Our School has just completed its 130 th year since its foundation. We continue to work within the vision outlined by our first Head, Arthur Bertram Taylor, to ‘embrace all of the subjects necessary for a boy’s complete education.’ It has been another busy year, with the construction of our new Chapel and Sports centre occupying much of our attention. With its completion, we now reach the end our current Master Plan and can look forward to a bit of a break from building for a while. Over the past dozen or so years we have been building and rebuilding many of our facilities, and now our students are very lucky to be able to work and learn in some extraordinary spaces. I am sure they are looking forward to trying out the new swimming pool and basketball courts, and will love having the Keith Anderson Oval available to them once more. We are blessed as a school to have such strong support from our community, which enables us to provide such renewal and facilities to our students. There is much to celebrate. But, as I have been heard to declare, schools are not collections of buildings. Rather, they are teams of people, working together in common cause and in the name

Welcome

of education, as they prepare young people to be ready for life. The Grammarian records our community in action, as we go about our daily mission, and we strive to provide the best education we can to our students. Within its pages, we will find evidence of our studies, our sporting competition, our music and our drama. We will see some of the artwork made by boys of all ages, and read some of the stories they have written. We can read about their trips and excursions and see them recorded in action in the photographs. It is a snapshot; an impression of a busy year, filled with incident. In any school year, there are highs and lows. Sad and tragic things happen in schools too, and it is fitting we pay tribute to absent friends and remember their contribution to this School of ours. I remain so impressed and moved by the generosity of our community in times of trouble, and I offer my thanks and appreciation. As always, The Grammarian is the product of many people’s work. Kevin Chen and Jack Zhang have led our student editorial team this year and have worked diligently to put this edition together. Others have contributed stories and photographs and their work is appreciated too. They have brought their unique vision to all that has happened in 2016. The bulk of the

work however, was conducted by our extraordinary staff editor, Mrs Jade Dolling, who has patiently and persistently pieced the whole puzzle of the year together. It is an enormous task, and I am grateful for and impressed by what she has been able to achieve. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

Introduction

Editorial How long has it been since the first time I stepped onto the school grounds? Six Years have passed, and I cannot begin to describe the joy and the excitement I have experienced in my brief time at Camberwell Grammar. I can still feel the tingling in my heart on the night before the camps, the tightening of my chest before the examinations, the quivering of my arms before the school concerts. Indeed, looking back at 2016, it is a year packed with experiences we will always remember. As we come to the year’s conclusion, we can see the results of our dedication throughout 2016. I especially want to congratulate Mr Bishop, our new Director of Music, on his stellar performance at the Biennial Concert, not only in conducting numerous ensembles, but also the sweat fuelled hours he spent in preparation for the night. We will all

fondly remember the cannons of the ‘1812 Overture’ and the sweet sound of ‘Bui Doi’. There is no one more suited to carry on the legendary music program here at Camberwell Grammar, and I shall look forward to his concerts in the future. I would like to wish the graduating students the best of luck on their endeavours, as they face new challenges and step into the wider world. I hope they will treasure their memories of their time as students of Camberwell Grammar School, as they chase their dreams and find their own success in the world. The beginning of a new year means the start of another enriching year of school. I would like to welcome all the new students and wish them the very best in their studies. I also would like to wish the new Year 12 leaders of the School a successful year, as they will face the toughest time in their high school

career. Work hard and leave no regrets, push yourself to your limit and beyond, so that you will be satisfied of your achievements when you look back in the future. Finally, I must offer my gratitude to The Grammarian Committee and the Development Office especially Mrs Dolling, as they have toiled throughout the year to present to you the most comprehensive collection of our memories and achievements of 2016 in the form of The Grammarian. It is a unique collection of your stories, your adventures, and your accomplishments – the deeds by which we shall be known. I hope you enjoy the 2016 edition of The Grammarian.

Throughout the year, Camberwell Grammar School has seen a wide range of activities and initiatives set in motion and facilitated by the Prefects of the school. There may be 18 prefects, but there is a single team of leaders working to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible. You might have seen them ushering at a Junior or Middle School production or handing out programs at the culmination of the school’s rich music culture, the Biennial concert. Wherever they were, the Prefects willingly took time out during the ball of stress that is Year 12 to help out where possible. The bridges between the Senior and Middle Schools proved a challenge for more than one frustrated student or teacher, attempting to work even as hundreds of students tramped across the metal which seemingly amplified every sound. Nonetheless, exciting times lie ahead with the imminent opening of the new facilities where the C block once stood. Despite the physical separation between each area of the school, the success of the Junior School mentoring program, organised by Hamish Webber, and the combined leadership lunch with the Middle School leaves no doubt that the school’s students remain connected. Through abundant sausage sizzles, various competitions and the joint effort of packing birthing kits with Camberwell Girls for International Women’s Day, the school contributed to the wider community wherever possible. Of particular note perhaps was the way we rallied around the

Aimed to support a family many of us had met on Year 8 camp at Kangaroobie, the movement truly captured the potential for the Prefects to effect change in the lives of others. The year has been far from easy, but undoubtedly fulfilling. It has been a privilege to lead, and we appreciate the efforts made by each Prefect, by other students and by teachers to support us in doing so. Best of luck to next year’s leaders, and thank you to those who have made 2016 the year it was. Brian Kim and Mac Hill School Captain and School Vice Captain

Introduction

Hamer Hall Biennial Concert Our Director of Music, Mr Ben Bishop, and our talented Music Staff were able to achieve extraordinary results with our students and the audience was treated with a magical evening on so many levels. From the gorgeous tango played by our Junior School Orchestra to the rousing strains of the 1812 Overture (complete with cannons!), the standard of performance was simply stunning. It is difficult to identify highlights, but Nathan Fong’s magnificent playing of the Bruch Violin concerto was surely one, as was the exquisite singing of the Chorale. The ‘Theme Team’ added a new and entertaining element to the evening, as did the reprise performance of highlights from this year’s musical, City of Angels. The massed singing, though, was the real highlight of the night, with a choir of over 1000 male voices singing songs which ranged from the standard, ‘New York, New York’ to Miss Saigon’s ‘Bui Doi’, and of course the unofficial school song, ‘The Anthem’ from Chess. I felt very proud to be a part of the Camberwell Community during this event – our boys were simply superb. Thank you and well done to all. Dr Paul Hicks Headmaster

Spiritual Life of the School Each week in Assembly the boys take part in worship. The Bible is read and a hymn is sung with gusto. It has always been my challenge and delight to address the assemblies. My focus has been to make the Bible reading relevant to our busy lives at school. Every term the Middle School makes a pilgrimage to our local Anglican Church, St Mark’s. There is always a warm welcome and a memorable service of worship.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

God is Creator and Artist of the whole world. God is the great artist. What does it mean to be made in “His image”? Here at Camberwell we have created an amazing space to glorify God, Creator Saviour and Friend. Our beautiful new Chapel has so many stories and features, to encourage and strengthen our faith. Truly, it will be such a blessing for all our community when we gather in our Holy Space. Enormous thanks to so many; the Headmaster, the Council, the Architects and builders…A labour of love.

Mustard At lunchtime on a Tuesday, the smell of pizza wafts from W205, the old Chapel, as boys from Middle and Senior School meet together for Mustard.

Introduction Religious Education reaches all students through the classroom but there is a need for Christian fellowship and pastoring. Mustard brings these important experiences to those who choose to come. Thanks for the support of Rev. Matt and Mark from St Mark’s.

Parents’ Prayer Group Prayer is a quiet strength, an encouragement beneath and around our busy community. Parents and chaplains gather together monthly to pray. Next year we look forward to meeting in the new Chapel. Please contact Mrs Ros Thorn or Rev Butler for more information. Reverend Charles Butler School Chaplain Teaching young children is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. The young are full of wonder, bursting with questions and sometimes comically curious. Year 1 has been arguing, like true philosophers, about the existence of God. Year 2 has been quietly listening to how great stories can call us to better ways to live. Year 3 has been pondering Jesus’ tricky sayings and difficult parables. Year 4 wrestled with the remarkable lives of

the Saints, and Year 5 pondered the five major world religions. Each of these is an honourable and necessary steppingstone on the path to understanding. I am honoured to be a silent, respectful listener, a contributor and a fellow explorer in these conversations. Ms Jeanette Acland Junior School Chaplain

Introduction

Faith and Social Justice Settling into the responsibilities of the Prefect position this year was rather tough with the constant weight of assignments and exams pulling attention away from projects. It was very easy to lose focus and see weeks go by swiftly as deadlines approached. However I believe the school community has really stepped up this year and it is promising to see the emergence of various groups that have grown so much. The Rotary Interact Club was a crucial medium for fulfilling my duties in the Social Justice area. Starting this year with a humble group of about 20 students, we organised a range of small events that raised several hundred dollars each. However, it was the

coordination of our large events, such as the Captain America Movie Night and the Year 9 Social, which really showcased our ability to work together and raise thousands of dollars. Finishing this year, the club has doubled its numbers to around 45 members and we have raised approximately $20,000 for both the Light House Foundation and We Can’t Wait; $7,000 of which was donated to We Can’t Wait and matched by the State Government and various other local Rotary Interact Clubs to total $35,000. Leaving the club as the Co-President, I have no doubt that next year it will continue to grow and raise even more money for a good cause. Towards2050 is another group that saw huge development this year. Focusing on the environmental issues of society, we have organised several projects to increase awareness and raise money. Through a school-wide awareness week and casual clothes day, the group has established strong relations with the Australian Conservation Foundation by raising $3,000. In terms of awareness, we have observed decreases in the school’s energy use for lighting by our implementation of reminders above light switches in every classroom. But it was the lobbying with school administration to move Camberwell

Grammar to renewable energy that saw huge progress. Currently there are plans next year to move towards solar panels with the construction of the new building. Similarly, the upholding of religious values and faith this year relied heavily on the synergy between the Senior and Middle school. Regardless of religion and year level, many students attended the weekly religious meeting, ‘Mustard’, where a various topics were discussed. These ranged from the everyday applications of religious beliefs to the place of religion in society, where there are certain clashes in expectations and values. I believe the attendance of school leaders was paramount in providing suitable role models for the younger students attending these meetings. In essence, I would like to extend my gratitude to the teachers and my peers in Camberwell Grammar who have made the triumphs of this year possible. Notably, the mentorship of last year’s Prefect of Faith and Social Justice, Isaac Choong, provided precious advice and encouragement that cleared up many obstacles that arose throughout the year. In a similar vein, the supervision and overseeing of projects by Mr Double, Mr Hone and Ms Falloon were paramount to their success and completion. With the development of many prosperous and influential groups within the school community, I wish Henry Wu the best of luck for next year and have the utmost hope and pride that the school has promising prospects. Nathan Huynh Prefect for Faith and Social Justice

Introduction

Junior and Middle School Liaison Camberwell Grammar’s Senior, Middle and Junior Schools can sometimes feel separated by geography and age which can cause the formation of relationships between these students hard at times. However, all of us are proud to be Camberwell Grammarians and have a sense of community which has been instilled in us throughout our journey at school. The liaison role aims to strengthen the relationship between the schools, by fostering interaction between the eldest boys in the school with the younger boys by developing relationships through sport and academics. It is also creates a way for the Year 12 boys to pass on their wealth of experience and knowledge to those who are going to follow in their footsteps. The Junior School Mentoring Program started up in Week 5 and was the first activity to build a bridge between the oldest boys in the school and those just starting out in Junior School. The program involved Year 12 students giving up one their private study periods to help mentor or teach in the Junior School classes which ranged from English and Sport, to Maths and even Language classes. The relationships built in the classroom grew to enjoyable times in the library spending lunchtimes together. Not a day went past without some level of interaction between students of the Senior School and those of the younger year levels and we hope that they enjoyed themselves as much as we did. Another highlight of the year in Junior school was the Prep 100 Days celebration. A number of Prefects went to the Prep Classroom dressed as 100-year-old men to help the Preps celebrate their 100th day of schooling. The morning was full of activities that revolved around the number 100. These included painting, cup stacking, damper making and also creating butter from cream by hand. The Preps seemed to enjoy the morning and put lots of effort into dressing up as 100-year-old men, but I think the Year 12s also enjoyed a small break from their studies to have some fun with the youngest students in the school.

Introduction

Over the other side of the school during a small break in House activities the Senior School House Leadership groups met with the Middle School House Leadership groups to have a Leadership seminar. The topics of the seminar revolved around the idea of leadership and how it can be implemented into their roles. The Senior students were able to call on past experiences to help the Middle School students, who may find themselves in the same situation. This not only helped the Middle School Students to lead their House in what was the upcoming House Swimming, but also helped gain important advice from Senior students about their entry into the Senior School next year. The final formal activity between the Senior School and Junior School for 2016 was the annual Prefects vs. Year 5 Soccer Match. It was an extremely close match with both sides showing signs of taking out the victory but unfortunately for the Prefects the Year 5 side was once again too strong and came out on top. Congratulations to all the victorious Year 5s who played the game and contributed to the win. Also on the same day there was the first ever Street Soccer match between the winners of the Middle school street soccer tournament and a team of Year 12s. Again this was a very closely contested by both sides and luckily for the Year 12s they were able to come out on top. All the events that took place during the year have strengthened the bonds students share and built a strong foundation between many year levels. It has been wonderful to watch the relationships between the boys in Senior School, Middle School and Junior School evolve. Hamish Webber Prefect for Junior and Middle School Liaison

Junior School For students to achieve a comprehensive, well-rounded education, integrated teamwork on several fronts is vital. Teamwork is necessary between students, between students and teachers, and among parents and educators. The more teamwork fundamentals exhibited, the more opportunity exists for students to learn the vital skills of compromise and collaboration. Our rich and diverse curriculum suits the interests and tempo of boys and this year we have continued to create learning opportunities that are active, engaging, inspiring and where possible incorporating teamwork. A highlight this year was our musical production ‘Are We There Yet?.... Road To Rio.’ This was a prime example of students working together as a team to present an item of song and dance around the central theme of the Olympics. Each class selected a country and a sport and worked together to produce a musical item. Many thanks to the teams of parents who assisted with costumes. The result was a magnificent show full of creativity, music and movement. Science Week is celebrated in the Junior School with a designated Science Day filled with activity, investigation and excitement. With the theme this year being Drones, Droids and Robots, we had a team from ARI Labs visit us and explain what a drone can be used for and how it works. ARI Labs is Australia’s leading solution and service provider in robotics and automation, in particular aerial systems, also known as drones, which are used for transport, videography and many other applications.

During the day the boys then rotated through a series of activities aimed at targeting specific science understandings. The afternoon session involved the students in Year 4 and 5 observing a Science show by teachers from the Senior School while the boys in Prep to Year 3 worked on a group challenge to build a bridge for the Three Billy Goats Gruff to cross. The Years 5 boys also entered the Science Talent Search. This year we had many successful Year 5 entries, including seven minor bursaries and two major bursaries. Boys identified as requiring support or extension are provided for through a range of programs. Maths Olympiad is a mathematics extension activity for boys in Year 4 and 5. The boys thoroughly enjoy further developing their problem solving and strategy skills in small groups with their assigned teacher. Mrs Carmen Morgan has also continued to run a morning mathematics assistance class with many boys taking up the opportunity this year. 2016 has seen the establishment of the Norge Learning Gym. This is a before school program designed to support boys in the upper primary years, requiring assistance with study and organisational skills.

Introduction

Curriculum has been very pleasing to see the students implementing their understanding of the ‘Seven Steps to Writing’ to engage the audience. 2016 has been the second year Theatre Club has run after school with Miss Rafaela Cleeve Gerkens. There have been many drama enthusiasts who have taken the opportunity to develop their performance skills. This is another opportunity for boys to collaborate in multiage groups. Club Norge has also provided students the opportunity to work together across grade levels through their sports activities and Chess Club on a Friday afternoon, which is very popular activity.

Writing has continued to be a priority in the Junior School. Our Weekly Writers’ Competition has continued, giving the boys an opportunity to express themselves as young writers. It

The excellent NAPLAN results are a reflection of the high level of commitment to teaching and learning across the school. The students in Year 3 and 5 have performed above the state average in all areas. The boys are congratulated on their efforts and achievements. Staff in the Junior School have continued to work together on our peer coaching program. Teachers take the opportunity to work in teams, observing lessons and providing meaningful feedback to each other. As educators we are all very keen to refine our skills and become the best possible teachers for the students in our care. This is another example of teachers working together, supporting one another and modelling teamwork to our students. Boys in Year 12 this year were recruited by the Year 12 Junior and Middle School Liaison Prefect Hamish Webber, who started his Camberwell Grammar journey in the Junior School. The boys all look forward to the Senior School boys visiting and assisting with the classroom programs. We appreciate the time the boys give up in their busy Year 12 schedules. It is always a pleasure to see former Junior School boys revisit and meet some new boys and see their mentoring and leadership skills develop. The Junior School teachers would like to acknowledge the support they have received this year from parents and senior school mentors. Their involvement enriches our program and demonstrates fabulous examples of teamwork in our community. Mrs Caroline Gatley Junior School Deputy Head, Curriculum

Middle School By the time our Middle School students leave school to make their way through life, the world will be a very different place. Employment will be flexible and likely to change more frequently; connection with others around the world will become a natural part of their lives; attitudes to technology will shift from “what can it do” to “what can I get it to do”, from using to creating; and increased interactions and connections with people and organisations in other countries will require broader, more refined communication skills. Clearly, there are implications for our curriculum in light of such significant changes. Whilst the Australian Curriculum provides students with a broad understanding and fundamental skills in each learning area, students also need opportunities to explore and collaborate, to be innovative and entrepreneurial, and to

learn how to connect and work with others, not merely to share information, but to begin to see the world through their eyes. Accordingly, there is an increasing emphasis – in every subject area in our curriculum – on problem solving and creative thinking, and greater opportunities for students to collaborate on projects, to help develop key skills such as planning, communication and teamwork. The Year 8 STEM project, introduced this year as a two-week unit, is an obvious example. In this project, students form teams and draw on their particular strengths to work towards a solution to a construction challenge, demonstrating not only what they have learnt, but also how they work through the process together, creating original ideas and refine these through successive trials and subsequent discussions. As part of the Year 7 Civics and Citizenship course, students design and coordinate their own Form excursion, including deciding on destinations,

monitoring costs, coordinating different modes of transport and communicating with parents, all of which draws considerably on their skills of collaboration and compromise. There are many more examples of students working together, developing new ideas that sit outside or lie within the core curriculum, including: involvement in charity work such as Projec10 and $20 Boss, project work in History and Science, and the computational and algorithmic thinking activities that were introduced into Year 7 Mathematics this year. Through our Personal Skills and Competencies course, students develop skills and strategies including mindfulness, emotional intelligence, resilience, and growth mindset. The Emotional Intelligence course, which we deliver in collaboration with Swinburne University, has been adopted at various year levels throughout the School (including Year 8 this year) as part of an integrated, ongoing course, and will expand to include Year 7 students in 2017. We are fortunate to have class time set aside each week to not only practise a range of personal skills such as those mentioned above, but to also discuss issues that arise in the media or at school, or that are relevant to the boys

at this stage of their lives, all of which help them to formulate and express their own ideas, and to empathise with others. Our curriculum is always changing – perhaps now more than ever. But underlying this change is a consistent goal: to do what we can to help our boys grow into fine young men. We want them to become confident architects of their own lives, with the personal and intellectual skills they need to forge their way in the world, to treat others with respect and kindness, and to develop sensitive, considered views about the issues and challenges– whatever they may be – that they may face throughout their lives. Mr Scott Wyatt Deputy Head of Middle School

Introduction

Along the road to Year 12, feedback from teachers and regular informal and formal assessments help parents, students and teachers get a sense of feedback on how progress is being made. This regular feedback to students gives them an immediate sense of progress and should help them know how they can improve.

Senior School A few years ago, I was doing some exercise in the gym and saw a basketball training session happening in the court adjacent. A coach was holding a session for about a dozen Prep-aged children. There was not much equipment except for some basketballs and the boys were practising throwing, bouncing and catching the basketballs. One activity was to try to get the basketball into the regulation-height hoop far above their heads. Of course, none of them got the ball in: it was considerably too high for them.

improve. What might have been helpful would have been a much lower basketball net; one that kids had a reasonable chance of scoring into. Then, the height could be gradually increased over time until eventually, the regulation net could be used.

It is important that students feel a sense of progress as they learn day by day. If they always feel that success is beyond them, as objective as the standard may be, it would be no surprise that one of the results would be waning engagement. Especially in the Senior School, the prospect of the VCE examinations and the ATAR result seem to loom particularly large. But, as we There is no denying that the regulationkeep emphasising to students, the ATAR is height hoop is accepted as the objective only a number, of specific use and limited standard for scoring in basketball. But, the relevance to many courses that students objective standard was of no benefit to those may wish to undertake. young basketballers who were trying to

We want to separate these two very worthy aims: measurement and improvement. Assessment can meet both these aims but often, once the students knows his grade or result, the imperative to go over the assessment and analyse it tends to dim. During the course of a semester, the aim of the teacher is the improvement of the students. Only at the end of the semester do we want to make some definite statement about how the student measures up. Good teaching has many things in common with good learning. Both seek to regularly check the progress and status of the learning. Is the concept understood and can it be demonstrated to be understood through expression or doing an exercise? How can the learning be consolidated so that it is readily accessed many days or months later? Is the learning connectable to existing knowledge? The more students can connect new learning to concepts already known, the better the prospect of fully understanding and recalling the new idea. In all these instances during the process of learning, deeper understanding is important but comparing achievement with other students in the class may not be that helpful. During the learning stage there should be a ‘yes’ to collaboration - and

Introduction competition aspect can be deferred for the final summative examination. Even in Year 12 students who work together in a class to discuss, express and refine a concept will do much better as a group than those who do not. The real competition is not between students in the class but between a student at our school and those thousands of others undertaking the same subject throughout the state. Listening to some of the Australian swimmers at the recent Rio Olympics respond to that time-worn question, “Are you confident of winning?” reminded me of a response to the same question many years ago by the great Ian Thorpe. He answered in terms of his focus on improving and perfecting every single facet of his swimming stroke and technique. In other words, he turned a measurement question into an improvement answer. Technology provides us with increasingly more powerful tools to help with instant feedback. Online quizzes are one example and there is no doubt that the scope and accuracy of internet-mediated assessment is only going to grow; we recently participated in a trial of an online adaptive NAPLAN assessment. But, tried and tested techniques go to the heart of learning as a social endeavour. Techniques like class discussions, questioning and responding, students going up to the board to show their solution to a problem – these all help students and teachers know what they know and where the speed bumps to progress are. Our learning management system, Schoology, is being increasingly used for the benefit of students and so that parents have a sense of the week to week progress of their sons.

Every parent would recall and appreciate that infants are impressive learning machines. Their unceasing testing, experimenting, questioning (and eating) of new concepts, skills and objects make learning seem innate and organic. The degree to which our species is able to learn is one of features that distinguishes us from others. But, just because of the innate and organic nature of that activity, it does not mean that learning – or teaching – is simple. Regular feedback through formal and informal assessment helps make this invisible activity more apparent to the learner and the teacher resulting in better learning. Mr Dayan Ramalingam Head of Curriculum (Years 9-12)

Department Notes Chinese 2016 is the Year of the Monkey and monkeys are said to be enthusiastic, self-assured and innovative. The Chinese Department has had another busy and successful year. In February, we celebrated Chinese New Year with many students participating in the lion and dragon dances and thoroughly enjoying the experience. Our students also enjoyed several modern Chinese films and delicious Chinese meals in Chinatown during Melbourne International Film Festival. At the beginning of Term 3, we received three exchange students and their teacher Miss Peng from our brother school, Nanjing Foreign Language School Xianlin Campus. Our students gained knowledge through the Chinese students’ presentations on China and Chinese culture. We also had over 80 students from China, who came to Australia to take part in a Global Village Chinese bilingual speaking competition, spend a day at CGS in July and our students’ friendship and hospitality were greatly appreciated. Some of our students also took part in the Global

Village competition and achieved pleasing results as well as other Chinese language competitions organized by CLTAV. In August, Patrick Dempsey (2014), an Old Boy of CGS, came to talk to middle school students about his amazing experiences in China and shared his Chinese learning journey with them. This year’s Open Day was another success and many parents and students enjoyed a variety of Chinese activities, including a display of students’ achievements. I would like to thank Ms Wang for organising the display and decorating our Confucius classroom. I would also like to thank all the members of Chinese Department for their hard work and professionalism. During Term 2 holidays, some of our teachers attended national Chinese Teachers’ annual conference in Brisbane and I delivered a keynote speech at the conference. In October, a new VCE study Chinese Language, Culture and Society was announced by VCAA and it will be implemented from 2017. As the coauthor of this new study design, I am excited about this development and I am confident that this new study design will encourage more nonChinese background students to take up Chinese.

Commerce The front pages of our newspapers and headlines on the evening TV news are replete with stories of mayhem and money. Crimes, punishment, interest rates, unemployment, the ‘budget crisis’, corporate greed and misadventure, the rise and fall of the share market all dominate the daily news, and it with this, that students studying Commerce engage. In Years 9 and 10 students gain a broad understanding of commercial issues, both nationwide- such as the legal system, or personalised when they study household budgets and credit cards. At Years 11 and 12, students specialise in Legal Studies, Economics and Accounting. As a subject that has a real world focus, 18

numerous excursions were undertaken in 2016 in order to link reality with the content studied in the classroom. Students visited both the County and Supreme courts to view real cases, Marngoneet Prison; the Queen Victoria Market; Old Melbourne Gaol; a trial re‑enactment at the Old Melbourne Courthouse Complex; State Parliament and the Old Treasury Building. Through these experiences Commerce students are more easily able to make sense of the theory they study in class. For the fourth year in a row, senior Economic students have had success in the UNSW Business School Economics Competition with a number of High Distinctions being awarded to Camberwell Students, the highlight being a cash prize awarded to Leo Wan in Year 12. The bottled water industry in Australia is worth approximately $1 billion per year in Australia! On Open Day members of the school community were able to put their taste buds to the test when the Commerce department conducted a water taste test. Bottled, filtered and tap water were offered to visitors for tasting to see if all the marketing of water is hype, or if consumers really can tell the difference.

popular elective at Years 9 and 10 and is also strongly supported at the VCE level. Many students continue with their study in the commerce fields at the tertiary level. We believe our students are well equipped to engage with the increasingly complicated world in which they live and are able to better plan and understand their role in it as they leave school and make their own way in life. Finally, I would like to thank and acknowledge the outstanding contributions the commerce staff have made in 2016. Their enthusiasm and dedication have endeared them to our students and fuelled the passion of budding lawyers, economists, politicians and accountants. Mr Manfred Pietralla Acting-Head of Commerce

E-Learning 2016 has been another busy and productive year for the school as Parent Access to Schoology was extended to the parents of boys in Year 9, giving them access to their sons’ progress across all of their subjects. Comments from staff and parents suggested this led to richer conversations at ParentTeacher evenings, with parents indicating a stronger understanding of the nature of the work being completed by their sons in individual subjects. Parent Access will continue to be implemented progressively across the Senior School, extending to Year 10 in 2017, then Year 11 in 2017 and Year 12 in 2018. As a part of this process, the school is also exploring the use of Schoology to facilitate online feedback to students and their parents for coursework results. While this has been occurring in some subjects, the intention is to make this more uniform throughout the school so that parents and their sons can see their results and progress comments for the key coursework areas of their individual subjects. This is a measure we hope will enrich the school’s reporting and assessment processes for parents and students alike.

The school has continued to cement close relationships with Schoology in the US, as well as confirming its position as one of the leading schools in Victoria for the use of Schoology in partnership with Schoology’s Australian representative, CompNow. This has brought several visits from other schools who are interested to see how we are using Schoology as a Learning Management System, as well as participation in international surveys and studies regarding our use of Schoology as a southern hemisphere school and the difference in our teaching and assessment needs from northern hemisphere schools. In many ways, the innovative use of Schoology by our teaching staff helps us to drive suggested improvements to the LMS platform that can be of benefit to other users in Australia and New Zealand. We look forward to continuing to develop and deliver these improvements in 2017.

inform their understanding of their progress throughout a term and, ultimately, across a semester. This incremental reporting process, we hope, will also allow parents to have richer conversations with their sons about their work and to identify key strengths and challenges in their progress in a timelier manner. In the age of Big Data, this is one of the key personal benefits for learners, teachers and parents that will allow them to measure their progress and support achievement over time.

Another initiative was the advent of the after school English Assistance programme run by two Old Boys – both of whom attained perfect scores in English last year – Isaac Choong (2015) and Farouk Al-Salihi (2015). Their contributions in educating, directing and motivating a range of students in Years 9 – 12 has been greatly appreciated. In terms of student achievement, congratulations to Cameron James and Yeuyang Chen for winning Mervyn Britten Memorial Prizes, both of whom wrote richly imaginative and beautifully crafted short stories. There was also continued success in a range of DAV Debating teams, the highlight on an individual level being Luc Raszewski’s Swannie Award. Of exceptional note was Vignesh Alagappan’s success in the VCAA Plain Speaking English Award. Having reached the State Semi-Final whilst still in Year 11 has only piqued his interest to enter the competition again next year in the hope of even greater success. Mr Rick Mason Head of English

English A blend of given and new seems to regularly run its course through much of what happens in the English Department, from internal concerns of text selection and staffing to new courses as directed by VCAA. Fortunately, the challenges are always met by the teaching staff, ably led in the Middle School by Mr Colin Stein and at Years 10 – 12 by Mr Matthew Aram, Ms Kathryn Smith and Ms Penny Wood, respectively. Additional demands were placed upon VCE subjects with new study designs being implemented at Year 11 in English, Literature and EAL.

To add interest to an already busy year in terms of curriculum, we saw the reintroduction of English Language to the school after a break of nearly a decade. Particular gratitude is extended here to Mr James Victor and Mr Matthew Aram for introducing it with such professionalism and The intention is to provide students with real enthusiasm that its popularity with students time information about their progress in their has seen it maintain two classes in Year 11 individual coursework that can be used to and retain two for Year 12 next year.

In 2016 Camberwell Grammar School had EAL classes for Year 9 to 12 students, with the Year 9 and 10 composite class taken by Mr James Victor. Mr Michael Daniel taught the Year 11 and 12 classes. This year the school experimented with using the digital version of the Headway Course published by Oxford University Press with mixed results. The Year 11 cohort was the first class to undertake the new Unit 1 & 2 EAL courses. New components included a listening comprehension task, and comparison of texts. To develop and practise their listening comprehension skills, students again participated in the VCAA pilot listening comprehension project, completing a task similar to what they may encounter in the end of Year 12 examination in 2017. Mr Daniel also co-authored a revised edition of EAL for Year 12 published by Insight Publications in preparation for the new Unit 3 & 4 courses in 2017.

French We have had another exciting year in the French Department, and of course it was a pleasure to welcome back Mr Stephen Cooper after his well-deserved break in the latter part of 2015. Here are some other highlights of the year: After a very positive response we selected seven students to participate in the new CGS-Lycée Assomption Bellevue (Lyon) exchange for 2016. This wonderful opportunity allows families to host a student from Lyon for six weeks in July to August. Our hosts were families of Year 10 and 11 students who themselves embark on

the second part of the exchange where they experience a French Christmas and New Year with their Lyon hosts. We look forward to hearing back from Theo Gong, Jake Brown, Sean Kennedy, Lachlan Li, Fin Sampson, Owen Seeley and Sam Windisch upon their return in January. In addition to these boys, CGS was lucky enough to host two other French students in 2016, making French quite a presence during the winter months! In other news, we had many boys compete in the Alliance Française Berthe Mouchette Competition again this year. In 2016, 83 participated in the oral component and over half of these students earned a mark of 19/20 or above! Twenty-five boys received a perfect 20/20 and thus competed in the state finals. Overall, Alan Zhou from Year 10 won in the ‘Hors Catégorie’ section. For the written component, of the 24 participants, five received a Distinction, eight a High Distinction and these boys qualified for the state finals. Charles Li of Year 10 won third prize in the state for his outstanding work. 2016 also saw a new event for Year 9 and 10 students, ‘Soirée Trivia’ held at Fintona Girls’ School in July. We had several teams who participated in some French fun and games including ‘Pin the Eiffel Tower on France’ and a traditional trivia game with fun cultural, historical, geographic and linguistics brain-teasers. One of the two Year 10 teams, with Jake Brown and Christian Chéné, won the event overall. Another enjoyable occasion was the ‘petit déjeuner’ at a local café where the Year 12s brushed up on their French conversation skills before their final oral examination. Fresh crêpes au chocolat were on the menu to help soothe their nerves.

