown interest, flair and a passion for music which will most definitely carry on for the many years to come.

Senior School Stage Band During my time at Camberwell Grammar, Stage Band has always been the highlight of the music program and this year was no different. Under the direction of Mr Johnston and Mr O’Callaghan, we were able to produce amazing Jazz music and several of us had the opportunity to create our own improvised solos at Hamer Hall. Of course, it takes many hours to reach the high standard of playing that we got to, but you realise that it’s all worth it when you walk off the stage knowing that you’ve created something special - I will always remember the feeling that we all felt after playing our hearts out and then being immensely proud of what we managed to accomplish together as one band. Good luck to all those in Stage Band next year, I am sure that you will all enjoy every moment just as I did. Jake Brown
Senior School Concert Band 2018 has seen the Senior School Concert Band shine once again under the direction of Mr Byrne and Mr Day. For the Year 12s who have been a part of this ensemble for four years to the Year 9s in their first year, everyone has grown and learnt so much in 2018. The Mid-Year Concert saw the Concert Band play three stunning pieces with their varying styles. I had the privilege to be able to lead and conduct Richard Strauss’ Festival Procession alongside Sweeney’s Blue Mambo and Sousa’s The Liberty Bell March. The Biennial Concert was also a great opportunity to showcase the versatility of the ensemble with Joseph Turrin’s Masquerade. We’ve once again been honoured to accompany the Camberwell Grammar School’s Army Cadet Unit in their march out parade on Open Day. Such a brilliant opportunity to wrap up the year. Since joining the Middle Concert Band in 2013, and continuing through to Senior School, I have so many fond memories and great connections that have come from this brilliant ensemble. Harrison McEwen
CGS Chorale 2018 saw the CGS Chorale tackle pieces with acute difficulty and great variety, but the challenges that the pieces imposed on the group saw them rise up and excel past any expectations that one may have had prior to their performances. A total of four pieces were performed by Chorale in the two concerts of the year. In May, Chorale performed the chart-topping single Skyfall by Adele and took on the challenge of recreating a female solo into four male parts. Chorale also performed the beautifully tranquil Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre, and seamlessly soothed the audience with their dulcet tones. For the renowned Biennial Concert, Chorale performed two folk songs from 19/20th century composer Percy Grainger, being I’m Seventeen Come Sunday and The Three Ravens. Both pieces were difficult yet Chorale seemed to ease through the pieces with great enjoyment, with a particular commendation to David Tan who was a soloist in the latter. Of course, no shortage of thanks should be directed to the fabulous conductor Mr Kerr and pianist Mr Roberts, who ensured the year for Chorale was a truly memorable one. Will Woods Captain of Drama

Senior School Choir In 2018 the Senior School Choir lifted their benchmark once again, performing pieces never done by CGS. At the beginning of the year, the focus was firmly upon the Mid-Year Concert with boys preparing for the magnificent Te Deum and the euphoric Hosanna, spurring on from the fantastic efforts from Jesus Christ Superstar. Both pieces were successfully performed with great effort and closed a memorable Mid-Year Concert.
Very soon after, all eyes were firmly focused on the highly anticipated Biennial Concert. Mr Bishop decided to introduce Italian Opera into our repertoire, which has not been done by CGS Choir in a long time. With the help of Ms Pittorino and Mr Bayliss, the boys Italian largely progressed, to perform the Anvil Chorus, Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves and the Funiculi Chorus with a fabulous sound. The boys performed magnificently, and a big thank you goes to the Year 12s for their effort and commitment. A big thank you also needs to go to Mr Bishop for his countless hours to make the choir what it is today. Peter Thorn

their way through copious quantities at the annual Taco Eating Contest, held every year at the Food, Glorious Food Festival. Gluttony is not to be admired!
Based on the well-known Roald Dahl story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this year’s Junior School concert explored the people in this story and the extreme character traits that each represented. For some, this trait was their downfall, for others, it helped them achieve greatness. Hosted by the anchor team from National Norge News, and with five lucky audience golden ticket winners from their Willy Wonka chocolate bars, the evening was launched with fun and variety to please everyone!
Year 1 was highly competitive, striving to win at all costs. With determined spirit, their focus was on wanting to be the best. They were bad and blue as they popped their bubble gum.
The hunters (Year 4B) searched with fierce determination to find and capture the elusive golden tickets, under their huge, multicoloured parachute. Teamwork was their key to success.
Not to be outdone, the Preps showed us that expensive taste and dressing in wonderful designer gear cannot camouflage the shallow focus on money, greed and being spoilt (more dollars than sense). Wearing impressive TV heads, Year 3 represented the single face of digital addiction. With Technologic as their theme, they danced to just one passion… technology! They reached Virtual Insanity but became “cool dudes” once their devices were removed.
The residents of the Norge Retirement Village (Year 4A) fondly reminisced about their visits to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, but it did not take much coaxing for them to regain their youthful energy and break out into energetic line dancing.
Year 5A explored optimism. Dressed in sunshine yellow, their clever wordplay seemed just a jumble of words as they danced to a reggae beat, but they found that hope, aspiration, belief, buoyancy, confidence, positivity, anticipation, assurance, enterprise, certainty and conviction were all good values to achieve.
Led by their mentor and genius of confectionery, Mr Willy Wonka, Year 5B explored leadership qualities from world leaders to sporting stars, and the local community heroes who protect us, discovering that leadership means caring for others.
Two expert game hosts kept the show moving as they delivered some corny jokes; their confidence and personality were as bright as their colourful showbiz costumes.
The hard-working and diligent Oompa Loompas (Pre-Preps) had lots of fun as they danced while demonstrating that true cogs in a well-oiled machine produce teamwork and productivity.
The massed singing of On Top of the World brought to a close a wonderful night of visual colour, great sound and lighting effects. With a wonderful staff support team we discovered once again what talented boys we have in the Junior School.
Year 2 showed the audience that nothing will stand in their way when it’s time to feast! With their great love of food, they ate 116 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018

Oh What a Lovely War When the curtains opened revealing the stage, I was intrigued by an opening scene with colour, action, Morris dancing, music and singing. I suspected however that this happy opening wasn’t going to last long. Since this was a play about the First World War, it would soon transition from the initial optimism and nationalistic enthusiasm that surrounded the outbreak of war to the unhappiness of the soldiers and the devastation of the trenches. After the first scene was over however, the play quickly became complex as the perspective of the characters rapidly flip-flopped and some actors played multiple characters. Overall, I felt perplexed but at the very least interested. If a character was wearing a helmet or had a firearm in a darkly lit area they were most likely in the war. In contrast, if a character was wearing a bowtie and a top-hat in a brightly lit area they were probably in the city or a theatre.

The play portrayed the tensions of war through the threat of death and defeat at every turn. A slideshow projected at the back of the stage showed actual facts and photographs from the war and the number of people who had lost their lives in various battles. Loud noises such as gunshots and explosions were played creating a suspenseful atmosphere to envelop the audience. The cast presented a very complex show with talent, and the back-stage team provided costumes, sights and sounds that painted this part of history with strength and interest. Nicholas Barry Year 8

SENIOR SCHOOL DRAMA
Jesus Christ Superstar This autumn, Camberwell Grammar School, under the direction of Mr Andrew Stocker and Mr Ben Bishop took on Jesus Christ Superstar; Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s seemingly simple retelling of a very familiar story which became arguably one of the most successful and popular British musicals of all time. Andrew Stocker’s interpretation explores the relationship between one individual’s charisma and self-perpetuating status quo. A retelling of a story with its roots in the distant past but one that is startlingly pertinent to our contemporary world. The show opens with Judas (Fin Sampson) revealed stage left high on a pedestal of rock. As in so much of the story, Judas is alone, tortured, his isolation cruelly juxtaposed against the popular Jesus (Will Woods) who mingles with the adoring crowds centre stage whilst Judas is relegated to the edges of the stage, often immobile. The two characters are mystified by each other, their moral and physical distance driving Judas quite literally into the eerie company of the Pharisees. Wracked by guilt after the kiss of betrayal, Fin takes off at speed on a motorbike, Judas’ flight from responsibility reflecting an all too familiar trope of troubled masculinity. The ride was a jaw dropping coup de théâtre; the shocking but inevitable crash accompanied by the tinkle of blood money on the pavement, and choric mourning of So Long Judas, evoking images of country roadside shrines. We first encounter Mary (Lisa Chiodo) as Judas and Jesus argue about the company he keeps, Jesus is genuinely frustrated and confused by Judas’ attitude. Lisa’s quite lovely rendition of Everything’s All Right was a calm juxtaposition to the heat of Judas’ The Camberwell Grammarian 2018 | 121
DRAMA
agitation and fear. After turning out revellers from the temple and expending so much energy healing the lepers, Lisa soothed Jesus with a stunning rendition of the classic I Don’t Know How to Love Him. Lisa gave a genuinely sensitive and affecting portrayal of such a complex character. Will Woods’ Jesus was constantly assured and possessed of the nonchalant charm necessary to evoke both the adoration (and subsequent hatred) of the mob disgorged so greedily by the bus into a border crossing marketplace during the overture. As they say, a mob is always a mob, whichever side it supports. In the Temple Will showed great command of a range of emotions leading to the frantic cry of “heal yourselves” through to “Poor Jerusalem” which was a lovely moment of beautifully quiet reflection before “The end [that] is just a little harder when brought about by friends” at the opening of the second act. Will’s voice in Gethsemane was incredibly compelling and involved a rendition that held the audience absolutely spellbound with his range and emotional control. Christian Chene’s Pilate was a skilfully sympathetic portrayal of what can all too easily become a one-dimensional stereotypical “baddie”. Pilate’s Dream was performed against an exercise in 1970s kitsch luxury punctuated by ritualistic cleansing and supping. Wracked by doubt and regret, Trial Before Pilate was marked a touchingly tender moment of emotional truth with Pilate reaching out to Jesus and begging for him to recant (a moment which came about from improvisation by the boys themselves in rehearsal). The juxtaposition of tie-dyed flowing clothing of the Apostles and the restrictive black outfits of the Pharisee priests was highly effective. Every aspect of Annas, played with superb stage presence by Suzannah Bourke, was buttoned-up and reigned in from her hair and make-up down to her shiny leather boots. Annas complemented brilliantly Sean Halley’s stony-faced puritan presence as Caiaphas. Sean demonstrated an impressive vocal range in songs such as This Jesus Must Die and Judas Death. There was something deeply sinister about every arrival of the Pharisees onstage, as if Slytherin House had engaged the mafia to take them on an excursion to the Middle East. Arman Cakmakcioglu, Rhys Campbell, Ben Finney and Louis Le added menacing style and heft to the cadre of priests. Sahil Balgovind’s extrovert characterisation of a Vegas-style Herod, all bouffant bejewelled sparkles, was hugely popular with the audience. Michael Tan’s Peter had a touching relationship with Mary, their rendition of
122 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Could We Start Again Please? was a highlight, as was Cyrus Chan’s Simon Zealotes number bringing earnest energy and passion to the role of Simon. The show could not have had the same impact without its huge hippy-dippy, tripped-out ensemble, made up from Canterbury girls and Camberwell boys from both the Middle and Senior Schools. The sheer power of massed singing and choreographed movement was invaluable in bringing the show to life. From an aesthetic point of view, Andrew Stocker’s decision to add depth using the Middleton Theatre resulted in moments that framed the action and players to great effect. Benjamin Bishop’s work with an astonishingly accomplished band was, of course, outstanding with the songs flowing almost directly from one into another. Jennifer Bennie’s costumes were essential in setting the piece in the familiar 70s milieu. Miranda McDonalds’ choreography of such a large cast was admirable ensuring movement that was a background to key moments of character interaction was entertaining without being distracting. In key songs such as the Simon Zealot’s number, choric movement swept across the stage and dancers led by Luke Tieri and Daniel Rappel brought great energy to the piece. However a real standout moment would have to be the exuberant rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar where angels dressed in white fanned Jesus to his death, Fin in a Vegas Elvis white suit, the whole broken to reveal Jesus crucified on a scaffold to the sounds of sobbing, and haunting crow caws. Your reviewer found it beautifully fitting that Mark Wager, the set and properties designer, also played God looking on and admiring his work as the audience thunderously applauded their approval. To quote Genesis 1:31 “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good”. Mr Jason Hall Drama Teacher

Barton Bund A2Ethics Art and Design provide all students with 21st Century learning skills. There is no other subject like it. Art and Design challenges the individual to engage in shared conceptual thinking, from an individual idea, through the development process until a considered resolution. For students at Camberwell Grammar School, Art and Design education is both practical and academic. It is engaging, challenging and immensely rigorous. Students are supported to develop both cognitive and practical abilities and to understand the power of visual language; to communicate ideas, challenge and question preconceptions and the dominant paradigm and to influence and persuade. This enables students to participate with passion and intellect in their fast-paced and ever-changing visual world. We farewelled our much-loved art technician Mr Tim Wells who had worked with such dedication and enthusiasm over the past seven years. We thank him for his contribution to the smooth running and growth of our department. We welcomed back Miss Kate Thornburn from maternity leave and in September we welcomed into the Art and Design family our new art technicians Miss Hannah Vowles and Mrs Jennifer Wunderle. We hope their time at CGS will be a fulfilling one. We consolidated our philosophy of having students exhibit their works to the wider community. This year we celebrated the opening of the Year 9 Skateboard Deck show and the Year 10
Impressionist exhibition in the David Williams Gallery. It was so rewarding to see our young artists proudly sharing their works with their families and peers. The David Williams Gallery also played host to the OCGA (and friends) exhibition. This year’s show reflected the diversity of our creative community and the calibre of the participating artists. A highlight was to see the growth in artist numbers, which is most encouraging for the future of the event. In early October we held the VCE Exit 18 Art and Design exhibition. It was a fantastic evening of celebration and there was genuine excitement in all the exhibition spaces. The quality and standard of the works in Art, Studio Art and Visual Communication Design this year was outstanding and again reflected the diversity of subject matter, media selection and personal themes. We acknowledged the efforts of students who won maker’s, encouragement and commitment to their subject prizes. The Headmaster awarded the 2018 Acquisition Awards to Colin Chen for his ceramic bowl series, David Zhou for his large figurative drawing and Luc Raszewski for his threedimensional model. Congratulations to all of our graduating artists. We have enjoyed working with you and witnessing you grow and develop as emerging contemporary artists. We will follow your journey beyond CGS with interest. May I take this opportunity to thank the incredibly supportive and professional Art and Design staff who work tirelessly to provide students with a creative, innovative arts education of the highest order.

“A culture without artistic freedom is bereft of individuality. Without creative freedom, the value of the individual and the grand collective of individuals is spiritually or psychologically diminished. Take away the freedoms of the artist, and society becomes secretive, untrustworthy, and uncivilised. Without a broad, diverse culture of arts and design, societies can disappearblown over by wind and sand. Art is essential to how we understand one another, and how we understand history. God, nature, our own nature, and our past and future are all tied up in our art.”

MIDDLE SCHOOL HOUSE COMPETITION Friday afternoons in Term 1 were dedicated to Athletics trials, Soccer, Hockey and Volleyball. Toward the middle of the term all Middle School boys made their way to Bill Sewart Athletics Track for the House Athletics Carnival. In near perfect conditions the competition between the houses was fierce, there were great performances from competitors, some close finishes and the leading house changed a number of times during the day. By the time all the relays had been run and the final score tallied, Macneil emerged as the winners of the carnival. Winter saw the House Sport Calendar include Cross Country, Indoor Soccer, Football and Water Polo competitions. A number of houses celebrated success with Schofield winning the Football and Water Polo shields, Derham winning the Cross Country and Robinson winning the Indoor Soccer shield. During the last week of Term 2, the House Swimming Carnival was held in Camberwell Grammar’s own school pool for the first time. As with the House Athletics Carnival, competition was fierce and there were many close races as well as a few runaway victories. Seated poolside, close to the action, boys enthusiastically cheered competitors as they powered through the water. The lead changed a number of times during the afternoon but on this occasion, Clifford was victorious.
In Term 4, Friday afternoons were once again dedicated to House Sport. Table Tennis, Softball, Handball and Basketball were all contested during the term. Once more the perpetual shields were won by a range of houses and by the time the House Sport Competition had concluded for the year, seven of the eight houses had won at least one event. All those involved are to be congratulated for the way they conducted themselves in each of the events. The commitment and enthusiasm shown was instrumental to the success of the House Sport Program.

HOUSE SPORT
The 2018 House Sport Competition – The Jarrett Cup – was a hotly contested affair, with honours shared by several Houses over the course of the four major events. Ultimately, it was Schofield who emerged victorious, winning for the second year in a row. Importantly, however, the spirit of sportsmanship and support was evident throughout and all Houses should be commended on their participation.
led by their talented Year 11 and 12 team. Finally, the top floor of the Sports Centre was buzzing with a frenzy of table tennis. Twins Jacky and Jonathan Chen led the way for Steven, combining with a powerful Year 9 and 10 team to give them the win. Overall, Bridgland’s consistency and supreme team management across the whole Multi-Sport competition was enough to give them a win, five points ahead of Schofield and Derham, with Robinson fourth.
The first event of the year was the House Athletics in March, which saw teams head to Bill Sewart Reserve in Burwood. Led by a powerful Year 9 and Year 11 cohort, Derham won narrowly from Schofield, with Summons third. Derham’s consistency was key to success, though Taran Laurence’s individual brilliance in distance events and high jump was clearly valuable. Other strong individual performances came from Zac Johnson (9STE), Lachlan Evans (10SCH), Alexander Wilson-Brown (10SUM) and Matthew McKenna (11BRI), whilst David McColl showed his class as Captain of Games, winning individual gold for Summons in Year 12. It was also encouraging to see plenty of support, with coloured facepaint, capes and sunglasses adding a sense of theatre and encouraging younger athletes to perform their best.
After a short break, the Jarrett Cup shifted its attention to House Swimming, with the Ngaere Wilson Pool hosting Year 9 and 10 events in the morning, followed by Year 11 and 12 in the afternoon. Whilst Summons were too strong in the Year 11 and 12 events, Schofield’s Year 9 and 10s were dominant, sending a clear message that they will a force in 2019 and beyond. Individually, Alexander Hillman (9SCH) and Jasper Fodor (10ROB) took individual gold medals at the junior carnival, whilst Max Foulds (11MAC) and Connor Xu (12SUM) showed their class in the senior events. Nevertheless, it was Schofield’s depth in the relay events which proved key, as they extended their lead in the Jarrett Cup by winning, with Summons and Macneil tying for second.
The second event of the year was the Multi-Sport competition, where a diverse range of activities were held at School and a number of local venues. Traditional intra-House Basketball was held at the Booroondara Sports Centre, where Bridgland dominated the afternoon. Led by First representatives Lachlan Cartwright and Jack Amling, the Bridgland Year 11 and 12 team won their division, whilst their Year 9 and 10 team finished second. Harry McLeod’s Clifford squad were also consistent, allowing them to finish in second place and challenge Bridgland throughout the afternoon. House Tennis was won by Schofield, who dominated both Year 9 and 10 and 11 and 12 categories. Bridgland, Macneil and Summons finished equal second. The remaining four Multi-Sport events: Badminton, Handball, Soccer and Table Tennis were all hosted on campus, utilising the new CGS Sports Centre facilities. In Badminton, Bridgland won both Year 9 and 10 and Year 11 and 12 events convincingly, with Derham clearly second. Bridgland’s organised and well-drilled doubles pairings were exciting to watch and set a benchmark that will be difficult to beat. In Handball, Robinson continued their recent form, winning the event once again at Year 11 and 12 and finishing third in Year 9 and 10 to give them overall success. Soccer was the most evenly contested event of the afternoon, with Steven’s consistency ultimately giving them the overall win,

Term 3’s House Cross Country was the final event of the calendar, with Schofield heading to Westerfolds Park all but assured of the trophy. Nevertheless, they were determined to send a clear message to the other Houses and finish their 2018 campaign on a high note. Individually, the House Cross Country tends to be dominated by athletes from the CGS squad, who are midway through the preparation for the AGSV finals. This year was no exception, with six of the twelve medallists going on to run at Lakeside Stadium a few weeks later. Tom Bowers and Taran Laurence battled right to the line in their Year 10 event, with Taran posting the fastest time of the day. In terms of the team results, the Schofield Year 11 and 12s clearly got the message, both winning their divisions. Their Year 9 and 10s were outshone by powerful efforts from Derham and Macneil, but even by tying Schofield for first place overall, Derham had not done enough to bridge the gap, with Schofield’s Sean Halley able to lift the Jarrett Cup in triumph on the morning of the annual Prize Giving Ceremony. A big thanks to Mr Rhys Thomas and Mr Lachlan Crawford for their organisation of events throughout the year, to Mr Nic Campbell and Mr Hamish Meachem for their efforts at the pool, to all staff and House officials and most importantly to the boys themselves, whose fine sportsmanship and spirit created such a positive atmosphere and sense of fun during each competition.

