From the Headmaster Welcome Back Welcome back to the 2019 school year! A special welcome to all of you who are new to Camberwell Grammar School, and I hope that you will all feel a part of our learning community very soon. I would like to thank all staff involved in the vacation activities, our students are very fortunate that our teachers are prepared to give their vacation time to provide such rich and rewarding experiences. Our year began well on Tuesday with two intensive but very productive Professional Development Days for all staff, and with students returning to School yesterday. It has already been a busy first week! Last night we hosted an Information Evening and a Welcome Back Drinks function for Junior School parents, and tonight we have Welcome Back Drinks for Middle School parents in the Camberwell Room in the Sports Centre at 6.30pm. Our Senior School Welcome Back Evening will also be held at the same venue on Friday 8 February at 6.30pm. These functions are an excellent way to meet other parents and to discover important information about the year ahead. I am very grateful the members of our Parents’ Association who organise and host our welcome back functions each year. We value greatly the support we receive from our parent support groups and I thank them for the warm welcome they extend to all families at the beginning of each year.
Welcome to Indra I am very pleased to welcome a new member to our community, a beautiful golden Labrador called Indra. Indra is an Ambassador dog for the Guide Dogs Association of Victoria. She will live with Mr Dayan Ramalingam and his family, however she will visit our School daily. Her ‘base’ will be in Reception and our Health Centre, and students will be able to visit her and take her for walks at recess and lunchtimes. It will be great to have her around and I am sure the students will enjoy having this additional ‘staff member’ as part of our family.
Information Evenings As outlined in my recent email to the whole school community, may I remind you of the upcoming dates for our information evenings: Year 12 Information Night and Parent Education Evening On Monday 4 February in the Performing Arts Centre commencing at 7.00pm, there will be a Year 12 Information Evening followed by a presentation at 8.00pm by our guest speaker, Adolescent Psychologist, Mr Andrew Fuller. Year 11 Student and Parents Information Evening On Wednesday 6 February in the Performing Arts Centre commencing at 7.00pm. The purpose of the evening is to provide an explanation of the structure, procedures and rules of the VCE, and to suggest some strategies which the School, from its previous experience, believes will help to make this year successful in every sense. Head of House and House Tutor Evening On Wednesday 6 February at 7.00pm, there will be an opportunity for Year 9 parents and parents of new boys to the Senior School (Years 10-12) to meet their son’s Head of House and Tutor. Although it is a busy time of year, I encourage as many parents as possible to attend these Information Evenings as they will provide parents with information about the year, including school expectations and arrangements.
Grammarian The Grammarian was distributed after Assembly yesterday, and students should have brought home one copy per family. All 2018 Year 12 students will be posted a copy of The Grammarian. If your family did not receive a copy, please pick one up from the Development Office.