Next year in September Mr Ken Da Costa and Mr Jason Hall will again lead the French and art enthusiasts to Paris and surrounds on the biennial French Cultural Tour. Merci à toute l’équipe. Ms Naomi Eckersley Head of French

Geography 2016 ushered in many changes within the Geography Department, with the departure of Ms Alexandra Newbold we welcomed Ms Victoria Papaiouannou to teach Year 8 and 10. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of topic matter ensured an easy transition into this teaching load and her help in curriculum development, especially in Year 10, was appreciated. A new study design change to the format and topics of VCE units 1-4, ensured all members of the department, especially Mr Ian March who coordinates VCE units 1 and 2 whilst also teaching Units 3 and 4, worked hard to develop curriculum workbooks and assessments ready for day one 2016. These changes keep coming as 2017 will see a new Year 8 curriculum introduced, a sincere thankyou to Ms Katrina Massey for working to build this curriculum. Fieldwork has seen an overhaul as the new Australian Curriculum and Study Design has taken shape and new fieldwork sites have been explored. The Unit 3 VCE students visited the peri-urban suburb of Caroline Springs to collect fieldwork on Land Use Change, whilst the Year 11 unit 1 and 2 students ventured to St. Kilda to study the effect and management of Tourism in the precinct. Some of the students were lucky to spot Tim Cahill and Melbourne City FC players undertaking recovery in the bay after their Derby match in the FFA cup semi-final.

Introduction I would like to thank Ms Jennifer Turnnidge for organising and collating the National Geographic Competition this year. Students from Years 7-12 completed the competition against 77,000 students from 770 schools Australia wide. This year we had six students place in the top 1% of the competition. The successful students were, from Year 8; Jamie Garnham and William Murray, Year 9; James Gunasegaram, Oliver Papillo and Max Ramm and Year 10; Charles Huang. In addition to this we received 67 High Distinctions across all year levels. All of these students should be congratulated on their remarkable achievement in this national competition. Lastly I would like to thank all members of the Department for their hard work and dedication in 2016 and look forward to continuing this good work into 2017. Mr Tim Cross Head of Geography

History VCE Global Politics (Units 3 & 4) 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 the 2016 US Presidential election. Also, with two classes in 2016 and again in 2017, the Year 12 Revolutions course remains popular with Humanities students. Involving indepth studies of the Russian and Chinese revolutions, students enjoy grappling with Communist ideology and learning about such fascinating characters as Lenin, Rasputin and Mao Zedong. Two full History classes at Year 11 have enjoyed the Units 1 and 2 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. This year was the fourth year of the compulsory Australian Curriculum History course at Years 9 and 10, and, despite the battering given to the course by some politicians, it has been favourably received by CGS students. 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

Indonesian This has been a busy and successful year for the Indonesian Department with the focus being on the promotion of Asian literacy and capabilities through language and culture. In relation to this, we had some very interesting global ambassadors from the Asia Education Foundation and the Red Cross who gave their perspective on our closest neighbour and what it means to live next door to 250 million Indonesians. The focus of these discussions centred on career opportunities, language development and forging links for students to enable them to be successful global citizens. We started the year by attending the annual Indonesian Film Festival held at ACMI. Students had the opportunity to appreciate the very best of Indonesian film for 2016, and this year we enjoyed a preview of a gentle coming of age movie about youth transition, where the themes of growing up and friendship were relevant to our boys. This was closely followed by the Year 8 Melbourne Zoo excursion. One of the topics

studied by Year 8 students this year was endangered species of Indonesia and the impact of loss of habitat on the environment. It was a sunny day in March when we set out, and the boys enjoyed investigating the different animals and learning about their habitats. Developing an awareness of the environment is an area that we visit time and again in the Indonesian curriculum because of the global impact on our present and future environment. Indonesian Independence day, which falls on the 17 August, culminated in our annual incursion where the Year 7 and 8 students watched a shadow puppet performance as well as taking part in a gamelan orchestra.

management, network and web interfaces, wearable and intelligent technology and robotics for the future. This was also clearly evident at University Open Days this year.

Enjoying and cooking food is also a focus of our department and this year was no exception, with lunches, green coconut pancakes and excursions to Nelayan Restaurant.

We have been successful in external competitions again this year. As examples, we won awards in the Algorithmics and Science Talent Search Programming Competitions. We congratulate Jeff Li, Rory Lewis, James Gunasegaram, Nicholas Browne and Niko Verrios on their excellent effort and success.

It is great to see that the Indonesian Department is growing with the amount of boys studying the language. The smooth running of the Indonesian Department is largely dependent on the Indonesian staff and this year in my capacity as Head of Department, I have enjoyed the camaraderie of my colleagues Ms Penny Runge and Mr Hamish Green and thank them for their hard work, dedication and continued contribution in teaching and promoting the language. We have a new staff member this year – Ms Aretha Kakerissa from Ambon who is working in the Department on a part-time role, and I formally welcome her to the Indonesian Department.

IT and technology continues to encourage all students to experiment and innovate and we are always on the lookout to extend our ideas and the scope for the boys. For example, we have included some drones this year and despite flying them into trees, onto roofs and through buildings we haven’t broken very much and have learnt an enormous amount about this emerging and fun technology.

2017 will continue to demand change as the IT Department gains the brief of starting to extend technology throughout the school. Ms Janet Sharmen We are particularly grateful for the work of Mr Head of Indonesian Lindsay Fowler and Mr Glenn Pountney who always find time to engage the boys and the willingness to take on new outcomes for our students. They are apparently unfazed by the 2016 started in a hurry and kept right on going! chaotic world of change called technology education.

Latin 2016 was an even-numbered year - which means, in the Latin Department, the Latin Tour- a watershed event to which all staff eagerly look forward. This year’s trip comprised thirty keen Year 10 and 11 students, and four teachers, Dr Tebb Kusserow and Mr John Tuckfield each guiding a sub-group of 15 students, ably assisted by Mr James Victor and Dr David Bird, respectively. As usual the tour proved a whirlwind of spectacular cultural stimuli, both ancient and modern. Muchloved locations and characters from the Cambridge Latin course book storyline received deserved attention, whilst new discoveries - the palace of Diocletian and the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, for example - elicited rapt superlatives from even the four aged-veterans. All in all, too much to describe here - but if you hanker for the juicy details, please do peruse the Latin Tour-specific article and photos featured in Spectemur. On the home front, we welcomed a new department member: Mr Elliott Bauer. Elliott filled in for Mr Samuel Gough, longtime colleague and paradigm of scholarly industry and Latin erudition. Elliott has taken to the Cambridge course with predictable enthusiasm, guiding students along the paths traversed by comic buffoons Modestus and Strythio in Year 9, and

At VCE level, Dr Kusserow and Mr Tuckfield have been sharing the experience of explicating Aeneid VII with their respective Year 12 classes, and what a fascinating, even if lesser known, book of the Aeneid it has turned out to be. The principal antagonist of the work, Turnus, is attacked and possessed by a vicious Gorgonlike goddess, replete with hissing snake-hair - who wouldn’t want to read about that? On a more prosaic level, Dr Kusserow (having taken one quick breath of relief after returning unscathed with the Latin Tour) finally completed his three-

Fiction, in print format, continued to be highly popular and the Library was booked weekly by English, Chinese and French reading classes. Outside class the Library was filled with boys undertaking research, practising for debates, doing homework, filming, playing chess or simply enjoying some recreational reading. Book Clubs continued to thrive and were a regular lunchtime activity. Following last year’s successful initiative of using the library as a makerspace we offered a variety of activities and we also started up a weekly Drawing and Cartooning Club.

All students from Prep to Year 12 were again actively involved in Physical Education practical classes this year, which remained the largest programme in the school. At any given time there were up to five classes running, with students participating in a range of different sports. Our two dedicated AFL trainees, Kristina DiNatale and Dani Karl, competently supported the seven members of the Senior School Physical Education teaching department.

VCE Physical Education subject enrolments reduced to one class of Year 11 (studying Units 1 and 2) and increased to three classes of Year 12 (studying Units 3 and 4) this year. Our Year 12 students participated in an Enhancement Program that was conducted by Exercise Research Australia. Students interacted with leading Australian sport’s scientists in an elite athlete testing facility. They witnessed the protocols and procedures involved in conducting a VO2 max treadmill test and then discussed topics related to the findings of that test. This program also provided our Year 12 boys with the latest information in Sports Science to enhance their understanding of the key concepts covered in the VCE course.

Science It has been said that science has always been strong at Camberwell Grammar School. Many past students with memories of Science classes since the 1960’s would agree and that statement would likely receive a nod of acceptance. As Isaac Newton once wrote of his predecessors, we “stand on the shoulders of giants”, and recognise the wonderful achievements we have inherited from those who have established a strong academic program for our students. Our teachers continue to work assiduously to promote a challenging and diverse program to inspire the next generation of students. In 2016, we implemented new directions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activities that we believe will further enhance our program. Boys in Year 8 have built a prototype arm to perform a simulated remote operation and developed skills in using woodworking and electric tools to safely design and construct their device. We will be observing the students’ response to this new venture and plan to feature activities such as this throughout the Year 7 to 10 teaching program. Stay tuned for further news. We are delighted to see our top students receive awards in competitions. This year, Ben Chesler (Year 10) and Oliver Papillo (Year 9) were presented with top awards in the ICAS Science competition at a medal ceremony. This continues a welcome trend in recent years for our students. In addition, Terry Yan (Year12) won a prize in the Australian National Chemistry Quiz. Terry Yan and Vincent Chen (Year 12) conducted regular weekly training sessions for keen students involved in the Chemistry and Physics Olympiads. This was well attended and helped the Year 11’s perform remarkably well in the challenging academic competitions. Dr. Anderson has supervised a startup Space Club that spontaneously began, following the return to Australia for Space Camp ’15 boys.

generation of Space Camp participants leaving in 2017. Next year will see the introduction of the new VCE courses in biology, chemistry and physics at Year 12. This year our students have prepared for this transition and we hope they will rise to the challenges, including the introduction of a poster as a new SAC assessment task. Studies have found that the vast proportion of students select their VCE courses based on their recent experiences with teachers in the classroom. We are fortunate to have dedicated teachers who are engaging our students and encouraging each of them to consider taking science at senior levels. For parents of scienceminded boys, I suggest you complement the studies of your sons by taking them to museums and other places of interest. These experiences foster interest and will keep alight that spark of interest to encourage them in the sciences. Mr Gordon Wilson Head of Science

Junior School

Junior School Report Not only has it been a privilege to witness the engagement and industry of the Junior School classrooms where the boys have embraced the ‘work’ with determination and commitment, it has also been a treat to see the boys play with imagination and joyful energy. Both ‘work’ and ‘play’ have vitally important roles to play in our boys’ development. Getting the balance right is key to ensuring that the value of both can be fully realised. In his book Play, Stuart Brown, M.D, makes the case that it is essential that we provide regular opportunities and situations for play. “Researchers from every point of the scientific compass now know that play is a profound biological process that evolved in many animal species to promote survival. It shapes the brain and makes animals smarter and more adaptable. In higher animals, it fosters empathy and makes possible complex social groups. The ability to play is critical to not only being happy, but also to sustaining social relationships and being a creative, innovative person.” There is much to support the adage, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’ Our Junior School production, The Road to Rio… Are We There Yet?, captured the significance of being prepared to work hard for things that are important, while at the same time playing fair, working with others and having fun. We value things more that we have earned through commitment, effort and perseverance, and we stand to gain enormously from the imagination, recreation, experimenting, adventure and collaboration of play. We want our boys to work hard and play well. The 2016 year has been rich and diverse in the learning experiences enjoyed by the boys. Learning has not been confined to the classrooms. Each boy will have his own particular memories and highlights. Among these memories may be their class camp; the concerts, soirées and performances; Health Day; Maths Day; Science Day; the Life Education program; the sports days; the projects and presentations; excursions and incursions; Open Day; assemblies and Book Week, or some other special activity or experience.

We welcomed Ms Octavia Rae as Head of Learning Support in Junior School, and in the latter part of the year we welcomed Mr Brendon Peisley and Mr Andrew Crosby as Year 4 teachers. At the conclusion of this year, we will bid farewell to a splendid group of fifth grade boys, thank them for their contribution to the Junior School, and wish them well in their next stage of schooling. They are ready for it – keen to be at that next place, but with many fond memories of the Junior School they are leaving. That is how it should be. Throughout the year the Junior School has received tremendous support from its parent community. The Friends of Norge have once again been astonishing in all they have done to build community and provide support and care. Our convenors, Jenny Thurlby, Ivy Lun and Roula Andreopoulos, had very generous and enthusiastic support from fellow parents resulting in very successful and enjoyable events such as Mums and Muffins, Father’s Day Breakfast, Open Day and Footy Day. Additionally, parents provided valuable assistance in the library, classrooms and excursions, all contributing to making our school a better and more interesting place.

The Three Little Pigs

Sandpit

Creek

They built a house, and two of them got blown down by a big bad wolf. They went over to the last pig’s house and the wolf tried to blow it down but he couldn’t. He climbed on the roof, down the chimney and into a pot of hot water. The wolf ran away. We put on hats and we told the story.

We make mountains and buildings, and homes. We dig big holes and we use the pipes for making fences. The arches make bridges and the planks make the roads.

First we wear gumboots and then we use the spades to dig and mix the water. We move the rocks and we wait for the water to go down the slope. We get to pump the water and it goes down the bottom into the creek.

Playground Projects

We made our playgrounds at home using the materials we collected from the Reverse Art Truck. We designed our playgrounds at school. We had to label our designs. We In Science we learned about states of matter chose the materials we were going to use and worked on a Matter Book. We did lots for our playgrounds and we made them by of drawings of gases, solids and liquids. We ourselves. Our playgrounds had a maximum learned that liquids do not hold their shape. of twenty-one pieces. Solids hold their shape even when they Luca Sanfilippo and Roy Legge break. Gas is basically steam.

Science Day In the Year 1 classroom on Science Day we were seeing if we could be an astronaut. We needed to do lots of activities with gloves, boots and jackets. After that we made bridges for three billy goats from the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We used toilet rolls, popsicle sticks and more. It was so much fun! Jeremy Chen-Tilley and Liam Marcus

Book Week Book Week was very fun. Everyone made a bookmark. When we went to the library we saw the author Lee Fox. She showed us the books that she had written and she told us how she wrote them. Aiden Tang and Felix Smith

Eureka Tower Excursion On the bus we saw the railway. When we got off the bus we saw the MCG and the Eureka Tower. The Eureka Tower looked like a towering mountain, we felt like we were ants! The lift was really fast! When we went to the sky deck, we saw tons of buildings and the people looked like ants! We saw the Yarra River and boats. Our excursion was really fun! Lucas Andreopoulos and Samuel Page

Are We There Yet? An Author Study on Alison Lester We went around Australia by reading the book Are We There Yet?. We started by picking our family and designing and packing our caravans. At Streaky Bay we stuck our heads in the mouth of a great white shark. We learned that Uluru is the heart of Australia. A huge red heart right in the middle. Sammy Ramsay and Alexander Kanarev

Our Year 5B Buddies We love playing games with our buddies. We love writing with our buddies. We play all sorts of games and we draw pictures. They are the best! We have fun. They are very tall. We work with our buddies on Fridays. Kamran Vohra and Nathan Chiu

Balloon Science Experiments Ms Blajer filled the balloons with air, ice and water. Then we walked up to the bricks. We threw the balloons. The air filled balloons didn’t go far. The ice filled ones went far and the water filled ones went far too. Thomas Newman-Thurlby and Thomas Torre

Reverse Art Truck Excursion The Reverse Art Truck excursion was amazing. You could take any material. There were too many to pick from. They came in different shapes and sizes. The Year 1s split in different groups. Each group had an adult. We went to the Reverse Art Truck to create our playgrounds. Tobias Wu and Thomas Pritchett

Year 2 Junior School

Everyone likes the computer lab because we get to do fun things. One of our favourites was making Super Bugs. We combined body parts and then we chose a super power and we printed it out. We also typed up Fairy Tales and Diary of a Chick. Daniel Strong, Isaac Chen and Maxwell Chao-Hong In Term 2 we worked on a Bug Quiz Book project and Super Bug models. We made bug models with foam boxes, pipe cleaners, cardboard, googly eyes, playdough, tooth picks, wings with wire and stockings. Some life cycles have 3 stages or 4. Joseph Ni and Jason Xu In Term 2 the Junior School did a musical called The Road to Rio. We dressed as Russian Gymnasts and did a dance routine to music. We used hoola hoops with bright coloured lights that looked great on stage in the dark. It was so much fun.

In Term 2 we got silkworm eggs. It took a long time for them to hatch into silkworms. The life cycle was very interesting. The silkworms were white and very small. The cocoons were yellow. Then they hatched into a moth that couldn’t fly. Mark Wu and Caleb Jack We went to the IMAX theatre and Melbourne Museum because we were learning about Life Cycles. The movie we watched was Flight of the Butterflies. The butterflies migrated to Mexico. We saw spiders and insects at the Museum. Hamish Mitchell and Harish R-Roshan

Alex Tahn In Term 1 we went to Ricketts Point. Everyone was excited. First we went on a treasure hunt. We found a feather, seaweed and shells. We did some rock pooling and we found limpet shells, crabs and a sea star. It was a great day.

We had Little Wood Workers come because Evan Cooke and Augustine Tan we were learning about olden day toys. We got to make a wooden aeroplane. We put the wings and propeller on with the drill. William Kemp and Ashton Semczyszyn In Maths we learnt a lot about fractions. One over two is a half and lots more. If you bought a ten slice pizza and you ate three slices then that’s three tenths. We like to draw diagrams and charts when problem solving.

Louis Zhang, Christian Pham and Toan Le and Victor Zhuang William Karunaratne

The Yarrabee excursion was a great experience. We wrote on a slate board with a slate pen. There were a lot of punishments like ‘6 of the best’, dunce hat, putting your nose on a board for an hour and putting your hand on your head and holding your tongue. Also instead of the National Anthem we sang God Save the King.

House Events House Cross Country was great. Everyone was puffed after a hard 2km. Our winners this year were: Harry Rizza in first place, Ross Armstrong in second place and Rick Liu in third place. House Swimming was lots of fun and the Year 3s improved their swimming enormously! Rick Liu

In Term 2 we learned about community diversity. We learned about where our families came from and some of the reasons people have to migrate, for example, to start a new life. Tommy Ramsay and Thomas Nania In Term 3 we learnt about ‘Our Changing Community’. We went to Canterbury Gardens and learnt about our local area. We drank homemade lemonade like people in the past and learnt about Ernest Carter who owned most of Canterbury in the 1880s. Lucas Yip and Nicholas Teoh

Music In Year 3 we start the Strings Program which is when we can choose to start either cello, piano, viola and violin. If we choose to move on we can start private lessons. After at least a term, we are able to join either Bass Clef Band or String Ensemble. The Year 2s and 3s also sing together in a super choir which performs in assemblies and concerts. Christopher Khong and Ross Armstrong Recorder Ensemble was a great way for the Year 3 students to learn music. Rick Liu, Ethan Lau, Alex Dai, Hamish Wishart and Austin Dai, learnt a lot. Our performance in ‘Poco di Musica’ was really successful. Rick Liu Many boys in Year 3 have performed in the Soirées this year in front of large audiences. Some played in ensembles and others played solo, most were accompanied by teachers. The boys were persistent and practised extremely hard until they reached perfection. Nicholas Lysikatos and Angus Rynne

Integrated Studies In Term 1, we studied ‘Feathers, Fur or Leaves?’. We learnt how to classify animals. We picked up leaf litter and classified the creatures we found living in it. Charlie Adams and Jonathan Chong

Billy Cart Application Dear Mr Crosby and Mr Peisley,

and I’m good at using lots of different tools like screwdrivers. For example, I have helped my dad fix a gate and build a bunk bed. Secondly, I think I would be great at being the Manager. This is because I can make good decisions and direct people to do the right things.

I’m really excited about building a billy cart this term. My first choice for a team role would be the Mechanic, my second choice would be the Manager and my third choice would be the Assistant Manager.

Thirdly, I think I would be amazing at being the Assistant Manager because I am willing to help out many people and I am kind. I am always willing to help out.

Firstly, I think I would be best at being the Mechanic because I have helped build a shelf

In conclusion, I know I would make the best mechanic and would not let my team down if you gave me one of these roles to do. Christian Evans

Biography of an Explorer Christopher Columbus was an Italian-born navigator and worked aboard various ships (including one as a pirate). He was born in the port city of Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Columbus is very commonly known as the ‘Discoverer of the New World’, the world we now call America. He was not intending to venture to the Americas, he was trying to get to Asia by going West. Tales from Marco Polo told of golden temples and great riches in Cathay and Cipango (Japan). In fact, Columbus was not the first to arrive in America. Undoubtedly, fishing boats from Portugal and England landed in Newfoundland and Labrador long before he did. Viking Leif Erikson also landed in America a very long time before Columbus. Adrian Chiu

Year 4 Camp After a 45-minute bus trip, we arrived at Coastal Forest Lodge and we met Iona, the keeper of the camp. She told us the rules of camp and finally assigned us to our cabins. I was assigned to Cabin 4 with Max A, Fredrick, Michael and Matthew T. Our cabin was called Atlanta. I felt so happy to be finally at camp. After a dinner of roast beef, 4A went yabbying. At the start, William Lardner and I had caught a big one but it backfired on us. We then caught a little one. William tried to pick it up but it slipped out of his hands. At last, we got to inspect all of the big ones in the bucket. I saw a yabby pulling another one into the water. After that, we got back to the camp, brushed our teeth, changed into our PJs and joined 4B in singing. We then had to go to sleep, but I just couldn’t because I was still so excited. Finally, I drifted off. Nathan Chan

Year 4 Year 4 Camp HEADING OFF

Junior School

I was sweating already as I struggled up to the bus with my bags. “Did mum pack bricks instead of clothes?” I wondered.” “Ahhh, Marcus, you look like you have a spare hand, maybe you can help him with his bag,” Mr Davis said, pointing to a boy with a bag twice as big as mine. It felt like another truckload of bricks, but I didn’t mind, really I was just so excited that we were headed to camp and that I would get to know the new boys. THE BEACH After two hours of driving, we made it to the beach. After putting on our rash vests and sunscreen, the surf life savers directed us to our rotations. My first activity was saving people with random objects. We were split into two groups. Some of us had to go out into the ocean to pretend to drown, while the others had to save us with things like bicycle helmets and cricket bats. Later we tried nipper boarding and boogie boarding. They were my favourite activities, even though I felt like I nearly drowned when the wave hit me. CANOEING The next day, we went canoeing along the muddy estuary. Zac and I chose a blue canoe because it looked like it would go fast. After being pushed into the water and travelling quickly to the first meeting place, we played a game of ‘keeping off’ between the 12 canoes using a small ball. The blues and greens were pitted against the yellows and reds. After a lot of racing, splashing, flicking and throwing, it was hard to tell who won the game. Either way, it was a blast. We were sure we’d be the fastest to return to shore, but even with a huge head start, we looked back to see Mrs A and Georgio gaining on us. The race was ON and they were ganging up on us. “GOOOO!!!” I shouted to Zac. “GOOOOO!!!!” Georgio yelled to Mrs A. Even though we paddled our hardest, they passed us just as we crossed the finish line. YABBYING I was waiting. That was the only thing I could do. Bait the line, and wait for a yabby to bite. I pulled the line in for the fifth time, but still… nothing. I threw the line again, casually looking up at the summer sky. As I sighed, I felt a tug!! Slowly, slowly, I began pulling in the line. Eagerly, I reached out and caught it! Sadly, it was just a baby. Disappointed, Freddie and I decided to throw him back. But the next bite, WOW! Out came a big blue one! Now, 42

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

I was feeling luck! After we dropped him in the bucket, we baited our line again. This time, catching three in one go! I couldn’t believe it. My luck had turned and it wound up being the best part of camp! Frederick Hughes, Nat Navaneetharaja and Marcus Saw

Diary of a Cabin Boy I was woken up this morning by one of the crew. I bumped my head on the bottom of the captain’s bunk. That woke me up for sure. I jumped up, rubbing my head and quickly raced to the corner where I put on my stinking clothes and then got the captain’s hot drink ready. I raced back into the bedroom holding the burning cup in my hands. When the captain woke up and saw me huffing and puffing, he bellowed at me, “You should have been up hours ago!” That was just the start of another day on board. The rest was filled, as usual, with hours of back-breaking labour, like cleaning the poop rope, scrubbing the deck and eating food filled with grubs. I am relieved to now be back in bed, ready for sleep and thinking of home. Elias Zakkas

I heard my name chanted over and over from the stands. As Samuel Chan the commentators called out our names, we lined up at the blocks ready for the starting gun. I thought of my family in the stands watching and counting on me. Set! Bang! All I could hear was the voice in my head repeating, “Speed! Speed! Speed!” I looked up to find I was in second place with Bolt in front of me. I knew I could not catch him. As I crossed the finish line, I felt proud of what I had done. Now, I look forward to four years ahead when hopefully…I will come first. William Linehan

Straight after we arrived, we got introduced to an activity called the Great Australian Race. We ran around the camp area with a giant flag, a map and a bucket, searching for things like Cinderella’s shoes, pine cones and wigs, also trying to make a joke that a camp person didn’t know the answer to. The team with the most stuff won.

So everyone knows Snakes and Ladders right? Well, here we were thinking we did as well. That was until we were employed by Mattel to create a NEW version! The problem was, it had to have an average of exactly 17 rolls before a winner was decided. How are we going to do that?

When we got to Lady Northcote Camp, the Year 5s split to their different groups!

Buddies Every student in Year 5A has a Prep buddy that they have to take care of. The Buddy program started in Term 1. We have buddy sessions every Tuesday and usually we do really fun activities like ball skills, paper airplane competitions, paper star making and creating posters. Our favourite activity with our buddies was when we went to the Melbourne Zoo. Most of the buddies wanted to see the tigers and the lions. It’s sometimes really hard to communicate with our buddies because they don’t understand us. Sometimes we get to have lunch with our buddies. We love spending time with them and will definitely miss them once we move into Middle School. Liam Guo and Nicholas Shim

Science Talent Search Competition The Science Talent Search was a statewide science competition with many kids participating in it. The theme was Drones, Droids and Robots! All boys in Year 5 entered the competition and after the teachers looked at all the posters, models and other items of presentation, 25 made it to the next round. It was extraordinarily busy at the judging venue. Cars were parked up and down the streets. A long queue awaited all of the participants with even a longer wait time. When the participants got called in, they went up the staircase, and got greeted by a woman who sent children in different directions. Some judges looked mean and harsh while others looked friendly, bearing a grin. Nervous children walked up to the tables presenting their entry item. Certificates were presented at school to the 25 boys who had attended the round. Most of the boys received Merit awards, some got minor bursaries and two had major bursaries.

Sizzling Starts - The Seats Are Alive! The white plane lurched. A moment later, hundreds of shrieks pierced the air. Startled, I snapped out of my sleep. Without warning, a needle-like object pierced my rear end. Straightaway, I leapt out of my seat just as it slammed shut inches behind my behind. Others weren’t so lucky. The monster furniture slammed with the force of an alligator right on their rears, showing no mercy. I’m now glad I never buckle my seatbelt. Alexander Lau

Snapshot Writing Sample A white-coated bear with dull orange fur along its spine stands on a rock in the middle of a fast-flowing stream. The only noise is water flowing over smooth lichen-covered dark ancient rock in the serene forest. The river has streaks of sea green showing through its white foam and almost glows. The cool air smells fresh from recent rain. The bear’s deep black eyes show peace and deep thought. I depart respectfully. Douglas Joshi

5B Buddies Report In Year 5 we were all given Year 1 buddies. Being a buddy means lots of work and concentration. We took our jobs very seriously. We helped our buddies with their weekly spelling focus. We played board games and even mapped our way to school when our younger buddies were studying maps.

lots of time on their projects and made them look outstanding. Everyone in Year 5 enjoyed this project! Aydan Yim

Rabbit Proof Fence Rabbit Proof Fence is based on a true story of three girls being taken by Europeans who had a settlement on Australia. They were forced to go to school and learn English and be religious. They escaped back home by walking an astonishing 1,600 kilometers, following the rabbit proof fence that was built in Western Australia. This story taught us a lot about the stolen generation and how the Indigenous Australians were treated during the colonisation of this land. It also reminded us of the power of the human spirit and the bond of family.

The sound of the music rang off the walls. Everyone had been practicing for months. Finally the time had come and the hard work had paid off. The sound of the instruments silenced the chattering crowd. It was a spectacle like no other. Boys from the Samuel Choong, Yang Mu and Max Vargo Junior School will remember this day for the rest of their lives. Not just anybody gets to perform at Hamer Hall! Murrundindi, who called himself the ‘King of Cooper Lewis and Alexander Nielsen Victoria’ is an Aboriginal elder. He can speak Aboriginal and English. He is the leader of the Wurundjeri people. He calls everyone ‘brother’ or ‘sister’. He said this was so he only ever had In Term 3, Year 5 had a major project to remember 2 names, but we knew there where we had to do a biographical poster was more to it than that. He taught us a lot on a chosen influential leader in Australia’s about his life growing up and about history. Boys chose influential figures like the Indigenous way of life. He John Batman, Ned Kelly, Charles La Trobe, was very wise and kind. Sir Douglas Mawson, Peter Lalor, William Barak and Sir Redmond Barry, just to name Samuel Choong, Yang a few. All of the 5B and 5A boys had spent Mu and Max Vargo

Road to Rio The crowd erupted in applause as the lights slowly dimmed. The audience held their breath; they were about to witness the greatest performance of the year! Road to Rio was a huge experience for all, where every student got to participate. Murrundindi from the Wurundjeri people was a special guest who played a part in Road to Rio. Each class was given a country to act as in their training camps. Year 5B was USA, and 5A was South Africa. James Ciro and Joshua Hui

The Race for Space In Term 3 we looked to the stars and learnt about Yuri Gagarin, The Apollo missions and much more. We watched a documentary and listened to an album of cool music called ‘The Race for Space’ by a band called Public Service Broadcasting. Tin Lok Zhang, Shourodip Pal and Oscar Smith

Library Junior School

The Herborn Library has been a productive and energetic arena in 2016. Included in this article is a sampling of the many experiences and changes initiated this year.

Human Books A new event starting this year during Book Week was Human Book borrowing. We asked the staff to make themselves available to be borrowed by a student. Students had the individual attention of their ‘human book’ while the book told their story. Our Junior School staff embraced this event and came well prepared with amazing stories and treasured items from their childhood, hair-raising and adventurous tales as well as experiences from their lives before CGS. It was a great success and will definitely be repeated.

At the beginning of this year we moved to a simplified, subject-based catalogue of the Non-Fiction area. The change has made our NF more user friendly and assists the boys to be more independent borrowers. New signage makes this area much more accessible and functional, especially for our younger students.

Reflections

Flynn Helmer Year 5

Another first for this year was Storytime with Grandparents. We invited our school community Grandparents to visit during lunchtimes throughout the year to read to the boys. We were pleasantly surprised at how many boys of all ages were keen to sit and listen to stories read by an older generation from diverse backgrounds with a multitude of experiences to draw upon when conversing with our boys.

Lego Table

Denton Chan Year 5

The very clever members of our maintenance department custom built a beautiful new Lego table for us early in the year. Hours of fun have already been had and we look forward to having this featured in the centre of the library for many years to come.

