EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION
What makes Camberwell special? The question seems absurd at first – how could we not be? But every community must eventually reflect on what sets it apart from the rest. What defines it, and makes it worth preserving. It is not our buildings. Incredible as they are, they can only ever be as important as what happens inside them. It is not our size, or our uniform, or our motto. Camberwell is defined by its people. The people who learn, work and play on our grounds, for five days a week and 39 weeks a year. A community of teachers and learners brought together for the common purpose of producing young men who will be known by their impact on the world. These people set us apart, by striving for the best in their every endeavour and fostering a learning environment unlike any other.
The teachers who work tirelessly to give their students the best possible education. Whether in a classroom, a practice hall, or on a sporting field on a chilly Saturday morning, they go above and beyond to ensure Camberwell students can not only survive their journey through school but thrive at every turn. The students who dedicate themselves to their work in the classroom, on the field or stage. Although their concentration may sometimes be questioned, their enthusiasm is undeniable. They embody the central mission of Camberwell, and their achievements reaffirm its fulfilment. The Grammarian is a celebration of each one of them. On these pages, we chronicle their experiences, from the mundane to the exhilarating. I implore you to see the people behind every one of this year’s stories – not only the people who feature in them but the countless others who contributed to them in their own way.
“To next year’s students, I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity this school offers you”

Some of these people will conclude their time at the school this year, and move beyond to the world of adulthood. To the class of 2019, I hope that your time at the school has equipped you for whatever dreams you pursue. Others are continuing, or even just beginning, their journey at Camberwell. To next year’s students, I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity this school offers you. And a very special group of people made this publication possible. To the Development Office, and especially Ms Dolling, thank you for showcasing the best of Camberwell. To you, our readers, I hope you enjoy seeing the people who make our school special. James Gunasegaram Prefect for Publications
This has been another year which Camberwell Grammar should be proud of. From inter-school competitions to global issues, our students have risen to the occasion spectacularly, and have lived up to our motto wholeheartedly. The year started with a bang with House Music being a mere couple of weeks from the start of Term 1 requiring many to step out of their comfort zones. Despite this, each House put on some amazing music and sang and played their hearts out – but obviously, the stars of the night were the mega recorder ensemble of 2019 Prefects, nailing every note of Sicko Mode with Stormtrooper accuracy. The same vigour and energy was applied beyond the classroom amazingly as well. The halls were awash in colours as students banded together to support the LGBTQ+ community as rainbow ribbons adorned the chests of all as we proudly celebrated IDAHOBIT Day. Even though the team of Year 11 and 12 students we sent to Kingswood College ultimately lost the Pride cup, our spirits nevertheless remained high as we were able to decisively declare our support for this wonderful cause.
persistence evident as they struggled for a victory until the last whistle, defeated only in points but not in spirit. Congratulations to both our badminton and table tennis teams for their convincing victories in their respective premierships, their skill and effort evident in their outstanding achievements. Even as our school reeled from the loss of two beloved teachers in Legal studies teacher Ms Susan Davies and sometimes special forces Mr Mark Williams, the entire school banded together, wearing black armbands in memory of the teachers who did so much for the sake of our students. As we memorialise Ms Davies, hosting her beloved Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea and dedicating the 2019 CGS Formal video to her, and holding

maximum-capacity memorial service for Mr Williams, we remember what they strove to create – a nurturing and friendly learning environment built on encouragement. As the year draws to a close, we know that the time to hang up our blazers is almost here. We leave knowing that the 2020 Prefects consist of extraordinarily capable leaders who will ensure that the school continues to develop and strengthen. Thank you to all the teachers and students who have made this journey possible, and we wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours. Jack Amling School Captain Andrew Zeng School Vice Captain

The Creation Window In the afternoon the sun comes through the east window. The very beautiful creation window, created by internationally renowned glass artist David Wright. First one sees the huge abundance of stars stretching around the swirling earth. The colourful planet is made up of many animals, birds, insects and fish. Five humans reach out to each other, as they hold a tablet on which the Name of God Creator is seen in five different languages. Rockets leave the earth, symbol of both our ingenuity and our fragility. The rainbow reminds us of God’s covenant with us and our responsibility to each other and the earth.

Values in the Chapel
Parents’ Prayer Group
Throughout the year, during the House Services and the weekly prayer and praise services, the boys have had an opportunity to speak out on our values. Each House chose a theme for their House service. This year learning, respect, integrity, courage and optimism were the values used. It was heartening to hear the boys reflect on their own journey through life. Their personal stories were so encouraging to their mates, their teachers and themselves. I find it so rewarding to see boys grow as they share and lead in the Chapel Services.
Through the difficult times and ‘the busyness’ of our school community, we have been upheld in prayer. We give thanks to God for encouraging our group members to continue to pray. Also, we cannot thank enough, the many parents who have been a part of ‘The Angels’, delivering dinners to those in need. Reverend Charles Butler School Chaplain

“The boys learnt that the power of positive thinking actually helps us not only sleep better but live a longer, happier life”.
Junior Chapel ‘Attitude of Gratitude,’ was this year’s Term 2 Junior School Chapel Service focus. The boys learnt that the power of positive thinking actually helps us not only sleep better but live a longer, happier life. Sitting in the beautiful Chapel surrounds helped us kick start a positive mind set with the beautiful picturesque stained-glass windows helping us appreciate God’s goodness to us.
Term 3 Chapel Service put a challenge to the boys, “are you a thermometer or a thermostat?” Unlike thermometers that just read the temperature of a room, a thermostat makes a difference by positively changing the temperature of those around them. One fantastic way the boys put this challenge into action was by raising money for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and the Salvation Army.
Investigating superheroes in the Bible has also been a highlight in CE this year where boys have discovered that biblical superhero characteristics like courage, standing up for what you believe, showing kindness and saying sorry are not just characteristics of today’s 21st century superheroes, but are what we should aspire to be and put into practise in our everyday lives. Mrs Natalie Rice Junior School Chaplain

INTRODUCTION
FAITH AND SOCIAL JUSTICE This year, the Rotary Interact Club continued to meet once a week to discuss and think of ways to raise funds for the local and international charities that we support. Led by Mr Double along with club president Ben Finney, this year saw the club grow from strength to strength, with a variety of old and new fundraising ideas carried out by the enthusiastic members of the club. Some of the fundraisers included sausage sizzles, a casual clothes day, the screening of Spider-Man: Far From Home at Lido on Glenferrie Road, and the highly successful Year 9 Social. Due to the boys’ undeniable efforts this year the club managed to raise $6,000 for each of the two charities the club elected to support. This money will no doubt be of great benefit to our supported charities, ‘Operation Toilets’ and ‘Ready Settle Go.’ What was also very encouraging to see was the growth of the club’s members throughout the course of the year, and I wish Charlie Amling, next year’s president along with the leadership team all the best in continuing the growth of this club.
8 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
Another school club which grew considerably this year was ‘Mustard’, a Christian group that meets once a week during lunchtime to enable students to come together in fellowship to strengthen their faith with one another, as well as establish connections with others in all year levels at school. This year, we were lucky enough to have Old Boy Caleb Yii (2016), come down every week to run bible studies and discussions which gave plenty for the students to consider. One topic that we studied was the gospel of Mark, in which the students gained a better understanding of how to live a life that aligned with their faith in today’s modern world. I hope this passionate group continues to grow next year as the boys continue their journey towards God.
Also, it was wonderful to see the number of other charity events that took place within the school and in conjunction with other nearby schools, run by different students throughout the year. All the House charity events were a huge success this year and allowed nearly all students to get involved in giving back to the community. Finally, I would like to wish Oscar Cheung, the 2020 Faith and Social Justice Prefect, all the best with his endeavours next year. Ian Kaharudin Prefect for Faith and Social Justice

JUNIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOL LIAISON
CURRICULUM INTRODUCTION
Junior School In the Junior School we are focused on providing a rich curriculum where knowledge and skills are gained and values and personal qualities strengthened. Every day in the Junior School after lunch the boys engage in 10 minutes of mindfulness. Teachers use programs such as Smiling Mind and Mind Yeti. Mindfulness can calm the mind, focus our attention and help us make the most out of any situation. It is about focusing attention on the here and now, rather than thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Good mental health is grounded in being mindful. It allows everyone to quieten our often over-stimulated brains, and when we focus on being present, we feel authentic, lighter and more balanced. The teachers also engage in the practice of mindfulness with the students. The EI (Emotional Intelligence) program has continued to be taught in the Junior School and has expanded as new programs have been devised. The boys work through a series of modules including perception and expression of emotions, emotional facilitation of thinking, understanding and analysing emotions and reflective regulation of emotion. A Parent Information Session was held this year facilitated by Maryanne Kapoulitsas from Swinburne, Mrs Caroline Gatley and Mr Tristen Haines. The session was very well attended with parents working collaboratively through activities. Three other Parent Information sessions
10 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
were held this year. These included Numeracy, Prep and Year 1 Literacy, iPad program, Living and Growing Program for Year 5 parents and Life Education. Across the Junior School, year levels complete units of the Australian Curriculum including History, Civics and Citizenship, Design and Technology, Economics, Geography and Health. The teachers create Integrated Studies units which aim to develop students’ skills and dispositions they require to be active, responsible and thinking citizens. The units are designed to give the students exposure to knowledge in a way that transforms it from sets of facts to practical real-life applications. Units are created through a Backwards By Design approach to ensure that the intended outcomes are reached. Excursions are organised to enhance the understandings and give the boys real life experiences to draw upon. Examples are: Prep visit the farm to understand where our food comes from and Year 1 visit Eureka Tower to view the Melbourne Landscape. Year 2 dress up in olden day clothes and are fully immersed in stepping back in time with a visit to Como House.
Year 3 go for a walk around Canterbury to make observations of change in our community and look for evidence of history. Year 4 visit Polly Woodside where they are given the opportunity to step into the shoes of sailors who lived and worked aboard the ship. Year 5 visit Sovereign Hill to see firsthand what life was like during the Gold Rush. The boys in the Junior School are learning to code which encourages them to become creators, not just consumers, of the technology they use. While learning to code they are encouraged to think critically and strategically to solve problems while developing logical and sequential thinking. In Prep the boys have been using BlueBots, later in Years 4 and 5 advancing to Spheros and Robotics. The Junior School curriculum continues to evolve in response to new ideas, new technologies and to the needs and interests of our students and we strive to prepare our boys for today and tomorrow. Mrs Caroline Gatley Deputy Head of Junior School, Curriculum
“The Junior School curriculum continues to evolve in response to new ideas, new technologies and to the needs and interests of our students”
During the middle years students undergo rapid physical, intellectual and emotional change, and their responses to these changes play a pivotal role in shaping their future selves. Our challenge as Middle School teachers is to provide our students with a rich range of activities, through which they can test their mettle, become confident participants in a social world, and gain the knowledge and skills they need in their future schooling and throughout their lives. This year was a year of consolidation and refinement. Year 8 Electives – Music, Drama, Film, Robotics and Visual Communication – continued to be popular, and Year 7 students enjoyed their introduction to more rigorous studies, particularly in Science and History, subjects new to many. All students participated with enthusiasm and good
sportsmanship in House and School sporting events, many trying new sports for the first time and forging friendships across year levels within their House, with Year 8 students taking a leadership role in many of the activities. There were numerous excursions and incursions during the year, allowing students to hear from experts in a range of fields. The young team at Elephant Ed gave compelling presentations to parents and students on developing healthy online behaviours, including social media; Courage to Care worked with Year 8 students on developing supportive strategies and openness of mind, using the Holocaust as a context, a background familiar to them from their reading of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Other presentations looked at issues of alcohol and graffiti. All these, and more, were woven into the Personal and Social Development course, giving each class the
time to discuss their ideas and apply the skills to their own life. Debating and the Middle School Production, To Kill a Mockingbird, were popular, with many boys willingly giving their time to enjoy the new challenges offered by these activities. Projec10 raised a record amount of money for Koala Kids, the stalls providing a wide array of activities and items for sale, many of these made by the boys themselves, and by the girls from participating schools. Thank you to staff and students for all they do in the classroom, on the sporting fields, on stage, and in the schoolyard. This has been another productive, positive year in the Middle School. We look forward to working together again next year. Mr Scott Wyatt Deputy Head of Middle School

INTRODUCTION
Senior School 2019 has been a full and successful year. As anticipated, the results of our 2018 Year 12 students maintained the school’s outstanding record at VCE. Not only were the top 50% of our students ranked in the top 10% of the State, but the school received the State’s 10th highest number of VCE (Baccalaureate) awards, which recognises those students who successfully study Languages and Mathematics through to Year 12. And we are confident that our 2019 valedictorians will live up to the standards achieved by their predecessors.
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 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.
When we talk about skills, we mean much more than the skills of conducting a scientific experiment, creating a work of art, or reciting a poem in a language other than English. We mean those skills that fuel success, the skills that are often Of course, academic achievements at referred to as C21 capabilities – the the VCE level is only one indicator of a ability to work both independently and successful year for the school.

System, teachers across the breadth of the curriculum regularly provided written feedback to students about how they might improve their learning of key skills for the given subject. This practice not only reinforces the importance of quality feedback, which research has consistently shown to have the greatest impact on improving student learning, but also provided parents, who have access to their son’s subject pages through Schoology, with ‘real-time’ information about the progress of their son. This year has certainly placed our Learning Management System at the centre of the learning process for students, teachers and parents. It’s not only the students engaged in learning at CGS. We pride ourselves on being a learning organisation where all of us, students and teachers are actively engaging in learning each and every day. The Instructional Coaching Program, which has now been operating in the postprimary section of the school for five years, continues to support teachers to refine their pedagogy so that they too continue to learn for the benefit of their students. Mr Laurie Ince Director of Teaching
Over the past few years, Camberwell Grammar has seen a spike in interest and support of environmentally friendly options. This, being led and encouraged by passionate Mr Hone along with his disciples, has seen much change to the image of the school. Firstly, it has seen the student led body of Towards2050 rapidly grow in popularity over the past two years. This group are the same students who organised the installation of 2,400 solar panels across the school. I am pleased to say that because of these actions, 2020 will be the first year that there is a ‘Prefect of Sustainability’. It is a huge leap forward for the school considering the fact that a student-led body for environment was unheard of five years ago.
drink bottles which are far better than your ordinary, boring plastic ones. We also sell reusable coffee cups at the canteen. Fun fact: if you bring a reusable coffee cup, the canteen will only charge you $3, rather than $5 for a coffee in a landfill cup. There is also a Tesla battery charger that is free in the carpark of our school.
Over the past couple of years, our ‘propaganda wing’ have put in blood, sweat and tears trying get a number of messages across to the staff and students. These could be advertising our events, such as our home-made bees-wax wraps during Green Week or our Open Day art competition, or this could be the not-so-subtle messages of what goes into the recycling bin (paper, cardboard, cans and hard plastic).
Who knows what 2020 will bring. We know there’s beehives, but what else? Maybe we can make a movie. All we know is we will be back, delivering more sustainability messages and initiatives to everyone in the Camberwell Grammar community.

Our Middle School group has also done a fantastic job during the year. Their main initiative has been preparing plants for Open Day. The Year 8 group are responsible for organising a brand-new beehive to live on school grounds. Don’t worry though it is highly unlikely you will be stung by one.

This may all seem like a walk in the park to organise, but behind the scenes there have been hours of manual labour, organising events such as kangaroo meat sausage sizzles to prizes for coffee in the canteen. We are still selling metal

DEPARTMENT NOTES INTRODUCTION
Chinese This year we have hosted students from our sister schools in Xi’an and Hangzhou, China and our students have learned more about the Chinese language and culture from their Chinese friends. In April, 27 students and four teachers visited Beijing. They visited Tian’anmen Square, Palace Museum, Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall and tasted the famous Peking duck. In Xi’an we visited our sister school and our students attended classes and stayed with Chinese families. In Chongqing, a city with over 30 million people, we visited university campuses and enjoyed a river cruise. The Chinese Department has organised several excursions, including watching Chinese movies and viewing the Terracotta Warriors in the National Gallery of Victoria. Our students also participated in Chinese language competitions and many students enjoyed the Education Perfect program. Mr Wei Ha Head of Chinese
Commerce The Commerce Department continued to provide students with an understanding of how our society and economy operates. The students have a growing realisation that they will soon be a part of this beast and that they will have important choices to make. An important aspect of Commerce at Camberwell is to create an engaging environment to learn about the world in which they live and to ensure that they become a valuable contributor to it. From prisons to parliament and markets to Magistrates, we visited many places to put smiles on faces. We visited Ned Kelly’s gaol and saw which shops had a sale. We dabbled on the exchange and analysed when interest rates changed. Excursions and practical exercises are the best way students learn and Accounting, Economics and Legal Studies provide a valuable pathway to make a difference. The teachers in the Commerce Department have a passion for teaching, a passion for learning and a passion for their
14 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
students and we hope that, over time, the people they teach will also be passionate about their chosen path. Mr Andrew Warne Head of Commerce
The last word of thanks is extended to our new teachers in 2019. Mrs Aneta Renieris
and Mrs Stephanie Bohni have both been inspirational educators and magnificent colleagues. We have been blessed to have them join the Camberwell community with such professionalism, positivity and enthusiasm. Mr Rick Mason Head of English
English as an Additional Language In 2019 Camberwell Grammar School ran EAL classes for Year 9 to 12 students, with the Year 9 and 10 composite class being taught by Mr James Victor. Mr Michael Daniel taught the Year 11 and 12 classes. As done previously, Year 9 and 10 students used the Headway Course. The Year 11 class consisted of four students who were in a composite class with a group of mainstream Year 11 English students. The texts they studied included The Story of Tom Brennan, Night, Twelve Angry Men, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The Year 12 cohort consisted of 11 students. Students completed regular listening comprehension practice tasks, usually based on material from the ABC Radio National website. They read After Darkness for the single text analysis, a novel about a Japanese doctor held in detention during WWII who came to Australia in the late 1930s to escape his past. 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.

French Camberwell Grammar School hosted six French students during winter, including five from our partner school Lycée Assomption Bellevue, Lyon. In December, four of our Year 10 students will have their turn on exchange for six weeks, as last year’s students did. They will arrive in time for La Festival des Lumières, experience a French Christmas and probably do some skiing in the nearby Alps. This year we successfully introduced after school DELF classes run by the Alliance Française. This 10-week course prepares students to sit an examination in October and allows their level of French to be

officially recognised internationally. We hope to continue this program in 2020. Four of our Year 11 students of French participated in a French UN Model conference at the University of Melbourne on ‘Asylum Seekers and Refugees: A Global Humanitarian Crisis’. Our team represented Mexico, one of 30 countries. The entire day was conducted in French and extended even the most proficient French speakers. In other news, we again had many boys compete in the Alliance Française Berthe Mouchette Competition. Congratulations to Daniel Meagher who came first in Victoria in the Written Competition Hors Catégorie, and Darcy Livingstone who got a special mention from the jury for his poetry recitation. For parents, CGS French Connection continues to meet regularly for Frenchthemed social gatherings such as French film outings, wine and cheese nights, apéro.

Finally, in the September holidays, Mr Ken Da Costa, Mr David Williamson and I took 20 students to Paris and its surrounds on the biennial French Cultural Tour. The group indulged in the best of Paris’ museums, galleries, food and famous sites. Staying in the bustling Marais district, we enjoyed the best Paris has to offer and managed two day trips to the châteaux in the Loire Valley, the Gothic Cathedral in Rouen and Monet’s garden. Magnifique! Merci à toute l’équipe.

History
Indonesian
With China and Russia continuing to feature prominently in the headlines in 2019, 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 globalization, 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.
The intellectual and cultural advantages of studying another language never vary, and with the great advancements and developments in Asia in recent times, it makes even more sense to study Indonesia, our closest Asian neighbour.
Two History classes at Year 11 have enjoyed the Units 1 and 2 TwentiethCentury 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 Year 9 and 10 continue to be favourably received by CGS students. These courses are important in educating responsible Australian citizens, focusing, as they do, on such topics as the impact of European settlement on Indigenous Australians; key global movements and forces (for example, Imperialism, Capitalism and Nationalism) that have shaped the modern world; the Holocaust during World War II; and the issues of refugees and asylum-seekers. This year the department introduced a new excursion for all Year 10 students to the Holocaust Museum. The opportunity to meet and hear the story of a Holocaust survivor was the centerpiece of the excursion, and the boys were very moved by John’s account of his time in the Lodz Ghetto and Buchenwald death camp. All students then worked in groups to produce their own multi-media documentaries on the Holocaust, which were then shown to each class. 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

In 2019, the Indonesian Department continued to offer a curriculum that reflects these changes and our students developed an insight into the fascinating culture and society of Indonesia. Our Year 7 course commenced with the study of the Spice Trade and an exciting visit to Ceres where students made batik, played Anglung instruments and devised their own short play using shadow puppets. This gave them a taste of some of the diversity of traditional Indonesian culture. At Year 8, students visited the Melbourne Zoo where they learnt about Indonesian
animal species, their habitats and the effect of deforestation on their continued existence. Students in the Senior School focused their studies more on modern Indonesian culture which included an enjoyable meal at an Indonesian restaurant as well as participation in the Indonesian Film Festival. This year celebrates the 47th year of continuous teaching of Indonesian studies at Camberwell Grammar. Our school was one of the very early adopters of Indonesian language and now has one of the largest enrolments in the subject in Victoria. Almost 1,000 Victorian students study Indonesian at Year 12 each year in the VCE. The Indonesian Department will continue this trend and further develop and maintain an innovative curriculum for 2020. Ms Janet Sharman Head of Indonesian
INTRODUCTION developers. We hope to continue this program in future years.
Information Technology Remember a time when you couldn’t order ice cream using your phone or track the exact moment when your Uber was going to arrive? Neither can our students. The technological progression continues at an unprecedented rate and never has preparing our students for an unknown future been more significant than now. As a department, our challenge has always been to stay well-informed with relevant technologies whilst never losing sight of important, adaptable skills that allow our students to be versatile and resilient in an ever-changing world. This year we welcomed Mr Andrew Worsnop to the department, who brought experience and enthusiasm in helping our students expand their skills and develop their confidence in a wide range of relevant technologies. Year 6s were introduced to electronics and coding through the BBC
MicroBits which is a great lead on to the more robust EV3 Lego Mindstorms in Year 8. As seen during our Open Day, senior projects exhibited a wide variety of skills, from mobile app development with Thunkable, to 3D printing and prototyping with Arduino, as well as immersive game development using the commercially viable Unity engine. Two students entered their game into the 2019 ACMI Screen-It Competition and we eagerly await their results. In keeping with the focus of staying current and relevant, Year 11 VCE Computing and CISCO students attended the annual CISCO Conference, participating in keynotes, panel discussions and hackathons. In May, we hosted our first Q&A panel with industry experts as an incursion for all senior students. This year’s panel was made up of 6 professionals in different areas of the growing games development industry. Students were able to hear about and ask questions on the life and days of real games
2019 has been a particularly tough year in our department with the loss of a wonderful teacher and friend Mr Mark Williams. Mr Williams was a caring and thoughtful teacher whose love and dedication to his students never wavered. He will be missed dearly by all within the community, but his memory will live on through his students and the ideas he has championed as a skilled and knowledgeable IT teacher – most recently in AR/VR. With the support of Mr Williams, our Year 8 and 9 students piloted the VR program this year using CoSpaces to create interactive worlds, whilst Tony Chen, an avid film editor has utilised our 360 cameras for a VR tour of the school. We will be continuing Mr Williams’ hard work and vision in further developing our AR/VR program for 2020. As the ICT Department continues to expand and develop, we welcome Ms Jenny Luca (Head of ICT and Innovation) and Mr Julian Visser (ICT Integrator) who we are very much looking forward to working with. We thank Mr Francesco Scalzo for stepping in for Mr Glenn Pountney while he was away on long service leave and are happy to have Mr Pountney back to finish off the year with the CISCO students. As always, the Computer Centre staff make the school run smoothly and we wouldn’t be quite as productive without their support. Ms Rachel Wu Head of Information Technology

INTRODUCTION
Latin How wonderful it was to welcome into our department (albeit only for a term) our first ever female Latin teacher, Ms Tess Anderson. Ms Anderson was tasked with filling the rather large shoes left behind by Dr David Bird, who had decided to take long service leave. Taking charge of Dr Bird’s Year 7 and 8 classes, Ms Anderson soon won them over with her calm and gracious manner, her enthusiasm and her professionalism. In the Latin Department office, Ms Anderson proved a delightful conversationalist, a hardworking and supportive colleague, and it is with real regret we now bid her farewell and good luck as she takes up full-time employment elsewhere.
20 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
Another satisfying aspect to the year was to watch Mr Sam Gough, his health now fully restored, throw himself into his teaching with the vigour and energy of old. These qualities are of such great importance to our department, and inspire the younger boys to immerse themselves in their study of Latin with comparable spirit. Dr John Tuckfield, meanwhile, spearheaded the charge to refine the skills of our students at the other end of their learning trajectory. Year 12 students tackled the challenge of studying Virgil’s epic masterpiece, the Aeneid; and, most formidably, its final instalment, Book 12, in which its hero Aeneas must confront his
main adversary, Turnus, in a single combat that, although it resolves the question of who will lead the Italians, leaves much else unresolved—demanding extraordinary analytical acuity on the part of our Year 12s. Next year’s Latin Tour is now in the planning stages: Spain, France, and northern Italy feature, as well as the usual Rome and southern Italy components. We look forward to that, and to all the richness of experience and opportunities for growth that the ancient world, in texts or in travels, invariably has to offer. Dr Tebb Kusserow Head of Latin
INTRODUCTION Learning Enhancement In 2019 we were delighted to welcome Mrs Helen Papageorgiou to the Learning Enhancement Team. Helen is a highly experienced teacher and has worked in the Middle School for many years. We appreciate her skill and enthusiasm for her new role and the boys love working with her. Ms Claire Tighe continues to work with us but now in a fulltime capacity in Education Support. Ms Jennifer Turnnidge took over the Multilit program, working one to one with students with word reading difficulties, as well as teaching some Learning Enhancement Classes while Ms Carmen Morgan continued to lead the Numeracy program in the Middle School, as well as numeracy enhancement and extension in the Junior School. Mr Paul Double Head of Enrichment
A smaller number of students competed in the Melbourne University Mathematics Competition. This is a very challenging competition and it is always pleasing to see our students performing at a high level. Some results of note are: Flynn Helmer received a Merit Prize in the Junior Division; Jerry Ji, Luke Doblin and We have also undertaken a range of William Yang all received Merit interesting professional learning including Prizes in the Intermediate Division; learning from the energetic and wise Sue Philip Wang received a Merit Prize in Larkey about Autism Spectrum and ADHD. the Senior Division; while Oliver Papillo and Andrew Zeng received Outstanding Ms Ciara Chaomhanach Prizes in the Senior Division. Head of Learning Support A focus for us this year was to review and improve processes for identifying and diagnosing students’ learning difficulties, ensuring that all staff are aware of their professional obligations as stipulated by the Disability Act and the Standards for Education, and improving processes relating to funding.
Mathematics Students at Camberwell Grammar participated in a wide range of mathematics-based activities during 2019. In August, 721 students from Year 6 through to Year 12 sat the Australian Mathematics Competition. Over 200 of these students received distinction or high distinction certificates. This is a wonderful achievement and demonstrates the strong mathematics skills of many of our students.
Our students participated in Maths Games Days organised by the Mathematical Association of Victoria during the year. Several of our teams did very well at these events where they solved puzzles and took part in activities with students from other schools. Three students from the Middle School, Flynn Helmer, Joel Cheok and Jonty Neil took part in a MathsCraft session at Ruyton towards the end of October. The idea of these sessions was to introduce students to problem solving and to help them appreciate how simple ideas can be generalised and developed. During the sessions, the students work with a mathematician who will help guide them towards their ultimate goal. The students found this to be an incredibly interesting and valuable experience. The work and activities that our students do both in and out of the classroom involves a great deal of behind the scenes planning. None of this would be possible without the hard working and enthusiastic members of the Mathematics Department. Dr David Rodgers Head of Mathematics

INTRODUCTION
The Murdoch Centre for Educational Research and Innovation The Murdoch Centre for Educational Research and Innovation has had a busy year, as can be expected in a time of fast-moving change in education. The centre has been producing regular articles for Spectemur, and presenting at conferences and to CGS staff, as well as providing advice to departments and individual teachers. Much work has been done on informing and shaping the school’s next strategic plan, which will need to guide the school though a period of potentially rapid change. A research focus has been on trying to determine what actions would most benefit the students at the school. In education, as in many fields, there seems to be an unending array of innovations that schools could adopt, all demanding our attention. It can be difficult if not impossible for teachers to decide which ones are worthy of their attention; what will provide the payoff in terms of student improvement that makes the investment of time, effort and resources worthwhile? Using the work of the Sutton Trust in the UK, including talking to CEO, Sir Kevan Collins, while he was visiting Australia, as well as the work of Professor John Hattie, the Australian Council for Educational Research, Dylan William and numerous others, we have come up with a range of possible improvements that could enhance teaching at CGS in the most effective ways. These include selfregulated learning, feedback, cognitive load theory and improving collaborative learning methods. More work remains to be done, but much of the theoretical investigation and research has now been completed. The school’s two new academies have been a major focus for the centre. Much work has been done on establishing protocols, making connections and explaining the idea to the school community, but both are now running superbly and are fitting into the school under the dedicated and passionate leadership of Ms Rachel Atkinson (Music) and Mr Jamie Watson (Sport). The search is now on to find other areas of the school where we can leverage our existing high performance to do even better for our students. We have been hit hard by two losses this year. Mr Mark Williams was working on using block chain technology for the awarding of digital badges, as a way of acknowledging student achievement in the
22 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
years below the VCE. He was working with Ms Suzan Davies, who was revising the Commerce course as a pilot in converting to a digital-badge micro-credential. Both had boundless enthusiasm for the project and were instrumental in reaching out to experts in the field and potential partners in industry - which would have proven very beneficial to our students, and also our staff. The deaths of these two who were inspirational in their relentless positivity touched all who worked with them. A new project group will be constituted to continue the ground-breaking work these two have pioneered. Dr John Tuckfield Director of The Murdoch Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
Physical Education The Physical Education Department have capped off another productive year. Now in our third year of using the new Sports Centre, the program continues to grow and develop. All students from Prep to Year 12 were actively involved in Physical Education practical classes throughout the year, which remained the largest program in the school. At any given time, there were up to five classes running, with students participating in a wide range of sports. At the end of the year we fondly farewell Mr Rhys Thomas. His enthusiasm, passion and willingness to be involved in a broad range of activities within the community was infectious. We thank him for all his hard work, and his good sense of humour will be sorely missed in the office. We have also had the pleasure to work with Mr Luke Bluck, who competently supported the eight members of the Middle and Senior School Physical Education Department. We wish him well as he begins his own teaching career. In other staffing news, we congratulate Mr Matt Sofoulis and Mr Craig Conlan and their wives for the arrival of a new child. The department continues to provide a multi-activity Physical Education program that introduces students to a wide range of sports with the aim to promote a life-long participation in physical activity. Throughout this program, students engage in activities that develop strategic thinking and tactical knowledge to improve individual and team performance. We maximised the use of our state-of-the-art pool by
conducting swimming units across Year 7 to 10 and a Water Safety program to the Year 7 and 8s. The expertise of our Aquatics Manager, Mr Nic Campbell and Performance and Pathways Swim Coach, Mr Matthew Belgiovane brought fresh ideas and a higher level of student education into this important area of the Physical Education curriculum. All Year 9 students were provided with a half a term introduction to resistance and cardio training that was overseen by Strength and Conditioning Coordinator, Mr Paul Sartori. This gave students the opportunity to learn how to train to improve their health, well-being and sport performance. Many of these Year 9s, and students from other year levels, took up the opportunity to use this facility at lunch and after school under the guidance and supervision of our personal trainers, Mr Adam Earnshaw, Mr Jay Ellis and Ms Phoebe DiTommaso. The school continued to recognise the importance of Physical Education to the overall development of adolescents by offering a recreational based program in Year 11 and 12. This allows every boy to maintain healthy fitness levels during their heavy academic work load, understanding that there should be a balance between work and and play which 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 two classes of Year 12 (studying Units 3 and 4). Our Year 12 students participated in an Enhancement Program that was conducted by Exercise Research Australia. We look forward to introducing an excursion for Units 1 and 2 and our Sports Science classes next year.
Mr David Beardsley Head of Physical Education
Science This year marks two celebrations of major scientific achievements – the 150th anniversary of the development of the periodic table and the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing. 2019 was designated as the International Year of the Periodic Table, recognising the great contribution of the Russian chemist Dmitrii Mendeleev’s castellated chart that occupies the walls of most science laboratories on the planet. For students of chemistry, the existence of the periodic table means that we don’t need to learn the properties of all elements. Students will be amazed at seeing Group I elements – lithium, sodium and potassium float, spit and catch fire when added to water and note that metals react more violently with increasing atomic size. Students quickly ask about the next elements – caesium and francium – and reasonably predict their explosively violent reactions when in contact with water.
This predictive power is due to the strength of Mendeleev’s table – that chemical properties become predictable once trends are observed. Mendeleev was so confident that he had found some undisputed trends in properties that he predicted the existence and features of undiscovered elements. His prophecies were realised 20 years after his death, when these elements were isolated and identified, revealing chemical behaviours uncannily as predicted. 2019 was also the year that the United States completed the achievement set by President Kennedy when he proposed that the US “should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth”. It is now 50 years since astronauts walked on the moon for the first time. Apollo 11’s success—just 66 years after the Wright brothers’ first flight—showcased humankind’s ingenuity and technological progress. Those fuzzy images of Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon are said to be the only positive event where billions of people remember exactly where they were at the time.
celebrate the moon landings. This small city was the site of the development of rockets and remains at the forefront of developing space technologies. The tour was inspiring to our boys, some of whom have insights into their career choices. This tour complements the Galapagos Science/Geography tour that runs on alternative years. We hope both will be ongoing and see many of our students tackle challenging events that may influence their future careers. This year we have seen three longstanding science teachers retire, Mr Glen Foster, Mr Murray Anderson and Mr Joe Tierney. All have significantly contributed to the strength of the science program and have left a legacy that will influence our students for many years. I truly appreciate their advice and suggestions to making our program of such high quality. Mr Gordon Wilson Head of Science

The Weickhardt Library 2019 has been a year of change in the Weickhardt Library with the retirements of Mrs Margaret Watt and Ms Heather Falconer after 25 and 31 years of service respectively. Both ladies made an enormous contribution and we thank them for their commitment, professionalism and collegiality. Subsequently, we welcomed Mrs Jan Everret and Mrs Sarah Emerson to our team. This year subscriptions were taken out for several new online databases to benefit both staff and students; Mrs Regine Miriklis consolidated work on LibGuides, updating subject information; and Mrs Catherine Casey and Mrs Janine Pietralla presented an Information and Visual Literacy program to Year 6.