HOUSE MUSIC The 52nd annual Senior School House Music Competition was the first House event of what was a musically enriching year. The boys this year were fortunate enough to welcome special guest adjudicator Ms Rowena McDowell who delivered such judicious comments which truly encapsulated the performances of the night.
HOUSES
The event provided an opportunity for each individual House to demonstrate their operatic talent but also for the entire Senior School to come together in singing their hearts out in the School and Sports Song as well as the ‘Anthem’ from Chess.
Each House sung with passion, commitment and unity which was an accurate representation of the school community as a whole. Each student had fun and furthermore, enjoyed themselves up on the stage which eventuated in the night being much more than a mere contest. That being said however, the House Music Competition had remained true to its name and a winner was produced although all the performances were of a very high standard. Commendable in their triumph, it was Steven House who walked away with the shield and resulted as the victors in what was a night of passion, unity and exuberance. Emre Cakmakcioglu Captain of Music

HOUSE PLAYS
Steven performed the Broadway show Oliver. With a clever re-contextualisation that saw the orphan Oliver Twist run to Camberwell Grammar to seek refuge, with the drama department aid his induction into the school. Derham performed the recently adapted Beauty and the Beast, with modern costumes that effectively changed the setting of the show, and a vibrant chorus that eagerly performed a wide range of songs. Macneil decided to take on the challenge of High School Musical, adapting it to Grammar School Musical. With relatable humour and an iconic use of lip-syncing, Macneil seamlessly pleased the crowd.
elucidated to the audience the setting and context, while using overly Australian phrases to appease the two different demographics. Bridgland performed the incredibly successful but controversial Book of Mormon, entailing a comical and witty re-contextualisation that saw the Mormons travelling to Tasmania instead of Uganda; and intricate vocal numbers left the audience in no shortage of entertainment. The mystery thriller Sweeny Todd saw Robinson securing this musical, as the opportunities to interpret the play script are vast, and that is exactly what Robinson did. With clever and humorous murder scenes (humorous and murder usually don’t go together but trust me, they were both) and advanced song and sound incorporation, Robinson’s success was paramount. Schofield took on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and hilariously displayed the characters in absurd costumes as well as incorporating vibrant lighting and the notorious Oompa-Loompas with ease.
Clifford presented to the masses A Meta Play, wherein two schoolboys were discussing what options of musicals were available for them to perform, before the audience actually saw excerpts from the shows that were mentioned in their discussion. An interesting concept for sure.
2018 also saw the inaugural awards ceremony take place, where notable performances and ideas were recognised and commended. Particular commendations to Spike Johnson and Philip Alex who were awarded with Best Actors for the year, and further congratulations to the Houses who made finals; with Schofield taking out the competition for this year. Thanks go to all of the staff and students involved, and to Myles Collins who gave up his time to adjudicate the final four performances.
Summons gave to their audience a performance of the famous Lion King, which saw an inventive use of costumes and projection that

The House Plays of 2018 saw shows of the highest calibre being performed, and all involved whether it be acting, directing or technicalities, should be commended for their efforts as the performances were nothing short of entertaining and innovative. The theme for this year’s House Plays was ‘Mini Musicals’. The boys had to condense full-length shows down to just 15 minutes whilst still showing plot development, characters, themes, ideas and providing entertainment value. No easy task. Yet, all eight houses saw performances hit the stage with flowing confidence and enthusiasm.

BRIDGLAND
A great man once said that reward comes from effort. That man, having armed himself moments beforehand with the profound philosophy afforded by a Google search for “inspirational quotes”, was none other than Head of Bridgland House, Mr Devine. No matter; the message need not be earth-shattering and revolutionary to be true, and I can honestly say, having worked with Mr Devine and his army of House Tutors, that they all practise this Bridglandian dogma with a rigour and a pride which is admirable, and far more inspirational than any Internet quote. The new additions to the Senior School, the Year 9s, were immediately hurled into the pressure-cooker of the hotly contested House Music competition this year – and all emerged from it with a flourish, might I add! Bridgland’s diligent and dutiful attendance and effort at gruelling morning rehearsals carried the music to a new height and earned the House a stylish second place (just narrowly falling short of usurping Steven’s elite line-up). House Multi-Sport equally fell to Bridgland’s united athletic front, and Debating was the House’s oyster, in a charge led by Captain of Public Speaking and Debating, Michael Tan. The success
144 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
of the group, which had been built on the central tenets of teamwork and effort, is a testament not to exceptional individual performances, but rather to exceptional levels of participation, and by this, I don’t mean participation in the sense of showing up or doing the minimum. Participation only counts when done with intent. However, at the end of the day, winning House competitions is largely irrelevant (though delightful!). The sweet taste of victory gives way to salty losses and bitter enmity when another House eventually snags the top spot (may the day never come!). But as I myself reflect on my time at the school, the twists and turns and wins and less successful campaigns of the House (and indeed of all teams I’ve been in) are really just a backdrop for the great friendships and fun I’ve shared in. Keep this in mind and may the Bridgland Brigade march on ready to face a new year of challenges and growth. Christian Chene Captain of Bridgland

CLIFFORD
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ The theme of togetherness ran strong this year in Clifford, inspired by the image of an interlocked chain that appears on our crest. An important aspect of togetherness is a concerted effort by all to contribute to the success of the House and the wellbeing of those within it. This was seen prominently right from the get-go. While adjusting to a new look Clifford, with new leaders, new students and even some visitors on exchange, it was the exceptional willingness of almost the entire House to take part in all activities that stood out the most. This was especially evident at the start of the year, with the ever-challenging House Music approaching rapidly. It was truly a commendable effort from the entire House, led by conductors Fin and Sepehr, and also the instrumentalists, to claim a fourth place in this prestigious event…Despite differing interpretations regarding the style of ‘Let it Be’ by the Beatles.
146 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
The rest of the year followed suit. Athletics saw many people step up to fill gaps in the team as an increasing number of people fell ‘sick’ (there must have been something going around), and exceeding expectations by their sheer will and determination to represent the House. Swimming also saw some monolithic performances, featuring two school records broken by our Year 11 Freestyle and Medley teams and other great individual performances and even the most hydrophobic Cliffordians getting into the pool. On a cultural front, Clifford maintained its hot debating form of recent years, with some incredible performances by all teams. In particular, the 12A team, led by the congenitally gifted debater Darcy MacCuspie, were extremely unlucky to miss the final after an undefeated run. This year it was a pleasure to be involved in Clifford as House Captain, the intrinsic ability of House events to transcend and unite year levels was something wonderful to be a part of and I have no doubt that Clifford will be in good hands in the future.

DERHAM
2018 was an emphatic continuation of what is now a tradition of triumph for the boys in red. I said to them on the first day of school “If a collective effort is given and we all support each other, the results will come, I know it” and in hindsight they have most certainly done so. From the outset, the boys kicked off in full voice in our annual House Music competition. Under the theme of ‘Opera’ this year, Michael Lewis led the lads in a rousing rendition of ‘Soldier’s Chorus’ in French. After well-placed finishes in our part song ‘Gold’ and an impressive Shostakovich piece, we finished third in the first competition of the year. Across all years, both strong teams coupled with our more ‘underdog’ teams debated with vigour and passion also as part of the Prefects’ Cup competition. With a reputable athletic history, we looked to prolong our House Athletics Carnival accomplishments. Equipped with a strong outfit from all year levels, streaks of red crossing the line first was a common sight as we managed to defend and retain the Athletics shield for 2018. Following last year’s rain-out of the Multi-Sport competition, we verified last year was no fluke. Consistency over all year levels, backed by domination in basketball and badminton resulted in a respectable second place for Derham. Then came the dreaded House Swimming and Cross Country events, where all Houses were stretched to their limits to dig deep and garner full support and effort. The boys showed very resilient and supportive character, with hands going up from everywhere, volunteering to fill in and provide the House with strong swims to again seal another podium finish. On top of that, endurance over three kilometres and a battering school year seemed like no problem, with the collective effort really coming through to 148 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
hand us equal first position to round off the year of House sports. Tailing Alister Wong and Kelvin Hou’s leadership to a mighty House Chess result, it was the future’s turn to complete the cultural activities in the form of House Drama. 2019 leaders Lachlan Melville and Tom Graves led from the front in a strong ensemble performing a modernised, humorous musical ‘Beauty and the Beast’. The tenacity and dedication shown by our thespians place the future of Derham in safe hands. Our effort was not only seen out on the sporting field and theatre but also in our academic efforts. We once more finished top three in the Dickinson Shield, which really is encouraging to see that our boys put their mind into every aspect of school life. Our House charities were equally as successful, especially RSPCA cupcake day in conjunction with Weickhardt Library. We managed to raise $1,000 for our ‘sweet’ cause. 2018 was really a ‘double-decent’ year for the three lions and I’m very proud to be a small part of such a great House. I’d like to thank the fantastic House Prefect team along with Sahil Balgovind and Vice-Captain Michael Lewis. Thank you to the House tutors and teachers for guidance and their encouragement. Shout out to all the Derham boys for making my job a very enjoyable one, I’m very glad to have been able to meet all of you and have some great times and see you grow as a collective. Finally, the utmost appreciation needs to go our Head of House Mr Christopher, who has put endless hours, days, weeks, years of dedication into this House and is a major reason for our success. He has helped me grow as a leader immensely and Derham thanks you for everything you have done. Next year will see a fresh face as Head of House and I am excited to see what the boys can do in 2019.

MACNEIL
2018 proved to be another year abundant with success for the ‘Golden House’ Macneil, filled with both podium placements as well as increased House involvement across all events. In many cases we exceeded the expectations placed on us, positioning our House as a serious contender going into a wide variety of events, a notion which is expected to only increase in years to come. The House events began at the start of Term 1 with the highly anticipated House Music Competition. Our renditions of Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man’, and the ‘Toreador Song’ highlighted both the angelic voices the young men in our House possess, as well as the power of individual cooperation and unity to strive for the benefit of the House as a whole. Hours of hard work invested into the arrangements most notably by Brandon Chew, Pei Hua Liu, Alan Chen and James Tran, in addition to the choir of 80 boys, were essential in the efforts being translated to an impressive fourth place overall, setting the tone for Macneil’s successes in the year to come. The sporting events of the year further highlighted the diverse talent possessed by the collective, as every member of the House participated in an event where possible, echoing the importance of camaraderie in Macneil. The athletic prowess of the new intake of Year 9s saw many podium placements throughout the House Athletics Carnival, yielding an impressive fourth place overall. Individual performances from Jordan Liang, Jimmy Smith and David Augustes helped to seal the final placement, as well as notable victories from several of the relay teams across Years
150 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
9-12. Such results were repeated in the House Swimming and Cross Country competitions, yet again proving the consistency and well-rounded nature of Macneil’s cohort, in which placements of fourth and third overall were achieved. External to the sporting competitions, Macneil also boasted impressive results in the House Debating Competition through the mesmerising argumentative talent of the individuals involved, especially the likes of the Year 11/12 A and Year 9/10 A Grade teams, whom both found themselves in the finals series. The Year 9/10 team further went on to achieve first place, thanks to the hard work of Jamie Garnham, Luke Doblin and Haotian Huang, with the assistance of their Year 12 mentor, Charles Huang. Whilst the overall placements in the House Competition series suggest a growth in Macneil’s ability, they fail to do justice to both the individual and collective successes within our House in 2018. With a strong foundation set for the future, and a talented group of young men led by our passionate Housemaster, Mr Green, the future looks brighter than ever for Macneil.

ROBINSON
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” – Wayne Gretzky The theme of journeys and personal growth was a key idea that ran through Robinson this year. This was thoroughly explored through our first House Chapel Service organised by Peter Thorn. We discussed the importance on establishing a legacy through achievements and extra-curricular activities, as these form the memories we look back on rather than our Year 9 Science tests. This notion was evident in the House Music competition, which is always a challenge as most of the House is pushed out of their comfort zone by not only singing a song, but having to perform on stage. A big thanks is owed to Peter Thorn and Adam Moore for their musical contribution and creating a fun environment where people could both laugh at ‘the office’ during rehearsals, as well as focus when it was time to practice. Additionally, congratulations is owed to Oliver Papillo for organising House Chess and bringing in a strong second.
152 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
When it comes to House events, the year started with a drastic illness which overtook Robinson at House Athletics. However, after promises of lollies and some carefully planned propaganda involving dogs, participation increased and everyone was able to grow and challenge their personal goals. Robinson has always prided itself in powerful House Drama performances and this year is no different with Benjamin Finney and Nicholas Gooden’s hard work in organising Sweeny Todd. A final thanks to vice-captain Noah Marshallsay who led by example and was a friendly and supportive figure to all year levels. It has been an absolute pleasure to be House Captain this year, as it has given me a platform to form personal connections with some very amazing people across all year levels. I have no doubt that this culture will continue for years to come. Travis Barton Captain of Robinson

2018 was a year rich with success for the ‘Schoers’ with triumphant victories in House Swimming and House Cross Country bringing home the Jarret Cup once more. Ending the year in style, next year’s Captain Divjot Walia lead the boys to win House Drama with a tremendous group effort performing a pastiche of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Such a prodigious end to the year sweetened a most bitter taste left by the great robbery of House Music. Regardless of Schofield’s successes or defeats, we consistently remain the loudest and proudest of Camberwell’s eight factions. This however, is not self-pride or hubris, rather, a humble proudness the individuals in the group feel for each other. Indeed, what I have seen in this group is a bunch of great equals who support one another with no regard to differences because they all share the

same Schofield spirit. This is an infectious culture which I am proud to say is steadily seeping through the veins of the wider school community. This year we said adieu to Mr Cooper; tutor, French teacher, legend. From all the boys, thank you Mr Cooper for being such an integral part of our House for so many years. From me personally, thank you sincerely for being my tutor for the past four years, keeping me on track and supporting me in the proudest of times and the most difficult of times. Schofield must now say goodbye to the Class of 2018; a group of boys who have been integral to the growth of the House and the school community.

The year couldn’t have started off better, with a second consecutive House Music win. Performing the songs ‘Anvil Chorus’ and ‘Piano Man’ for mass singing as well as a quartet written by Composer Dimtri Shostakovich, and lead by the talented Emre Cakmakcioglu and Ethan Liu, the House secured a memorable victory. Whilst the House Multi-Sport, Swimming and Debating competitions may not have earnt first prizes, they continued to provide platforms for the different year levels to get to know each other. The House Athletics day showed the talents of many of the younger year levels, with strong performances by Finnegan Weston, Lachie Waycott, Ollie Spalding and Hilton Xie. However, it was the 200m sprint from Dili DeSilva that was the highlight, as he ran his final event at CGS, and last race before his trip to the National Athletics Competition with the whole school watching. The House Chess competition yielded first prize, once again on the back of Jacky and Jono Chen’s efforts. The House Cross Country was a great display of effort and ability across the board, yielding vast improvements in all year levels. Notable performances included Tristan Patsiotis (2nd), Finnegan Weston (5th) and Zac Johnson (3rd). This signified the end of House events for the class of 2018, and we wish the boys the best of luck for House Drama, who lead by Luke Tieri and Louis Le, are sure

SUMMONS
This year Summons House farewelled the esteemed Tutor Mr Thomas who has been part of the House since Mr Crawford left on leave at the start of 2018. We welcomed Mr Lockwood who stepped into the Summons Tutor role. House Music started the year and this brought many challenges and ours was the unusual choice for the instrumental item with an original arrangement of Finding Nemo’s theme and Toy Story 2’s ‘When Somebody Loved Me’. This, alongside, ‘Weather With You’ and ‘La Donne E Mobile’, conducted by House Prefect Benjamin Chesler, provided Summons with the opportunity to come together as a team through hard work. To be pitted against other incredible Houses, we congratulated everyone for a fantastic night. The annual Summons House Gelati Day raised $1,036 for The Lighthouse Foundation. This organisation provides homes, care and a sense of family to young, homeless people. A monumental effort from students from Year 9 to 12, in particular Year 12 House Prefects Joe Chen and Ryan Campbell who led this successful event.
In March, House Athletics ran smoothly with House members displaying sportsmanship. Under the able coordination of House Prefect Matthew Perri, effort and success placed Summons third overall. Congratulations to Alex Wilson-Brown for receiving Gold, Harley Beechey for receiving Silver and David McColl who received Gold and great results throughout the day. The battle of words followed the battle on the Athletics field and all year levels performed phenomenally in April’s House Debating. Topics ranged from ‘banning laptops in schools’ to whether ‘the Australian Constitution needs a bill of rights’. The 11/12 As secured a win, and all teams worked diligently under the co-ordination of Year 12 House Prefect Luc Raszewski. We planned and created the inaugural Summons House Service in the All Souls Chapel. With the theme of courage, the service consisted of readings, reflections, music items and House singing. A worthy addition to the House arsenal of events that will for sure continue into the future. I would like to thank House Prefects, House Tutors and, particularly the Head of House Ms Norris, for consistent and never-ending support throughout the year. Without all of your leadership, I would not have had the remarkable experience as House Captain that I did. Lastly, congratulations to Harley Beechey (House Captain), Cameron Martin (Senior Cadet Under Officer) and Andrew Zeng (Vice Captain of School) who have been appointed as School Prefects in 2019, and whom will most definitely lead the house through another successful year.

Year 6 Camp Manyung On a cloudy Tuesday, Year 6 were excited and enthusiastic for camp at Mount Eliza. The bus ride was noisy and rowdy to Camp Manyung, even though we were tired from lugging the heavy bags all the way to the bus stop. When we finally arrived we were warmly welcomed by the staff and were shown around the area. Afterwards, we were shown to our cabins which consisted of four bunk beds and an ensuite. Everyone was pretty happy with the cabin choices. We ate lunch, which was make-it-yourself rolls and healthy burgers. Coming up was our first activity, the giant swing. I loved it along with our second rotation, low ropes. Then, after our free time and showers, we ate dinner and attended an astronomy talk where we saw an actual meteorite! Everyone went to bed in a great mood. Camp so far was a great experience, and this was only the first night.
162 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
The next day we woke up to another two amazing activities. The first one was tree rolling which is where you follow a course in the tree tops on scooters. The next, in everyone’s opinion, was one of the best activities! It was the 120 metre flying fox. They were both well planned and I would definitely do them again. After a great afternoon snack of chocolate cinnamon biscuits, we held our own version of the amazing race which consisted of four teams racing around trying to complete ten group activities as quickly as we could. The next day most of us had lost our voices and could barely talk. It was a full-on day with four activities ahead of us. They consisted of bike education where we rode around the camp on mountain bikes, kitchen garden where we made our own pizzas from the vegetable garden and archery where we learnt to shoot a real bow and arrow. Finally, we did the crate climb where you had to stack crates as high as you could with a person on top of them. After a great dinner and a movie we went to bed, exhausted! On the final day, we had breakfast, some free time and then sadly we had to pack up and say good bye. Max Mckenzie and Samuel Chan Year 6

Toward the middle of Term 1 the Year 7 students spent a week at Lord Somers Camp on the Mornington Peninsula. The camp helps students develop friendships outside their class groups, face challenges together and spend time in the outdoors. Activities included stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, screen printing, hiking and raft building which extended students beyond their comfort zones and developed problem-solving skills. Warm, clear days ensured that groups enjoyed their time in the outdoors and provided ideal conditions for spotting dolphins in the bay and morning runs along the beach. The creation of form group t-shirts proved to be a highlight of the week. Each form designed, screenprinted and proudly wore their shirts for days.
Year 8 Camp Kangaroobie During the last week of November, Year 8 students made their way to southwest Victoria for Year 8 Kangaroobie Camp. Held at the end of the year, the camp facilitates students’ transition from Middle School to Senior School. On Year 8 Camp, groups are arranged according to House allocation rather by class so that students have the opportunity to get to know Senior School Heads of House, tutors and student leaders.
Throughout the week, students had many opportunities to develop their outdoor education skills, experience life on a working farm and undertake a multi-day hike. This year, groups hiked along sections of the Great Ocean Walk in the Great Otway National Park, carrying all their equipment and preparing all their meals. At times during the camp, many students found themselves in challenging and unfamiliar situations, but all students are to be commended for the way they managed themselves and supported each other throughout the camp.

Year 8 Surf Camp Year 8 Surf Camp aims to develop connections between students and their form teacher in an informal, outdoor setting. Form groups stay in a variety of different locations and undertake water safety and surfing lessons at local beaches. This year, groups stayed at surf clubs and camps in Ocean Grove, Queenscliffe, Anglesea and Bancoora. Some had the beach at their doorstep, others found themselves in a bush setting. All locations provided ample opportunities for games and relaxation after a tiring day in the surf. Superb weather ensured that everyone enjoyed their time and returned home with a greater appreciation of beach safety and new-found surfing skills.
Tassie Trek At the conclusion of the school year a group of Year 8 students made their way to Tasmania to undertake a multi-day hike through dramatic and stunning coastal bush land. Equipped with sufficient food and supplies for five days in the remote bush, the group set out from Fortescue Bay on Saturday 8 December. Initially the track climbed up and everyone felt the weight of their packs but by mid-morning it had leveled out and views of grasslands and mountains stretched as far as the eye could see. By late afternoon the sheer cliff s of the coast had come back into view and it was time to locate the campsite for the first night. Pleased to set packs down, everyone eagerly set to pitching tents and preparing dinner.

As the week progressed the group developed its own routines, mastered the art of pitching tents quickly, got innovative with the food rations and learnt to appreciate the little things; sunshine after rain, a warm sleeping bag at night, a stunning vista revealed by parting clouds. Each hiker was challenged physically or mentally at some point during the week but they rose to challenges admirably. Discussions over dinner on the final night prove that memories of the trip will last a lifetime and that extended journeys in remote bush provide unique and invaluable learning experiences for all those involved. 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
CAMPS AND TOURS
Year 9 Camp At the beginning of June, students travelled far and wide for the Year 9 Camp program. The Year 9 Camp program continues to offer students a diverse range of options, in Victoria and interstate. In 2018, students had a choice of seven camps; mountain biking along the Goldfield Track from Ballarat to Castlemaine, camel trekking in the Flinders Ranges, rock climbing at Mount Arapiles, mountain biking, rock climbing, abseiling and hiking in the Brisbane Ranges, caving at Wee Jasper, sea kayaking around North and South Stradbroke Islands and sailing around the Whitsunday Islands. With so many options, group sizes rarely extended beyond 25. The smaller group sizes facilitated a greater connection between students, staff and activity leaders as well as allowing groups to journey through areas that are not accessible to larger groups. Mountain biking along the Goldfields Track, run by Cycling Unlimited, was a new addition to the camp program this year. After catching a V-line train to Ballarat, student and staff were met by Cycling Unlimited staff and quickly found themselves on bikes and making their way along the track. Each day, conditions varied widely and on any given day riders could find themselves cycling along fire access roads, single lane bush track, asphalt and through gravel. The varied surfaces presented different challenges and whilst there were some extremely challenging uphill grunts there were also many downhill runs that gave weary

legs a rest and cooled sweaty faces. Feedback from those who attended the camp indicates it was a challenging but rewarding week and it is likely the camp will be offered again in future years. Those flying north to sail were focused on a week of sun, sand and sea and were eager to find out which yacht they would be sailing on for the week. Each yacht housed between 20 and 22 people in very close confines. Upon arrival at Airley Beach, the yachts were immediately visible slightly offshore and it was simply a matter of loading luggage onto tenders, fitting life jackets and being transferred to the yachts. Once on board, it quickly became apparent that space was limited and order would need to be maintained throughout the week if everyone was going to be able to live happily together. Bunks were quickly allocated, lunch enjoyed and the sailing began. During the week the group learnt how to raise sails, how to tack and jibe, how to read marine charts and much more. Each day there were opportunities for all sailors to disembark the yacht and explore some of the local islands and sheltered coves. Walks amongst the tropical bush revealed a diverse range of native flora and fauna along with magnificent views. A dip in the water introduced all swimmers to a vibrant array of fish and coral. Each night the yachts anchored in calm waters and dinner was enjoyed on board before everyone retired to their bunks for the night. The week passed quickly, and it was not long before students and staff were back in Melbourne telling tales of their week away.
Those who chose to join the Multi-Activity Camp found themselves in the Brisbane Ranges National Park, near Anakie in Victoria. As the camp title suggests, there were multiple activities included in the camp program. Students hiked, mountain biked, rock climbed, abseiled and took part in an overnight survival activity. The multi-activity format is great for those who want to try a range of different activities, rather than just focus on one for an entire week. For many, the highlight of the week was the overnight survival activity, where students found themselves in the bush, in small groups, reliant on each other. Groups set up a camp for the night, prepared food and kept themselves entertained.
Students on the Outback Camel Trek spent five days travelling through the Flinders Ranges in outback South Australia. Each day the group travelled to a new location, set up camp with their swags and prepared their meals in camp ovens on open fires. As the week progressed students learnt to groom, saddle and ride camels, in terrain that was often challenging for hikers and camels alike. Evenings were spent star gazing, sitting by the campfire and hearing tales of what life was like for early Afghan cameleers. Arriving at Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park those on the Rock Climbing Camp were confronted by the cliffs, crags and pinnacles that make Mount Arapiles one of Australia’s top rock climbing sites. Those that chose to spend their camp week at Mount Arapiles had signed up to spend a week developing their climbing skills. Near perfect weather provided many opportunities for students to climb a range of crags including a couple of multi-pitch routes. After setting up camp at Natimuk Lake the group set out to explore the area. Early climbs gave climbers stunning views of the Wimmera and the contrast between bush and agricultural land was evident. The experiences students had varied widely but regardless of where they were, all had opportunities to strengthen their relationships with peers, develop a connection with the natural environment and learn about their own ability to cope in challenging and unfamiliar situations. Ms Kirsty McDougall Director of Co-Curricular Activities
The Year 9 Camp program continues to offer students a diverse range of options, in Victoria and interstate. In 2018, students had a choice of seven camps.