Since I came to school in Pre-Prep, the library has transformed in all different ways. During my Prep year the library changed completely with paintings on every wall. Now I’m graduating from Junior School, I’m going to miss out on all the fun in the Library. Alex Dai Year 5

My favourite thing about the library lessons is the Reading Adventure activities. I also thought that everybody loved the Book Week Parade. People who come to the The library is a nice place to be. It has books school next year will get to enjoy activities of all different types from adventure to poems. like Make it @ the Library and Reading It also has board games, a chess table and Adventure. I loved my time in the Junior 125 hidden fish to find. There are many School Library. different places to sit down and relax in the library, including a swinging chair and bean Harry Watson bags. The library is a really wonderful place. Year 5

I have countless memories of the library. The best book series lay on the many shelves. When you step in, your eyes alight on a thousand books or more. Books about mythology, history and arts and crafts. That is only a tiny part of what the school library is about. So come on in, pick a book and allow it to take you to someplace amazing.

Middle School Report Middle School

I was speaking to a group of Year 7 boys on the way to our end-of-term Church service on the second last day of Term 3. The boys were in high spirits on what was a glorious Spring morning as they discussed the upcoming holidays. One of the boys commented on how quickly the term had gone, and his friend observed that time always flies when you are busy. This led the boys to reflect on their past few weeks. All in the group had performed in the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall earlier in the term and several had been in the Middle School Play, The Tempest. Most in the group had been involved in the DAV debating season and several had represented CGS in athletics and water polo throughout Term 3. Two of the boys were excited about the grand final of the annual Street Soccer competition, which was being played that very lunchtime against a rival Year 8 team. One of the boys then said that his personal highlight was completing his remote control car project in Science and Art. All of the activities discussed by the boys had occurred in a matter of only a few weeks! There is a growing emphasis on schools equipping young people with the necessary skills to thrive in the 21st century workplace.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

It is through exposing the boys to so many varied opportunities that we help to foster these skills. Students leaving secondary school can no longer think that a high ATAR score will guarantee success, as future employers are looking for young people with a range of skills and interests, which makes it more important than ever that students make the most of their opportunities at school by getting involved in a range of activities. Middle School is a vibrant and energised community and it is a privilege to work with such an outstanding group of young men. Their positive enthusiasm is infectious and their good-natured support of each other is a pleasure to witness. I would like to thank all of our wonderful Middle School staff, particularly our Form Teachers, who work incredibly hard for the young men under their charge. I thank Mr Scott Wyatt, the Deputy Head of Middle School, for his tireless efforts and thanks to Mrs Justine Elliott, our Middle School Office Coordinator for her great work keeping the Middle School Office, an often frantic place, afloat and thriving on a daily basis. Mr Rob French Head of Middle School

Year 6

Poetry One of the many things we did in Year 6 was poetry. We used normal poetry and Kinetic poetry. Our favourite type was the classic/ normal type of poetry. We had four weeks to complete two poems and you could do an extra poem if you wanted to. We personally love poetry because it is a way to express yourself in any way you want. For our poems, references like time is a tree and moments are flowers were used. Here is a snippet from one of our poems: Time is like a tree twisting Turning and growing Sprouting left, right, up, down, In every way you can imagine Holding leaves as memories Flowers as moments Leaves last for a while but flowers, moments A short period of pure beauty Then there are fruit, seeds as the future Untold and unspoken, dormant Waiting to tell their stories To have their time James Eastwood and Maxwell Boyle

Parliament House and the Old Treasury Building Excursion We arrived at Parliament House at approximately 9.30am. We went through security and put away our bags. We were led through the halls of Parliament House. Our tour guide, led us through to the Legislative Assembly’s chamber, where he gave us a detailed presentation about Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. Afterwards, we were assigned seats and jobs in the Legislative Assembly and did a role play about passing a Bill that made it compulsory to wear seatbelts in cars. A Bill is a proposed law that is yet to be passed and become an actual law. After the role play the tour guide led us to the Legislative Council’s chamber and gave us a small talk about the Legislative Council. Later, we were led to the Old Treasury Building museum and split into two groups, each with a different tour guide. The first thing that my group saw was the inside of one of the old vaults. In one vault, under the floor, were fake gold bars. Apparently, some of them had been stolen!! Afterwards, the

tour guide took us to a vault which had a 360 degree picture of Melbourne from the Old Treasury Building in the 1900s. The tour guide then took us through to the original residence of the caretaker and his family. They had butter churners, a small bath, a gas pipe and meter, a few beds, a desk and a few other things. After that, the tour guide took us to the Executive Council Chamber and we were given a talk about what Victoria’s Governor and the Executive Council did. Sadly, after that, our tour ended and we had to go home. However, we all learnt a lot about Australia’s history and also a bit about politics. Benjamin Price

Art Excursion During the course of Year 6 Art we studied the depths of painting with texture and impressionism. We began a challenging project of animal painting. To support our ideas and knowledge, Mr Boyd and Mr Williamson organised a detailed excursion to the Edgar Degas exhibition at the Melbourne Art Gallery. Edgar Degas was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance, and more than half of his works depict dancers. Edgar Degas is one of the most celebrated artists associated with French Impressionism. The art he made

Middle School

Science In Term 1 we focused on general chemistry skills. We learnt how to be safe in the lab, how to draw scientific diagrams and we also learnt how to use a Bunsen burner. We performed a few experiments involving Bunsen burners such as burning different metals in liquid form to change the colour of the flame. We also did a few experiments on water temperatures and changing the state of ice and water. reflects more than fifty years of constant creativity and renewal. It embraces painting, drawing, printmaking, monotypes, sculpture and photography, and has had a large impact on modern and contemporary art. Soon after the exhibition, we visited another gallery for a presentation introducing Edgar Degas’ life. The presentation explained the troubles and achievements of Degas and the stages he went through. Although he had some major flaws that affected others’ lives, he was a great contributor towards modern art. As we returned to school, our minds were full of plans and designs for our own paintings. We all completed an amazing and exquisite piece of artwork of our selected animals in our own style. Degas has largely influenced our knowledge towards art.

Geography In Geography class, we have been studying the features of the world, like Australia, the Kokoda Track and South-East Asia. In Term 1, our first project was to decorate and add features to a blank map of Australia, adding details like mountains, cities and lakes. Three weeks later we had a geography test, which tested our ability to read maps and recognise states in Australia. The topic for Term 2 was learning about the Kokoda track, and why it is important to Australian history. We wrote a journal of walking on the Kokoda track, which included information about flying to Port Moresby and crossing dangerous bridges. There was also an excursion to the Thousand Steps, to commemorate the soldiers that were lost in the fighting. At the end of Term 2, we had a test on the Kokoda track and how places are connected. At the start of Term 3, we started our third project about a South-East Asian country we could pick. As usual, we had a test on those Asian countries and how Australia is connected to them. Then in Term 4 we studied natural disasters and their effects on a region.

Oliver Liu

During Term 2 we learnt about series and parallel circuits, components of a circuit, which metals conduct electricity and we also learnt about reflection and light. We created our own circuits and experimented with light boxes with mirrors and different coloured light. We used coloured plates with the light box and we experimented with mixing colours. Term 3 science was very interesting. We studied microscopy. We used microscopes to look at tiny things. Cells were one of our focuses this term. We looked at plant and animal cells and what made up cells. Cells were really cool close up and we learnt the history of them and microscopes. In Term 4 we started our lightsabre projects. We used circuit boards and wires and learnt how to solder. It was awesome once they were done! This term was packed with lots of cool projects. Year 6 science has definitely been really fun and interesting this year! Samuel Betts

Sustainability Week On the ninth week of Term 2, Year 6 students took a break from the normal, busy classes and participated in a week filled with fun and exciting activities. The week was named ‘Sustainability Week’ because the core focus of the week was about how we can help keep the environment clean and tidy. The main focus of the week was the construction of our ‘Eco-Houses’. The Eco-House project was designed to teach us about what made a house eco-friendly.

54 rammarian | The2015 Camberwell Grammarian 2016

Besides from being introduced to the EcoHouse project, another event that happened on the first day of the week was that the Gould League taught us about two unique topics, ‘3Rs and Composting’ and ‘Exploring Ecosystems’. In ‘3Rs and Composting’, a large pile of different types of trash was placed in front of us and we were asked to sort the garbage into different labelled bins as fast as we could. The third day of sustainability week was definitely a highlight of the week. We took an excursion to the Melbourne Zoo. The Year 6 students also participated in a zoo

programme called the ‘Save Our Species Challenge’ (SOS). For the SOS Challenge we were presented with ten different animals. The animal exhibits were around the zoo. On the Friday of Sustainability Week, we held a year level debate about certain environmental topics. It was a very fun activity and helped improve our public speaking skills. After our debate, we then had an Eco-House presentation where everybody presented their Eco-Houses. I really enjoyed the week and I am sure that many of the Year 6 students did too. Shane Gan

Highlights Fundraising

There was great excitement once again when over 400 Year 8 students descended on the Performing Arts Centre in October for the Year 8 Social. Our boys proved to be excellent hosts to the girls from Fintona, PLC and Camberwell Girls and it was an outstanding night. Such classics as ‘The Nutbush’ and ‘Time Warp’ ensured that the dance floor was the place to be. Well done to Mr Joe Tierney, Ms Katrina Massy, Ms Victoria Papaouannou and the organising committee, who did a great job ensuring that the PAC looked brilliant on the night.

Once again Middle School boys excelled in their fundraising efforts. As well as joining Senior School students in supporting several initiatives, this year in Middle School we chose to raise money for the Maddie Riewodlt Foundation. Maddie’s brother is St Kilda champion Nick and her cousin in Tiger forward Jack. The foundation was set up following the death of Maddie at the hands of bone marrow failure. This year all money raised through our Street Soccer competition and sausage sizzle went towards this outstanding organisation, that is working hard to raise money and awareness of bone marrow failure syndromes.

Projec10 was back again in 2016 and once again the fundraising efforts were magnificent. This is specifically a Year 8 initiative and once again we were joined by students from Fintona, PLC and Camberwell Girls. Students are divided into mixed teams and challenged to come up with their own initiatives to raise money for the Youth Apprenticeship Program in Ghana. In total over $12,000 was raised for this wonderful international cause.

Year 8 Social

In Term 4 we hit the local pavements and walking tracks for our annual Run/Walk for Koala Kids, a Melbourne based organisation that was set up to support young people who are affected by cancer. This is our fourth year supporting this cause and once again, the boys took to both the activity and subsequent raising of money with admirable enthusiasm.

Highlights Entrepreneurship

Middle School

Several experts are now viewing skills in entrepreneurship as essential in the 21st century workforce. Organisations such as the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) are actively promoting courses in entrepreneurship to be delivered at schools. This year the FYA partnered with the National Australia Bank to launch the $20 Boss program. This program sees students being given $20 startup money, which they are to use in order to launch their own money-making business, with all proceeds going to charity. The FYA has also put together a series of modules that students undertaking the program work through. Modules include sessions on launching an idea, organising finances and marketing an idea. We felt that our existing Friday Activities program provided the perfect setting for this initiative and nineteen enthusiastic students from Years 6, 7 and 8 threw themselves into the program in Term 3. Several highly successful businesses were launched, with food stalls, dog walking and a home-made honeycomb store proving to be popular.

Year 7 Civics and Citizenship Week On Monday 6 June, all of the Year 7 classes embarked on a journey full of exciting excursions as part of Civics and Citizenship week. This week was designed to provide learning opportunities beyond the classroom and to discover more about Melbourne. Students visited the Victorian Parliament, Melbourne’s CBD, the inner suburbs and Parks and Gardens including the Royal Botanic Gardens. The week also provided us with a chance to find certain landmarks around the CBD and navigate public transport. On certain days, classes were able to plan their own activities which was a highlight for us. Popular choices included Laser Tag, arcade games and a visit to the food court. Overall, the excursions provided enjoyable experiences for all Year 7 students because we learned a lot, got to enjoy time with our friends and received no homework for a whole week. Nicholas Taranto Year 7

Year 8 Indigenous Studies Week In Week 8 of Term 3, Year 8 students were privileged enough to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - being fully immersed into Indigenous Australian culture. The week included art, music and a time to really learn about what life was like before European settlement, and how that way of life and culture was affected by settlement. Highlights included painting Aboriginal artworks, seeing famous indigenous didgeridoo player Ron Murray, taking part in Australian cellist Sarah Hopkins’ ‘Reconciliation Circle’, the excursion to the Koorie Heritage Trust and Botanical Gardens, and students were even given the chance to make (and test) their very own boomerangs!

Beyond the Classroom Middle School

Middle School Friday Activities During Terms 2 and 3, Middle School students all participated in the Friday Activities Program and Year 8 students undertook a term of Outdoor Activities. Friday Activities and Outdoor Activities endeavour to engage boys in a diverse range of activities that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to try. Activity options in the Outdoor Activities Program take place in outdoor environments around metropolitan Melbourne and provide opportunities for students to try activities they may encounter on Outdoor Education camps. They also expose them to outdoor recreation activities that are easy to access in the local area. In 2016 students had a wide range of activities to choose from including; white water kayaking, cycling, sailing, taekwondo, golf, chess, rowing, fencing and music composition. Both programs are an important part of Middle School as they provide opportunities for students to mix with their peers from different class groups and years levels. Many keenly await the release of activity options each term and much thought goes into selecting the ‘best’ activity. Mrs Kirsty McDougall Director of Co-Curricular Activities

William Angliss Dinner This year’s William Angliss Dinner proved to be a resounding success, with over 80 Middle School parents attending the evening. Guest speaker Mr Hugh Van Cuylenburg, founder of The Resilience Project, provided parents with valuable insights into young people, mental health issues and resilience. Hugh’s time in an impoverished community in India sparked

his interest in resilience and upon his arrival back in Australia he developed a series of resilience programs for young people and adults. Hugh currently works in several schools across Victoria, as well as several AFL and NRL clubs.

Five-a-Side Street Soccer In what is becoming an annual feature of Term 3, our Street Soccer tournament was once again a resounding success. Attracting teams from across all year levels in Middle School, the lunchtime tournament has once again proven to be a great spectacle. The tournament culminated in the Grand Final, which was played on the final Thursday of Term 3 in wonderful Spring conditions. Played in great spirit between a Year 8 and Year 7 team, the game was forced into extra time, when a late goal clinched victory for the Year 8 team known as ‘Emirates’. Well done to all boys involved.

Beyond the Classroom Debating

INTER-SCHOOL DEBATING

The DAV Junior Secondary Inter-School Debating Competition, hosted by CGS for the third year running, was a tremendous The Year 8 Inter-form Debating season success. Record student participation once again proved to be a very successful, rates made for a very popular and exciting enjoyable and enriching experience for all competition. Year 7 and 8 boys worked involved. Debating is an immensely rich teaching and learning activity, which not only co-operatively in teams to research topics, prepare arguments and counter-arguments builds students’ confidence and improves and to hone their rhetorical skills. The initial public speaking skills, but also provides session was a training night, led by DAV an opportunity to develop teamwork and trainers, to impart knowledge about debating research capabilities.

Senior School Report We hear much about students needing to develop 21st century skills – critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity; being globally aware; and having highly developed social and emotional competencies to navigate the complex life and work environments which lie ahead for them. So what does this look like in work and play at school.

Language School, Xianlin, China; St Edward High School, USA; or to our newest relationship with the Lycée Assomption Bellevue in France. The September holiday period saw students and staff head to Italy and Croatia for the biennial Latin Tour and in December another group headed off to the USA on a Basketball Tour. While there were plenty of international adventures, the boys certainly did not have to travel so far to experience something new, with students visiting Canberra for the National Constitutional Convention; heading off in a myriad of directions across the country, as Year 9 students undertook their adventure camp of choice; exploring the world of work as Year 10 students considered their future with work experience placements; or simply stepping forward to understand the complex nature of coffee making with a day’s barista training, courtesy of Alliance; or heading to Camberwell Girls’ Grammar to help pack birthing kits that were sent to developing countries to help stem maternal and infant mortality rates. Whether the journey was near or far, a few hours or several weeks, each occasion provided our young men the opportunity to grow and learn, to be flexible, to adapt, to initiate, to lead, to respond. Indeed, each experience presented them with an opportunity to step out of their comfort zone, to reflect and learn more about themselves, those with which they engaged, and the wider world around them. And so, as another year draws to an end, I want to acknowledge all those who stepped forward to experience something new this year. Ms Rachael Falloon Deputy Head and Head of Senior School

Valedictory Service

The following is an edited version of the speech given to the Leavers of 2016 by Headmaster Dr Paul Hicks at the Leavers’ Service at St Mark’s Church in October. As I was walking through the Junior School just the other day, one of the Year 1 students approached me and asked if I enjoyed being the ‘boss of the whole school’. Well, I had just been accosted by a couple of Year 12 boys wearing dresses, so I hesitated for a moment, but eventually I told him it was a good job, whereupon he thought, and said: ‘Yeah – you are just like an Emperor!’ Well, I think he has a mistaken understanding of my true powers around the place, but when I think about the democratic battles raging around us at the moment, I am tempted to think that maybe being an Emperor would be a good thing. Democracy seems to be being questioned everywhere at the moment. With the dust of our own indecisive Commonwealth election barely settled, and as we come to terms with the political instability and tedium produced by a razor blade result, our attention has now shifted to the Presidential race in the United States. I must admit that it is with a certain level of disbelief but I watch candidate debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. That a man who is openly racist, sexist, contemptuous and bigoted, is in serious contention one of the most powerful positions in the world (though that it starting to look fairly unlikely) reminds me of the old

adage that democracy is indeed a dangerous system. It is just like the world we heard about in St Paul’s letter to Timothy tonight: a world where, ‘to suit their own desires, [people] gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They … turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.’ It must seem to you as young people about to enter the world that the quality of world leadership at present is somewhat lacking. In these anxious times, it seems that the politics of fear and prejudice has the ascendancy, when what we really need is great diplomacy, great humanity and great wisdom. We need heroes – but we are not getting them in public office. What we really need are people who can ‘keep their head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist’: in other words, people who are prepared to preach truth in the face of lies.

Trumps’ is a politics of lies, fear and anxiety. And, most alarmingly, he doesn’t seem to care that he lies. It is an extreme form of relativism – it doesn’t matter if I don’t speak the truth (the argument goes); it is my truth. If we are to defend ourselves from this kind of relativism, we need to understand what is really going on when someone declares boldly they are entitled to their opinion. I have been reading the essays of a philosophy teacher from Latrobe University recently, named Patrick Stokes, and I find him very accessible and sensible on this sort of thing. He points out that ‘the problem with “I’m entitled to my opinion” is that, all too often, it’s used to shelter beliefs that should have been abandoned.’ We need to recognize that there are different types of opinion, although all opinions contain some degree The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

Valedictory Service

Senior School

of subjectivity and uncertainty. There are opinions about taste and preference and there is really little point arguing about those. As Stokes points out, it would be ‘silly to insist that you’re wrong to think strawberry ice-cream is better than chocolate.’ We are all certainly entitled to that sort of opinion. But there are other types of opinion: views about questions which concern most people such as politics or human values, right through to those which are based in scientific or technical expertise, such as in the law or in medicine. We get into trouble if we consider that the other types of opinion are unarguable in the same way that your opinion about ice cream flavours in unarguable. Not all opinions are equal. Climate change deniers argue that their opinion is as valid as that of thousands of climate scientists who have studied the data extensively. Anti-vaccination campaigners argue that their opinion about the risks of giving children vaccines is as worthy as the opinions of all those doctors who have shown through science that those risks are negligible. But in these cases both sides of the argument are not equal. Sure, everyone is entitled to their opinion in the sense that your entitled to think whatever you like, even if it’s wrong. As Dr Stokes points out, ‘no one can stop you saying that vaccines cause autism, no matter how many times that claim has been disproven.’ But that is a fairly trivial entitlement. The thing is though, that nowadays people argue that their being entitled to an opinion means that their views should be considered as an ‘equal candidate for the truth’ and that simply isn’t so. If I choose to believe that vaccines are linked to autism, even if there is no evidence to suggest so, that does not make it so. And importantly if I succeed in convincing others

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

to believe the same, I put children’s lives at risk. Having the right to hold an opinion does not automatically make your opinion right. Having the right to argue does not guarantee you the right to win it. It takes courage and hard thinking to work through such issues. We are not helped by the media, which thrives on discord and which therefore gives more or less equal space to all sorts of views and opinions which do not deserve it. But if we are not careful we can get sucked into the rhetoric of the demagogue, the perverted reasoning of the bigot, the convoluted self-justification of the extremist. It is my hope that your education at Camberwell Grammar School has given you the thinking skills to see through such attempts at manipulating the public debate, and that hopefully we have given you enough of a social conscience to want to challenge the lies which are presented to you. And it is important that there are people around who are prepared to challenge lies and opinions pretending to be truth – because if no one challenges them, if no one presents an alternative view there is the risk that lies can be accepted as truth, and that prejudice can be justified and bigotry normalised. To fight that needs heroism and I want you to be heroes. But there is another type of heroism that you will need in your lives, and indeed you have already been called on to show this sort of heroism. This is not the heroism of the DC universe, of the flawless Superman, for example. I am thinking more of the sort of Marvel heroism, like a Luke Cage or a Jessica Jones, where heroes may have certain powers but are deeply flawed too. There are lots of inspirational stories about people who have been heroic with a Superman style grand gesture. I could tell you about Louis Slottin, for example, one of the physicists working on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, trying to develop the atom bomb. One day Slottin and his team were trying to nudge pieces of plutonium together in order to create a

critical mass large enough to create a chain reaction. He made an error, however, and moved two pieces too close together and began a reaction too soon, putting everyone in the room at risk of a massive dose of radiation. Without hesitating Slottin reached in and pulled the pieces apart with his bare hands. In doing so he had signed his own death warrant, as he had been exposed to a huge dose of radiation. He calmly turned to his co-workers and asked them to mark exactly where they were so that their exposure could later be mapped and then calmly predicted to them exactly what would happen – he would die and they would survive. His decision to accept responsibility for what had gone wrong he saved the lives of his team at the expense of his own. There is no doubt that that act of selfsacrifice was heroic. But I sometimes think such stories can discourage us as much as inspire – who can hope to live up to that standard of self-sacrifice? Bu there is another kind of heroism needed simply in negotiating life. The sort of heroism which stand up against populist movements and cheap laughs, and which respects and defends those who are different to us and who cannot defend themselves. But it is also the heroism to face the pain sometimes thrown up by living, and to persevere in hope. As a class you have had more that your share of tough times already and had to face realities I wish had been spared you. As you finish school, and make your plans for futures filled with promise, you already have an understanding based on lived experience that life can be tough, and that, as Isaiah reminds us, ‘even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.’ Indeed, you have faced real trauma and grief, and unfathomable tragedy. Some of you are still dealing with the fall out of that, and I wish I was able to take away your pain. You know, because you have already experienced it, that life is filled with good and bad, and that both good and bad happen without fear or favour and without warning. Life is not fair, it just is. When I suggest that living requires heroism, I am not urging you all to be crusaders and right wrongs on a global scale – though of course if you are called to do that, then by all means go ahead, no one will be prouder of you – but I am thinking of a quieter more mundane kind of heroism, the heroism of living your life to the full, of loving those around you with all your heart and doing the best you can in the face of challenge and adversity. Sometimes you will do the absolute best you can and still fail. Sometimes you will study as hard as you can and still be disappointed. Sometimes

Valedictory Service

The thing is, it will not be what you achieve that determines your success in life, or how much money you make, or what job you get or what status you gain. Success, and more importantly, happiness, will depend on how you live your life, on how you use the opportunities that come your way and how you deal with the disappointments you will inevitably face. And my advice for achieving all of that is to be humble, and to care for others more than you care about yourself. You are smart people, but don’t fall into the trap of becoming critics or cynics – people who can point out the flaws in everything but never do anything positive themselves. Such people can never find contentment. In 1910 Theodore Roosevelt gave a talk to a group of academics at the Sorbonne University in Paris. His theme was ‘Citizenship in a Republic’, and he recognised that his audience, like you, were privileged, and blessed in many ways. He also warned them against cynicism, which he described as one of the temptations of the privileged and well trained mind. He warned them about people like Donald Trump, who roundly condemn the status quo without offering any viable alternative. He argued that:

The credit belongs, ‘he argued’, to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. That is the heroism that I encourage you seek. Be a doer rather than a critic, be a fixer rather than a complainer, love one another and build each other up, rather than trying to drag people down. Be brave enough to tackle not just the projects in which you have a high chance of succeeding, but which are important enough to tackle even if you fail. It is so easy to bluff, to proclaim your views loudly and aggressively and to bully your way through your encounters with others in an attempt to get your way. Engage with life, but, as Rebecca Chan urged us so eloquently yesterday, take the time to enjoy the journey and to find your passion and to follow it.

to life – one in which hardship is endured, in which we prepare as best we can for the issues we need to face, fight for the truth and be prepared to call out lies and prejudice, and most importantly to fight the good fight and run the race of life with every ounce of determination, energy and commitment you can muster.

Senior School

you will do nothing wrong, but still not get what you want. That is just the way life is. There will be other times when you may get things you don’t really deserve, and fortune will favour you. That happens too. But good and bad will happen, you will not always see things coming, and it requires a quiet, steady heroism to be a good man, to love and care for those around you and to live your lives in a way which accepts both good and ill.

So this then is my prayer for you: May you go boldly into the world, may you know great enthusiasms and passions, may you have the courage to stand against fear and prejudice, and when you fail, may you fail ‘daring greatly’. May you accept the good fortune which comes your way humbly and continue to persevere when fortune turns against you. May you always believe in truth and in the goodness in the world. May you fight the good fight and run your race, and be the heroes we need, and may you too soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Amen.

St Paul’s letter to Timothy, which we heard this evening, encourages a similar attitude

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Toast to the Leavers

This is an edited speech delivered at the Leavers’ Dinner by Director of Development, Mrs Elizabeth Board. I feel very honoured to be with you tonight – it is a very special privilege to be invited to speak to such a wonderfully supportive group of parents, to colleagues and to our Year 12 leavers – the leaders of our school, and the leaders of our future. I have had lots of advice about preparing my comments to you this evening – make it funny, collect stories and talk about the crazy things these boys have done over the years; keep it academic – there will be educators in the room; or speak about the future and what it might hold.

Leavers – around 1998, when most of you were born, and changed your parents’ lives significantly and forever, a few other interesting things were also happening. • John Howard was Prime Minister of Australia • Bill Clinton was President of the USA • A constitutional convention was held to discuss the issue of Australia becoming a republic • The long running TV show, Seinfeld finished

But the best advice was given to me by someone wise, she told me that a good after dinner speech has a good opening, a warm closing, and not too much in between!

• The search engine Google was founded,

So I’ll try to heed that advice.

In sports,

Tonight I’d like to do two things. Firstly speak a little about the passage of time and speculate on how you might measure your time at CGS, and then, tell you a very short story.

• Australia excelled in the Commonwealth Games

Firstly, time.

• The Adelaide Crows won the AFL Grand Final,

22 years ago I sat where you are tonight parents – though not in such a grand venue. The 1994 leaver’s dinner was held in the Malvern Town Hall, it was catered for by staff and Year 11 boys were the food and drink waiters. It was all over by 9.30pm! The guest speaker was Mr Ian Mason – he spoke briefly and well, and his message was moving from the known to the unknown – a good message, still relevant today. My message is that at every stage of 74

our lives – it’s people that matter.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

• and Steve Jobs at Apple invented the first IMac computer.

• Mark Taylor equalled Don Bradman’s test batting record

• and Robert Harvey of St Kilda won the Brownlow Medal. 1n 1998 Facebook was still six years away, Instagram was 12 years away, and the internet itself was only 7 years old. A great deal has happened in our world in your 17 or 18 years – much of which continues to impact on us today – changes in technology, changes in working lives – jobs have disappeared and new careers

have opened up; wars have started and still rage in many parts of the world, and many, many people all over the world lack the opportunities for equality and freedom that most of us in Australia enjoy. Much has changed in your lives too, beginning with the transition from home to school, and from primary to secondary, and from Middle to Senior school with all the adjustments, challenges and opportunities that these changes have required and offered. Most of you arrived at CGS six years ago – 2011, but it probably seems like only yesterday when you struggled with locks on your lockers, new timetables, heavy sports bags, school bags and musical instruments and many, many new faces. And to your parents it probably seems like only yesterday that you held their hands as they took you to Primary School, and you were prepared to be seen kissing your mother goodbye at the school gate!

Toast to the Leavers

Through all of these changes, I hope that your time at CGS has given you the resilience and strength to continue to manage the positives and negatives that may confront you in the future. And I trust that you will continue to develop your abilities, insight and sense of responsibility to enable you to see what continues to need ‘fixing’ in our world – firstly close to home, then in your ever expanding networks, in Australian society and perhaps in the wider world –

making it a much better place for people – as many Old Boys before you have done. When we talk about time we can define it by hours in the classroom, time in the lecture theatre, at training or rehearsals, at cadet camps, or on the playing field, and the passage of time can be measured in classes, terms, semesters and years. But for me, time is not measured by events, but by the relationships and connections forged during the passage of time – it is the way people are treated, and how we treat one another, that makes time memorable and worthwhile.

years at CGS by the people you have met, the friendships you have made, the teams you have played in, and the school plays, orchestras and choirs that you have been a part of, as well as the adults that have worked with you as teachers, tutors and coaches, and the parents of your friends who have welcomed you into their homes.

Senior School

In your time at school all of you have excelled in some or many aspects of school life, and have experienced disappointments in others. You may have discovered skills you didn’t know you had, experienced strong emotions that surprised you and found support and friendships in unexpected places.

When I look back, I measure my years at school, university and work by remembering the colleagues I have worked with, the friends I’ve made, students I have taught, and their parents, and the Old Boys who I meet everywhere I go. With these people I associate kindness, respect, fun, support, leadership, friendship, collegiality and love. I hope that you too will measure your

Toast to the Leavers

Senior School

Perhaps you will find in the years ahead when you think of your school years, that it’s the people you remember. People who have treated you fairly and with respect; people who you have laughed and cried with; people who have presented you with challenges and opportunities to succeed; people who have provided strong role models; and people who have offered you friendship and support through happy and tough times. These are the people who will live in your memories once the classrooms and curriculum are less immediately relevant. And now for the short story. This experience was related to me by a recent leaver – it happened to him in his first year of university, just before the first assessments were due– a time that can be very stressful for students testing themselves in a new situation – a situation not too dissimilar to that which you are experiencing now – moving from the known to the unknown. When the students arrived in the lecture theatre, the lecturer surprised them by

announcing that they were to do a brief test in the first part of the lecture. The test papers were already on the desks in front of them. When he and the other students turned the page over, they were surprised to see this – just a black dot, and the instruction – “Write about what you see here”. According to Ben, there was quite in air of confusion, but the students complied with the instruction and duly handed an essay to the lecturer within the 30 minutes allocated. The lecturer then proceeded to read aloud each students work, first noting that they would not be graded on the essay. The group listened silently as each piece was read and then discussion followed on the similarities and differences of the 26 pieces. One similarity stood out – each student had written about the black dot – describing in detail its position on the paper, on what a black dot might represent.