Middle School Book Club and Makerspace continued to thrive. Staff Book Club also met regularly at lunchtimes. As always, our spaces were filled daily with boys studying, doing homework, preparing for orals, reading, or playing chess. At our Blokes’ Book Breakfast, awardwinning author Mr Michael Gerard Bauer, delighted his audience with hilarious anecdotes about his school days and his dislike of public speaking. A rush on borrowing his books followed his talk – always a positive sign.
My sincere thanks to Mrs Sarah Emerson, Mrs Jan Everett, Miss Falconer, Mrs Regine Miriklis, Mrs Janine Pietralla and Mrs Watt for their work in the Weickhardt Library; to Mrs Michelle Rutter and Mrs Maryanne Walker in the Junior School Library; to the Audio-Visual, Computer, Printing and Maintenance teams for ongoing support; and finally, to our wonderful, hard-working Friends of Library for assisting us to provide our online encyclopedias.

JUNIOR SCHOOL REPORT
Our school continues to evolve, develop, refine and redefine itself to meet the needs and aspirations of its community in a changing world. New technologies present us with new ways of doing things in an ever-expanding world of knowledge, yet a world contracting with ease of information, communication and travel. There is much we can use to make our teaching more effective, but there is much that remains constant and is at the very heart of being an outstanding school for boys. It is so important to understand the nature of boys as learners and provide a program that challenges their intellect and nourishes their spirit. Our mission remains to take each boy as far along with his intellectual, physical and personal range as he can go, and to do so in a climate in which each boy is known and loved. We want boys of good character even more than we seek academic prowess, for what value is a man who knows all but has not the integrity or resolve of a moral human being. At CGS we strive to develop young men able to lead a rich and rewarding life, and able to contribute to and enrich the lives of others. The ideals of our school motto, ‘Spectemur Agendo’, by your deeds you will be known, are paramount in our quest to develop boys of character. 2019 has been another year brimful of learning and wonder. The staff have developed an extensive program providing experiences for boys to discover their talents and encouraging their personal development. Confidence to sing, play a musical instrument, or act a role before one’s peers comes from experience, and our calendar is filled with opportunities for boys to share their talents with an appreciative audience. The Year 3-5 Musical The Adventures of Super Stan was not only brilliantly performed and wonderfully entertaining, but it also showed the boys at their best working 26 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
hard together to produce something special. Likewise, ‘Poem in my Pocket’ allowed the boys to learn and present a poem that not only appealed to them but challenged them.
Book Week, Poem in My Pocket; Prep 100 Days; or some other special activity or experience. However you look at it, it has been an interesting, exciting and rewarding year for us all.
Each boy will have his particular memories and highlights from the year, moments of pride, progress and enjoyment. Among these memories may be their class camp; the concerts, soirees and performances; Maths day; Science day; Life Education program; Robotics; the Sports days; the projects and presentations; excursions and incursions; Open Day; assemblies;
This year we welcomed Mr Michael Pettolino, Ms Michelle Ponert, Mr Tristen Haines as classroom teachers; Ms Francesca Thomson as Counsellor; Mrs Michele Rutter as Librarian; Mrs Sofia Tsolakis as Art Teacher; Miss Ella Enniss as PE Assistant; Mrs Ning Hong as Chinese Assistant and Mr Huw Jones replaced Mr Appleyard as Sportsmaster while he was on leave.

One of the great strengths of CGS is its sense of community and the willing involvement of parents. My sincere gratitude goes to all those involved in the Friends of Norge, led by Ms Janet Cheung, Ms Debbie Cheong, Ms Karen Mills, Ms Lydia Dwijayanti and Ms Viviana Yong, for enriching the Junior School experience for boys, staff and families. Our Class Reps did a phenomenal job organising an extensive and interesting program of social and support activities that included dinners, coffees, father-son camp, a host of fun activities with the boys,
as well as supporting class events, footy day, the stalls for Open Day, Father’s and Mother’s Day breakfasts, library, art room and more. This all contributed to making our school a better and more interesting place. A special mention must be made of the extraordinary work done by Mrs Dune Richards in managing a very busy Junior School Office and the high standard of care and attention she provides to all members of our community.

I like to build castles and houses. I like to use the blocks inside and outside. Sometimes Eason and Henry play with the blocks.
Joshua Vo I play and find bugs. The worms go in the compost and we collect the millipedes in our buckets. Other bugs go in the bucket too.
Anthony Zhang
Isaac Lam We use other things to make obstacle courses. We use coloured stepping stones. Some are bigger and some are smaller. It is sometimes hard. It’s really fun. Marcus Chen You can use stepping stones and the wood planks to make an obstacle course. It helps you get your exercise. The round ones are really hard to balance on. Patrick Rye

How Does our Garden Grow?
I like to jump on the leaves. I threw the leaves.
We went to swimming. We went in and the teachers helped us to swim. My best thing was going on the noodle.
We painted the pots then we planted them. We put soil in the can and then we put in the flowers. Then we watered them so they will stay healthy.
Charlie Yu I love jumping in the leaves. The leaves splashed out and we had to put them in a pile again. We used the wheelbarrow and the rake to collect the leaves.
Teddy Kemp We went to swimming. We had sinking toys. We had to go to the bottom of the pool and grab it, and then come up. Aarik Kumar

Wild Action Zoo
100 Days of School
We do activities about our Word of the Week. We like to learn about things in Literacy Groups. We enjoy Cars and Stars where we have to choose an answer. We do THRASS and SMART Spelling. We are good at spelling words. We love reading books on the ipad, and doing activities.
The Preps were learning about animals and the needs of living things. Wild Action came to our school. We learnt about what animals eat. We saw a kangaroo. It jumped around our classroom. We learnt where animals live. We saw a goanna and some boys got to hold a really long snake. It took three people to hold the snake. We saw a bat and it flapped its wings. We also went to the zoo with our Year 5 Buddies.
We measured how long 100cm is, did activities in 100 seconds, built a tower with 100 giant cups, stamped 100 stamps and made fairy bread with 100’s and 1000’s it tasted amazing. Our Year 12 mentors came to help. We had to wear a 100 days of school t-shirt which we designed and we made special crowns.

Blue Bots We learnt a lot about Blue Bots. When you press the buttons they go forwards, backwards and left and right. We made the Blue Bots go under tunnels and chairs. We like to make the Blue Bots move. We had to make a track for the Blue Bot to visit zoo animals. Harry Gration, Samuel He, Chris Jiang, Evan Jiang and Josh Ko

Book Week
Eureka Skydeck
We went to the Melbourne Museum. First, we took a bus to the city. Next, we got off the bus. Then we ate our snack. Then, we went into the museum. After we looked at old houses. Then we went and had a lesson and listened to a story. Next, we looked at a few old toys. We had a fantastic day!
We had a great time during Book Week. Tobias came as Willy Wonka, PJ came as Captain Jack Sparo and Jai came as Paddington Bear. Miss Bond came as Hermione Granger. We really enjoyed our week. Kylie Dunstan, an author, came to visit. We had an amazing time!
We went to Eureka Skydeck because we were learning about man-made and natural features. When we got there, we walked down to the river and looked at the different natural and constructed features around us. After that, we finally arrived at Eureka Skydeck. It was impressive! We saw many different Melbourne landmarks.

Reverse Art Truck In Term 2, we went to the Reverse Art Truck. We were in groups. We went to the park and ate our snack. We looked up and saw a beehive. We went into the Reverse Art Truck.

JUNIOR SCHOOL Year 1 Book Reports
Mad About Science Incursion
In Year 1, we do a Book report each week. We choose a different book and use a sheet to plan. The sheet helps us to know what to say. We also have presentation dates and a schedule. Every week we have a different topic. At the end of our presentations we ask the class, ‘any questions or comments?’ and then we respond.
In Term 2 we had an incursion from Mad About Science. We were learning about different materials and how they change shape. It was really fun. We got to use a microscope to look at different materials. We sorted out natural and man-made materials. We did really fun activities like making rockets. The visitor made a fire and it accidentally set the fire alarm off.

We Have Ants!
Fictional Mini Beasts!
In Term 3 we went back in time. We visited the Como House and saw what it was like to live in the olden days. Times were tough in the olden days! The teachers were strict. It was nice to return to CGS.
Did you know that we have more females in Year 2 than males? That’s right! We’re outnumbered. There are approximately 250 females and only 25 of us. We have ants in Year 2. And not because we spill our food. We have three different species. We love watching our colonies grow. The queen lays all the eggs and the workers work all day and night to look after her. Mr Jones is terrified of our bull ant queen! She’s HUGE! 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.
When we were learning about minibeasts we decided to create our own. We used a special computer program to help us create our own superbug. We had to choose body parts like wings, legs and antennae. We then built our minibeast using a variety of items. Some minibeasts had dragonfly wings and ants’ bodies. Each body part had pros and cons. We made playing cards for our minibeasts too!

In Term 4, Healthy Harold taught us about the people who are important to us. We talked about how to be a good friend. We also learnt about healthy foods and how much sugar is in each cereal. We saw Harold, he is funny! Ethan Aw, Gaius Pillemer and Harvey Zhao
Rickett’s Point Excursion One of our favourite excursions was to Rickett’s Point. We went on a scavenger hunt along the beach to find living and nonliving things. We explored the rock pools and found sea stars, crabs and sea snails. We learned how Indigenous Australians cared for the beach and used it as a source of food. You should go to Rickett’s point!

We have enjoyed being part of the Recorder Ensemble with Mrs Fry. This year we have learnt many different songs including Cora Blue, Movie Medley and Annie’s Song. We performed Cora Blue at assembly, and we wore sunglasses on stage. It was brilliant!
When the day arrived I had butterflies in my stomach. They suddenly turned into sparrows and then into flacons as I entered the PAC. I sat in the front row of the whole school assembly. I presented my poem Equipment by Edgar Guest. The clapping from the audience was deafening and I looked up to see my parents grinning from ear to ear. I felt proud.
When the whistle blew the sound of feet carried through the air as boys sprinted, getting ready for Cross Country. Year 3 had been practising every day for this day. When the whistle blew, everyone sprinted as hard as they could. It was hard to overtake others because boys were clumped together. Cross Country was a challenging and exciting highlight.

In Term 1, we went to Healesville Sanctuary to learn more about animal classification. We walked around the Sanctuary in small groups with parent volunteers. On our tour, we got to see a variety of unique and diverse animals including the Corroboree Frog, Wedge Tail Eagle, Koalas, Helmeted Honeyeater, Tasmanian Devils and Red Kangaroos.

We entered a Book Print competition where we had to work out our teacher’s favourite childhood books. We had Andrew Hanson and Jessica Robert visit us as our guest authors. They were very funny!
This year has been our first year of ‘Huff and Puff’. Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday we are out and about exercising before 9.00am. We have running time trials on the Anniversary Trail, play ball games and practise our skipping. It’s a great way to get energised for the day. We love it!
We have enjoyed being challenged in Maths, learning lots of different problemsolving strategies. From making an organised list, using logic and reasoning to looking for a pattern and drawing a diagram, we have persevered. It is always great to learn new and different ways of solving the same problem.

Swimming Carnival
Winter Sports
I felt my feet touching the soft, hot sand as we participated in a number of activities such as surfing, boogie boarding, water safety and beach running at Point Roadnight beach. What a start to Term 1 at camp!
Beep! “On your marks.” Beep! “Go!” The swimming carnival at CGS is a thrilling and nerve wracking event. The swimming carnival is a chance to show how you have improved over the year. It’s a great experience to race your friends and enjoy swimming sports at the same time. You get to cool down on a hot summer day when others are boiling like sizzling bacon outside. Many people beat their personal records and the results were very tight, but Schofield and Derham just pinched the victory.
We couldn’t wait to hop on the bus and drive to both Trinity Grammar and PEGS. It was great that we had three sports to choose from - football, soccer and handball. Once we arrived, balls flew through the air, going between the posts and into the net. It was great fun playing with our friends and we can’t wait to do it again next year.
Ben Liu Splash! Our paddles pushed through the salty, cold water of the lake, our kayak was paddling in lead position with the others on our heels. When we finally reached the bridge, we were second last to arrive. The thick mud gushed out of the dirty water, we saw the whirls and swirls on the still and silent lake. We decided to race when we were near the bank. Charles Pettolino and Todd Hu SPLASH! A huge wave rolled across me as the salt water pushed me out to sea. The surf life instructor pushed me to shore. Whoah!! It felt like I was a pro surfer. Camp was awesome; a memory I will cherish forever. Thomas Pritchett and Richard Su

Excursions “Sniff, sniff.. Yuck!” In Term 2 we went to the Rethink Education centre and it sure stunk. Although it smelt like old socks we had an amazing time and learnt about where our recyclables go. Turns out the reason it’s so smelly is because people do not always put the correct things in the recycling bins. In Term 3 we visited the Polly Woodside ship. It was as tall as a skyscraper. We got to do fun activities like steering the ship and we all really enjoyed it. Khris Navaneetharaja

I felt frozen, until the music that had suddenly come on made me jump out of my position and I got ready to go on stage. Hundreds of people were watching. The scene where Superstan pulled undies from a briefcase got plenty of laughs from the audience and especially the little kids. Superstan, played by Roy Legge, was amazing. The production will be remembered by the boys for a long time to come. Gary Kong

Polly Woodside
Spheros
Green Screen Technology
“Scrub the deck!” In Term 3 this year we went to Polly Woodside, a neglected cargo ship that the National Trust bought for one cent to make it the shipping museum that it is today. On the ship we were surprised that there was only one bath for the whole ship. It was in the captain’s room and only the captain could use it! In the dining room and bunk room we found that the best beds were the ones on the side, so that you could get rocked to sleep (rather than bumped on the head), but not those on the bottom bunk which got wet with sea water or sick!
Vrooom! The Spheros speedily raced around the tables as our classmates coded directions. Our group needed to code the Sphero to navigate it’s way around a table. We took it one step at a time, to ensure we completed the task correctly. If we didn’t, the glowing Sphero would run off track. Next we were challenged by little zig-zags that our robots had to drive on. The main challenge was to angle the Sphero correctly. We think Spheros are a very fun educational tool.
Click! Mr Haines’ camera snapped a photo of Connor dressed up as Christopher Columbus. We all dressed up as explorers of our choice in front of the green screen. The costumes were so realistic. The backgrounds really helped to set the scene, which made us look even more like explorers. We made explorer poses to make us look like we were really there in the moment. We had a lot of fun doing green screen and hope to do it again in the future.

Sovereign Hill
As I watched videos about the moon and scrolled through websites, I added information to my poster. I had volunteered to enter my poster in the competition at MLC, so I knew it had to be my best work. I added a picture of an astronaut and it looked amazing! I felt so excited that I had filled the poster. As I entered MLC, I felt proud that I volunteered. I was taken to a room where I was interviewed and I was happy with my results. I showed my parents and they were so proud that I had tried my best.
I shake the pan side-to-side. Rocks fly out of the pan as my hands slip and my pan falls to the ground. I was about to scream when I saw a flicker of gold and immediately dug for it under the debris. I picked it up and glanced at it proudly as I gently put it into my jar. It shimmered brightly in the bottle like a sun. Going to Sovereign Hill was fun because I got to do something that I always wanted to do: GOLD PANNING! We got to use pans and shovels to get the gold. It was pretty hard because the gold was really small. It took a bit of time until I found it, GOLD!

Ian Potter Gallery and Immigration Museum Learning about immigration at the Immigration Museum was exactly what we were doing. At the Ian Potter Gallery we were lucky enough to see paintings and objects about immigration. It was an engaging and enjoyable experience. We discovered that the five main reasons why people migrated are because of freedom, family, war and conflict, disaster and seeking a better life. Every student in my group had learnt a substantial amount of facts about immigration. We all had a great time. Leonidas Tiras
Year 5 Camp I checked my harness as I prepared to jump off the platform. I wriggled forward ready to let my feet glide off the block. The wind was stiff as I felt the terrifying sensation of falling and the jolt as the harness caught me. I turned in mid-flight and heard my friends yelling behind me. I slowed and could feel the violent rush. It was so much fun! I ran back around the lake hoping to have another turn. The camp experience was exciting and electrifying at the same time. From unpacking burdensome bags to sharing a meal in the dining room, we learnt important skills of organisation, resilience and cooperation. A highlight was the visit to Hanging Rock on the last day. It was difficult work to make it to the top of the monolith, but the rest and the view was invaluable once we got there. It was worth the effort and I didn’t want to leave it one bit!

JUNIOR SCHOOL Robotics In Robotics, the Year 5 students started programming EV3 robots through their iPads. ‘What if we put the motors in front?’ and ‘How can I program the robot to move in a certain direction while moving an arm up and down?’ were some of the questions boys asked as they strived to make their robots move. Everyone started building intimidating claws and wheels for the highly anticipated Robot Wars we had planned. Everyone had completely different robots and started challenging each other. There were unexpected wins and hasty losses. All of us had a very enjoyable time during Robotics. Christian Pham and Anson Wang
Round Robin
Parvana
As fast as a tracer bullet, I shot around the Trinity player waiting to tackle me. As I had the goal in my sight, I grinned as I dropped the ball deftly onto my boot. It made a sweet connection. “Yes!” exclaimed Toby as he ruffled my hair; I had kicked another goal.
Can you imagine the lives of women in Afghanistan with a strict religious organisation controlling their lives? This used to be the situation in Afghanistan and women were not allowed to leave their house without the company of a man. Parvana is no ordinary book. The story of Parvana is set in a time of great oppression and it is about a girl who dresses as a boy to help her family to survive.
The Round Robin was very enjoyable and highly entertaining. We played football, soccer and handball against Trinity Grammar and PEGS. Kathir Suresh and Alexander Tahn

This year has been a busy and eventful one in the Junior School Library. Our Book Week celebrations culminated in a fabulous week of dress ups, author visits, competitions and reading fun. During the week we welcomed author and illustrator team Andrew Hansen and Jessica Roberts who shared the Egyptian inspiration behind their popular series, Bab Sharkey and the Animal Mummies. Andrew’s hilarious read aloud style and Jessica’s quirky illustrations were very well received by the boys. Kylie Dunstan also shared her award-winning book Nannie Loves with our younger students. After demonstrating her artistic techniques Kylie guided the boys to produce their own ‘emotion face’ sketches. Throughout the year the library also celebrated many other special events including National Simultaneous Storytime, NAIDOC Week and Poem in my Pocket, as well as promoting the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge. Mrs Walker, who managed the challenge, saw a pleasing increase in participation this year with over 50 boys receiving award certificates. Our lunchtime ‘Make It @ Library’ program continued to offer new experiences. Exploration of electronics kits proved popular with Year 3 to 5 boys who collaborated to develop simple inventions, such as self-driving vehicles. Prep to Year 2 boys enjoyed using Make-Do tools to construct box creations in our cardboard challenge. We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support of Friends of Library. Friends of Library are contributing to the expansion of resources for the ‘Make It’ program in 2020 as well as providing funding for a new reading chair in the Ocean Room. This generous assistance is much appreciated in continuing to enhance our wonderful learning space. Mrs Michele Rutter Head of Junior School Library

MIDDLE SCHOOL REPORT
“At CGS, students have the opportunity to explore passions inside and outside the classroom.”
Let’s say you are an employer... what qualities do you look for in prospective employees? Obviously the candidate needs to be able to perform the job at hand, but more often than not, we are looking for skills outside of the specific job description creativity, collaboration and problem-solving to name a few. For these skills to be exercised on a regular basis, we need someone who will not only seek out challenging tasks, but wrestle with them until they have been accomplished. This skill is often referred to as grit. As the community continues to debate the role of the ATAR and its accuracy in matching university courses with appropriate undergraduates, the question remains of whether the ATAR reflects this vital ingredient integral to a successful life. In her book titled - Grit, Angela Duckwork states that grit is the combination of perseverance and passion. Further support of this comes from educationalist Dylan Wiliam, who postulates that ‘perseverance’ is innate and can only be marginally modified; 50 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
whereas passion is highly malleable. This notion suggests that if grit is a highly soughtafter skill and we want to take it on an upward trend, it is imperative that we seek out passion. Even if we are innately ‘relaxed’, if we find something that really sparks our interest, there is a chance of ramping up Duckworth’s ‘grit quotient’. Grittier people are more likely to seek out and stick at challenging tasks. At CGS, students have the opportunity to explore passions inside and outside the
classroom. Walking around the campus on Open Day, witnessing the broader community working hard to highlight all that our school has to offer, was a reminder that it is not only the students who are doing the exploring. Staff, parents and Old Boys all put their passion to play; whether it be coaching a team, running the Towards2050 Sustainability Group or cooking a snag for the Friends of Snowsports. Together, our community exercises their passion and by doing so, they generate more opportunities for our

students to find theirs. We are indeed fortunate to coexist in a community that facilitates and fosters ‘grit’. In this section of the Grammarian you will read about the exciting Middle School activities that took place in 2019. This year, many students will have explored activities for the very first time. Some will become part of their ‘life’, whilst there may be some that they may never try again. We have considered Mark Twain’s quote on several occasions throughout the year, that in “twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.” Whether it be horse riding or sailing, seeking support in maths, travelling overseas or a shot at debating; the
important part is that students have had the opportunity to say, “I tried that at school”. For me, that is where passion lies. Knowing that there can always be growth and if we can become passionate about that, we are more likely to persevere at all tasks, not just those that we are passionate about. Easier said than done; but I am grateful to work in a community that shares the vision to foster perseverance and passion in our students, and in doing so, enabling the prospect for them to become grittier contributors to society. We are all incredibly grateful for the efforts of all the Middle School teachers who take on a critical role in the academic development of our students during such formative years. In particular I would like to acknowledge the role that the Form Teachers take in the

HIGHLIGHTS Year 6 Maths Games Day MIDDLE SCHOOL
With more than 35 teams competing from 20 schools in the annual Year 6 Maths Games Day at Genazzano, the boys were keen to be active participants. Students were placed in school teams with four representatives in each team. Our two teams were randomly selected, and the first team consisted of Ethan Tran, Ashwin Lagana, Nicholas Wang and Ethan Lau who were among the top six teams throughout the day. The boys had no idea that results were being tallied for an overall winner from the entire day. Our first team up held our CGS values and were very respectful of being on the leader board. However, at the end of the day our second team which consisted of Kye Yoshimura, Austin Dai, Ross Armstrong and Christopher Khong won the overall event. As we walked back to school in the rain with each student under an individual umbrella not at one stage did the students talk about the win and more than anything else, they discussed the type of questions they were asked as a group. Well done to all the students involved and it was a wonderful reflection of the type of gentlemen Camberwell Grammar students are. Mr Dominic McLaughlin Teacher in Charge

Year 8 Mentoring MIDDLE SCHOOL
Every Tuesday morning during Form Period a group of volunteer Middle School students go to the junior school and help the students with Mathematics and English. There were ten Year 8 students that were put into groups of two and would work with Junior School students. Each pair would work through some problems with the younger students, assisting them with their reading and writing. Overall, it was a great experience and is something I would highly recommend to the incoming Year 8 students. Jimmy Devine Year 8
Learning Of course, we spend a bit of time in the classroom - and in the laboratories, on the musical and theatrical stages, on sporting fields, in the pool, the Art rooms and online. We have excursions to explore the wider world and experts who come to talk with us about their areas of expertise, on topics relevant to students in the middle years. We are a close-knit learning community. Students support each other, reflect on their own learning, and work with teachers to identify strengths and achievements, clarify areas for improvement, and strategise ways to move ahead.

Debating MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Year 8 Inter-Form and Inter-School Debating season once again proved to be a very successful activity. All Year 8 students learnt debating skills and participated in a formally assessed debate. The Year 8 Inter-Form Debating Grand Final was performed on Open Day between 8R and 8B in a high standard debate regarding the expansion of Nuclear energy in Australia. The 8R team of Oliver To, Joshua Hui and Cooper Carbone narrowly defeated 8B which included James Reichmann, Alan Tian and Ravin Desai. The DAV Junior Secondary Inter-School Debating Competition, hosted by CGS for the fourth year running, was a tremendous success. Record student participation rates made for a very popular and exciting competition. Year 7 and 8 boys worked co-operatively in teams to research topics, prepare arguments and counter-arguments and to hone their rhetorical skills. Thank you very much to all staff and students who supported and contributed to this exciting and enriching endeavour. Mr Peter Robinson Debating Coordinator

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM Year 8 Outdoor Education ROWING For three weeks in Term 3 (weeks 5-8) Year 8 participated in a range of outdoor activities from horse riding to rock climbing. These took place in last three periods of every Friday, with a full day on the last Friday. I and about 20 others chose rowing as our activity. During the three weeks we learnt the two ‘forms’ of rowing; sculling and sweep rowing. Sculling involves one-person rowing with two oars and sweep rowing involves just one oar per rower. For the first two weeks, crews of four people alternated between the two styles, learning both. For the full and final day, we rowed using our favourite method. There were five boats in total, four of them scull and one sweep. We started off practicing our method out on the water, learning how to keep in time with each other and practicing our stroke. In the afternoon we did a bit of practise, but races quickly developed between the various crews. The sweep crew won against every boat, and many other crews also enjoyed great wins and losses. However, the final race was unfortunately cancelled due to a sudden, and torrential downpour. Luckily a few of us made it inside before it started but those who were a bit later got completely soaked. All-in-all it was a great three weeks, in which we all learnt a great deal. I would like to thank Sue and the rest of our instructors for providing such an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable course. Patrick Homes

“During the three weeks we learnt the two ‘forms’ of rowing; sculling and sweep rowing.”
“It was surprising how well the horses managed with us, since almost all of us were new to this experience.”
Outdoor education was one of the many opportunities given to Year 8 students to get out of their comfort zone and try something new. One of these activities was horse riding, and learning how to interact with a horse was truly a new challenge for most of us, maybe it was even a bit scary meeting these animals who had their own minds. As we arrived, we were assigned horses to ride and we quickly learnt how to walk and steer them. It was surprising how well the horses managed with us, since almost all of us were new to this experience and didn’t really know how to handle them at all. Besides learning how to ride the horse, we also learnt how to look after them as well as doing work on the farm. The last day of horse riding went for the full day and included a trail run around the property where we could take our horses out into the forest, walking over hills and through puddles. Overall this experience has been absolutely amazing, and I think every boy in the horse riding group has learnt another skill at their time at Camberwell Grammar School. Thomas Rigby

SAILING
VALUES ASSEMBLY
YEAR 8 SOCIAL
On 6 September, Mr Tierney and a group of boys travelled to Albert Park Lake for a day of sailing. The weather forecast was predicting 95% chance of rain, but they were clearly wrong. In the morning, it was sunny with a slight breeze. I’m not an expert sailor, but the weather appeared to be pristine conditions for sailing. Many of the boys took very sharp turns, almost capsizing, but thankfully everyone came back to shore, dry for our lunch break. The afternoon had arrived along with dark grey, miserable clouds. We got back out on the boats and bizarrely, there was no wind. No one was going anywhere for some time and everyone was getting frustrated. We were trying to go around a small island and suddenly, the wind picked up along with a downfall of rain. The instructors came to the rescue as we were in the midst of a storm! At the end of the day, we learnt what a tack was (a push turn) and a gybe (a pull turn). Overall, the boys and I had a great sailing experience.
As part of the Personal and Social Development (PSD) course, Mr Zagarn has established a Values Assembly in Semester 1 and 2 as a component of the PSD Curriculum. These assemblies provide an opportunity for boys to highlight examples of their mates ‘living’ the school values. Semester 2 examples included: Hayden Bourke (8T) helping a Year 7 boy up the stairs with his cello, full school bag, cricket kit and sports bag: Nathan Leung (8M) who showed optimism coming back from a broken leg and Flynn Helmer who plucked up the courage to get the dance floor moving at the Year 8 Social.
On Friday 25 October the Year 8 cohort came together for the Year 8 Social. Surrounding girls’ schools Camberwell Girls, Fintona Girls and Presbyterian Ladies College joined our Year 8’s on the PAC stage. The Year 8 Social was well executed by Mr Tierney in his 20th and final year of organising the event. Students enjoyed a night of dancing, food and meeting new people. The profits raised exceeded $4,000. All of this money was donated to charity ‘Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision’, for research on bone marrow failure.