CAMPS AND TOURS
Paddling out of Jacobs Well on the Gold Coast, those on the sea kayaking camp paddled around North and South Stradbroke Islands. Sea kayaks are the ideal craft for exploring marine environments and particularly for exploring coastlines and coves but they have a very limited amount of space in which paddlers can stow belongings. As the group was heading out on a fiveday, self-supported journey, they needed to pack all personal belongings, group equipment and food into the kayaks. The packing of hatches is akin to playing Tetris, each piece must be carefully placed. Throughout the week the group developed their paddling skills, their understanding of the impact tide, swell and wind can have on paddling and saw a variety of native wildlife. A particular highlight of the trip was watching a group of dolphins play in the water near the group as they paddled.
CAMPS AND TOURS
Central Australia Dreams of endless red desert, timeless mountains and thriving communities flooded my mind before we departed on our eight-day camping adventure to Central Australia. The trip did not disappoint. During the first week of the September school holidays, 28 students from Year 8 and 9 and three staff, headed off to Alice Springs to begin our adventure. We were soon accustomed to the striking heat and every stop around Alice Springs was a new experience for the staff and students. One could not help think how isolated the explorers and workers on the Telegraph Station must have felt when they looked at the vast endless desert, arid bushland and MacDonnell Ranges. After we explored Simpson’s Gap and heard about the importance of this site for local indigenous people, we returned to the MacDonnell Ranges Holiday Park, where we were thoroughly entertained by Rex’s display of native reptiles. At one point we managed to form a circle and Rex passed a Rainbow Serpent python around, quite an experience. The following day in Alice, we learnt about the important role of the ‘Royal Flying Service’ and the ‘Alice Springs School of the Air’; purchased souvenirs 168 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
and then we returned to the caravan park for another threecourse meal. The food throughout the trip was freshly prepared at our campsite by Cheryl, who could not believe how much food we managed to eat over the eight days. A camel ride, the physical sight of the King’s Canyon rim, the sunset with dips over-looking Uluru and the mystic gorge in Kata Tjuta with its 36 domes, were all obvious highlights, but from all reports, the students especially enjoyed constructing horticulture at the Wanmarra Community. After an aboriginal leader warmly invited us into the community with a traditional ‘welcome’, we set about laying pipes, building gardens and rock wall features on a thirty-acre site. We felt that we were making a difference to the community and could see their vision for the future. Once back at school, the Year 8 students felt empowered to raise funds for the community through the Year 8 Social so our connection with the community will continue to grow. It was sad to depart the bus captain and assistant for the flight home, but we hoped that our paths might cross again in the future. A fabulous trip organised to perfection and a unique experience for many students. This short note does not do justice to the great trip we had. I would personally like to thank Mr Rob French and Ms Victoria Papaioannou, for making it such a wonderful experience. Mr Shaun Burke Head of Middle School Operations
CAMPS AND TOURS
Overall, the trip was an amazing experience and highly recommended by all who went.
Galapagos Island The trip to Galapagos Island is a bit of a mission, resulting in the need for an overnight stay in Lima, Peru, where some of the boys decided that rather than sleeping, they would surf the Peruvian TV channels. We arrived in Quito, taken aback by the astounding vista of densely packed homes. We decided to climb to the top of Quito, which was around 2.5km above sea level. The view was breathtaking, partially because at such a high altitude there is noticeably less oxygen!
The incorrectly named ‘Mitad del Mundo’ (middle of the world, 0,0 in coordinates) was an incredible place to visit. The selfguided tour allowed us to go at our own pace and explore the area. Many of the students purchased tacky souvenirs, some souvenirs with their hidden secrets. Once again, a beautiful view proffered the perfect chance to take a panorama. Unfortunately, one teacher got a tad absorbed in the view and missed the bus to leave. So naturally, when he returned to us, a few minutes later, there was raucous laughter and applause. Cotopaxi. Oh boy. If we thought we had acclimatised to the altitude, we were wrong. A 2.4km hike took it out of all of us. A few brave souls decided to try and sprint the last 200m at 3,800m above sea level. That was a bad idea and generated more good-natured ribbing from the peanut gallery. Kicker Rock was challenging as well, more mentally than physically. Trapped between a big rock and a lot of cold ocean. We were able to navigate the completely safe waters. The watery depths yielded many turtles, sharks and fish. We went out on day ventures to Bartolome and North Seymour Island. Bartolome provided simply incredible geological formations, much to the excitement of one teacher. For the rest of us, the snorkelling was the highlight of Santa Cruz. It entailed sea lions, rainbow fish, fish that pooed at you when you got to close, penguins and many more. All of these, within less than a foot. We also saw many boobies. Needless to say, there was a wellrounded complement of jokes.
The Camberwell Grammarian 2018 | 169
We then moved on to Isabela, where we met the fabulous Maximo. A few of the boys spent a large amount of the time left frothing over Maximo and his quad bike, his four-wheeled stallion. He took us through tiny channels, filled with sleeping 2m long sharks. Unsurprisingly, they awoke when 20 oafs swam right above them. They got within two feet of us, a little disconcerting for everyone.
The hike up the Sierra Negra volcano was a long one, arduous but not necessarily difficult. It allowed us to get more acquainted with our teachers and get to know them better (which wasn’t as bad as it sounds). Conversation flowed easily, pictures were taken and a wholesome experience ensued. Overall, the trip was an amazing experience and highly recommended by all who went.

SSV State Athletics Championships Congratulations goes to Ben Ford who competed the 12/13 Years Shot Put (8th) and High Jump (7th) events in the State Schools Victoria Athletics Championships (SSV) held at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park.
It was another exciting and successful season of Sport at the school over the course of the three seasons and 28 sports offered. Not only were there more AGSV premierships added to the collection, but students across all levels also participated in a vast array of activities and had increased opportunities to be physically active and challenged. Along with the Sport programme, The David Dyer Fitness Centre had never been as busy and group fitness sessions were being run on a consistent basis. After a three-year drought, the First XI Hockey team was successful in winning their 20th Associated Grammar School Victoria (AGSV) Premiership in a convincing performance in the Final against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar. The future of Hockey at the School looks bright, with strong performances from year level teams indicating future premierships are more than likely. Badminton continued their dominance from recent years by taking out another AGSV Premiership, making it five-in-a-row. Jason Tran, Benjamin Chen, William Nguyen and Otto Zhao added to the success of the sport by winning the Victorian All Schools Championships. Next year, Badminton moves to the Winter Season for the first time. The third AGSV Premiership for the year was won by the First VI Table Tennis team. That’s now nine premierships from the last ten years; an outstanding achievement. The enthusiasm and depth within Table Tennis at the school combined with the facilities and coaching suggests that continued success is almost guaranteed.
The 300 strong student body of basketballers enjoyed a second season in the new Sports Centre. The First V team finished fourth and made the finals after a long absence. The programme continues to thrive under the guidance of Stephen Blackley looking after the First team and offering Development Squad training sessions on a weekly basis. He also arranged for Drexler Basketball from Philadelphia to train at the school, which was a highlight for our students. Excitement levels increased towards the end of 2018 with the tour to the USA. Playing their first matches on the Keith Anderson Oval, the First XI Cricket team toiled hard throughout the season to finish ninth. All students had the opportunity to train at the school’s new facilities, with turf and synthetic nets now available on the KAO. The tour to New Zealand in December 2018 was a great experience for our Senior students, while the Junior cricketers look forward to their tour to the United Kingdom in June/July next year. Junior Football teams showed positive signs for the Football programme in years to come, with the 7A and 8A teams recording favourable win/loss records. The First XVIII team won their first game since 2015, and hopes are high to push for more over the next few seasons, especially with the appointment of a new Director of Football and First team Coach late in 2018. Despite the First VIII Tennis team finishing the season in eighth place, the sport continues to thrive and the Junior teams showed

incredible potential. The 7A and 8A teams were undefeated and have students pushing for First selection next season to take the school back to a finals appearance. With the development of courts at Leason Street gaining momentum, it will only increase the profile and standard of the sport.
Approximately 100 Camberwell students participated in the optional Spring sport and achieved pleasing results. The Junior teams dominated their opposition and battled each other in the grand final, while the Intermediate and Open teams performed admirably.
The First XI Soccer team experienced the tactical knowledge of new coach, Davide Bertamini, and were led well by School Captain, Jack Fitzgerald. The team created many chances and had close contests against strong opposition to finish a respectable sixth. The Soccer programme remains one of the biggest in the school and remained well supported by students and parents.
Kayaking had consistent and excellent performances from many students in the squad, competing again at the Bendigo Cup and Cobram 40 Miler. It is a sport that continues to attract interest from students and has great support from parents.
Volleyball teams across the board grew in confidence and skill with more structured coaching. Liam Gibson was instrumental as the First team Coach and after a strong start to the season, the team finished in sixth place. After an intensive five-week training block and trials under the direction of Craig Mottram and his team of coaches, the Athletics Squad took to Lakeside Stadium to compete in the AGSV Athletics Finals. There were many outstanding results on the day, highlighted by Ben Ford, Sebastian Beck, Hugo Akse, Jordan Liang, Jimmy Smith, Tom Bowers and Taran Laurence. The team amassed 30 podium finishes from 76 events and accumulated more points than previous years to only narrowly finish in fifth place. With the younger year levels doing so well, the hope is to keep climbing the ladder. Mottram also continued his work with the Cross Country Squad, who demonstrated further progress and finished fourth for a second consecutive season. Taran Laurence finished equal third in his age group as our only individual medallist. The Swimming team finished third at the AGSV Finals night. Just reward for countless hours and early mornings throughout the summer. The squad has benefitted greatly from the new 50-metre pool at the School and are now being put through their paces by Aquatics Coordinator, Nic Campbell. A group of students will make their way to the Gold Coast for an intensive training tour early in 2019. Outside the traditional AGSV Sports, the school is proud to offer a variety of activities for students to participate in, some more recent additions to the Sport programme than others. While not regarded as an official AGSV Sport, Water Polo is played against Trinity, Ivanhoe, Melbourne High and Whitefriars. 176 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Squash competed in the Melbourne Junior Pennant based at Westerfolds. In Term 4, the First team finished fourth and then in second place in Term 1. In an impressive performance, the Junior team comprising of Harry Watson, Ben Bosmans, Caeden Yap and Kai Sapolu finished runners-up in the Victorian Squash titles. Futsal is offered to Year 11 and 12 students and is played each Winter season against Trinity Grammar. This year, the Camberwell teams were dominant, playing off in an allCamberwell grand final which resulted in the School’s fourth premiership in-a-row. This year was played at Trinity and next year it will return back to the Camberwell Sports Centre. Archery and Real Tennis are more recent additions to the Sport Programme and the interest from students remained high. Archery, in particular, has a waiting list of students wanting to join the sport, while Real Tennis students are embracing their Sunday afternoon sessions at Richmond Real Tennis Club. Led by Darcy MacCuspie, the Fencing Squad prospered throughout their many competitions. Coach, Pieter Leeuwenburgh has developed an outstanding programme for students to flourish and develop. Akalanka Gunawardana is one of the juniors to look out for in coming years. Taekwondo moves to the Summer season in 2019, however, the Squad gained valuable experience and discipline from Barry Akehurst and Mr Hamish Green. Many students advanced their belts, while the hope is to participate in events more consistently in the future. Not only did the Orienteering Squad improve their cardiovascular endurance, they successfully navigated their way around various venues across Melbourne. Lawn Bowls has had somewhat of a resurgence of late. The squad grew in numbers and in confidence under the leadership of Benjamin Chesler. In the annual Challenge Cup held against
SPORT Ivanhoe in Term 4, they were only narrowly defeated, while they finished a commendable runners-up in the AGSV Bowls Competition.
benefit from some extra training in their chosen sport and improve their chances of excelling and hopefully playing in the First team.
The Baseball programme, in conjunction with North Balwyn Baseball Club, again offered students to be involved in a less traditional sport. Teams were fielded at Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17. Although the team had varying levels of experience, the Under 13 Blue team made the grand final; a long, yet rewarding season.
Each year the AGSV selects representative teams to play against APS sides. Congratulations to the Camberwell students chosen for these teams: Badminton: Otto Zhao, Benjamin Chen, Jason Tran. Cricket: Vihaan Narayana. Football: Ryan Walsh. Hockey: James Sampson, Charlie Harper, Nicholas Gooden. Soccer: Jack Fitzgerald. Table Tennis: Michael Tan (Captain), Ethan Tang, Nathan Shi. Volleyball: Sean Kennedy.
The Triathlon and Cycling squads are two of the most dedicated and hardworking groups of students in the school. Mr Mark Collins continued to run regimented and effective training sessions on foot, bicycle and in the pool, while Mr Marcus Jones oversaw the cyclists in their multiple events.
Multi Skills Development (MSD) continued to work on movement skills of the less qualified sports enthusiast within the school. They gained confidence and knowledge of all things sport and fitness in a controlled environment.

The Friends of Groups organised memorable presentation nights, recognising the efforts and achievements of the students within their respective sports. Their continued support is both important and highly appreciated. Some groups also organised season launches, including inspirational guest speakers and even some sport prizes.
Camberwell Grammar School continues to establish itself as one of the finest boys’ sporting schools in Victoria. However, it is the staff (teaching and non-teaching), coaches and parents who are involved in Sport who make this possible. For that reason, I thank you. Thanks also to the Friends of Groups who provide invaluable support.
Development squads continue to be an important part of the Hockey, Soccer, Football, Basketball, Tennis and Cricket programmes. 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
Many of the school’s elite athletes have been mentioned in this report; however, it is the greater student body, with its combined commitment, determination and sportsmanship that has facilitated the Sport programme to thrive in 2018.
Golf moved to Kew Golf Club for their training sessions and gameplay. Mr Teri Miriklis and Michael Light, the golf professional at the Club, put the students through a strenuous, yet rewarding programme. The Snowsports squad competed in the annual Victorian All School Championships at Mount Buller and finished eighth of the boys’ schools entered. Arya Aminazad and Samuel Li were the standout performers during the weeklong event, earning themselves positions to compete in the National Schools Championships at Perisher, New South Wales.

ARCHERY
SPORT
Camberwell was victorious for a second season, and has thus remained undefeated.
The second Archery season for Camberwell Grammar School was highly successful. We welcomed five new members to the 24 man squad of Middle and Senior School students. The team travelled to the Trinity Grammar School’s Marles Playing Fields in Bulleen twice a week to develop and master the skills required to become competent bowmen. The sport of Archery is unique as both new members and experienced archers can participate simultaneously, and it produces maximum enjoyment for all involved. With a wide range of skills, the senior members of the squad were able to mentor the less experienced archers. The squad was led by professional coaches Sam Islip and Zoran Radicic. Year 12 students, Adam Moore, Darcy MacCuspie, Harry West, and Lochlan Paterson-Crisp and Year 11 students, Rory Lewis, and Niko Verrios also imparted their knowledge to younger bowmen, and mentored them to build a strong technique. Training sessions were conducted on Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons, and each member was assigned their own bow and arrow set to use over the season. The distances of the target increased with experience, starting off from ten metres and increasing by increments of five up to
178 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
30 metres. With the top distance usually reserved for Year 11 and 12 students, Year 9 member Ned Anderson shot consistently well throughout the season, and provided spirited competition for the senior boys. The season included a competition with Trinity Grammar School. As the two schools used the same equipment, the competition could not take place concurrently; however, scores were noted and compared in the week following. Camberwell was victorious for a second season, and has thus remained undefeated since the sport commenced at our school. As the season progressed, the team’s shooting ability was raised to an all-time high standard. To continue the inter-team friendly rivalry, novelty items such as balloons were attached to the targets in the pursuit of bragging rights and short-lived glory. Luke Sudholz Captain I would also like to acknowledge and thank the contribution of our Year 12 cohort this year, particularly Luke Sudholz, the Captain the Archery. Through their dedication to self-improvement, and their mentoring of younger participants, they have played a seminal role in establishing a positive culture and ethos in the Archery squad. Mr Michael Daniel Teacher in Charge
The 2018 Athletics Season was held during Term 3, with over 100 students participating in training, trial competitions and the AGSV Finals at Lakeside Stadium on the 12th September. In a return to methods used several years ago, the squad made more use of School facilities – notably a grass track marked out on the KAO and the new gym facilities – boosting numbers at training and allowing for longer sessions as well as an increased emphasis on strength and conditioning. This, along with growing strength at junior age groups, appeared to deliver strong results overall with many athletes showing outstanding improvement over the season. Led by Captain Dilina DeSilva and Vice Captain Matthew Perri, who provided outstanding support to both staff and boys, the squad participated in five trial meets in the lead up to the Finals. Competition for places on the Finals team was fierce, though injuries at the Open Age Group, including to Dilina
himself, unfortunately robbed them of their opportunity to shine in their final year of competition. Nevertheless, this allowed others to step in, notably David Augustes and Ben Nguyen, whose training ethic and spirit set a fine example to their younger peers. At younger age groups, Taran Laurence and Lachlan Evans (U17) both had impressive seasons, as did rising stars Tom Bowers (U16), Jordan Liang (U15), Hugo Akse (U15), Benny Grayson (U14) and Sebastian Beck (U13). After a successful series of races earlier in the year Sebastian broke the School Records in U13 100 m and 200 m at the AGSV finals and subsequently finished second in both 100m and 200m events to qualify for the National Schools Championships in Cairns in December. Overall, CGS finished fifth in the premiership, beaten for fourth by 0.5 pts by Ivanhoe. With strong results in the junior age group, the 2019 season looks promising.