The lecturer then noted that perhaps there was something to learn from the groups’ focus on the dot. No one wrote about the white page, or the space around the dot. His point was that at any stage of our lives it is easy to become focussed on the immediacy of what is happening to us (the black dot) to the exclusion of seeing the big picture – in this case the white page. He went on to point out that the dot could also represent their lives at this stage, and the white space their whole lives, with all the opportunities and time ahead – hoping to help them to understand that there was so much more to prepare for, and to live for, than a brief period of time represented by the dot, and in this case the immediacy of assessments. I urge you to consider this little story every now and then, and focus on the people you have to support you, and look at what’s ahead with confidence and optimism – you are well prepared for the future. On behalf of everyone who is here this evening to celebrate the end of your school years, and the beginning of the next stage of your lives, I wish you health and happiness, resilience and respect, and success in your chosen studies and careers – you are well prepared to change the world for the better. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand and join me in a toast to the Class of 2016 – To the Class of 2016.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

Toast to the School At this moment, the words of John Lennon come to mind – “Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” Good evening Dr Hicks, Ms Falloon, staff, family, friends and of course, the class of 2016, it is my honour to reflect upon our time at Camberwell Grammar School. To my fellow peers: congratulations. What can I say? We did it. Today was our final day of high school (given that we pass VCE), and it is daunting to know that we will never walk into the school the same way again. We’ll never have formal classes again, we’ll never get kicked out of the common room again and, probably the saddest of them all, we’ll never hear the rants of Dr Anderson or Mr Hone again. Personally, I don’t know if I’ll be able to get up in the morning – they add so much spice to my life. All that aside, time has flown by very quickly indeed. It seems like yesterday when we

entered the school, played four-square and worked out that cafeteria food prices are disgusting…ly underappreciated. Suddenly, we’re about to sit our final exams and depart – but there’s always a silver lining. Tonight, we get to add some of our teachers on Facebook. For many, first up is Dr. Khor for his unparalleled banter. In a somewhat similar vein, Steve Jobs once stated, “Time is limited… stay hungry, stay foolish.” Stay hungry – this goes without saying but there is a lot ahead of us. Despite the fact that we have gone through eight gruelling months of SACs, we are not even half way for most of our subjects! And so, the job is not over. But this also extends to next year and the rest of our lives. Stay foolish – school was a beautiful place to make mistakes, learn from them and develop. No reason why the next chapter of our lives cannot be the same. It goes without saying that the school has been like a home to us for the past few years. Some of us have been here for a long time. It can span up to 14 years of education, and during this time there have been a few changes. The sports complex is essentially complete. Whilst it’s a pity that we don’t actually get to use it, it’s worth noting that some of the students witnessed the construction of the current Middle School, Senior School and Sports complex. That’s practically a whole Camberwell Grammar. It’s amazing how our settings can change around us, but our relationships hold firm.

Senior School

The following is an edited version of the speech delivered at the Leavers’ Dinner by Captain of the School Brian Kim.

Some of us have grown, emotionally and physically, and sometimes this growth has been notable to say the least. Paul McDonald, Daniel Turner and Harrison Lucas just to name a few… maybe the Year 12s can thank you for helping us reach new heights this year. And a speech would not be complete without mentioning the strength of the bonds within our year level, and this raw power is embodied by Max Henderson and George Wang (could probably carry all of us). Just for those who think that the worst part of leaving school is not having access to the quick internet – did you know that you can use the school’s wifi by just sitting in Matt and Jack Chessari’s front yard? Good reception.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

Senior Senior School School As a cohort, we will always have something in common. Whether you’d like to admit it or not, we bleed gold and double blue. It’s become second nature for us to put on the tie, to sing Chess, or to belt out ‘Cheers Cheers’ when we win a sporting match – in the case of footy, if we win a sporting match. Unfortunately, it’s still not that natural to perform the war cry – which I think has been omitted now. Nevertheless, it’s in the school colours that we began this remarkable journey. One of the first days of Year 7 we were taught the new school hymn, which has since barely been touched. All anxious and yet excited about donning the blue shirt and knee-high socks, we embarked on an unforgettable adventure. In Middle School, there were some cherished moments that we all shared: • The ridiculous Year 7 Geography exam (which after some research I found has been outrageous just about every year). 78

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

• Mr Burke’s words of wisdom every Wednesday morning, where he would read a passage from that book which some students even claim is blank. • The topography project in Geography is probably still my favourite assignment to this day. • The classes in preparation for the Year 8 social, where we were enlightened on how to shake hands and hold a conversation with women. Perhaps a repeat of those would be beneficial. Senior School was overwhelming at first. New white shirts and socks, it felt empowering but also intimidating at the same time. But soon enough, we felt right at home with our tutor groups and also felt the pressure of studies pile up a bit. But VCE preparation didn’t stop us from creating some great memories: • Year 9 saw a band of new students come in. Of particular note is the ever-cooked Edmund Wu

• We all dispersed around Australia for camp that year, and some of us, well… I, vomited on the sailing trip • Work experience meant that a few of us stacked shelves and did nothing else • I have no idea what else to say about Year 10 – I suppose Bridgland won House Music and Drama. • We fast forward to Josh Holding winning just about every sports prize that could possibly be won • And the amazing Hamer Hall concert, where some of us literally sang our guts out. Classic moments for a classic cohort. Of course, this would not be a proper speech without giving thanks to some of the most important people in our lives.

Senior School

Toast to the School

Before I begin this, I am terribly sorry if I forgot someone. Firstly, to Mr Jones, Dr Smith, Ms Sangster, Ms Reiger, and Mr Ramalingam – your efforts, whether it be administration, teaching or shouting/singing to us ensuring that we sit our SACs, have been outstanding. There is no doubt in my mind that our end-of-year results will reflect your hard work. Let’s not forget the steadfast leadership of Dr Hicks and Ms Falloon, complemented by Ms Perna, Ms Booth, Mrs Board, and Ms Carbone. You’ve been a constant in our lives, and sometimes we might have taken it for granted. But all the work behind-thescenes providing us with a safe and warm environment day-in-day-out – it’s been incredible. To the parents: you’ve had a lot on your hands. Sometimes it takes years to understand the sacrifices you had to make for us to be here. And your love and support for nigh 18 years is what shaped us into the men who we are today. So on behalf of the boys, I’d like to say thank you.

On an even more personal note, it has been a privilege to serve as the Captain of the School this year. The appreciation that I have for this school and its members, cannot be expressed in words. Clichéd, I know, but that’s what you get when you have an amazingly supportive cohort. All communities have little cliques, but even then, there are individuals like the notorious Jimmy ‘bigboi’ Zhang, and the ever-classy Stephen Everett who bridge gaps. And we always seem to come together in the end. We may go our separate ways soon enough, but I am sincerely grateful for this period of time when all our paths happened to align, and Camberwell Grammar School was where it all happened. For the class of 2016, I would like to leave you with this message: “Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being.” – These are the words of American journalist Kevin Kruse and it captures the motto (complementing our school’s one) by which we should live. Go out into the world and just be genuine and selfless in all that you do. By our deeds may we be known.

Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to stand and join me in raising your glass for a toast to the school, thank you for providing us with memories that will last a lifetime.

able to overcome their uncertainties and walk out of their comfort-zones. In the end, not only have they gained unforgettable memories, but more importantly, they have learned that they are able to stand up to the seemingly impossible, both as an individual and a team. On behalf of all those who have participated in Cadets this year, I would like to thank all staff and students who have dedicated their efforts in ensuring a fun and smooth experience. The Bivouac from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 April was without a doubt, a refreshing 2016 had been yet another incredibly experience for many new comers. It was on challenging and fruitful year for the CGSACU. Under the leadership of the Senior this camp that our young recruits became familiar with the hardships presented to CUO Connor Murphy, RSM Addison Peersthem, as well as the numerous ways of Johnson, various Cadet staff members and dealing with such problems. Sleeping under senior and junior leaders, a wide mixture a piece of tarp with both ends opened? of activities were carried out. From the Crawling in the woods when it’s pitch dark? Recruit Training Day to the ANZAC Dawn Trekking across dense bushes while carrying Service, from the Bivouac to the Annual a 30kg steel box? You name it. It was the Camp, every activity was a testament of time for junior leaders, fresh from their courage, initiative and teamwork, often courses, to demonstrate their leadership times posing immense adversaries and and problem-solving skills. difficulties. Fortunately, our cadets were

The ANZAC Commemoration Service on Thursday 21 April, accompanied by the Kew RSL March and St Barnabas service on Sunday 24 April continued Camberwell Grammar’s long tradition of being involving in ANZAC Day services. Various ceremonial activities, including boys standing vigil around the flag pole in the HRM quadrangles were conducted. At 6.00am on 25 April members of the school community, led by the Cadets, gathered around the Amphitheatre and participated in the Anzac Dawn Service. With the dawning sunlight piecing through distant clouds, a solemn ritual was conducted. ‘Lest we forget’. Much of Terms 2 and 3 gravitated around drill and field-training. Nonetheless, activities such as RAP-jumping (nothing related to the music genre) and rockclimbing saw to an overwhelmingly positive rate of participation. Such activities, while seemingly challenging, proved the courage of our cadets; and, I hope they will remain as part of CGSACU’s tradition. One significant development this year has been a greater involvement in adventurous activities conducted by the Brigade and the Schools’ Battalion. Such activities included Exercise Hoorah in the April Holidays. Three members of the Unit – CDTSGT Luke Ireland, CDTCPLs Jeffrey Lu, and Oscar Lu – participated in a week of activities in the April holidays including abseiling, canoeing, and the obstacle course. In addition, at the end of the activity Luke Ireland and Jeffrey Lu also participated in and passed the barrier test for the Adventurous Training Award. This was followed by a demanding one-week camp in New South Wales in the July holidays, and the Unit congratulates them being awarded the Adventure

Senior School Training Award, the highest badge a cadet can receive. The Unit also sent a team supervised by CAPT (AAC) M Daniel, consisting of Connor Murphy, Callum Gosbell, Jacob Akse, and Luke Sudholz to the Inter-School Cadet Unit MCC Cup Shooting competition at Watsonia on 30 July. In addition, CDTCPL Oscar Lu, CDTSGTs Will de la Rue, Josh Cooper and Oliver Wong also participated in Exercise Coolshot, run in the High Country every two years during winter over a weekend. Those participating had to engage in an exercise involving initiative, stamina and teamwork above the snow-line. The highlight of this year’s training was the Annual Camp. Not only was it the last time the Year 12s marched off to Puckapunyal as a group, but it was also, the damn wettest annual camp I had been to in my brief service of four years. The unforgiving and unpredictable weather of Melbourne took a hitchhike with the buses, and mercilessly poured on the heads of our cadets for three straight days. All jokes aside, activities were carried out smoothly, this year with the addition of canoeing, scuba diving and abseiling. Such entrées served before the main meal - that is 48-hour exercise - proved themselves to be delightful, adding spice to the already action-packed Annual Camp.

Cooke as the reviewing officer, who was certainly impressed by the highly-disciplined and well-trained CGSACU. With the Year 12s slowly marching out between the ranks of almost perfectly executed ‘advance in review order’ drill, the parade was brought to an end, thus signifying the successful year of 2016 for Cadets. Of course, a year is never complete without the Cadet Annual Dinner. This joyous feast is all about celebrating a year of hardwork and dedication, attended by all NCOs, staff members, Year 12 leavers and their parents who have devoted much time and energy, especially those who have worked behind the scenes in the Auxiliary. However, there is always a pinch of fun on the side: how could one forget the ‘danger management’ speech made by Dr Hicks?

also acknowledged. Without the dedication of such adult Cadet Staff it would not be possible for the Brigade to conduct activities that provide so many benefits. Let us take a moment to appreciate the effort of those who have persevered throughout the entire year; and wish those in the leadership positions next year all the best in their endeavours of shaping an even greater community. The Unit also wishes to thank the Cadet Parents’ Auxiliary for their fundraising efforts this year, principally through a number of sausage sizzles, and their Open Day stall.

This year CAPT (AAC) Michael Neal, the Officer Commanding the Unit, took some well-earnt rest in Term 1, and the Secondin-Charge, CAPT (AAC) Michael E Daniel commanded the Unit in his absence. 2LT (AAC) Lindsay Fowler leaves the Unit at the end of the year in the wake of his resignation CDT Jack Zhang from the teaching staff. During his three years Year 12 of involvement with the Unit he has played an integral role in the Q-Store, and the Unit The Open Day March on Saturday 8 October thanks him for his kind assistance. LT (AAC) was the final test for the Unit. After the drill Amanda Kollosche has accepted the role of squad’s flawless and elegant performance, Quartermaster, commencing this role during RSM Peers-Johnson signalled the march-on Annual Camp.

Cadets Cadet Dinner The following is an edited version of the speech given by Senior Cadet Under Officer (CUO) Connor Murphy at the annual Cadet Dinner on Friday 14 October 2016.

Senior School

Colonel Cooke and other official guests from the Australian Army Cadets, current Officer Commanding of the Unit, Captain Michael Neal, former OCs of the Unit, members of the Cadet Auxiliary, Officers of Cadets, Cadets and special guests. I am extremely delighted to be here in front of you all this evening in my last day as your Senior Cadet Under Officer. Firstly, I would like to thank the officer commanding of the Unit CAPT (AAC) Michael Neal. Not many people have the opportunity to see the extent of the hard work he puts in behind the scenes running this Unit; so thank you for being such a great boss and mentor, always very supportive of new ideas and I am honoured to have had the chance to work with you this year. Mr Neal is a strong pillar that holds

CGS up to be the great school that it is. Thank you Sir.

team who work hard to raise money to fund Unit equipment and expenditure.

To the OOCs of the unit I would like to thank you for your dedication to the Unit and to the boys. You have all had such a positive influence on the lives of the Cadets and I personally would like to thank you for all your assistance and hard work throughout the years, the Unit could not run without you. You put in extra hours of work; mentoring senior Cadets and supervising activities, giving up personal time with family and friends to attend camps, and of course make up those important 1 to 10 ratios. A special mention and thank you is deserved for LT (AAC) Linsey Fowler for his service to the unit over the past three years and his professional and enthusiastic approach to running our Q-Store. The Unit wishes you all the best for the future, thank you Sir.

To my NCOs, you have all worked extremely hard this year and should be very proud of yourselves. As a unit you have represented the School very well in achieving numerous awards and accomplishments. Thank you for being such a wonderful team to lead and for teaching me so much about what it means to be a leader. I wish you all the best in your Cadet careers and futures.

I would also like to thank Major Gillman for his past assistance to the Unit and granting us great opportunities and experiences from the Army. Best wishes for your retirement Sir.

To my fellow Year 12s, today marks our last moment as Camberwell Grammar School Army Cadets. To the leadership team who have attended Fridays and countless NCO meetings, I thank you for all the hard work and late nights you have put into making this year run so smoothly. You are the ones that make Cadets wonderful and are a great group to have worked with over the years.

Thank you to Mr Bishop for his assistance with our parade and Mr O’Callaghan for conducting. Thank you to Dr Hicks and Ms Falloon for supporting the Cadet unit and facilitating the existence of this invaluable aspect of the school. Another thank you goes out to Mrs Sue Wearne and the Cadet Auxiliary

Congratulations to CDTSGT Luke Ireland who will be taking up my position as Senior Cadet Under Officer for 2017, and also to CDTSGT William de la Rue who will be Regimental Sergeant Major of the Unit. I trust that this will be a strong leadership duo and I hope that you enjoy the year as much as Addison and I have.

To the Year 12s who participated in camps only, thank you for your long commitment to Cadets, as individuals you have kept the spirit and tradition of Cadets alive, especially for seniors. So again thank you. I hope when you all look back at your time in Cadets you will have fond memories, of the great times we have shared and friends made. To carry on the tradition, the Year 12 leadership team have purchased a statue to donate to the Unit. The statue is of Andy an Australian WW1 Lighthorse soldier in Gallipoli. We have chosen a Lighthorse solider to acknowledge Camberwell’s Foster Unit 4/19th Prince of Wales’ Lighthorse who we have worked closely with this year to rekindle our long term partnership.

Cadets has helped me in every aspect of my life from developing selfconfidence to working with others. It has taken me places I never thought I would be and allowed me to build memories and friends that I will cherish for life. Thank you.

2016 proved a mightily successful year for debating at the school. Term 1 saw House Debating heavy-weights Bridgland and Summons looking strong in the first round, facing off against the always strong Steven and incumbent victors Derham House. Robinson presented an unexpected challenge, awakening its latent debating proficiency to find itself in the finals for both age groups against Bridgland. Ultimately the sky-blue house emerged victorious in both age groups, though the overall winners were Clifford. This proved to be only the beginning of a thrilling year for all Debaters of the school.

Autumn ushered in a new year of DAV competition, hosted by Camberwell Grammar. With the new addition of Melbourne High School to our region, our debaters faced a greater challenge than ever. The Year 12 teams got off to a wonderful start, defeating traditional rivals Carey Grammar and Camberwell Girls. The stars of the competition however were found in the younger years, with the Year 9 and 10 teams enjoying remarkable success and with a Year 10 team managing to come within a hair’s breadth of finals. The Gladwyn Cup was up for grabs once again mid-year, with such immense demand for country placings that it almost seemed necessary to have two competitions, mostly due to enthusiastic Year 9 and 10 students willing to try out their skills in the prestigious day of debating. Ably run by past debaters Farouk Al-Salihi and Jasper MacCuspie (both 2014) – themselves past winners of the Cup – the debate ignited immediately. Non-interventionist arguments clashed against moralistic ones all day, allowing in students of all levels of experience to contribute to the issues at hand. The overall trend of younger students proving themselves adept at the unfamiliar debate format was reflected in the final result. For the first time in many years, a Year 11 team emerged victorious. Congratulations to Vignesh Alagappan and Michael Josefsson on that result.

While neither team progressed any further, it was a promising indicator of years to come. I would like to thank all of those involved in allowing such a successful year to run so smoothly.

ROTE and Realms of Gold

Duke of Edinburgh Adam van der Hock, Hamish McLean, Thomas Golz.

Duke of Edinburgh Award The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a framework that encourages personal development and community involvement in youth aged between 14 and 25. The award is divided into three levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold) and to complete a level of the award students must undertake tasks in four different categories; skill development, service, physical recreation and adventurous journeys. Regular commitment to activities in each of these four categories counts toward the achievement of a level. The time commitment varies with each level and becomes progressively greater. Many of the activities on offer in the co-curricular programs at Camberwell Grammar School help students complete the award but they are also encouraged to connect with the wider community. In 2016 a number of students at Camberwell Grammar School worked toward completing a Bronze Award. A special mention and congratulations must go to the three students who completed a level of the Award in 2016: BRONZE AWARD RECIPIENTS Thomas Golz Hamish McLean Adam van der Hock Mrs Kirsty McDougall Director of Co-Curricular Activities

In 2016 the Rote team was once again ably lead by willing students who somehow find the time to devote to student publications and then, try to make them palatable to the masses. The challenges of regenerating interest in ROTE this year remain, and will perhaps next. Many thanks go to the Creative Editors of ROTE in 2016, Hubert Zhu and Kevin Chen for their work and to Vignesh Alagappan who took over the reigns as Designer. Since going digital, ROTE has struggled to gain a captive audience however plans to install a permanent monitor where students will be able to read the publication in an interactive manner are in action. In 2017 the new look corporate can-doyes-we-can-and-will team lead by Vignesh and Michael Josefsson have already commenced the revolution they think is needed to get ROTE back to its former glory. Will it be a new name? Perhaps. Monthly printed editions (after the printed version was relegated to the dustbin) will be trialled in the new year. ROG (Realm of Gold) is also experiencing a renaissance of sorts and is weaving its way down a Gibsonesque triple woven cable as this is written. It is the dedicated work of Mr Matthew Wood that leads here, in reinvigorating what was once a take home journal of student work. It is happening and will, so thank you Mr Wood. To the beautiful seasonal photography of Mrs Anne Walters and Mr Kevin Boyd, to the more ‘actif’ variety from Mr Brian McManus and Mr Simon Barry and to everyone who contributes pictures, a big thank you! Lastly to the forensic eye of the Deputy Head and Head of the Senior School, Ms Rachael Falloon for the final edits…yes, sometimes necessary, so thank you very much. Gentleman please… be nice! Mr Vincenzo Piscioneri ROTE and ROG Coordinator

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

Work Experience From the week of 6 to 10 of June, our Year 10 students swapped school uniforms for appropriate workplace attire: suits, lab coats, and steel capped boots, as they began their week in the workforce. Some were surprised to find that they were working 9.00am to 5.00pm, rather than regular school hours, but most adapted quickly to their new routines. Visiting teachers found most of the boys very enthusiastic about their workplaces. Mrs Lynette Reiger Careers Counsellor

Friday Activities The 2016 Senior School Friday Activities program once again offered students a wide range of opportunities to learn new skills, be active and participate in local service projects. Throughout the year, students were encouraged to select three different activities, from the three activity categories; Skill, Service and Active. Many groups spent time in the local community, walking, cycling and developing their skateboarding skills whilst others undertook activities such as Chinese Martial Arts, cooking, touch typing

and photography at school. Community partnerships with Eva Tilley Memorial Home, The Mews Nursing Home, Trinity Manor and North Balwyn Rotary Club allowed students to spend time visiting the elderly and engage in basic garden maintenance to assist those who can no longer maintain their gardens.

VCE Results Senior School

I wish to congratulate our Class of 2016 for their outstanding VCE results this year. They have had a difficult year, and more than anything I admire their compassion and their support for each other through very challenging times. In the face of great adversity, they nevertheless remained determined and focussed, worked hard at their studies and have earned some amazing results. All 175 of our students who completed the year satisfactorily met the requirements of the Victorian Certificate of Education, and we are very proud of them all.

Music

Junior School Music 2016 – a year of musical adventure for our many musicians who have been actively engaged in a variety of musical experiences. Some of the highlights…

Junior School Choir Music

Junior School Choir is over 60 voices strong from the Year 4 and 5 cohort. Leading the singing at our Easter service, the boys sang Lightfoot’s ‘Pie Jesu’ and a lovely arrangement of The Lord’s Prayer. At the Mid-Year Concert, the boys performed in a lively, confident style to wonderful applause. In September, the Choir opened the Poco di Musica concert with an impressive performance of John Rutter’s ‘All Bells in Paradise’, specially arranged for the Choir, organ and Mega Flute Ensemble. A concert highlight was a performance of the Year 2/3 Superstars with the classic Irving Berlin song ‘I Love a Piano’. Performances at Open Day and Grandparents’ Day kept the Choir busy before preparing a beautiful Christmas program at St Mark’s. Our wonderful accompanist, Mr Greg Roberts, always supports the vocal sound with his skilful and sympathetic playing.

Chamber Singers

Junior School Orchestra

Chamber Singers of 22 choristers have performed regularly during the year, leading the singing at our Easter and Christmas services at St Mark’s. They have sung at the Mid-Year concert and combined with the Orchestra, to form Concert Choir representing Junior School at the School Concert at Hamer Hall. Their singing of ‘I Don’t Need Anything But You’ from Annie and the classic ‘What a Wonderful World’ was confident and entertaining and well received by the school community. We have been fortunate to enjoy fine accompanying by Adrian Xu of Year 11 who gives our singing much dynamic variation.

Junior School Orchestra develops our string players in technical and performance skills. Under the guidance of Mrs Marcelle Drummond, Mr Simon Meighan and Mrs Miriam Falloon, the group has grown to 45 members by Term 4. Excellent musical performances throughout the year have included the Mid-Year concert, the Piazzola piece ‘Oblivion’ for their Hamer Hall performance, Open Day concert, and a new program of music to conclude the year at the Ensemble soirée.

Year 2/3 Superstars Conducted by Ms Meg Hall and accompanied by Mr Greg Roberts, the Years 2/3 Superstars have performed at Assemblies, Poco di Musica, Open Day and both Easter and Christmas services at St Mark’s. These fresh young voices are a delight with their enthusiasm, energy and musical presentation.

Many smaller ensembles rehearse and perform during the year at Assemblies, Soirées, Open Day and the wonderful Ensemble soirée to conclude the year.

Junior School Music String Ensemble

Percussion Ensemble

String Ensemble rehearses with Ms Amanda Fairs. These young upper string players have learnt many pieces and displayed developing strength of sound and technical skill.

Percussion Ensemble members love learning new pieces with Ms Meg Hall. They perform with rhythmic precision and energy, and audiences love their music.

Bass Clef Band Music

Bass Clef Band beginner cellists have loved working with Mr Simon Meighan. Learning to play together with accurate intonation and coordinated bowing culminated in a fine performance at the Ensemble soirée.

Flute Ensemble The highlight for this ensemble has been to combine with all flute students as the Mega Flute Ensemble to perform their own arrangement of John Rutler’s ‘All Bells in Paradise’. In 2016 Flute Ensemble members have enjoyed learning from Mr Greg Lee.

Recorder Ensemble With Ms Meg Hall’s expert guidance, these musicians combine descant and treble recorders to perform lovely arrangements with clear articulation and musical interpretation. Audiences have enjoyed their fine playing.

Pipersnipers Pipersnipers brings our flute, clarinet and saxophone players together. Led by Ms Linda Wostry, they have enjoyed playing together in their performance at the Ensemble soirée.

Twisted Brass Twisted Brass boys worked hard with Mr Lucas Clayton during Semester 2 to refine their sound and perform with polish at the Ensemble soirée.

Junior School Music Chamber Music Under the expert guidance of Mr Robert Wakely, Chamber Music has given some of our advanced players the opportunity to prepare and present beautifully crafted music items.

Year 5 Ensemble Music

Year 5 Ensemble has brought together all boys in Year 5 to rehearse during Semester 2 for their Graduation ceremony and at Final Assembly. This project gives all boys experience in a large music ensemble and is a fitting conclusion to their music learning in Junior School. Instrumental music in the Junior School is significant in its development during the year. We witness wonderful growth in boys’ musical skill and experience. Assemblies, concerts and soirées allow all our students to discover the essence of music in Junior School – vigorous and strong – touching the life of each one of us. Of course, nothing could be accomplished without the guidance and encouraging teaching of our wonderful Music Staff. Lifelong skills and understandings have begun and are established in these formative years.

preparing for the Mid-Year Concert. This concert would be the first for many of us. By the time the concert came around, we were playing the pieces at our very best. We gave a thrilling performance of ‘Scenes from the Old West’ conducted by Mr Kerr, followed by the well-known ‘Indiana Jones Medley’, conducted by Mr Byrne.

performed three contrasting pieces from the timeless classic Handel’s ‘Messiah’. Our three pieces were: ‘And the Glory of the Lord’, ‘Surely He Hath Borne our Griefs’ and the final piece being the ‘Hallelujah’ Chorus. These three pieces provided quite a challenge as not only was the timing difficult but certain parts in the piece tested all our vocal chords.

Middle School Choir We performed two magnificent pieces at our concerts in 2016. For the Mid-Year Concert we performed the first four movements of ‘Gloria’ by Karl Jenkins. This amazing piece was a fabulous start for the Choir. ‘Gloria’ required all the singing ability we had, and at times, even more. At each rehearsal the movement we all feared the most was ‘The Psalm’, this gruelling movement had the whole Choir struggling for breath in between each deafening phrase that seemed endless. Our next and final piece for the year was to be performed at breathtaking Hamer Hall. To commemorate this occasion we

Next came the Biennial Concert. We practised and rehearsed more vigorously than ever, looking forward to playing in Hamer Hall. When the day came, we filled the giant hall with ‘Procession of the Sadar’. Our final performance of the year was on Grandparents’ Day. Mr Kerr led us to tell our grandparents the story of a train through the piece titled ‘The Great Locomotive Chase’. Our accomplishments were made possible with the help and guidance of our conductors and instrumental tutors, and because we all enjoyed playing together. Kaelan Fraser Orchestra Leader

Middle School Orchestra 2016 was a very successful year for the Middle School Orchestra. With many new talented musicians from Years 6 and 7 we were as strong as ever. Soon after the start of the year we were

Middle School Stage Band

Middle School Concert Band Conducted by Mr Kerr and Ms Wostry, the Middle School Concert Band is a large ensemble with woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. Students from Year 6 to 8 come together every Thursday lunchtime to produce music in a range of styles. Everyone who plays an instrument is welcome from beginner to experienced. The more experienced musicians mentor their instrumental group. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other students who also enjoy playing music. This year, the Middle School Concert Band played in the Mid-Year Concert, the Biennial School Concert at Hamer Hall, as well as a performance for Grandparents’ Day. The pieces played throughout the year included ‘The Adventure Begins’, ‘Carnivore’, ‘Le Patineurs’ and a medley from ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. Thank you to all the Music Teachers for helping to tutor the boys and a special thanks to Mr Kerr and Ms Wostry for conducting and sharing your enthusiasm for music.

This year, the Middle School Stage Band performed on Open Day, at the Mid-Year Concert, the Biennial Concert and many more. The Stage Band is always a big hit, due to the constant hard work, enthusiasm and effort put in by all of the musicians and teachers. Our conductor, Ms Wostry has worked tirelessly to make all the performances perfect, and deserves a colossal thank you from everyone involved for making the Middle School Stage Band as fantastic as it is. Everyone from drum kit to soprano sax has been volunteering their time throughout the year, to create the magical music you heard at our performances. Hugh McGlone Leader

Angliss String Orchestra

String Festival on a Sunday afternoon before the Mid-Year Concert. Our second piece to be performed was ‘Symphony No. 1, 1st Movement, AdagioAllegro’ by Beethoven. After months of meticulous preparation, our performance at the Poco Di Musica went smoothly and received arguably the loudest applause for the night. It was a stirring rendition of the classic piece. All of this would not have been possible without our conductor, Mr Wakely. His help, support and dedication to Thursday lunchtime rehearsals was amazing. I’d like to sincerely extend our gratitude towards him. It truly has been a wonderful year for the Angliss String Orchestra. Geoffrey Gong Year 8

The Angliss String Orchestra, yet again, had a memorable year. With many fresh new faces as well as some familiar ones, it was great to see the talent that was coming through the ranks. The high quality of music played by the orchestra was surely some of the best music produced by the Middle School all year. Before we knew it, our first performance was upon us. We performed ‘Concerto Grosso’ by Elliot del Borgo at the AUSTA

It is my goal, as incoming Director of Music, that boys at Camberwell Grammar learn two things as early as possible. Firstly, to simply love music. Music speaks to us all on a level beyond notes, rhythms and raw sound – creating music together unites us and brings us joy and, I hope, some very special memories and bonds between us, that last for many years to come. Secondly, all can be involved in making music. There is no such thing as an “unmusical” person – many adults often relate their “tone deafness” to me and it usually boils down to something that put them off in their younger days. We have all been gifted with the instrument of our own voice, and while some may find it easier to control the pitch, tone and volume than others, these skills can be learned, practised and improved with time and effort. Similarly, with a musical instrument: the technique of sound creation takes time, effort and patience… but the rewards to those who apply themselves and persevere are immense. Mastering your own voice or a musical instrument is the ultimate intrinsic reward. Creating music (either another composer’s or your own) triggers a huge reward system in the brain, especially when we create music together.

108

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

The young men of Camberwell Grammar have learned all these things through their own experiences in 2016, through the vast array of rehearsals and ‘sellout’ performances either this year, or during their many years at school. In preparations for the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall, I was fortunate to stand in the centre of over 1,000 CGS boys to rehearse songs from Adele, to Sinatra and our traditional songs. This experience is etched in my memory (and I hope theirs also) for the unity, focus, and joy that existed in the room at that time. Our school is unique in this respect, and I often wish that our audiences could see the enjoyment and determination of our rehearsals, as well as the more polished result in performance. While the Biennial Concert is inclusive of all boys, our Chamber Music program takes in the very finest musicians in the school, and a week after Hamer Hall, these boys performed on our own stage for the Elva Allan Recital, creating music of such a high standard that it would have been just at home in the Melbourne Recital Centre, as it was at our school. Chamber Music is by far the most difficult form of music making, and all these challenges mean that it is also the most rewarding for those who are ready to tackle it.

This is our ‘extension program’ in the music department and this area, in particular, is one that we are committed to expanding over the coming years to nurture our top musicians. Behind every CGS musician are supportive parents, a committed and dedicated teacher, an ensemble leader (or two) and a team of music educators and administrators that is working to ensure the best outcome for each individual. It has been an extraordinarily humbling experience to oversee and lead the music team this year – so much unseen care is taken to prepare each lesson, each rehearsal, each performance. My sincere and heartfelt thanks go to the incredible group of teachers who do this work every day, and who build the foundation on which we can present music to our audiences. Finally, my congratulations and very best wishes go to the Class of 2016. Thank you for embracing a new Director of Music, thank you for your leadership, thank you for your persistence and your effort with music during your school years and I hope that you share your musical abilities with a new, wider audience for many years to come. Mr Ben Bishop Director of Music

The musical year began with the MidYear Concert held in the Performing Arts Centre in May. Marking the start of Mr Bishop’s era as Director of Music, his Mid-Year Concert debut did not fail to impress the audience and displayed the fine skill the musical society of Camberwell Grammar possesses.