SENIOR SCHOOL REPORT I had the opportunity recently to sit down with one of our Year 10 boys to ask him about a day in his life at school. The young man in question looked thoughtful before telling me that, upon reflection, most days are ‘pretty busy’. He picked the previous day and ran me through a range of activities, starting with an early morning running and gym session with a small team of middle distance runners, in preparation for the upcoming AGSV Athletics Carnival. After a quick change and breakfast, he tackled a Science test on Electronics in period 1 (tricky but ok) and enjoyed working with a small team in History to produce their own documentary on events in the Second World War. Recess was time to catch up with friends and enjoy a leisurely chat in the amphitheatre. Information Technology and the building of his robot was the highlight after recess before he headed off to rehearse with the orchestra at lunchtime. With the School Concert approaching, he noticed an extra buzz during rehearsals as things were fine-tuned in readiness for the big night.
64 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
After lunch his class delved into the themes contained in Into the Wild in English before taking on Polynomial Long Division in Maths. After school there was time for a pre-packed afternoon tea and quick kick of a ball on the oval before catching up with his debating team that was in the midst of preparing for the finals of the DAV competition. He then met his parents at school for the final predeparture meeting of the Space Camp touring group. Our Year 10 lad in question admitted to being tired at the end of each day but insisted that the best thing about school was the ‘fun he had being involved in a whole range of activities.’ As well as being fun, these activities are also providing him with wonderful opportunities to learn and develop a broad range of skills. As the workforce continues to evolve and employers seek graduates with diverse skill sets, such varied subjects and activities are proving instrumental in nurturing these much sought after skills.
I also suggest that his involvement in all of these co-curricular activities will be what this young man remembers most about his school days in years to come. This year has seen many highlights in Senior School and I once again thank the boys for their enthusiasm and willingness to get involved, as well as my colleagues in Senior School, who work tirelessly to provide so many opportunities for the boys. House Music, with the added challenge that one song had to be in a language other than English, provided an early highlight and the cast of Hamlet did a remarkable job bringing Shakespeare’s classic to life with their own unique interpretation. Both the Mid-Year Concert and School Concert in September proved to be incredible nights, and occasions when it was hard to believe that we were watching school-age children in action as opposed to far more experienced performers.
well beyond the classroom and I thank the group who brought a sense of fun to all staff involved in planning and coordinating occasions. They leave CGS with our very these expeditions. best wishes for the future.
In a year that we launched our five key values: Learning, Respect, Integrity, Courage and Optimism, there have been many examples where these have been lived out and exhibited by the boys. I commend them for the manner with which they support each other, look after each other and respect each other.

On the sports field it was great to see Table Tennis, Lawn Bowls and Badminton win premierships. It was also great to witness our strong school spirit as busloads of spectators headed to PEGS and Trinity to watch our soccer and hockey teams play off in grand finals. The voluntary Spring season was another success with our Water Polo and Athletics squads producing several excellent results during their short but intense seasons. Overall, the level of involvement was outstanding, and I congratulate all of the boys who participated with such enthusiasm across the three seasons of sport.

VALEDICTORY SERVICE
SENIOR SCHOOL
This is an edited version of the speech given to the Leavers of 2019 by the Headmaster, Dr Paul Hicks, at the Leavers’ Service in St Mark’s Church. I recently watched a tremendous drama on Netflix called Chernobyl. It examined the causes and the impact of one of the worst ever nuclear disasters, at the Number 4 nuclear reactor at Chernobyl in 1986. The accident occurred during a safety test which had gone wrong on a number of different levels. The test had been delayed, so the crew on duty were not the crew which had actually prepared for the test; the supervisor failed to follow proper procedure; and some of the safety features had been disabled. As a result, the core exploded, resulting in radioactive contamination being released into the atmosphere and leading to an unknown number of deaths and cancers for people who had been exposed to radiation. Eventually, a 30 kilometre exclusion zone was established around the plant necessitating the evacuation of over 100,000 people. It is estimated that over 200,000 square kilometres were affected by the radiation. Nuclear clean-up is still occurring in the area and is not scheduled to be completed until 2065 – at the earliest. The site will remain unsafe forever. It was an extraordinary disaster which resulted in great tragedy. In the first episode, which picks up the story just as the explosion occurs, I was struck by the way the show represented the response of the people in the control room immediately following the explosion. When a staff member bursts into the room and declares that the reactor had exploded, the supervisor, Dyatlov, responds ‘He’s in shock – get him out of here’. When the worker insists – “I saw it” – Dyatlov responds that the worker is confused. He argues that what he is being told is “physically impossible. A core can’t explode.” The explosion had to be a tank. Later, another worker reports that he had seen graphite in the yard beside the reactor. Dyatlov again claims the worker is mistaken. “You made a mistake”, he says, the worker could not have seen graphite in the yard, because the only way there could have been graphite in the yard would be if the reactor had exploded, and it was impossible that the reactor had exploded.” Of course, the reactor had exploded, but Dyatlov could not conceive that this may have happened. His beliefs about the way 70 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
that the reactor worked were so firmly entrenched that he could not contemplate any alternative, even in the face of physical evidence. His beliefs were so strong, that he could not let go of them to see reality. And as a consequence, an early response to the crisis was delayed and its extent was underestimated. Indeed, the actions they did take ultimately – getting water into the area, which would have been the right thing to do if the reactor had not exploded – made the situation worse. How can what we believe keep us from seeing the truth? It would be tempting to think that Dyatlov was just a foolish and stubborn man, whose pride did not allow him to recognise the truth. But in reality, we all do this – as a species we hang on very firmly to our beliefs, and we really struggle to accept that we might be wrong. Augustine, a Christian thinker and philosopher, writing twelve hundred years before Descartes coined his famous phrase, argued “fallor ergo sum”: I err, therefore I am. Augustine argued that making mistakes is part of being human. We all make mistakes, and not recognising our mistakes is part of the deal. History is littered with examples. Malcolm Gladwell’s excellent podcast series, Revisionist History, gives just one. In 2009, a man phoned 911 to report that the accelerator pedal in his rental Toyota was stuck and he couldn’t get the car to stop. He said his brakes weren’t working. The call was recorded, and it is harrowing, because ultimately, his car crashed and plunged into a ravine. Everyone inside the vehicle was killed.
The 911 call went viral, and the scandal broke wide open. Over the next five years, an estimated 90 people died in Toyotas that mysteriously accelerated. Toyota recalled millions of vehicles but was accused of concealing information about the flawed pedals. In 2014, the company paid $1.2 billion to avoid prosecution for covering up information about problems with “unintended acceleration” that the FBI said Toyota “knew was deadly.” They also paid out over a billion dollars to settle a class action by owners of the affected cars. At the time, two theories emerged to explain why these pedals suddenly had minds of their own. One involved software malfunctions, while the other blamed floor mats that slid around and pinned the pedals down. But neither of those theories hold up, because multiple tests have shown that even when a driver is pushing the throttle to the floor, hitting the brakes will stop the car. In a contest between brakes and engine, brakes always win. The real culprit? Human error. More often than not, drivers who reported that their accelerators were stuck were inadvertently flooring it and thinking they were pressing the brakes.
In 1650 England was engulfed in a terrible Civil War. Charles I, a Scot, had been unable to accept the idea of a Parliamentary Democracy, and had been executed for treason in 1649. Cromwell’s English Army fought Scotland in 1650, who wished to install Charles II, another Scot, on the throne. Cromwell led his army to face the Scottish forces, led by David Leslie, at Dunbar. Leslie barricaded his troops behind strong defensive works, and disrupted the English supply lines, putting Cromwell in a precarious position. He believed they had the upper hand and he thought that he was on the verge of And this wrong thinking is not just a a great victory. He would not negotiate modern phenomenon. Let me give you one a settlement with Cromwell, because he more example. was convinced he would win any battle. Cromwell wrote to the Scottish leaders:
‘I beseech thee in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you might be mistaken.” They were. The Battle of Dunbar turned into a rout, with Cromwell’s army slaughtering the Scots. The thing about each of the examples I have shared with you tonight is that in each case the disaster happened not because the individuals concerned were wrong. The disasters happened because the individuals concerned were unable to recognise that they were wrong – and so were unable to change their behaviour in a way which may have led to a solution. And it’s not just because we are stubborn. Humans find it really difficult to know when

Data from many of the “black boxes” from cars involved in incidents of unintended acceleration showed that in most cases, the brakes were never even touched. It seems that people can lose our sense of our limbs in circumstances of extreme stress – so in many of these cases, the drivers thought that they had their foot planted firmly on the brakes, but in fact, were standing on the accelerator. It seems that the people in those accidents were so certain that they were right, that the only explanation they could think of involved blaming the car.

we are wrong. Why? Kathryn Schulz, an American journalist who has written a book called Being Wrong explores this subject. As part of her research she asked a number of people to describe what it felt like to be wrong. The answers were pretty much as we would expect; it feels uncomfortable, it makes you feel foolish, and silly, it makes you squirm. But that’s not what it feels like to be wrong, that’s what it feels like to discover that you are wrong. The reason that it is so difficult for us to recognise when we are wrong is that when we are actually in the midst of being wrong, before we are convinced of our error, being wrong feels exactly like being right. You may be too young to remember the Roadrunner cartoons (your parents may) – in them a hapless Coyote chases a pretty obnoxious and smug Roadrunner all over desert, never catching him, and always ending up squashed or blown up or bashed. In one famous set piece in the series the Coyote follows the roadrunner over the edge of a cliff – the roadrunner is so fast, he crosses to the other side of the canyon, but the poor Coyote keeps running for a while, then realizes he has left solid

land, he looks at the camera, and then and only then he plunges to the bottom of the chasm. At the start of the crossing across mid-air, before he realises his mistake, when he is in the very midst of his wrongness, he is able to keep going – that’s like us when we are wrong, but before we realise that we are wrong; it is only when he realises his mistake that he stops and falls. So, if being wrong feels just like being right, it is really hard to recognise. Shultz calls this ‘error blindness’, and pushes it a little further – when we are wrong, we cannot recognise our error, or we would fix it, so unless we are very bloody-minded, or unless we deliberately set out to deceive, we cannot be wrong and know that we are wrong – we can never say I am wrong, we can only say I was wrong. We can either be wrong, or we can know it, but we can’t do both at the same time. And yet, we so often treat discovering that we were wrong as a major catastrophe. We feel sick, embarrassed, diminished by the discovery of our mistakes. My message to you – and perhaps it is a little strange coming at the end of thirteen or fourteen years of schooling and trying
to teach you all manner of things, teaching you to be right – is to recognise that you will be wrong in your lives from time to time. More importantly, I encourage you to be alert to that possibility and to embrace the humility which invites you to think that you might be wrong. Being open to the possibility of error leads us to question our judgement in a healthy way. It leaves us open to new ideas and other ways of doing things. Error helps us to see things differently, and if we are open to it, to learn new things. My hope for you as you leave school and head off into the world with all of the education you have so far, is that you will always think it possible that you might be wrong, and when you are wrong I hope that you will be prepared to recognise your error and take whatever steps you need to, to make it right. May the Lord bless you and keep you; and make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

call it statutory negligence. Either way, such displays of ‘tough love’ were not uncommon then. Perhaps people were more trusting or naïve. Still, I had a great time. St Kilda won their first and only premiership by a point, while Collingwood lost by one, perhaps for the first but certainly not for the last time.

You are the original CGS millennials. All 171 of you. And as Registrar I had the rare privilege of enrolling all of you. Most of you probably first came to the school to hear Dr Hicks and have a tour. I was there too and spoke
to you about enrolment. At this point some parents might be having a flashback – yes, that’s where I’ve seen that guy before. So, I’ve sifted through the records of the Registrar’s Office and conducted a forensic audit to compile a record of your time with us. While Dr Hicks and I are less keen to use the well-worn term ‘the journey’ to describe the duration of your time here, it does sound a bit friendlier than ‘educational pathway’.

Teaching Year 12 I was at CGS before I became the Registrar and fortunately I’ve been able to continue teaching my Year 12 Economics class since then. This year was my 34th and final class. And if my group is anything to go by then you must be a pretty good year group overall. In addition to being a talented class, my class ECO3 has also been highly amusing and a pleasure to teach. But I do need to apologise to a few of you: Aiden, I’m sorry it took me until August to stop calling you Ethan.

You seem to be a lot nicer to each other and to your teachers nowadays. Well, most of you are. Some Heads of House might be gritting their teeth at that suggestion but I think it’s generally the case.

Sam, thank you for asking me every day if it was my birthday and no we can’t have a class party. And Chris, I did appreciate your daily interest in what I had for dinner but I still don’t know why you wanted to know. I have indeed been lucky to finish with such a fantastic class and I’m not just saying that because they laughed at some of my jokes or were they laughing at me?
As an example, back when I started, I could not have conceived of students thanking me at the end of a class but you do it regularly. Long may it continue. Mind you I think we are now nicer to you because somewhere along the line educational theorists realised students would learn more in a co-operative environment than a contested one. Funnily enough, that seems to work.
As our first millennials you also present as more philanthropic, inclusive, tolerant, and environmentally aware and these are undeniably good things. Very good things. Either way I’ve enjoyed the year immensely. So is your unbridled enthusiasm which is infectious and your energy, properly channelled, can be positively inspirational. Farewell

Oliver, I still don’t know why I called you Alistair but you were very forgiving.
This has been a challenging year for all of us that has run the full gamut of emotions tinged as it has been by sadness and surprise.
Leon, we acknowledge your mother for buying your scarves and confirming your status as a cult hero.
I won’t offer you advice about the future as I’m sure you’re receiving lots of that anyway. However, I would like to make some observations about you as a group compared to the era in which I first started.
There is a poignancy to being here tonight because it won’t be quite like this again. Many of you appreciate that but for some of you, the full impact won’t register until later. School and results are not the be-all and end-all. They do not define you but so far the school has occupied two thirds. of your life. You are soon to discover how much excitement life holds for you outside of school. However, here and now and altogether let’s celebrate the moment.

TOAST TO THE SCHOOL
SENIOR SCHOOL
This is an edited speech delivered at the Year 12 Leavers’ Dinner by Jack Amling, School Captain. I just want to start by saying congratulations, we did it, we have finished school, the class of 2019. Yes, we still have exams, but we don’t have to go to classes. For 13 or so years, that’s all we’ve done, five days a week, 8:30am to 3:30pm with a few weeks holiday here and there and just like that… it’s over, 3/4 of our short lives, done. And with this comes a lot more freedom, but I know this freedom comes with not being able to see you boys, my peers, all the time.
Despite the abundance of primary school friends, I still branched out from that group and met some of my best friends that I know I’ll still be close to many years down the road. This was solidified in amazing, unforgettable experiences like Lord Somers Camp and the Civics and Citizenship Week where we had more excursions in a week than we’ve had this year. These events we enjoyed together helped build those lasting friendships, both between the teachers and the students, and formed the foundations of our time at the school as a cohort.
Then came Year 8 which was a level up in terms of the number of stairs we had to climb, and the responsibility placed on us. Anyway, let’s rewind the clock a bit. I came We got our first taste of leadership being to CGS in Year 7, much like a lot of the House Captains, mused over Mr Burke’s boys here. This was my first year back in weekly quotes, followed by laughing at Australia, after spending 3.5 years in New Mr Schwab’s hilarious jokes. We learnt Jersey, USA. I hadn’t seen any of the boys what it was to be a gentleman when Billy from Canterbury Primary School in a while and Becky G, the AFL trainees that year, and hadn’t met any of the people in my went around and attempted to teach us class at the orientation day, so I wasn’t sure how to talk to girls so that we weren’t a total how I’d fit back in. Having the same feelings disaster at the social at the end of the year. of trepidation as a lot of you may have had. We then had Year 8 Camp, and although not many, if any of us enjoyed the hiking, we I headed to Mr Stein’s classroom in got to know our Heads of House and the A25, and there I saw about ten of the student leaders for the next year and this Canterbury Primary kids I’d grown up with, and they welcomed me as if I’d never aided our transition into Senior School. left all those years ago.

new students. People started to figure out what they wanted to do both later in life, and more directly, what they wanted to do in Year 11 and 12. As a year level, we’ve battled on the music stands, on the acting stage, across a room about current issues, across a chessboard and on the sports field. But we’ve also done so much more together. We’ve sat through Paul Dillon talks, raised money for a vast amount of causes and travelled around the world and Australia on camps and tours. We’ve gotten a taste of the workforce together, gotten to know teachers and each other better, building upon those friendships formed in Middle School into ones that will last a lifetime. Finally, we made it to Year 12. We were at the place in the school that we’d looked up to since we started here. This time we truly had the highest level of responsibility, being role models and leaders to those in the younger year levels. Whilst we congratulate ourselves on making it to this point tonight, we have been helped along the way by many different groups of people. Firstly, to the parent representatives for our year who have been supporting both us boys and our parents since Year 7. These mothers have organised various events to keep our parents sane while we go through Camberwell Grammar School, some of them have been doing so since 2014. Also, I’d like to mention all of those parents who help with the other Parents’ Association initiatives such as the ‘Friends of’ and Auxiliary. These parents have created a community for both the students, with BBQs and season launches, and for the parents making it enjoyable for them too. So, thank you for your time and effort and helping us get to this point. Next, I would like to recognise the teachers, who put in long hours marking our extra work, helped to coach us on Saturday

I’d like to thank Mrs Elliott, Ms Sangster, Ms Booth and Mrs Carbone who all did and still do so much work behind the scenes to make nights like these, assemblies and the formal come together as perfectly as they do. Mr Jones and Dr Smith, thank you for looking after our VCE subjects, making sure we got all the considerations we needed, we knew what subjects we were doing and that we never missed a SAC even when we wanted to. I’d like to personally thank Dr Hicks and Mr French for giving me this amazing opportunity this year, for helping everyone here by encouraging us and providing guidance to us.
But there are two teachers I want to mention specifically, Mr Williams and Ms Davies. These two teachers were some of the best in the business, always optimistic, always supportive and always happy to have a chat. And on behalf of all of us boys, I want to say thank you for helping us get to this point in our schooling career as better men and that we will miss you both dearly.
Thanks to you boys, who have been an amazing group of people to be around for the last six years. There’s a part
in the school song where it says that “we’ll look on one another as a comrade and a brother”. In Year 7, I didn’t really get this phrase and how I could ever feel like that towards my peers, but throughout these last years and especially now, I feel it with you boys. Together we have helped each other make it to the end of Year 12 and I know we’ll continue to support each other throughout the rest of our lives. Finally I want to thank the people that have been there from day 1, from the start, the people that love us boys unconditionally no matter how we go in school, or how many points we score on a Saturday, the people that drive us where we need to go and who support us in any and all situations. The parents. You’ve always been in our
I would also like to mention our Heads of House. You’ve all gotten to know us since the end of Year 8, and you’ve been tasked with putting up with all our good and bad for these past four years. You’ve defended us, encouraged us, reeled us in when we needed and now you’ve said goodbye. You’ve made each of our Houses something to be proud of and I’m not sure how we’ll manage our futures without it. We thank you for putting up with our shenanigans, as well as being role model leaders for us boys to aspire to.

sport and to make sure we got fed on camps. They didn’t just teach us Maths and English, they taught us life skills. It has been said that as we progress from Year 7 to Year 12, that we become closer to our teachers. And over the years they’ve become more than a teacher; our teachers have become our mentors, some of our greatest supporters and I hazard to say, even our friends. Our teachers have done amazing things to inspire us. And along with their continuous encouragement and optimism we’ve been able to achieve great things during our time at school with even greater things on the horizon.

It is with much sadness that the Unit notes the passing of CAPT (AAC) Mark Williams OAM. CAPT (AAC) Williams joined the Unit upon his appointment to the teaching staff of the school in February 1997 and soon proved himself an invaluable staff member, particularly for field-based activities. Working predominantly with senior cadets, he was adept at facilitating activities that provided both a challenging yet supportive environment. His initiative and problem-solving skills, underpinned by his ‘can do attitude’ became legendary. He will be sorely missed. In recognition of his significant contribution to the Unit, cadets wearing ceremonial uniform formed a guard of honour at his memorial service in the PAC on Tuesday 23 July.

DEBATING
SENIOR SCHOOL
The year began with the House debating tournament, in which each House was represented by four teams across Years 9-12. A significant portion of Senior School was involved in this competition, which ran at lunch times over several weeks. Many of the older students also put their time into coaching younger year levels, and for the first time we had Year 12s and Old Boys adjudicating the competition. In the end, Macneil went undefeated across Year 11/12 and Robinson won the Year 9/10 division, but Bridgland’s consistency across the board resulted in them being declared champions for the second consecutive year. The school continues to host one of the largest regional rounds of the largest English-speaking debating competition in the world. In the Debater’s Association of Victoria competition around 120 students debated relentlessly across five rounds spread out through the year. In the end, the Year 12 team of Lachlan Doig, Ben Finney, James Gunasegaram, Rory Lewis, Oliver Papillo and Edward Wu and the Year 11 team of Philip Alex, Tory Crosgrove, Jamie Garnham, Rohan Hodges and Thomas Ng both won their divisions and qualified for the State Finals. At the time of writing, both teams have won their first two knockout rounds and are in the Quarter Finals of their respective competitions. Andrew Zeng was also awarded a Swannie award for best speaker in the region.

SENIOR SCHOOL The Gladwyn Cup model UN Competition simulated international diplomacy, with teams of two from Years 9-12 representing a country and arguing for their national interests on a variety of topics. There was great participation from younger year levels, many interesting costumes were worn on the day, and debate was at a high standard over all three resolutions. In the end, Oliver Papillo and Lachlan Doig were victorious as the USA, with James Gunasegaram and Andrew Zeng (France) second and Rory Lewis and Alexander Seidler (UK) third.
The Evatt Cup took the same sort of model diplomacy to an interschool level. Many Camberwell teams made it through the first round to the State Semi-Finals, and three teams (Oliver Papillo and Lachlan Doig, James Gunasegaram and Andrew Zeng, Rory Lewis and Alexander Seidler) made the State Finals. All teams did very well throughout the competition, and in the end Oliver Papillo and Lachlan Doig came third and qualified for the National Finals. Rohan Hodges and Tory Crosgrove were also successful in making the Finals of the DAV British Parliamentary Competition.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
ECHO
Work Experience
Now in its second year, the newfashioned ECHO, was led by the team of James Gunasegaram, Captain of Publications and his assistant, Thomas Coulter. Both have prospered in the experience and interest when it comes to the production of paper-based media, an art that has become so because it is dying with the ever expanding, invasive and engulfing jaws of technology. So, in assembling, cutting and pasting, interviewing and photographing, the interests of the students here at Camberwell Grammar School have once again been exposed and shared. In emulating the production values of the first editions of the newly named ECHO, this year’s installments have been slicker, and under James’ modest, yet perceptive eye, crisper, the writing brief and the tone, measured. One could be forgiven for asking if cynicism and sarcasm (often confused states of standard expression) that were once the hallmark of the former ROTE, have finally been laid to rest.
Once again, our Year 10 boys undertook work experience in the first week of June. As usual their experiences were wide and varied, with the keenest securing the best placements early, and some tail enders taking what they could get. We had boys at airports, hospitals, primary schools, architectural firms, recording studios, veterinary clinics, accountancy firms, pharmacies, sport centres, rehabilitation clinics, retail stores and so forth.
Thanks to James and Thomas for putting together editions that have sparkled, and that have, in turn, provided the Student Body with an opportunity to be creative in questioning what is the world for them, Camberwell Grammar School. The opportunity of publishing one’s work should never be underestimated, only encouraged.
Mrs Lynette Reiger Careers Counsellor
In saying this, myself and the boys would like to thank the Head of Senior School, Mr. French with the final word on what whirls and what wanes prior to publication. Until next year. Mr Vincenzo Piscioneri Teacher in Charge
It was fabulous to visit some in the workplace and witness the maturity and confidence not always evident at school. Many employers commented on how impressed they were with our students; their obvious interest, initiative and, at times, exceptional skill level for their age. The boys learnt a great deal about the workplace and themselves, their abilities and their limitations, with some already sensing the future that lies ahead of them.
Inter-School Chess Camberwell Grammar School’s participation in Chess Australia’s Victorian Schools’ State Championship in October was as a result of a number of very creditable performances throughout the year at regional tournaments at Marcellin College, Brighton Grammar School and Scotch College. A team of 14 chess players from Years 5 to 12 competed well throughout the Championships to finish third in Victoria. Chess Captain Oliver Papillo was
awarded the newly created perpetual School Prize for Chess donated by Mr Irwin Hau (OC), in honour of his father and the joy he gained from playing Chess during his time as a student. Mr Paul Double Teacher in Charge
Rotary Interact Club Strong interest from a hard core of 25 students in Years 9 to 12 resulted in the School’s Rotary Interact Club donating two cheques for $6,000 each to the Club’s two charities: ‘Operation Toilets’ and ‘Ready Settle Go’. Barbecues, movie nights, a casual dress day, and a stall at Open Day selling Krispy Kreme Doughnuts enabled the Club to reach out beyond the School and assist those in need both internationally (India) and locally assisting in the successful resettlement of refugees into their new homes in Melbourne. The Club committee acknowledges its link with our parent Club the Rotary Club of Canterbury and the wonderful support given by Mrs Anne Josefsberg the New Generations office bearer. Club office bearers this year were: Benjamin Finney (President), James Gunasegaram and Ryan Box (Vice Presidents), Oliver Papillo (Secretary), Lachlan Doig (Treasurer), Aidan Harris (Social Media and Membership) and Ian Kaharudin (Prefect for Faith and Social Justice.)

We value each one of them, and congratulate them all. I congratulate those of our students who have done well, I commiserate with those who may be feeling disappointed, but I encourage both groups to keep these results in perspective. This is just one day in a long journey still to come. There is a world of opportunity ahead for all of these young men. Whilst celebrating these great results we should also pause to remember two great VCE teachers who left us earlier this year. I know that Ms Suzan Davies and Mr Mark Williams would have been very proud of their students today. 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 2019 on their excellent results. It is pleasing to see that their hard work has been rewarded so generously. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster
MUSIC
MUSIC
JUNIOR SCHOOL MUSIC
Enter with singing, enter with song Let us lift up each voice in praise and rejoice And together we’ll be in true harmony, united in jubilation. These uplifting words, sung by the Chamber Singers to open our Easter Service at St Mark’s, give a true reflection of music as it touches the daily life of every boy in Junior School. From the first assembly song to the thrilling mass singing that closes the Christmas Service and our school year, singing is an integral part of the culture of Junior School. Our music program has flourished in the classroom through singing, moving, playing, creating and listening, supporting our strong co-curricular program.
Junior School Choir This group has been strong with a membership of over 60 boys in Years 4 and 5. Leading the singing at our Easter service at St Mark’s, they produced a fine sound as they sang For Everything There is a Season. At the May Concert, the Choir’s repertoire expanded in style with the entertaining Cicada Song complete with intricate body percussion and the lyrical Clever Chameleon. In September, the boys loved performing the beautiful song The Dream Keeper. Term 4 performances included Open Day, Grandparents’ Day with several boys singing beautiful solos in Just One Person 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.
Chamber Singers Chamber Singers began their year with a rousing Enter with Singing and the lovely Irish Blessing at the Easter Service. In May, this fine group of 23 young voices captured the humour in the challenging Chicken On A Fencepost. At the September Concert, the contrasting Walking In The Air was beautifully sung. A spoken piece Doubletalk and jazz style Three Blind Mice were fun to sing before focusing on Christmas repertoire. Our fine accompanist, Mr Mark Kerr, supports the musicality of this choral ensemble.

With Mrs Fry’s musical inspiration and Mr Bishop’s wonderful accompanying, the young singers of Years 2 and 3 have enjoyed learning many songs for performances at assembly, Open Day and the Easter and Christmas Services at St Mark’s. Their performance at the September Concert was a highlight as they performed Tongo and I Just Can’t Wait To
Be King to an enchanted audience. These fresh young voices are a delight with their enthusiasm and energy for clear diction in entertaining songs and beautiful sound when reflective and thoughtful.
Junior School Orchestra This group was delighted to welcome Ms Suying Aw as conductor this year. Assisted by Mr Simon Meighan, the Orchestra has performed a varied program throughout the year. Fiddlin’ in Aberdeen and Battle at the Great Wall were the pieces presented at the May Concert. With additional players joining the Orchestra in June, they performed Tango Time and the Chilli Salsa at the School Concert. After Open Day, the Orchestra ranks grew once again to prepare the Term 4 program including Lean On Me and Secret Agent Sugar Plum for the final Ensemble Soirée. A highlight of the year has been to welcome Andrew Zeng as Year 12 mentor. As a violinist, Andrew was a fine member of this String Orchestra when
a Junior School student and his skills on violin, as piano accompanist and his leadership have been invaluable. With healthy numbers in violin, viola, cello and double bass, it is always very satisfying to see these young string players develop technically throughout the year.
String Ensemble The 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 comprising young upper string players has learnt many pieces. This group is always eager to play at assemblies, soirées, concerts and Open Day as they develop their instrumental expertise and confidence.

Middle School Orchestra
Middle School Stage Band
The Middle School Orchestra is one of Camberwell Grammar School’s biggest ensembles. It has been an amazing year for the orchestra, performing in many concerts and worked on various pieces like Wonder Women conducted by Mr Kerr, and the Nutcracker, by Ms Atkinson, which were both very difficult pieces never before seen. But thanks to the amazing work and effort put in by the members of the Orchestra, we were able to perform these pieces on stage flawlessly. This year also saw some changes with Ms Atkinson from the MSO coming to our school as one of the new conductors. She has helped us greatly to improve our orchestra techniques and has introduced us to many new things such as the music academy which works to improve our skills. It has been a truly wonderful year for the Middle School Orchestra.
The Middle School Stage Band, overseen by the brilliant Ms Wostry, performs in many of the CGS events held throughout the year. Traditional events include Open Day, Father’s Day and Mother’s Day Breakfasts, MidYear Concert and the September Concert. The Mother’s and Father’s Day Concerts are particularly special because the Junior School parents get to see how their own children may progress when they get to Middle School, and while it is a very early start to the day, the performers get the bonus of a free hot breakfast as well. The Mid-Year Concert was a success and included a solo performed by Matthieu Gibert on tenor saxophone and the climatic end of the year’s September Concert featured a solo from Liam McCarthy on the baritone saxophone. A huge thank you to Ms Wostry for her constant encouragement and conducting the boys in their musical education and performances throughout 2019.

Angliss Strings
The Middle School Concert Band have enjoyed a fruitful 2019. Led by our fabulous conductors, Mr Kerr and Ms Wostry, the band this year have played many enjoyable pieces, such as Lightspeed and The Forgotten Village in Semester One, and Gadget and Aladdin in Semester Two. The band has been incredibly disciplined in rehearsals, and it showed when it came to the performances where everybody tried their best and played fantastically. The conductors have been meticulous and technical in how each instrument should be played, whether it was a crisper staccato, or a long and arduous note, ensuring that the piece was played to perfection.
Angliss Strings is a Middle School Ensemble created by the Head of Strings, Mr Wakely and later Mrs Grossman. The group consists of all the highly skilled string instrument players such as violinists, violists, celloist and double basses.
The pieces we play are enjoyable as they are chosen by our Head of Strings, Mr Wakely, but sadly he retired and was replaced by Mrs Grossman. A great teacher and conductor, she is able to teach the most elite techniques with our group while still making it fun. Playing for Angliss Strings is one of the most entertaining extracurricular activities I have been involved in. Everyone at Angliss Strings thanks Mr Wakely for helping for many years and we also thank Mrs Grossman for her wise words during the rehearsals,
The fun begins on Thursday lunch times and you get to interact with other players. The classical music is soothing to the audience and enjoyable to the players. Everyone gets to participate in some Anthony Choi way, increasing the fun. We get to learn Year 8 experienced techniques and tricks to increase our skill with the teachers.

