From the Headmaster Open Day Thank you to all parents, students, and staff who assisted with another very successful Open Day last Saturday. The weather was perfect, and we were able to offer to our visitors a very enjoyable afternoon. Days such as this are opportunities for us to open our doors to the wider community and to put ourselves ‘on display’. As always, our students are our best ambassadors and I was very proud of the way in which they acted as gracious hosts and guides for our visitors. Our new ‘Arts Hub’ in the Kingussie Quadrangle proved a great success and acted as a ‘bridge’ between the Junior and Senior Schools. I am especially grateful to Mrs Cathy Garrard, President of the Parents’ Association and to all of the Committees and various support groups who have been preparing for this day for so long, and who so warmly welcomed our visitors on the day, as well as continuing to support our students. There was a real sense of community spirit around the School, and many of our visitors commented on this to me. I would also like to thank all of our teaching staff who put together the academic displays and activities, and especially Mr Tim Cross who again co-ordinated a wonderful program of activities for the day.
Cadet Presentation Parade I would also like to congratulate our Cadet Unit on their fine parade which concluded Open Day. The Annual Cadet Parade is an opportunity for the unit to demonstrate their pride and hard work to the wider School community and the general public. This year’s parade was reviewed by Major General Justin Ellwood DSC, AM and led by Year 12 Senior Cadet Under Officer Cameron Martin. This year’s Cadet Award recipients are as follows: • Recruit of the Year - CDT Eugene Goh (Year 9) • Senior Cadet of the Year - CDT James Sampson (Year 12) • Junior NCO of the Year - CDTCPL Jack Hu (Year 10) • Senior NCO of the Year - CDTSGT Angus Corr (Year 11) • Most Efficient Platoon - 1 Platoon: SGT Declan Woolf, CPL Li (Year 12)
Farewell to Year 12 Students Our Year 12 students took the opportunity to dress up today – literally – as they celebrate their final days of schooling. Next week will see the conclusion of their formal teaching classes for our Year 12 students. There will be a series of formal farewells during the week, including the Prize Giving Assembly on Tuesday, with prizes to be presented by our special guest, Mr Rich Gilmore, who is the CEO at The Nature Conservancy Australia. On Wednesday we will farewell our Year 12 students, commencing with a breakfast in the Cafeteria, followed by formal House farewells, cuff-link presentations by the OCGA followed by brunch. The day will finish with a Leavers’ Service at St Mark’s Church commencing at 6.00pm, and a Valedictory Dinner at the MCG, with parents and teachers. While these days in some ways mark the end of a significant time in the lives of these students, I have reminded them that their year is not yet over, and in fact, they face some important examinations in the coming weeks! I encourage them to keep their focus on their studies until their last examination is over. We now wish these students all the very best as they prepare for their examinations, which begin for most students next Wednesday 30 October, with English and EAL. I would like to thank our Year 12 students for all that they have contributed to our School community in the time they have been with us. The full resources of the School are available to them during their study leave, and I wish them all the very best for their examinations. Our Year 11 students now take on the mantle of leaders of the School, and I look forward to the contribution that they will make over the next twelve months.

House Play Competition A most entertaining evening of theatre occurred last evening when the finals of the Senior School House Play competition took place. We congratulate Robinson House on winning the House Play this year. The House plays were of a very high standard, and are completely the responsibility of the students, who direct and act in them as well as providing backstage support. All plays this year were an adaptation of a Shakespearian work. Thank you to last night’s Adjudicator, Mr Robert Johnson, the Artistic Director of Burning House Theatre Company. He has worked as a Director, Dramaturg and Assistant Director with many of Australia’s leading theatre companies including Melbourne Theatre Company, Opera Australia, Belvoir St Theatre, and Bell Shakespeare Company.

Australian Scout Medallion
What a wonderful celebration we all enjoyed last Saturday! The superb Spring weather provided the perfect backdrop to showcase our immaculate grounds. As I reminded the boys at Assembly, it was certainly a day that made us all stop and consider how lucky we are. Special thanks go to the tireless grounds and maintenance staff, as well as to the boys who represented our School in such a positive manner. Many thanks to the many volunteers and CGS families who participating in activities; all helping to exhibit our community atmosphere. A special mention to Mr Robinson who went from cricket umpire to debating ‘coach’ in the space of a few overs. He was rewarded for his efforts with a Debating Grand Final Victory to his 8R Chargers (Oliver To, Joshua Hui and Cooper Carbone). Their opposition on the day were from 8B (Ravin Desai, Alan Tian and James Reichmann). There were many other highlights including the music performances, sport activities, chess and Rubik’s Cube. Ms Massey’s Towards2050 Sustainability Group was a particular highlight through their relentless efforts to positively influence our community with the ethos of sustainability.