Mr Kerr’s CGS Chorale presented the stunning voices of the Senior and Middle School, with the solos of Brian Kim and Sean Halley leaving the audience in awe of their brilliant singing. Following the interval, the School Choir sang Karl Jenkins’s ‘Gloria’, led by William Koswig. The night ended with the Senior School Orchestra, playing the famous ‘Harry Potter Suite’ and finishing with Sibelius’ ‘Finlandia’. Following this was the 50th annual House Music Competition. It was a special moment for all students, as everyone from each House contributed to their house, and sang passionately. Despite the hard work of all students, Bridgland took first place with their superb instrumental and their harmonious singing. The last major event of the year was the Biennial Concert held at the prestigious Hamer Hall. Once again, the whole Middle School and Senior School gathered together to create a special night for everyone. For Mr Bishop, it marked the first Biennial Concert of his legacy and for some students, it would be the first or last time they would participate in such a profound concert. The night began with the grand opening of the Fanfare, composed by Mr O’Callaghan, and was immediately followed by the elegant playing of the Middle School Orchestra with their ‘Procession of the Sardar’ and the Middle School Concert Band performing the wonderful original composition by Mr Kerr entitled ‘Les Patineurs – The Skater’. The concert did not stop, with the amusing theme items organised by Mr Johnston keeping the flow and interest of the audience at its maximum. A particular highlight was the massed singing of the whole school, with every boy

Music

Starting with the Junior School Orchestra, playing the renowned Pachelbel’s ‘Canon’, the first half of the concert consisted of a variety of works, ranging from the American composer Elliot Borgo to Haydn’s ‘Surprise’ Finale, performed by the Middle School String Orchestra. A noteworthy performance was Mrs Thomas’ Junior School Choir, which sang the popular ‘Blackbird’ by John Lennon, and was especially unique with the reunion of Old Boys from Pre-Prep (Nelson Zhao, Nathan Fong and Matthew Perri) to accompany and create peaceful harmonic sounds.

singing to their best of their capabilities in ‘Bui Doi’, the ‘School Song’, ‘Sports Song’, ‘Anthem’ from Chess and many more. The Junior School Orchestra also provided a touching rendition of Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Oblivion’, featuring Leon Fei from Year 6 as the soloist. With the aid of Mrs Thomas’ excellent guidance, the Junior School Choir created a lively atmosphere with their youthful singing of ‘I Don’t Need Anything But You’ and ‘What a Wonderful World’. Nathan Fong performed Bruch’s ‘Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor’ accompanied by the CGS Chamber Orchestra, and the School Choir sang the three choruses from ‘Messiah’ by Handel. Following a rather passionate massed singing of ‘New York, New York,’ the Highton Strings, conducted by Mr Wakely, performed the sensitive and serene ‘Elegie’ from ‘Serenade for Strings’ by Tchaikovsky. Last but not least, the Senior School Orchestra literally blew the audience away with Tchaikovsky’s ‘1812 Overture’, conducted by Mr Bishop. The auditorium was filled with the cathedral bells and the firing of cannons, and with the help of Mr Tuckfield’s accurate timing, the front row was sprayed with confetti at the end of the piece. This year, the countless time and effort that all the students and teachers have put into producing such a fruitful year of music cannot be ignored. As the Captain of Music, I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone for the sweat and stress they have endured throughout the year. In particular, I would like to thank Mr Bishop and the Music Department on behalf of the whole

Music community for their huge enthusiasm and vivacity with which they guide and lead all of us to tackle difficult music, learn new music and most importantly, make the rehearsals a fun experience. I’m sure that everyone would agree that this year has been a fun and superb year of music. Nathan Fong Captain of Music and Senior Orchestra Leader

Choir 2016 was a highly successful year for the School Choir. The pieces that were performed stand to demonstrate the high skill level and immense range and depth of the Choir, and continue to heighten its reputation under the fantastic guidance of our new Director of Music Mr Bishop. The Mid-Year Concert was a true test of endurance with the performance of three movements from Karl Jenkin’s ‘Gloria’, which stood to demonstrate just what the Choir is capable of. It definitely struck a chord with both the choir and audience with its sheer energy, challenging rhythm, and everyone’s favourite, foot stomping! In complete contrast to this was the performance of

The choir worked extremely hard on the piece, even holding a workshop with renowned Australian musician Mr Richard Gill AO to produce a highly detailed and refined work, before erupting in grand splendour at the concert. It has been an absolute honour to lead the school choir this year, and I look forward to seeing their performances in the years to come. William Koswig Captain of Choir

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

At the Mid-Year Concert, the Chorale performed ‘There is a Balm in Gilead’ by Joseph Jennings. Culminating in eight-part harmony, this traditional spiritual song reflected the ensemble’s potential to sing sensitively in balance with the two soloists, Sean Halley and Brian Kim. The impact on the audience matched what we felt, and Sean’s moving and sonorous singing is testament to the seriousness with which we value our performances. The same night was ‘Counting Music’ by Chris Lawry, which demonstrated meticulous refinement and staccato in a dynamic atmosphere of 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s. At Hamer Hall, the Chorale performed

‘Northern Lights’ by Ola Gjeilo and the harmony was even denser! Thank you to our pianist Mr Roberts and our conductor Mr Kerr. Mr Kerr’s commitment to the Chorale created such moving performances and he fostered a love for music in us which will linger in our memory far beyond our time at this school. Harry Dempsey Year 12

Concert Band The Concert Band can reflect on yet another highly successful year; Mr O’Callaghan, with his attention to detail and focus on musical expression, ably guided the Concert Band in mastering a high level repertoire in his first year as Band Director. At the Mid-Year Concert, the ‘Medley’ from Miss Saigon allowed the band to showcase

Music its broad spectrum of instruments and musical depth. The cheerful ‘Hounds of Spring’ at the Biennial Concert in September provided a welcome contrast to the sad overtones of Miss Saigon. Thank you to all the students and teachers involved in Concert Band; it’s not easy to sacrifice every Wednesday lunchtime and you should be proud of what you have achieved this year. Johnathan Duan Band Leader

Senior School Stage Band Continuing on from last year’s high, the Senior School Stage Band has been continuing to

work on a variety of different styles of music, such as rock, pop and jazz. Some of these include famous standards from the late 1930s, such as Glen Miller’s ‘In the Mood’ and Benny Goodman’s ‘Sing Sing Sing’, which embody the smooth, laid-back feel associated with that era, and more recent charts such as ‘Spinning Wheel’, with its edgy style. Highlights include backing the school for Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’ at the Biennial Hamer Hall Concert. Over the course of 2016, Stage Band has been a time to enjoy and learn difficult music, and once this has been achieved, to relax and escape from the pressures of daily classes. Thanks to Mr O’Callaghan for supporting us and being a great conductor, and best of luck to the Senior School Stage Band for next year! Nicholas Wong Band Leader

Highton String Orchestra Led by the supremely talented Nathan Fong, the Highton String Orchestra excelled once again this year, delivering some spectacular performances that truly showcased the depth of our musicians. A particular highlight was the orchestra’s involvement in the Biennial Concert at Hamer Hall, where we the performed the Elegie from ‘Serenade for Strings’ by Tchaikovsky, a difficult, yet beautifully sentimental piece which tested the group, containing a poignant opening that is transcended by an impassioned melody before dying down to a pensive coda. Despite the challenges, the piece was played with poise and finesse, and exhibited musical maturity that was far beyond the years of everyone in the group. This incredibly advanced level of musicianship and orchestral cohesion could not have been achieved without the tireless efforts of Mr Wakely. The growth demonstrated by every member of the group is a testament to the principles that Mr Wakely embraces in nurturing these fine musicians. Nelson Zhao Year 11

The re-launch of the Elva Allan Recital as a night of Chamber Music continues to propel our chamber music program ever further with diverse and ambitious channels in repertoire. A collaboration with Methodist Ladies’ College in late July saw our Middle School Quartet demonstrate a class beyond their years in their bright rendition of Mozart’s ‘String Quartet No 4 in C Major’. Our Schumann squad delivered with power and touch the troubled romantic’s ‘E flat Major Piano Quintet’, with our corps d’elite bringing along a close friend in a poignantly moving ‘Trio in A minor for Clarinet, Cello and Piano’, by Brahms. Indeed, such collaborations in the future, with ideas for mixed items perhaps already in conception, will continue to grow and foster our musical culture as representing a certain shared humanity among us. The Elva Allan Memorial Concert, on the first day of September, opened with this year’s scholarship winner, Ian Chen, performing a Haydn violin concerto with an impressive tonal richness and technical refinement. Along with a return of the two German compadres, we witnessed a certain elegance in the serenade of the Mozart Octet, daring in the Beethoven trio and some customary Bach, in the final two movements of his third Brandenburg Concerto, to bring the night to its gleeful close. Thank you to all the Music Staff, without whom our music-making would not be able to live with such vigor in Camberwell musicians of coming years. Adrian Xu Year 11

Junior School Drama Junior School Presents: The Road to Rio – Are We There Yet? Feel the flame forever burn teaching lessons we must learn

Drama

To bring us closer to the power of the dream The world unites in hope and peace we pray that it will always be It is the power of the dream that brings us here There’s so much strength in all of us Every woman, child and man It’s the moment that you think you can’t You’ll discover that you can This chorus from the mighty song ‘Power of the Dream’ brought together every boy in the Junior School to sing of hope and inspiration in the powerful conclusion to this year’s Junior School Performing Arts evening. Presented in the Auditorium at the end of term to a capacity audience, all students from Pre-Prep to Year 5 joined together to present class items that explored the qualities it takes to realise your dream. With training for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro as the common theme, each class developed its presentation based on a selected country and sporting discipline. The result was an entertaining evening of great musical variety. Year 5A captured the mood of South Africa, threading the song ‘Wimoweh’ into their item. Year 5B demonstrated the skill of the basketballers from USA to the music of the ‘Harlem Globetrotters’. Representing the United Kingdom, Year 4A were entertaining as equestrian competitors, rugby players and cyclists with the humorous ‘Pushbike Song!’ Year 4B’s Taekwando competitors from the Republic of Korea were highly disciplined. Year 3 proudly represented multi-cultural Australia with a strong rendition of ‘We are one, but we are many’...in the song ‘I Am Australian’. The Year 2 Russian gymnasts and Cossack dancers showed great strength and skill.

The Year 1 instruments gave authenticity to the cultural style of the Jamaican team. The Preps found themselves in Egypt, perfecting their routine as Olympic weight-lifters. Representing New Zealand, the Pre-Preps presented the finest Rugby haka ever seen. Behind the studio sport desk, our comedy duo Dennis Confetti and Bruce Megaphoney provided insightful commentary, ably assisted with interjection from Hamish and Dandy in the peanut gallery. Our roving reporter Yeti visited each country’s training team to enquire “Are you there yet?” With colourful costumes, marvellous video coverage, effective sound and lighting and a wonderful staff support team, we discovered once again what talented boys we have in the Junior School. The massed singing of ‘The Power of the Dream’ and the festive ‘I Go to Rio’ brought this wonderful night of world travel to a rousing conclusion. Mrs Helen Thomas Junior School Music Director

Middle School Drama The Tempest

Drama

A spaceship crash-lands on an alien world, pulled out of orbit through the magical technology of a tyrannical leader. The crew seek to survive and escape the planet despite the interventions of magical alien creatures and robots. Although this plot might seem familiar from any number of classic works of science fiction, you might not expect it to have been written over four hundred years ago by William Shakespeare. The 1956 film The Forbidden Planet, a retelling of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, was one of the many influences that inspired Director of Drama, Mr Andrew Stocker, to recontextualise this classic play for the Middle School production, forming part of the global celebrations to mark the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death. Thomas Ng played Prospero with great maturity and presence, dominating and manipulating both the native inhabitants of the planet as well as the hapless travellers. When Prospero wished to confuse or scare others, he manipulated a device that fractured his voice and his

personality into four further ‘alien’ Prosperos played by Kerry Sun, Aneek Sengupta, Mun Wah Chan and Matthew Chan. Cilla Sullivan successfully communicated Miranda’s naïve amazement upon seeing these unfamiliar life forms crash-landed on the planet - “How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, that has such people in ‘t!” Prospero has two enslaved ‘familiars’, the impish Arial and lumpen Caliban. Arial, played by Nicholas Sarlos-Welsh, assists Prospero in his plans, skipping and jumping around the stage bewitching, manipulating and listening in on the crew. Caliban is the very opposite; heavy and robotic, despised THE CAST and rejected by Prospero. A combination of Prospero The Borg and Marvin the Paranoid Android, Alien Prosperos Philip Alex played the role of Caliban as deeply resentful; angry at Prospero and then frustrated at the foolishness of Jerry Ji’s Antonio Alonso man servant Trinculo and drunken steward Miranda Francisco Stephano, Hugo Fry. Mariner Aerial Gonzalo Boatswain Sebastian Ship’s Master Adrian Mariner Trinculo Stephano Ferdinand Mariner Mariner Caliban

Surely the highlight of the evening was the black light masque show that recounted Prospero’s back story. The television screen on which Miranda and Ferdinand are watching flies apart, planets and pulsating life forms streaming out. The gorgeous puppet show presented an array of brightly coloured birds, jellyfish and even a large dragonfly with lit tail, eyes and wings. When Prospero stops the show, there was an audible sigh of disappointment MARINERS Henry Smith from the audience! Mr Jason Hall Drama Teacher

Senior School Drama City of Angels

Drama

City of Angels, written by Larry Gelbart, David Zippel and Cy Coleman, was performed by Camberwell Grammar School and Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College at the CGS Performing Arts Centre between the 5 to 7 May 2016. The protagonists of the musical were Stine and Stone played brilliantly by Brian Kim and John Ninis. Set in the legendary Hollywood of the 1940s, the play interweaves two plots; one dealing with the writing of the screenplay and the other being the enactment of that screenplay. The storyline follows Stine, a young novelist, who is attempting to write a screenplay for Buddy Fidler, a big Hollywood director/ producer, played by Hans Anjou. Stine, played by School Captain Brian Kim, writes a screenplay about Stone, a top LA private eye, who is embarking on a case to find a missing girl named Mallory Kingsley, played by Holland Brooks. Stine adapts the screenplay to the scenarios he faces in real life and finds counterparts to the people in his world as characters for his screenplay. The story behind City of Angels compels the audience to observe intently how the two different stories interweave.

122

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

As the plots intertwine, reality and fantasy merge together leading Stine and Stone to work together for a typical ‘Hollywood ending.’ James Frampton played two of the main characters in the musical; Pacho Vargas (Hollywood) and Lieutenant Munoz (movie). James amused many people in the theatre through his great characterisation and skilful interpretation of both roles. He displayed a wide range of emotions from sadness to happiness, from curiosity to frustration; all with great passion. James even managed to belt out his hilarious solo “all you have to do is wait” whilst maintaining a Mexican accent. The stage design of City of Angels was distinctive with the contrast between the real world and reel world being easily distinguished. In the Hollywood scenes the stage was polychromatic, using realistic props and many colours. In the movie scenes, different shades of grey, black and white were used to convey mystery and secrecy. Props and sets were adapted to fit both sides of the stage, hence the two stories could take place alongside each other simultaneously. This would not have been able to happen without the efficient stage crew who helped the production to flow so smoothly with their set changes.

This presentation of two stories simultaneously taking place on the one stage required many technical elements. The costumes, lighting, sound and music all beautifully complimented one another to express the setting of the 1940s and Hollywood. The use of costume particularly helped to distinguish between the contrasting storylines; reflecting the use of the stage and set, the movie characters were limited to wearing only shades of black, white and grey. On the other hand, the Hollywood characters displayed elaborate clothing, which could be seen especially in Buddy Fidler’s costumes.

Senior School Drama Lighting was especially important in enhancing the musical aspects of the performance, focusing in on soloists with follow spots as they were singing their songs. The use of a ‘special’ spotlight allowed Stine to do his editing whilst Stone’s scene was taking place. As the lighting dimmed on a movie scene, it allowed the Hollywood scene to reflect the action in the same location.

Drama

The orchestra, conducted by Director of Music Mr Bishop, was responsible for the music of the production. The precision playing of the orchestra made the audience feel like they were actually in the 1940s. The orchestra supported the tempo of the performance and really controlled whether a moment was meant to be suspenseful or enthralling. The music worked really well with the overall performance and complimented the actors and singers. The use of sound effects was effective in enhancing the action, whether it was a gunshot or just a telephone ringing it all added to the sense of realism. The performance conveyed many themes and messages; the artist’s isolation, ambition, betrayal, escape, death, friendship, happiness and prejudice were all present in the production. The moral of

124

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

the performance was ‘the hero is brave in deeds as well as words.’ This specifically summarises the relationship between Stine and Stone; Stone shows his bravery through the case he is pursuing whilst Stine is brave through his use of the written word. City of Angels was a unique musical embodying both comedy and mystery. It was obvious that the production had been very well rehearsed. The choreography and movement of the actors was confident and they portrayed their characters with creativity. It was evident that the actors had created a tight bond between themselves and this contributed to the effective delivery of the performance. The humour and storyline made me leave the PAC with a smile. Philip Alex Year 8

Prof Baum of the Australian government was quoted identifying the value of arts and culture in the Arts and Health Foundation submission as saying “Art is what helps make a society from an economy. It builds communities, focusing the attention on the intangible but essential and celebrates beauty. Art nurtures passion and feelings. It enhances our daily lives and it enriches our relationships. In all cultures and in all kinds of situations people produce art even when they cannot satisfy their basic physical needs. Art is the core in promoting and influencing change, communicating with us on so many different levels, appealing to our senses, emotions, reasoning, language and imagination: invariably affecting us more than any other area of knowledge.”

Middle School House Competition

Towards the end of March the whole Middle School made their way to Bill Sewart Athletics Track in Burwood for the House Athletics Carnival. In near perfect conditions the competition between the Houses was fierce, with some great performances from the competitors of each House. Well done to Derham, who won the day from Bridgland and Summons.

As the year came to an end the Swimming Carnival was held at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. As with the House Athletics Carnival, competition was fierce and there were many close races and a few run away victories. Seated in the elevated stands on the poolside, boys enthusiastically cheered competitors as they powered through the water. Once more the lead changed a number of times during the day but on this occasion Derham just managed to pip Schofield and was announced victorious for their third competition of the year. All Middle School boys are to be commended for their contributions to House Sport this year. Their commitment and enthusiasm are instrumental to the program.

Middle School House Sport is a popular feature on the Middle School calendar and in 2016 each competition was hotly contested. Athletics, cross country, soccer, softball, swimming, basketball, volleyball, orienteering and tennis all featured in the Middle School House Sport program in 2016, but sadly some of the regular sports missed out this year due to adverse weather conditions. Most Friday afternoons in Term 1 were dedicated to House Sport, with teams playing each other in a range of different sports and preparing for the Athletics Carnival.

Mr Rhys Thomas Acting Director of Co-Curricular Activities

In the middle of August the Cross Country was held at Bulleen Park on a clear, sunny day. Ideal conditions resulted in notable performance from a number of boys. However once again Derham finished strongly on the day fending off a valiant effort from both Bridgland and Summons, who finished second and third respectfully.

House Sport The eight Houses competed in the Senior School House Sport Competition to win the coveted Jarrett Cup. The four major events included Athletics, two rounds of Quadrangulars and Cross Country. This year’s competition continued to highlight the remarkable skills and outstanding sportsmanship of the students at Camberwell Grammar.

Houses

The first event of 2016 was the Quadrangulars: Round 1, whereby students chose to participate in Badminton, Basketball or Table Tennis at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre or Swimming held at WaterMarc Banyule. The latter saw many of the School’s most accomplished swimmers competing against one another in a highly competitive display. For an amazing seventh consecutive year, Robinson House won the event. They were well led by Year 12 partisans, Josh Holding and Benjamin Chaffey, and were supported by James Hardingham Jamie Forwood and Henry Macdonald. Josh won his fourth individual gold medal, although he shared it with James Ramm (Clifford) this year. Other significant performers included Jake Oh (Clifford), Connor Xu (Summons) and Chris Kerdemelidis (Clifford) who each won their year level’s respective gold medals. At MSAC, Clifford won Basketball, thanks to the consistency of both their teams, while Bridgland easily accounted for the other Houses in Badminton. Finally, Table Tennis was a very even contest with only one Jarrett

Cup point separating the top four Houses; however, it was Summons who were victors of the tables. After accumulating all results, Robinson was crowned winners of this round of Quadrangulars. Athletics was next on the House Sport calendar. Held at Bill Sewart Athletics Track, we experienced near perfect weather and witnessed a variety of skill and athleticism. Standout performers included many of the School’s top runners. Of the sprinters, Matthew McKenna (Bridgland), David McColl (Summons), Dilina DeSilva (Steven) all excelled, while brothers and long distance specialists Lachlan and Jake Purcell (Derham) were prominent in their respective year levels. From Year 12, Justin Scales (Steven) won all three of his individual events and in doing so, upset three-time gold medalist Shaveen Kariyawasam (Schofield). Shaveen shared silver with Max Henderson (Macneil) who demonstrated his strength and power by winning both the discus and shot put. Clifford’s consistency throughout the day saw them crowned as Athletics champions of 2016. The penultimate event was the second round of Quadrangulars, held in the last week of Term 2. It involved Orienteering at Westerfolds Park, Volleyball on the JTO and Speedball and Soccer at Hislop Park. Enthusiasm levels were high at all venues, which created a spirited atmosphere. As a result, the final standings were

exceptionally close. Clifford and Steven shared the honours for Orienteering, while both Speedball and Soccer were both one on countbacks by Bridgland and Clifford respectively. Bridgland were also winners of Volleyball. However, after taking all results into consideration, consistency proved to be the key as Schofield House were winners of the Quadrangular despite not winning any of the individual events. House Cross Country moved to a different and more challenging course this year at Westerfolds Park. Students had to endure hills and changes in surfaces throughout the 3km course. Having said that, some students were still able to record exceptional times. Harrison Lucas (Robinson) and Hans Anjou (Bridgland) completed the course in under 11 minutes, averaging under 3.40min/km. Adrian Xu and Luke Ireland (both Clifford) were the dominant Year 11s; Adrian pipped Luke for gold by a mere three seconds. Peter Thorn (Robinson) and Harry McLeod (Clifford) also recorded impressive times, as did Lachlan Purcell and Thomas Graves (Derham), all under 11.13min. Robinson House were declared the winners; their consistency across all year levels remained far superior to their

rivals, winning by an astonishing nine Jarrett Cup points. For the second consecutive year, Robinson House claimed the Jarrett Cup by a noteworthy ten points. Congratulations to all members of the House and especially their House Captain, Hugh Emmett, House Prefects and Head of House, Mr David Rayner.

Senior School House Sport is a major element of the School year and a lot of work happens behind the scenes for it to occur. Thank you and congratulations to every student for their participation, organisation and sportsmanship. Also, thank you to every staff member that helped fulfil positions of responsibility throughout the four events. Your support and enthusiasm contributed greatly to the students’ fun and successes.

House Music

Houses

This year the annual House Music competition continued its reputation of being one of the most enjoyable showcases of the senior school boys’ talent. The event is unlike any other event on the school calendar as all boys in every House participate and contribute to their respective House’s performance. Each House must sing two songs: unison and part song, which all House members must partake in.

146

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

These are complemented by an instrumental piece, which is performed by a few nominated boys.

Whilst some boys stood up and took on leadership roles, I found the dedication from boys who were not necessarily very musically inclined to learn the songs and learn them well, just as impressive. Finally a big thank you, to all staff that helped out in the rehearsing process and on the night. Well done to Bridgland House on the win!

In preparation for the night, boys endured many weeks of 8.00am starts to ensure high quality performances. What I found most impressive about the quality of the music performed is that every piece is conducted and arranged by students, which is a very difficult task. The quality of these performances is a testament to the variety of Hans Anjou Year 12 talents at the school.

House Plays

Houses

Eight Houses, all alike in dignity, in fair Camberwell where we lay our scene. 400 years after the death of Shakespeare, Senior School students revive his work in Camberwell Grammar School’s House Plays 2016. Being one of the adjudicators, I was absolutely blown away with the high level of creativity and originality the students put into their performances. We had it all, from Bollywood dancing through to a heartbreaking adversity, which all came together for a night filled with humour and tragedy. Brilliant efforts were made by Macneil earning them their place on top with their biting satirical Modern Australian Macbeth. Robinson’s amusing piece of Othello closely followed with their especially eye catching staging. Bridgland’s rendition of Romeo and Juliet sent the audience into an emotional rollercoaster, with Will Woods’ Romeo rightly earning him Best Actor. Derham took a different approach by performing an entertaining segment of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream, with Felix Wang and Sahil Balgovind earning them Best Supporting Actors for their hilarious Bollywood style scene. It was a tight competition and amazing efforts were made by all the Houses. Schofield came fifth with their performance of Julius Caesar and their crowd scenes, followed by Clifford in sixth with their engaging opening scene from The Tempest. In seventh we had Summons’ comical piece of Twelfth Night, and Steven in eighth with Hamlet despite Miles Ormerod’s impressive Hamlet. I should add that it was extremely difficult for me and the other adjudicators to decide between plays as the level of accomplishment of all Houses was exceptional. Ammar Haque Drama Trainee

Houses

Bridgland At the start of the year Dr Hicks spoke to the Year 12 cohort declaring that this final year of theirs will be “the best of times” and yet equally “the worst of times.” For Bridgland House however, given the general excellence omnipresent within the group, applying that phrase to the performance of the House throughout 2016 means appropriately shortening it to: “The best of times.”

left was to place strongly in the instrumental section. Alas, however, with a trio consisting of Captain of Music Nathan Fong, Brian Kim and Jeffrey Liu, first position again was taken out with relative ease. That then meant when adjudicator Mr Richard Gill took to the stage and declared this year’s competition “a close one” he was simply propagating falsehoods.

Historically there has been a marked division between Bridgland’s performance in sporting and non-sporting events, with the latter being the strength of the House. As such, beginning the 2016 season of House events with Debating, Bridgland House was very much in its element. Both A Debating teams highlighted this through their consistent strong performance in the preliminary rounds, earning them both in a spot in the Grand Final against, in both cases, Robinson House. This ultimately allowed the House to fiercely defend its position as the intellectual realm of the school, beating Robinson House in both finals in two close debates. Congratulations is awarded to both teams consisting of Hamish McLean, Brian Kim and Hans Anjou in the Year 11/12 division and James Saligari, Christian Chene and Michael Tan in the Year 9/10 division. James Saligari also received the award of best speaker in the younger division.

The last House event was Cross Country which proves to be a challenge for many individuals given the endurance required to compete at the quick pace of the race. It was pleasing to see for the most part, all boys running out the race, collapsing over the finish line and thereby signifying the effort they put in. This saw Hans Anjou place third overall and Bridgland House finish fourth in this event.

This momentum carried on to the first round of Quadrangulars, coming first in Badmiton and second overall; Bridgland proving itself as a contender for not only the Prefects’ Cup but also the Jarret Cup. Following on from this was Athletics and yet again the House managed to perform. Standout performers included Matt McKenna in practically any running event and Hans Anjou once again performing strongly in the long and medium distance events. Overall this saw Bridgland place fourth in Athletics. Next was Round 2 of Quadrangulars, which saw dominance across both year groups in Speedball and Volleyball, coming first in the two events. This positioned the house to finish strongly coming third overall. As House Music rolled on and the early morning rehearsals began (sorry), the conductors for this year: Brian Kim and Hans Anjou, attempted to convert the House’s initial monotonous drool into a presentable harmony. The long rehearsals and consistent calls for the House to “sing louder” paid off however with Bridgland coming first in both the union and part song. This placed us in a strong position to take out the trophy, the only challenge 148

Overall, it was a strong performance for Bridgland throughout 2016, winning the Prefects’ Cup and equally placing strongly in the Jarret Cup. Hamish McLean Captain of Bridgland

Clifford

Houses

It was business as usual for Clifford this year, highlighting our dominance over the field. We started strongly, as to be expected, with the supreme word-smith skills of Caleb Yii coming to light in cementing our spot as the top dogs of House Debating. Next up came Quadrangulars, with everyone contributing to a stellar all-round performance. Hamish Webber proved to be our secret weapon in the pool, Fraser Mascitelli portrayed his prowess on the court, draining 17/18, from deep, throughout. Kevin Ngo put in a colossal performance in the table tennis and Leo Zhou proved pivotal in badminton. After last year’s lacklustre effort, athletics proved to be the defining event in this year’s calendar for Clifford. Terry Yan and Andres Greensmith displayed their prowess on the track, Thomas Lay showed us all that he could jump pretty high, and Jonathan Ong put on a show in the shotput. Robust performances all around led to a splendid victory, placing Clifford well above the rest in the overall standings. Quadrangulars, take two, again provided the opportunity for Clifford to illustrate our prowess, with dominating plays from Thackray and Zhu cementing Clifford’s place as the power House of the Senior School. Then came Cross Country, and despite a ‘solid’ turnout of less than half the Year 12s, the day was a notable success especially at Year 11 where we held first and second place. Music proved again that the lottery of single adjudicators can throw many surprises. Chess, on the other hand was more predictable, where practice and skill usually assure a win. Or in the case of Clifford, second. Drama was well looked after by Year 10 and 11 leaders of the future, raising the standard by two places better than 2015. Nice work boys! Big thanks to the House Prefects for doing a fine job all year, and big thanks to Vice Captain Caleb Yii for achieving many wonderful things. All the House Prefects were a massive help in organising and running House events, particularly House Music and Cross Country. Unfortunately, Clifford House will be losing Mr Fowler as a Tutor next year, as he moves on to bigger and better things. We thank him for his time and effort with us.

Derham Despite a lack of outright victories, 2016 has seen Derham have another successful year. In all events, cultural and sporting, along with a successful charity campaign for the RSPCA, the Derham boys came out strong and maintained the high standards set by previous years.

Houses

The year began with the House Debating competition, Derham as always made a strong presence, with the brand new Year 9 students, led by multiple bestspeaker Lachlan Melville, taking out the competition for their year level - a promising sign for years to come. The rest of the House performed strongly, and due to our consistency, Derham took out third place. The first round of Quadrangulars came next, as numerous ‘volunteers’ took to the pool to do their very best in this highly disliked event. The other sports proved to be more appealing, with the Year 9s demonstrating their dominance, taking out the Basketball competition with ease. On the Badminton court, first seed Felix Wang lead the 11/12 team to second place, culminating in a strong start to House Sport, leading on to the House Athletics competition. Lead primarily by the Year 9 and 11 students, Derham came out in a storm to come painstakingly close, finishing second overall. Notable performances came from the star-studded Year 9 Medley A team, who blitzed through the race, with Lachlan Purcell finishing strongly to take home first place. The most incredible individual achievement came in the Medley B Year 9 team, where prior to the final 400 metres, the team was coming seventh and looking defeated. However, Tom Graves stepped up in the final 400 metre stretch, overtaking all competitors to take first place in the race. With this strong result, the Jarrett Cup appeared in reach. The Derham House Charity event this year was led by Steven Chen, who represented the House while organising and out-baking

everyone in the RSPCA Cupcake Day in the Library early in Term 3. The event raised a total of $907 for animals in need, a great effort from all involved. Near the close of Term 2, the Derham boys rose early in the mornings to struggle to school in order to prepare our pieces for House Music. The competition was intense, but due to a fantastic effort from everyone in the House, our unison song ‘Counting Stars’, under the capable leadership of Vincent Zhu, came in at third place, and our part song, although described as “without a doubt the best piece of the night” by a certain ex-Director of Music, also came in at third place. I won’t mention our instrumental, but overall Derham came in at fourth place in the competition. Coming to the close of the year, Derham’s House Chess team secured a solid fifth position overall, under the solid leadership of Kevin Ren. The much-dreaded Cross Country day was also around this time, notable achievements being the ever-strong Year 9 cohort, from whom Lachlan Purcell and Tom Graves shone while taking out first and second place respectively, and the Year 11s, led by Jake Purcell, also proved to be a capable force on the course. With House Drama drawing near, there was no doubt that under the leadership of Oscar Crittenden, Derham’s adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream would be highly placed. Riding off our 2015 victory in the competition, many of the same actors took to the stage to secure another strong placing for the boys in red. Congratulations to all members of the House on a fantastic year, best of luck to Lachlan Melville and his faithful company of House Prefects in 2017. I know Derham will continue to succeed.

Macneil Macneil once again emerged as the ‘Golden House’ with limitless enthusiasm, coming off the back of a successful year. We were bound for success. It is safe to say that despite not attaining the results we had aspired, Macneil is a House that prides itself on the participation and involvement of all members and this was certainly a success this year.