Music is for everyone. This is the philosophical foundation on which good music educators must stand. Like any area of study, some students will work hard and achieve great results, some may work harder than others to achieve the same results, and some, sadly, may fall into the classic trap of avoiding effort so they are excused from the outcome. For some reason, this last category seems to have pervaded Australian culture to the point where, in many parts of our society, it is either common or acceptable to be ‘un-musical.’ As leaders in music education, our role is to support and reward the endeavours of our students, focusing on the effort and improvement in the short and long term. Our job is to dispel the mythical proposition of musicality; that ‘special’ thing which some children appear to be ‘gifted’ with at birth. For every musical performance of a fast or virtuosic passage, there lies many hidden hours of careful practice (most of which is likely to be slow, and non-virtuosic) under years of guidance from an experienced teacher. However, this private practice is not seen or heard, and is often unacknowledged under the glow of concert lights and applause. More importantly, the belief that some people are ‘musical’ while others are not, is inherently flawed. Musical skill, like
any other, can be learned and must be nurtured and practiced over a long period of time before any form of mastery can be expected. The greatest influencer in a student’s ability to learn (in music, but indeed any area) is often the expectations set on them by their teacher and parents. We naturally expect that students will learn and develop skills in English, Maths, Sport, Science etc. at school but parents are often surprised to know that their son has significant abilities on an instrument or with his voice when he applies a consistent effort over a few weeks of lessons. The boys, however, are rarely surprised at what they can achieve. As students, with growing minds and increasing metacognition, the boys understand that their abilities are directly proportional to the time and effort they put into practicing their newfound skill. It is at this critical moment that we as parents and educators must resist the temptation to label them as ‘brilliant’ (or mention the weird animal noises being emitted from the boys’ instruments while practicing), but to praise the time and effort that is allowing them to develop their musicianship. The added benefit to their growing musical skill set is the ever-expanding list of side benefits from participating in group music

making, quite aside from the attainment of musical knowledge and abilities. Creating music together increases neurological activity, reduces anxiety, and can even form or solidify life-long friendships. This is why I often wonder why music is perceived as unattainable or some sort of magic, available to only a few, or is perceived as unnecessary in education. Music benefits all, and all benefit from music. Mr Ben Bishop Director of Music This year has seen the passing of a multitude of musical landmarks, stretching from the inspiring Senior School efforts in House Music to the final cymbal crash of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana concluding the September Concert. I think it is clear to say, 2019 has been a wonderful year of creating, rehearsing and performing music in all walks of the school life.

MUSIC event. The evening culminated in Steven House taking the trophy for the third year in a row, a feat never seen in the 52 years of the competition’s history. Followed closely was the Mid-Year Concert, a spectacular night highlighted by technical competency and triumphant orchestral parts concluding with the Senior School Orchestra’s performance of William Tell Overture. Along with the numerous other musical endeavours and successes from a multitude of students including chamber and solo eisteddfods, masterclasses and the debut of the Music Academy, the year was elegantly concluded by the Alva Allen and September Concert – the final performances for the Year 12 cohort. The Highton Strings’ rendition of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings proved expressive and spectacular, with the mesmerising double concerto for flute and violin following the previous concerts Saint Saen’s Cello Concerto, exemplifying the prowess and technical abilities of all the boys involved. 2019 was a fantastic year for music making, and it was both an honour and a privilege watching students and music alike flourish and mature, and I wish all the best for those in years to come.

Senior School Orchestra The Senior School Orchestra thrived once again in 2019, delivering memorable performances in the two concerts during the year. Commencing with the beautiful Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky in the Mid-Year Concert, it caused many orchestra members to reminisce on their childhoods, bringing back memories of the popular Tom and Jerry episodes which incorporated this majestic piece in its soundtrack. The calming and peaceful atmosphere created by the string instruments, coupled with the animated motifs outlined by the brass and woodwind sections immediately proved to be a hit amongst the boys. In the same concert, an enthusiastic rendition of the famous William Tell Overture highlighted the orchestra’s ability to perform not only slow and expressive pieces, but also fast and energetic themes. However, this was just the tip of the iceberg – the following September Concert allowed the orchestra to display
its prowess, tackling the infamous La Forza del Destino by Verdi. Anchored in the midst of the Romantic Era, Verdi’s renowned opera explores the concept of fate, drawing upon forceful chords and conflicted, restless harmonies to demonstrate The Force of Destiny. This powerful and sombre piece was contrasted by the orchestra’s performance of Radetzky March, with the lively music causing the audience to clap along to the beat – it felt like a New Year’s celebration in the middle of a cold, wet September. It has been an enjoyable year, full of laughs, hard work and positive memories. However, none of this could have been possible without the work done behind the scenes by the music staff and in particular, our conductor Mr Bishop, for all the hard work they have put into making the Senior School Orchestra something very special.

Chorale
Stage Band has always felt different to other groups. There is an air of true solidarity, and a seemingly endless stream of moments that send adrenaline pumping through the bodies of the players. You just feel awesome, playing in Stage Band, as you get up on that daunting front stage and show the audience something real. And 2019 has been no exception.
2019 proved another highly successful year for the Senior Concert Band, with the ever-steady heads of Mr Chris Day and Mr David Byrne at the helm. The wide spectrum of experience within the ensemble allowed the younger members to receive technical advice and improve ensemble skills in a positive environment and allowed the more senior musicians to advance their ability to lead a section.
2019 was another immensely successful year for the CGS Chorale, with performances in three concerts. First, the boys took up the challenge of singing in German, learning Josef Rheinberger’s Abendlied – no easy task. However, the Chorale rose to the occasion at the Mid-Year Concert, making the PAC sound like the inside of Westminster Abbey and singing with perfect pronunciation to satisfy any and all discerning bilinguals present.
With the fabulously talented Mr Johnston at the helm, it’s given me and no doubt many others, the tools and the chance to feel like we’re making something special. It’s a real opportunity to bring a bit of your own flavour to the music, which is something I believe is sadly missing from a lot of musicians’ lives.
The Mid-Year Concert presented us with the opportunity to perform Randall Standridge’s beautiful Companion of My Voice and Alex Lithgow’s ubiquitous march Invercargill. This was followed up in September with exceptional renditions of Ralph Hultgren’s That I May Love alongside Chick Corea’s Spain, which was bound to have audiences dancing in their seats.
I count myself quite lucky to have been a part of it, even if for only the last two short years, and I know I’ll take the influence As is tradition, the band closed out the Stage Band has had on me and run with it year by accompanying the annual Senior for many more to come. School Cadet Parade on Open Day, a feat of organisation and communication by all Henry Koswig involved. It has been my pleasure to lead Year 12 the Senior School Concert Band for 2019, and we can’t wait to show you what we have in store for next year. Hamish Monckton Year 11
The next big event saw the Chorale hit the road – for two minutes, down to Fintona’s August Concert. Soloist Benjamin Finney together with the combined voices of the Fintona Choir and the CGS Chorale performed the tranquil Now by Jonathan Dove, a performance repeated at Camberwell’s own September Concert. The esteemed September Concert saw the Chorale present two additional songs: the spirited folk and gospel song Wayfaring Stranger, with soloist Hamish Westcott and arranged by Darby Lee and Mr Kerr’s serene and touching original Peace and Love. A huge thank you must be extended to the Fintona Music students and staff; our unequalled Chorale accompanist Mr Roberts; and of course, our fabulous conductor Mr Kerr. Congratulations and thank you also to the departing Year 12s, whose prolonged contributions have made this another fantastic year in the CGS Chorale. James Thorn Year 11

MUSIC Choir In yet another daunting year of time-tested music for the Choir, the boys rose to every challenge with poise and dedication. The Mid-Year Concert was truly theatrical in the variation of genre and tone across its four musical items. Simple Gifts, Stand by Me, and Mack the Knife all showcased the brilliant range that sets our boys apart from other school choirs. However, the true showcase of the boys’ talent came in the Holy City which featured difficult harmonies and expert solos. But how can we have a musical performance under Mr Bishop without at least some homage to Tim Minchin? The delightfully absurd Cheese served to wake up the audience. With the success of the Mid-Year Concert, the boys got to work on their September item Carmina Burana. The boys performed outstandingly on the night, capping off the final concert for our Year 12s with gusto. A special thanks goes out to students of Fintona for their help in joining the choir for the September Concert, particularly the support and talent they brought. Moreover, special thanks must be given to our conductor, Mr Bishop, for his continued
passion for great music; no doubt under his leadership and guidance the school choir will continue in its success next year. Ben Finney Year 12
Highton Strings The year for Highton Strings started with a tragedy: Mr Wakely, Head of Strings at CGS for over ten years and conductor of Highton Strings, decided to leave the school at the end the first term. Luckily, he was replaced by an equally able Head of Strings (Ms Grosman) who pushed the ensemble to perform pieces more difficult than ever before.
Big Band The CGS Big Band conducted by Mr Day debuted at the Victorian School Music Festival (VSMF) in 2019. As our performance was deemed to be of a high standard, this earned us our first performance in the Mid-Year Concert at CGS. The VSMF was a tough performance for the boys as it was the first show that we had ever performed, and we overcame many challenges in learning the pieces.
With hard work and lots of practice, we were able to deliver a top-quality recital of Welcome to the Majors and What’s Your Hurry, both composed and arranged by Rob Vuono Jr, which ultimately earned us a gold standard award. To celebrate, we There were times when it seemed the group had a pizza lunch that was heartily enjoyed by the boys whilst we reviewed the VSMF wasn’t going to get up to standard by the comments sent to us. concerts, but by the tremendous efforts of everyone in the ensemble, we were able to We did an encore perfomance of perform the Holberg Suite in the Mid-Year ‘Welcome to the Majors’ again at the Concert and the Tchaikovsky Serenade September Concert given that this was for strings at the end of the year to a high the band’s favourite piece.

MUSIC ACADEMY In 2019, Camberwell Grammar became the first Victorian school to create a Music Academy within a secondary school. This was an organic process as Camberwell Grammar already had a deep and celebrated tradition of musical culture.
MUSIC
The 55 students of the Music Academy take part in a weekly Conservatorium-style performance or technique class. Brass, woodwind, piano and strings are divided up to work on specific focus areas. Some of the classes have included ‘what should I do if I have only 15 minutes to practice?’ or ‘am I proud of my bow hold?’. There have also been mock AYO auditions and orchestral excerpt reparation. Some weeks the students come together and listen to each other perform their chamber music works. This is particularly valuable as the CGS music staff attend and write written reports on the ensembles. Throughout the year, our Academy students performed in a series of Masterclasses from visiting artists. Some of these included the Australian String Quartet, pianists Daniel de Bora, Kenneth Broburg, Caroline Almonte and Kenji Fujimura, Violinists Mark Mogilevski, Danny Gu and Christine Johnson, cellists David Berlin and Melissa Chomlinsky, Flautists Prue Davis, Wendy Clarke, Jessie Gu and Taryn Richards, Clarinetists Robert Schubert and Sungpil Lee, Trumpeter Geoff Payne, Horn player Carla Blackwood and Trombonist Don Immel. In July, the Music Academy created an opportunity for our four VCE Performance students to perform and be interviewed live on 3MBSFM. In September, they also performed their VCE Programs at St Oswald’s Church in Glen Iris.
“Throughout the year, our Academy students performed in a series of Masterclasses from visiting artists.”
The Music Academy holds a number of events throughout the year that are open to everyone in the Camberwell Grammar community. All students and parents are welcome to attend performances and Masterclasses by visiting artists. Ms Rachel Atkinson Head of Music Academy

DRAMA Christmas Around the World PRE-PREP, PREP, YEARS 1 AND 2 All children from Pre-Prep to Year 2 entertained their audience in the original musical Christmas Around the World. The musical, which highlighted how Christmas is celebrated in countries around the world, brought the lower primary year to a joyous conclusion. The Year 2 boys narrated the story through singing and recorder playing, sharing how Christmas is celebrated in four different countries. The journey around the world started here in Australia, where the Pre-Preps reminded us of the joys of blowflies at our barbeques. The Year 2 boys had a fiesta (and then a siesta) in Spain while the Year 1s presented some winter hip hop in the USA. The Preps entertained with German dancing and then the full cast sent the audience on their way with a rousing rendition of We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Brought together by their music teacher Mrs Trista Fry, the boys showcased the many performance skills they have been developing this year in song, dance and instrumental playing.

“People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for.”
To Kill a Mockingbird This year’s Middle School production, in staging Harper Lee’s widely studied novel, bravely counterpointed the fragility of childhood innocence with the harshness of the adult world. The trio of children 124 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
at the heart of the story spoke with a growing maturity that belied their years; the villainous Bob Ewell (played vociferously by Cooper Carbone, Year 8) contrasted perfectly with the ‘mockingbird’ Tom Robinson (acted understatedly by Thomas Auwardt, Year 7); but it was Atticus Finch (in a considered performance by Billy Allsop, Year 8), who physically towered over the townsfolk as a pillar of justice. Teddy Linehan from Year Two impressed not only the audience but also the cast and production team with his spectacular performance as Scout Finch. His commitment to character and well-
drawn accent showed an artistic maturity way above his age. The action moved speedily between the Finch’s garden, with its tyre‑swing, and the congested courthouse, from whose gallery the children observe an unsettling trial. The period costumes worn by the performers, and the Deep South accents used by them, both convincingly evoked the setting of Alabama in the 1930s. Overall, this was a sometimes difficult, but often delightful, dramatisation of a much-admired book. Mr Sam Gough Drama and Latin Teacher

“The boys performed with intensity, facing two audiences of their peers and one evening performance for friends and family.”
12 Angry Men Penny Wood’s Senior School Production of 12 Angry Men presented a theatrical pressure-cooker of a situation: a dozen jurors ‘trapped’ in a room and charged with the responsibility of determining the outcome of a trial. In Reginald Rose’s intricate play, the layers of the plot were revealed compellingly, like the peeling of an onion. Nicholas Sarlos‑Welsh, as the doubtful juror, led a committed ensemble which sustained its energy, focus and accents in this demanding drama. The simmering tension was slow to boil, but ultimately did explode to riveting effect. As for the staging, the decaying, skewed set – complete with overflowing rubbish bin – designed by Old Boy Thomas Bevans (2010), perfectly evoked the 1950s and was suitably claustrophobic. The boys performed with intensity, facing two audiences of their peers and one evening performance for friends and family.

The fact that we were in the wings restricted us from laughing too loudly, but we could hear the similar impact these comic intervals had on the audience.
Peeking through the wings was hardly sufficient to appreciate the angelic vocals of Philippa Gray, the great comic timing of Suzannah Bourke’s Polonius (the character working so well as a woman in this production), Kathryn Desmier’s cruelly put-upon Ophelia played with touching sensitivity. Menace and mystery were heightened by Louis Le’s ghostly King and Hamlet Ben Finney’s vicious Claudius both played with superb articulation and character. This autumn, the senior thespians of James Thorn played great depths of Camberwell Grammar School and Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College took to grief as Laertes, soldiers looked capable, the stage to perform William Shakespeare’s ladies-in-waiting attentive, with travelling timeless tale of Hamlet. Under the direction players and various supernumeraries of Mr Stocker, our 28 strong cast embarked helping flesh out the busy castle providing much colour and energy. on a four-month journey of rehearsals. Retelling the tragedy of Hamlet was no The cast had to control bouts of hysterical easy task, with concentration and diction laughter at the antics of the comedic being the cornerstones required to tell the grave-digging duo Coulston Waycott story, not to mention the task of tackling and Michael Campbell, and the ‘peacock Elizabethan English. preening’ Osric, played by Joe Grimley.
Of course, the highest of accolades must be reserved for Spike Johnson, Prince Hamlet of Denmark. Spike delivered an assured performance, testament to the hours of additional work undertaken to bring his character to life and learn the lines, with soliloquies securely delivered. The electric bed-chamber scene with the shockingly violent Hamlet, and Gertrude, played at that moment with hysterical emotion by Anika Kelly, was awkward to watch in its portrayal of domestic violence. Hamlet in this production was a deeply flawed individual. In the last scene of the play, Spike and James Thorn entertained us with a thrilling, complex and seemingly dangerous sword fight, with myself as Voltemand stepping in, as well as a couple of others, to protect the king, was meticulous choreographed by Fight Director Thomas Stockdale. Phillip Alex as Prince Fortinbras closed the show with noble poise. The stunning set, with vast cloudscapes, included multiple platforms, designed by Mark Wager, allowed for a variety of locations. Jennifer Bennie’s sumptuous costume design, assisted by Breanna Handfield, helped bring the characters to life, with each costume’s colour and material selected specifically to reveal each character.

marshalled the crew and supported the production in many other ways. Stuart Feldt and Michael Zagarn were our technical wizards. All of this attention to detail, with some very carefully selected music (from the Danish String Quartet, no less), evoked a romanticised mediaeval world of beauty and sadness. The professionalism and commitment of the cast and crew resulted in an outstanding three show run. Well done to everyone on a successful show season.

As we evolve as artists, we begin to see with greater clarity the relationship between history, philosophy, politics and art. Art is connected to life and not just a collection of pretty pictures. Art and Design education is unique, it’s like no other subject, because when we do Art the centre is ourselves. Art opens up all the possibilities and passages to think beyond what we already know. Art and cultural production are at the centre of what makes a society what it is. Art defines our history; it’s deeply embedded in humanity. Art shows us how to be human.

MIDDLE SCHOOL HOUSE COMPETITION
We started the year on a high note, with the boys participating in Athletics trials and the House Athletics competition at Bill Sewart Athletics track. The poor weather couldn’t put a dampener on the boys, as we saw multiple Houses take the lead over the course of the day. In the end though, Bridgland took the crown with some commanding performances and teamwork in the relays from the boys in pale blue. We then headed into the first round of Friday sport with the boys playing Table Tennis, Soccer, Volleyball and Hockey, where we saw every boy compete to the best of their ability. As we headed into Term 2, the Houses started planning for round two of Friday sport, however we couldn’t take results due to a lack of participants from each House. The Houses turned their attention to the Swimming Carnival, which took place at the school pool. We need to acknowledge and thank the Aquatic Staff, who put in an incredible amount of effort behind the scenes to make sure the day was a success. It was at this event that
we saw the boys in each House bond with each other, as the encouragement and cheering were amazing to see. Robinson proved too strong for the other Houses, taking out first place in imposing fashion.
during the year, including referee, coach, supporter and crowd control among many other things. Their tireless efforts and support for the program have made the year an undisputed success and I would like to thank them very much. This has been a fulfilling year and an exciting program to run and I am looking forward to seeing how the program develops and progresses in the future.
The final carnival for the year was Cross Country, in which we headed out to the beautiful Westerfolds park. The boys faced the daunting task of a 3km run and tackled it head-on, with the boys from Robinson once again showing how strong they are, Mr Charlie Lockwood achieving great results in all three-year Physical Education Teacher levels. With two rounds of Friday sport left SPORT WINNER for the year, the boys enjoyed many sports, Athletics Bridgland including Tchoukball, Tee-ball, Handball, Swimming Robinson AFL, Cricket, Futsal and Kickball.

2019 proved to be a successful year for Middle School sport. The boys participated fiercely and fairly for their Houses in a wide range of sports over the year. It was exciting for the staff involved to see every House play to their strengths and achieve success in the form of positive results, improved play or newly forged friendships. The competitions from week to week were played in good spirit as the boys put on a spectacle of incredible individual and team performances that lead to many close games being played. As the weeks progressed, staff were encouraged to see the boys begin to think tactically throughout each game. By the end of the year, we saw a very high standard of competition from each House, and I am excited to see if the Houses can continue their progression into next year and beyond.

HOUSE SPORT The 2019 House Sport Competition was a hotly contested affair, with honours shared by several Houses over the course of the four major events. Ultimately, it was Macneil who emerged victorious, poetically overtaking Schofield in the final Cross Country event to upset the reigning cup holders by a narrow margin and claim the Jarrett Cup. Importantly, however, the spirit of sportsmanship and support was evident throughout and all Houses should be commended on their participation. The first event of the year was the House Athletics in March, which saw teams head to Bill Sewart Reserve in Burwood. Despite wet conditions causing some events to be delayed until the following week, there was still plenty of support and spirited competition on the day, especially in the relay events. Overall, Macneil dominated the Year 9 and 10 levels, whilst Steven and Schofield were strongest at Year 11 and 12. However, it was Summons’ consistency which was most valuable as they improved upon their third placing in 2018 to claim the first key trophy of the year. Individually, there were many outstanding performances, with medals awarded across all Houses. At Year 9, Hugo Akse (MAC) won gold with dominant performances in his sprinting, hurdling and jumping events. Sam Rendell’s (DER) versatility in field events was enough to earn a gold medal at Year 10, whilst key sprinters Alex Wilson-Brown (SUM) and future Athletics Captain Matthew McKenna (BRI) took gold in Year 11 and 12 respectively. Tom Bowers broke a longstanding 800m House record at Year 11, a performance which he would then go on to repeat at the AGSV Carnival in September. The second event of the year was the Multi-Sport competition, where six sports were held at School and a number of local venues. House Basketball was held at the Booroondara Sports Centre, where Bridgland and Schofield shared the spoils. Schofield’s Daniel Bowers led his team brilliantly. Bridgland won the Year 9 and 10 event convincingly, whilst Schofield took the Year 11 and 12 event. Badminton was a much closer affair, but it was the consistency of Macneil, led by Luke Chen that was most evident as they shared 146 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
the trophy with Bridgland. Macneil and Derham shared the Handball trophy, with commanding performances on the KAO, led by James Sampson (MAC) and Lachlan Melville (DER). Schofield were too strong across all year levels in Table Tennis, winning convincingly. In Tennis, Macneil were led by a strong Year 9 and 10 team, notably Lachlan Wei, and finished well clear of Schofield and Clifford. Finally, in Soccer, Derham (led by Blake and Mason Pearson) and Robinson, led by Niko Verrios, won the 9/10 and 11/12 competitions respectively, but it was the consistency of Derham and Steven that earned them enough to share the trophy. When all of the points across the six sports were tallied, Schofield narrowly won the day with 21.0 points, just ahead of Macneil and Bridgland on 20.7 points.
Term 3’s House Cross Country was the final event of the calendar, with Schofield holding a narrow lead over Macneil as everyone headed to Westerfolds Park for the 3km races. 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, though it was pleasing to see some fresh faces on the podium. Victorian Cross Country representative Tom Bowers (11SCH) ran the fastest time of the day, whilst Matthew Power (11DER), Tom Graves (12DER) and Jack Amling (12BRI) also had great runs. In terms of the team results, Derham took no less than 5 of the 12 individual medals, but it was Macneil, Steven and Schofield who were most consistent and had more runners in the key top 30 places. Ultimately, the two point After a short break, the Jarrett Cup shifted overall difference between Macneil and its attention to House Swimming, with the Schofield was enough to give Macneil the Ngaere Wilson Pool hosting Year 9 and 10 win on the day and also allow their Captain events in the morning, followed by Year 11 Lachlan Doig to lift the Jarrett Cup in and 12 in the afternoon. In an incredibly triumph on the morning of the annual Prize close overall competition, three Houses tied Giving Ceremony. with 24 Jarrett Cup points each.

HOUSE MUSIC Preparation for House Music began the Monday we entered the school gates in Term 4, with the next five weeks being filled with a friendly rivalry culminating in an evening of pure elation and excitement.
HOUSES
The whole Senior School gathered in the PAC on the eve of the 53rd annual House Music competition – the last few months of arranging, rehearsing and memorising being put to the test in the first House event of the year. The evening was adjudicated by the wonderful Dr Jonathan Welch, and his concluding notes were invaluable to next year’s competitors. The night comprised of an instrumental arrangement from each House that included three or more members. The winning group from this section, the Baroque Ensemble from Steven House continued their streak by taking home first place in the Boroondara Eisteddfod, a great achievement on all fronts. Secondly, Houses had
148 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
to perform two pieces, the first being a unison song, the second a part song arranged in harmonies. One of these two pieces had to be taught, memorised and performed in a language other than English with a mixture of Russian, French and Latin to cite a few. Congratulations to all the boys, conductors and Year 12s who led their Houses in what was a special evening
that will never be forgotten. Special acclamation to the Steven House cohort for their third consecutive win, making history as the first House to do so, and good luck to all competing in next year’s House competition. Sebastian Csutoros Captain of Music

HOUSE PLAYS
To be involved in House Plays, or not be involved? That was the question posed to every Senior School boy in Term 3, as the veterans of House Drama prepared to round up the talented rookies in their House, looking to guide them into the hallowed brick walls of the PAC, towards eternal dramatic glory… The theme of House Drama for 2019 was ‘Short Shakespeare’s’ – two words rarely used together, given that Hamlet, arguably Shakespeare’s most iconic play, clocks in at roughly four hours. The challenge of condensing one of the Bard’s masterpieces into a 15-minute play. Set in the modern-day teenage world, Steven’s entertaining adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra saw an Antony scared to dog the boys, and his daintily voiced but physically impressive girlfriend, Cleopatra. Derham’s Macbeth was cleverly transposed into a schoolyard, as Macbeth’s ambition led him into the school captaincy… and out of it.
Schofield’s take on the classic Romeo and Juliet was a crowd-pleaser, with a furious Mr Capulet roaring his way through the play, and an entertaining yet truthful impression of Mr Heyes.
Summons took on the little known Two Gentlemen of Verona, wittily recontextualising the original Italian setting to a more local Glenferrie and Frankston, complete with hilarious ‘T-Boys’.
Clifford’s Hamlet took inspiration from the 70s masterpiece film The Godfather, with 70s costumes, New York accents, and a terrific and humorous gunfight to finish off the play echoing the tragic ending of Shakespeare’s original.
Robinson’s Julius Caesar saw the audience transported into Bill Shakespeare’s very own life, expertly narrated by two of his 16th-century actor contemporaries, Brutus and Cassius. Featuring the Globe Theatre, an extremely cheesy rap, and a beautifully cohesive ensemble.
Tackling the tricky and magical A Midsummer’s Night Dream, Macneil flew through to the finals with effective backdrops and costumes, engaging characters, and a jaw-dropping script written completely in rhyme. Bridgland’s King Lear left the audience in stitches with its self-aware humour and meta ad-breaks, somehow incorporating Bunnings and Love Island into a Shakspearian classic.
Tremendous thanks must be extended to our adjudicators Rob Johnson, Mr Gough and Miss Wood, production manager Jessica Doutch, technical support Mr Zagarn, and Mr Stocker. Finally, congratulations to Rhys Denison for taking out the Best Actor Award, and to Robinson, who after four years of placing secondplace in a row, finally took out the win.

BRIDGLAND
Upon reflection of the year that was for the Bridgland Brigade, 2019 proved to be one rich with fond memories and successes on both field and stage. Camaraderie was a quality that ran throughout the House, and one only needs to think back to this year’s musical opening to see it displayed in full effect. Having barely stepped off the bus back from Kangaroobie, the new Year 9s were thrust into the intense environment of House Music, enduring the seemingly monotonous morning rehearsals that the other year levels knew all too well. However, the hard work put in during practice had its payoff, as the boys delivered bone-chilling performances, and truly did themselves proud. Thanks to the arranging and accompanying from Ian Kaharudin and Loc Duong, the boys were able to unite and produce something special. Indeed, whilst second place might have been difficult for some to swallow, the phrase ‘People’s Champ’ springs to mind, as chants of “Bridgland! Bridgland!” echoed through the PAC during adjudication.
150 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
Following what almost seems to be a tradition for the House, Bridgland exercised its poise and skill in rhetoric, claiming first place in House Debating – with finals appearances from three year levels. Respectable results were also seen in Cross Country and Multi-Sport, proving the prowess of the light blue is not limited to the cultural side of the school. Indeed, such success only comes to fruition through active participation and collaboration, and in this sense the efforts of the boys are sure to be commended. All in all, 2019 was certainly a memorable year for myself, and a large part of its endearing appeal was the opportunity to be House Captain. I had a great time getting to know the boys, and it was special to see
the House’s overall growth as a cohesive unit. Many hearty thanks must be extended to Vice-Captain Matt McKenna, whose stoic resolve made for a dependable councillor; the House Prefect team, who all excelled in their respective roles; the House’s legion of trusty Tutors; and of course, the always reliable and encouraging, Mr Devine. With some versatile leaders emerging through the Year 11 ranks, as I and the House Prefects pass on the mantle, I can assure you that the boys of the lightest blue persuasion will be in safe hands for years to come.

CLIFFORD
2019 saw the continuation of a strong community focus within Clifford. All students across the year levels showed that working collectively as one group can not only bring success, but can also create long-lasting memories. House Music kicked off the year’s House events. Once we overcame the rocky beginning caused by the onslaught of early morning rehearsals, we managed to crackdown on our two vocal arrangements and the instrumental piece. With the guidance of Josh Dai and Dean Roff, we were able to put on a performance that exceeded our early expectations. On the night, it was clear that everyone gave it their all, and while we may not have placed as high as we had hoped for, we did come together as a collective - learning a touch of German in the process. The next event was Athletics, and although the weather was underwhelming, we still came out in full force. As we arrived at Bill Sewart Athletics Track, the other Houses looked on with confusion (and jealousy), as a sea of
152 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
athletes donning the now iconic ‘high-vis’ orange vests arrived. There were many talented athletes across the age groups for Clifford, and all of the boys stepped up to fill absences when required. House Swimming once again saw a dominant showing from Clifford, with emerging Year 9 and 10 talent, who I’m sure will continue the hot streak going into next year. Boys who wouldn’t normally identify themselves as swimmers were willing to throw themselves in the deep end for the sake of the House. This group effort, combined with outstanding individual performances, helped us achieve first place overall for swimming. Culturally, Clifford is as strong as ever. The chess team continues to grow in strength every year with emerging skill from Year 9 specifically. Debating also appears to show potential going into
the future, particularly with 2020’s strong Year 12 cohort. The second year of the House Chapel service was a success, with this year’s focus being on the school value of ‘courage’. This service provided an insight into our interpretation of ‘courage,’ and how it applies to many aspects of our lives. Once again, the House has had a rewarding year, not only in terms of the results, but also through the continuation of our community focus. I know for certain that this community, which has been built over many years, will continue to grow going forward and lead Clifford and its members through another successful year. Lastly, on behalf of the 2019 Clifford Year 12 group, we would like to thank Mr Ruffles, the House Tutors and every member of Clifford for making our last year at CGS so memorable. Best of luck to next year’s House Captain Rhys Campbell, and the new House Prefect group. Max Ramm Captain of Clifford

DERHAM
Welcoming Mr Miriklis as the new Head of House, Derham was determined to achieve a successful year. Whilst not claiming any outright victories, it is evident that the commitment, determination and diligence of this House is paving the way for a bright future in the years to come. The first event we faced was the prestigious House Music competition. Conducted brilliantly by Edward Wu and Jamie Steverlynck, Derham tackled the renditions of Story of my Life and Por Una Cabeza and was rewarded with a strong fourth place finish, reflecting the hard work and commitment that everyone put in. In House Athletics the Derham spirit was truly alive with all of the boys cheering on one another. Finishing second overall proved to be the pinnacle of the year, highlighted through phenomenal individual performances by Sam Rendell and Taran Laurence who claimed a gold and silver medal respectively. Derham’s athletic prowess was further demonstrated through the Multi-Sport competition, where we claimed fourth place. Similarly, the boys presented a dominant performance in House Swimming, with notable efforts from Max Foulds and Peter Zhao, both finishing with gold medals for their respective age group. 154 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
The cultural activities of chess and debating were keenly contested. Narrowly missing out on a podium finish, we claimed an equal fifth, showing signs of promise for future years. The debating teams consisted of individuals from the expert level to novice, so it was pleasing to see many boys get out of their comfort zone and represent the House, being a true testament to the spirit of Derham. The final and arguably most defining event of the year was Cross Country. Everyone gave it their best and pushed to shave that extra second off the clock. Outstanding runs from Josh Davidson, Josh Gale, Taran Laurence, Matthew Power and Thomas Graves assisted Derham in finishing with a respectable fifth position.
Overall, this year proved to be one of many positives. I would like to extend my praise to all boys who took part in activities this year and my gratitude towards a wonderful team of House Prefects and Mr Miriklis.