BADMINTON
First IV Badminton Firsts Badminton has once again had a successful season in retaining the AGSV Premiership Cup. The team consisting of Otto Zhao, Benjamin Chen, Jason Tran, William Nguyen, Sam Xiao and Kelvin Hou all displayed their willingness to push their physical boundaries and determination to win. During training, the Camberwell boys were all able to help train one another and help become the best versions of ourselves, allowing us to dominate our matches and to achieve phenomenal results. Whilst the First Badminton team won the AGSV Premiership for the 17th time, it is undeniable that there were competing against schools that deserved the Premiership just as much as they did. Our most ominous opposition this year was Ivanhoe. Having played Ivanhoe three times during the season (including the finals), Ivanhoe proved to be a formidable adversary with their persistence and outstanding skills. However, on all occasions, the Camberwell team’s sporting prowess triumphed. The season would have never been as successful without the combined efforts of our coach, Nick Ong, as well as our Teacher in Charge Mr Green. At every training session, both Nick and Mr Green pushed us to our physical limits and taught us that with determination and persistence, we can surpass our selfimposed boundaries. All members of the team were extremely appreciative of their contributions and thank them for supporting us throughout the course of the season. In addition to Nick Ong and Mr Green, our team are also thankful for all the people who have supported us during the competition. Whether it was the parents, teachers or students, it was reassuring to hear much encouragement emanating from the sidelines as we played through a tough match. It is this type of support that boosted our morale and pushed us through the match, despite all odds. Although the Badminton season will start in winter instead of summer next year, there is no doubt in my mind that Camberwell will once again display their enthusiasm and determination. It’s been a consolidating experience and I look forward to the 2019 Badminton season.
Second Blue/Gold/Mitre/ Crest Badminton The Second Blue and Second Gold Badminton teams achieved highly commendable results in the 2017/18 season, finishing first and second respectively. Both teams displayed excellent prowess and demonstrated great sportsmanship throughout their matches. By the end of the season, all team members developed not only in technique and skill, but also in perseverance and tenacity. All players maintained a high level of performance under pressure, especially when playing against strong opponents. It is necessary to mention, however, that we owe a great deal of the teams’ successes to the contribution and commitment of our coach, Mr Nick Ong and the Teacher-in-Charge Mr Green. Thank you for the assistance and encouragement that made this phenomenal season possible. Richard Han Vice Captain
Third Blue/Gold/Mitre/Crest/ Bears Badminton Badminton is becoming very popular with our students. During the season, the boys trained hard and developed very good team spirit and friendship. We are always pleased to see their enthusiasm and their skills development, especially in doubles. Over the summer season, they focused on developing their appreciation of match-play tactics, understanding the basic rules, racket skills, serving tactics, working together in doubles and learning match winning strategies. It’s been a consolidating experience and they will continue to grow in the sport next season. Mr Wei Ha and Rev Charles Butler Teachers in Charge

First V Most Valuable Player Harry McLeod
Friends of Basketball Best Team Award 10C Mitre
First V Basketball Pre-round 1, after a pre-season tournament which saw CGS hold a record of one win and two losses, head coach Steve Blackley and team manager Mr Tim Cross weren’t sure on what realistic expectations were to have for the team. The season got off to a very rocky started as the team suffered a 17-point blowout loss to Assumption, after bringing the worst basketball played for the season. Round 2 added another loss to the record in a close fought six-point loss to PEGS. This game ended up being the catalyst for the start of successful basketball season. The turnaround of the season saw the team sustain wins against other tough outfits such as Peninsula, Mentone and Trinity as well as two draws against Ivanhoe and Yarra Valley. The regular season saw many brilliant team and individual performances with everyone providing highlight moments such as Cyrus Chan bringing passion to every training and fighting hard for rebounds at every possession. A veteran presence, Lachlan Cartwright proved his defensive capabilities throughout the season as he was the teams go-to lock down defender. Jo Hutchison a key wing player, stretched the floor every time. Captain Matthew Hobson set the tempo for games through hustle plays of diving on loose balls and getting in passing lanes for steals that lead to fast breaks. A newcomer Ayce Taylor provided spark every time he was on the floor through plenty of great shot blocks and athletic buckets in clutch moments. The MVP Harry McLeod provided many scoring outbursts hitting plenty of jumpers and floaters whilst also making many great reads out of pick and rolls/pops. Vinay Savur brought the competitive edge every time he stepped the floor and brought great energy to the team. The highlights of the season was most definitely Harry McLeod with a clutch three to tie the game against Ivanhoe with one second to go on the clock. The team beating Trinity in the last round by 10 points and playing in a semi-final against Marcellin for the first time. The First V Basketball team would like to thank Mr Cross and Steve Blackley for their hard work, dedication to the team and great coaching culminating in a very successful and memorable season. Matt Hobson Captain

The 2017/18 season for the Second Blue/Gold team was a highly successful one. This was due in most to the disciplined defence of Noah Marshallsay and Joel Kleiman. The sensational propensity of Richard Wotherspoon and Michael Kwan to light up the score board, from wide outside the arc in devastating short-term bursts, was a captivating feature of their games. Inside the key, Luke Hwang 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. Taking out the Best Player Award in the Second team this year was Daniel Bowers. Together with fellow big man, Ryan Walsh these two players seemed to score at will from any shooting range all season. They were well supported by Fraser Hanley and Max Inglis, who together provided the bulk of CGS’s defensive pressure. A common occurrence over the season was a steal from Max, a nifty assist from Aksel Salins and two points to Dan. The Seconds Blue team finished the 2017/18 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 wain throughout the season. Mr Nick Martin Teacher in Charge
The highlights of the season was most definitely Harry McLeod with a clutch three to tie the game against Ivanhoe with one second to go on the clock.
The Thirds Blue Basketball team enjoyed a fairly successful 2017/18 season. Due to lack of numbers, the original Year 12 team had to recruit two Year 11s to make ends meet. However, from the first game of the season it was clear that all the members of the team had the same aspirations for the season; to win games and enjoy the process of doing so. The highlight of the year was that there was no selfish mentality or demeanour, the strong and fluent teamwork proved to be a catalyst for the boys’ enjoyment of the season. The team developed chemistry and synergy from the get-go, leading to multiple victories. This positive streak, mainly continued for the rest of the season, with the boys ending the season with seven wins and two losses. Special mention must go to James Burrows, his return to the team after illness and injury was most welcome! Will Woods and Ms Ione Norris Captain and Teacher in Charge
Third Gold Basketball Thirds Gold Basketball had a great start to the season, with a close match against Assumption, where the team went on to win resoundingly. This was the trend for the entire season, the team achieving seven wins and only one loss. The enthusiasm of this team was refreshing. We had a number of away games and
the boys showed commitment, a strong team spirit and made the most of some very long bus rides! Special mentions must go to Ben Craigie and Harry Laukens for their consistent approach throughout and, of course, their skills with the ball. Looking forward to next season. Ms Ione Norris Teacher in Charge
Fourth Blue/Gold Basketball The 2017/18 basketball season was the Fourth Blue teams last, and it was certainly one of our most successful. The season started optimistically with a 20 point win against Mentone. Camberwell saw high scoring performances from Nelson Lau, Joe Chen and George Li. Yet, this season was, perhaps, our unluckiest as two games were lost by a single point and two games ended in a drawn. The highlight of the season was our last game against Trinity, where we were trailing by over 10 points at halftime, but with a resolute mindset the team persisted and with 10 seconds remaining, Nelson drilled a three-pointer to tie the game! Definitely a season to remember. Thank you to Miss Turnnidge for all her support during the memorable season, and good luck to all boys in their basketball endeavours for the future!

Our closest matches were played at 7.00am against other Camberwell C-teams, one result being a mere two-point victory. In terms of individual performance, our star shooters were Lewis Neil and Patrick Rogan and on defence, Harry Senior was a reliable source of blocks and rebounds. Throughout the season, our coach Harry provided us with great advice and exciting training sessions. Overall, it was a highly successful season for 10C Mitre. Jack Schwenk Captain

The 8A and 8B Basketball team had an interesting season with some very close wins and some even closer loses. The team played gallantly with Sam Veitch putting in a consistent effort to take out the seasons MVP. Sam Veitch and Sam Woods assisted in bringing the ball up the court and allowed the talls to get it into the paint. Michael assisted the guards with bringing the ball up the court and also hit quite a few mid-range shots. Caleb Finlayson and Jerry Lu, both played hard, taking strong rebounds and scoring big numbers. Harrison helped the bigs with rebounds and also helped with many hustle plays. His defensive presence against bigger opponents was outstanding. Benny Grayson and Pavara Jayawardena scored multiple three-pointers and were pivotal in hustle plays. A lot of the students involved in the 8A team made the all-star five throughout the season. A great effort was made and the team should be proud. Ms Katrina Massey Teacher in Charge
8C Blue/Gold Basketball Congratulations to both teams on a very successful season. All players worked extremely well together and improved in all aspects of the game as the season progressed. The team tackled each game with a high level of sportsmanship as well as a deep desire to win. 8C Blue had some impressive wins at the start of the season, but were very unlucky towards the end with some closely fought losses. 8C Gold had a roller coaster of a season with brilliant wins and some losses as well.
10C Crest Basketball The 10C Crest Basketball team started the season with a harsh loss to the other Camberwell C team 15-51, however, this reality check may have been the driving force for inspiring success throughout the rest of the year with the team finishing with more wins than losses. The season was very enjoyable for the players due to some inspiring coaching and nail-biting wins. The best game of the season was a one point win over PEGS, with a score just before the buzzer to secure the win for the boys. A heated clash between Mentone the following week also set up for a cracking game, with the CGS boys again securing a close shave win 35-31 due to tight defensive pressure and a sealing goal in the dying seconds of the game. Standout performances from Dimitri Topatsis throughout the year earned him the MVP, while Benjamin Svikis was also solid. Philip Wang was the Most Improved Player. A season well played by all the boys. Tom Nicholson Captain
9C Mitre/Crest Basketball Both teams had a strong season, learning from their losses and being rewarded with their wins. They consistently demonstrated a sense of sportsmanship and teamwork.

Our team trained with the other teams every Wednesday and improved considerably throughout the short season. By the time game day came around, we were all ready to expect a tough match from the opposition.

Brilliant ball movement was a feature of the way we played the game, as we shared the ball and were selfless in our plays.

Many thanks to those who switched seamlessly into the team and played well, bringing their own skills to each game.

First XI Cricket Although the First XI cricket team achieved modest results during the AGSV season, we were competitive in most games and improved significantly throughout the season. A major highlight was our return to playing on the Keith Anderson Oval and how well the team bonded and fought out every game. We commenced pre-season training in August, with a series of indoor training and holiday sessions as well as practice games which allowed us to be prepared for a strong start. It was clear that the boys were eager for success and this enthusiasm was well directed by Head Coach Richard Clifton. Round 1 saw us take the long trip to Assumption in freezing conditions. We lost the toss and were sent into bowl. Fortunately, we capitalised on this, taking crucial early wickets thanks to an impressive four wicket haul by Will McIlroy. During the middle overs Assumption steadied, and through some impressive batting, achieved a competitive score of 195. In reply, our innings started well with James Bickerdike and Lachie Melville achieving 50 without loss. Unfortunately, our middle order collapsed as we were bowled out for 150.
Round 2 saw the team return to the KAO for the first time and although it was great to be back on our home ground, it was a disappointing loss to the eventual premiers PEGS. The only highlight was Ray Son’s facing innings, which restored some respectability to our total. In Round 3, Camberwell came up against the reigning premiers, Peninsula. We bowled first with Tom Graves taking a crucial early wicket. Unfortunately, Peninsula’s strong batting line-up held together for an impressive 220. We did not start well as our opening batsmen fell in quick succession and the pressure increased. However, a brilliant and attacking innings by Vihaan Narayana carried us into what almost seemed like a winning position with an unbelievable 90 off 99 balls. Unfortunately, though, with our batting order falling around him, Vihaan was caught desperately close to a maiden century and with it, our innings, 30 runs short. Back at the KAO, we faced Ivanhoe in Round 4. Again, we bowled first, and their batsmen took full advantage of the small boundaries. Some tidy bowling by Ned Bennett helped us take a few wickets, as Ivanhoe made 260 after their 50 overs. Again, we started poorly, however, an impressive 60 by Vihaan was a highlight as he continued his good form. Unfortunately, the game was disrupted by rain and the points were shared. For the last game before Christmas, we came up against Mentone. We batted first and started strong as we reached 180 runs thanks to handy contributions by James Bickerdike, Sam Windisch and Jordan McCleery. Much to our disappointment, Mentone’s batting was too strong and again, we couldn’t get the results we were after. Against Marcellin at Marcellin, Camberwell’s Ray Son and Vihaan bowled well, although, we were unable to take our chances and faced 198 for victory. Unfortunately, another collapse in the middle order after a strong start with our batting, led to a significant loss. In the second last game of the season we came up against Yarra Valley. Winning the toss and electing to bat, we started well with Charlie Harper and Jordan McCleery, both hitting solid 40s, to achieve a very competitive total of 195.

For the last game of the season, we travelled to Bulleen to face Trinity. Winning the toss, we elected to bat first and got off to a good start (0/60), thanks to solid batting from Charlie Harper and James Bickerdike. Unfortunately, we could not keep up this momentum, and we were bowled out for 123. Our bowlers delivered some really tight areas, but with not much luck on the scoreboard. Trinity capitalised on the increased pressure on our bowlers and chased down the target after 30 overs. During January, the School hosted the interstate Neil Danse Cricket carnival and despite no wins to record for Camberwell, there were several outstanding individual performances including James Bickerdike’s 88 and Sam Windisch’s consistent performance throughout. All in all, the season enabled many of our young players to gain valuable experience and Year 12s, including Will McIlroy, James Bickerdike, Angus Watt, Alex Chauhan and Sam Windisch, are to be congratulated on their outstanding contributions to Cricket at Camberwell Grammar School. On behalf of the team, we would like to thank Head Coach Mr Richard Clifton for his outstanding and patient leadership, assistant coach Mr David King and Team Manager Mr Peter Robinson.

Second XI Cricket The Seconds XI Cricket team had a difficult start to the season, with three honourable losses and two beltings from Ivanhoe and Marcellin in the first five games. Struggling to bowl teams out, the boys worked hard at training to improve their bowling and fielding, and their efforts paid off when playing an undefeated Yarra Valley at Ringwood. The team bowled out on a difficult wicket for 104, the bowlers, led by Michael Dimatos, took key wickets when needed. and forced a thrilling tie against a quality opposition. We came close to defeating a strong Trinity team the following week, before celebrating the end of the season with a win over Mentone on the KAO, with Captains Ben Curnow and Ryan Campbell leading the way with the bat. A very challenging season, but we can hold our heads high in the way we applied ourselves and addressed our deficiencies. A big thank you to Rebecca Mcinnerney for running enjoyable training sessions, umpiring most of the time and bringing icy poles to sessions on hot days. Mr Andrew Beale Teacher in Charge
Third IX Cricket This season proved to be a constantly challenging, yet ultimately frustrating one, as our team strove to achieve plentiful runs, let alone a decisive win. Of the eight games played, seven were losses: some quite catastrophic, others only marginal losses. In spite of these dispiriting situations, our lads, to their credit, remained positive in their mindset and persistent in their approach, with committed batting by the likes of Ruarri Winkett, Harry Rice, and Michael Campbell. There was, however, against Marcellin, one energetically contested match that culminated in a glorious victory of 155 runs, 40 of which were provided by Angus Corr. While the season was not memorable in terms of performance, it was certainly characterised by a buoyant and optimistic attitude. Mr Sam Gough Teacher in Charge
9A Cricket The 9A Cricket team showed great improvement throughout the 2017/18 season. The team managed to secure two wins and a tie, and narrowly lost a number of close matches. Despite playing in an older age group, they remained competitive in all games and enjoyed the challenge of improving all facets of their game. The opening bowling attack of James Harker and Blake Pearson used the new ball to great effect, generating both swing and seam to trouble the opposition top order batsman. Spinners Marc Dalla Riva, Ki Herold and Gareth Cox demonstrated great flight and control of the ball in the middle overs of most innings and were able to take a number of valuable wickets. Swing bowlers Jack Summers, Julian Lowrie and Lachlan Brain continued to improve and bowled a number of handy overs. The batting order showed great discipline and patience all season and were able to bat the overs out in most games. James Harker led the way as the leading run scorer, with Rian MacLennan, Marc Dalla Riva, Blake Pearson, Alex Niarchos, Joshua Yates, Gareth Cox and Harry McColl all making valuable contributions with the bat during the season. The highlight of the season came in Round 8 playing against Trinity in a T20 fixture. After restricting Trinity to 80 runs on a slow wicket, Camberwell lost wickets at regular intervals in reply. Rian MacLennan, opening the batting, was at the non-strikers end in the last over with Camberwell requiring eight runs to win. Searching for the quick singles, MacLennan backed up too far and was dismissed in an unsportsmanlike act. Despite this setback and only two wickets in hand, Josh Yates and Harry McColl were able to keep their composure and score the winning runs with one ball to spare. Well done on a great season!

8A Cricket The 8A Cricket Team had quite a successful season, winning five games and taking out the Friends of Cricket Best Team Award. There were so many highlights throughout the season, including Josh Davidson making a 50 against PEGS (first for his career), and Lachlan Ross making a vital 44 in the last game of the season. New players into the 8As, Charles Robertson and Will Howell, had big expectations and they lived up to them, with Will being a great all-rounder, putting many runs up on the board. Charles Robertson’s bowling was also great for getting wickets whenever we needed them. The team’s bowling was superb, with opening bowlers Caleb Smith and Ben Grlj providing economical and crafty bowling all season. The surprise of the season was regular keeper, Harry Gittins’ bowling and nearly claiming a hattrick. Our team fielding was a strength, with amazing catches from Lachie and Mitch in slips and great keeping from Manny and Harry taking sharp catches. There were plenty of boundaries all season with Lachie smashing the ball and Seneth nearly getting a perfect over of boundaries as well as bowling absolute thunderbolts. The game against Marcellin was a game that could not be forgotten, with great batting and bowling a feature. Lachie and Mitch put on a great partnership, with Mitch hitting a six off his first ball, and Lachie pumping the ball to all parts of the boundary. James Allsop got the ball to sing and wickets tumbled regularly. Lachlan Ross was named the Best Player of the Season, and Will Howell snared the Coaches Award. It was a great season from the 8A Cricket team. A big thank you to Mr Conlan and Ben Lawler for being amazing coaches. Mitch Horn Year 8
8B Cricket The 8B Tennis team had an enjoyable and successful season. Some of the rounds were closely contested, with boys having to demonstrate great determination and perseverance to achieve victory. In a few of the matches, our team went down to the opposition, but our boys played competitively and remained spirited and formidable until the end. All games were played in an excellent spirit and with great sportsmanship, with the boys always conducting themselves impeccably, which was brilliant to behold. Well done to Anthony Zographos, who received the

7A Cricket Twenty-five enthusiastic and talented boys arrived at the first training session which made the job of selecting a squad of 13 boys very difficult. This set the scene for a very promising, albeit short, four-game season. Our top order of batsmen consisting of William Stamper, Thomas Newman, Thomas Lombardi, Nicholas Graves and Lachlan Harker all made valuable contributions in each game and dictated terms to the opposition from the first ball. Will Stamper mandatory retired after reaching 30 runs in all but the last game which gave confidence to the team for posting a large total. These boys were ably supported by Ben Gale with some quick run scoring at more than a run a ball. Our first line of bowlers including Harry Watson, Thomas Lombardi and Nicholas Graves immediately put the opposition’s batsmen under pressure by attacking their off stump with swing and pace. This made it incredibly difficult for any team to gain momentum through their innings. In a similar vein to our batting, Ben Gale was able to make a positive influence late in the innings by taking wickets in quick succession with his accurate medium pace bowling. Congratulations to the 7A boys for beginning their Camberwell Grammar School sporting career undefeated in the four games played. Pleasingly, they developed a close bond as a group that will hopefully last through their days at school and beyond. I would like to thank our assistant coach, Rohan Chitale (Old Boy 2016) for his valuable input and guidance he provided throughout the season. Mr David Beardsley Coach
Through the short cricket season we were able to make new friends and show improvements throughout our training sessions and on game day. Our first game for the season was against PEGS. PEGS won the toss and batted making a great score of 111. Unfortunately, in reply we were bowled out for 61. Our best contributor that day in a great all-round performance was Hayden Bourke. Our second game for the season we were determined to be more competitive against Trinity. Trinity batted first but Camberwell got off to a great start taking some important early wickets through great bowling and fielding resulting in some great run outs to see Trinity all out for 29. In response Maxwell Grant and Aj Ananthapavan opened
the batting strongly, getting the tea off to a good start. A great team performance to saw us with our first win. Our third and final game for the season was played against Mentone. Camberwell batted first with the top scorer being Joshua Blew, who was extremely pleased with his six and well supported by Robert Johnston to see us score a competitive 86 runs. In response we were able to restrict Mentone to 68. A particular highlight was Jason catching his twin brother Ryan out whilst sub-fielding for Mentone, followed by a round of high fives with the Mentone team. Overall we managed to win two of our three games of the short season and look forward to next season. Benjamin Vause Captain

Camberwell Grammar School is home to a long-standing culture of Cross Country running at AGSV. This year, in addition to veteran runners and some newcomers, the squad welcomed ex-Olympian and specialist coach Craig Mottram, and his team led by Riley Shaw, to their second year training Cross-Country here, in what would be a most fruitful season for the boys. In an unforgiving Winter season, the team battled through torrential rain, muddy slopes, perilous bush tracks and soul-crushing hail and hills. Despite these arduous conditions, the season was bolstered by the squad’s solidarity, which in turn led to promising results. In the junior division, which can only be described as a superelite group of runners from Years 7 and 8, was nothing short of a very challenging field. Nevertheless, the Camberwell runners, eager to prove their mettle, displayed relentless effort and teamwork in all races, making the squad a serious contender for

Camberwell sports a very strong intermediate cohort, led by the freakishly pacey Taran Laurence, whose hard work scored him an overall third place for the season in his division, and marking him out as Camberwell’s highlight performer this year. He was not alone, however, being backed up by the very able Jimmy Smith and the swift Michael Augustes. Patrick Rogan, Rhys Campbell and Ronan Dicker demonstrated tremendous improvement and commendable effort. In the senior race, Year 11s and 12s endured a gruelling sixkilometre course, which tested not only their physical limits, but also their mental fortitude. In addition to this, they dutifully displayed enthusiastic leadership, as demonstrated by charismatic, enigmatic Vice-Captain Nicholas Lee, whose support of all members of the team, combined with a solid performance and unquestionable effort, has been a perennial inspiration for the squad. This field is also home to exceptionally loyal team players, who have donned the gold and the double-blue since 2013. The continuous contributions of Jacob Hunting, Charles Li, Kelvin Hou, Che McGuire and Alister Wong are recognised, and are a testament to their dedication and drive; qualities which have made them outstanding runners. Unity has been the cornerstone of this squad. Running together, cheering together, racing together; we have seen a pleasing combination of talent and hard work. Such has been the nature of Camberwell’s successful Cross-Country teams in the past, and so it is this very blend that we must continue to foster. Hills have peaks, pain is temporary, but the outcome of being a member of this squad is more than just a placing you’ll forget about. It is a mindset of perseverance and resilience, which can only lead you to victory. Take your challenges head on, and never walk through life – run through it!

CYCLING
This year’s Cycling season proved to be once again a very exciting period for the Camberwell squad. We kicked off the season in the Term 3 holiday break with a training ride and meet and greet with the new team coach, Mark O’Brien. From the very beginning of the season, it was clear that the boys had retained their strength from the previous season. With more boys participating more heavily and showing extra commitment, Camberwell was looking strong to contend for the overall series. Training this season consisted of tough yet calculated sessions on Mondays and regular trips to the well-known Kew Boulevard, where the boys honed in their skills in cornering and sprinting on the bike – these skills would come into play later in racing, allowing the boys to be tactical in their races. Opening the season, the Camberwell squad tackled the Casey Fields individual time trial, which would grade them for the upcoming season. This proved to be a difficult race to master as the course was incredibly technical with many turns and crosswinds to battle. However, despite the conditions, the Camberwell squad pulled through with some incredible results, with multiple riders placing in the top ten of their events. Special mention goes out to Joel Cooray for his performance in this race. Round 2 saw the return of the much feared Teardrop Course on Kew Boulevard. The event being a criterium saw the boys needing to expertly handle their bikes through a bunch around a tight and technical course. However, thanks to many training sessions around this course beforehand the Camberwell boys made light work of the bunch with top ten finishes in almost every grade. Kudos to Zac Kelly for his third place in Senior A Grade. Round 3 was unfortunately cancelled due to an extreme weather warning. This was especially unfortunate as the squad would have done well due to their prior experience in mastering this course. Coming back from the summer holidays it was clear that many boys kept up with their training over the break, with the hill climb up Lake Mountain being the first event on the 2018 calendar.
Rolling away with an unofficial first and second in Senior A grade, these results were unable to go towards our total score, as there was a complication with the timing for the individual time trial. This was one of the squad’s better races, with some our highest placings for the entire season, however, a huge congratulations to Jonathan Seeley for his first road podium in this event. Additionally, the start of the 2018 season saw the addition of a handful of new Year 7 riders, who proved to be incredibly strong in their fields. The fifth event of the series saw the boys racing after school at Sandown Race Course in a team time trial. This was one of the hardest races for the squad as fatigue had set in after a long day at school. However, strong teamwork saw multiple Camberwell teams gracing the top ten of most grades.