Houses

Whilst teamwork and comradeship are sure to be commended it would be wrong to neglect the stand out performances of certain individuals. Notably, our valiant Chess team led by our very own master of the game David Han achieving a podium finish. Similar success was found later in the year thanks to the angelic voices of eighty passionate students combining in perfect harmony under the esteemed leadership of Harry Dempsey and Harry Speagle. The two songs chosen by Macneil this year were without a doubt two of the most ‘technically difficult’ ever attempted in the competition; however, with countless 8.00am rehearsals, the boys were able to secure a well-deserved second place for our part song ‘Scarborough Fair’ and a final placing of fifth. Macneil also displayed its competence on the sporting field with our brave and talented athletes filling the stands of the Burwood athletics track. Yet, despite the potential that was evident throughout the year levels and determined efforts from every able student, 2016 was simply not Macneil’s year. On reflecting about the year, I must comment on the amazing support I was given by the House Prefects, who were ably assisted by other Year 12 who had to step into roles and responsibilities not normally expected of them. I would also like to highlight the importance of the astute leadership from our passionate Head of House, Mr Green along with our House tutors who guided us every step of the way through the highs and lows of 2016 and who made the year memorable not necessarily with trophies but through team spirit. With the spirit and talent displayed by the boys this year, the future of Macneil looks bright and I wish you all the best for the years to come. Pierre Bougeois Captain of Macneil

Robinson 2016 saw yet another fantastic year for the mighty green House, winning the Jarrett Cup and performing strongly in the Prefects’ Cup.

Houses

The year started extremely well as our debaters bravely battled their way to finish in a very respectable second place, with the Year 11/12 team finishing equal first and the Year 9/10s team finishing second. It was great to see the overwhelming interest and participation which resulted in many of the teams changing from round to round in order to give everyone a go. The first round of Quadrangulars saw Robinson continue our strong start, once again finishing top three in all sports and an overall first. Stand out sportsmen for were Suva Pokharel on the badminton court, Daniel Jiang in table tennis, Lachie Powell on the basketball court and our illustrious Captain of Games, Josh Holding, in the swimming pool. At the House Athletics, Robinson finished fifth, with the Year 12 group winning their level convincingly, led by Harrison Lucas and Josh Holding. The green machine also combined well during the second round of Quadrangulars, notably in the Speedball, where Robinson won the trophy after consistent efforts from both Year 9/10 and 11/12 teams. The 9/10 Soccer team also won their division, bolstered by recent Year 9 recruits including Henry MacDonald, George Kalargyros, Joseph Lai and Niko Verrios. Once again Robinson were unlucky with the judge’s verdict for House Music, however, other Prefects’ Cup competitions were more successful. Robinson finished third overall in chess, thanks to Henry Wu for some great management on the day and an even better performance in his games. House Drama was again a highlight, with Finn McGrath and Aidan MacLennan mobilising a outstanding cast and crew to deliver one of the most sophisticated and professional productions seen at a House level. Highly entertaining, superbly acted and technically advanced, the play narrowly missed out winning, judged second on the night but receiving universal praise. This placed Robinson second overall in the Prefects’ cup, only two points behind Bridgland. Heading into the final Jarrett Cup event, Cross Country, Robinson needed to win to overtake Clifford. In a mighty display, all year levels responded brilliantly, with Years 156

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

9 and 12 winning and Year 10 and 11 also in the top three. Individual honours went to Peter Thorn and Harrison Lucas, who both won their respective races, but it was the efforts of the lesser known runners who all improved on their 2015 results and delivered a resounding victory. Robinson scored 29 out of a possible 32 Jarrett Cup Points to seal the trophy. Our annual House charity was once again the Robinson Street Soccer Tournament, which was organised by Harrison Verrios and Jonno Thorn. Once again the tournament was a huge success which raised over $1,100 for the Clontarf Foundation, an organisation which helps supports Aboriginal students. I would like to thank the House for a wonderful year, in particular the House Prefects and Mr Rayner for making the year run smoothly and making my job very easy. I wish the House all the best for next year and for the future. Go Robinson! Hugh Emmett Captain of Robinson

Houses

Once again Schofield began the year being underestimated. There seems to be this preconceived idea of Schofield being easy competition, so this year was about proving the other Houses wrong. As always, House Debating kicked off the year to a great start. It was most impressive seeing the likes of Tim Edney and Philippe Phan stepping up to the A grade game and participating in the Year 12 Debating competition. New comers to the House such as Ryan Box, Daniel Bowers and Jasper Guthrie proved their talent in public speaking early, showing great signs for success in the future. Hats off to Mr Williams for doing a fine job in coordinating the event. The Quadrangular events throughout the year saw greater improvements than the previous years. The best part about working with such a great bunch of people is the willingness to participate – it’s not easy to allocate 92 boys across four year levels to their ideal sport, so it was great to see students taking one for the team and putting their hand up to fill those last minute gaps that were needed (mainly for the swimming events). The results of the second round of Quadrangulars were pleasing, seeing Schofield coming first overall for the event, a true reflection of everyone’s participation and commitment to get us the win. Following the first round of Quads came House Athletics. The House went in confidently, knowing that the likes of Shaveen Kariyawasam and Tom Lombardi were set to impress. Throughout the day, the House was kept in suspense with the knowledge of Schofield’s overall lead, which was unfortunately lost during the relays. Despite this, there is definitely potential for the coming years for Schofield to take out its first athletics victory in a while. House Music is an event that particularly troubles Schofield. In my time, Schofield had come last two out of the three times, so it was particularly important to this year’s House Leaders to try and improve this result. Very special mention to Lewis Wagstaff and Sean Halley, as well as Joseph Hao and Oliver Wong who were this year’s conductors and pianists respectively. It is great to see boys from the years below stepping up to the mark and defying the view that only Year 12s can lead in such events, however, Schofield once again came in at eighth place. Cross Country draws a conclusion to the year for the class of 2016. It wasn’t easy 158

going into the competition knowing that Schofield was out to defend its title of first place from 2015. However, the House was hurt by the loss of a star runner, 2017 Captain Alastair Haslam, who could not participate due to injury. Nonetheless, the boys fought it out and came it at a close second, proving that the combined effort of everyone is really what is needed. It’s been a pleasure being the 2016 Captain. I could not have been prouder of all these boys for their efforts throughout the year. No other House has the ‘vibe’ that Schofield has – where tutor groups are literally combined, and in one room you could listen to Mr Collins’ rants about Cross Country and Triathlons, with Mr Hone offering nothing short of great life advice. Special mention to Mr Dowley who won’t be with the House next year. You will be missed by all, and the House wishes you all the best in your journey. I have every faith that Schofield will continue with its pride and success as the years go by. I couldn’t have asked to be a part of a better House. Curtis Hopkins Captain of Schofield

Steven 2016 has proven a very eventful year indeed for the boys in Steven House with all members of the House tackling every challenge with great spirit and determination, culminating in many House and personal successes across the Jarrett and Prefects’ Cup competition.

Houses

Launching into Round 1 of Quadrangulars, Steven had the chance to gauge our strengths and weaknesses through a mixed bag of results. We excelled in some areas, such as placing third in Badminton, and unluckily fell off in others where the result didn’t reflect the effort put in by the boys. A special mention must go to Jacob Hunting who won a Silver medal for swimming - a brilliant effort. Ultimately we placed sixth, which whilst not our best performance, was an improvement on last year. Similarly, in Debating we placed fifth – a strong showing with encouraging signs for next year with impressive performances from Year 9, 10 and 11 students under the leadership of House Vice Captain Michael Liu. Term 2 proved a significant challenge and there is much room for improvement in both Athletics and Quads in terms of final placings, but again the high participation rate and effort must be acknowledged. Term 3 began with a real focus on re-staking our claim as a House which embraces all challenges, and the boys were motivated more than ever to finish the year off on a high – and that we did! With the last competitions being Chess, Music, Drama and Cross Country, the

160

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

boys looked to give it their all, the fortitude of which was clearly seen. In Cross Country, Steven placed third, only a point behind second place in this gruelling event, which is no easy task. Then in House Chess, Steven went back to back placing first again with all year levels performing exceptionally well as both the Year 9/10 and 11/12 level divisions finished first, perhaps a sign that House Chess will remain in Steven’s dominion for years to come. Finally, arguably one of the most competitive and demanding competitions throughout the year, House Music turned out to be a huge success for Steven as we transformed those first few squeaks into musical magic, overall attaining third place, just narrowly missing second by less than a point, a great achievement especially on the 50th anniversary of the competition. Great, amazing, enjoyable, these are only some of the words to describe the year that we have had, where year after year we aim to be a better House, and undoubtedly with hard work and a positive attitude, the trend of improvement will continue, where team work makes the dream work. Best wishes to the future leadership team and Steven House in 2017. George Wang Captain of Steven

Summons The best Blue House at CGS welcomed new tutors Mr Bunting and Mr Victor to the Western Wing of the Wheelton Centre in 2016, to join an already esteemed team, under the caring leadership of Ms Norris.

Houses

The year began with the annual Summons House Gelati Day, in support of the White Ribbon Foundation, raising well over our goal of $1,000. In terms of House competition, we had consistent and positive performances across all year levels; Mac Hill, Brandon Lam and Eric Fan eloquently led our Senior debating squad, while Luc Raszewski, representing the 9/10 team, was persuasive in and outside of the classroom… Semester 1 also saw the first round of Quads and the House Athletics day. Opportunities aplenty for our myriad of athletes to shoot, swim and run themselves into first place - despite Ms Norris’ dependable reminder that “It’s not all about winning… but coming first is always nice!” We managed a highly respectable third place, and after winning the table tennis component of Quads, Summons wrapped up a well-balanced and successful semester. Term 3 saw continued House Music rehearsals; following a first place finish last year, our conductors, James Gordon and Brandon Lam were determined to create a mini-musical dynasty. A great success, ‘Start Again’, and our instrumental item ‘Married Life’ both earned second place, and contributed largely to our overall second placing. It was a pleasure to witness the way each boy in the House came together to create a success with ‘Penny Lane’, after James was unfortunately unable to continue conducting. Special mention to Mac Hill, who stepped in ably leading our

162

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

choir, making the most of the tireless arrangement James had done in the lead up to the event. As term 3 drew to a close, we embarked on the last overall events of the year; Chess - a tradition at CGS, be it the song or the sport, along with the second round of Quads, and the House Cross Country. Our boys poured everything into each event, and an equal fourth placing in Cross Country demonstrated this; individual highlights included Ryan Fitzgerald in third place and brother, Jack with a fifth place finish. Thanks again must be attributed to our wonderful Tutors and Head of House who have and continue to support all the boys in everything they strive for both within, and outside the House. Additionally, to the House prefects who have been a wonderful team to work with this year. Congratulations to Matthew James (House), Edward Tan (Music) and Michael Joseffson (Publications), who have been appointed Prefects of the School for 2017, and will no doubt lead Summons to even more success.

Year 7 Lord Somers Camp On Monday the 7 March, all of Year 7 arrived at school rearing and ready to go to the legendary Lord Somers camp. We had heard of the many wonders awaiting us, including kayaking, snorkelling and the camp out. We all prayed for good weather. How wrong we were… We arrived to a steady drizzle, and immediately began to settle into our accommodation for the week. The first activities were not until the next morning, so the (I’m sure very tired) teachers saw us off to bed. The next day, a number of students got up for an early morning jog along the beach, led by the very fit Mr Wyatt. After a brekkie of sausage, eggs and pikelets, we all headed off to our first activity some of which included surf lifesaving, for which we had beautiful weather, snorkelling, for which we had atrocious weather for, raft building and Indigenous connections, which involved learning about the various plants and animals, and how they fit into Aboriginal culture. But, the most intense activity of them all was the camp out!

Middle School Camps After packing the bare essentials (yes boys, this means no hair gel), we set out for our campsite via kayak. Unfortunately the ocean was rather choppy and, as such, several people ended up capsizing on the way. We eventually arrived soaking wet and exhausted. At this point, we thought the worst was behind us. That was until we were tossed a can of chicken, a packet of couscous and trangia. It seemed that dinner was served!

Camps and Tours

After an incredibly long night of horror stories told by torch light, we were all ready to hike back. After visiting a haunted house, playing an old piano, and taking several wrong turns (seemingly on purpose) we were back at the main camp. With an amazing sausage sizzle to wrap up our great, but damp, Lord Somers Camp experience we arrived back at school slightly sunburn and with hours of sleep to catch up on. A huge thank you to all the organisers, group leaders and especially the teachers who gave up their whole week to make sure we had a great time. Aidan Harris and James Stambe

51st Tasmania Trek Camps and Tours

At the conclusion of the school year a group of Year 8 students make their way to Tasmania to undertake a multi-day hike through dramatic and stunning coastal bush land. Equipped with sufficient food and equipment for five days in remote bush land, the group set out from Fortescue Bay on Saturday 10 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 had come back into view and it was time to locate the campsite for the first night. Recent track works paved a clear path to a comfortably situated campsite, complete with sleeping platforms. Pleased to set packs down, everyone eagerly set to pitching tents and preparing dinner.

Year 8 Surf Camp

During the last week of November, Year 8 students made their way to southwest Victoria for the Year 8 Kangaroobie Camp. Run 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 a number of different routes in the Otway Forest Park and Great Otway National Park, carrying all their equipment and preparing all their meals. Some groups travelled through bush land near Gellibrand whilst others made their way along the coastline near Cape Otway Lighthouse. 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.

Senior School Camps Year 9 Camp Program

Camps and Tours

The Year 9 Camp Program presented students with a diverse range of experiences again this year. Eight different camps were offered and groups journeyed through a range of different environments around Australia. The diversity of camp options enabled students to select a camp that both interested and suited them. With so many options, group sizes rarely extended beyond twenty-five. The smaller group sizes not only facilitated a greater connection between students, staff and activity leaders but, also allowed groups to journey through areas of wilderness that are not accessible to larger groups. Groups trekked on camels through the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, negotiated rapids in canoes on the Clarence River in northern New South Wales, sea kayaked around North and South Stradbroke Island in Queensland, sailed maxi yachts around the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, explored the extensive network of caves at Wee Jasper in southern New South Wales, tried a range of outdoor activities on the Multi Activity Camp in the Brisbane Ranges National Park, rock climbed at Mount Arapiles and engaged in community service activities with the Brotherhood of St Laurence in Fitzroy. Each camp challenged students to move beyond their comfort zone and to learn about their own ability to cope in challenging and unfamiliar situations.

Whilst most Camberwell boys were off, relaxing and enjoying their last few days of the holidays, 19 students from the Camberwell Grammar Sport Swimming Team accompanied by Mr Meachem, Mr Robinson and Mr Watson headed to the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra to partake in a week long camp, aiming to give Camberwell the edge come AGSV Finals. There were many highpoints of the tour but the buffet dining hall was generally the highlight for most boys. The food served was always tasty and met the needs of the hungry boys who had just finished a training session or lecture. Apart from the dining hall, the whole AIS complex was amazing. It was awesome and exciting to see state of the art facilities and how professional athletes trained. The lectures, held by AIS staff, were always interesting and educational with all the boys learning something new each lecture. These lectures also allowed the team to see some of the biomechanics of sport, something that intrigued most swimmers. Although the training sessions were tough at times, the boys enjoyed swimming in nice pools and the recovery centres. The whole AIS experience was breathtaking as understanding the ropes of professional sport got many boys picturing themselves training as an elite athlete at the AIS in years to come.

After two years of advance preparation and tremulous anticipation, the Latin Tour 2016 at last took flight over the September break. Thirty Year 10 and 11 Latin students, led by Dr Tebb Kusserow, Mr John Tuckfield, Mr James Victor and Dr David Bird, embarked on an epic nineteen-day journey through two wondrous lands of the ancient Mediterranean, Italy and Croatia. Straight from the plane into the laneways of Rome we dashed, winding our way along the Tiber River, pausing every so often at monuments such as the Altar of Peace, with its exquisitely crafted sculptural reliefs of the first Roman emperor Augustus and his family. The following morning found us gazing awestruck up at the towering tiers of the Colosseum, once home to spectacular gladiatorial games, and, come afternoon,

exploring the grand courtyards of the emperor Domitian’s palace on the adjacent Palatine Hill. Greeting Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square, scaling the 550 steps of St. Peter’s Cupola – the tallest dome on the planet – and pouring over the extraordinary collections of the Vatican Museums, culminating with Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, made the next day memorable indeed. Further visits to the country estate of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, the enormous Baths complex of the Emperor Caracalla, a subterranean catacomb, the sprawling ancient port of Roman Ostia, and much more, rounded out our experience of Rome and its archaeological treasures.

The Frecciarosa bullet train then sped us southward at over 300 km/h to Naples Bay. Here Pompeii and Herculaneum, the cities buried by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, awaited exploration. Open for the first time were the Herculaneum boatsheds, crammed with the skeletons of three hundred unfortunate souls who failed to escape Vesuvius’ scorching pyroclastic surges. The next day we hopped aboard a hydrofoil heading to the beautiful offshore island

After a morning wander through Naples Museum and some awestruck moments contemplating the most famous mosaic of the ancient world, depicting Alexander the Great at the Battle of Issus, it was back to Rome once more. We caught a flight at sunset across the Adriatic Sea to Croatia.

Camps and Tours

None of us had ever visited Croatia before, and what a treat it was. The ancient town of Split, built in, over, and around the palace of the Emperor Diocletian, proved an enticing archaeological jigsaw puzzle, and its museum, chock full of fascinating inscriptions and valuable finds, a rare gem. We then set sail on a three-day cruise on our own chartered ketch down the Dalmatian coast: sparkling limestone bluffs, aquamarine inlets, picturesque terracotta-roofed towns, and a hair-raising afternoon of ziplining at 80 km/h over vast mountain gorges 150 metres below. Arriving in Dubrovnik, we marvelled at the massive city walls that have resisted bombardment through the ages, first by cannonballs and artillery shells, and then presently by the hordes of tourists that flock to glimpse the film set locations for the popular Game of Thrones series. Dizzy with jet lag and the exhilaration of three marvellous weeks together, we returned at last to Melbourne, our family and friends with a much expanded appreciation of the ancient Roman world and new confidence in our capacity to engage with it. To all those whose efforts made the adventure so rewarding – a much deserved thank you! Dr Tebb Kusserow Head of Latin

Sport Report

Sport

The opening of the new Sport Centre is just around the corner, following two years of construction. What a momentous occasion it will be! Camberwell Grammar School proudly hosts 27 sports so it is fitting that its sporting facilities reflect the outstanding Sport program that the school provides. All four levels of this impressive building house state-of-the-art facilities for the diversity of Sports offered. Some of the notable features include: a double indoor basketball court; a 50 metre swimming pool that can be divided into two 25 metre pools; a learn to swim pool; a recovery room with two ice baths; and a gymnasium with functional equipment for all abilities that leads out on to a brand new Keith Anderson Oval (KAO) surface that is not only plush but holds several goal posts for that famous kick-to-kick. With unrivalled amenities, Camberwell is the home for school sport in Melbourne! The excitement of our new facility was matched this year by many outstanding achievements both on and off the field. Eight senior premierships, two runners up and the introduction of Archery and Baseball were just some of the highlights of what was another memorable year for students enjoying the Camberwell Sport Program. The senior Water Polo team was aiming for a back-to-back premierships and they didn’t disappoint. Mr Double and Captain Josh Holding led the team through an undefeated season and the intermediate team had a strong season also. These fantastic results, coupled with growing interest (CGS entered three junior teams for the second year in a row) and the fact that the new pool can accommodate this great sport, will ensure the strength of Water Polo in the coming years.

Badminton continues to flourish with over 80 students and ten teams in the summer program. Camberwell won its 16th AGSV premiership and with very solid ‘bookends’ (Felix Wang in Year 12 and Otto Zhao in Year 7), the team looks likely to continue its success. The courts at Blackburn are a world-class facility and training in the new Sport Centre from 2017 will be an added luxury for our badminton players. Table Tennis won their 15th AGSV Premiership and with one Year 10 (Michael Tan) and two Year 8 students (Nathan Shi and Ethan Tang) in the team, they are likely to terrorise their competitors for a long time to come. The squad is counting down the days until they have their last training session in the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) basement and move in to the new Sport Centre, which will cater for 18 tables and the whole of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria (AGSV) competition from 2017 onwards. It was wonderful to see former Firsts Coach Melissa Taper perform admirably in the recent Rio Olympics and become the first Australian to compete in both the Olympics and Paralympics. How do you stop a 25-year dominance of a sport? Send in Dr Rodgers and the Camberwell Orienteering Squad, that’s how. Camberwell defeated Scotch for the first time in over 25 years with victory in the Victorian Interschool’s Orienteering Competition. The squad consists of students in Divisions 1 through to 5 and they compete throughout the summer season on Wednesday evenings in venues across Eastern Metropolitan Melbourne. Led by Captain Josh Wu and Vice-Captain Justin Scales, the team accumulated points from all divisions to claim their maiden victory over their archrival. Is it the end of an era? Nick Wong, Nick Hui and Harry Dempsey won their third Bob Poulton trophy in four attempts. Lawn Bowls not only has enjoyed these boys’ skill, but the undying support and expert coaching from Mr Ian Feder who, after seven years, has decided to step down. We thank him for his commitment to Camberwell Sport and his dedication to every student who has played Lawn Bowls during that time. The squad moves

back to MCC Kew Heights now to start a new season with a new coach and a new direction. Robbie Aardoom, Ed Lovick, Andrew Holloway, Callum Gosbell…what do these names have in common? They have all represented Camberwell Grammar and Australia in Kayaking. The Kayaking squad do it tough, training out at Fairfield twice a week and competing at several meets in and around the rivers of Victoria. However this didn’t stop Callum leading from the front this season to claim a narrow victory from archrival Trinity in the annual Victorian Schools Canoe Championships. Futsal continues to grow within the community but Camberwell and Trinity are still sole competitors in the AGSV; fortunately, both schools put in at least three teams each during the winter season. The premierships have been shared over the years until this year when Camberwell went back-to-back for the first time since the competition began over five years ago. Students can only join the sport at Year 11 and so a hat trick of premierships for this particular team is out of the question. However, with home court advantage next year, a new Camberwell team is likely to take over the realm. It was a close call for two of our more recently successful sports, Triathlon and Fencing. Both squads finished in second place behind new schools to their respective sports. Triathlon had to contend with St Bedes while Fencing faced the might of Scotch. Both competitions have enjoyed premierships over the last few years and will strive for that mantle again in 2017. Hockey had a disruptive season due to the reduction in space on the infamous Jack Tobias Oval (JTO) limiting their training options. The Firsts could only manage third position but the future of the sport is looking bright after the Year 7A team went through the season undefeated. Soccer continues to be the most populated sport with over 400 students participating in the program. The Firsts had to move their home games to Box Hill United’s home ground and they finished off their season in seventh position. The Intermediate A team (consisting of some of the most talented Year 9 and 10 players) finished in third position, demonstrating the future potential of Soccer in the next few years. With home games moving back to the KAO, students are keen for season 2017. Tennis will have a new home soon following the purchase and construction of Leason Street near Hays Paddock. This, coupled

with Deepdene, the newly resurfaced JTO and Koonung Secondary College, will see Tennis enjoy state-of-the-art facilities from now and into the future. The Firsts finished in seventh position but with the 8As finishing first and the 9As second, the future looks promising. Volleyball continues to grow at the school and with the new Sport Centre housing two volleyball courts the school will be well placed to take the sport to the next level. The seniors finished in fifth position last season but with a new coach next season the squad is looking towards bigger and better things. Basketball is the biggest summer sport at Camberwell Grammar, with close to 24 teams across the six year levels. The Firsts finished in sixth place this season with a couple of matches going down to the last shot. Captain Jack Perry received a scholarship at Eastern Washington University and, together with Vice-Captain Aden Stitz, made the starting line-up for the AGSV team to play against the Associate Public Schools of Victoria (APS). The 8As finished second in their competition and look likely to bolster the Firsts team in the near future. Football had an interesting season with only one ground available at Gordon Barnard. The top oval was out of action and with the KAO gone as well, training was difficult at times. The Firsts finished ninth while the 8As shone, narrowly missing the premiership when they lost their last game and finished in second position. Good luck to Josh Daicos in the National Draft as he aims to emulate his father at the Collingwood Football Club.

became quite ill and were unable to play. The 10As finished fourth and will assist the Firsts next season as they make their way back out on to the new KAO. Squash is enjoying the new Squash Victoria competition and is competing against some very strong club teams. Camberwell entered seven teams. Whilst the Firsts finished in fifth position, the Seconds lost to Marcellin in the Grand Final after a very close match. The team will hopefully move to the new Grace Park facility in 2017.

My thanks must also be extended to the ‘Friends of’ groups who provide invaluable support. Whilst many of CGS’s elite athletes have been mentioned in this report, it is the student body at large, with its combined commitment, determination and sportsmanship, which has enabled the Sport program to flourish in 2016. Thank you all for your contribution.

In the past the winter season has seen some great results from the likes of the Hockey teams, Cross Country squad and Futsal teams. This year was no exception.

third, fourth and fifth in their competition whilst the Intermediate teams had a tough season coming up against stronger opposition each week.

The First Hockey team, full of young talent, had a strong season but unfortunately was unable to make the grand final but none the less a strong result. Hugh Emmett led the team with strong vocal leadership assisting many newcomers to the team. The likes of Charlie Harper and Nicholas Gooden are positive signs for the future with the duo’s skills with the ball creating many scoring opportunities. Overall the team finished the season with six wins and two losses in the home and away season and unfortunately lost both finals to see them claiming fourth place.

The Athletics squad was keen to have another successful year against the best athletes across the other eight AGSV schools. The team was led, week in and week out, by the impressive performances from Harrison Lucas, who continually improved over 800 and 1500 metres. He lay the stepping stones for the likes of Jimmy Smith and Matthew Hobson to follow, with all three receiving individual medals at the finals. In the shorter events, Dilina DeSilva was electric, finishing the AGSV finals with four medals from four events. Matthew James and Terry Yan were prolific in the 100 and 200m winning Silver and Bronze medals in their respective races, whilst Robert West recorded an unbelievable long jump result over six metres. The team finished seventh overall but was one of the toughest competitions in recent years with many schools having very strong athletes in large numbers.

The 7A Hockey team also showed great signs for future years for Camberwell’s hockey stocks. The team went undefeated throughout the year and won games with conviction.

The Table Tennis team went through the season unbeaten with Michael Tan, Joe Chen and Daniel Jiang leading the boys throughout the season. This took the Table Tennis team to its seventh Premiership in eight years. The Badminton team made it a third straight Premiership, and the 12th Premiership in the past 14 years. The Triathlon squad attempted to go back to back in the Boys’ Schools Championship this season, after an outstanding performance last season. This year a big influx of new triathletes in the middle school saw a much larger team take shape. Unfortunately this was matched with St Bedes neutralising the competition with an even larger squad. Despite monumental efforts by Peter Thorn, Harry Swingler, Lachlan Waycott and Pierre Bougeois the team had to settle with second position. The CGS Swim team hoped to finish better than last years seventh position at the AGSV Finals night. The team was aided by the introduction of a strong under 13 group which won many medals on the night. Strong performances from Connor Xu, James Forwood, Jasper Fodor and Dylan Lay saw the team finish the night third overall, a fantastic achievement.

The Cross Country squad had a strong season, finishing the season in fifth place.

A number of close gamevs fell towards the opposition but a number of great wins also fell the way of CGS. Kaspar Scheiber led from the front, assisted by Pierre Bougeois, Jack Vitinaros, Jesse Ward and Andres Greensmith. There were some high expectations for the Senior Water Polo team following last year’s premiership. The team was up for the challenge, with impressive wins seeing the team finish the season undefeated and claiming the 2016 Premiership. The team was driven by the strong defence of Projit Banerjee, James Ramm and Will Exon, who would then set up the likes of scoring machines Chris Kerdemelidis and Aaron Campbell.

Sport Report

Congratulations to all teams and students for what was a positive year of sport, with many results boding well for the future, especially with the new Sports Centre which will only improve Camberwell’s sporting ability. Josh Holding Captain of Games MULTI-SKILL DEVELOPMENT The MSD Squad approached the season with all the nous that modern sports science could muster, by first laying a solid foundation, before tackling the varied challenges of a number of ball sports. Physical strength and endurance were developed in the school gymnasium: as well as the sporting mind, with a number of whiteboard sessions and sports history lessons. Once the boys took to the field, basketball proficiency was apparent, as well as some silky skills in The World Game. While the round ball caused little concern, the ellipsoidal equivalent of Australian and Rugby Football took some getting used to. Nonetheless, gradual improvement in all codes was pleasing to see. Squad performance was strong from the start, and despite a lull in form during a wet July, team morale was flying high by the end of the season. The rounds culminated in a hard fought Tri-Series classic arranged by Coach Sophia, followed by a well earned team breakfast. Having finished the season undefeated, that classic moniker “The Invincibles” must surely be applied to the most successful CGS squad of the 2016 Winter Season.

Athletics

Sport

The 2016 Athletics season was led by Captain Daniel Straw and Vice Captains Terry Yan and Benjamin Chaffey. Once again, the Doncaster Athletics Track was used as ‘home base’ with bi-weekly training sessions and weekly trial events held over a six-week period leading up to the finals. Encouragingly, there were plenty of new faces in the squad, with a number of new Year 7 students taking on the challenge as well as several senior athletes returning from absence to add depth to the team. New coaches were also taken on board, with four-time Olympian Craig Mottram adding his experience and enthusiasm to the Middle Distance squad and long-time head coach Efim Shuravetsky returning to work with the sprinters. As the season progressed, it was again encouraging to see many boys improving their times and distances as they responded to the challenges of training and competition. Healthy participation was evident across all disciplines, with even traditionally less popular events such as

discus attracting good numbers at training, where the likes of Matthew Perri, Ryan Box, Fin Sampson and Jamie Forwood led the way. Whilst many of the squad aimed to earn selection in the finals team, it was also particularly encouraging to see many simply improving their own personal bests. Divjot Walia’s enthusiastic participation deserves special mention in this regard. As the finals approached, the squad met for one last internal trial session at Doncaster on Friday 2 September. In excess of 90 boys attended these trials and there was healthy competition for places in many events, which flowed on to strong performances the following week.

Outstanding individual efforts that must be acknowledged were: • Dilina DeSilva, who earned the R.H. Lohn Cup for the Outstanding CGS Athlete of the Day, winning four medals on the day and earning Full Colours for Athletics. • Jimmy Smith, who was the sole gold medallist for CGS. • Taran Laurence, who won three medals from his four events. • Matthew James, who led the Under 17 sprinting ranks, earning medals in 100m and 200m.

Baseball Under 17 Baseball

Sport

Camberwell’s combined Baseball team with the North Balwyn Baseball Club’s Hornets has been a successful first ever run this season. With the collaboration of Coach Jeremy Young, the Under 17s made great improvements throughout this year’s first season of baseball. For most of the members of the team from Camberwell, this was their first experience of baseball and had to learn everything from scratch. They saw many great feats considering they played against much more experienced, professional clubs. The boys consistently turned up to Thursday training session, the weekend matches and sometimes even over the holidays, which allowed them to quickly pick up the complicated rules of the game. The extended winter season of baseball really allowed for the boys to progress in the sport. As a beginner, Darcy Eccles has been an excellent member of the team who never fails to surprise with consistency in both batting and fielding. He is one of the most improved players in the team and his reliability this winter season has been second-to-none. Tommy Clayton’s ability to pick up the game and consistently try to hit the ball has allowed many runs to be obtained throughout the matches. Coulston Waycott has also seen improvements in his fielding, catching multiple fly balls out in right field throughout the season. Aidan Pearson, the veteran baseball player, has been a tremendous factor in the Hornet’s victories, with his pitching, batting and fielding prowess. Matt Katsoulotos, who gained confidence batting and also regularly took on the all-important position of first base,

contributed to a significant number of ‘outs’ during the season. All of the players from Camberwell have played extremely well this winter and only just missed out competing in the play-offs. A special mention goes to Mr Watson for initiating this new baseball venture by coordinating with the North Balwyn Baseball Club. This innovation allows the Camberwell students to benefit from a wider range of winter sports. Credit also goes to staff members who were able to unify the school and NBBC for us. Hopefully in the future, baseball will continue to grow and we will be able to have full Camberwell Grammar teams playing in the competition for years to come. Jordan Ly Assistant Manager

Under 15 Baseball This year Camberwell Grammar combined with the North Balwyn Baseball Club to set up baseball as a school sport. The North Balwyn Wasps consisted of Under 15 Camberwell Grammar students and were accompanied by two coaches Justin Limburg and Alicia Pentreath. Even though baseball was new to a majority of the squad, with the help of the two coaches we were able to see improvements in their level of play every week. The Under 15s managed to play extremely well considering that they played against teams that consisted of players with three to four years of baseball experience.