MACNEIL
2019 has been a year of immense success for the Macneil boys, with excellent results in sport, music and debating, not to mention promising contributions from the younger boys that bode well for the coming years. These achievements are a testament to the dedication, skill and versatility of the boys in Macneil House, whose efforts this year have been commendable. The year began with House Music, a fiercely contested and high-pressure event. This year’s line-up saw Macneil perform our rendition of Ain’t No Mountain High Enough for our part song, a classic duet from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel. For our unison foreign language song we performed Les Champs Élysées by Joe Dassin, under the guidance of French‑expert and chorist, Linus Opat. Many thanks to James Gunasegaram for his selection, arrangement and leadership of the instrumental piece, another classic, the theme from Halo. The instrumental line-up consisted of James himself, Linus Opat, Aidan Oh, Thomas Huang, Zac Kyriakos and Lachlan Doig, while our vocal pieces were accompanied by the ever-reliable Michael Maher on piano. Thank you to all these boys who took on

extra responsibilities, as well as the rest of the boys in the House for their diligence and dedication, in helping Macneil House to secure an outstanding third place overall So too have Macneil’s sporting efforts been a cut above the rest this year. The boys began strongly with a second place performance at House Athletics, courtesy of some young talent coming up from Middle School and strong efforts from all year levels. Special mention to Jordan Liang for his impressive performances, and Hugo Akse, who was awarded the Year 9 gold medal for his efforts. The success was maintained in the Multi-Sport competition, with Macneil securing equal second, while House Swimming and Cross Country saw Macneil take equal first both respectively. Well done to Jimmy Smith for his first place run in the Year 10 division at cross-country. These astounding individual and overall efforts across the board put Macneil in good stead for future years. Macneil also enjoyed unprecedented success in the House Debating competition, especially in the older year levels. The 11/12B team, consisting of Jarrod Papadopoulos, Hamish Monckton, Vishal Kotecha and spearheaded by Linus Opat, dominated their competition
with a convincing first place performance. The 11/12A team of Jamie Garnham, James Gunasegaram and Lachlan Doig faced some tough competition, but were also able to secure first place in their division. Ultimately, however, the inscrutable adjudication system awarded Macneil fourth place, a nevertheless impressive result and a testament to the skill of all those involved. Overall, 2019 saw Macneil boast impressively consistent results, and the future looks bright for the House. Congratulations to Jamie Garnham, who will take up the position of House Captain in 2020 and can certainly be depended upon to continue Macneil’s impressive form. Thank you and farewell to the Year 12 students for their leadership throughout the year, especially to the House Prefects and Vice-Captain Corey McCabe. Thank you also to Mr Sofoulis who has seamlessly taken on the role of Macneil Head of House. Finally, special thanks to the one-and-only Mr Green for his unerring guidance throughout our time in Senior School. He will be sorely missed by the Year 12 leavers. Lachlan Doig Captain of Macneil

ROBINSON
In 2019, we welcomed a few new members to our ‘Green Family’, with a host of young students and a new tutor in Mr Thomas, replacing the retired Dr Anderson. The year started off almost instantly in terms of House activities, with the first House Music rehearsal scheduled for the second day back. Our choice of music was the Soviet National Anthem (in Russian) directed by Ben Finney and Mr Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra as our part song. Our instrumentalists (led by Oliver Papillo) took inspiration from previous years’ performances with a continuation of our ‘rock’ theme; this time electing for the Elton John classic Crocodile Rock. A special mention to our accompanist Ethan Lau for all his hard work throughout this time. Unfortunately, our music wasn’t thoroughly impressive according to the adjudicator, but I was incredibly impressed and proud to help lead Robinson through yet another wonderful House Music experience. The annual Robinson Street Soccer Tournament charity event was once again a huge success, with many teams entering, culminating in an amazing finale on the last day of Term 1. Big thanks to Charlie Harper for making the tournament 158 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
run so smoothly and Thomas Lee on his behind the scenes work to help raise funds for the Kids Under Cover organisation. Our sports achievements this year were few and far between, but individual efforts in Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country were particularly notable. However, amazing successes in House Debating, finishing overall second place, and victory in House Chess, led by Oliver Papillo, Thomas Lee and Sonny Wang, pushed us right up into contention for the Prefects’ Cup. Led by James Thorn and Joel Connell this year, the House Drama performed their adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. As the year comes to a close, I can proudly say that I achieved a couple of my own personal goals this year. The key message passed onto the boys this year was to leave school without regretting not choosing to participate in as many activities as possible. Co-curricular activities are as important as the academic subjects we take, so it is best to immerse yourself in as many as you can, particularly in an environment where you can share your
victories with the rest of your ‘Green Family’. Our community spirit is as strong as ever and I am pleased to hand over my role as Captain to Jasper Fodor, a very capable and courageous leader, who will continue the Robinson legacy into 2020. Niko Verrios Captain of Robinson

SCHOFIELD
Another year has come and gone, and yet again Schofield House has shown the school that magenta is the colour to be reckoned with. The efforts across the year levels, in all facets of House Activities, saw a rise in participation and inevitably success. The year began in interesting fashion, with the highly anticipated House Music. In a hope to carry on from the strong seventh place finish from the previous year, the boys attempted a foreign and contemporary song, brilliantly led by Oscar Tong and Weihan Zhou. The brilliant singing on the night resonated with those watching, with many saying that it was the best they have seen for several years.
Unfortunately, the adjudicator did not see it the same way, with a sixth place finish an improvement, but not reflective of the effort given by the boys, again emphasising the curse beset on the House, with yet another year of being ‘robbed’ of deserved glory. Nevertheless, with true Schofield passion, we celebrated loudly and proudly, despite our placing. 160 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
Whilst House Music did not go to plan, the continuation of the revered Schofield dynasty in the Jarrett Cup began brightly in Athletics. With star athletes across the years, the boys competed bravely and admirably in all events, culminating in a three-way tie for second place. Special mentions go to Ryan Box and Lachlan Ross for their silver medals for their respective year levels. From there, the events swiftly continued, with the Multi-Sport competition, where the boys showed their prowess, resulting in a welldeserved first place finish, demonstrating to the other seven Houses our ability when we try.
with a strong showing from all years, but with special mentions going to the valiant efforts of Yanning Zhang and Harry Swingler, leading us to a magnificent equal first place finish. The year ended with House Cross Country, where the passionate words of Mr Heyes the day before, showed in the strong turnout. Across the years, the running was superb and commendable, led by the efforts of Vice-Captain Javana Jayawardena and Tom Bowers, leading to yet another podium finish – in fact in the Jarrett Cup, Schofield did not set foot off the podium for the whole year.
Whilst the dynasty of the Jarret Cup unfortunately ended, its conclusion coincided with the departure of what has Debating kicked been a well-rounded and enthusiastic off second term, with an increased Year 12 group. The efforts given by the number of ‘Scho’ Year 12 ‘Schoers’ shows in the success of the House over the last four years, boys preparing demonstrating the profound effect that this themselves to group has had on the House as a whole. argue over notions It has been a great pleasure being Captain based around school, technology and political of the greatest House in the school, and I wish both the House and next year’s issues.

STEVEN
What a year 2019 has been for Steven, a year of great memories worth celebrating. With effort put in by the whole House, it was great to see all our boys participating in events with competitive spirit and determination culminating into both House and personal successes. The House Music competition saw Steven start the year off on a winning note with a well-deserved ‘threepeat’ as Steven made history, being the first House to secure its third consecutive win in the House Music competition. Led by Sebastian Csutoros, Captain of Music, and Prefect Nathan Zhao, whose vocal arrangement of Forever Young and O’Fortuna along with the stellar instrumental arrangement, saw our boys perform tremendously as a team, putting in a passionate and concerted effort to achieve a monumental result. Unifying the spirit and commitment of Steven House, this win set the tone for the year with our boys contributing and performing to the best of their abilities in other House events.
162 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
Though the House may not have earned first prize in Athletics, the day showcased the sporting talents and athleticism of many House members as Lucas Waycott claimed the silver medal in the Year 9 competition, Zac Johnson claimed the bronze medal in the Year 10 competition, and Ollie Spalding and Finnegan Weston claimed the gold and bronze medals respectively. Steven performed exceptionally well in House Chess and Debating, placing second in both competitions, demonstrating our boys outstanding effort. In House Cross Country, it was a great display across the board in this gruelling event with strong performances from younger
year levels providing promise of success in the future with admirable performances from David Thomas (8th), Zac Johnson (4th) and Dean Christofilopoulos (6th). Cross Country signified the end of House events for the class of 2019 and we wish the boys best of luck and ‘chookas’ for House Drama. It has been a pleasure being the 2019 Captain of this great House and I could not have been prouder of all of the boys for their efforts throughout the year. The camaraderie, enthusiasm and above all, the positive approach to all House events has reflected the true spirit of Steven. Thank you to the House Prefects, House Tutors and, in particular, our Head of House Mr Young for your leadership, constant support and encouragement throughout the year. Congratulations and good luck to Finnegan Weston (House Captain), Geoffery Gong (School Captain) and Arman Cakmakcioglu (Captain of Music) who have been appointed as School Prefects in 2020, and will no doubt lead Steven through another successful year!!

But most of all Andrew Zeng who was instrumental in the preparation and performance on the night. The results did not go our way this time against some impressive competition but this left us hungry going into Athletics.
2019 was a year that held both the sweet taste of victory and the bitter taste of defeat for Summons. The culture of the House throughout the year was incredible and that was evident through the enthusiasm with which the boys applied to all events. The year started off with ‘brutal’ 8am starts for House Music rehearsals and late finishes on Friday afternoons. Our musical item was a rendition of the theme song from Super Smash Brothers Brawl,

The results turned our way in the House Athletics day with the boys showing off their abilities across the board. We asserted ourselves as one of the loudest Houses when cheering on each other, especially in the relays and it was an amazing atmosphere. Our consistency in all events, along with some very impressive individual results, lead to Summons taking out first place. Special congratulations to Alex Wilson‑Brown (Year 11) who yet again won the gold medal for his year level through his sprinting dominance.
House Swimming and Cross Country each held different results, but a massive congratulations to those who got involved as these are two things which a lot of boys dread. Particularly impressive was Charlie Chun who came first in Year 9, taking home the gold medal, as well as Dylan Lay (Year 11) and Andrew Zeng (Year 12) who took home a bronze medal each for the swimming competition in their respective year levels. I would like to thank the House Prefects for their efforts throughout the year, highlighted by the chapel service that they were integral in organising. The theme was creation and renewal and the reflections, singing and readings left a mark on everyone in the room. Finally a massive thank you to all the House Tutors and particularly Ms Norris for her never-ending support for all of us. I wish the future Summons boys all the best and leave them in Patrick Rogan’s very capable hands as next year’s House Captain.
The annual Summons Gelati Day did not disappoint in 2019 with $835 being raised for the Peter McCallum Foundation and for vital cancer research. Boys from Years 9 to Harley Beechey 12 all got involved and it was a fantastic few Captain of Summons days of selling gelati.

Year 6 Camp Manyung This year, I was lucky enough to go to Camp Manyung for three nights and four days. My classmates and I participated in many different activities like archery, cooking, a leadership challenge and a high ropes course. It was a wonderful experience for me as I was able to try new and exciting things like swinging on the giant swing and bike riding in the bush. The camp schedule was accommodating, with lots of free time but also a moderate amount of time to complete work in small groups.
Overall, Year 6 Camp Manyung was a great experience, with many unique activities, great accommodation and programs dedicated to the welfare of the earth’s future. CGS teachers and camp staff were very helpful and optimistic, even though the weather was not so great, and this made our time a lot more enjoyable. It was a time I feel I will never forget and made us bond further as an overall group. Thanks to all the teachers who made this a wonderful and enjoyable camp.
Year 6 camp was an amazing way to have fun with my friends and see the teachers in a new light. My cabin mates were great company and a supportive group. During Camp Manyung, my classmates and I learnt a lot about sustainability and the practices they do to promote sustainability; like composting and growing vegetables which we used to make vegetarian wood‑baked pizzas.

On 4 March, all of Year 7 went off to Lord Somers for camp. There were many interesting activities that we got to do with our new friends. It also allowed us to socialise with our classmates. The food was great. But no one told us about Wednesday’s weather though… There were many activities, such as standup paddleboarding, camping and T-shirt making. Probably the hardest activity was camping. We had to hike for a long time to reach our campsite. Next, we had to put up the tents, which was difficult, but we
had to persevere. In the end, we all helped each other put up the tents. After that, we had to make dinner. The supervisors taught us how to use a Trangia (portable cooking stove) so that we could cook our food. My group put couscous in the Trangia, as well as some vegetables. Then we shared it around with some canned fish. After playing some socialising games, we went to bed. I’m quite sure that we all didn’t get any sleep that night. I even accidentally woke up at 3am and took some photos of the sun! At least it was the last day, so we could have a great night’s sleep on Friday. I’m sure that I forgot what
a good bed felt like until I got back home. Well, at least we enjoyed some great food, especially the lasagne, chocolate cake, chocolate mousse and hot chocolate.
From Point Roadknight we headed back to our campsite in Anglesea. Catching up with the other Year 8 students, we exchanged stories about our experiences. Some students had competed against one another to build the most impressive creature out of sand and surf debris. We played basketball and beach volleyball against the teachers until dinner time and then went on a fantastic hike through the bush. These experiences allowed us to bond with our teachers as well as each other.
breakfast and then headed off to our next activity. We learnt about beach awareness, surf lifesaving and practised skills with our friends. After the activities, we all sat back and took in the amazing view at Torquay. To make it even better we had fish and chips from the local store down the road delivered to us. After this delicious lunch, we packed our gear away and headed back home with nothing but positive experiences. The camp provided us with new, interesting and enjoyable experiences and we had a blast!
Lord Somers was a great camp. We reinforced our friend relationships and socialised with the rest of the cohort. Despite Wednesday’s weather being atrocious, it was an excellent camp. We learnt new things, used our school values and enjoyed food that probably wouldn’t have been that delicious in our own home. Tony Zhang
Year 8 Surf Camp Only two weeks into Term 1 and the Year 8 students were heading off to surf camp in Anglesea and Ocean Grove. There was a lot of excitement amongst the students, despite the cold temperature. When we arrived at Point Roadknight, it was the beach that captured our attention. Lines of surf beckoned and we quickly ate our lunch. After squeezing into our wetsuits, we headed down onto the beach. The instructors from ‘Go Ride a Wave’ gave us a couple of tips and instructions and then it was up to us as we headed out to the waves. Straight away, you could see who had surfed before. There were quite a few experts in our group and their skill and style inspired and showed us how to surf the big waves. There were many first-timers among us but we got the hang of things quickly. The teachers also joined in on the fun. They were a great help to the people who had never done it before, giving them encouragement and confidence.
While it took us some time to settle, we all got a good night’s sleep and were ready for the next day. We woke up to a good

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. Mr Rhys Thomas Director of Co-Curricular Activities
Tassie Trek After 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 bushland. 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 levelled out and views of grasslands and mountains stretched as far as the eye could see. By late afternoon the sheer cliffs of the coast
170 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
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 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. Mr Rhys Thomas Director of Co-Curricular Activities

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 2019, 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 the bus to Ballarat, students
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 yet rewarding week and the camp will likely 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 onboard, 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. The Camberwell Grammarian 2019 | 171

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 five-day, 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. 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 172 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
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 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 stargazing, 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 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 ability to cope in challenging and unfamiliar situations.

“Over the mid-year break, 18 students from Years 8 and 9 and three teachers took the cricketing trip of a lifetime.” UK Cricket Tour Over the mid-year break, 18 students from Years 8 and 9 and three teachers took the cricketing trip of a lifetime over to the UK. Our first stop, London, provided us with many iconic sights, such as the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and of course, Lords, the home of cricket. We played two games, both unsuccessful in result but excellent learning and adapting to the English conditions. We left the capital in good spirits, reaching Manchester and playing a game straight away, also unsuccessful but this time much closer. Whilst in Manchester, we enjoyed multiple days off, which we spent enjoying ourselves in a shopping centre, touring the ‘Theatre of Dreams’, Old Trafford, and even being lucky enough to watch the Australian World Cup side train at the other Old Trafford, also named Old Trafford. We acquired many autographs and selfies, and the next day, watched the boys unfortunately go down in a thriller in their last World Cup group match.
It was then time to head back down south, to Southampton, for a week. On the way, we checked out the city of Oxford and the prestigious Stone Henge, before reaching Southampton. The team played six games here, including our first win, which was followed by a narrow final ball loss. Here we continued to play matches, as well as explore the neighbouring city of Bournemouth and the beach that surrounds it. With our time in the UK quickly running out, we headed back to the capital where we enjoyed time in Hyde Park, toured the Tower of London and went on the London Eye. Unfortunately, soon after, we touched back down in Melbourne and you guessed it, went to school the next day. On behalf of all the boys, we would like to thank the school, in particular the teachers; Mr Crawford, Mr Stanley and Mr Watson for the unforgettable experience we had whilst we were over there.

China Trip From 6 April to 17 April 2019, 27 CGS students ranging from Year 9 to Year 11 and four teachers visited China. We arrived in Beijing first and visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall. We tasted the famous Peking Duck as well as touring Beijing’s lanes on rickshaws. After Beijing, we took the high-speed train to Xi’an and spent five days visiting our sister school, Xi’an Tieyi High School. CGS students stayed with their hosted families and enjoyed the hospitality of their Chinese families as well as delicious Chinese meals.
“We arrived in Beijing first and visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall.”
In Xi’an school, students not only attended classes with their buddies, but participated in cultural activities, such as making Chinese dumplings and Chinese art and crafts. They also had a basketball match and a soccer match against their host school. Students visited Bell Tower and Drum Tower and explored the night market in Xi’an. They also visited the famous Terracotta Warriors and City Wall, Shaanxi Museum and Great Wild Goose Pagoda and enjoyed shopping. After Xi’an, we went to Chongqing, the biggest city in China with a population of 32 million people. We visited Chongqing university and had a cruise on the river and appreciated the amazing light shows and the city night sky. It was an enjoyable trip for all of us and we look forward to the next China tour in 2021. Mr Wei Ha Head of Chinese

For the next three weeks, we had school at Assomption Bellevue. It was interesting to see school life in a foreign country and also take part in some of the classes. School holidays came around and we went straight after school to Germany to visit and stay with Clemens’ grandmother. We stayed in Germany for Christmas and from there travelled 12 hours to Brittany where we saw nice beaches and the highlight Mont St Michel. We were back in Lyon for New Year’s Eve and we left for Paris on 2 January for two nights. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Napoleon’s tomb were only some of the attractions that we saw. Clemens and I returned to school for one more week until I and all the other boys had to leave. After six weeks in France, it was time to head back to Melbourne. Thanks Clemens.

CAMPS AND TOURS French Cultural Tour The Cultural Tour to France has become a regular part of the school calendar. Every two years students in Year 10 and 11 have the opportunity to directly experience a culture and language that most of them have only read about and studied in class. So how does it affect them? What do they get out of it, and does it broaden their horizons? This is what they say: The itinerary was so amazing that my parents have specifically requested that if we ever return to Paris that we follow our schedule, as it was incredibly diverse and fun. Although there were countless elements of the tour which I enjoyed, most notably I loved the amount of art we were able to experience and the skills that I developed through the independent parts of the tour. Throughout the tour, I revelled in the ability to experience a vast and diverse variety of art which will ultimately impact my studies in Art and VisCom next year. Ranging from modern to ancient to impressionist pieces, the tour allowed me to witness works that I may never have seen in my lifetime and that has ultimately inspired me to pursue a creative career. The trip has also enabled me to develop skills that I will use as I become more 176 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
independent in the years to come. In the two weeks I was forced to budget my days, schedule my time and navigate myself (in small groups) through the city when we were given free time. Nick Sarlos-Welsh Year 10 This September I was given the amazing opportunity to take part in the 2019 Cultural Tour of France. The French Tour has definitely been one of my biggest highlights at Camberwell Grammar and is something I would encourage all boys in future years to consider. Accompanied by the brilliant Mr Williamson with his extensive knowledge of art, we were given an insightful and in-depth understanding of the different eras of art around the many museums and galleries we visited. From the wise and well organised Mr Da Costa we were gifted with his extensive and broad knowledge of the history of France and French culture. The head of French and avid geocacher, Ms Eckersley provided a further understanding of France and the culture not only of Paris but the amazing other towns and castles we visited. Not only did the tour provide a thorough understanding of the history of France through art, architecture and cuisine, but it also gave us the freedom to roam Paris in the afternoons. It was this freedom to try so many new foods and visit little shops
and museums that made the French Tour such an incredible experience. I would like to thank the teachers for such and incredible experience and amazing opportunity. Daniel Watson Year 10 Mr David Williamson Head of Art Mrs Naomi Eckersley Head of French Mr Ken Da Costa French Teacher
During the September holidays, 31 excited boys, accompanied by four enthusiastic teachers embarked on a journey to travel across the United States on the ultimate trip of space exploration. While the students all knew they were about to have a great fortnight in the States, no one in their wildest dreams could imagine just how wondrous it was going to be.
The following day, we moved into Space Camp at Huntsville, Alabama. Our first glimpse was seeing the huge Pathfinder space shuttle through the archway announcing ‘Welcome to Space Camp!’ We had a busy week receiving training in rocket building, space engineering and astrophysics. The most enjoyable experience was the space missions, where each person played an essential role, whether it was at mission control or in space.
We began the long-haul flight across the Pacific and America. By the time we exhaustedly crashed into our Nashville hotel bed, some of us had been awake for more than 50 hours.
These missions were extremely elaborate. The astronauts controlled a full space shuttle
simulator, with thousands of dials and switches, while the mission control staff had complicated computer programs and resource books at their disposal to solve problems aboard the spaceship. It really was a surreal experience for us. After a memorable week, we continued along our journey to the nation’s capital in Washington, D.C., where we visited the centre of the US government. We also visited a variety of museums and exhibits, including the White House and the new, impressive African American Museum. We were told the Air and Space Museum is arguably the best in the world,
“No one in their wildest dreams could imagine just how wondrous it was going to be.”

Orlando, Florida was our final stop where we visited Cape Kennedy, the launch site of all the shuttle missions and the developing Space X vehicles. Our last day we enjoyed the thrills of Universal Studios and Harry Potter World. We returned home safely with a sense of amazement at what we had accomplished in that short time abroad. We would like to thank our leaders for taking us on the adventure of a lifetime. Jerry Ji Year 9

SOUTHERN METRO REGIONAL SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS Thursday 28 March saw five Year 5/6 students compete at the Southern Metropolitan Regional Swimming Championships. We had two individual swimmers and two relay teams competing, and several school records were broken by teams and individuals on a successful event for Camberwell. The 12/13 Years 4x50m Freestyle Relay comprising of Nicholas Wang, Arya Noor, Ross Sykiotis and William Watson produced swims right on their personal bests in a dominant 11 second victory in a time of 2.10.37. Next in action was our Individual swimmers Melvin Zhang and William Watson. Melvin led from start to finish to take out the Boys 9/10 Years Butterfly by over 3 seconds in a blistering PB of 39.18 creating a new school record (old record 39.40 sec). William was up next and despite swimming a new personal best of 34.54 seconds encountered some tough competitors finishing in third place. William was back in action with the rest of the Medley Relay Team. The boys once again finished over 11 seconds clear of the next best team and in the process set a new school record with a time of 2.34.15. (old record 2.39.75). A fantastic event, well done to all who competed.

On Friday 6 September, on a remarkably clear day given the forecast for the week, our Division Athletics squad represented South Yarra Districts at Lakeside Stadium. It was a successful day for many boys in our team of eight, and all boys tried their best and supported one another fantastically. Angus Rynne, William Watson, Louis Zhang and Sean Verghese all performed admirably in their track or field events. Special mention to Harrison Ross, who took home a third place ribbon in his hurdles event, but was fast enough to break a school record in that race! Congratulations to Max McCool, who took first in the 100m and second in the 200m. Max set a school record in the 200m event, and his time would have also beaten the Division’s record. Max was also part of our successful 4x100m relay team, who came second by 0.05 seconds and will represent us at Casey Fields next term.

SPORT ACADEMY
SPORT
Before that the Sports Academy was on trial in Semester 1 of 2019, looking at various forms of implementation in readiness for Semester 2. Early on the EAP list included 18 students while the 1on1 Coaching was at around 40 students in total. Since the start of Term 3, this has now grown to include over 120 students (30 in the EAP and 90 in the 1on1 Coaching). Students range from Year 1 through to Year 11 with close to 40 students alone from the Junior School accessing the Sports Academy.
The privilege of working at Camberwell Grammar School has become even more satisfying with the introduction of the new Sports Academy. To be able to deliver a program that benefits the students in so many different ways is exciting and challenging at the same time. The students now have a ‘sporting voice’ within the school system and have the opportunity to express that voice across a range of platforms. Students can support their educational journey with a sport portfolio beyond the existing sports program. There are currently two options the students can select from within their favoured sport. The first option is the Elite Athlete Pathway (EAP), which is a program specifically designed for Camberwell’s finest athletes. The second option is a 1on1 Coaching Program which entails private coaching for students, or groups of up to four, before, during or after the school educational day. The EAP allows students the opportunity to be individually coached and assessed, have a personalised strength and conditioning program tailored to their needs, their mental and physical health monitored, educational assistance provided as well as access to physiotherapy and other health services pertinent to their performance and ongoing wellness plan. As part of this program, interviews are conducted 184 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
regularly to assess and provide feedback for the student about their progress. An Athlete Management System or AMS is currently being developed to assist with the analytics of such an advanced and progressive program. The 1on1 Coaching Program has access to parts of the EAP as well as a termbased assessment on their performance and application. Some of our expert coaches within both programs include Craig Mottram, Jack Hale, Steve Blackley, Davide Bertamini, Paul Sartori, Jordan Russell, Rayden Tallis, Lou Cirello, Richard Clifton, Mark Freeman, Joe Gerada and Nick Ong. Several of the coaches have coached or been involved at the highest level in their sport as a player or coach. The Sports Academy also provides a series of lectures to assist students within the program and around the school. Lectures have so far included topics such as Exercise Physiology, Nutrition, Sports Psychology and Injury Prevention. Further to the lectures are follow up 1on1 interviews with the EAP students assessing their individual program and requirements relating to their training, match and sports routines. The number of students in the program has grown since the Sports Academy’s inception at the beginning of Term 3, 2019.
The Sports Academy has established links with several different organisations including Camberwell Grammar Aquatic Swim Club, Balwyn Sports and Physiotherapy Centre and Elite Wellbeing Enterprises. Conversations are also currently being held with Melbourne Victory, Cricket Australia and other sporting organisations to establish links and further strengthen Camberwell Sports Academy within the community. Camberwell Grammar is fast becoming a destination for highly motivated, academic and sporty students. The future allows us to aspire and dream about what may be, and where we can go. The Sports Academy has the potential for rural and local scholarship opportunities, a technologically advanced online Athlete Management System (AMS), as mentioned prior, ongoing nutritional advice and access to healthier food options, master class coaching sessions from national and international coaches, a purpose-built mental health program and proposed mental health room within the school and interactive and analytical approach to testing and monitoring of athletes (students). The future is driven by desire and the need to improve and with that, Camberwell Grammar has the opportunity to become one of the premier school Sports Academies in the country.

SPORT REPORT
The Firsts Badminton and Table Tennis teams continued their dominance in the AGSV by achieving their 19th and 18th Premierships respectively. Led by Jason Tran, Badminton defeated a resurgent Yarra Valley after they had previously beaten Camberwell earlier in the season. Otto Zhao was a standout, while Peter Zhao and Luke Chen both performed well in their first season in the team. William Nguyen played valiantly through a significant knee injury and William Li provided great support to the team. Table Tennis were outstanding, dropping only a handful of sets across the season. Nathan Shi (Captain), Ethan Tang and Bryden Tan were awarded with selection in the AGSV Representative team for their dominance.
The Firsts Hockey and Soccer teams had exceptional seasons with both only losing one match for the season. Unfortunately, neither were successful in their respective Grand Finals. The Firsts Hockey team drew against Trinity but a loss to them earlier in the season meant that Trinity were crowned premiers. We say goodbye to seven Year 12s that were in the team. Nicholas Gooden, Charlie Harper and James Sampson were selected in the AGSV Representative team, with Nicholas being named Captain. The Firsts Soccer team earnt their first finals appearance in 10 years, but were beaten by a strong PEGS outfit on the day. After exceptional seasons, Niko Verrios and Tristan Patsiotis were selected in the AGSV Representative team. With promising players coming through at younger year levels, both teams should be pushing for finals again next year. The highest participated sport in the school, Basketball showed no sign of slowing down. While the Firsts team had a relatively quiet season, the depth in the cohort of students playing Basketball bodes very well for the future. There are increasing opportunities for students to be involved in the sport, particularly in the new Sports Academy. Meanwhile the tour to the USA held in December 2018 was a memorable experience for all involved. It was an amazing mix of cultural and sporting moments. It has been running biennially and the next tour is scheduled for December 2020.
The highlight of the year for Cricket came in the June/July holidays where a group of Year 8 and 9 students travelled to England. Attending a World Cup match between Australia and South Africa and a tour of the Home of Cricket, Lords, as well as playing a variety of English opposition teams were just some of the memorable moments. While the First XI had an inconsistent season, the team were able to send the Year 12s off in style with a win in their final game. We thank Sam Garrard, Vihaan Narayana, Ray Son, Lachlan Melville, Thomas Graves and Charlie Harper for their services to Cricket throughout their time at the school. Under the guidance of the newly appointed Head of Football, Mr Paul Sartori, and the new First XVIII Coach, Rayden Tallis, the Football program took further steps towards building success. Our top Intermediate team were promoted to the A Competition for the first time in years and performed encouragingly, highlighted by an incredible come-from-behind victory in the final round against Trinity. Unfortunately, the Firsts went through the season winless, although pushed ‘grand-finalists-to-be’, Assumption, all the way in their encounter. Ryan Walsh capped off a stellar school football career with his selection as the Captain of the AGSV Representative team.

SPORT
We are proud to offer a vast range of sports throughout the school year. Whether it’s to continue a sport students love, to encourage them to try something new or to develop their physical characteristics, the Sport program aims to meet the needs of our students and help them enjoy their sporting experiences. There were exceptional performances throughout the 28 sports, including AGSV Premierships and state representations, as well as countless amounts of effort and determination. It has been fantastic to see all students engaged in sport and physical activity during 2019.