Round 6 saw the return to the teardrop race circuit with another criterium. This race saw Zac Kelly shine, as a podium put him in direct striking distance for the overall Senior A Grade series win. Additionally, this race also featured a terrific barbecue lunch, which was put together by the ever supporting and kind Friends of Cycling group.
With many of Camberwell’s riders finishing the series in the top ten of their grades, it is safe to say that we had a successful season.
The final round of racing was a combined team time trial and criterium around the ever familiar, Casey Fields course. The first race of two, the team time trial, saw the Camberwell performances leap from what had been seen at Sandown with better results, thanks to more time for the teams to train together and mesh.
However, the real breakthrough performances included rides from Jonathan Seeley and James Stambe with terrific results which led to Jonathan gracing the podium for the overall series results. With many of Camberwell’s riders finishing the series in the top ten of their grades, it is safe to say that we had a successful season, even though the squad didn’t place in the top three for the overall standings. On a slightly different note, it was sad to bid Mr Woodlock farewell at the end of 2017. Having been one of the founding members of the Camberwell Cycling Squad,

The 2018 season saw a noted change in attitude within the football program, following on from the foundations set in coach Dean Laidley’s first season with the school last year. Led by an enthusiastic group of several year 12s eager to break a longstanding drought before they said goodbye to school boy footy once and for all, the team started pre-season in late 2017. With Dean ably assisted by Mr Paul Sartori and Mr Teri Miriklis, the team was able to make the most of their pre-season time, with each coach contributing to the boys’ improvements based on their speciality knowledge that they brought to the table. The rigorous pre-season led to the team coming into the season raring to go and looking to put their hard work to the test. One of the most important things acquired throughout training was the great camaraderie formed between the boys that transcended year levels. With such a great relationship formed between all the boys, it was an amazing moment to be able to celebrate a landmark win against Mentone with not only the 21 close mates in the game with you, but everyone in the squad, the coaches and all the boys that gave up their time to help out. The 2018 season was founded upon a tight-knit group that enjoyed playing and training together and supporting one another.

Intermediate B Football
Bound by the sweat of effort, by the joy of victory and the sting of a close loss, the Camberwell Grammar Second XVIII team enjoyed a magnificent season. There were some resounding wins and some games that slipped through our fingers. More telling than the results though, was our boys’ response to under-manned opposition teams that sometimes called for more than ten extra players. Mr Grigg and I never struggled to fill their team with our boys, who played the game with a sense of spirit that truly did them and the school proud. Corey Loidl was a brilliant captain throughout the year and was ably supported by Sam Garrard, who took home the Best and Fairest. Ryan Albert and Will Woods also shone throughout the year, setting an example to the team at training and on game day. But the Second XVIII team is not just about the stars – it is about the boys who come along and do pushups and sprints and then start to learn how to kick. The boys who struggle to get stronger, who embrace their opportunity to grow. I would like to thank Mr Grigg for his sage wisdom, Mr Hamilton for his invaluable assistance and to the many parents who generated such atmosphere at the ground on game day.
The Intermediate B team had a very strong season. The boys only lost one game, a top of the table clash against Yarra Valley. Losing many skilled players to the First squad and some to injury over the season, the team took these issues as a challenge, bonding closer until the team became as strong as we could have imagined. Earning Team of the Year is an indication of what was a truly successful year.

A large improvement was shown by our Ruckman, Kai Charalambous who gained the confidence to attack the ball both in the air and on the ground. He also used his athleticism around the field to play an influential role. Our Vice Captain and Best and Fairest, Lachlan Ross, was a prolific ball magnet and used his strength and skill to continually impact contests around the ground and kick goals at crucial stages in games. The midfield players of Caleb Finlayson, Sam Veitch, Harley Inglis and Charlie Chun took the game on used the ball cleanly to kick to the advantage of other team members. Up forward, James Allsop used his big body to outmuscle his opponents and kick five goals in each of the first two games before sustaining an injury at training that would keep him out for the majority of the season. Captain Ben Grlj used his voice to set up our defensive structures and positioned himself perfectly to repeatedly intercept the ball. The highlight of the season was our home game against Marcellin who were tipped to go through the season undefeated as they had amalgamated their two A teams from the previous year into one formidable side. The Camberwell Grammar boys stuck to their defensive structures and used the ball quickly and cleanly to control the game from the outset and ran away with a well-deserved 20-point win.

7A Football The 7A Football team had a really positive start to their footballing journey at Camberwell Grammar. Although starting the season with a loss at home to Assumption, the team’s continual improvement led them to win their first match for the school in Round 2 against PEGS. The biggest win for the season came in Round 3 where the team travelled to Peninsula. The leadership and on-field dominance of Co-Captains Lachlan Harker and Adam Rizzo resulted in the team taking away a 51-point win. The highlight came in the final round of the season where the team looked to secure a top four position by beating
Mentone. After a quick start kicking the first three goals of the game, Mentone rallied to take the lead in the final quarter. Full Back Nick Graves was the hero of the day kicking the winning point with minutes to spare after drifting forward following a knock to the leg. The effort earned him the most courageous award and resulted in the team finishing with a positive 5-3 record. Will Stamper and Harry Watson were a dynamic key forward combination that resulted in them being our leading goal kickers for the season. Congratulations also to the MVP Lachlan Harker and runner-up Adam Rizzo for their wonderful seasons showing a bright future for Camberwell Grammar Football. Mr Tom Owen Teacher in Charge

The Futsal Mitre team had an excellent year, finishing in fifth place.
2018 was a tough season for boys of the Futsal Crest, who despite playing hard and giving their all, had no winning matches. There were many skilful players, most notably both goal keepers. Despite the hardship, the boys remained gallant and positive in their perseverance. The camaraderie and team playing was upbeat even when the odds were against them. The culmination of this spirt was displayed in the last game which they lost by a few points. The boys remained resilient and upbeat and enjoyed the challenges attending all games and training sessions punctually.

After the shaky start in the first two weeks (losing to both the Trinity top team and the eventual premiership team, CGS Gold), the team went from strength to strength and felt that we could have been a real contender for the Grand Final if we had just made the final tour. Michael Kwan played consistently well every game, scoring goals for the team and setting up great passes for teammates, providing many avenues for goal. Additionally, Nicholas Tran was also a rock in defense, preventing many goals this year. Darcy Eccles was solid in goalkeeping and his athleticism was pivotal to the team structure and success. Byron Wu, the predator, also had a good season this year with a magnificent hat-trick in the last game of the season. Linus Cheung, Colin Chen, Sepehr Tahmasebi and Jonathan Chen played really well in both defense and offense. Although our team fell short from making the finals, the entire team had great chemistry off and on the court that led to some great wins; most notably the win over the first placed team on the futsal ladder in the last game of the Round Robin. Our Coach Mr Cody gave us great advice on how to improve and become better players. By emanating his positive energy during our games, it motivated the boys to try harder and play better. But most importantly, the team atmosphere in each game we played was overwhelming and made it enjoyable for me and the other boys too.

Training twice a week, all nine members of the squad undoubtedly benefited from and thoroughly enjoyed being coached by Michael Light, a professional at Kew Golf Club. His coaching, along with the efforts and determination from the golfers, saw visible improvements to their swings and overall golf game. Although the ability levels of the squad differed, each player was able to make improvements to their own golf game as an individual and a team. The golf squad played 18 holes at Kew Golf Club, mostly on Sundays throughout the season, which
204 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
allowed players to implement coaching points directly from training to their game, as well as give younger members of the squad the opportunity to regularly play 18 holes of golf. For three members of the Golf squad, the season culminated in the annual AGSV/APS/ BAS Golf Competition at the Spring Valley Golf Club. In great weather conditions, Andrew Zhang (Year 12), Peter Lathouras (Year 11) and Jasper Guthrie (Year 11) enjoyed the opportunity to play in competitive golf and represent the School. The day was undoubtedly a highlight of the season for those who competed. Well done to Andrew Zhang, who played very well on the day and earned himself the title of Camberwell Grammar School Golf Champion. The 2017/2018 summer golf season was one which was successful on many levels. All players will definitely be looking forward to getting back to the course in Term 4, 2018. Jasper Guthrie Captain
Alex Chauhan also had a phenomenal year, scoring both goals in the semi-final to allow the team to take part in the grand final.

This was an amazing season by the Camberwell Grammar First XI Hockey team, recovering from the disappointing loss in the semifinal last year to go undefeated and finish the season with the AGSV premiership. Throughout the season the entire team stepped up to ensure that each member contributed to the success of the team. The young leaders of the group came to the fore throughout the year, with members such as Charlie Harper, Nick Gooden and James Sampson being named as part of the AGSV team. Alex Chauhan also had a phenomenal year, scoring both goals in the semi-final to allow the team to take part in the grand final. The entire team worked incredibly hard and it was because of this, as well as the efforts of Mr Watson, Doc Morey-Nase and Mr Webster that the team achieved what it did.

The Second Hockey team had a very successful season, although the AGS competition has now shrunk to just four schools: Camberwell, Trinity, PEGS and Yarra Valley. CGS improved steadily over the season and was able to beat all but Trinity, finishing second on the ladder. The driver of the team’s success was Peter Thorn, who played at centre-half or sweeper and was the key to many winning plays. A strong defence, led by Josh Marino in goal and David Bennie and Harrison McEwen, maintained a solid wall while the half line, with Liam Brady and Grant Lu feeding the very hungry forwards. Peter Thorn was named the player of the season.

Third Blue Hockey The 2018 season for the Third Blue Hockey team began impressively with a satisfying win over Assumption. Unfortunately, the other schools in the AGSV proved too difficult to conquer, and the remaining games were lost by us, sometimes by a small margin, other times by a considerable one. Furthermore, due to an inadequate number of players in our team, the field was not ideally manned or defended. In spite of these problems, our lads remained undaunted and optimistic in their outlook. They are to be commended for playing the game as capable as they did, particularly under such trying circumstances. Mr Sam Gough Teacher in Charge
Third Gold Hockey The season started out quite strongly for the Third Gold Hockey team who, after many years of playing on the same team as one another, were able to easily win their first four matches. Unfortunately, the match against Assumption College in Round 5 proved to be more of a challenge with the opposition scoring a goal against Camberwell in the last five minutes of the match, resulting in a draw. Despite the remainder of the season being a mix of both wins and losses, the team still managed to end up on the top of the AGSV ladder; an impressive achievement! A special mention to Anthony Stewart, the unofficial captain of the team as well as the recipient of the Most Valuable Player award. Ms Miranda McDonald Teacher in Charge
10A Hockey The 10A Hockey team enjoyed a highly successful season. Expertly coached by past CGS student Angus Robinson, the side played in a tough and skillful manner to win nearly all games played. In his first season as goalie Ned Bennett proved difficult to pass in defence where he was well assisted by Tom Ireland, Kieran McAuley and Aleksandar Rupar. James Thorn, Matthew Lewison and Best and Fairest winner William Murray controlled the play in the middle of the field while the enigmatic forward pair of Chris Golz and Dylan Kitchener supplied the team with ample goals during the season. Best of luck to all team members as they progress to the school’s First and Second squads next year. Mr Matthew Christopher Teacher in Charge
9A Hockey Following two years of never experiencing defeat as the 7A and then 8A Hockey Team, this year the boys were up against players a year older than them as they joined the Intermediate Competition.
206 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Nevertheless, 9A Gold rose admirably to the occasion, only losing two matches for the season and ending up third on the season ladder, just pipped by Camberwell’s 10A Blue team. They played with a great sense of camaraderie and skill, urged on by Coach and First 11’s Old Boy Tim Edney, and the entire season saw some excellent improvement on the field from the entire squad. Most Valuable Player went to Rian MacLennan, but congratulations should go to all team members; Ilian Aendenroomer, Connor Assauw (Goals) Jordan Bosco, Luke Doblin, Ki Herold, Alex Lew, Cameron Lim, Sam Parmenter, Nicholas Robinson, Riley Smith and Rilee Younger.

9/10B Gold Hockey The 2018 Hockey season was a successful season indeed, with the 9/10 Gold Hockey team only being beaten on one occasion. By employing bulldog tenacity and solid teamwork, the team were rewarded with first ranking in their division. Overall, players managed to improve on a solid basis of skills gained from their previous years of hockey experiences, and this improvement was fundamental in turning the tide in Camberwell’s favour on a number of occasions. Congratulations go to Samuel Qi, whose tireless efforts in the centre halfback position created many forward opportunities and saw him awarded Most Valuable Player. It is hoped that all players will continue to maintain this level of improvement as they progress through their Senior School years. Sonny Wang
9/10B Blue Hockey The hockey season for the Year 9/10 B Blue team this year was rocky, with the team coming close to winning but just not close enough with the exception of a two-point win in the second last game and a draw in the final game of the season. These performances would not have been possible without our goalkeeper Christopher Miller and star members of our defence such as Evan Giasoumi, Joshua Lam and Ben Ridley and, of course, our attacker’s Jackson Li and James Growse. In our last two games, we also had some help from Ki Herold from the A team. It was a successful season with lots of improvement from everyone in the team. Eva Giasoumi

8A Hockey
7/8B Hockey
The 8A Hockey team started the season with a bang. Although this year we had some of our key players move up to the First team we still managed to strive throughout the season and continue to be undefeated. Although these key players were in the First team they still played some games with the 8A team and we used their leadership to lead us to victory.
This winter, the 7/8B Hockey team had an exceptional season winning almost all our games. Despite the cold weather that often tried to scare us, we were able to pull through and give our best. Star players were Billy Swingler, Cooper Lewis and Kevin Wang. We also cannot forget Joel Cooray the underdog who was able to tap in many goals. Special thanks to Ethan (training coach) and Ms Wang (team manager) for the support and encouragement.
Thanks to our great goalie Chris Wilson-Brown we only conceded one goal throughout the whole season. Chris was also assisted by our great fullbacks William Phillips, Lachie McInnes and Julian Taft and our great halves Ethan Aw, William Howell and Liam Corr. Our ability to score so many goals in every game was thanks to the movement in our midfield from our inners Michael Hare, Nicholaas Bray, Harry Trundle and Darcy Norman. But all of these goals would not have been possible without our wings Ben Bosmans and Raf Bird, and our centre-forwards Hamish Campbell-Cowen and Manhar Singh. Finally, this great season wouldn’t have been possible without our great coach Mark Tikotin, manager Mr Da Costa and all of the parents for driving and cheering us at every game.

7A Hockey
SPORT
If one were to measure success merely in terms of wins and losses the 7A Hockey team finished on the wrong side of the ledger with only two wins from its seven matches - both against Ivanhoe Grammar. The latter of which was in the final match of the season by the convincing margin of four goals to nil on a Friday night under lights at Koonung SC. But success at this level is also measured in terms of enjoyment, skill development, game understanding and teamwork, and on all of these measures, the squad was undoubtedly successful. From quite a low base in terms of hockey experience, under the keen eye of their Old Boy coach Rohan Chitale, the boys developed into a cohesive unit who passed the ball with increasing certainty, used the width of the ground to full advantage and both created and converted more of their goal-scoring opportunities in the second half of the season. The spontaneity with which the boys burst into song after their victory in the last game was clear evidence that they had enjoyed their season of hockey, and will no doubt reach keenly for their stick, shin pads and mouth guards in 2019.

KAYAKING
The Camberwell Grammar Kayaking Squad had a very busy and enjoyable 2017/2018 season.
The Camberwell Grammar Kayaking Squad had a very busy and enjoyable 2017/2018 season, with a total of 36 paddlers competing in both inter-school and state events throughout Term 4 and Term 1. This season, we welcomed nine new Year 7 students to our squad who made an excellent start to Kayaking. Our very first event of the season was the Bendigo Cup held in Term 4, a ten-kilometre event undertaken at Bridgewater on Loddon. Standout performances in the event included Rhys Campbell (Year 10) and Jacob Hunting (Year 12) who came in at second place in the ten-kilometre Boys Under 18 TK2 race and Maxwell Boyle (Year 8) and David Thomas (Year 8) who came in at first place in the ten-kilometre Boys Under 14 TK2 race. In mid-November, the squad participated in the second inter-school Paddle to the City event, collaborating with Methodist Ladies’ College and Trinity Grammar. This was a very enjoyable event for all involved and we look forward to continuing this tradition later this year and continuing our collaboration with other kayaking schools. In December, our squad participated in the annual Ben Ward 40 Miler, our biggest event of the year. This event is held in Cobram on the Murray River. Being the biggest event of the year for our squad, every boy was put through his paces under trying conditions. Congratulations to all boys involved in this event and a big thank you must go out to all parents who helped out with the organisation of this event.
There were two major events in Term 1, 2018. The Victorian Schools Canoe Championships were held in March, which saw the paddlers compete against the best paddlers from Trinity Grammar and Yarra Valley Grammar, alongside other schools, in gale-force winds at Nagambie. The final event on the kayaking calendar was the Victorian Canoe Marathon Championships, held in Geelong on Saturday 21 April. The squad had a great day of racing at Geelong, with excellent paddling conditions. Exceptional efforts on the day included Declan Woolf (Year 11) and Andrew Zeng (Year 11) taking out State Championships in the 15km Under 16 Mens TK2 category and Campbell Rowland (Year 8) and Jonathan Pettolino (Year 8) coming in at second place in the 12km Under 14 Mens TK2 race. A special mention goes out to Captain Jacob Hunting (Year 12), as well as Robert Kneirieman (Year 11) and James Sampson (Year 11), who all stepped up to paddle 23km in K1, the toughest race of the year. Our Teacher in Charge, Ms Papaioannou alongside Ms Massey, provided much support and guidance throughout the season and must be thanked for their ongoing commitment to Kayaking. The help of the Friends of Kayaking, led by President Mr John Campbell, has been invaluable 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, the paddlers deserve congratulations for their performance throughout the season. Jacob Hunting Captain

Coach’s Encouragement Award William Cook
The Lawn Bowls squad enjoyed a highly successful season, despite a rocky start. In the annual Ivanhoe Cup tournament, the skill of new recruits Matthew Cook and Nikila Jayasuriya was unfortunately not enough to overcome Ivanhoe’s edge, with the final result coming down to a hard fought last end, with only a handful of shots separating the sides. This year’s tournament held on home turf is likely to see a spectacular rematch with Camberwell the favourites to reclaim the lost title. The school tournament was begun in earnest and even a nailbiting defeat to Assumption A did little to unnerve the steadiness of Team A. A fresh team of triples featured William Cook as Lead, for whom short ends were a specialty, Elijah Pannozzo as Second, whose drawing shots rarely missed their mark, and Captain Ben Chesler returning as Skipper. This young team pumped out several outsized victories against stiff opposition, with doubledigit leads against such fierce rivals as Trinity and even previously dominant Ivanhoe. Even Team B managed several key successes, despite having over 60% less players than their opponents.
The AGSV finals were marked by an initial victory against Assumption B, followed by a tense game against Assumption A, but ultimately falling short in the final end. Overall, Team A finished second in the whole division, and played at the March Madness Schools Championship against APS, assisting in an overall AGSV victory. A debt of gratitude is owed to our teacher and mentor, Mr Cody, as well as MCC Kew for use of their facilities. I encourage all students to pick up bowls, even for just a season, and join the fast-paced, mentally challenging sport with a supportive, fun-loving squad. Benjamin Chesler Captain

AWARDS Phil Hutton Orienteering Encouragement Award Nicholas Lee The Orienteering squad had another great season this year, with many awards for older runners, as well as strong performances from younger runners that bode well for the future of the squad. Camberwell’s chances for the season seemed very positive early on, edging out Scotch by only a few points during the first week, a remarkable effort given Scotch’s squad is much bigger than our own. Unfortunately, this could not be maintained in the following two weeks due to our strong Year 7 and 8 contingent being on various camps. At the fourth and final competition, not even the convincing victory obtained by Camberwell was enough to win the competition overall and return the trophy to Camberwell’s cabinet. Despite this, the boys must be commended for coming out on top at two out of the four competitions, despite our significant numbers disadvantage. Members of the squad put in a great effort this season, consistently attending trainings on hot Monday afternoons and sacrificing their sleep-ins to attend early morning Thursday trainings (which were not particularly appealing after

I can say with certainty that the season was enjoyed by all, and those not in Year 12 are looking forward to being joined by a new group of Year 7s for the next season. There were many individual results of note throughout the season. Vice-Captain Charles Li (Year 12) worked hard and secured third place in the ten-kilometre A-grade event as well as receiving Full Colours for his final year in the sport. Star Cross Country runner and Triathlete Nicholas Liew (Year 12) competed as a second-sport, and finished second overall in the A-grade event – a remarkable effort for his first time trying the sport. Captain Matthew Kautsky (Year 12) finished first in the A-grade event and received Full Colours. A special mention goes to Nick Lee (Year 12), who not only finished first in the B-grade event and received Full Colours, but is also the recipient of Philip Hutton Award, recognising his outstanding contribution to the sport throughout the years. Best of luck to the boys competing in future seasons, may they be as fruitful as this year’s season. Matthew Kautsky Captain

In late August, 34 competitors from all levels of the school represented CGS at the Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships at Mt Buller. The team was lucky enough to enjoy the best conditions seen on the mountain in many years. Overall the school placed 8th of the boys schools that entered, which includes the APS, AGSV and Catholic boys schools, which is a great achievement. Our team performed well, a result of the preparation put in by all members during the training sessions here at school and also during the on-snow coaching events. There were excellent results recorded across all divisions and disciplines, however, a couple standout as particularly notable given the very high standard of competition for podium positions.
Senior School A team of 15 students representing the senior school consisting of Dan Rappel (Captain) Ethan Hausler (Vice Captain) Luc Raszewski, Ben Finney, Jacky Li, Justin Qiu, Akesel Salins, Declan Woolf, Aidan Oh, Matthew Power, Eric Shishkin, Ben Svikis, Ned Anderson, Harry Hough and Justin Le competed in the last half of the week and were able to gain some pleasing results. In the flagship Divison 1 Alpine event, the combined results saw the team of Luc Raszewski, Aksel Salins, Ethan Hausler and Declan Woolf place 11th. Luc Raszewski and Aksel Salins were split by .12 of second over two runs to gain 45th and 47th individual places respectively. Declan Woolf, the cross-discipline specialist claimed 57th. On the snowboard, he placed 28thin Giant Slalom event. Ben Svikis claimed 48th position in the Moguls event. In the Skier Cross team event, Daniel Rappel, Jacky Li and Ethan Hausler place 33rd.
Middle School A team of 14 students from the Middle School – James Backwell, Sebastian Beck, Arya Aminazad, Henry Baker, Logan Taplin, Alec McDougall, Steven Lu, Aidan Chen, Harry Gittins, Campbell Rowland, Fletch Von Arx, Luke O’Brien and Michael Wang, competed during the middle of the week in disciplines ranging from Moguls to Snowboard Cross. Arya Aminazad qualified fourth for the final and placed third overall in the Skier Cross event. He improved upon his time in the second run and climbed the rankings in the final, to third place. Less than a second separated the top performers. Arya also achieved 4th place in the Division 3 Alpine (Giant Slalom) event, his two runs were consistent - only a second apart. There were over 200 competitors in each event. The combined time results for the Division 3 Alpine Team event saw the CGS A-team place 19th out of 42 teams. The team consisted of: Arya Aminazad, James Blackwell, Sebastian Beck and Henry Baker. The Skier Cross Team A placed 11th out of 76 teams and the B team, consisting of Logan Taplin, Alec McDougall and Henry Baker placed 47th. Michael Wang competed in the Snowbaord Giant Slalom event and placed 46th.
Junior School Samuel Li was the sole representative from the Junior School after some late cancellations and he competed in three disciplines – Moguls, Alpine and Skier Cross. Samuel placed 17th in a field of over 150 for the Alpine event. In the Skier Cross event, he made the final and finished 16th overall, just missing selection for Nationals. He was able to win selection for the Nationals event in the Moguls discipline. An excellent effort by the whole team. Thank you to the families of participants for showing a commitment to representing the school and in particular to the Friends of Snowsport committee for their contribution to this event. Best of luck to our Nationals representatives this week at Perisher. Mr Ian March Teacher in Charge