Sport

The Under 15s played a total of sixteen games this season and won four, drew four and lost eight, which placed them fourth overall out of seven teams. By finishing fourth, this qualified them for the play-offs. In the play-offs, the team took on the first placed team Knox/Waverley, who had only dropped two games all season long. The boys fought very hard but unfortunately weren’t able to come out with a win losing 2-12. In spite of the fact that the Under 15s weren’t able to make the finals, making top four was still an outstanding achievement given that most of the boys learnt the game from scratch this season. All of the players from Camberwell played extremely well this season but special mentions would have to go to Sam Leong, Andy Zeng, Jordan McCleery and Andrew Phan. Sam Leong was very consistent with the bat all season long and was the only member of the Under 15 Wasps to hit a home run. Jordan and Andrew both took on the role of pitching this season. These two started a majority of the games and pitched very well, giving the team a good chance to win games. Andy Zeng also stood up and took on catching, which is one of the most difficult positions to play in baseball and he definitely did not disappoint. Titus Lin Assistant Manager

Badminton AWARDS CGS Champion Felix Wang

First IV Badminton The First IV Badminton Team finished the season exceptionally well. The team of Conrad So, Steven Guo, Kevin Yu, Otto Zhao, Alex Chen and Benjamin Chen under the leadership of their Captain Felix Wang competed very strongly, dominating all of its matches, and achieving very impressive results. It won all of its matches and retained the AGSV Badminton Premiership Cup for another year.

The thrill of winning the AGSV Badminton Premiership for the 16th time in the past 25 years was even more exhilarating when it was later announced that Felix Wang and Otto Zhao had been selected as members of the 2016 AGSV Boys’ Representative Badminton Squad and that Felix Wang was to be the team’s Captain. This AGSV team later comprehensively defeated the APS Boys’ Representative team 9 rubbers to 3. This was the first time in five years that the AGSV had defeated the APS in Boys’ Badminton.

Every member of the team displayed excellent sportsmanship and represented the School proudly throughout the season. The team was very appreciative of the combined efforts of its coach Mr Nick Ong for his contribution and dedication, without As in previous years, the strongest which the squad would not have achieved opposition came from Ivanhoe, PEGS and as much as it did. We wish next year’s Yarra Valley against whom they competed twice during the season. On these occasions team all the best in their efforts to continue Camberwell Grammar School’s domination the depth and talent of the Camberwell of this sport. team proved too strong for its opponents. In the semi-finals, Yarra Valley lost to CGS Mr Hamish Green and having defeated Ivanhoe, PEGS then played Camberwell in the final. They played Teacher in Charge determinedly and at times the scores were close; however, they were no match for the superior Camberwell squad who won the match to retain the Premiership Cup.

Second Blue/Gold Badminton

The Second Blue/Gold Badminton Teams had an extremely successful 2015/2016 season. The Seconds Blue team won all nine rounds. Nathan Fong, Sebastian Yeo, Daniel So, Linus Cheung and Darren Liang played exceptionally well throughout the season. Kelvin Hou and Jovan Lam worked hard to improve their drop-shots and skills at the net, which often beguiled the unsuspecting opposition. The plays exhibited and improvements made by these players was noteworthy and it is likely that some of these boys will play at Division One level in years to come. The Second Gold Team also won all of their matches thanks to the combined efforts of Lucas Liu, Suva Pokharel, Jason Tran, Guanqiao Wang and Sam Xiao. I would like to thank our coach Mr Nick Ong for his commitment and devising a comprehensive training program and also the team manger Mr Green for his mentoring and support throughout the season Jovan Lam Year 11

Second Mitre/Crest Badminton The Second Mitre/Crest Badminton Team had an exceptional season. Kevin Cheng, Theo Gong, Hualong Li, Jonathan Lim, Jeremy Tai and Frank Ye performed superbly throughout the season, dominating the play in both singles and doubles, only dropping two rounds against strong opposition. The Second Crest Badminton Team was made up of Sean Chan, Brandon Chew Joseph Hao, Justin Shao and Duke Wang. They also achieved creditable victories throughout the Summer season, winning eight of the nine matches they played. These players exhibited superb attitude and impressive focus, demolishing many of their rivals. The Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School teams posed the greatest challenge; however, the Camberwell Grammar School teams effectively undertook the challenge of defeating PEGS in very close, hard-fought matches. Both teams would like to thank the teachers Mr Green, Mr Butler and Mr Ha as well as the coach Mr Nick Ong for their ongoing support that ultimately led to a successful season. We hope to continue our success in the next season whether it be in the Seconds or the First Team as we continue to support our school in the sport that we love. Brandon Chew Year 10 and Jonathan Lim Year 11

Third Blue/Gold/Mitre/ Crest/Bears Badminton Despite their enthusiasm, the Third Blue and Mitre Teams only won four of their nine rounds. The Third Crest, Bears and Gold teams also struggled and only won three matches. Notwithstanding these statistics, it must be remembered that these teams are development teams and are comprised of a large number of novice players, who were new to the sport. Over the season, they focused on developing their appreciation of ‘match-play’ tactics, racket skills, working together in doubles pairs and consolidating their understanding of the sport. When playing, these teams competed with determination and good spirit. The experience they gained this season will serve them well as they continue to grow in the sport next season.

Basketball Fourth Blue and Gold Basketball

Sport

To view the success of both teams through the prism of wins vs losses would be a grave error and prone to chromatic aberration. A better analysis is to concentrate on how both teams improved in their on-court performance and their willingness to trust each other in the context of team sport. Key players each week were Stanley Ma, who has an uncanny ability to score from a distance with focussed playing from Wayne Liu, Hansen Zhou, Ethan Chai and Benny Yuan. James Paul was instrumental in forging his team through his concentrated efforts and scoring ability while Jerry Tan and Daniel Pham often surprised with uncanny moves. Other players offering solid support were Paul Topatsis, Joshua Cross, Kosta Patsiotis, Kareem Shalabi and Ollie Neil. A special mention must go to Tim Bilston and Will Exon who both played with endeavour each week. Regular contributors, Jonathan Tor, Robert Liu, Clee Tiet, Ash Tchen, Victor Zhao and Patrick Dean added interest to each game. Overall, each of the two teams made measurable improvements during the season, playing each game competitively and in good spirit. Dr Murray Anderson Coach

10A Basketball The 10A basketball season was a great one, with nothing but positives results. With our fantastic coach Mr Scott Fletcher coming back to put up with us for another season after coaching us in Year 9, we were already off to good start and coupled with the return of Matt Hobson from China, things were looking on the up. The season started well going undefeated in the first few rounds (including a draw), including a highlight win over perennial powerhouse Marcellin. Unfortunately, we ran into a cross road being that of a Trinity team laden with height. Despite losing both games against them we held our heads high and marvelled at the valiant effort on the boards by our undersized big men and a bit of individual brilliance by Matt scoring a rumoured 19 points in about ten minutes. Then came the final game of the season, a rematch against Ivanhoe, whom we drew to earlier on after a brilliant three-pointer by Vinay Savur, banding together for one last win was a brilliant way to end the season and also show Scott the developments we had made as basketballers across the two years he had coached us.

On behalf of the whole team also a thank you to Scott, who was such a persistent and knowledgeable coach, I know that the entire team enjoyed playing under you. Our excellent team manager Mr Stein, who ensured we always knew when and where we were playing in less than five minutes and did an excellent job scoring especially in all the close games. Overall it was a very enjoyable and successful season for the 10A Basketball Team. Harry McLeod Captain

10B Basketball The 10B Basketball Team consisted of David Augustes, Luke Hwang, Jack Imeson, Michael Kwan, David McColl, Luke McDougall, Matt Mutavdzija, William Nicholson, Steven Smith, Anthony Stewart and Will Woods. The team played nine games, won two, lost six and had a bye for one.

10C Blue and Gold Basketball Unfortunately our win-loss ratio on both sides was not very exciting, but throughout the season boys in both teams improved their individual skills and enjoyed their summer sport. Many games were decided by close margins and it was probably our turnovers which proved costly in the games we lost. The majority of players were regular attendees at training and appreciated their Coach’s advice and help in developing their skills. Stand out players for the Gold Team were Justin Luke, Ben Nguyen, Lachlan Thompson and, until badly injured, James Saligari. We wish him all the best in his recovery from a bad knee injury. For the Blue Team stand out players were Sean Halley, Nathan Martin and Lucas Karlson. Mr Ken Schwab Teacher in Charge

Basketball

The season started off with several extremely close games, all of which fell against us and such closely fought contests were to be a sign of the season. Indeed, five games were decided by less than five points. As such, while the boys did not come away with a flattering win-loss ratio, they should take confidence in their ability to take games down to the very last minute. Clearly, it takes great heart throughout the team to chase such tight scores, but Max Inglis stood out as a consistent top tier player, well assisted by Lachlan Purcell and Daniel Bowers. Keep the shots up boys – there is a big season coming!

9B Basketball The 9B Basketball Team worked consistently throughout the season to achieve a solid set of wins. Many of their games were tight, giving spectators cause to catch breath after the final siren while the boys beamed in the sunshine of success. Harry Laukens was particularly strong throughout the season, and played the second half in the 9A Team – an elevation deserving of praise. He was well assisted by Niko Verrios, Fabrice Louis and the late addition of Will Chang provided welcome drive towards the basket.

Blue, where the result came down to a single goal scored on the siren, CGS going down 20:22. The teams overall improvement from the start of the season was evident. James Kocalidis, Eamonn Arasaratnam, Angus Warburton and Matthew Robinson all improved their goal scoring ability, whilst David Bennie, Michael Pham and Dean Roff were awesome in defense. All-rounders Jack McColl, Samuel Nania and Tommy Siu were invaluable with their passing shots. Everyone played strongly throughout the season; an honourable mention goes to James Kocalidis for winning the Most Valuable Player award. Special thanks to Ms Turnnidge and Alice Anderson, for coaching and managing the team.

Thank you also to our parents for supporting us this season. James Kokalidis The 9C Blue’s season had mixed results. We started off poorly losing our first game to Mentone White; however, after that the team settled. Our match against PEGS Red was exciting coming from behind to manage a four-point win thanks to Harry McDonald. It was satisfying to beat Mentone Blue 30:14 with James Burrows, Max Foulds and George Daicos all scoring well after Kevin Li, Joshua Farmer and Luke Chen set the play. Yarra Valley Black was our most ardent rival and the match was fast-paced with scores even at half time.

8C Blue and Gold Basketball The 8C Blue Basketball Team did not have the most successful season with many losses along the way. Generally, our team moved the ball around with fairly good defence. It was wasted opportunities on offence that were responsible for most of our losses. Some significant games for the season were a draw with Yarra Valley and a convincing win over one of Trinity’s teams. Although the 8C Blue Team did not win many games, everyone got a fair share of the ball and enjoyed their season. Jack Schwenk The 8C Gold Basketball Team coached by Fraser and Mr Ruffles had a pretty successful season only suffering from two losses in the whole season, which were inflicted by Trinity and Marcellin. The games that the team lost were mainly because of

192

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

the lack of defensive pressure and structure and not much good ball movement. The team still held it together after the losses, never dropping their heads and always having high hopes for the next upcoming game. Training in the morning at Boroondara Sports Complex helped us by learning new drills and in-game situations that usually lead to a win on the court on Saturdays against other schools. One of the highest highs of the season was a 41:3 win to the PEGS Blue Team with great performances from everyone. Overall the 8C Gold Team had a very successful season and are looking forward to an even better season next time round. Matthew Bryson

7A Basketball The 7A Basketball Team had a great season, with three wins and two losses. We started with a strong win against a tall Peninsula team. However, the following week we were disappointed with a loss to Marcellin, despite some inspirational moves from Sam Rendell, Jamie Schreuder’s impressive ball handling skills, and several timely three-pointers from Matthew Seletto. Throughout the season, Austin Petersen was a key rebounder for Camberwell, with Jimmy Smith scoring some acrobatic lay-ups, and Flynn Chable and Harrison Hough consistently hitting their mid-range shots. A memorable match was a convincing win against Assumption, with Tom May playing strongly against his opponents. David Mutavdzija’s three point shots and ball handling skills kept us in our final game for the season against Trinity, even though we were down at the final siren. David Mutavdzija, Sam Rendell and Jamie Schreuder

7B Basketball The 7B Basketball Team had a fantastic overall season. We started our year with a 26-point win over Mentone Grammar, in which we showed exceptional teamwork and great individual skills. In the next game Zac Johnson was a new addition to our team and brought his energy and ball handling skills to the game. Unfortunately we lost this game by 3 points to a very strong Marcellin team. We played another Marcellin team the next week and won by a considerable margin, mainly due to the defensive pressure from Jack Booth and Ty

Beechey. The work of Nicholas Robinson and Oliver Purcell in and around the key also helped secure our lead. In our final game we played against Trinity. After being down by 11 at halftime, Mr Wyatt’s pep talk brought us back into the game and we started to come back. Sean Yang’s ball handling skill helped retain our possession and bring the ball up the court. Good steals from Daniel Debowski and Aedan Sanders lifted our energy, and our talls, Luke Doblin and Liam Thomas, helped to secure a 4 point win. Luke Doblin and Zac Johnson

7C Blue and Gold Basketball The season started off well for the players. The boys were enthusiastic and looked forward to their training session each week as well as their games on the weekend. Both teams had a winning season – winning over 90% of games played There were many strong players in the two teams and most of these boys were members of other Basketball clubs so brought their skilled playing techniques.

It was great to see the team developing skills and continuously working to improve throughout the season. The team had great depth and all players displayed high enthusiasm at every training session and game. With players often being changed between the First and Seconds teams each week, the leadership and flexibility displayed by all when needed is to be commended. Great work boys, it was a wonderful season. Keep working on your skills and good luck with any future cricketing endeavors at Camberwell Grammar School.

First XI Cricket Under the experienced and caring guidance of coach, Richard Clifton for the second year in a row, the First XI Team were keen for success. After a number of practice games, against Carey and Melbourne Grammar, Camberwell made a positive start to the season.

Unfortunately, the team’s batting continued to let us down – but that’s not to say the season was without highlights with willow in hand. In Round 2, against Ivanhoe, Lachie Powell compiled a classy 50, and in the final round, Rohan Chitale deposited Assumption’s bowling attack all around Kilmore on his way to a match winning 62.

Third/10B Cricket The Third/10B Cricket Team had three wins, five losses and one bye during the season. The team consisted of Ray-en Bishop, Moritz Boehm, Ryan Campbell, Mitchell Coffey, Josh Cooper, Ewan Crosby, Dilina DeSilva, Stephen Everett, Thomas Finney, Shaveen Kariyawasam, Joshua Kline, Peter Lymberis, Cian MacLennan, Ben Niemandt, Addison Peers-Johnson, Gerry Polites, Narada Powderly, Alistair Rogers, Matt Seddon, Dylan Spargo, Jesse Ward and James Xydias.

10A Cricket Season 2015/2016 was a largely successful one for the 10A Cricket Team, winning four out of our nine games. With the loss of many of our senior players to injury and higher teams, everyone in the team had to step up to the plate. Many individuals contributed with the bat; Jack Fitzgerald and Alex Chauhan scored over 160 runs each, Xander Simpson scored over 90 runs, and many vital contributions from Sam Cooper, Ben Curnow, Joel Kleiman, Angus Watt and Ruarri Winkett helped us to achieve many good totals during the season. In the bowling department many players were instrumental to the team’s successes. Jack Fitzgerald was the pick of the bowlers throughout the season, collecting over ten wickets at an average of 12.64. Ruarri Winkett, Joel Kleiman and Tom Masanauskas were among our leading wicket takers, whilst all but one of our bowlers got at least a wicket. Although at times we had a difficult season, the team should be proud of their efforts and achievements throughout the year. Alex Chauhan Captain The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

The 9A Cricket Team began the year with a great win over Peninsula at Hislop, with Sam Garrard (Captain) leading the way with bat and ball and Tom Graves taking catch of the year at slip to dismiss the opposition’s best batsman for a duck. In subsequent matches we were unable to play as well, though Sam Leong was a regular contributor with bat and ball, Matt McKenna’s and Oliver Brown’s bowling spells kept the opposition honest, Shiv Malik’s offies and Hassaan Imran’s leggies, with both giving it plenty of air, took wickets at key times. In the second half of the season, Charlie Harper and Henry Macdonald’s opening partnerships gave us starts which, unfortunately, we were unable to capitalise on. All rounders Ryan Fitzgerald, Roy Wang and Joe Lai chipped in and the team had a wonderful support base of parents at the matches. Despite a lack of success, great team spirit was maintained thanks to Lachlan Melville, who attended matches despite being injured for much of the season. Old Boy James Allen (2014) kept training sessions interesting and varied and generally kept his finger in his pocket while umpiring. Mr Andrew Beale’s post-match team debriefing sessions at the nearest McDonalds were also popular. Mr Andrew Beale Teacher in Charge

Cricket Development Squad The Camberwell Grammar Cricket Development squad played three matches against Ivanhoe Grammar and Yarra Valley Grammar. The team was selected from the boys in Year 7, 8 and 9 who have displayed exceptional ability during their AGSV matches. We were successful in two of the three matches, although the point of the exercise is the experience of playing in a school representative side alongside others of similar ability and also to play in first class conditions. Thanks to Mr Freeman for coaching the team during these matches. Mr Peter Robinson Teacher in Charge

8A Cricket In the 2015/2016 cricket season, the 8A Cricket Team performed exceptionally well. We won most of our games, and only lost our last two games when we switched around the order to give the bowlers a bat and the batsmen a bowl. During the season

the team had numerous highlights, including a magnificent hat-trick and five wicket haul from off spin bowler Patrick Rogan; Luke Kelvie’s consistent batting performances, demoralising opposition bowling making fifty on four occasions; Ned Bennett with his ripping leg spin, which at times was impossible to play; and Joshua Pollocks with his impressive wicket keeping skills. However, throughout the season, we were able to bond not just as teammates, but as friends. The 8A Cricket Team would like to thank our numerous coaches, Lezley, Elvis and Josh for their contributions towards the team, and Mr Miriklis who mentored us throughout the season. Without them, we would not have been as successful as we were. The 8A Cricket Team looks forward to the opportunities that may arise, and we look forward to the seasons to come. Finnegan Weston Captain

8/9B Cricket The overall statistics of, played eight, won two and lost six, tell only part of the story of a season of general improvement and personal victory amongst those who shaped up to be quite a tight knit group who, together, came very close to winning many of the matches recorded as losses. All players in this team were keen to get out and face some opposition bowling. Chet Maher, Corey McCabe, Angus Corr, Oliver Papillo, Emmanuel Marcus, Jarrod Papadopoulos and Michael Campbell all developed confidence in the crease and all had an appetite for hitting the boundary shot amidst the singles. The improvement, and growing confidence in the team was not restricted to the batsmen, as bowlers, including Michael Campbell, Jacob Chappell, Angus Corr, Liam Cooper, Rohan Hodges, Grant Lu and Harry Rice showed that time in the nets was paying off. Throughout the season, the number of wides bowled dropped as the wicket totals climbed. The team seemed to enjoy their Saturday outings and, rain or shine, they worked hard as a team to best our various opponents and they invariably, and irrespective of result, left the field with smiling faces. Mr Matthew Aram Coach

7A Cricket The 7A cricket Team played four matches; against Trinity, Ivanhoe, Mentone and PEGS. Unfortunately, the team did not win a match, but all games were competitive and there were some outstanding individual performances. Matthew Mountain not only captained the team with an impressive knowledge of the game, but was a consistent wicket taker with his crafty leg-spin and showed glimpses of excellence with the bat. As the team’s confidence grew with training and games, so too did Blake Pearson’s. His aggression with bat and ball provided a much-needed spark in most matches. Jordan McCleery was exceptional behind the stumps, displaying great skill, and demonstrated his capability with the bat against PEGS. The team developed significantly throughout the season and formed strong relationships with one another, which will hold them in good stead as they continue the cricket careers at Camberwell Grammar School. Mr Lachlan Crawford Coach

7B Cricket The 7B gents’ cricket team had an enthralling start to their Camberwell Grammar School careers with a series of tight contests: including two wins and three defeats. Over the weeks, we went from being a bunch of schoolboys to a team of cricketers, who played a fighting style of cricket whilst also upholding the spirit and traditions of the great game.

Our batsmen showed caution when necessary, striking flair when permitted, and even a few ‘sweet cover drives’ along the way. From our first match effort of 5/114, to our final winning score of 9/137, we proved we had a great depth of elegant batsmen. The bowlers’ repertoire varied impressively: with leg spin, offies and pace delivered from both arms. While we started the season loosely with the ball allowing our 114 runs to be chased down at the death, we learnt quickly, and in the next three games restricted the opponents to fewer than 100 runs. The fieldsmen supported ably and improved throughout the season in both skill and determination.

Cycling AWARDS Junior Encouragement Award James Stambe Senior Encouragement Award Alastair Haslam

Training began early in Term 4. The boys from last year refined the skills that they had put to use last year, and showed promising speed from the get-go. Meanwhile, the juniors developed key knowledge and racing strengths from both coaches, Mr Nguyen and Mr Woodlock. Friday sport meetings taught the group effective strategy and technique that would benefit greatly on track. As the first race neared, the riders became progressively quicker, ready to take on the competition. Round One took Camberwell Grammar School out to Ballarat. The event was an Individual Time Trial, and times achieved would be used to grade the riders for the rest of the season. The vast empty stretch of road through the countryside soon became filled with cyclists racing at full pelt. The junior boys were first to be sent off. Immediately the CGS team showed promise, with James Stambe and Emmanuel Yassa among those gaining a solid place in Junior Male B-Grade. The seniors followed up with a number of outstanding performances, including quick times from Alex Murray and Peter Thorn. Hamish Webber finished sixth fastest of all the school riders, achieving Senior A-Grade.

Sport

The Camberwell Cycling Team received a major boost in members over last season, following the introduction of middle school riders and a junior squad. As a result of the more than doubling in number, the group looked to be more competitive even before they hit the track. The next two rounds would test the boys’ bunch racing skills and pacing. A Criterium at the Kew Boulevard Teardrop was second on the list. For the junior racers, this was the first time they would be able to use what they had learned over the weeks of training prior. They displayed impressive capability, with a majority of the CGS boys keeping with the bunch and maintaining positions. In the senior races, Tom Lombardi delivered a particularly outstanding performance that landed him the Senior-B win. The third round took place at Sandown Raceway. Being a Team Time Trial, the teams of three or four would be required to draft each other as efficiently as possible. The event was one of the highlights of the season for the Camberwell collective: the team finished third of all the schools in the competition, thanks to strong performances all round. Returning from Christmas Holidays, Camberwell returned to training early to form up for the next race. This was something different: a hill climb up Arthur’s Seat. Training shifted focus from drafting and cornering to uphill acceleration. On the day, the group showed that their tough effort had paid off. The race saw terrific face-offs between Chris Caragounis and Zachary Kelly, and later a two-second separation between James Everard and Nicholas Liew. After Hamish’s heroic climb, the boys stayed to witness the pros complete their first climb before leaving.

All of the schools returned to the Teardrop Circuit for Round 5. Following many training sessions at the venue, CGS was well-rehearsed in sweeping through the corners and powering up the climb, lap after lap. Aggressive racing paid off for a number of the squad, with many of the racers finishing high in the order. This drive would be needed again a week later for a Team Time Trial in Cranbourne. The longer, flatter track meant that riders would have to draft as effectively as possible. Again, though, CGS was competitive. With a number of teams posting quick times and racking up points, the team was ready for the final round. To mark the end of the season, the last round was a double event, a Team Time Trial followed by a Criterium. Back at Casey Fields, the Camberwell squad was in high spirits and prepared to race. From the beginning, the Junior-A Team were in contention for a top spot, and finished with a very respectable time. Afterwards the Senior-A Team delivered a spectacular performance, being bested only by a composite schools group and grabbing much-needed points. During the Criterium races, the teams stayed strong and even tried out some interesting tactics. Camberwell Grammar School came out of the schools competition in fifth place overall, up from eleventh the year before. The added capability as a result of greater numbers and ever-increasing skill goes to show the enthusiasm and dedication of the entire squad. The Camberwell riders now look forward to next season, and hope to repeat such successes next year. Alastair Haslam

2016 saw Fencing at Camberwell Grammar School go through a generational change, as we said good-bye to several of our top fencers from previous years and embarked on a building phase with a number of promising young fencers joining the squad. A large intake of Year 7 students allowed our coach, Pieter Leeuwenburgh, to focus on developing basic skills. Consequently, our results in competitions were modest, but our future looks bright. Losing our captain, James Gordon, to illness early in the season was a blow but Harry Dempsey and Sam Lin took on the leadership responsibilities and carried out their roles with aplomb. Alex Demarte performed strongly all season and won the honour of being our most successful Senior Fencer, ably supported by Matthew Lee who was our most improved Senior Fencer. In the Juniors, Thomas Huang showed great improvement to take out the award for Junior Champion Fencer. We are looking forward to moving into our new Sport Centre next year and having facilities that will allow us to train more effectively and maximise the talent of our up-and-coming young fencers.

First XVIII Football The football season was a tough and challenging one for the First XVIII Football squad. We came up against schools stocked with representative players whilst we encountered a large list of injuries. Big losses were frequent, but in many games the scoreboard did not reflect the true effort of the team. The determination and fight the team showed was never questioned, unfortunately a lack of polish let the team down. A couple of big early round losses against PEGS and Ivanhoe had the team worried about the rest of the season, but credit to the playing group, heads were held high in efforts against Peninsula, Trinity and Yarra Valley. It could have been easy for the team to drop their heads and give up before games even began but this was not the outcome. It is easy to return to the football ground when you are constantly winning but credit to the whole team for returning after large defeats.

Sport The team was led by Vice Captain Riley Verbi, who week in and week out put his head over the ball to give Camberwell first usage, and then used his great disposal to hit targets. Lachie Powell was a handy inclusion halfway through the season, returning from injury to read the ball well in the backline and rarely get beaten in a contest. The likes of Harrison Lucas, Mike Schumann and Rob West constantly gave 100% using their speed, marking abilities and clean skills to their advantage. Although winnable games were few and far between, the team pulled together to produce strong quarters and halves against strong sides such as Marcellin and

Assumption. However, we were unable to string enough consistency to make a tight full game. The match against Trinity was the team’s strongest and most complete match, going toe to toe with the School’s archrival for three quarters. Trinity were able to kick away late in the game, but it was the best game the team was able to put together.

Second XVIII Football

2016 saw great growth in the Second Football team. The boys gained fitness running up Grigg’s Hill and working through thousands of pushups. They grew stronger in the face of defeats that would have forced the heads of most teams into a different dimension. But the boys of the Second A large thank you goes out to the coaching XVIII knew exactly where they were, and staff of Mr Beardsley, Peter Daicos and what exactly they were there for.

They were there to find resilience, strength and Josh Holding self-belief. They were there to play football, Captain regardless of the results. There was much cause for soul searching during the season – we struggled on the scoreboard, and were frequently out of the game by half time. And that is where the boys really showed what they had learnt, and how they were growing. With captain Matthew Chessari leading from the front, and the Kruyt brothers running wild across the ground their heads never bowed, their spirit never flagged and their legs never gave up. I could drop names to fill a page, but names alone cannot describe the heroism of this team. The 2016 Second XVIII is a true football team, as true as any in the land and one that has been a joy to coach. Mr Will Hone Coach

The next week we followed up with a win against Ivanhoe and for the remainder of our season we alternately won one game and lost one game, finishing fourth on the ladder overall. Consistent performing players throughout the season included George Daicos and Connor Xu in the backline who both put good pressure on the opposition as well as being able to move the ball up the ground. Sean Kennedy was definitely one of the best rucks in the comp, nearly winning all of the hit outs every week. Anton Giomi showed constant effort in the midfield, and was amongst the best players most games. David Augustes played everywhere from ruck to rover when we needed a bigger body in the midfield, and in the forward line, we saw Fraser Hanley kick many goals.

8A Football The 8A Football team had a successful season, improving from a third place finish the previous year to second, finishing with seven wins and two losses. We started on a brilliant note, winning against Marcellin Blue at home by a comprehensive margin and then proceeded to play like a team with a clear intent, going on to win our next three games, including a thrilling one-point win against Trinity with a goal by Geoffrey Gong with 20 seconds to play. However, we recorded our first loss the next week, losing against Mentone in the wet. The team bounced back strongly to record wins against Marcellin and Assumption, going into the holidays first on the ladder and full of confidence.

The boys came back from the holidays a bit rusty, and this showed in our game against Marcellin Blue. Ultimately, this game would decide first on the ladder. In a disappointing finish, we lost by 14 points, despite Luke Kelvie having a monster. There were many standout players this season. Luke Kelvie was always among the best with dominant performances, Nick Daicos was a standout each week with silky skills, Finnegan Weston was a threat up forward, Tom Bowers was the heart and soul of the team, coming up from the Bs, and Max Howden was a general in the backline. A special thanks to Mr Ruffles and Nick Stragalinos for their hard work and inspirational words each week. Finally, thanks to the boys for a brilliant season.

Crest Futsal Entering the season as one of the underdogs in the competition on paper, Camberwell Crest quickly made a move to prove its doubters otherwise. Despite taking the first bye and suffering an initial loss to eventual premiers, Camberwell Mitre, the Crest boys rallied to produce a valiant effort for the remainder of the round-by-round fixtures. Beginning with one of the highlight matches, the test against Trinity Green in Round 3, the boys found ample opportunities in the first half to convert but struggled as a result

However, after being sparked by some individual brilliance from the ever-exuberant Terry Yan, Crest looked to have sealed the deal early in the second half before some dodgy handiwork by goalkeeper Nathan Fong helped the game to become unnecessarily thrilling in the final minutes. But, Crest still prevailed 5-4 – worthy of noting were Eddie Wu who pranced around the court in an elegant attacking display and a hat-trick hero.

A highlight of this event was the participation of Moritz Boehm, a student from Berlin, Germany, who had the opportunity to play golf on Melbourne’s famous sandbelt. The popular and entertaining Squad Ambrose event was held on a rainy midyear vacation Monday at Yarra Bend. In a fitting result Nicholas Wong in his last year at Camberwell led his team to a convincing victory. His teammates of Rohan SathishKumar, Sebastian Yeo and teacher mentor, Mr Watson carded a respectable 68 to win by six shots from the second place team. During the September vacation, the Champion golfer of the school was decided. The stroke event was conducted at Peninsula-Kingswood Country Golf Club. On a day of intermittent showers, a consistent Jasper Guthrie triumphed over the long hitting Andrew Young and the School’s Golf Captain, Nicholas Wong. Jasper’s winning score was 89. It is appropriate at this time to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of Nicholas Wong and Andrew Young for the six years they have represented Camberwell in Golf.