With a young and developing squad, the Firsts Tennis team finished seventh, one place better on the ladder than last year. However, with A teams across all year levels performing strongly and the retention of most Firsts players, the team will be pushing for finals next season. In exciting news, the school’s development of courts at Leason Street looks likely to be ready for the end of 2020. It was another year of strong development within Volleyball. Like last year, the Firsts finished in sixth place; however, in a similar story to Tennis, the team is young and is poised to do well next season and will be aiming for a finals appearance. After countless hours of training and a January camp on the Gold Coast, the Swimming squad represented the school admirably at the AGSV Swimming Finals at MSAC. The team finished in fourth place, narrowly missing out on third. There were many outstanding performances on the night, namely from Yanning Zhang, Gregory Kerdemelidis, Lewis Clarke and Cody Greenwood who were selected to represent the AGSV in Swimming Victoria’s School Associations Competition. The AGSV Athletics Finals were once again held at Lakeside Stadium and, in near perfect conditions, there were some very impressive results recorded. Twenty-seven medals were won on the day, of which 13 were gold, as well as three broken school records by Sebastian Beck, Under 14 100m and 200m and Benny Grayson, Under 15 400m, with the team finishing in fourth place. Other standout performers were Ben Ford, Ollie Spalding and Tom Bowers. A special thanks to the Year 12s who participated in the Athletics season: Matthew McKenna (Captain), Harley Beechey (Vice Captain), Ryan Box, Ben Craigie and Thomas Graves. As a non-compulsory sport, it takes great dedication and commitment while juggling the demands of VCE. 186 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
The Cross Country team had another strong season, narrowly finishing in fourth place. Tom Bowers became the first Camberwell Grammar runner in 20 years to win the gold medal in his age group. He was well supported in the Senior Division by Taran Laurence and Matthew Power. Of the Intermediates, Jimmy Smith and Lachlan Wei ran well all season, while Jack Dobbyn, Harrison Car and Daniel Chen all finished in the top 10 in the Juniors.
Lawn Bowls has been revived after a lack of numbers in recent years and now sees a squad of approximately 20 students. William Cook, Elijah Pannozzo, Kristian Bite and Hieu Tran had an outstanding season and were crowned the champions in the AGSV Bowls Competition. Mr Mike Cody and Coach Bob Jones have been instrumental at increasing the group’s understanding of the game and their skill level.
The school is proud to offer a variety of activities for students to participate in that fall outside the traditional AGSV Sports.
Squash competed in the Melbourne Junior Pennant based at Westerfolds. In Term 4, the Firsts team won their division, while our Seconds and Thirds teams were runners up in their respective divisions.
While not regarded as an official AGSV Sport, Water Polo is played against schools including Trinity, Ivanhoe, Marcellin, Melbourne High and Whitefriars. Approximately 100 Camberwell students participated in the optional Spring Sport this year. The Camberwell Blue Junior A team won their division, while the Open B and A teams finished second and third respectively. Kayaking had consistent and excellent performances from many students in the squad, competing again at the Bendigo Cup and Cobram 40 Miler. Students were also involved in the Paddle to the City with other students from MLC and Trinity. With its extended season, it is another sport that requires dedication and skill.
Futsal, offered to Year 11 and 12 only, was played during Winter against Trinity in the Sports Centre. In a reduced competition from previous years, the inexperience of the Camberwell teams were unable to match the Trinity teams. Archery and Real Tennis are more recent additions to the Sport program 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.
Taekwondo moved to the Summer Season in 2019 and the students involved gained valuable experience and discipline from Barry Akehurst and Mr Hamish Green, with many advancing their belts. Meanwhile, the Orienteering squad successfully navigated their way around various venues across Melbourne thanks to Dr David Rodgers and his team. Baseball continued to operate in conjunction with North Balwyn Baseball Club where we fielded teams at Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 levels. 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. Jack Amling, Harry Swingler and Ryan Fitzgerald, as well as Alex Lew were strong performers. Mr Jones oversaw the Cycling squad in their multiple events and it was Zac Kelly who was crowned the series winner in the Senior Male A division. Up and coming cyclists, Logan Taplin, Timothy Yiew and Marcus Liew are ones to look out for in future seasons.
Golf had another season at Kew Golf Club for their training sessions and match play. Mr Teri Miriklis and Michael Light, the golf professional at the Club, put the students through a strenuous, yet rewarding program. Jasper Guthrie had an incredible season, finishing third at the annual AGSV/ APS/BAS Golf Championship, the highest a Camberwell Grammar student has placed for some time. Peter Lathouras, Joshua Yates and Callum Yates were also a part of the team that played in the Championship that finished fifth overall. The Snowsports squad competed in the annual Victorian All Schools Championships at Mount Buller and finished eighth of the boys schools entered. Declan Woolf, Arya Aminazad, Samuel Li and Hugh Watson were the standout performers during the weeklong event, earning themselves positions to compete in the National Schools Championships. Thank you to the Friends of Groups who made significant contributions to the Sport program this year. They organised memorable preseason launches and presentation nights, which recognised the efforts and achievements of the students within their respective sports. Their continued support is both important and highly appreciated.

Congratulations to the students on their fantastic achievements. We thank them for the contribution that their talent brings to Sport at Camberwell. 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 contribute to our success. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make sport at the school a memorable experience for all involved, particularly the students. Many of the school’s elite athletes have been mentioned in this report. However, it is the entire cohort of students that has made the Sport program enjoyable and as successful as it has been in 2019. I wish all students leaving the school a healthy and physically active future. Mr Lachlan Crawford Director of Sport
Despite its place as the newest Camberwell Grammar summer sport, Archery holds a special place for members of the squad. The defining feature of the 2018/2019 season was self-improvement. When you are sending arrows down range, you are always making sure your anchor-point is the same as the last shot, that your off-hand is not throwing off your shot and a seemingly infinite variety of other factors. The Archery squad found that there is nothing more infuriating than an arrow going off target and nothing more satisfying than the ‘thunk’ of an arrow hitting the gold centre of the target. Over the season people found themselves shooting at further and further targets, from 10 metres, all the way to 25 metre targets.
“Over the season people found themselves shooting at further and further targets, from ten metres, all the way to twenty‑five metre targets.”
Three years on from the beginning of the sport, the squad was able to put their hours of practice to the test with their first competition against the much more experienced Trinity squad. Although this was the first year of Archery for much of the CGS side, the squad put on a valiant effort with an overall average arrow score of 6.2 points compared to Trinity’s 6.7. However, there were some strong individual results, with Captain Rory Lewis and Vice-Captain Daniel Rice coming 1st and 4th out of all competitors. Special thanks to Vice Captain Daniel Rice for reorganising the equipment system, to the benefit of both CGS and Trinity, as well as our coach, Rob McKenzie of the Kew Archery Bowmen and our Master-in-Charge Mr Daniel for ensuring an excellent season of archery! Rory Lewis Captain I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Rory Lewis for his commitment and the excellent contribution he has made to Archery. Mr Michael Daniel Teacher in Charge

ATHLETICS
The 2019 Athletics Season was held during Term 3, with over 100 students from Years 6 to 12 participating in training, trial competitions and the AGSV Finals at Lakeside Stadium on 11 September. Training was held at either Doncaster track or on the KAO, with sessions run by a team of expert coaches led by former Olympic athlete Craig Mottram. It was pleasing to see attendance grow throughout the season, particularly from the younger age groups, with many athletes trying a range of events and showing excellent improvement throughout the season. Captain Matthew McKenna and ViceCaptain Harley Beechey led by example and provided outstanding support to both staff and boys, as the squad participated in five trial meets in the lead up to the Finals. Competition for places in the Finals team was fierce and credit should go to those selected, the reserves and those who supported their peers throughout the season. Tom Bowers and Ollie Spalding

However, it was the contribution of the whole squad that stood out at the Finals and the fact that 44 personal bests were set during the day speaks volumes. Special mentions should go to Benny Grayson for breaking the School Record in the U15 400m and Sebastian Beck in the U14 100m and 200m. The record for the U14 200m had stood since 1975. Overall, CGS finished fourth in the premiership, the highest finish since 2014. CGS won the first ever AGSV Athletics Championship in 1920 – could they repeat this feat 100 years later?

The summer sport season is now finished, after nine rounds of games and nine weeks of training. For every player, it was a long journey, but also an enjoyable one.
“The First IV Badminton team have once again had a successful season in retaining the AGSV Premiership Cup.” First IV Badminton The First IV Badminton team have once again had a successful season in retaining the AGSV Premiership Cup. The team consisting of Otto Zhao, Peter Zhao, William Nguyen, Luke Chen and William Li all displayed their willingness to push their physical boundaries during morning trainings and have shown great determination to win during their AGSV matches. The finals victory marks the 19th Premiership for CGS First IV Badminton team. Nevertheless, there was formidable opposition throughout the entirety of the season, in particular Yarra Valley Grammar School as well as Trinity Grammar School. The Camberwell team had a rough start, having lost to both schools at the beginning of the season. With their incredible players and coaching, both schools displayed outstanding skills and persistence, proving too much for us at the early stages of the season. Despite this, the First Badminton team were able to train hard during the morning sessions and eventually make it into the finals with Yarra Valley. Having played against the school three times over the course of the season (including the finals), Yarra Valley proved to be a difficult opposition with their persistence and outstanding skills. Nevertheless, the Camberwell team, with the 192 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
incredible coaching from Nick throughout the season and then Simon in the final week, were able to win the finals. On behalf of the Camberwell First team, I would like to thank all the teachers and coaching staff, particularly Nick Ong as well as the supervising teacher Mr Duong, for their tireless efforts to organize, train and support us over the past few months, the Premiership is a great reflection of all their hard work. With my last year at Camberwell coming to a close I would like to thank the First Badminton team for making this such an enjoyable experience. Day-in and day-out all players displayed a positive attitude, creating an incredibly supportive environment within the team. And their perseverance has led to our collective success. Whilst it is saddening to be leaving this amazing team, I couldn’t be leaving the team any happier. The talent all the players possess is exciting and I’m sure that Camberwell will continue to perform as long as these guys are here. With that, I wish all the guys the best for the years ahead. It’s been a great pleasure being their Captain, but really, it was a team effort. Jason Tran Captain
Since Term 4 last year, we had our training at school every Thursday afternoon. There we had professional instructions from our coaches, two Simons, and a great opportunity to try out our skills and thoughts during training. Many students were keen to improve their skills and get promoted next season. The sport competitions took place on every Saturday morning at Melbourne Badminton Centre. Students were divided in small teams from 4-6 players and took turns to play against other school teams. They wanted victory, but never feared loss, and they showed professionalism when facing defeat. Through the games, students got to know each other well and team spirit had been built among themselves. As a teacher, I also enjoyed having a game with my students and would say it was a great pleasure for me to be part of the Second and Third Badminton teams and will surely be looking forward to our next summer sport season. Mr Wei Ha Teacher in Charge
Year 7 and 8 Badminton When the season began in Term 2 many of the boys were new to Badminton. Learning the skills and rules was the first thing, but by the end of the term there had been a great improvement. On Saturday mornings our large team of 24 students competed against Trinity, Yarra Valley and Ivanhoe Grammar, with some good results. By the end of Round 9 the boys had mastered Badminton, thanks to some encouraging coaching from David our super Coach. Rev Charles Butler Teacher in Charge
BASEBALL
Under 17 Baseball The Under 17 Baseball team made great strides in its progress again this year. In no way is baseball a mainstream sport, nor is it an activity anyone on the team has had prior experience with. A relatively new squad, we are tossed headlong into the proverbial deep end, confronting players that have played since infancy and grown up to the ding of a home run with hardly 20 years of experience between us.
reaching above and beyond with his diving catches to keep us in contention. Infielders Macsen Mayne, Ben Price, Heny Pan and Jonathan Yen all stood their ground against the fierce barrage from the opposing batters, refusing to give a single inch against the onslaught of balls. Meanwhile, the outfield squad consisting of Lingming Hu, Daniel Ho and Vincent Jin were amazing in their relentless vigour, dauntlessly forbidding any flyballs from reaching the ground with their gloves.
We were sneered upon as the newbies, as the weak team which would simply roll over at the first obstacle. We were seen as merely seasonal players choosing baseball to fulfil the sporting criteria at our school. We were underestimated.
The combined efforts of this team led to our first victory in three years. We faced the strongest teams in the league, and instead of being steamrolled as was expected of us, we met them run for run, drawing even at the end of intense matches.
Nobody accounted for the spirit and courage with which our players hit the dirt, throwing themselves into every training and game with a mad zeal for victory. Whenever we showed up at the wet and damp fields before even the sun, we competed as a team unified in our pursuit of victory. Many times we were overwhelmed by the sheer experience and talent of the opposition – but never did we simply concede defeat, fighting each run with tooth and nail.
Our team’s ascension could not have been possible without the dedicated help of all the teachers, parents and coaches who have supported us through the coldest (and remotest) of matches. Thank you especially to Jeremy, our NBBC coach, Mr Thomas and Ms Eckersley for their unyielding support, and Ryan de Kretser, our treasured coach and mentor.
We were the dark horse, fighting back with continually improving skills and a ferocity to match. Pitchers Cody Greenwood and Tom Cooper – despite being new to the league – did not disappoint in their exemplary performances on the mound, denying batters any chances on base with screamers blazing right through the strike zone. Shortstop Ben Cheng was also a wall in the infield, creating multiple opportunities with extraordinary double plays. Leo Yang performed spectacularly as the stalwart third baseman, always
Most of us played together last year but Nicholas Graves was new this year and showed great ball skills pitching and hitting a homerun as our only lefthanded player. It was great to see a new player learning a new sport for the first time; who also ended up getting the Batting Award. Although the early mornings were rough with the wet grass, the boys managed to push through a full season with only a few forfeits. Conditions looked difficult for all the teams, despite the groundsman’s best efforts to clear the pitch before the game. It was the Camberwell Grammar spirit that kept the boys pushing through, even when the odds were heavily stacked against us. At the end of the season we managed to get into the Higher League (Major league), and with an unexpected draw got into the finals finishing fourth. Going out with true Camberwell spirit, we finished with eight wins, five losses, and two draws to end the season. Charles Mills

BASKETBALL First V Basketball
Second Gold Basketball
The First V Basketball team started their season with the preseason tournament hosted at Trinity Grammar School. With a young and eager squad, the boys were ready to impress and shake off the rust gathered during the off season. The boys competed well over all three of the games and were able to come away with two wins and one loss.
Harry Rush, Will Day and Geoffrey Gong, the engine room of Second Gold Basketball, all made prolific contributions to the team’s success this season. However, it was Ruben Hopkins who eventually was awarded the Best Player. Ruben became a focal point inside the key at both ends and was given tremendous service, particularly by Ben Ewens who lead as the favoured point guard.
For the first game of the season, the team travelled out to Mentone Grammar with speakers blaring on the ride up. During the game, the squad played well for the most part but were unable to keep up with the excellently coached Mentone squad. Coming out of their loss, the boys returned for their second game hoping for vengeance against Assumption. The team was able to execute the plays taught and memorised in training and were able to clinch one of the few wins of the 2018/2019 season.
The season’s highlight was against Trinity, at home in front of an enormous crowd. At the end of which, the lead swapped four times in the final minute. With four seconds on the clock, Gong inbounded long over the heads of the pressing Trinity defence, to Hopkins at half court. He deftly tapped the ball on to a running Harry Rush, who drove hard at the basket scoring a nerve tearing lay-up as the buzzer sounded to win by a point. The on and off-court celebrations, bolstered by the First Cricket team who had been waiting out a rain delay by watching the match, was one for the ages.
For the remainder of the season, the team struggled to maximise their full potential, however, with a young squad the boys learnt and grew together and now Mr Nick Martin looks to be a strong contending team for Teacher in Charge next season. Mr Tim Cross Teacher in Charge
Second Blue Basketball For an unprecedented second year in a row, Daniel Bowers took out the Best Player Award for Second Basketball. His cumulative impact on the scoreboard, rebounds and defensive work has amounted to possibly the most prolific total contribution to Second Basketball at Camberwell Grammar School in the last 10 years. Ironically however, it took Daniel three games to warm up this season and it was Ryan Walsh who dominated in these contributions for those matches.
His season was sadly cut short by cruel injury after that. Aksel Salins was the most improved player. His passing and defence became near perfect in the last half of the season and his contribution to the scoreboard was consistently reliable. Javana Jayawardena grew in leaps and bounds also, cementing his spot as the on-court ‘General’ as well as adding some stylish drives. A special commendation goes to Max Ramm and Ben Craigie whose commitment at training and on-court discipline were the driving force of the Camberwell wins. Mr Nick Martin Teacher in Charge
Third Blue Basketball The Third Blue Basketball team was a well-oiled machine this year. Consisting of Year 11 boys, they spoke volumes about their ambitions for their final year in the club, racking up win after win. Early in the morning or later in the day, at home or away they overcame the opposition. The only time they succumbed to the dreaded jaws of defeat was when playing their counterparts, the Camberwell Grammar Third Gold Basketball team – made up of Year 12 boys – who ended their dream of a clean sweep. Nevertheless, Jack Sturzaker was an inspirational leader and was well supported by the great height of Ben Hindhaugh. Thanks to Gordon Dixon for his invaluable coaching, guidance and support throughout the season. Mr Will Hone Teacher in Charge

Thanks to Gordon Dixon for his invaluable coaching, guidance and support throughout the season. Mr Will Hone Teacher in Charge
Fourth Blue Basketball The Fourth Blue team had an exciting and enjoyable season, even though the match results didn’t reflect this. Round 6 proved to be our most thrilling match with Matthew Deayton shooting a couple of three-pointer shots towards the end of each half giving us an edge against the Mitre team. Thomas Cook made some stunning rebounds throughout the season and Alex Ryan created many opportunities for scoring by intercepting passes and clever passing. There was consistent play from Philip Wang, Nic Feldt, Blake Huang, Steven Chen, Alex Zhang and Darcy de Rauch. Terrific effort team! We are looking forward to a more successful season next year.

This win led by strong efforts on the boards from Austin Petersen and great three-point shooting from Callum Rutledge and Jimmy Smith provided a great start to the year for the team. Another highlight was against a strong Trinity team away in the final match. Luke Doblin and Ben Wardlaw were pivotal in the win as they provided easy options to score against Trinity’s fierce zone.

9C Gold Basketball The 9C Gold Basketball team had a mixed season with a few close defeats including a 4-point loss to Peninsula in Round 4. The highlight of the season came in Round 3 where the team defeated PEGS in a low scoring contest by 8 points. Gus Bellchambers showed improvement throughout the season resulting in him winning the Most Valuable Player Award.
9C Mitre and Crest Basketball Both teams learnt a lot this season, being consistently challenged by their opponents. The boys demonstrated dedication, commitment and sportsmanship, working effectively in their respective teams. Their focus and willingness to learn and improve at training each Monday was commendable, and their skills were utilised effectively each Saturday. Each player showed respect to their teammates, both on and off the courts, and they should be congratulated for their efforts this season. Ms Laura Dubberley Teacher in Charge
8A Basketball The 2018/2019 8A Basketball team had an amazing season, achieving 7 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw despite losing one of our best players. Our team consisted of our MVP Adam Rizzo, and other players such as Aydan Yim, Ed Lord, Patrick Niu, Jordan Ng, Rhys Lee, Ming Zhou, Owen Henderson, Will Town and Harry Thomas. One of the highlights being our draw against Ivanhoe, where the team was down by 20 points but brought it back to a tie within the last five minutes of the game. The 8A team finished the season
8C Mitre Basketball The Mitre team opened with a close game against Yarra Valley Red, winning by just one point. What followed was an impressive season, Mitre dominating most of their games and losing just one against Marcellin Gold in round seven, with a respectable 45 – 24 final score. Jarrod Leong and Oscar Smith were both consistently impressive week after week, jointly awarded Most Valuable Player at the end of the season. Alex Dai and Henry Chew were also quick on the court and Tony Chen and Charles Mills ever-reliable in defence. Most notable was the team’s win against PEGS Red in round six. On the back of surf camp and grossly outnumbered with a team of just five players, Mitre outpaced their opposition and left victorious, with a final score of 37 – 10.
The 8B Basketball team had an amazing season, winning a lot of games by a significant margin with some close ones in the mix too. The whole side was around the same skill level with no-one trailing behind. Our guards knew how to bring the ball up the court and would be able to get the ball to one of our many sharpshooters who would finish with a jump shot. Ms Amanda Kollosche Although it sometimes took us quite a while to get the ball into the ring, we always Teacher in Charge managed. All in all, the 8B side put in an outstanding effort this season. 7A Basketball William Allsop
8C Blue and 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. They 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 was very unlucky towards the end with some closely fought losses. 8C Gold had a rollercoaster of a season with brilliant wins and some losses as well, however, they finished the season on a high with a one‑point win over Trinity. There were outstanding performances by many players throughout the season. Xavier Treacy and Nathan Rice put in consistent efforts throughout the season to take out the MVPs for their respective teams. A special mention to Albert Guan with his burst of speed bringing the ball down the court and Connor Stavrakis, Charles Campbell-Cowan, Jimmy Devine, Archie Lowe, Charlie Leong and Isaac Lin for their consistent team play. On behalf of the team I would like to thank our coach Harry McLeod who did an amazing job and to all the parents who came and supported the players.
The 7A Basketball team had a very successful season. We had a few stand out players such as Harry Clarke who was brilliant under and around the basket, Jackson Haintz and Will Joy grabbing strong rebounds, Joel Burton a reliable point guard who could bring the ball up the court and shoot the lights out and Mason O’Neil who was a strong passer with great ball-handling skills. Ryder Cheesman was a reliable top performer each week, a deserving recipient of the MVP Award: a reliable guard to bring the ball up the court and drive to the ring, and an accurate shot from any position. Every player brought their skills and talents to the game, and we grew together as a team as the season progressed. The team had an unfortunate first lost to Yarra Valley, then the week after came back stronger with a convincing win over Assumption. Then our third game we were unlucky, losing by only two points to Mentone; but we came back harder the next week with a win over the previously undefeated Trinity. Overall, the team was happy with the results of the games with two wins and two losses. Many thanks to Mr Wyatt and Noah Marshallsay for coaching us and supporting us throughout the season.

We started with a 16 to 31 loss against PEGS but with every training session our next game was so much better as skill levels and teamwork improved. Our second game was not the best against Trinity, 24 to 64. Henry had a great game and it was a lot more of a team effort. The third game...WOW! Now that was a game. It was against Ivanhoe and we won. It was intense. We were so enthusiastic and we wanted to win. We were winning in the first half for most of it, but they came back and it was neck-to-neck for the whole last half. With ten seconds left Nick passed to Henry who passed to Will and back to Nick with two seconds...one second...Nick jumps back and shoots… we won our first game! We all were so excited we were jumping and Nick was the star of that game! It was great and the final score was 30 to 28. It was so close, but in the end, it showed great teamwork. This was our best illustration of sportsmanship. Our last game against Peninsula Grammar was the biggest win with the scores 26 to 12. Justin, Joe and Sabir with rebounding, Henry, Will and Nick with the full court press and Charlie, Aidan, Jack, Luca and Damian with great defence and contribution were how we won.
7B Basketball The 7B Basketball team had a great season. After a slow start losing to Peninsula, we fought back and got two convincing and encouraging wins against Assumption Gold and PEGS. We had some impressive players: Lachie McGowan was great at layups, Jason Liang was strong driving to the basket, Christian and Jacob Evans were massively important in defence, Jamison Smith rebounded like crazy, Josh Tomlin played very well and Ryder Smith was draining

7C Gold Basketball Our first game, against PEGS was great, we beat them a whopping 59-4! Some standout players were Hugh and Ben, who both did incredibly well both offensively and defensively.
Our second game was against Trinity and unfortunately we lost 25-36. But it was a great game, with Trinity pulling ahead in the first half, after which we made a comeback, but it was short-lived, as Trinity managed to pull ahead and win the game. The third game was close, with only seven points in between Ivanhoe and us, but we managed to take home a victory (34-27). Both Will and James played outstanding games, with many assists to their names. Our fourth and last game against another Trinity team made up our third win of the season. But again, it was close, the final scores being 28-15. Sam played well and helped the team out a lot. Overall our season went well, everyone worked cooperatively and contributed to the team. Congratulations to everyone in the team for winning three of four matches and for playing so well. Nathan Bosmans Captain
7C Mitre and Crest Basketball The 7C Mitre and Crest teams both enjoyed successful seasons and there is plenty of strength in depth in the Year 7 cohort. 7C Mitre showed a huge amount of teamwork on and off the court and managed to win all four of their AGSV matches. Noah Shinnick was the team’s top points scorer often combining in attack with Timothy Lu, Parker Rush, Campbell Davidson, Xander Lee and Ioan Hillard all took on leadership responsibilities and made significant contributions throughout the season. Hugo Stevens, Jim Zhu and George Kitsoulis also played important roles and scored some key points. 7C Crest also played an impressive season. In the first two matches, Jamison Smith and Savith Jayasuriya were the standout players, helping the team to two convincing victories. After these two players deservedly joined the B team, it was pleasing to see other players fill the void and score the points. Max Pringle, Louis Treacy and Joshua Ng all deserve great credit for their contributions. JP Ma, Brayden Chew and Lucas Hu all took on leadership roles and scored vital points at critical times. Credit should also go to Justin Liu and William Zhang for the improvements they made throughout the season. Mr Mark Mews Teacher in Charge

Second XI Cricket
Third Cricket
The First XI Cricket team had a relatively successful season finishing with three wins, four losses and an unfortunate wash-out. On the back of a disappointing winless season last year, the boys were determined to fight back and make a convincing push towards finals. The season started tough, coming up against three of the four eventual finalists in the first three rounds. Despite the 3 losses, there were plenty of encouraging signs that the team could build upon, including classy half-centuries from Jordan McCleery and Vihaan Narayana and impressive bowling performances from Tom Graves and Ned Bennett. Round four saw a combined team effort contribute to a magnificent win, breaking a near two-year drought without a win. On the back of this, the team went on to win another two matches against Ivanhoe and Yarra Valley to make a convincing case towards finals. Unfortunately, with a bye in the last round and percentage not on our side, the team narrowly missed out on finals. However, this disappointment will be put to use next season as the team looks to emulate the success we had in the back half of the season. A huge thank you to our assistant coaches, Mr Sofoulis and Mr Robinson for their incredible help throughout the year and of course our coach Richard Clifton for his unbelievable commitment and dedication.
The Second XI Cricket team enjoyed a wonderful season this summer, making it thoroughly enjoyable on and off the field. Through the consistent efforts from the playing group, all players showed a marked improvement in skill and strategy in all facets of the game. By the end of the summer, the boys managed to secure three good wins with our largest losing margin; a mere 26 runs, a telling sign of the determined approach of the team.
The Third Cricket team, consisting of three different year levels, were slow to gel due to a Round 1 washout and a lack of training opportunities, but by Round 3 they were playing well enough to comfortably defeat Marcellin. Tim Heavey, Jarrod Papadopoulos (who took our Catch of the Year), Alex Niarchos and Angus Corr were our batting stalwarts, with the latter increasingly ceding responsibility for captaining the side to up and comer Dan Sunderland. A highlight of the season was our game at PEGS where, finding ourselves one player short and needing to borrow one of their players, an exciting game, full of camaraderie, followed. We also got to play on a turf wicket in our last match; a first for most of our players. Season’s end found us with one win, two washouts (one of which we were winning when the rain came), three byes and four losses. Thanks to Old Boy Josh Cooper for running our training sessions and coaching/ umpiring on Saturdays.
Sam Garrard Captain
At practice and on game day it was clear that the boys were proud to represent the school; always looking to improve their skills and give back to their teammates, with advice, suggestions and of course, quite a lot of banter. Finn Weston is to be commended for how he led his troops; always recognising the effort and forever leading by example. The match against Mentone was one of the most significant and exciting highlights. Whilst we fell 26 runs short, the performance of Ki Herold (37 from 28), Blake Pearson (56 from 34) and Luke Matthews (24 from 24) to fight back after a modest start was impressive.
Mr Andrew Beale Teacher in Charge
Courage was consistently demonstrated in our batting, with no better example than Michael Campbell and Rian MacLennan at the top of the order against quality and sharp bowling attacks. Gareth Cox and Marc Dalla Riva showed big improvement with pivotal roles with the bat, ball and in the field at regular stages through the season. Luke Matthews and James Harker are players to watch in the future and Oliver Brown, Sam Lord and Michael Dimatos were regularly brought on to break a partnership and never failed to comply.

“The boys were proud to represent the school; always looking to improve their skills and give back to their teammates.” 9A Cricket Under the captaincy of Will Howell, the team had a successful season winning all but one of their games. The team was notable for its sportsmanship, teamwork and the high level of individual performance down the batting and bowling order. Josh Davidson and Ben Grlj partnered to make 68 batting against Ivanhoe. Josh and Will both scored over 100 runs over the season. Harry Gittins was a wall as the keeper, taking several catches. Mitchell Horn and Caleb Smith applied consistent
pressure when bowling along with many others. There was a consistent turnout of parent support who ran warm-up activities and put on morning tea each week for the boys. They were an enthusiastic and committed group who gave their best. Mr Andrew Worsnop Teacher in Charge
9B Cricket The 9B Cricket team struggled to get out on the field during the season with washouts and byes limiting the team to only five matches. Unfortunately, the team was unable to register a win in those five matches with the 15-run loss to PEGS being the closest contest. Rafael Bird was consistent all season, continually improving and winning the Most Valuable Player Award.

The 8A cricket team played very well together and have now been undefeated for two seasons. Harry Watson and Owen Cox
7/8B Cricket The recent season proved to be quite demanding and a somewhat disappointing one for the 7/8B Cricket team. After the initial match was cancelled due to inclement weather, the remaining eight games of the season culminated in a constant series of losses; having said that, the margin between our scores and those of our opposing teams was generally narrow. It cannot be doubted that the team performed skilfully and impressively on occasions, with some razor-sharp bowling and some pin-point batting. Captained by the infinitely modest and inspirationally mature Hayden Bourke, the boys were enthusiastic and energetic in their approach to every match. At the end of the day, they played for the sheer fun and joy of it. Mr Samuel Gough Teacher in Charge
SPORT 7A Cricket Nineteen enthusiastic 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 batsmen consisting of Michael Chen, Harrison Car, Luke Cariss‑Brett (Captain) and Oliver Lowe (Vice-Captain) all made valuable contributions in each game and dictated terms to the opposition from the first ball. Michael Chen mandatorily retired after reaching 30 runs in both of his innings. This set the side up to post a defendable total. He was ably supported by the hard‑hitting Oliver Lowe and the straight bat of Harrison Car.
with swing and pace. This made it incredibly difficult for any team to gain momentum throughout their innings. Our key allrounder, Oliver Lowe was able to make a positive influence late in the innings by taking wickets in quick succession with his accurate, fast-pace bowling. The highlight of our bowling this season was Matthew Hoyling’s hattrick (all clean bowled) up in Kilmore against Assumption College. In that match, he finished with figures of 3/3 and the season, 7 wickets for just 20 runs. Congratulations to the 7A boys for beginning their Camberwell Grammar School sporting career undefeated in the four games played, including the first game that was unfortunately washed out. 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, Will McIlroy (Old Boy, 2018) for his valuable input and guidance he provided the group throughout the season.

CROSS COUNTRY
This year Camberwell Grammar School continued its involvement in AGSV Cross Country, and enjoyed the continued support of coaches Craig Mottram and Riley Shaw, in what has been a successful season for the squad, seeing a close battle to take Trinity’s space on the podium. The junior division had many new faces as per the typical influx of new runners each year, and among them, numerous standout athletes. Although pit against a challenging field, Camberwell’s juniors were resilient and consistent, with strong performances all round, especially by Daniel Chen, Mathew Treagus, Jack Dobbyn, Marcus Liew, Ray He and Harrison Car, who finished the season as the second placed Year 7 runner in AGSV. 202 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
The intermediate runners were also faced with a challenging division, made all the more difficult by the field being smaller and more competitive than past years. Nonetheless the Year 9 and 10 students managed a respectable effort with impressive performances by Lachlan Wei, Colby Gale, and newcomer to the squad, Kyle Scheer in Year 9, and similarly impressive results by Jimmy Smith, Emmanuel Yassa and John Williams from Year 10. Camberwell’s senior division worked well together to endure several six km courses with notable performances by Taran Laurence, and new additions to the team Matthew Power and Tom Bowers, who fought hard to earn first place amongst the
AGSV Year 11s. These awesome efforts by the Year 11s were complemented by Year 12s Harry Swingler, Jack Amling and Vice-Captain Oscar Tong, who all worked admirably to support the team and secure Camberwell’s final position on the ladder. Despite having closely contested a coveted spot on the podium against Trinity, the squad came fourth overall, nevertheless a testament to the squad’s efforts. However, with the improvements made by many this year and with an eye on the future progress of the squad, the team looks poised for an excellent season next year, and in those to follow.