First XI Soccer To sum up the 2018 First XI Soccer season in one word, it would have to be ‘tumultuous’. It saw the beginning of Davide Bertamini’s role as head coach as trials begun all the way back in Term 1. As the season started, an own goal in the first round to tie the game 1-1, and a few losses to top teams following that, painted a particularly grim image for what the season was shaping up to be. It wasn’t until our game against Mentone where we were able to break out and begin playing the football we wanted to. Without a doubt, the highlight of the year was the Ivanhoe Grammar game, a dead rubber in the final round, but the team showed a lot of a grit and determination despite being one-nil down at halftime, and with minutes to go were able to get up with a 2-1 victory. It highlighted the character of the players within the team; to keep going no matter the circumstance. It is difficult to write this piece, leaving the footballing program after three years without having the chance to play finals. We’ve had talented players come and go, we’ve been blessed with good coaches but nothing has clicked so far. Without a doubt however, this year was the first that the team came first, and things we put into practice came out on the pitch. I won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of the labours of my years, but as I see the talent we have remaining in the Firsts for next year, and the many boys having good results in the younger years, I know Camberwell Grammar is in good stead for the future. A few thanks are in order for the year, firstly want to thank Friends of Soccer for their tireless efforts off the field, especially at the Awards Night. To the parents, particularly the parents of the Firsts, we have the best spread in the league and that is thanks to your work and organisation. Of course, also for driving us to train at the crack of dawn twice a week and supporting us on a Friday night or Saturday morning. To our coach Davide, his hard work has benefitted the entire team and his knowledge in the game will help take this team to the next level for years to come. Of course, team manager extraordinaire Dr Khor, we’ve loved your passion over the years and your organisation has ensured we get to games on time and we are always up to date with our training program. Lastly and on a more personal note; I want to thank the boys for an incredible year in this team. As a captain, you made my job easy with your on-field performance and hard work on the training track. Jack Fitzgerald Captain 214 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018

Second Soccer The 2018 season began with losses to the teams that would end up finishing in the top three. Our structure was lacking as was our ability to create chances. However, as the season progressed, the team became familiar with one another and improved in all areas. Our first win was a closely-fought win against Ivanhoe. This result boosted our confidence and the team went into all remaining matches with a positive approach. A close loss (3-2) to Assumption, who had beaten us 4-0 in the first game, displayed many positives. This was followed with a 5-2 win against Yarra Valley and a historic away win at PEGS, who were the eventual premiers and only lost one game in the entire season to us! PEGS only conceded four goals throughout the season, all to us! A 2-2 draw at Trinity was followed by another hard-fought win in our final match against Mentone.

Third Blue Soccer The Third Blue Soccer team displayed an exceptional team spirit in what was a difficult year on the scoreboard. The team’s most memorable performance was their three-all draw, playing away at Mentone Grammar. A game in which Cian MacLennan returned to near perfect form as a striker menacing the opposition goal countless times and netting an unforgettable hat-trick. Most notably on that day, however, was the midfield domination by Leon Young.

Third Gold Soccer This season was marked by what could have been. After winning two of our first three games the season became a increasing struggle against the opposition. Though in each game we played valiantly to produce many good plays and our defence was generally strong under pressure. Andrew Wu played a particularly confident role as our goal-keeper and our defence line consisting of Nick Tay, Captain Dan Tran, Austin Tu, Colin Wang and Marcus Wong along with Best and Fairest Shashank Rathor withstood many an opposition attack. In the midfield, many creative plays were constructed by David Tan, Jo Hutchinson, William Taranto, Rashay Kotecha and Harrison Powell. Often dangerous in the offence were our regular strikers Anthony Alateras and Carson Hui. Training sessions were generally played with enthusiasm and most of our halves during Saturday competition were pleasing. We ended up with two wins and a draw from eight matches.
The best player for the season was Ethan Liu who scored the majority of the team’s goals with his devastating ‘Messi-like’ drives into the opposition box. Ethan was ably supported by the rugged and ultra-consistent backman, Mann Lai. The greatest improver over the season was David Zhou, whose efforts in Dr Murray Anderson neutralising the oppositions right midfielder in all of the final four Teacher in Charge games was a performance to behold.

Third Mitre Soccer
Fourth Gold Soccer
The season for the Third Mitre Soccer team was one that was played out in a sportsmanlike, yet highly competitive manner. There were wins and near losses with ‘thumpings’ as the colloquialism as it, being far and few between. Through all of this, the boys were eager and co-operative, attended training with a degree of alacrity, despite three changes of a coach. Their maturity in dealing with this was impressive and they took to the field having learned the valuable lesson of dealing with such a disruption. Ably lead by Domenic Di Censo, and supported by impressive striking in the athletic exploits of Jamie Steverlynck, Cameron Martin and Lachlan Brown, others contributed with enthusiasm. These boys should be mentioned and thanked: Christopher Kyriakos, Conrad Baker and Joseph Lai. Thank you to all of the boys from your supervising teacher for making the season an enjoyable one.
The Fourth Gold Soccer team lost most of their games over the course of the 2018 season, winning only one and drawing one. However, who could forget the wonderful moments of team bonding that transpired, from our odyssey outing to distant Assumption College on a crisp early autumn morning, where Tommy Wong first proved his mettle in goals after Raymond Xiang succumbed to the relentless shots of a merciless opposition striker, to the match at Bulleen where a Trinity parent insisted on joining in the match momentarily so that he could avenge himself on his own son and his teammates. Strange and wonderful times they were, with Andrew Chew commanding the defence, consisting of Sam Nania, Jai Singh, and Alex Shen; gratified Blue team transfer Joshua Choong, the indefatigable Harry Tang, Todd Tao and towering Coulston Waycott, speedy Steven Xiao and Tony Zhang prowling the midfield; and finally, skilful Nathan Feng and dynamic nugget of energy Wayne Wu driving the ball down the field at the striker position. Bravo to a fantastic bunch of boys who left their best on the field; and we can still dream of how good we might have been had the marvellous William Yang not been wooed away by basketball! Thanks, boys.
Mr Vincenzo Piscioneri Teacher in Charge
Fourth Blue Soccer The Fourth Blue Soccer team saw a fantastic season filled with improvement and development in both its strategy and players. The games we played were always intense. Our rivals would win some, we would almost win others. Regardless of scores, wins and losses, the improvement that the team saw was unfathomable. We saw brilliant performances from Lucas Liu, who was able to consistently find the back of the net, Ziggy Englander for being able to save some insane goals and to Jack McColl for being the all-round man, from back to front you could always find him when he was required. Overall, our team’s season was incredibly valuable for all of its players and everyone in our team was able to see some sort of growth. I am very proud of everyone’s performance. Lachlan McClure

Intermediate C Blue Soccer
The Intermediate A team finished the season with three victories, one draw and three losses from their AGSV fixtures. The losses came against PEGS (twice) and Marcelin who are always tough opponents. Lachlan Waycott and George Kocalidis contributed many goals and assists throughout the season, supported by Patrick Osborne and, before his injury, Mason Pearson. In defence, Blake Pearson and Lewis Winkett formed a formidable partnership in the centre ably supported by Matthew Wu and Deylan Razmara at fullback. Several of these players will be in contention for a place in the First XI next year. 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.
With a final tally of three wins, one draw and four losses for the season it is apt to note that the team’s performance did fluctuate somewhat according to conditions and absences. When they were at their best they could produce a nicely flowing game with passes between defenders and mid-field often paying off in attacks on goal by the awaiting strikers.
Mr Mark Mews Teacher in Charge
Personal successes abounded in the team but special mention should be made of Jordan Liang, James Tsolakis, Andrew Graham, Anthony Cao, Callum Graham and Nicholas Wade not for reasons relating to any particular instance of skill but because each of these players exhibited the drive and determination necessary in a field sport such as soccer. 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.

The Intermediate B Soccer team had a fantastic season this year with seven wins, one loss and one draw. The team was strong, with enthusiastic players willing to put in the time and effort to hone their skills and abilities. All the players demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and represented CGS with pride. With so many skilled players this season, it was difficult to determine the best players, however, Daniel Iacobucci received the Coache’s Award, having demonstrated excellent leadership skills and commitment to the team, while Nima Asgari was consistently hardworking and passionate, walking away with the Best and Fairest award. Well done to all the players for a fantastic season. Miss Rachel Wu Teacher in Charge
Intermediate C Gold Soccer It was a very successful season for the members of the Intermediate C Gold Soccer team. Keen to build upon last year, the team were eager to consolidate their consistency during matches. A clear determination was evident at training, as the boys worked well together to implement the different match-game simulations designed by their coach Jordan. This helped to target areas for additional improvement as they were transferred effectively into matches. Often the team came up against opposition who were a year older. However, they remained unperturbed by this and stuck to the game plans. All members played to the position they were assigned and provided terrific support to each other. The success was evident from the first match with an impressive victory against PEGs. Each week, the boys gained further confidence and self-belief. At the end of the season, they had encountered just one narrow defeat. Congratulations to the season award winners; Alexander Greenaway, Best and Fairest; and, Eric Tang, Coaches Award.

If the means of determining whether a sporting season has been successful or not rests on the number of victories achieved, the Intermediate C Mitre team should be proud of the six victories, draw and two losses for the season. In fact, the two losses were to two Camberwell teams, where the mid-week fixtures seemed to reduce the application and intent compared to the Saturday matches. There were a gob-smacking 45 goals netted for the season, with Kai-Si Tan and Ethan Tang scoring the majority. Both of them scored hat tricks before halftime in the first match against PEGS – certainly a sign of things to come! Other goal scorers over the competition included David Maes, Lucas Thermos, Joshua Soo, Sam Kabourakis and Philip Alex. The regular spiritual leaders on the pitch in terms of endeavour were David Maes, Max Whittle, Phillip Corso and Harvey Xiao – often placing their bodies on the line in a contest. Congratulations to all of the team on not only a successful season but a most enjoyable one.
Boys of the Intermediate D Gold Soccer team played each round with great determination and outstanding sportsmanship. Most of the games were very closely contested. Despite this, the team recorded a number of inspiring wins due to their perseverance and admirable spirit. It was also very encouraging to see the skilful teamwork boys displayed, which continued to improve throughout the season in a very impressive manner. The game against Yarra Valley was particularly close; nevertheless, a well-deserved win was recorded. Congratulations go to Brandon Petherbridge who obtained the Best and Fairest Player Award. A big thank you also goes out to each member of the team for making the season so very rewarding and enjoyable.

Intermediate C Crest Soccer It was a great experience taking the Intermediate C Crest soccer team. The boys played very well. It was a fantastic team that demonstrated good commitment and team spirit. The boys trained very hard and some parents came to cheer us up on Saturdays. We enjoyed Hanna Youssef’s hat tricks as well as other players’ excellent skills, such as Christian Ling and Lachlan Evans. Although we lost, I felt very proud of our boys.

Intermediate D Blue Soccer The Intermediate D Blue Soccer team experienced reasonable success during the 2018 winter season. Over 9 rounds, Camberwell won four matches, lost four matches and drew one match. Some results were very close, with games narrowly won or lost in the closing minutes; other results saw scores blow out due either to our dominance or capitulation. While scores and results were not always consistent, the determined effort, positive attitude and good sportsmanship of our team was something to be proud of. Handshakes with opposing players and cheers for the referee at the end of each match were always willingly offered, no matter the score. Early morning winter training sessions are not often looked forward to, so I commend all our players for their consistent attendance and keen participation during training. We are grateful to the coaching staff for their expertise, training program and encouragement during the season and I thank all players for their effort over the season. Special mentions to Thomas Cox for his captaincy and fearless goal-keeping, Daniel Debowski - our Best and Fairest player, and to Will Wallis who received the Encouragement Award. Finally, a big thank you to our loyal parents who braved the early morning weather to cheer our boys from the sidelines. Mr Simon Barry Teacher in Charge

Intermediate D Mitre Soccer An outstanding season for the Intermediate D Mitre team, as there was only one loss and one draw. The team was only a couple of goals short of winning the Friends of Soccer top team. The students showed great tenacity and eagerness to perform their best. The team rose to the various challenges and developed a strong defence and a fast midfield that continually channelled the ball to the strikers. Many players showed their sheer strength of purpose to score goals and maintain our low score of goals against the team. The whole team should be proud of their incredible season and continue, next season, with their usual forcefulness and determination. Mrs Helen Papageorgiou Teacher in Charge
8A Soccer The 8A Soccer team had a slow start to the season with some small lapses in concentration proving costly against quality teams. A big win against Peninsula mid-season was the catalyst for a turnaround in fortunes and helped to finish the season playing some incredible soccer. This was highlighted by a 2-0 win against Marcellin, followed by a 5-3 victory over Ivanhoe in the final round. Ethan Ensor was the standout player this season with some classy finishes and always giving his best. He was well supported by Kai Sapolu and the captain Hayden Newman who scored a hattrick in the final game. Mr Craig Conlan Teacher in Charge

8C Blue Soccer
The 8B Soccer team quickly gelled into an effective squad with Nick, once again the team coach, building on the constructive relationship already established with the boys to try out some new formations that stretched and challenged the team throughout the season.
The 8C Blue team had a good run this season with Aden Godfrey, Harry Gittins, Zachary Kyriakos and Jamie Kohlmann joining the team. For the first few games we managed to hold on from last year, being undefeated, but the next few matches proved to test us as a team. During the term, many of our players sustained injuries on and off the field but still turned up to support the team. Luckily James Tomaras and Vedant Agarwal came back from long-term injuries to join us on the field for the last part of the season. The highlight of the season was definitely our last match. We were all teeming with pride and spirit (and let Richard Yang who had been standing in goals all term do a goalie run!).
Joe, Lucas, Anthony, Hugo, Kayson and Alex were all reliable goal scorers with Yanning again proving a highly efficient goalkeeper. Charles, Nicholas and David were always fast and tenacious in their pursuit of the ball and James E, Cody, Pavara, Richard, Daniel and James B provided solid midfield and defence support. The boys were generally well matched and played some closely contested games whilst consistently demonstrating the values of fair play and good sportsmanship. Mr Jason Hall Teacher in Charge
Thanks, to Issei Hakuta, Jamie Kohlmann and Vedant Agarwal for constantly having to switch for right-back, to Aden Godfrey and Colin Jiang for stepping up to goal keep when we were short of one and to Hamish Collet for volunteering to play for the 8C Gold team when they were short a few players. A special thanks to Ms Norris and Coach Tom for guiding us through the season and finally to all the parents who braved all those cold mornings. Mathieu Ly

The season started very slowly with some heavy defeats. Enthusiasm levels and confidence was extremely low. However, the team continued to work hard on their focus and apply this during their training sessions with Coach Chris. Gradual improvement by all players was noted each week with improved communication demonstrated on the field.
Although the 7B team did not win many games this season, they played with exceptional determination and commitment throughout the campaign. Out of the nine matches played, Camberwell faced difficult opponents in Marcellin on three occasions but showed that they had grown in skill and tactical knowledge when facing them on the last game of the season.
The second last game against Trinity was a hard-fought draw. It felt like a win to the team and this saw them finally building in confidence. The last match against Peninsula saw our team finally put it all together and come away with an impressive victory. What a fantastic way to end the season! On behalf of the team I would like to thank our coach Chris Kerdemelidis who did an amazing job and to the parents who came and supported the team.
The season also saw an exciting draw with PEGs at 4-4 after Camberwell had been ahead 3-1, and a strong 2-0 victory against Yarra Valley. But the pick of games was an excellent victory against Ivanhoe. Rhys Lee’s persistence paid off to bring the Blue’s first goal and Cameron Haw’s tenacity also resulted in another fine goal. With just minutes left on the clock, Oscar Smith looped an unreachable chip to seal the game for Camberwell. It marked a well-deserved victory for a team that played with an exemplary level of sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout the season.

Despite losing almost all our matches, we had a fun time together and enjoyed waking up early to go to a soccer match. Other than the loses we had, we managed to pull off a draw against Yarra Valley and no wins sadly. Overall, we had a fun and happy season altogether and cannot wait till next season. Alex Dai

SQUASH
The 2017/2018 Squash teams provided a memorable summer sport season. The two seasons displayed the best and worst of the squad, with the rise and development of individuals in their performance in the sport and some hard-fought matches played. The First Squad faced many challenges in the season, most being associated with rivals Trinity Grammar and Marcellin College. The Year 12 First players performed with great enthusiasm, and an even win-loss ratio, but the considerable skill, endurance, and success of younger teammates Nicholas Gooden (Year 11) and Daniel Spencer (Year 11) is suggestive of a future formidable First team. Due to their outstanding performance in Term 4, the Second Squad were elevated to Division 2 in February, facing tougher opponents than they had previously. Arman Cakmakcioglu (Year 10), Kai Sapolu (Year 8), and Jake Ford (Year 8) all played excellently, and Captain Arman displayed great leadership and tenacity, as he led the team effectively throughout the season. The Thirds was an interesting team to observe this season. Thirds Captain Paco Tse (Year 11) played consistently and with a powerful determination to lead his team in a tight season. Once again Trinity proved their most difficult opponent, but individual and doubles victories were frequent and well deserved.
Players in the 4ths, 5ths, and 6ths squads exhibited their joy in the sport of squash, displaying excellent teamwork during competitions and fun during training sessions. While wins may have been rare for some players, it is worth noting the excellent sportsmanship, pride in their performance and camaraderie with their teammates. Special thanks to professional coach Phillip Howe for his commitment to the whole squash team, always encouraging individuals to display their full potential. He has been an excellent coach over the years, and I’m sure he’ll continue to push the Camberwell Squash teams to improve. In addition, many thanks to the teachers involved in the administration and management of the squads. In particular, thanks to the teacher-in-charge, Mr Pountney, who has been unbelievably devoted to the squad. At the start of 2018 we lost Mr Jones to the Cycling squad, but bravely, Mr Gong (who was new to the sport), stepped up to help. Thanks too to Ms Reiger, who was always willing to teach a lesson or two to the boys who were game enough to lose a match to her. Oscar Balla Captain

SWIMMING The Camberwell Grammar School Swimming team experienced a very successful season this year, with many individual and team results to be proud of. With the opening of our new sporting complex (featuring the 50 metre pool), training sessions were increased and more intense including a training week during the summer holidays which was completed with great discipline. The swimming team competed in four Duel in the Pool competitions against Trinity, Yarra Valley, PEGS and Marcellin as well as the All Schools Victorian Relay Championships, leading up to the AGSV finals night. At these events, all swimmers swam their hardest trying to earn an AGSV spot with many swimmers gaining new personal best times. None of this would have been possible without Mr Meachem, who organised all the Duel in the Pool competitions and the training camp which has helped all of our swimmers improve over the last couple of months. With all the arduous training sessions behind them, the Swimming Team made their way to MSAC on Friday 24 March for the AGSV Swimming finals night. Everyone swam passionately and left nothing in the pool. All swimmers should be congratulated on their efforts. Special congratulations go to the Under 13 4x50m Medley Relay team (Yanning Zhang, Gregory Kerdemelidis, Lewis Clarke and Richard Luo) who broke the AGSV and School Records. Yanning Zhang also broke the Under 13 50m Butterfly AGSV and School Records. In the end, Camberwell Grammar finished third overall behind Mentone and Ivanhoe which is a brilliant achievement showing again the improvement of our swimmers and just how bright the future of Camberwell Grammar Swimming is. Thanks must go to Mr Meachem, Mr Robinson, Mr Burke, Carl De Sanctis, Josh Holding and James Ramm for helping coach, organise and motivate our swimmers throughout the year. Furthermore, thanks to all the parents, teachers and students, who came along on the night of the finals to support the team, making it a night to remember. Connor Xu Captain

The First Table Tennis Team returned to the season hopeful to defend their premiership for the fourth year in a row. After the departure of Yat So and Vice-Captain Daniel Jiang, the team welcomed Year 11 Leon Shang and Year 9 Christian Ling into the fold. With the preseason training paying off, the team displayed their great depth dominating the first half of the season, winning by considerable margins. Nonetheless, despite their strong victories, the overall quality of the competition had improved immensely and saw vicious competition between Ivanhoe, Trinity and Mentone. As per usual, twins Jacky and Jonathan Chen baffled opponents. Their final year in the squad, hundreds of hours of hard training culminated in this season. Spinny serves and rocketing forehands saw them win not only individually but also as a team. Christian and Leon improved their games working hard at training and maintaining a consistent resolve in matches allowing them to overcome strong opponents as the season progressed. Bryden Tan’s game has matured profoundly over his two years in the team. Confidence and strategy emboldening his game, he shocked opponents with his electric reflexes, consistent, controlled blocks and striking backhand punches. His strong mentality only improved his game, seeing him make impressive comebacks throughout the season. Nathan Shi remained the epitome of the team’s technical ability. Not dropping a single match throughout the season his impressive combination of serves and pinpointed shots dazzled opponents with his superiority. Just with spin alone, he amassed points, perplexing opponents who failed to read the rapid revolutions of the ball. Lefties Ethan Tang and Captain Michael Tan rounded off the squad. Ethan, who is well known for his unorthodox game strategies, utilised deceptive serves and blazing forehands to win rapid points and stunningly quick matches. Contrastingly Michael mixed it up using numerous strategies to analyse the weaknesses of his opponents and subsequently exploit them. Moving towards the grand-final the team retained their confidence however anever improving Ivanhoe suggested things weren’t as they seemed. In previous encounters that season, Camberwell had defeated Ivanhoe 12-3, 11-4 with many five setters, fortunately, going Camberwell’s way. Camberwell arrived eager and ready to play their best. The stadium packed full of supporters from Ivanhoe and Camberwell emanated a field of anticipation which permeated through the air. The matches began and Camberwell seized

the lead. Michael, Nathan, Bryden, Ethan and Jacky won their matches 3-0, not letting any mistakes made by the opposition go for granted. In the reverse singles, tensions tightened. In the battle of the Captains, Ivanhoe’s reverse pimples took Michael by surprise, winning easy points with his unusual rubber. At one all Michael realised he had to change his game. Reading his opponent’s serves, he focused on consistency and placement, biding time to let loose a powerful forehand that would end the point. Building up momentum he took the lead and consequently the victory. The Match of the day went to Jonathan and Jacky in their doubles match. As the final match of the championship, all eyes were on them. Despite down two sets, the Year 12 men no longer boys, fought hard to gain traction. Knowing it was the final match they would be playing for Camberwell, they gave it everything they had. Centralising on their powerful footwork and coordination, the boys left scorch-marks not only on the table but the floor as well. Focused solely on the match, they claimed sets in brilliant fashion taking out a 3-2 victory. The boys concluded the day victorious, winning 13 rubbers to 2 and 40 games to 13. Congratulations to all the boys in the team for an outstanding season and many thanks to the Year 12’s who will be leaving for their commitment to the sport and the culture that they not only supported but propagated.