What a fantastic, fun-filled, family day Open Day proved to be! We were blessed with glorious weather, with the sun shining and spring blossoms on full display and the School was alive with activity, adventure and information. This School is what it is because of the people who contribute so wholeheartedly and participate so fully in the life of the School. I am in awe of the marvellous work done by parents, staff and boys in putting together such an enjoyable and comprehensive CGS experience. From the stalls to the classrooms, information booths and activities, grounds and performances, the School community was bubbling with enthusiasm and pride. The boys’ performances were delightful. Thank you one and all for making Open Day such a marvellous community event.

Junior School House Athletics Carnival The Junior School House Athletics Carnival, involving Year 3, 4 and 5 will be held at the Doncaster Athletics Track on Tuesday 22 October, commencing at 9.30am (the bus leaves School at 8.45am). All parents are invited and encouraged to attend. Boys will be transported back to School if parents are later than 2.30pm. Boys are required to wear their sports uniform to School with the compulsory House polo shirt, they are also required to wear the School sunhat and apply sunscreen. Boys must bring their lunch in a disposable bag and also ensure that they have a drink.
Music at Open Day Congratulations to all Junior School students who performed so capably in their choirs and ensembles on Open Day. Their open air items on the Junior School Green certainly enhanced the bright and busy atmosphere around the School and displayed our varied music program to our many visitors.
Walk to School Day and Health Morning A reminder that Camberwell Grammar Junior School Walk to School Day is next week on Friday 25 October. Walk to School encourages kids to walk, ride or scoot to and from School. It’s a great way to help students learn healthy habits and achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Along with the health benefits, walking to school has benefits for the whole community. It reduces traffic congestion, saves on parking, helps us connect with family and friends and even saves the environment! Parents who usually drive their sons can drop them just a couple of blocks from School, or park the car a distance from the School and walk in with your sons thereby also benefiting from the exercise. October is a great time to start walking, because Victoria’s fabulous spring sunshine makes it a pleasure to get out of the house, and the car!
Summer Uniform Boys may choose to use the first month of Term 4 for transition from winter into summer uniform. However, after the Melbourne Cup weekend all boys must be in summer attire. Irrespective of summer or winter uniform, hats must be worn from the start of Term 4. Howard Kelly, Head of Junior School
Sport
The AGSV Summer Season gets underway this afternoon as Firsts Basketball take on Trinity at their McIntyre Gym. Tomorrow, all teams commence their season, including Firsts Cricket and Tennis who also play Trinity tomorrow, while Firsts Volleyball play reigning premiers Mentone. The Kayaking squad have their first event this weekend as well, the 10km Bendigo Cup. Good luck to all students from all teams involved over the weekend. The School’s best Badminton players competed in the Victorian Badminton All Schools Championships at MSAC on Tuesday 15 October. Jason Tran, Luke Chen (Year 12), Peter Zhao, William Li (Year 11) and Otto Zhao (Year 10) came up against a host of other schools, including Wesley College, Emmanuel College, Yarra Valley Grammar, Maribyrnong College and East Doncaster Secondary School. In the round robin format, the team were dominant in the group stage, before coming up against stronger opposition in the final pool round. Mr Tap Duong, the teacher in charge of the team, gave the following summary of the final matches: Going into the final pool round, Camberwell were drawn to play Maribyrnong first, who presented the most difficult challenge of the day. Maribyrnong’s first player was extremely consistent, forcing Otto Zhao into multiple uncharacteristic mistakes and keeping the game extremely close. Otto drew to 14 first, but his opponent fought back valiantly to level it at 14-all and proceeding to a golden point. In an anti-climax, Otto’s opponent served the shuttle into the net, giifting Otto the point and the first game. From there, it was almost academic with our captain Jason Tran taking the ledger to 2 – 1, before Otto and Jason combined to deliver the crucial win in their doubles. The next round was just as important, but it was ultimately our undoing. Otto won his singles against East Doncaster’s first player easily; however, we then proceeded to lose every game as our players had tired from their close matches during the day. The 1 – 4 loss was crucial because Maribyrnong then defeated EDSC in their final group match to finish with 3 schools on a 2 – 1 win/loss ratio. With Camberwell having the worst game, we finished third this year and claimed the bronze medal. A valiant effort, considering the level and quality of opposition. A reminder that sessions with Craig Mottram, the former Olympian and Commonwealth Games athlete, are continuing throughout Term 4 on Wednesday mornings from 6.45am on the Keith Anderson Oval (KAO). The focus of the sessions is to develop aerobic fitness, resilience, mobility and core training, as well as strength