CYCLING
The season has been transformative. Monday afternoon training sessions shifted to Hawthorn velodrome and Wednesday afternoon trainings were capped off with a weekly summer criterium race at Kew Teardrop. These Wednesday evening races, run by Hawthorn Cycling Club, gave us the boost we were looking for. CGS cyclists often stepped on the podium, walking away with the prized energy bar, cycling bottle or bike accessory as token trophies. Cyclists who gave it their all, constantly willing to learn and develop their race craft. Marcus Liew and Timothy Yeow were common fixtures on the dais. Logan Taplin was particularly dominant, taking Junior A grade podium top spot 2 weeks on the trot. This promoted Taplin to Senior D grade. The team kicked the official season off with Round 1 of the Victorian Interschool Cycling Series. A brutal race against the clock on the unforgiving Casey Fields in Cranbourne. With nowhere to hide and no-one to draft, this was the race which determined our ultimate racing divisions. Charlie Reid-Pettett captured the silver medal in Junior Male B grade, clocking up a phenomenal 30kph, right on the wheel of the lead cyclist. Encountering a morning mechanical issue, Marcus Liew faced a gargantuan disadvantage, his bike gears jammed, limiting him to the big ring. Undeterred, Marcus managed to truck onwards and pass the finish line in fourth place. Also qualifying for Junior B grade was Elliot Fry and Aren Dosser. These boys were just outside the top 10 for B grade and maintained an impressive average speed nearing 27kph.

The Camberwell Grammar Cycling Squad has had a phenomenal 2018/2019 season. A journey of blood, sweat and tears for the cycling team as we endured rain, hail and shine, broken bicycles and broken-down buses. We even managed to win a bike race or two along the way.
In Senior Male B, Jonathan “Jono” Seeley battled an unforgiving headwind and a head cold. He finished admirably in fourth place, only four seconds off the podium and 16 seconds after the first place winner. In Senior Male A, Captain Zac Kelly set a blistering pace, averaging 41.4kph over the 13.2km. This put him on the top of the podium and a serious contender for the overall win. Top 10 finishes for Round 1 Casey Fields also included Jonathan Vais and Logan Taplin. Round #2 was a short criterium around the local Kew Boulevard ‘Teardrop’ circuit, our home ground. Ned Chesler took home the second place in C grade in truly spectacular style. Ned broke away from the bunch and put 20 seconds into the next place behind him. Marcus Liew managed to find himself in a small move off the front of the peloton. He chased the leaders to close the gap. In the closing kilometres, the odds were stacked heavily against Marcus, but, in true ’Weller spirit’, he earnt himself a commendable fourth place. Back in the peloton, Charlie
Reid-Pettett, Aren Dosser and Elliot Fry were busy fighting their own battle. Charlie took the golden opportunity and slingshotted off the front of the bunch in the closing kilometres to finish in 7th place. Meanwhile, Aren and Elliot were caught in a mass bunch sprint. Elliot and Aren powered through the pack, finishing 2nd and 5th respectively. The Senior Male C field raced for the line with Alex Guorgi only 11 seconds off the podium. Captain Zac Kelly took out the field in the premier Senior Male A category climbing again to the top spot of the podium and retaining the overall series leader jersey. At the end of Round 2, we farewelled our magnificent coach, Mark O’Brien. Mark ‘Marco’ O’Brien began coaching the Camberwell Grammar Cycling Squad at the beginning of the season in 2017/2018 season. The boys have been so lucky to hear stories and receive advice from one of the best cyclists in Australia. His enthusiasm, friendly attitude and ‘have fun’ leadership inspired us to strive harder and come together as a team. His contributions to the Camberwell Grammar Cycling and Open Day Cycling donations were greatly appreciated.

He won the Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic Race - twice. The longest and oldest bike race in Australia. He also won the 2018 Grafton to Inverell Cycling Classic, touted as Australia’s toughest one-day cycling race. Nathan started with the Camberwell crew in the new academic year, midseason, and has thoroughly enjoyed his short time with us. Round 3, the day of Jayco Herald Sun Tour was to be the first event of 2019. This is a chance to race ahead of the cycling professionals and then watch their 89.1km colossus race as they cycled the Tan. Unfortunately, the heat and technical difficulties cancelled the school cycling event. The big race still took place and those in attendance were able to see the
official race cyclists fly through the course and enjoy the festivities. Round 4 saw the squad head to Sandown Racecourse in Melbourne’s south-east. The team time trial saw boys in groups of 3 or 4 race against the clock. We welcomed the new squad members, Jason Li, Timothy Yeow, Lachlan Kruse and Kelvin Le. Timothy and Jason finished 9th with team-mates Ned Chesler and Marcus Liew, a sign of future podium successes. Our Neo-pros sparked good team rivalry, beating the seasoned team of Charlie ReidPettett, Aren Dosser and Elliot Fry by just 20 seconds. Zac Kelly, Jono Seeley and James Stambe had a successful day out via the malfunctioning sprinkler system of Sandown. They romped home in 5th place with a wet cycling kit and big smiles. Round 5 had us on the bus, trekking to Geelong, to ride the twisty 2.4km and 18 corner circuit at Belmont Common. The twisty turns and fast winds meant it was on from the start. Captain Zac Kelly kept the overall series jersey with a third place in Senior Male A. Logan Taplin took third
place in a nail-biting finish in Senior Male C. Timothy Yeow stormed home to take third place in Junior Male C, right on the wheel of first and second place cyclists. Kudos to Ned Chesler coming in 6th in Junior Male C out of 20 riders. The come from behind story – was Senior Male B Jonathan Seeley with a deflated tyre, right on the start line as the race took off. Heading back to the CGS marquee, the pit crew swarmed around him, transponder moved over to back up the bike, lots of encouragement and he was rushed back to the start line and into the race. A full lap down, he slowly clawed his way back from last place to finish a credible 6th. Kevin Chan powered on to bring it all together for a mass bunch sprint. The downhill tailwind sprint meant riders were hitting speeds of over 60kph. All riders performed admirably, on a tight course with many sharp turns. Round 6, the penultimate round. Up next was the Team time trial and criterium, both running on the same day at the infamous Casey Fields. Camberwell had

checked on Elliot’s welfare. On receipt of a thumbs-up, Marcus raced off to catch up with the leaders. Marcus, no stranger to the podium, was a contender for the podium but this John Landy moment is a prized memory of the day. In Junior Male C, up and coming student Timothy Yeow claimed 5th place just in front of Ned Chesler (7th). Timothy has been racing in midweek school cycling events at the Kew Teardrop, claiming a podium finish in many of the races. Round 7 and the final round. A chilly sunrise at Kew Teardop illuminated the weary faces of parents, coaches and officials. The school marquees were raised, bibs were pinned and transponders clipped on to bike frames for the last event of the season. The math was crunched, Captain Zac just had to stay on his bike and play it safe. He had played the series well and only had to conservatively place 6th or better to take the gong as the 2018/2019 overall interschool cycling series winner. To the crowd’s delight and his coaches’ grin, Zac doesn’t do ‘conservative’. Zac and his closest rival put on a blistering early attack, leaving the pack and the riding marshals far behind in their wake. With every lap, the top two riders compounded their lead and before long, lapped most of those on the course. Though the series win was seemingly in the bag, Zac was determined to win this last race. Taking the hairpin corners at maximum speed, Zac often ran dangerously close to the kerb. Each turn drew a collective sharp intake of breath from spectators. They knew only a crash would deny Zac the series win. In the final few laps, Zac dug deep, burning through the resolve of his rival. In his last lap, his lead insurmountable, the race and the
series win was assured. To thunderous applause and cheers, he rounds the last hairpin corner and crossed the finish line in first place. Marcus Liew not only had some amazing results this season but also, his off the bike performance should be acknowledged. Whilst he got quite used to the podium, Marcus contributed to the running of the squad, assisting others load bikes and encouraging others in their races. For his contributions and team spirit, Marcus was awarded the 2018/2019 Camberwell Grammar Cycling Clubman Award. The Brian Nguyen Junior Encouragement Award recipient for 2018/2019 is Ned Chesler.

FENCING A squad of 40 dedicated fencers took on the competition in 2019 and gave a very good account of themselves. Our Senior fencers achieved a number of final eight and top three finishes, thanks largely to Anderson Sulewski and Henry Smith, and our Juniors were overall champions after wresting the shield from Scotch College after four long years. Julian Lim exploded onto the Junior scene with a podium finish in three of the four individual competitions and a gold medal in both team competitions, regularly fencing against boys two and three years older. Under the outstanding leadership of our captain, James Gunasegaram, the astute tutelage of our long-time coach, Pieter Leeuwenburgh, and the wise oversight of Mr Matthew Wood and Mr Joe Tierney, the CGS boys fenced, won and lost with gallantry and good sportsmanship.

First XVIII Football The First XVIII Football team demonstrated their notable focus on playing a more attacking brand of football, in comparison to previous years, during its two practice matches during the preseason, displaying confidence in their ability to move the ball and some dangerous avenues for scoring in the forward line. Unfortunately, a lack of polish prevented the team from capitalising on this ambitious game plan when the quality of the opposition pressure increased during their first home and away season match-up with Trinity in the Mitre Cup. After two weeks, the group had established an identity as a contested ball winning and pressure side, which allowed the team to execute a simplified game plan, matching the eventual runners-up – Assumption – until late in the fourth quarter, before the margin became too great to overcome. Similarly, the First XVIII battled evenly with Peninsula, almost completing a fearless comeback, however two late Peninsula goals deprived Camberwell of its maiden win. Ryan Walsh and Oscar Cirulis, captain and vice-captain respectively, lead with their consistent effort throughout the season, while Finn Weston and Liam Thomas were lively in the forward half. A positional change, moving Harry McColl into the backline, saw him become one of the team’s most important players in the second half of the season.
the boys showed great development in their skills and general toughness around the ball, and I look forward to hearing of many of their exploits next year. Meanwhile, I would like to thank Tony Bellinvia for his invaluable support in coaching the boys, Jack Sturzacker for his captaincy and the many parents who came week after week to help with the goal umpiring and to give voice to our boys efforts. It was a season to celebrate and to build upon as we run towards our collective and glorious footballing future.

Third XVIII Gold Football As numbers settled, we discovered that for the first time in many years we could field three teams at Years 11 and 12 level, and so two teams were entered in the Thirds competition. But how to divide the players into the two units? Ryan Albert pleaded and cajoled for a stand-alone Year 12 team, and his perseverance was rewarded.
Opinions are divided on whether Oliver Papillo’s goal or his subsequent behind was the highlight of the season, but both were memorable. Many thanks to James Cusack, who provided excellent training drills and wise advice, and to Mr Gough, who faithfully wielded the twin calicoes.

Early into the season it became evident who the standout leaders were as their charismatic skills and captivating perseverance became noticed.
The Inter C Gold Football team had a very convincing season. The boys managed to pull away with four wins and five losses, showing very promising signs for the years to come. The boys began the season playing at the notorious Ivanhoe Plenty Campus, showing very hopeful signs for the rest of the game. The next few weeks were a bit up and down, with two wins and four losses. We all deserved a hardearned two-week break, coming back nice and refreshed. We all headed down the coast towards Mount Eliza, to kick start the last third of the season. Unfortunately, we came back with a loss on our hands, but this was about to change, as we beat Marcellin with a thrilling comeback in the last quarter. In the final round, all the boys were pumped like there was no tomorrow, set to play our archrivals, Trinity. Even though we had to accept defeat, the boys loved the season.

The 2019 Futsal Blue squad started the season with a tough start against Trinity Gold, going down 8-0. The team built much needed chemistry over the trainings and saw a spectacular win against the Camberwell Gold team, with a great performance from goalkeeper, Dean Roff, with stellar goals from Nathan Feng, Roy Wang, Tommy Siu and Joshua Choong and strong defence from Nicholas He. Throughout the season, the boys made great strides to improve their gameplay, especially their shooting. However, the games continued to be a struggle, at times due to the shortage in numbers and energy. The season ended in a game between the rival Camberwell teams, with a close loss for us. The game saw great improvements in teamwork and passing from Leon Shang and Harvey Xiao.
The Camberwell Grammar Gold Futsal team played a well-fought season. All players demonstrated an exceptional amount of skill on the court and the team was able to secure a few victories. The defence line backed by Harrison Pham and Tom Lee provided a strong basis for the solid formation. The midfield was dominated by Felix McCuaig and Rory Lewis who both fought hard to ensure the ball reached the attack line. The team’s strongest kickers, Henry Sutton and Ray Son in the forward line were able to capitalise on the ball upon numerous occasions to find the back of the net with the aid of some well-placed throws by the keeper.

After a strong year prior and a solid preseason tournament, the First XI Hockey team looked poised for another successful year. However, some injuries to key players early in the season saw Camberwell lose the first game to archrival Trinity 2-1, in what proved to be a thriller of a match. In the next game, Camberwell managed to pull off a 6-4 win in a tough and exciting match against eventual finalists, Ivanhoe, which reaffirmed Camberwell’s strength despite not being able to field their full side. Back to a full-strength squad, a strong showing against in the Grand Final rematch saw Camberwell roll PEGS 12-1. A further impressive showing against Ivanhoe in the semi-final lead Camberwell to a Grand

Max Ramm starred as a superbly reliable centre half, with the dynamic James Thorn combining with Dylan Kitchener, Chris Golz and Will Murray for attacks on goal.

The 10A team enjoyed a highly successful season, finishing the year undefeated. This outcome is even more meritorious, given that the side fielded only 11 players most weeks due to injuries and illness. Connor Assauw was outstanding as goalie, providing direction on the field and stopping numerous shots at goal. He was ably assisted in defence by Sam Parmenter, Oliver Hu and Luke Doblin. Through the middle of the field, Ki Herold and Best and Fairest winner Alex Lew controlled the ball and distributed it adeptly to forwards Christian Rogan and the hard running Illian Aendenroomer who contributed the majority of the team’s goals for the season. Highlights for the season were the two draws against traditional rival Trinity Grammar and the one all draw against Mentone Grammar where CGS could only field seven players against a Mentone side running six substitutes off the bench. Best of luck to all team members as they progress to the school’s First and Second squads next year.

Week 1 of the season, the 9/10B Blue team faced off against Trinity Green. A quick start to the match saw Camberwell scoring the first goal of the game. However, Trinity soon started their counterattack and was able to slowly destroy Camberwell’s defence. This led to an unfortunate defeat.

It has been a dominant display of skill throughout the season. After the first few rounds, the boys were still working out the strength of the team.

The team had also been able to show the true sense of ‘teamwork’ by volunteering to be part of the Year 7B team.

KAYAKING

The past summer has truly been a success for the entire kayaking squad. Returning with a host of new faces and led by an everreliable team of senior paddlers, the team collectively achieved enormous success in all its endeavours. Last December, we all headed out to the most arduous race of the season: the Ben Ward 40 Miler, at Cobram. Underneath the scorching forty-degree sun, the Camberwell squad determinedly slogged through twenty kilometre legs of unforgiving sandbars and eddies and snags, from freshly minted (and endlessly optimistic) Year 6s to the aging near-fossilised Year 12s. It was under this burning sun that the true qualities of the kayaking squad began to shine. Through the cold fury of the Melbournian mornings to the scorching wrath of the Aussie sun, the perseverance and dedication shown by all the members of the squad was nothing short of inspiring. Where the senior members led from the front, the junior members never failed to push us from behind, driving all of us to greater heights and more distant horizons.

Special thanks to John Campbell, Ms Papaioannou, Ms Enniss and Mr Lockwood for all your help and support. And finally, from Cameron, Declan, James and myself, thank you to all the boys of the squad.

SOCCER
First XI Soccer The Camberwell Grammar First XI Soccer team had an extremely successful year in all facets of the game. With a strong preseason under the belt as well, we held an optimistic view to better last year’s frankly disappointing sixth place. Wins against reigning champions Trinity and PEGS kick started the season and instilled belief amongst the camp, which was dubbed as the “best performance I’ve seen from a school team” by the PEGS coach. A win against Ivanhoe and three more draws the following weeks confirmed our spot in the finals, finishing in third place on the table in an undefeated season – an incredible achievement! For the first time since 2010, Camberwell Grammar had made the finals series and up next was a Mitre Cup rematch, with Trinity playing host to a bullish Camberwell outfit. A win was required to progress, and in minute 76 of the match, the deadlock was broken by a fantastic Jasper Guthrie strike which ultimately sealed our fate. With that, we were off to PEGS for the ultimate match of the season, and although a 2-1 loss on the day, stoic defending from Dean Christofilopoulos and Henry Macdonald was characteristic in this game as it had been all season, conceding the fewest goals in the league. Special mentions to Tristan Patsiotis in his vital role in midfield all season and Chris Han for always looking threatening in the attacking 220 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019

Second XI Soccer The Second XI Soccer, overall, had a great season winning more games than they lost. We got off to a great start with a comfortable win over Mentone 6-0 with a great performance by Matt Wu scoring a hat trick from right wing. Unfortunately, this early success was quickly forgotten after losing the next two games to Marcellin and PEGS despite the best efforts of Spike Johnson and Michael Barry who both played extraordinarily well. From this point forward the boys picked themselves up and bounced back with strong wins over Ivanhoe and Yarra Valley, where Jeremy Gassin and Shiv Malik both shone. The highlight of the season was the team’s improvement, after losing 4-0 at the beginning of the season, to gaining a hard-fought draw against PEGS, which could only be described as one of the most exciting 0-0 draws of all time. Lewis Winkett was man of the match, receiving compliments
from the oppositions team coach on his organisation of the back four. The final game of the season was one to remember, as the boys came up against rivals Trinity. All the boys were fired up and showed how much they wanted it, and this proved to be the deciding factor, as Camberwell won comfortably 5-1, thanks to an outstanding performance from Matt McKenna. A massive thanks from all the boys to Lucas for coaching and Mr Cross for his tactical substitutions. All in all, a great season for the seconds. Harry McDonald Captain
Third Blue Soccer There were some fine moments of play this season from the Third Blue team; Lachlan Brown’s Bend it Like Beckham effort in gusty conditions, swims in the imagination. So too does Steven Poon’s horizontal alertness in the opposition goal nets, early in the season certainly won the side a few of its games. When this group of young men decide that a win was best left in the reminder bin, along with the other penny-dreadfuls, heads were justifiably bowed. A clobbering at the hands of PEGS really smacked, given that it was at home! Consistent standouts this season was the Best and Fairest, Cameron Martin and the Coach’s Award recipient Liam Cooper.

Tony Zhang, Jacky Li, Todd Tao, Meng Sheng and Linus Opat provided support from the wings, whilst on defence, Jai Singh commanded our forces, comprising Leon Feng, Matthew Ridley, Michael Pham and Alex Shen.

Even though we won only one game, it was in our final game against Mentone—a fitting finale for a season of fantastic effort and close-knit camaraderie! Thanks to all.
While the Fourth Mitre Soccer team didn’t achieve any victories for the season, they presented as a determined force who would always enjoy their game and never give up. In the early stages of the season they found themselves forced into strongly defensive play. Both Thomas Cox and Austin Yim deserve a special mention for the skill and resilience they displayed as the team’s goalkeepers. As the season progressed, the team learnt to communicate more effectively and consequently they were able to play more strategically. Oliver Powell as team captain displayed endless energy and leadership inspiring optimism both on and off the field. Nathan Shi, was the team’s quiet achiever, always positioning himself well to assist and move the ball forward.

Intermediate A Soccer It has been a positive season for the Inter A Soccer team. Despite some mixed results, performances improved throughout the season. It was good to see the game style improve and players develop their skills. Unfortunately, not having a permanent goalkeeper negatively impacted the game and whilst the boys that volunteered put in a great effort, the team’s performance sometimes fell short as a result. It was great to see the team bond throughout the season with injured players who attended matches to support the team as well as with players from other teams. It has been a very positive season overall and I am sure that a number of players will be selected for the firsts next year. Ms Christelle Phanjoo Teacher in Charge
Intermediate B Soccer The Inter B Soccer team enjoyed a mixed season this year, racking up four wins and four losses. The team had strength and talent in every aspect as well as brilliant determination in every match. Every match was played with passion and intensity and every player always gave one hundred percent. The team enjoyed a flood of goals and demonstrated not only great ability but great sportsmanship, highlighting the values of CGS. Each player gave their best efforts in every match regardless of the outcomes and the team showed great maturity and brilliant chemistry throughout the season.
Intermediate C Blue Soccer To say the Inter C Blue Soccer team had one of the most intense and fatiguing rollercoasters of a season yet, is an understatement. The team constantly found themselves switching between strolling through games effortlessly and being pushed to their absolute limits. Each new game had become unpredictable and presented a new challenge, only further cementing that the stakes were higher than ever before. In many matches the team proved victorious. In the process however, many were lost. But somehow the team was never shaken or put off by their failures. Camberwell Grammar may not have the poise and finesse of the more athletically able schools, but they certainly showed resilience. In the face of losing 2-1, a minute left, possibly even a player or two absent, and an unending exhaustion, Camberwell will stop at no cost to get that final goal through, against all odds, even if it means a corked thigh and a scratch or two (or five!).

Intermediate C Gold Soccer The Inter C Gold Soccer team enjoyed a successful season throughout 2019. With only a couple of changes from the team members from the previous season, this enabled the boys to recommence their endeavours with a familiarity and awareness as to each player’s respective style and strengths. A determined and focused approach at both trainings and matches ensured the team were well prepared for each encounter. Whilst opposition teams were often highly competitive, it was particularly pleasing that the team maintained an undefeated run until the very last round of the season. Whilst hoping to maintain their unblemished record, for the second year running, the team suffered defeat in the final round, albeit under questionable circumstances. Nonetheless, the players are to be commended on their performance and application throughout the season and they look to go one better next year! Mr Roger Devine Teacher in Charge
Intermediate C Mitre Soccer If success was measured purely by considering the win-loss ratio, then it was a somewhat disappointing season.

Our hardest matches were against Assumption (Round 5) Ivanhoe Plenty (Round 6) and Trinity (Round 7) where we were outplayed by extraordinarily skilled opponents. We also struggled with injuries and illness, which reduced our numbers and competitiveness in these matches.

The end of the Winter Sports season is a good time to reflect on the value of playing a team sport. Despite achieving few victories this season, the boys enjoyed playing the game. They showed strong commitment to their team by attending training sessions. All members of the team demonstrated the ability to improve their soccer skills through practice and listening to their coach. There was a marked improvement in skills and teamwork throughout the season. They were prepared to share key positions such as goalie and dedicated themselves to moving out of their comfort zones on the field. They played opposing teams with respect and always played according to the rules and within the spirit of the game, ensuring that their school could be proud of them. By the end of the season they had become a strong functioning team. Thank you to parents who supported their sons’ involvement in the Camberwell Grammar School sport program and to Jeff our coach.
After only having one win, it was not a disappointing season for us. Since the first game, we as a team had significantly improved. We were able to work together on all sides of the pitch whilst having fun. Some highlights were our win against Ivanhoe which was 10-0 and for scoring and nearly defeating Marcellin 4-6, which would have been a terrific feat for any team. In that game, scores were even 4-4 in the last 10 minutes, but in orderly Marcellin fashion, they stole the win. Credit to Albert who came down from the A’s to help us move the ball up in offence and score many goals and our Will C, James K, Angus B, Cam D and Alex H for stopping goals. Cameron H and Aydan Y were fantastic in the midfield for passing and moving the ball forward and extra credit to Aydan for assisting nearly all the goals. Thanks to our coaches Roman and Marcos and to Mr Hall for being our team coordinator.
The season started very slowly with some heavy defeats and near misses. 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 Nick. Gradual improvement by all players was noted each week with improved communication demonstrated on the field. The turning point in the season came with a draw against Peninsula where the team had finally started to put it all together into a winning combination with Erik Simo-Orgonas in goal, Hao Ren in attack and Jordan Ng supporting across the pitch. A win against Trinity and then Yarra was icing on the cake. Overall their confidence built during the season with more communication and enjoyment of the game. What a fantastic way to end the season! On behalf of the team I would like to thank our coach Nick Dempsey who did an amazing job and to the parents who came and supported the team.

They played both Marcellin B teams at the start of the season and also played PEGS twice. The remaining matches were against Ivanhoe Plenty, Yarra Valley and Trinity Grammar School. It is unfortunate that as competitive outcomes, Camberwell were unable to finish any of the games in front and were occasionally overrun in the goal tally. However, the team grew in resilience and tactical skill as the season progressed and managed to keep the gameplay competitive in each of the matches, even though the score did not always reflect their level of commitment. Players such as David Li and Hugh Cran were exemplary in their high level of effort and determination and they continued to work for positive results during difficult matches.
In the last game of the season Camberwell played a competitive match against Trinity and were aggrieved a win. Timothy Lu shot a fine equaliser after the hosts scored early in the first half. Camberwell fought well to get back into the game, but Trinity hit the net twice before scoring a penalty to finish the game 3 - 1.

After several weeks of training and practice, they were graded and progressed on to the next belt level. Some senior members of the squad also participated in an inter-club Poomsae (Patterns) competition conducted by the Doncaster Branch of Melbourne Taekwondo Club. This was an outstanding conclusion to our first summer season. The squad greatly appreciates the support provided by Mr Barry Akehurst (6th Dan Black Belt) who oversaw the training, and they look forward to consolidating their achievements under his guidance next year as well as forming stronger partnerships with other schools’ Taekwondo squads.

The First VIII Tennis team had an excellent 2018/19 season. Despite winning only 2 games and having 5 losses (1 washout), with the team finishing 7th on the AGSV ladder, the performances of the boys were encouraging. All games were close with the largest loss being 6-10, demonstrating how close the team is to challenging for a finals berth. A resounding win over arch-rivals Trinity was a highlight of the season and broke a recent run of extremely close matches. Alex WilsonBrown was an outstanding captain, setting high standards in training and at the Wednesday morning gym sessions. Lachlan Wei, Lachlan O’Neill and Matthieu Gibert all debuted this season and made valuable contributions. Amazingly, Lachlan Wei recorded a 100% (7/7) record in singles and looks likely to move up the order next season. Ashwin Prabaharan won the MVP for his consistent results in both singles and doubles. Overall the boys conducted themselves admirably all season with a strong sense of commitment and camaraderie being established. Director of Tennis, Peter Owen is thanked for his tireless efforts in promoting tennis, not only for this team, but for all boys at Camberwell Grammar School.
The Second Tennis team enjoyed a highly successful season remaining undefeated apart from a washout in week one. The team was strong, bolstered by the best recruits from last season’s 10As team and a couple of unlucky, yet warmly welcomed, members of last season’s First squad. Ian Kaharudin and Edward Wu were an unstoppable doubles combination, meticulously outplaying their opponents. Harley Beechey consistently displayed centre court performances, displaying sound skill and sportsmanship. Tommy Clayton provided wildcard performances with sizzling serves and forehands blasting through the opposition. Season highlights include the team’s 7th round victory over Marcellin, which was called off within an hour of commencement due to inclement weather, however Camberwell secured victory having already won the 7 sets required to win. Furthermore, the road trip down to PEGS’ sportsground provided an optimal opportunity for plane spotting, where the boys would often find themselves getting distracted by planes passing by; yet, somewhat disappointingly, the venue was not as windy as the boys remember from Year 7, a running joke that has haunted the boys every time we have gone down there since. Thank you to Ms. Crockett for being the team manager and our coach Ed for training us throughout the season.
In the 2018/19 summer season, the Third Gold Tennis team had a successful run. The team resembled many loyal minions following their cult leader into battle against their foes. Many courageous efforts were made throughout the season and they paid off with many wins against rival opponents such as Trinity. Many long bus rides down to schools like PEGS and Ivanhoe Plenty resulted in victories. Not every battle could be won however even with the incredible efforts of players like Sebastian Csutoros, Lachlan Doig and Joe Grimley. All-in-all, we had a good season and our main goal was to have fun, albeit winning is a lot of fun.

Third Blue Tennis The season began on a soggy note, with the match being cancelled halfway through due to wet weather. Fortunately, the sun was shining for Round 2 which provided the team with the opportunity to test out the strength of their skills against PEGS. After securing a comfortable win, the team went on to claim victory over their opponents in the next few rounds. Unfortunately, Trinity Grammar School ended the team’s winning streak, beating us by just two games. Although additional losses followed, the season was quite successful overall for the Third Blue Tennis team.