Camberwell Grammar School’s Second Gold Table Tennis team had an amazing 2017/2018 season. We had our ups and downs, but overall had a fun and exciting time. During the season, students demonstrated excellent skills and developed strong teamwork. All players did their best over the whole season, with notable players being Thomas Coulter (Year 11), Christian Chene (Year 12), Hassaan Imran (Year 11), Joseph Lai (Year 11) and Sam Leong (Year 11). In comparison to other seasons, this was the most successful by far.
The 2017/2018 summer season was a very successful one for our Year 7 and 8 Table Tennis squad. By the end of the season, Camberwell had 21 players in five teams playing against 11 other teams from Penleigh and Essendon, Trinity, Ivanhoe and Mentone Grammar Schools. Out of 26 matches, Camberwell won 22; our First and Fourth teams remaining undefeated throughout the season.

After a shaky start at the end of last year, the Mitre team lifted significantly and even managed a few wins. The new Sports Centre here at Camberwell was no doubt the mitigating factor!

It is always pleasing to see each player improving their skills through training and competitions; it is fair to say that all players experienced improvement during the season due to excellent, professional coaching from Joe and Andrew of HWATT (Health Wellness and Table Tennis). Camberwell’s dominance in this competition was a combined outcome of the work of our coaching staff and the commitment and sportsmanship of all players at training and on match days.

This year was the Squad’s fifth year. 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 8th Gup (Yellow Belt with two stripes) and the longest continuing members achieving their Red Belts and the most senior among them attaining their 1st Gup, the level before black belt.
Senior belts worked on continually improving their basic techniques, as well as learning more advanced patterns and skills.
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. Senior belts worked on continually improving their basic techniques, as well as learning more advanced patterns and skills. The improvement seen within the squad led to an outstanding conclusion to the Winter/Spring season. The squad greatly appreciates the support provided by Mr Barry Akehurst (6th Dan Black Belt) and the Teacher in Charge and Assistant Coach Mr Hamish Green (2nd Dan Blackbelt) who oversaw the training, and they look forward to consolidating their achievements under their guidance, next year as well as forming stronger partnerships with other schools’ TKD squads.

The second half of the season saw the team go undefeated with the boys’ keen to impress the new Teacher in Charge. Each round saw the boys handle their opponents with confidence and sportsmanship.

Third Gold Tennis After an arduous winter season, the newly formed Third Gold Tennis team was keen to get back on court. Unfortunately, this keenness could not be converted to a win, as the squad went down to Ivanhoe on the newly resurfaced JTO, a surface that the boys were unfamiliar with. Nevertheless, the boys remained determined and resolute and went from strength to strength, convincingly winning the rest of their Term 4 ties. Following the inspirational heroics of Roger Federer at the AO, the boys were keen to do the same, working hard during training to perfect their strokes. The second half of the season would seemingly be derailed, following the departure of captain Aidan Chu, as he was promoted to the Seconds, however, Oscar Tong stepped up as Captain, and led the squad to three resounding victories, before they unfortunately met their match against a dominant Trinity outfit. There wasn’t a dull moment, with Harrison Pham providing team spirit, Oscar Tong providing courtside commentary and the hilarious doubles antics of Alan Jiang and Ryan de Kretser providing a spectacle worthy of a night session on Rod Laver Arena.

Well done to all members of 10C Gold for their sportsmanship and commitment throughout the season. It was a pleasure to be associated with the team and witness the maturity, mateship and personal enjoyment that the competition allowed.

February finally brought a convincing win. The boys were well matched by the Assumption opposition with Samuel Qi playing his singles match for over an hour. Aaron continued to perfect his play to good effect with players further down the ranks acquitting themselves well on the court. Aiden, Kaelen, Sam, Khalid and Hamish all acquitted themselves extremely well and there were some impressively sustained rallies. A solid team line-up finally seemed to be paying dividends. There were some excellent rallies in the doubles against Mentone in the final fixture of the season and it was really pleasing that Aaron managed to win both his singles and his doubles matches that had been a long-term ambition of this season.

9A Tennis The 9A Tennis team had an exceptional season, winning all their games. There were some quality performances from all the boys, demonstrating great leadership and phenomenal team work. Over the course of the season, they continued to improve their skills and fitness due to consistent training. I would like to acknowledge the boys for their outstanding sportsmanship and behaviour throughout the nine rounds. Riley Smith and Wilson Zhu are to be commended for achieving the Most Valuable Player Award and the Coach’s Award respectively. Despite their hard efforts and clear determination, the 9A Tennis squad couldn’t secure the title of the Arthur’s Cup. Congratulations to the squad on a very successful season. Ms Carla Presutti Teacher in Charge
9B Tennis The Year 9B Tennis team had an exceptional season, managing to win all rounds with excellent results. All boys played extremely well each week in both singles and doubles, developing and improving their skills throughout the season. Rory Wheelhouse performed consistently, showing strong ability and was awarded a well-deserved MVP of the season. Meanwhile, Angus Oldham showed excellent sportsmanship and enthusiasm, walking away with the Coach’s Award. Overall, the team played well and all members made significant contributions to a successful season of tennis. Miss Rachel Wu Teacher in Charge
There were also some events worthy of an especial note. Oscar Curry’s effort to play his third match for the day against PEGS to cover a gap in our team list was praiseworthy in itself, but heightened further by his battle with illness the week before. Equally impressive was Alex Liaw The Camberwell Grammarian 2018 | 231

9C Blue Tennis The 9C Blue Tennis team enjoyed a commendable season and encountered a range of challenging opponents in their competitive games. The team was always positive in their approach and although they did not always win, they showed a commitment to compete earnestly in each game. A number of matches were close with the opening game against Ivanhoe Plenty seeing both teams win 31 games each. The distribution of games gave Ivanhoe the edge in sets won, but Camberwell acquitted themselves admirably. Camberwell also scored wins against Peninsula, both at home and away fixtures, featuring excellent performances by Tristan van Koert and Connor Kovos. Nicholas Sarlos-Welsh and Kieran Teoh also proved to be consistently important to the team and they were instrumental in claiming the bragging rights with a comfortable win against their Camberwell 9C Gold team rivals.
excellent sportsmanship at all times. Often the team started slowly, losing the early sets and then becoming more competitive as the day progressed. Throughout the season the boys worked on improving their skills with an emphasis on serving consistency, volleying and positioning on the court. Kenny Zhang showed great improvement in his serving skills. Kudos to both Kenny and Heny Pan who worked hard against the more skilled opponents as they had to step up to number one and two spots in the second half of the season. Doubles combinations showed excellent improvement towards the end of the season as students became more used to their partners.
The 9C Blue team rounded off the season with a resounding win against PEGS, demonstrating a notable development of their skills, confidence and understanding of the game.
Part way through the season we lost two players, but welcomed Blair Zhang into the team and he combined well with Oliver Hu in many doubles matches. Andrew Graham, James Ambry, James Pittard, Joshua Lam and Aaron Song all showed great determination and their consistency improved throughout the season. Congratulations to all our boys who represented Camberwell Grammar so well, and I felt very proud when an opposing coach complimented them on their great manners and attitude.

The 2018 9C Gold Tennis team was a positive and enthusiastic one, despite only three wins and a number of losses. Many of the lost matches were very close and the boys competed with
The 8A Tennis team continued to display just how bright the future of Camberwell Grammar Tennis is, winning all eight matches of the season. Our most dominant win of the season came against Peninsula, where the team won 72 games to six, with nine of the 12 sets resulting in 6-0 victories. Number one player, Lachlan Wei, was dominant all season, winning 15 of his 16 matches, while showing strong leadership and support to all members of the team. The closest match of the year was the final round against PEGS, where the team were down five sets to four with 15 minutes left. Lachlan Wei and Andrew Lee were sent out and managing to win their games convincingly, while Alec McDougall’s come from behind victory resulting in the team remaining undefeated for the

Our most improved player, Will Govenlock, continued to impress as the season progressed. I look forward to seeing what this team can do in the future for Camberwell Grammar Tennis. Mr Tom Owen Teacher in Charge
8B Tennis The 8B Tennis team had a very enjoyable and successful season. Some of the rounds were closely contested, with boys having to demonstrate great determination and perseverance to achieve victory. In a few of the matches, our team went down to the opposition, but our boys played competitively and remained spirited and formidable until the end. All games were played in an excellent spirit and with great sportsmanship, with boys always conducting themselves impeccably, which was brilliant to behold. Well done to Anthony Zographos, who received the Most Valuable Player Award and to Kevin Wang, who obtained the Coach’s Award. Congratulations to all members of the team for their generosity of spirit and for an excellent and very enjoyable season. Mr James Victor Teacher in Charge
7A Tennis The members of the 7A Tennis team enjoyed a very successful start to their Camberwell Grammar Saturday Sport careers. The season began with a home match against Mentone where the team impressed winning 11 sets to one. However, this was not an anomaly. In total, the boys only conceded five sets across the season to their opposition and finished with an outstanding 12 sets to zero win against PEGS. Congratulations to Lachlan O’Neill for receiving the MVP Award and to Thomas Cross for being the recipient of the Coach’s Award. The team participated enthusiastically in the training session and the majority of the team was also selected to be a part of the Development Squad. All team members were eager to improve their skills and arrived punctually to training sessions with a willingness to participate in the different activities. While the strong performances on the court were encouraging for the years ahead, it was even more impressive to watch how
the team grew as a group over the weeks. Initially, the majority of the boys had never met each other prior to our first training session, yet during two long bus trips to Peninsula and PEGS, friendships began to form and the noise level rose. Consequently, by the end of the season, all the team knew each other well and doubles pairs had developed their ability to work together and support each other. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of many years to come where these students can share their passion for tennis together. Mrs Kathryn Smith Teacher in Charge
7B Tennis A perfect record in all matches secured our position at the top of the ladder in the 7B Tennis competition. With a number of the team pushing for selection in the 7A Team and with a disciplined, dedicated approach to training, the boys certainly enjoyed the fruits of their labour. Under the tutelage of Peter Owen, the improvement in various skills and court strategies was spectacular. The most difficult problem to be confronted was how to choose the Most Valuable Player and a deserving recipient of the Coach’s Award, with these honours ultimately being awarded to William Zhang and James Ciro. Congratulations to all on an outstanding start to their tennis careers at Camberwell. Mr Joe Tierney Teacher in Charge
7C Tennis The 7C Tennis team had a very successful and enjoyable season, playing lots of exciting tennis and learning a lot about the game. The team were all new to Camberwell Grammar, but quickly bonded through fun training activities and long bus rides to exotic and distant parts of Melbourne. Games were always played by our boys with excellent sportsmanship and with a positive attitude. Against stiff competition throughout the shortened season, the team won better than half of their games. This was at least partly due to the team’s excellent attendance at training. There was 100% attendance at all training sessions, which was exceptionally pleasing to see. With such natural talent and dedication to the sport, it looks as though tennis at Camberwell will be very strong for the next several years at least.

TRIATHLON Camberwell’s 2017/2018 Triathlon team welcomed brave newcomers, as well as seeing the return of determined veteran squad members, all keen to test their physical and mental fitness through the gruelling monthly races. Along with Mr Collins, Dr Smith and Mr Allen, the squad was privileged to be under the coaching of ex-triathlete and Olympian, Craig Mottram. Excited to prove that the Camberwell squad is a force to be reckoned with in a new competition field, the boys diligently trained unlike any other squad of the previous years. Being new competitors in the 2XU Triathlon Series, our boys were determined to leave their mark in the competition. Race One in Elwood was a remarkable start to the series for the squad. Billy Swingler, Cooper Lewis, Alex Lew and Jake Brown were to be all commended for completing their first race, recording fantastic times and placings that would set them up for a successful season. In the mini distance, Charlie Chun placed 9th in his category, while Jack Amling, Tom Lombardi and Harry Swingler also returned with top ten finishes in the sprint distance. The squad continued to move up the ranks throughout the season, with the toughest race yet to come. Race five, held in Portarlington, was a race to remember. In addition to being the longest race in the whole season, the resilience of the boys was put to the ultimate test with extremely perilous weather conditions. The choppy waters and heavy front and side winds were no walk in the park for the squad.
Camberwell’s highlight performance of the season goes to senior triathlete Jack Amling, who placed fourth overall in his age group after leading the charge with impressively consistent top ten placings.
234 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
With numerous competitors being dragged out of the water, we feared the worst for our boys. However, their blazing drive and spectacular skills brought them to the finish line safely. The highlight of the race goes to Lachlan Waycott, who placed in the top ten of his category, despite encountering a flat tyre. Camberwell’s highlight performance of the season goes to senior triathlete Jack Amling, who placed fourth overall in his age group after leading the charge with impressively consistent top ten placings. Nevertheless, all of the boys are to be congratulated for their dedication, perseverance and performance in what turned out to be an outstanding season. In my years as a member of Camberwell’s triathlon team I have never raced with a stronger, more devoted squad than the team of 2017/2018. To the squads of the near and far futures. Look out for one another, especially for newcomers who have boldly raised their hands to don the gold and double blue in what is perhaps one of Camberwell’s most intimidating sports. I can say from personal experience that it isn’t exactly comforting to line up at the water alongside ‘teenagers’ who look twice your age and double your size. So be there for each other. Keep training with passion and fire, because with the natural talent in this group, you all have the potential to go far. To victory! Nicholas Liew Captain
First VI Volleyball
Second Blue and Gold Volleyball
The First VI Volleyball team began the season well, winning the first two matches of the season. This was due to the great chemistry between members on the court and from the Year 12 leaders within the squad. The squad then struggled for the rest of the season, a few three set losses had the boys lose morale and hopes of bringing any silverware home. The squad never recovered from the losses, but the team improved greatly with technique and dedication to keep the ball alive and in play, but with the improvements, several matches resulted in devastating losses in the fifth set. Although in summary the season appears to be a forgettable one, Camberwell Grammar volleyball has taken a large step forward, which will result in more success in the future.
The Second Blue Volleyball team had a successful season, winning most of their games. Even their losses were well-contested, losing by low margins. The Second Gold Volleyball team had a less successful season. Although a win was in their reach, they fought hard and gave their opponents strong competition, often losing matches two sets to one.
Christopher Kyriakos Captain
Commendably, as the season progressed, both teams showed a great amount of improvement and determination. They developed as a team, improved their passing, communicated more confidently and gained a better understanding of court positioning. Well done to both teams for a great season and now you. can look forward to next season, where any skills developed this season will be utilised. Thank you to Ser Lein, whose coaching commitment and prowess allowed each player to develop and enjoy playing Volleyball. Mr John Catanzariti Teacher in Charge

9/10 Blue Gold Volleyball
7/8 Blue and Gold Volleyball
Each team, Blue and Gold, recorded three wins in the 2017/2018 season, and although these were hard to come by, the boys displayed admirable resilience and courage in continuing to train hard, refine their skills and put them into practice during the matches.
The most important aspect of Volleyball at this level, which includes boys who have a wide range of experience in playing, is their ability to work together as a cohesive team, supporting each other on and off the court.
Will Wallis struck fear into opponents with his exceptional jumping ability and blocks at the net, whilst John Williams’ height came in useful for spiking the ball authoritatively. Tom Sun’s outgoing personality helped to facilitate communication on the court between players, whilst Alex Zervas’ rocketing serve won as many ‘free’ points as Evan Giasoumi’s adroit ball-handling talents saved. Veteran players Max Whittle, Mathew and Daniel Tempany and Joel Connell, contributed not only their skills, but also leadership refined through experience, and special mention must be made of Daniel Shao as the most improved player overall. Both squads, Blue and Gold, merit congratulations for their effort, their positive spirit sustained even through periods of adversity, and the way in which they exemplified the ethos of the school in saying little on the court, but accomplishing much. Dr Tebb Kusserow Teacher in Charge
I think everyone who watched the boys play this season were immediately impressed by the quality of leadership offered to both teams by the Year 8 boys, who consistently mentored and encouraged the new Year 7 players to feel comfortable when playing and to help them build their skills. This was entirely due to the enthusiasm and skill shown by the two Captains, Zachary Kyriakos and Hugo Akse, who led by example on and off the court. Both teams played enthusiastically and hard against their opponents, often winning convincingly in individual sets in games with Trinity Gold, Mentone and Peninsula. These games gave a real insight into the potential of the players in both teams and what we can look forward to seeing as they continue to develop their skills and experience. This was never more apparent than in the 37-35 win in the fifth and final set against Trinity Gold, where both teams rallied together to support the players, producing the most memorable win of the season. Congratulations to everyone who played and we look forward to seeing you again in Term 4. Mr Matthew Wood Teacher in Charge

STAFF NOTES
COMMUNITY
Brendon Peisley
Suzy Chandler
At the end of Term 3, Mr Brendon Peisley, our Year 4 Teacher, accepted a position as a Lead Teacher at a primary school in Albury-Wodonga. He became part of the Junior School community mid-way through 2016, teaching Year 4 with Mr Andrew Crosby. Brendon is an outstanding teacher who demonstrates a thorough and deep understanding of the Australian Curriculum. He prioritises positive relationships with his students and always endeavours to create a supportive learning environment for all to thrive. He is deeply passionate about curriculum and supported the development of comprehensive educational programs, effective assessment practices and data collection for reporting in the Junior School. Brendon mentored and supported his colleagues with his expertise in curriculum and nurtured their professional learning in the areas of ‘Understanding by Design’ and pedagogies for effective literacy teaching in the classroom. Brendon immersed himself in all aspects of life in the Junior School village. We wish him all the best in his career.
Ms Suzy Chandler joined us at the beginning of the year as Director of Development. Suzy knew our school well, having worked here as a teacher of English and as a Head of House between 1994 and 2000. In the intervening years, she was Deputy Principal at Westbourne Grammar and Principal at Fintona for 10 years. Suzy returned to Camberwell Grammar School with great enthusiasm for her new role and immediately began to introduce new projects and initiatives. Unfortunately for us, she was offered a position as Head of Curriculum at the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority and left us to take up that role at the end of Term 2. While her stay with us was short on this occasion, her contributions were valued and we wish her all the best in her new role.
Mr Mat McRae Year 3-5 Grade Team Leader
Jack came to Camberwell Grammar School as the new Junior School AFL trainee at the beginning of the 2016 school year. With his easygoing nature, Jack soon enamoured himself to the CGS staff, parents and boys. He was enjoying the role in Junior School and decided that he would like to return the following year to help cover long service leaves. Jack decided to stay a final year in 2018 as a member of staff rather than an AFL trainee. He also combined his role here with studying Primary teaching part time at Deakin University. In the end, Jack has completed three great years here at CGS and we are grateful for the contribution he has made to the school.
Bianca Bowden Bianca Bowden joined Camberwell Grammar School in September 2017 as Communications Officer on a 12-month maternity leave contract in the Development Office. Whilst coordinating the planning and production of all the school’s publications, social media and digital advertising as part of her role, Bianca quickly built a close rapport with the wider CGS community. In addition to this, Bianca also took on the huge task of managing our new website. Bianca completed her tenure with us in September 2018 to have her first child. Everyone in the Camberwell Grammar School community thanks Bianca for her professionalism and dedication, and we wish her and her family all the best for their future. Mr Ryan Whitehead Director of Development

Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster
Jack Bell
I have no doubt that Jack will become a capable and much admired PE teacher one day. It has been a pleasure to mentor and work with such a great young man. He is very much a team player and will be missed as a colleague and friend. Mr Nick Appleyard Junior School Sportsmaster
Kelly Day
Her approach to the classroom environment is innovative and rich with experiences that expand the boys’ knowledge and understanding across various topics. With a passion for technology and contemporary inquiry, Kelly became an important contributor to the planning and introduction of the STEM and Robotics program in Junior School. Aside from her brilliant teaching and learning skills, Kelly was a generous contributor and positive presence in the Junior School’s social environment. It has been a delight and privilege to work alongside Kelly in the CGS Junior School village. She has taught me many innovative and inspiring teaching methods and most of all she has become a great friend. I wish her every success in her future endeavours, both professionally and personally. Mr Andrew Crosby Year 4 Teacher
Michelle Walsh Michelle started working as a library technician at Camberwell Grammar School 15 years ago. She first worked in the Weickhardt Library and then moved down to the Herborn Library in the same role. Michelle has combined her love of children’s books with a strong interest and skill in digital technologies to create interesting and interactive pages for the library website. She has worked hard every year to make Book Week an event to remember. Not only were her costumes creative, she helped other students and staff with ideas. Michelle liked to chat to boys in the morning as they returned their books and was encouraging of boys who were searching for something new and exciting to read. She was supportive of staff and ensured they were aware of books available for special events and celebrations during the year.
Tim Wells joined the Art and Design department in 2011 and instantly made an impact, not only on the department but the school in general. As a returning the Old Boy, Tim had an affinity for the CGS community; he knew about its proud history, it’s rigorous programs and the reputation of its thriving and successful Art and Design educational programs. Tim’s warm, friendly and caring nature was apparent to his colleagues and the students. Nothing was ever too much. He would stop whatever he was doing to lend a hand, to lend an ear or to give well considered council. Tim was a doer, a maker; a true artisan. There was nothing that Tim could not do, and if you didn’t know he would always find out. He also involved himself in the CGS art evening classes, where he enjoyed life drawing and ceramics. Over the seven years the Art and Design Department was nourished by his professionalism, hard-working ethic and positivity. A man with great personal qualities, a wonderful sense of humour and a love of life, Tim brought smiles to the faces of all at Camberwell Grammar. He is a great friend and will be sorely missed. We wish him every success as he fulfills his dream of creating large scale puppets for Creature Technologies Company. Mr David Williamson Head of Art
Andrew Hopcroft Initially known as ‘Andrew’ to many, Drew rapidly become ‘Drew’ when another Andrew joined the team. ‘Andy’ just wasn’t going to cut it! Do you know those die-hard Apple fans? As an initial Apple sceptic and Windows specialist, Drew honed his skills over his eight years at CGS and is now a serious Apple expert. His Mac device management is second to none and it cannot be discounted that he has ditched his Android phone to become an iPhone aficionado! Latest releases? Yes, Drew knows all about them well before all the other resident Apple fans. With a move closer to home and a new position in the heavily Mac oriented advertising industry, we thank Drew very much and wish him all the very best. Mr John Weymouth ICT Operations and Support Manager
Michelle joined in staff events and especially enjoyed the Footy Tipping competition, and she was good at it! Michelle will be taking up a position as a children’s librarian and providing community support in a very multicultural community. We wish Michelle all the best in her new position and thank her for her many contributions to our Junior School. Mrs Anna Emmett Junior School Librarian

Kelly Day joined Camberwell Grammar School two years ago as Year 5 classroom teacher. With her friendly smile and easy going nature, Kelly soon became a big part of the Junior School’s community and had a positive impact on staff, students and parents. During her time at CGS, Kelly has proven herself to be very dedicated, professional and reliable in all that she undertook.

