From the Headmaster Welcome Back to Term 4 A very warm welcome back to all members of our learning community to Term 4. I hope that all families were able to spend some time together at home or away, and that our students were able to take the time to rest and to gather their strength for the big term which is ahead of us. I know that our Year 12 students will have been working hard to consolidate their studies in this final run-up to the end of year examinations. I am very grateful to the Year 12 teachers who made themselves available during this time to offer classes for their students, to meet with them individually and to mark work. I am also grateful to our Year 12 VCE Co-ordinator, Mr Marcus Jones and his VCE staff who arranged and supervised a full set of practice examinations in the last week of the break. These will enable our students to focus their final revision and to discover any gaps in their knowledge. I encourage them to make the most of every minute of the short time that is left to them. We wish them all the very best for their coming examintions.
Open Day The weather promises to be perfect again when we will be hosting our Annual Open Day tomorrow, commencing at 10:00am. Our Parents’ Associations have done a wonderful job once more in organising a range of activities and stalls for the day and I greatly appreciate the time and support they continue to give to our school. I appreciate our students who will act as ambassadors and guides for our visitors – they are our best advertisements. We will again be highlighting a range of academic and co-curricular offerings at Camberwell Grammar School and the usual concerts, and activities will occur. The day will conclude with our Cadet Passing Out Parade on the JTO, commencing at 1.00pm. A program for the day can be viewed here. Please make the time to visit us tomorrow with your sons and encourage them to act as your guide around their School. You are very welcome to come to see our new facilities, and visit our beautiful All Souls Chapel at the very centre of our school. There will be parking for parents and visitors on site on Saturday only through Gates 1 and 5. Please be conscious of our neighbour’s rights and amenity if parking in the local area, and I ask in particular that cars are not parked on grass nature strips or across the driveways of surrounding streets.
Mobile Muster at Open Day Towards2050 invites the School Community to pop over to W221 during the Open Day festivities. Amongst many things we will have a large Mobile Muster box set up. You can bring in your old phones, rechargers, headphones and phone batteries, and in one quick visit be rid of all that toxic waste. For more information on the Mobile Muster program click here. There is always a box set up in the Senior School Library, so you can bring your old phones in to be responsibly recycled at any time.