The Third Mitre Tennis team enjoyed a highly successful season. There was a great depth of talent among the team members and some impressive displays were noted within each fixture. Pleasingly many team members began to play with increased
maturity, showing greater awareness as to the importance of placement and poise, rather than simply pace. The team were rewarded with their consistency and in every fixture, they were able to overcome their opposition. As the team comprised all Year 12 members, it was their final Summer Sport season and their efforts in this season and previous seasons are
applauded. The team were thrilled to also be named the recipients of the Arthurs Cup for Season 2018/2019. Mr Roger Devine Teacher in Charge
Fourth Blue Tennis If success was simply measured by matches won, the team would be judged as battlers, having won only two fixtures for the season. A better way to gauge the season would be by individual endeavour, sportsmanship on display during matches, and the camaraderie of the team. By these measures, the Fourth Blue Tennis team were absolute winners. Chris Caragounis should be congratulated for his willingness to play ‘numero uno’ and Nima Asgari should be acknowledged for his tenacious but fair attitude. George Fogarty was awarded the Coach’s Award for his general conduct benefiting the sport at training and during matches. Tory Crosgrove was named MVP for his consistently strong performances in singles and doubles throughout the season. Mr Rick Mason Teacher in Charge

The Fourth Gold Tennis team played a terrific season, always attending training and Saturday matches with a positive attitude. The team were ready to get involved and enjoy their time together knowing it would be the last season many of the boys would participate in a Summer Sport at Camberwell Grammar School. The team won twice, once against Trinity and the other against Mentone. Despite the weather conditions with temperatures above 30 degrees on the court in the final match of the season against Mentone, the support on the sidelines between team members highlighted the sportsmanship they shared as a team. A special mention goes to Michael Wu who won many of
his singles and doubles matches for the season alongside Todd Tao who was keen to check scores throughout and make every point count. At the conclusion of the season, awards went to Nicholas Browne and Tony Gu for their weekly efforts. All ten boys in the team should remember their final Summer Sport season with joy, as being a rewarding and competitive season. Ms Marita Kelly Teacher in Charge
Fourth Mitre Tennis This was a haphazard season played out in good spirits despite the interruptions from the weather which vacillated from rain and a washout to soaring temperatures. There were also a variety of playing surfaces that impressed and bewildered. Nevertheless, the Fourth team were willing to give anything a shot to achieve victory, something that seemed, for the most part, elusive. There was an impressive team
effort at home late in the season on a balmy Friday afternoon that saw Camberwell win, with the entire team pitching in to win against Ivanhoe. Throughout the season Aaron Craine impressed with his skills at marshalling the team in the absence of his teacher in charge, who had a summer flu. Anderson Sulewski and Oscar Curry also deserve a special mention for their commitment and sportsmanship. Well done Fourth Mitre and thank you. Mr Vincenzo Piscioneri Teacher in Charge
10A Tennis It is often said that nice guys finish last. Well, the 10A tennis boys proved that axiom wrong finishing on top of their division. But more pleasing than the overall result was the development of each of the boys over the course of the season. Each worked hard to improve their game right up until their final volley. Here, in no particular order is a brief overview of the team: Rilee Younger – ‘the Hulk’. Booming serve-volley game that verged on violence toward the hapless yellow furry thing. And like the Hulk, at times, Rilee’s biggest opponent was himself; Tom Georges – ‘the smiling assassin’. Tom greeted his opponents with a friendly handshake with his left hand while gripping his racquet like a murderer’s weapon in his right; Riley Smith – ‘the butler’. Riley played with regal authority: head held high, never flustered and served his opponents cold; Zach Lewis – ‘Peter Parker’. Unassuming and reserved off the court. But with racquet in hand, like Spiderman, he spun his opponents into a web of torment; Zander Stojnic – ‘the quiet achiever’. Went about his game with minimum fuss but maximum dedication. Probably the biggest

improver over the season; Nic Taranto – ‘the undertaker’. Not happy unless he was disposing of his opponents. And not afraid to get his hands dirty in the process; Cameron Lim – ‘the mad professor’. At times he played with genius. At other times he wasn’t sure where he was; Nic Wade – ‘Groot’. Despite carrying an injured limb for the second part of the season, like the Guardians of the Galaxy superhero, Nic showed selfless support of his fellow team-mates.

against his opponents. Another honourable mention goes to Tristan van Koert, as when he scored, he scored well. The team shone particularly brightly in doubles, where the matches were almost all very high scoring, thanks to some great play from Blair Zhang and Kieran Teoh, just to name a few. Overall the 10C Blue team had an up and down season, with a few more downs than ups. Max Taylor
10B Tennis
10C Gold Tennis
This season was one of cancellations and poor weather, which meant that it was sometimes hard for the boys to keep a sense of momentum. The first outing of the year against Ivanhoe gave the boys a number of easy victories but Jordan was made to work for a win, keeping him at the top of the team. A week later, PEGS fronted with only seven players but the boys continued to acquit themselves admirably with some sustained rallies and improved serves especially from James and Angus. There were further resounding wins against Assumption and Mentone with Kieran, Sam, Nick and Zac providing consistently solid performances. Rory and Jordan proved winning doubles partners at the top end of the team with Andrew and William providing reliable wins. Heny played his first game for the team after Christmas and proved a welcome addition. The boys had a convincing final game of the season against a considerably weaker Assumption team and ended the year as they began with good sportsmanship and skill.
The season started well for the students late in 2018. The team remained competitive and understood this was due to teamwork rather than individual efforts. Many of the Saturdays were either very cold or very hot and enthusiasm remained buoyant throughout these tough weather conditions. The boys went into the Christmas break with two wins out of the four weekends of competition.
Mr Jason Hall 10B Tennis Coach
10C Blue Tennis Over the course of the summer sport season the 10C Blue team experienced some disappointments, along with great successes. Some of our matches were fruitless attempts to scramble back up the ladder, but whatever the score was at the end, through rain and shine the 10C Blues always tried our best. Although we lost more matches than we won, our matches almost always came down to a few games difference at the end. The team all worked well together, but there were some particularly outstanding players. Andrew Ho being one of these players. Throughout most of his matches he consistently scored 3 and 4 games

The New Year started very well. Heny Pan was showing signs of being upgraded to a higher level as well as James Growse who wanted to better himself, while the consistency of Ethan To, Kenny Zhang and Weihan Zhou was able to steady the team during the weekly matches. James Pittard, Bill Fang and James Ambry became strong doubles competitors who always reliably maintained a competitive effort. The team had its leaders in Joshua Lam, Aaron Song, Oliver Hu and William Yang who quietly kept on winning and were elevated to the top positions in the team. William and Aaron stood out in many of the singles matches in 2019 as they had the ability to come back from almost being defeated and winning the match. This occurred on several weekends and the two boys were very modest about the effort they put forward. The two boys reflected the positive outlook all team members had about the weekend competitions. The fair play and level-headedness of the boys was outstanding in the later part of the season. I was so proud to be part of the journey with the boys and watch them improve from week to week. After winning only one of the four matches in the new year it was the experience and growth that mattered, not the result. Well done to William Yang for the Coach’s Award and Aaron Song for the MVP. Mr Dominic McLaughlin Teacher in charge
9A Tennis The 9A Tennis team had a very up and down season. For the first four weeks, we did not play a game as it was either washed out or a bye. When we started playing, the team put in their best effort every match. We won and lost a few games but some key players over the season where Andrew Lee and Alec McDougall who performed very well each week. Scott Zheng played some of his best tennis yet and was a star player. Michael Hare, who plays number 4 in the team, played with a broken thumb for most of the second part of the season and still managed to win most of his matches. Overall the 9A Tennis team had a great season; even though we didn’t win every game, we tried our best. Will Govenlock
9B Tennis The Year 9B tennis team had a good start to the season with a stellar win against Assumption. With 4 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, the boys were both challenged and able to show confidence in their abilities. There were numerous changes to the team throughout the season which made for some inconsistent results, however, all the boys showed enthusiasm and commitment to their training and games. Hayden Wong performed consistently, developing skills with quiet confidence earning a welldeserved MVP. Anthony Zographos who showed excellent sportsmanship and enthusiastic participation walked away with the Coach’s Award. Thank you to all the boys from the C team who stepped in and contributed to a successful season of tennis. Miss Rachel Wu Teacher in Charge
9C Blue Tennis The 9C Blue Tennis team had an interesting season with the team members changing regularly over the course of the competition. The 9B team were eager to recruit replacement players and many of our team’s consistent performers were given the opportunity to move up to that level.

In addition, our home tennis courts were undergoing resurfacing, which meant all

This year our team consisted of 10 players. Despite the fact that we had three wins and four losses (ignoring the two washouts!), our members improved significantly in not only their tennis ability, but also in their attitude and approach towards the game. Our team trained hard with our coaches on Monday mornings, starting at 7.00am. During autumn, towards the end of the season, we enjoyed our dawn trainings. On every Saturday of sport, no matter what the result was, everyone in the team would act in a sportsmanlike manner and support their teammates, making it a great team to be a part of. On behalf of the team, I’d like to thank our teacher in charge, Mr Victor, for cheering us on during our matches and organising the team. I’d also like to congratulate everyone on the team for their tremendous efforts and a great season!

The 9C Gold tennis team were unable to get onto the court until Round 3 with washouts and byes slowing their start to the season. The team lost three matches by under two sets which inspired them to get their first win against Assumption with a strong 17-2 win. Congratulations to Je-Rard Cheong on winning the Most Valuable Player award.

With this in mind, the number of wins and losses becomes less important and the team’s success can instead be measured by its resilience and its competitive commitment. Nevertheless, we still earned 2 team wins early in the competition against Assumption and Mentone Blue. On those days and throughout the competition, team members such as Evan Chiu and Charlie Fotheringham were fine examples of the combined team spirit which contested every point and valued every match experience.

8A Tennis The 8A Tennis team, although losing three top-end players before the season started, managed to still have a successful season winning 5 of their 7 matches. The toughest test came early against Marcellin where the team unfortunately lost 11-1 on a hot day away from home. The improvement throughout the season was shown when the boys took on the same Marcellin outfit in the final round of the season where the result came down to the final match of the day. After losing our #1 player to injury before the match, the boys managed to win by 1 game and take out second position on the ladder. Individual brilliant performances came from our MVP winner in Cooper Lewis whose continual improvement resulted in winning 5 singles for the season. Both Sam Keenan and Darcy Albert were also consistent all season competing as the top 2 players. Congratulations to all boys involved on a fantastic season.

The 8C Tennis team had a mixed season winning 2 of the 8 matches. Although the number of games we won were low, a gradual improvement throughout the season was evident.

7A Tennis The 7A tennis team had a wonderful first season in the Camberwell colours with many boys getting the opportunity to compete for the school for the first time. The start of the season did not go to plan with the wet conditions forcing a washout. Although the season was delayed again in Round 2 with a bye, the team eventually kicked off their season in Round 3 against PEGS. The opposition was too strong in the end winning 8 matches to 4 with the twin combination of Orlando and Kadell Kuti performing well in their singles match. Round 4 was against Ivanhoe who were playing after a convincing win in the previous round. After a close encounter all day with many matches going down to the wire, the team managed to prevail The Camberwell Grammarian 2019 | 237

Participating in the 2XU Triathlon Series for the second year, the squad faced highquality opposition in both AGSV and APS schools, as well as individual athletes. However wonderful achievements from all squad members resulted in a final placing of fifth out of 16 schools, three points behind St Bede’s College.
The older boys had good representation in the ‘sprint’ distance events with Charlie Harper, Alex Lew, Charlie Chun, Ryan Fitzgerald and myself all competing in the age group categories, and Jack Amling represented the school in the Draft Legal Junior Elite category as well as participating in numerous out-of-school races.

First VI Volleyball The First VI Volleyball team had a shaky start to the season, unable to pick up a win from the first two matches. The team had high hopes to turn their season around and picked up a 3 set victory against Marcellin. Returning from the break, the team was in high spirits and passionate as they earned a hard-fought victory against Trinity coming from two sets down. The squad lost their legs in the final two matches, losing difficult matches to first and second-placed teams on the table. Although the team finished in 5th place, Camberwell Volleyball has seen improvement through youth development and technical skills for Year 9 and 10 students.

Second Blue, Gold and Mitre Volleyball The Second Volleyball team started training in October with little skill and a lack of endeavour. It was hard to win a set or a game and the coaches had difficulty connecting with the boys. Then in 2019 it all changed. Two enthusiastic Old Boys, Sean Kennedy and Alex Kroyakis stepped in and training became fun and new skills were learnt. The matches on Saturday at Monash became competitive. Gold won their first game and then Blue. Mitre still needed help, so very kindly some First Volleyball players turned up at their next game and cheered them on to victory over Mentone, a good finish to the season.

most improved player, grew noticeably in confidence in moving on-court and passing accurately. On the Gold side, Nicolaas Bray continued to provide sound sets and passes, Hugo Akse led the team in spiking and blocking at the net, whilst Tom Sun provided valuable on-court leadership and encouragement. Alexander Zervas’ powerful serve won more than a few points, whilst Michael Tsolakis, Christian Rogan and Timothy Phan provided great defensive court coverage, assisted by Colin Jiang and Callum Graham.

Congratulations go to Freddie Askew, Cooper Carbone and Lucas Chang for their nominations for end of season awards in recognition of their combined leadership of the team and their sustained skills development over the past two years. Wlist the challenge remains for the team to hit a winning streak, the emergence of a crop of strong players who have attracted the attention of the Firsts coach suggests that 7/8 Volleyball is working well as a nursery for future talent.

Marcelle Drummond Since joining the Camberwell Grammar Music Department as a violin teacher in 1993, Marcelle Drummond has been an integral part of school life for so many boys. Marcelle’s meticulous yet always kind and fun nature has earned her the respect of generations of students since those early days, and audiences have delighted in her leadership of the Junior School Orchestra for many years. Marcelle has tutored the Second Violin section in the Middle and Senior Orchestras and has had a key role in both orchestras’ development over her time at CGS. In recent years, Marcelle has also taught music theory classes and achieved the school’s highest-ever results in this area in her final year of 2018. As well as a beloved teacher, Marcelle’s presence in the Music School as a close friend and colleague has been missed this year as she now chooses to focus on time with family and enjoy a well-deserved retirement with her husband Mark.

Catherine Casey In April 2005 Catherine Casey came to Camberwell Grammar School and took up the position of Head of Library. She came to us from St Peters College where she had been Head of Resource Centre for some four years. For those of us who work in the library Catherine’s arrival was like a breath of fresh air. She has made considerable changes in the Weickhardt Library since joining the school with perhaps the most significant being the implementation of internet-based Oliver Library software. Catherine has worked hard towards making the Weickhardt Library more physically appealing to both students and staff. Upstairs the changes have included the layout of the Rose Reading Room where the large permanent circulation desk was removed and a module on 262 | The Camberwell Grammarian 2019
wheels replaced it. All the old fixed shelving both upstairs and downstairs has been replaced with bays on wheels and attractive signage installed. Couches and ottomans have been purchased for the library and an overall air of welcome now exists thanks to Catherine. She has also overseen major changes to the book collection itself. Fiction books are now in genres and non-fiction books are in collections. Catherine has a great love and a great knowledge of both art and anything French and our book collection has benefited from this. As someone who worked closely with Catherine, I’d like to thank her on behalf of all the library staff for simply being a great Head of Department in every way. We wish her all the very best for her retirement. Heather Falconer
Ariela Nucci At the end of Term 1, Ariela Nucci, the Junior School Art accepted a teaching position at Lalor Secondary College. Ariela has been a member of Norge since 2014. Since then, she has embodied creativity and passion in her daily teaching practice, curriculum planning and relationships with each boy in the Junior School. Ariela was an outstanding teacher who displayed a deep understanding of the Australian Curriculum. She always modelled and encouraged boys to create sophisticated bodies of art inspired by famous artists or artistic styles. Ariela esteemed herself on having strong, caring and respectful relationships with the boys in her care, ensuring she knew each boy’s story and using that to ignite their creative flare in Art lessons. Ariela’s passion for the Arts and teaching was not only visible in the classroom, but also her involvement in costuming and choreography for musical productions, assisting on school excursions and overnight camps, leading self-portrait artworks for Year 5 Graduations as well as installing artistic murals and displays on Open Day. Ariela was always able to capture the ‘right’ moment for each boy behind the camera at different Norge events. She mentored and supported colleagues with her
expertise in curriculum and worked with colleagues in the Middle and Senior School Art Department to improve her classroom practice. Ariela’s vibrant and dynamic personality, as well as her passion for teaching and learning, was adored by her colleagues and the wider parent community. She immersed herself in all aspects of life in Junior School. We wish her all the best in her career. Mat McRae
Anna Emmett Anna joined the staff at Camberwell Grammar in 2008. She is a dedicated teacher who has nurtured a love of Literature in the boys and further developed their research skills. Her warm and calm manner has been appreciated by the boys and staff as has her sense of fun and good humour. Our wonderful Library is a testament to her creativity and vision to create a space where boys can relax, learn and play. She always embraced change and actively looked for ways to enhance the program and learning space. Anna made many connections with the boys and stimulated keen readers and supported and engaged reluctant readers. The Maker Space lunchtime initiative was so well received by the boys. The boys have thoroughly enjoyed creating, making and exploring, with activities ranging from kinetic sand to crocheting. Organisation is one of Anna’s strengths as demonstrated through organising whole school activities such as Jump Rope for Heart and Book Week. Anna organised authors to visit and inspire the boys, including visits from authors who are Old Boys. Her costumes were always amazing and Book Week has always been a favourite event in the Junior School Calendar. Anna had strong knowledge of the Australian Curriculum and made sure that all the staff were well resourced to support the learning in the classrooms. She organised teams of parents to help with book covering which enabled parents to chat over coffee and cake. Her delicious homemade treats were always something to look forward to.

For over 20 years, Camberwell Grammar has been part of John’s professional life, a time when the Computer Department and greater school community can say we were fortunate to come across a person of such integrity and humility. The fact that he had an unhealthy enthusiasm for all things Mac are overshadowed by such traits. John has decided to pursue a more flexible role allowing him to spend more time with the family business. We wish him much success in his next adventure. Paul Brincat
Margaret Watt Earlier this year we farewelled Margaret Watt, who retired at the end of Term 1 after more than 25 years of dedicated service. Margaret joined Camberwell Grammar as a Library Technician in 1994, working initially in the old Weickhardt Library in the former Angliss Building, then moving to the new Library in the H R McDonald Building when it opened in 2004. A dedicated and highly competent Librarian, Margaret was a very skilled cataloguer, to whom we all turned to when in doubt of the finer points of the Dewey Decimal System or the Anglo American cataloguing rules.

Peter O’Connell Peter O’Connell joined the staff of Camberwell Grammar School in 1983 to teach Economics, Consumer Education and Social Science. He resigned at the end of 1986 to spend a year travelling overseas. While he was away he was an enthusiastic correspondent, sending Mr Dyer letters from Nepal, Bahrain, Stuttgart, Ireland and London: the letters were a good investment in the future, for by July of 1987, Peter had been offered a new position at the school from the beginning of 1988, and the rest as they say, is history. In his time at our school, Peter has had many roles – teaching Senior Economics, organising Open Day, coordinating Friday Activities, introducing Australian Studies, serving as Housemaster of Macneil (1990-1996) and Registrar (1997-2019). In the latter role, he has performed the important role of keeping our school full, and it is fitting that in his final year he leaves us with a record enrolment. Peter has also been a wise voice on the Staff Executive and has been a valued contributor to the strategic vision of the school. He has been a wonderful teacher, colleague and friend. We wish him all the very best for his retirement. Paul Hicks
Glen Foster Glen Foster attended Camberwell Grammar School in the 1960s. He had a rewarding and prolific sporting profile in cricket, football and cross country. He was a School Prefect, House Captain and performed with Andrew Macfarlane and Greg Ham in the 1969 School play, The World We Live In. In the 1970s, Glen attended Oxford University, completed a Master’s degree and taught in England.
Glen established the Rotary Interact Club, co-ordinated Collingwood English School visits and raised money and awareness for a range of charities through interactive events such Flag Day, Option for Orphans Night and the much loved Shuv the Guv. Through this, he championed student engagement and empathy, creating opportunities for students in their local community.

Heather Falconer Heather started at Camberwell Grammar in August 1988 in a one year appointment by Headmaster Colin Black. She retired at the end of Term 3 2019 with 31 years of continued service! Heather worked under 3 Teacher Librarians and has seen significant changes in the libraries of the school in that time. Heather’s creative flair has been a major strength in the
program for many years and coached the First XVIII from 1990 to 1997, and then again from 2003 to 2007. When he stepped down from the senior coaching role he stayed connected to the football program as Teacher-in-Charge and team manager of the Firsts. Ken’s first year as a senior coach back in 1990 saw the team finish the year as runners up after losing narrowly to Assumption in the final round. More recently, Ken’s love of football brought him back to coaching with the Camberwell Old Boys, and he was instrumental in building our first girls’ team in the amateur competition.

John Kennedy Passed Monday 22 July 2019 After many months of battling a series of gravely debilitating illnesses, John Kennedy died on Monday, July 22nd. It was a quiet, dignified end, befitting a quiet dignified man, who had made his

peace with the world and farewelled those closest to him. After hearing of John’s death, Colin Black, Headmaster from 1987 – 2004, wrote the following tribute. “A patient and effective teacher of Mathematics, Physics and Science, he will be remembered with affection, respect and admiration by his colleagues as a most resourceful, diligent and diplomatic Director of Studies, having succeeded ‘Doc’ Wight in 1974, and it was in this role that I knew him during my time as Headmaster from 1987 - 2004, when we retired together. It was John’s responsibility to assemble the school timetable and the classroom allocations, to assign boys to their classes, and arrange the teaching programs in the Middle and Senior Schools. With quiet perseverance and good grace he managed to juggle parents’, boys’ and teachers’ preferences, and while never
able to please everyone every year, all knew that he tried assiduously to do so. In my early years a number of curriculum changes were introduced, associated with the then new Victorian Certificate of Education and an expanded list of electives for Years 9 and 10. In embracing these positively, John demonstrated his remarkable capacity for finding creative solutions. He spent the long summer vacation building a timetable which reflected each year the changing nature of the school curriculum, and invariably the new session began smoothly with an absolute minimum of disruptive tinkering. There were often hiccups along the way but John took these in his unflappable stride. I recall telephoning him at his home one Christmas Eve to tell him that a newly appointed teacher of Senior Mathematics had withdrawn his letter of acceptance and it was unlikely an alternative could be found at short notice, but somehow he was able to rearrange the pieces on the

be mocked or bullied. Such protective strategies are a hallmark of adolescence, yet what distinguished Mark’s integrity as a person was his openness and his emotional honesty – there was no persona, he was simply himself.
More than anything else, I am sure, was the fact that Mark was such a loving man, to all with whom he connected, be they student or adult. Indeed, the manner of association made no distinction: irrespective of age and situation, Mark treated everyone with equal courtesy and interest.
A fellow runner, Mark and I spent many an hour trekking the trails together and talking about all manner of things. As a coach of the Cross-Country squad at CGS, Mark most often gave his attention not to the more talented athletes but was patient enough to trot along at the back and quietly chat to and encourage that fellow lagging behind the squad – and always returning with that warm smile on his face.
Mark’s engagement with others, especially students, was always characterized by Suzan energetically involved herself in the his easy manner, soft voice, that wry life of the school, coordinating the debating smile, and that fact that his eyes never program and overseeing the annual moot shifted from the person with whom he court competition at Bond University.

The award of an OAM in the Australia encounter during many years teaching at Day Honours reminded us of something of Camberwell Grammar School? the life that Mark led outside of school. John’s professional demeanour and quiet efficiency enabled him to deal patiently with day-to-day staff absences and the disruptions to the rhythm of work which the growing programme of VCE field days and excursions mandated. His was also the responsibility for the school’s examination arrangements, both internal and public, and I cannot recall a year when everything did not run smoothly, just as his co-ordination of the semester reports to parents was invariably flawless.

how to live but also, given our inevitable demise, how to die. In recent times he often said to me, ‘It won’t be a long life, but it will be a good one!’. Over the last few weeks he told me how he loved catching the train to East Camberwell, walking along the Outer Cycle path and savouring that encounter with the natural world and then enjoying the hubbub of school life, when he was really too frail to do anything more than quietly chat with one or two individuals. As a teacher, Mark’s professional expertise was beyond question; however, that was not the principal reason he has been held in such affection. Theodore Roosevelt once said that, ‘People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.’ A friendship with this caring man is one that I shall treasure; so many of us have been enriched by his fellowship.

Wendy Margot Hurse 1941 – 21 July 2019 An extract of the eulogy of Wendy Hurse, one of the first full-time female members of the CGS teaching faculty. In 1941, a miracle occurred. A tiny bundle of cells split into two and became identical twins Wendy and Judith. In 1942, Wendy was born first by ten minutes, then Judy, to Verne and George Hurse of Ross Street, Surrey Hills, two little sisters for Patricia. Wendy went to Chatham Primary, then Presbyterian Ladies’ College, where the inseparable twins had to protest that they did not copy each other’s work, but they just thought the same, as indeed they did. The twins shared an extraordinary life-long bond of closeness that has been a wonder to us all. How lucky we three children were to benefit from this loving relationship: Wendy was like a second mother to us. Wendy completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne, where she was remembered even decades later

as an outstanding student, especially of Wendy was fond of all the good things in languages. She followed this with diplomas life. She was, as only the French can say in education and counselling. (and Wendy loved anything French), une bonne vivante, with an irrepressible joie de In her early 20s Wendy went out with vivre. She loved nature, especially flowers, Trevor Poustie. Things didn’t work out travel and holidays to places such as Perth for them as a couple then, but they were (where she loved to spend time with the clearly meant to be together. After a long Kailis family), Noosa and London, beautiful friendship, they reunited and shared music, including the choral music sung a brief time together in their 70s that by St Francis’ Choir, of which she was a brought them both great joy. Wendy kept member for many years and delicious food a photograph of Trevor at her bedside; (despite having lost her sense of taste and they looked so happy in it, hardly able to smell in the second of two brain surgeries), believe their luck that life brought them especially Judy’s delicious family meals at together after all. We were thrilled to share home… and a weak cappuccino anywhere their happiness. at all! Many of us have shared special meals and moments with Wendy over the Wendy was an excellent teacher.

Over the next into Wendy’s art. A recent exhibition of her sixteen years Wendy had a positive and china painting stunned visitors. She was an profound impact on her students and extremely gifted porcelain artist, winning fellow teachers. On hearing of Wendy’s numerous accolades over the years at the passing an Old Boy recalled Wendy being Royal Melbourne Show. Those of us who “a wonderful teacher - very patient, calm have her works will treasure them now and clear”, while a fellow teacher warmly more than ever, for their enduring sense reflected on Wendy being “a beautiful lady of the beauty she perceived both in the who was loved and adored by her former world and in her imagination. Her magical colleagues and students, and a person colouring book allowed her to continue to who forged a path at CGS that many share her talents with others, when china women followed”. painting was no longer an option. Wendy was devoted to her mother, Verne, who was completely deaf. In her compassion for and dedication to her mother, we saw the essence of the person we all knew and loved, with a heart large enough to absorb and soothe all the hurts of the world, for anyone she encountered. She was a wonderful listener and a philosophical and practical, positive and empathetic friend, always interested in others. A quick walk to the shops could take hours, depending on who Wendy ran into. She was a source of great fun and joyfulness, always ready with a smile and a hilarious anecdote, ready to laugh at the silly things that life throws at all of us. Wendy adored all the creatures of the world, but most especially children and cats (not sure of the order there). She was the champion of the underdog, and the stray cat, and cared passionately for her own cats. If only we could all come back to earth as one of Auntie’s cats! We owe our love of animals at least in part to Wendy.
Her intuitive colour and style carried through into her personal presentation; she wore coordinated layers and pretty scarves and jewellery and had a magpie’s eye for a sparkle. I’m sure we all have a happy picture of Wendy in our hearts, smiling and greeting us with love, so cheerful and bright in her gorgeous clothes and the expressive, colourful fabrics she loved. Lovely, intelligent, perceptive, witty, kind, friendly, warm, gentle, funny, faithful, generous, tender, uplifting: Wendy was the dearest soul. Despite many personal challenges, especially related to her health, she was never bitter, and faced the future with courage and dignity. We will remember her with much love, as a wonderful, darling person and teacher of so many of life’s lessons, and as an example of a life well-lived. Wendy always said she felt there was a greater power watching over her. She is now with the angels in paradise. Vale Wendy Margot Hurse.

Cadet Auxiliary We have welcomed many new faces to the Cadet Auxiliary this year and we thank all of those parents who have joined our group for what is a very rewarding experience. We are all about supporting the boys in the CGS Army Cadet Unit and having fun in the process. This year we have served breakfast at the moving Anzac Day Dawn Service, supported the boys with sausage snacks at the Careers Information night, raised funds via our cookie dough sales and perhaps most enjoyably for parents and boys alike, continued to operate our everpopular lunchtime BBQs for the boys to enjoy a sausage and drink at lunchtime on a Friday. The funds raised have enabled us to make the boys a little more comfortable on their camping expeditions to Puckapunyal, with funds this year being used to purchase additional sleeping mats and spare sleeping bags to ensure the boys stay warm and dry even when it rains! Special thank you to Fionna Cooper, our long-serving Treasurer, and Janet MacLeish, Mr Michael Neal and Mr Michael Daniel. Ms Josie Reynolds Convenor

“Our mantra at Friends of Football is to provide a resource for the school to support the football program.” Friends of Football Another busy and fun year was had at Friends of Football in 2019. We had two great events during the year (Seasson Launch and Presentation Night) and were able to provide a strong level of support to the school’s football program utilising the strong cash reserves we have and the great support the boys receive each week from the sidelines. Our mantra at Friends of Football is to provide a resource for the school to support the football program. We do this by raising money 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 and enables us to provide financial support to the football program.
This year we provided training jumpers to the First XVIII squad, we funded the video recording of games at least twice for each team and provided several meals for the First XVIII squad after training. Our premier function for the year is the end of year event which is the Presentation Night. This was extremely well attended with over 200 people at Gordon Barnard Reserve function rooms. Our special guest for the evening was Ben Dixon who gave us a great insight into his career as an AFL footballer and now commentator.
Friends of Hockey 2019 has been a growth year for Friends of Hockey. Several new committee members drawn from Middle and Junior School gives us extra capacity and new ideas and opportunities to enhance the hockey journey of boys at CGS. From our starter kits for new players, all years season opening 6-a-side tournament, through to the First XI and all years presentation nights it has been a full year.

We also assisted with the wrapping of academic and sports prizes.

The 2018 book exchange saw some changes with the introduction of an online system to sell books. This resulted in a much smoother processing of books. As always the success of the book exchange was due to the efforts of many people who worked tirelessly under what was a new system of doing things. A special thanks to Nina Lewis who gave up much of her valuable time to ensure that all the booklists were accurate and that the technology used for the book exchange worked effectively. We thank all those people who volunteered their time to assist with the receiving, processing and selling of books. Mrs Vivienne Katsoulotos Convenor
Friends of Norge The Friends of Norge is made up of a group of dedicated parents that help organise year level social functions and Junior School major events. Both the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfasts were held in the Camberwell Room. Over 150 parents shared the special mornings with their boys. In Term 2, we organised a Footy Day BBQ lunch for the boys before they got to do football drills with the school’s First XVIII Football Team. The Open Day saw the Junior School alive with families holding fairy floss, ice cones, honey joys, popcorn, smoothies, lolly bags, watermelon pops and sausages. All the parents thoroughly enjoyed operating the different food stalls. We also had many free kid activities, like the jumping castle, a petting farm and face painting. A fun day was had by all and we couldn’t have done it without the tremendous school spirit. Friends of Norge thanks all our committee members, class representatives and parent volunteers who have ensured another successful year for our boys and the Junior school community. Mrs Janet Cheung Convenor
Friends of Performing Arts The primary purpose of Friends of Performing Arts (FoPA) is to promote and foster music and drama in the CGS community.

Friends of Soccer As 2019 comes to a close, Friends of Soccer would like to take this opportunity to recognise the significant achievements and efforts our boys have had this season. None of this success would be possible without the involvement of our coaches, committee volunteers and the enthusiasm the boys have shown throughout the season. Our Season Launch and FOS Presentation Evening were both memorable events. Tom Kalas did a wonderful job in welcoming CEO of Melbourne Victory Trent Jacobs and introducing our Guest Speaker, Lee Broxham, from Melbourne Victory. This year we also say goodbye to two committee members that have worked tirelessly over the years to raise the profile of soccer at our school. Thank you to Georgina Verros our outgoing Treasurer and Mary Sawyer our Secretary who have both played an instrumental role on the Committee. In closing, l would like to acknowledge the work of our Committee Paul Lee, Justin McDonld, Luke Easton, Dean Sapolu

Friends of Tennis We had another good year of tennis this year with several teams doing well in the AGSV. The Third Mitre team won the Arthur’s Cup with the most wins for the season. At Presentation Night we celebrated the year with a BBQ and round-robin competition. Mr Ian Mason, a retired CGS teacher in charge of Tennis, spoke to the students and presented the trophies.
In June, the Parents Association Social Committee successfully held our annual Social Function. This year, we ventured off the school grounds and held ‘The CGS Winter Ball’ at Fenix Function Centre. Those attending enjoyed good food and wine, while dancing to fabulous live music by Ben Bishop’s band, ‘The League of Gentlemen’. Thank you to the Social Committee for all their time and energy creating a fabulous evening which I am sure will become a regular feature of the PA social calendar. Our showcase Open Day event was once again held under sunny skies. Our new Arts Hub Precinct was a hive of activity and successfully linked all areas of the school. Most of the ‘friends of groups’ were represented, either with a food stall or an activity, which helped to create a wonderful carnival atmosphere throughout the school.
The Dutch pancakes proved to be popular once again at Open Day in addition to the generously donated silent auction items. We will be purchasing new scoreboards for the Deepdene tennis courts with the generated funds.

Year Representatives The Middle School and Senior School Year Representatives have had another busy year. We have run a wide variety of events over different times of the week to engage as many parents as possible. The Year Representatives have been very creative this year – besides the usual coffee mornings, Mother’s Day lunches and parents’ evenings, they have organised parent son events such as slot car racing, paintball and ten pin bowling. Thank you for all your hard work. Many thanks also to the parents who come along to support the functions – it is always a lot of fun and interesting to share stories. Dr Huey Miin Tan Coordinator
Every year, approximately 350 volunteers hours are required for the shop openings. Another 100 volunteer hours are required to process stock into the shop and manage the administration!