Murray Anderson
COMMUNITY
Dr Murray Anderson arrived at Camberwell Grammar in 2000 and rapidly settled into his role as Bridgland Head of House and as Head of Physics. One aspect of his attraction to CGS was to find a place to educate his three sons: Bill, Mitchell and Sam. Murray participated in the outdoor education program by taking boys on hikes to Tasmania and country Victoria. His classes were highly engaging and inspired many students to continue learning sciences at tertiary level. Those who know Dr Anderson recognise him as an intelligent and dedicated teacher who made a significant impact during his years at this school. He has written five Physics/ Mathematics books, some of which have been translated into Indonesian. He leaves us with the legacy of a strong and vibrant Physics Department and we will miss his humorous contributions to the daily life in our faculty.
Stephen Cooper In 1989, almost 30 years ago, Stephen Cooper joined the CGS team as a fresh-faced Francophile. His linguistic abilities, his passion for history, his knack for engaging and motivating young men and his sporting prowess made him an obvious choice as Head of French. Indeed, this dedicated member of Schofield House is a wealth of knowledge and over the years numerous students have returned to thank him for passing on his wisdom, whether it be in the classroom, on the footy field or on exchange in France. It was not but last week that a CGS Old Boy said that Steve was “one of the best teachers he’d ever had”. We thank Steve for his guidance and steadfast professionalism. We already miss his calm demeanour and his humour, and we trust that he can now have time in his retirement to relax, travel, read, swim and enjoy more time with his two grandchildren. Ms Naomi Eckersley Head of French
Mr Gordon Wilson Head of Science
Victoria Papaioannou
Penny Runge I first met Penny Runge in 2008 when she was appointed Head of Indonesian. What struck me about Penny was her passion for Indonesian and her dedication to the subject and her students. Her classes were always interesting and one of the projects that was hugely popular with the students were the spice pictures based on the history of the spice trade. Penny’s classroom always had that lovely aroma of spices and was an inviting place with its Indonesian decorations and students’ work. It has been a real pleasure working with Penny all these years and I was also very delighted to teach her son, a student at this school who also had a strong commitment to Indonesian. Penny’s commitment and contribution to Camberwell Grammar has been outstanding and as she enters the next phase of her life, I would like to thank her on behalf of the Indonesian Department for her efforts. Ms Janet Sharman Head of Indonesian
Victoria joined Camberwell Grammar School in 2016 as a Middle School Form teacher. Since then, she has contributed significantly not only to the Middle School but also to the English and Geography Departments. As the fearless leader of Class 8P, Victoria has helped the students in her care navigate their way through their final year of Middle School. Her approach in doing so is undoubtedly reflective of her innate qualities as: kindness, compassion and humour. Victoria’s dedication to her craft as a teacher is apparent, particularly to those of us who have been fortunate enough to work with her in the English and Geography Departments over the past three years. On that note, she should be particularly proud of the integral role she has played in the introduction of English Language in Years 11 and 12; an impressive feat for such a young teacher. In addition to the above, Victoria has worked tirelessly to ensure that Kayaking has ‘stayed afloat’. Her efforts in helping to organise and oversee other important co-curricular opportunities for students, such as the Year 8 Social, have not gone unnoticed either. So thank you, Victoria, for all that you have contributed to Camberwell Grammar during your time at the school. Your collegiality, along with your cheerful personality, will be sorely missed. Ms Miranda McDonald Teacher

Jonathon Davies
Jon was an effective tutor in Clifford House for 18 years. A keen tennis player, Jon was Coach of the Open First Tennis team from 2008 to 2013, and more recently instigated Real (Royal) Tennis at CGS from 2016 onwards. Jon represented Australia in this sport for several years at USA and Australian Opens. He has presented at the Science Teachers’ Association of Victoria conferences in recent years and is a valued member of our Science Department. Jon leaves us to take up a teaching position at Carey alongside his wife, Summer, and we wish him and his family all the best in their new adventure.
John Killeen has accepted a position to teach at Luurnpa Catholic School in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. He became part of the Junior School as a Year 5 teacher at the beginning of 2018. John is a committed teacher who formed strong connections with the boys, colleagues and families in the Junior School within a short time. His caring and genuine nature enabled him to form positive relationships with the boys in his class. John’s passion for ICT and STEM was evident in his classroom program where he used technology to engage his students and assess their understanding across a range of curriculum areas. He was highly regarded by his colleagues as a collaborative, flexible and kind individual. We wish John and his family all the best for their future endeavours in Western Australia. Mr Mat McRae Year 3-5 Grade Team Leader
Dr Murray Anderson Research and Development Associate
Sandy Blajer Sandy joined Camberwell Grammar as a graduate teacher in the Junior School. For many years she taught Year 5 and Year 4, eventually moving into lower primary and becoming the Year 1 teacher. She proved herself to be a natural leader and supportive to all members of her teaching team. Sandy is caring and optimistic by nature and her positive outlook was reflected in not only her students but by her friends at the school. She developed a genuine passion towards emotional intelligence and began further studies in this area. Sandy, being mindful of the importance of emotional intelligence to teachers, began to run Positive Education workshops for staff. Her colleagues benefited greatly from her knowledge and passion and a culture of positivity and gratefulness flourished around the staff room and in the classrooms. We were all fortunate enough to share in many special events in Sandy’s life. Sandy married Brett in a memorable Yarra Valley wedding and then a few years later their first daughter Charlie arrived. After many years of being a role model for her colleagues and a devoted teacher, Sandy will move on to the next stage of her life. We wish her happiness, good health and the best from our school community. Ms Emily Bond Year 1 Teacher
Colin Stein Colin Stein arrived at Camberwell Grammar School on a teaching placement as part of his Dip Ed in 2007, having previously taught in Japan for three years. An expert in the works of Dickens, Colin brought a wealth of literary experience to the School, with his encyclopaedic knowledge of and passion for literature. This same passion he applies to his teaching, delivered in a stentorian Canadian twang. Colin assumed the role of Coordinator of English and History in the Middle School in 2012, in which rhe was always steady, well organised, patient and supportive of his team. He is an inspirational colleague and a pivotal member of the Middle and Senior Schools; a coach, mentor and friend. We wish Colin every success in his new school, much closer to his home and family. Mr Ian Cathcart, Ms Miranda McDonald and Mr Scott Wyatt Teachers
Ben O’Callaghan The Music Department wishes to farewell Ben O’Callaghan, Teacher of Trumpet since 2011. Ben has played a vital role in the development of the school’s brass sections and coordinated music events during his time here. His pursuit for furthering both his own trumpet performance and teaching pedagogy is something both colleagues and students admire. Ben’s expertise in trumpet teaching and ensemble direction will be missed by many and we would like to wish him all the success and happiness in his new role as Head of Brass at Loreto Mandeville Hall.

It has been such a pleasure to be involved with the school community and I thoroughly recommend all to get involved if you have the time.
Cadet Auxiliary We are all about supporting the CGS Army Cadet Unit, whether it is serving breakfast after the wonderful Anzac Day Dawn Service, providing lunch for new recruits on Training Day or most famously selling sausages on the occasional Friday lunchtime. Both the BBQs and our cookie dough fundraiser enabled us to provide items to make camp at Puckapunyal more comfortable and quieter; solar power now instead of a generator, a portable hot water boiler and swags for staff. Thanks to Auxiliary members Fionna Cooper, Nina Lewis, Michael Neal and, taking over as 2019 Convenor, Annie Savvas. Mrs Annie Balla Convenor
Camberwell Grammar School Auxiliary This year we welcomed many new faces to our Auxiliary group with many Year 7 mums joining us. In Term 1 we helped with the welcome morning tea and set up refreshments for parent teacher interviews which continued in Terms 2 and 3. Throughout the year we coordinate the volunteers

for the cafeteria each day where we have had a pool of 80 plus volunteers willing to give up a morning or two each term. Pudding preparation was in full swing in Term 2 and then in Term 3 we mixed and cooked our 807 puddings using the same recipe handed down 33 years ago. On Open Day we held our cake stall where we had lots of yummy, home-baked goods and our puddings to sell. As always this was a great success with all cakes sold by 12 noon. We also had a successful memorabilia stand with new items including a beautifully boxed pair of wine glasses and photo album. Thanks to all for your support this year; it is time to hand the baton over with myself, Andrea Watt our Treasurer and Catherine Thompson our Secretary all leaving. I am very pleased to announce our Co-Convenor Allison Guerrieri, who is taking over as Convenor with Astrid Toms as our new Treasurer and Vivienne Katsolotos as our Secretary. It has been such a pleasure to be involved with the school community and I thoroughly recommend all to get involved if you have the time. Mrs Nicole Loidl Convenor
Friends of Aquatics
Friends of Basketball
The Friends of Aquatics group provides support for Swimming and Water Polo.
The Basketball season kicked off with a launch breakfast, a well-attended event for our players and their families. Manny Hendrix was our guest speaker on the morning, a previous US College player and current coach of Collingwood Rep Teams. The morning concluded with the handing out of the 2017/2018 singlets to the First V Basketball team.
This year we organised a presentation night for Swimming with Matt Welsh as the guest speaker. Matt was a great communicator and the boys and parents really enjoyed his entertaining story of becoming an Olympic Swimmer. We also introduced new encouragement awards to reward the swimmers who put in a lot of effort but are not necessarily the fastest swimmers. During the short Spring Water Polo season we opened a coffee shop to provide drinks for the spectators and at Open Day this year we sold towels and raffle tickets. Thank you to all parents and teachers who have helped during the year. Ms Sue Hall President
Friends of Baseball Baseball continues to gain momentum, with CGS fielding four teams within the Victorian Winter Baseball League. After a season kick off with pizza, Friends of Baseball hosted a family night. Speakers from Baseball Victoria shared their experiences as professional baseball players and Australian Olympians. Passing the Olympic torch around was a highlight on the night! The season ended with a presentation night and a family day at a Melbourne Aces game. Finally, thanks to all parents who scored, set-up, packed-up, provided fruit or helped on Open Day. Your help is appreciated by all. Ms Lisa Seabrooke and Mrs Karen Ellwood-Branson President and Secretary
The season was extremely exciting for the players and coaches at CGS this year, for the first time in many years the First team beat Trinity to make it through to the semi finals of AGSV Basketball. At the end of the season Friends of Basketball facilitated the annual presentation night in the Camberwell Room. Most Valuable Player trophies were presented and our guest speaker was Adonis Jordan, a former US professional basketball player, playing in both NCAA and the NBA. Thank you again to all those that help out Friends of Basketball and we look forward to seeing you around the courts throughout the season. Mrs Fran Amling President
Friends of Cricket In January the First XI team participated in the annual Neil Dansie Cricket Festival, hosted by Camberwell Grammar and Friends of Cricket assisted with lunch catering during the carnival. The season closed with a dinner for the First XI team and an all teams presentation night where Mr Troy Stanley, Head of Middle School and an experienced cricketer, spoke at both events. On Open Day, Friends of Cricket once again held Devonshire Tea in the Camberwell Room while the Development Squad boys played a limited overs match on the KAO. Mr Martin Ross President

Friends of Cycling
Friends of Football
The Friends of Cycling have had another busy year. Mr Marcus Jones has taken over the role of Teacher in Charge with great enthusiasm, ably supported by Coach Mark O’Brien and Assistant Coach and Old Boy, Hamish Webber (2016). Our thanks to all three who have trained, encouraged and transported the boys over the year.
Our mantra at Friends of Football is to provide a resource for the school to support the football program and enable all boys participation in football at Camberwell Grammar.
COMMUNITY
The Cycling Team competed in a range of Cycling Victoria’s Interschool events and Friends of Cycling have continued to support the team with food and refreshments and encouraging the families of the boys to come and see the boys in action. Friends of Cycling also hosted their first ever display at Open Day this year. The interactive ‘come and try road racing’ projected onto the large screen was a huge success, with many eager riders of all ages giving the pedals a spin. A huge thanks to all the committee members for their hard work and enthusiasm over the past year. Mrs Tracey Guorgi President
We do this through fundraising events and running a canteen at all home games. This provides a social connection for the families of the boys to come and support the teams each week plus enable us to provide things like training jumpers to the First XVIII squad. Our premier function is the end of year presentation night. This was extremely well attended with over 230 people. Our special guest for the evening was Luke Darcy, who spoke wonderfully about the enjoyment he has gained from football, particular the friendships and life lessons that football has given him. A big thank you to the Friends of Football committee for a great year with everyone pitching in to help manage the various events that we run. Special mention to Frank Bite and Mark Kleiman who are both retiring from the Friends of Football committee after many years of service Mr Matthew Chun President

Friends of Hockey support the development of our hockey players and celebrate their achievements. In 2018, an expanded Friends of Hockey continued the great work and initiatives which had been embedded through previous parent group members. The season commenced in April with a six-a-side competition, BBQ and delivery of starter kits to new players. We celebrated the depth of hockey talent coming through the school at the whole school hockey presentation night and First XI team dinner in Term 3. We closed the year with our popular Open Day souvlaki stall where new players were recruited and strong interest was shown from Middle School parents in joining the parent group which bodes well for an exciting 2019. Mr Jeff Gooden President
Friends of Kayaking It has been another busy year for Kayaking at CGS. We had a solid core of paddlers, competing in five events over Term 4 in 2017 and Term 1 in 2018. Major events included: • Bendigo Cup at Bridgewater where 20 boys paddled in pairs • Ben Ward 40 Miler at Cobram - CGS fielded four teams, of six paddlers, taking part in a three-leg relay to cover the 64km on Saturday, then 3x10km loops on Sunday, collecting a second place in the marathon event. • Blessing of the Boats on the Yarra Banks attended by Ms Falloon, Reverend Butler, students and parents. • An invitational event with MLC and Trinity on the Yarra where the boys paddled in mixed pairs with the MLC paddlers. • Victorian Schools Championships at Nagambie competing primarily in the marathon K2 and TK2 events. • Victorian Marathon Championships at Geelong. CGS collected a range of medals across different age groups and event types. • As a result of fundraising, we were able to donate a kayak ergometer for use of all students in the new school gym.
Thanks to Friends of Kayaking supporters including Teacher in Charge Victoria Papaioannou, Rev Charles Butler, Coach Robbie Aardoom, Jamie Watson, parents and the Friends of Kayaking Committee members, especially those who assisted with fundraising events and in towing the boats to and from events. Mr John Campbell President
Friends of Library Friends of Library have had an interesting and productive year, kicking off with the Friends of Library Book Fair at Open Day. Thanks to the wonderful weather, it was a busy day and we sold almost $2,000 worth of books earning a credit of $480 for our librarians to spend on resources from Scholastic. The 2017 Book Exchange sold 2,024 books from 365 sellers to 374 ‘customers’ earning a profit of just over $16,000. We also raised almost $100 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. As always, the success of Book Exchange is due to the time and talent of a vast army - over 72 volunteers contributed 538 hours of their time. We thank them, and the Camberwell Grammar families who continue to support the Book Exchange most sincerely. Friends of Library provided re-upholstering for chairs in the Weichardt Library for $13,000, as well as a new projector and electronic blinds for the Junior School Library for $11,000 just just over $4,400 for electronic resources and $1,000 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 Friends of Library committee for their enthusiasm, expertise and friendship. Dr Alexandra Haendel Convenor

Friends of Norge
Friends of Snowsports
Friends of Norge is the parent group which supports Junior School activities and consists of coordinators and Year Representatives.
Camberwell Grammar has an active Snowsports team that competes annually in the Victoria Interschool Snowsports Championships at Mt Buller. This year the team was represented by 33 students from the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools.
This year has been a busy year for Friends of Norge, hosting breakfasts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Over 300 parents and boys attended each of these events which were held in the Camberwell Room. The Junior School Footy Day was held on the last day of Term 2. A sausage sizzle and cupcakes were enjoyed by the Junior School boys before they participated in footy activities and drills lead by the School’s First XVIII Football team. On Open Day it was exciting to see our Junior School village abuzz with activity. 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 our committee members and Year Representatives for all your hard work in bringing our school community together. 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 CGS staff for another memorable year of performances. FoPA members volunteer at school performances by serving refreshments, assisting with costumes and make up as well as preparing the choir robes for the Christmas Carol Service. We sincerely thank our committee members and volunteers who generously give their time and energy to support our activities. We welcome all parents of boys with an interest in theatre or music to join FoPA in the coming year. Mrs Jennifer Bité and Mr Michael Koswig Co-Convenors 266 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2018
Friends of Snowsports also supports the annual Camberwell Grammar Falls Creeks Ski Week, held over the last week of the Term 2 holidays, where CGS families ski and après together in a very social environment. This year’s ski week coincided with the best season in over ten years, with great snow conditions and sunny skies. The week finishes up with the Camberwell Cup where the boys compete on the race course to determine starting positions for the interschool races and other family members test themselves for bragging rights. The final event of the year was the cakes and expresso coffee stall at Open Day staffed by volunteers. I would like to thank all involved for ensuring its success. Proceeds from the stall will be used to help fund training and awards. I would particular like to thank the staff involved in Snowsports; Mr Ian March, Mr Michael Hayes and Mr David Williamson. Without their efforts, in what can often be trying weather conditions, Snowsports would not be possible. Mr David Finney Convenor
Friends of Soccer The 2018 season opened with the Old Boys v First IX game which was preceded by the presenting of playing shirts to the current First IX team. Our next gathering was in the Camberwell Room to watch Australia play France at the World Cup where celebrating the Aussie goal en masse was the highlight. The soccer community came together in August for the season presentation evening. Not only was talent recognised but enthusiasm, determination and team players. Tom Kalus interviewed Archie Fraser who enlightened all about the current environment of Australian soccer. Our final contribution was the penalty shoot-out at Open Day. Mrs Jenny Gotz Papillo President

2018 was a successful year for Tennis. Several teams completed the season undefeated and the tennis community came together at several events. We celebrated presentation night with a tournament and BBQ. Graeme Harris, champion player and father of Andrew Harris (2012) Old Boy and professional player, presented the awards. At Open Day our stall sold Dutch pancakes and held a silent auction. Many thanks to our sponsors and volunteers who gave their time. Our season launch was a pizza night in the Camberwell Room. We heard from Heath Davidson, Rio Olympic Quad Wheelchair Champion and the First VIII Tennis team received their caps. We would like to thank all tennis families, staff and coaches for their support and wish everyone a fabulous season on the courts. Dr Carolyn Quan and Mrs Wendy Jones-Wade Co-Convenors
Parents’ Association The year started with our welcome back functions for Junior, Middle and Senior School parents. The evenings were well attended and were an opportunity for parents to meet with staff and to renew existing or create new friendships. I attended the school’s ANZAC Day Dawn Service and was given the great honour of laying a wreath on behalf of the school parents. At the end of June, the Parents’ Association Social Committee successfully held our annual social function. This year, we decided on a change of style and we held a Trivia Night where the dress code was to wear a hat. There were many varied styles and themes displayed on the night, but a table of Junior School parents with their creative lampshade headpieces won the prize for the ‘Best Hatted Table’. Our showcase Open Day event was once again held under sunny skies. Most of the ‘Friends of’ groups were represented, either with a food or an activity, which helped to create a wonderful carnival atmosphere throughout the school. As the year draws to a close, I wish to thank the Headmaster and all the members of the committee for their support, enthusiasm and commitment and I look forward to working with them again in 2019. Mrs Cathy Garrard President
For the team at PLUS, 2018 has been a year of consolidation and settling into our new shop. We continue to receive so many positive comments about the new space and facilities! In addition to our philosophy of ‘re-use’, a focus for PLUS this year has been to find environmentally sustainable ways of recycling uniform items that we cannot sell. This has led to us forming relationships with two charities, one in South Africa and one in the Northern Territory who are delighted to receive these items. This year we have welcomed 13 new volunteers to work in the shop, mostly from the enthusiastic Year 7 group but also several mums from other year levels. But, sadly, this year we are saying goodbye to a wonderful group of Year 12 mums, who have made an amazing contribution to the Swap Shop and PLUS over many collective years. Mrs Tracey Guorgi, Ms Lily Jiang and Mrs Vivian Lathouras Co-Convenors
Year Representatives It’s been another busy year for all the Year Representatives from Middle and Senior School. We have sipped endless amounts of coffee, shared so many wonderful stories and supported each other through another glorious school year at Camberwell Grammar. Thank you to all the wonderful Class Representatives who term after term go out of their way to organise many opportunities for school parents to come together. Thank you to all the parents who turn out for these functions. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy organising them for you. Mrs Angela Marino Convenor The Camberwell Grammarian 2018 | 267