First XI Hockey Despite being a very young side this year the First XI team managed to finish the season with a very respectable position of equal third. The team made a very strong start in round one, scoring 14 goals to Mentone’s 0. It was a particularly satisfying victory following an emotional week, with the team displaying tremendous support for one another. In Round 2 Camberwell managed to continue their strong start to the season against Yarra Valley, with a 6-0 win. Round 3 was a much tougher assignment against this seasons’ runner up, PEGS. After a long bus ride out to PEGS playing fields, Camberwell couldn’t manage to gain any momentum going down six goals to two. Two more loses and one win during the regular season meant Camberwell finished in fourth place overall, meaning a semi-final against Trinity at Trinity. The end result of this match really highlighted just how close the top 4 teams were to each other. Camberwell gelled for this game going down 1-0. Despite several opportunities Camberwell managed to consistently find the post or the goalkeeper with their shots. Standouts on the day were Charlie Harper up front, Andrew Young in defence and Patrick Emmett in the midfield and forward line. The final game was a third versus fourth place play-off against Ivanhoe. Being the last game of the season, and last game of school hockey for some, the team went

The Second Hockey team played in a tough competition, scoring a mix of wins, losses and draws but always proving competitive and tenacious. The team Ms Katrina Massey suffered initially from the lack of a goalie, Teacher in Charge but Suva Pokharel bravely stepped forward and filled the position. Once Peter-Marcus Tamaresis joined the team as goalie we were in safe hands. The full backs were able to drive the team effectively into attack, especially launching off the prodigious hits of Tristan Clements. A solid half line of Lachine Anderson, Shaveen Kariyawasam, Henry Wu and Justin Shao was equally strong in defence and attack. On the forward line, Ethan Chai, Tom Golz and Vignesh Alagappan were able to strike aggressively against the opposition, with Cameron Miller quietly lurking at the goal mouth. Special mention must be made of Riley Anderson, who only took up hockey this season, and has developed over the season into a fine player.

Second Blue Hockey The Second Blue Hockey team started the season off very strong and by Round 4 they were on top of the ladder, winning all of their first few games. Though as the fixture progressed Camberwell came up against some hard hitters, including Trinity, who won in the last few minutes with a spectacular goal. Kevin Lee, Ethan Lee and George Wang were consistent on the back line assisting Jack Jia in goals as much as they could. Nick Barnes was a presence throughout the season in half and was assisted by a varying half back team who played admirably.

Sport

Following an impressive start to the season in the first match with an early three goals against Trinity and some accomplished play from Paul McDonald and Jesse Frawley, things went steeply downhill for the Second Gold Hockey team. In fact, the rest of the season was more or less spent beneath ground level. A combination of repeated absences from training, and of more concern, unexplained absences from matches, meant the team never really gave themselves a chance at being competitive. There were some moments of redemption, such as William de la Rue’s bravery during our match against PEGS, when he played on into the second half having relocated his own dislocated shoulder, and Beau Frawley’s skillful attempts in our final match against Assumption. However, in the end it wasn’t enough, and the team ended the season without a win on the board. At least the bus trip to Assumption provided some scenic views. Ms Penny Wood Teacher in Charge

10A Hockey This season’s 10A Hockey team worked as a cohesive unit and all players were keen to improve their skills under the guidance of Old Boy coaches Chris Waller (2014) and Oliver Chauhan (2015). On the pitch they were well lead by Best and Fairest winner Michael Donaldson and also Peter Thorn. Michael led the attack and Peter controlled the team’s structure from centre half. Strong support in the midfield came from Travis Barton and in defence from Matthew Perri and Harrison McEwen. The side finished the season with seven wins and two losses, scoring 36 goals and conceding only 12. The highlights of the season included Michael Donaldson scoring five goals against Ivanhoe on a wet and foggy pitch at Greensborough and the team’s last round performance against Trinity Grammar. The Trinity team had been undefeated for two years but Camberwell gave them a close fought and high standard game. Scores were level at two goals apiece at half time with Trinity managing to score a third goal with five minutes remaining to win 3-2. It was a highly successful and enjoyable season and congratulation to all team members. Mr Matthew Christopher Teacher in Charge

9A Hockey The 9A Hockey side were a cohesive and well trained unit moving under the direction of Coach and Old Boy Tom Edney (2015). Josh Marino, our team goalie, paced back and forth and repelled numerous shots back into play. Dean Roff, Most Valuable Player for 2016, weaved in and out of opposition to keep the ball moving forwards. The fullbacks were steadfast in their defence and the forwards kept their eye on the ball and played some darn fine hockey. The 9As defeated Mentone and PEGS in every match but found a harder foe in Trinity. The three matches played against Trinity were anyones game at the half way mark. The ball would shuttle back and forth between each team’s goals as the players would ratchet up the energy and fast play. CGS were not victorious against the eventual premiers but impressed all with their tenacity and clever strategies. This side will be long remembered for their good sportsmanship, strong sense of camaraderie and considerable hockey skills. Mr Marcus Jones Teacher in Charge

9/10B Gold Hockey The hockey season began at a slow pace for the 9/10B Gold hockey team, losing 7-0 to Trinity Gold. As the season continued, however, the team began to score more and more. Great goals from Sam Xiao, Owen Seeley and Ishan Vivekanantham helped the team win against PEGS and Yarra Valley (Black). Tragedy soon struck, with many of our team members knocked down by sickness. Although at times undermanned, the team pulled through and drew against Ivanhoe and PEGS. Unfortunately, all good things must end and due to our disadvantages, 9/10B Gold lost at the hands of Yarra Valley Red. We were lucky to see the improvement of all players, inlcuding Joachim Zerelli and Emile Akbarzadeh as goal keepers who improved significantly and by the end blocked goals quite efficiently. Our gradual improvements helped win many games we could not have dreamed of winning a few years ago. Overall the season was successful with all players developing their own game and the team gelling as a unit toward seasons end.

9/10B Blue Hockey The 9/10 B Blue team is to be commended for fielding a team for each match in the Winter season. Unfortunately, they were not able to win any matches, despite the teamwork and effort of the players. During the course of the season the players, many of whom were new to Hockey, learnt new and honed previously acquired skills. They were coached by Old Boy Will Scott (2014), an experienced Hockey player. Congratulations to Nicholas He, the goalie, who received the team award for the best player.

8A Hockey

The 8A Hockey team had an impressive season this year. Everyone in the team contributed, which led to a very positive end of season. The team worked well together in every match, so whether we won, drew or lost we did it as a team. There were many wins in the season including PEGS, Ivanhoe and Marcellin, where Camberwell won 6-1. Unfortunately, there were some losses in the season as well, notably against Mentone and Trinity Grammar. Special mentions go to Declan Riley who had an excellent season in goal, Aleksandar Rupar who was solid in defense, James Thorn and Thomas Ireland who dominated the midfield for most of the season, and Ned Bennett who played a very vital role as a forward.

Sport

In the September holidays, before the official kayaking season had started, Old Boy, Andrew Holloway (2015) and Captain, Callum Gosbell as part of the Australian National team competed at the 2015 ICF canoe marathon world championships, located in Hungary. The pair competed in the Junior men’s K2 race covering a distance of 22.5km. In an incredibly tough field dominated by the largely successful European countries, the pair executed a smart and clean race to come away with a commendable 21st place. The 2015/2016 season saw many great achievements for the Camberwell Kayaking Squad. The major event for Term 4 is the Cobram 40 Miler – this is a two-day race which takes place along the Murray River. On the first day, teams of four or six completed the 65km over three legs in a relay format, swapping crews approximately every 20km. Being the first major race for many of the paddlers, they did extremely well to battle out against the traditional rivals Trinity over each leg. The CGS A Team completed the race in 5hrs 40mins, only five minutes behind Trinity. Quickly following was the CGS B and C Teams, both finishing within 10 minutes of each other making for a strong competition. Captain of kayaking, Callum Gosbell, completed the full 65km in the Men’s Junior K1 race, coming second place overall. On day two of the event there was another shorter relay style event consisting of 3 to 10km legs in a circuit format. The shorter laps allowed for a much closer race between schools with both Trinity and MLC jumping at the chance to take out the Schools’ Cup. The CGS B Team came first place, with all of the other Camberwell boats coming a respectable ninth place overall.

Further into the season there were many opportunities for kayakers, both new and old, to develop their K1 and team boat skills. With a broad array of races throughout the season, including the Victorian state kayaking championships, Camberwell kayakers all excelled in their chosen division and improved exponentially over the season. It was incredibly pleasing to see such a passionate team of kayakers all working together to excel in their ability and having some friendly competition along the way!

Newbold, Ms Braun and Mrs Papageorgiou who would always be there on the river bank, supporting the boys wherever possible. Additionally, the support of the Friends of Kayaking, led by President, Mr Tim Gosbell, had been elementary to the strength of our squad. Thank you to head coach, and Old Boy, Robbie Aardoom (2003) in conjunction with his coaching group for the efforts and commitment to the boys. And thank you, to all the boys for the relentless effort and commitment to kayaking this season – it certainly paid off!

The hard work and commitment of the squad culminated at the Victorian AllSchools Championships held in Term 1. The race covers all age groups competing in both single and double events, accumulating Callum Gosbell Captain points for their school based on their placings. Joey Hunting and Rhys Campbell, both racing singles against a tough field finished the race both with a very strong performance, helping to lift Camberwell’s overall score. Other commendable efforts go to Robert Knieriemen, Declan Woolf, Hans Anjou and Lachlan Martin – just to name a few. With the margin in the winners being only two points, Camberwell managed to take out and win the All-Schools Championships over trinity and a number of other schools. This could only be put down to the commitment and strength of not just individuals, but the team overall. Overall, it was another successful season of kayaking for Camberwell.

Course E Jason Zhong – Gold Oliver Anderson – Silver David Deng – Bronze With a desire to prove themselves, the Camberwell Squad left their mark on Street Orienteering Victoria. The squad consisted of students from both Middle and Senior, with a range of capabilities. Students raced on Wednesday nights in A to E Grade courses with each course a different distance, A Grade being the longest which was approximately 10km. After training twice a week since the start of the season in Term 4 2015, the team began strong securing a 47 point lead. In the first event A Grade runners Vice-Captain Justin Scales and Captain Josh Wu secured first and second places respectively. The trend of the first event continued for the following weeks with Camberwell managing to keep their lead and leaving their mark by ending the season as the victors of the schools events, winning with a 191 point margin. Noteworthy mentions include Justin Scales and Josh Wu who placed first and second respectively overall in A Grade. Similarly Matthew Kautsky placed first overall in B Grade. However, although other students did not win a placing, their contribution still played a large part in us regaining the trophy after more than two decades without it. Justin Scales was awarded Full Colours while Josh Wu (re-award) and Keith Wong were awarded with Half Colours. Immense gratitude must be given towards the contribution of not only the students but also the members of staff who helped organise and run both the training sessions and the events: Mr Warne, Mr Williamson, Mr Williams, Mr Wilson and Dr Rodgers.

The 2016 season had a number of ups and downs for the Second Soccer team. The team began well, picking up points in the first four games. The most notable result was a 1-1 draw to Marcellin. Early in the season, the defence looked rock-solid and our strikers scored freely. As the season progressed however, the team seemed to lose their guard. A 3-1 loss to Trinity began a succession of near losses. Although confidence seemed to dwindle, the team did fight hard in every game. They never gave up when they were down, even when

they lost some very close games such as 2-1 against Mentone and 3-2 against Assumption. The team finished the season in fourth place behind PEGS, Marcellin and Trinity so overall a successful season. Mr John Catanzariti Teacher in Charge

Third Blue Soccer The Third Blue Soccer team displayed an exceptional spirit and sportsmanship in what was a difficult year on the score board. The highlight came in their hard fought two-all draw in Round 5. Travelling to Yarra Valley, Third Blue took on an in-form Yarra team, in the sloppiest conditions ever encountered by this experienced coach. A ferocious battle ensued, which played out in extreme slow motion. The depth of the mud made running very difficult and the ball was stopping dead wherever it hit the ground. Captain Craig Hughes was indomitable and relentless pushing forward the Camberwell attack. He had a hand in stellar goals by our two most potent forwards, Hanze Hu and Dylan Kumar. Although it was difficult to recognise one player from another, as they were all bronzed in mud, Kevin Ngo and Liam Yang where easily distinguishable as two of the best on ground that day. Overall it was the team’s spirit in the face of adversity for the entire season that shone out over some disappointing score lines. A strong player for the season was Hanze Hu who was ably supported by the rugged and ultraconsistent back man, Jonathan Ong, who took out the Coaches’ Award. Mr Nick Martin Teacher in Charge

H is for Hawkins and Hill – sneaky goal, fearless and fast. Mac as his surname suggests right on the top and unanimously our season’s best player and Captain. What position? Everywhere! K is for Koswig, our improving goalie and defender in-between gigs of the musical kind. L is Leong, firstly Hayden (considered better than Mozart) - is he a lefty or a righty? Either way an all righty soccer player. Secondly, Jonathan not only a defender come midfielder but a goal scorer as well – improved throughout the season, particularly with new haircut. L is also for Liu, sometime lively defender and part-time goalie but with oh-so-laid back tude. N is for Ninis, another defender; weren’t we all in the end: he can run, jump and sing. T is for Tai, our quick footed winger and a bit cheeky on the skill chart as well. T is also for Tiglias, our European rep adding much needed fuel to – yes you’ve guessed it – our defence line. T is for Turner – post EU extract and also defending his right to exercise. And now our Mediterranean star: Is he a striker, a winger, defender or goalie? V is for Vescio our versatile and valiant star. Y is for Yii and on the pitch he never missed a beat, hi-hats off to Caleb a dangerous all-rounder and defender. This leaves Z for Zhang winger, striker and champion of the blue house. Z is Zhu and Vincent a critical element in our defence strategy worked tirelessly for the team. So how did we go overall? All that really needs to be said is that we beat top team Marcellin and pushed them into second spot. So you finished on top of the ladder then? Well, not quite. The outcome was 6-2-1 and I’ll leave it to the reader to complete the exercise for homework. Also hats off to renowned strategist and manager, DocA (Dr Murray Anderson). Nigel Cruickshank

Fourth Gold Soccer The Fourth Gold Soccer team had a tough season, including a few great losses of more than ten goals. However, despite being knocked down for several weeks in a row, the team kept their heads high, and continued to show up to games. The first match of the season saw a narrow loss, four goals to two. The season looked like it was heading downhill from there, with straight goalless losses to follow over the next five weeks. However, in the second last match of the season against Peninsula, clever footwork from Stanley Ma saw him tripped over in the box and awarded a penalty. The goal put the team back in the fight, drawing the score line at one-all. Spirits were high in the second half, the thought of a victory inspiring the team to push onwards. A brilliant through ball from Justin Chan saw the ball chipped into the top right hand corner of the goals, putting us into a lead which would be held for the remainder of the match. Many close calls were avoided thanks to the quick-witted goalkeeping of James Hardingham, and some lively defending from Patrick Dean. There were many other notable performances from members of the team, including Mark Elnazak in defence, Jack Jaynes for his efforts in midfield, and Jeffrey Liu in offense. Great improvement was seen in many players over the course of the season; and the turnouts to training did not go unnoticed. Congratulations to all members of the team for the season, and a special thanks for all the hard work and persistent effort. Also thanks to Mr Wilson for his invaluable coaching and dedication to the cause.

Inter C Blue Soccer The Inter C Blue team performed very well this season; we won our first six matches and showed all the signs of continuing our success through to the final round. Unfortunately, we lost a few matches at the end of the season, resulting in our finishing fourth on the ladder. Although it was a disappointing finish, the team still had an outstanding season with everyone playing the best they could, while showing determination and good sportsmanship throughout. This made playing in our team a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. We are grateful to our coach, Danté Sciessere; he taught us many skills and continually encouraged us to always play our best, no matter the score. Congratulations to James Bickerdike, who won our Best and Fairest Player, while out Coaches Award went to Tu Tue Truong, who was also our top scorer for the season. Thank you to all players for your efforts this season; for next season I encourage you to continue striving to improve your skills and to always enjoy the game. See you boys next year!

Inter C Gold Soccer In all, we ended up playing eight matches with five lost, two drawn and one, against Ivanhoe Plenty, won convincingly. These ratios probably do not represent faithfully many of the admirable qualities of a team that showed improvement during the course of the season and who developed a more fluid approach on the pitch. Perhaps, if our last

Our stars in attack were David Roberts, Michael Papas, Lachlan Thompson, Likang Cheng, Nelson Lau and Rashay Kotecha who, between them, accounted for our 14 goals of the season, by using more effective passing and communication as the season went on. They were ably supported by a stalwart mid-field squad comprised of Sean Chan, Jamie Forwood, James Ho, Mann Lai, James Leung and William Taranto who did an effective job of controlling the tide and direction of play, often dispossessing opposition in attack or setting up the forwards for more forays into their territory. Lastly, but not least significantly, the defence, often seeming to have more to do than anyone else, displayed an assiduous approach to defending and clearing the ball. Aiden Mellor, Nathan Magdanis and Nicholas Lee were particularly adept at clearing the ball, averting opposition attacks and setting up the mid-field and forward players. Mr Matthew Aram Teacher in Charge

Inter C Mitre Soccer The InterC Mitre Soccer team consisted of a close-knit group of Year 10 boys who were keen to compete, but above all, enjoyed their time training and playing together. The team put in very consistent performances against all opponents, ensuring every match was a tight contest. A balanced scorecard of wins

and narrow losses was tipped in our favour following the best team performance of the season and a strong win in our last match vs Trinity. Highlights throughout the year included Cian MacLennan’s hat-trick vs Trinity, David Tan’s skillful goal vs Ivanhoe Plenty, and Shashank Rathor’s consistency across all games and involvement in training that earned him the Coach’s Award. The revelation of the season was, however, our Most Valuable Player, Andrew Wu as goal-keeper. Stepping into the role in our third match, Andrew’s keen anticipation and lightning reflexes foiled many opposition shots on goal and kept us in the game on countless occasions. Overall, the team was very competitive in all matches and enjoyed the experience of playing together. Mr Brent Woodlock Teacher in Charge

Inter C Crest Soccer On face value the Inter C Crest Soccer team had a lean season with only one victory, a 4-3 win against Peninsula. Yet the stats do not reflect the many passages of impressive team play, individual effort and classy goals that featured throughout the season. The continual improvement made across the course of the season was undoubtedly down to the unflinching enthusiasm of our MSI’s coach, Christian. He had a close rapport with all the players and taught them ball skills, positional roles and tactics. Given that many players

were new to the sport this level of support was instrumental in forming such strong team bonds. A testament to the balance of the team was the fact that seven different plays were awarded Most Valuable Player game honours throughout the year. Those recipients were Roger Liu, Harrison Powell, Leon Young (Coach’s Award), Jo Huntchinson (Best and Fairest), David Zhou, Colin Wangand Damon Wu. Well done to others not named that also invested genuine effort into their performances from week-to-week. Hopefully the positive team experience will inspire the players to maintain a strong interest in the sport over the coming years. Mr Rick Mason Teacher in Charge

followed by a struggling period with three close losses and a draw. In the losing streak, we focused on capitalising opportunities in training. We soon snapped out of the bad form through a 9-0 victory over PEGS. We scored a total 23 goals from the last three games, which is certainly a great way to end a magnificent season. A player worthy of mention is our goal keeper, Tom Coulter. Though being the shortest player in the team, he certainly stepped up for the job. Jason Einhart and Jacob Amirtharajah were solid all season as the first choice centre backs with Ben Sharrock and Josh Choong on the left and right back respectively. Ben Kimmitt, Conrad Baker, Harry Swingler alongside with Liam Cooper provided crucial dribbles on the wings. Oliver Papillo and Wayne Wu were a deadly strike force, scoring 15 and 8 goals respectively. Last but not least, Harry Shen and Kevin Li did a great job in the centre midfield, one often beating opponents in one on one dribbles with skill and the other directing the balls to the attack with great precision. The latter, with a great vision, finished with 11 assists alongside with 5 goals under his belt. In every game, his deadly accuracy brought the whole team alive. Our teacher and Coach - Mr Nguyen had a great impact on the team; cheering when we are the victors and encouraging when we suffered defeats. Again, the Inter D Blue team, although missing several opportunities to win, had a great season. Oliver Papillo Captain and Kevin Li Assistant

was persistent and tried to the best of their ability. Some special mentions will go to Rob who was loyal all season, Ben Gregory who had the courage of a warrior, Nikila who got the defence going and Javana who never missed a shot. As the captain of this team I am nothing but proud of the boys and their achievements and could not ask for anything more. Another special mention would have to go to the coach, Ben, who was an exceptional leader for the team and we would never have made it to the top without him. Many of the team members had not played soccer before this season, and as a wise man once said, you don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. Jamie Steverlynck Captain

Inter D Mitre Soccer It was a very successful season of soccer for the Inter D Mitre Soccer team, which demonstrated excellent skill-development for all players. There were a number of close matches and this team often came from behind at half time to triumph over the opposition. Overall there were five wins, one draw and only one loss. There were some tireless efforts from players in their pursuit of goals and assists, and there were numerous goal scorers and contributors. All players were responsive to advice from the coach and this often helped to lift the team in the second half. Defenders were well organised and worked on strategies recommended by the coach. All players maintained an excellent attitude and enthusiastic approach to their sport throughout the season. Best and Fairest Trophy was awarded to Ian Kaharudin and Coach’s award to Alan Jiang.

From the very start of the first training to the end of the season, our boys have sustained a solid winning mentality which enabled us to excel through the entire season without a single loss. The fact that we ended up on the top of the ladder is extraordinary and an achievement that nobody will forget.

Inter D Crest Soccer An outstanding season, with no losses and only one draw. The Inter D Crest Soccer team was only a couple of goals short of winning the Friends of Soccer Top team. The students showed great tenacity and eagerness to perform their best. This was also apparent during their training sessions, as Ray Son, the captain, would often lead the warm up session, eagerly ready. Our confident goal keeper, Steven Poon, would often, bravely, run onto the field, much to the dismay of the team, but fortunately, running back to goals, just in time! Many players showed their sheer strength of purpose to score goals and maintain our low score of goals against the team. The whole team should be proud of their incredible season and continue, next season, with their usual forcefulness and determination. Mrs Helen Papageorgiou Teacher in Charge

Inter D Bears Soccer This season has been one of valuable skill acquisition for the team. The first away match of the year showed exactly how much the boys had to learn with Matthew McKenna getting the ball successfully down the field but getting little effective support. A new coach galvanized the boys into a well-earned 2-1 win against Trinity Green. Eamonn Arasaratnam started to demonstrate some effective skills and Will Donnelly began to provide more proactive defense. A series of wins consolidated the team’s winning streak with Jeff Li and Michael Maher asserting themselves on the pitch. Darren Nguyen proved invaluable in a decisive win over Peninsula, but external factors made this one of the less enjoyable matches of the season. Unfortunately, this marked the high point with absence and illness preventing any further wins.

Mr Jason Hall Coach

8A Soccer The 8A Soccer team had a great year and acquitted themselves with fine skills and commitment throughout the season. Unfortunately, the team only won two out of the nine games for the season; despite this the team showed glimpses of what they are capable of in each game. Dimitri Topatsis had fantastic leadership on the field and was a consistent performer throughout the season, whilst Matthew Wu seemed unbeatable in every contest he went to with his blinding pace and determination to win the ball. This season saw the strong development of a lot of players including Lachlan Waycott who with his pace and skill presented a real challenge for opposition defenders, Michael Dimatos and Lewis Winkett were the solid rocks at the back always giving their best to ensure the opposition would not score. All boys learnt some essential tips in training seasons and Davide and Harry the external coaches ran extremely beneficial drills. Well done on a great season boys! Jack Bell Coach

8B Soccer The 8B Soccer team had an excellent season and demonstrated a high level of cohesion and dynamism throughout their campaign. Their consistent level of industry on the field made them a very difficult side to beat and they only lost one game from

all the matches played. As if to underline this impressive achievement, the team had to accommodate a growing number of injuries as the season progressed. This meant that for two of their last matches they were unable to field a full team to face the opposition. Nevertheless, the 8B team rose to the challenge and held Assumption to a draw with only nine players and also held Marcellin Gold to a draw with just ten players. Marcellin Gold had won every other game comprehensively, so the hard-won 2 -2 result was a truly outstanding achievement. The team members consistently demonstrated commitment and sportsmanship on the field of play, and Emmanuel Marcus was exemplary of this attitude throughout the season. Best and Fairest winner Andre Tchakerian, played with a commanding level skill and intensity to regularly galvanise the momentum at the heart of the team. The 8B players have gained a significant level of understanding that will be invaluable as they embark on their senior years at school. Mr Brian McManus Teacher in Charge

8C Blue Soccer There were a few new members to the 8C Blue team this year – all of whom slipped straight into the natural team spirit developed last year by the 7C Blue team. The season went so quickly, the team improving overall from last season, thanks to the awesome coaching of Old Boy (and brilliant Maths student of Ms Norris) Tom Harley (2013).

8C Gold Soccer This season the 8C Gold Soccer team strove for another nine rounds of strong results. Fresh off our ‘Friends of Soccer’ Best Team Award from last year, the boys were very eager to kick off the season. Our first game ended in a thrill when we slotted the game-defining goal in the dying minutes of the game. This result boosted the squad’s confidence to strive for perfection as we have been encouraged to. The overall season was surrounded by positive outcomes with the team winning seven games and only losing two. As always in the 8C Gold team, we thrive off our parent involvement and this year it was taken to new heights. We had our own cheer squad with blue and gold pom-poms, which always encouraged the boys to push themselves through the match. A few highlights this season would include our blistering attack, which saw us net 45 goals, the countless nutmegs and support from our cheer squad. Overall, this season was great. We set out many goals: to win, to have fun, to build relationships. But all in all through the guidance of Coach Harry and Ms Emenyeonu, we were able to grow and develop as a team and as a family.

The boys fronted nine players to Yarra Valley’s eleven on a soaking pitch and did well to keep the losing score down, although William Yang stretched his legs out of goal and showed exactly what he was capable of. Linus Opat, Patrick Osborne, Daniel Shao, Todd Tao and Tommy Wong provided consistent quality throughout the season.

7A Soccer The 7A Soccer team had a very successful and competitive season, finishing with five wins, one draw and three losses. The boys demonstrated great commitment and sportsmanship which made us work really well as a team. Not only did they learn valuable skills and tactics from our external coach Boris Ivanov, they also created new friendships which are seen in the school yard. We had a really strong finish towards the end of the season, even beating the top team PEGS 4-1 and ruining their glory to win the title. The table points were really close and even though we came fourth, you can see that the boys are looking very promising as a team and showing a lot of potential in the forthcoming years.

The boys of the 7B Blue team enjoyed their soccer tremendously this season and played each game with great determination and excellent sportsmanship. Many games were very closely contested, but the team played hard and with admirable team spirit each week. It was most encouraging to see the improved teamwork boys displayed as the season progressed. The 7B Blue team recorded an excellent win against Mentone in Round 7, playing their best game together for a well-deserved win.

7B Gold Soccer It was a great experience taking the 7B Gold Soccer team. It was difficult to have a few different coaches, but the boys played very well and kept improving although we only won two games. Good teamwork and team spirit had developed and boys trained very hard. Parents came to cheer us on, on Saturdays, and brought fruit and lollies to celebrate our victories. Sometimes when the coach was not there, parents stepped up and volunteered to be the coach, and a couple of the boys showed their leadership and took the team to victory. The last game we played was against the strongest team in the competition and our boys played bravely and showed their team spirit and sportsmanship. Although we lost by one goal, this was a proud moment for the team. Mr Wei Ha Teacher in Charge

7C Blue Soccer Well, I can say that the 7C Blue team has gone a long way. For my first season of CGS Soccer, it was a great experience. The team has gone from being a bunch of kids who had never even kicked a soccer ball in their life to a team that knows everyone’s strengths and weaknesses. There were a few players such as Xander Greenaway, Callum Graham and myself who had played in the same club, and thought that we were too good for the team; but we soon realised that the whole team needed us just as much as we needed them. Our first match was a roaring success, winning 4-3. The rest of the season however, did not go so well, losing all our matches. But on the final game, we went in with all guns blazing, drawing two-all to conclude the season with our best game. All in all, I could not think of a better way to start my CGS soccer career. Hugo Fry Captain

7C Gold Soccer Our first game, which was against Trinity, went down very well. Trinity did not get the ball in the net past our goalie Victor Loo and the teamwork of our defenders shone, in particular Cameron, Jayden, Kevin and James A. Unfortunately, no-one got the ball in our side, either, so our first game ended in a 0-0 tie. We lost the next three games against Trinity and PEGS but the team did an excellent effort up front, especially when our strikers, James Tsolakis and Luke Burton, continually moved the ball up to the goal square. In our fifth game against Camberwell’s 7C Blue, we thought we would win easily after beating them in a practice game, but they scored the first goal. We then caught up to them, with Brandon Lee scoring our first goal for the season, and the game ended in a 2-all draw.

Then the unthinkable happened, our goalie, Victor, injured his hand badly in a game, and could not continue to keep. Thankfully, Kevin Chan took his place and did an excellent job between the goalposts. That game, played against Yarra Valley, was a 3-3 draw, and the start of our move up the ladder. The next week we were down on players but that did not keep us from winning our first game. Victor joined James and Luke in the forward, and scored one of the goals. Bill Fang, Phillip Ma, Brandon Petherbridge and Blair Zhang played in the midfield directing the ball. It was a cold morning when we played our second-last game in Ivanhoe. We all played an excellent game, even if Ivanhoe did sneak a goal past our defence. But that only happened twice as Kenny, Ambry and James booted the ball back up to our attack. We lost 2-1 but we knew our last game was going to be a strong one. It was a very strong final game as we won 5-0. We could call it a good game, with Luke Burton scoring his first and the final goal of the season, despite the lack of sportsmanship from the opposition. Nothing could have dampened our spirits and we are all looking forward to playing on next year as the mighty 8C Gold team. The entire team would like to thanks Coach Michael Kosiah for his patience and hard work he put into the team this season. Luke Burton

The First Squad, consisting of Caleb Yii, Steven Dadalias and Harrison Verrios, experienced a difficult season of squash, competing in the Division 1 Junior pennant. Despite playing extraordinarily talented opponents, the squad was able to win four out of ten games throughout the 2015/2016 season. With considerable improvement from last year and matchless enthusiasm, Steven Dadalias rivalled for the number one position in the team, demonstrating much technique and accuracy of shots, scoring the most points in the team. Harrison Verrios, alongside doubles partner Caleb Yii, played many thrilling and tightly contested matches. Equipped with his incredible dives, Harrison showed much athleticism, surprising his opponents with his unparalleled stamina.

The Fourths Squad, consisting of Cameron Miller and Will de la Rue, displayed much improvement from last year. Winning more than half his matches, Cameron’s ever improving technique allowed him to defeat his opponents, lobbing accurate balls across the court. Will also approached these seasons with enthusiasm, able to capitalise in training sessions, reaping the results of close and exciting games. We will be looking forward to their successes in the seasons to come.

Games and training were approached with enthusiasm and determination, so development was rapid despite some very strenuous moments.

Cakmakcioglu brothers, Arman and Emre, formed the Fifth Team in the squad. Building on the skills picked up last year, Arman’s play continued to develop with solid court coverage, displaying his great potential. Emre, joining the squad for the first time, showed excellent racquet precision with accurate placement of shots. Together, the talented duo was able to win four of six games; a great effort by both boys.

The Sixth Team played exceptional squash under tough conditions, winning most of their games. James Thorn, Ishan Vivekanantham and Daniel Spencer all enthusiastically approached the season, willing to learn and mature their general play. Their rotational doubles matches also showed great team cohesion, leading the charge for the next generation of squash. Seventh Team, Paco Tse, Oscar Balla and Daniel Rappel, displayed improvement and development from last year. Once again, zealously approaching the sport, the team was able to dominate other competing schools in their division, cleanly winning their games in the doubles matches. Standout captain Oscar ably led his team to the divisional Grand Final where he won his singles match in an exciting and exhausting five setter, coming back from 2-1 down to seal the first match for Camberwell. Paco

fought hard in his singles match to stay in premier contention. Daniel and Oscar took on the Marcelin doubles combination and made them work hard. In the end, Paco, Daniel and Oscar took their divisions runners-up pennant. It was fantastic to see the Eighth and Ninth Teams on the court as they were mostly composed of young new players. Being the future squash players, the Middle School boys Oliver Powell, Christopher Miller, Yuvraj Pandher and Alexander Greenaway showed a promising start to their careers, picking up some of the finer points with enthusiasm and eagerness. It was great to see them meet between sets to enthusiastically discuss strategies and complement each other on worthy shots. Once again, thanks to Mr Jones for his dedication to squash and the time he commits to organise the boys. Able to encourage and support them, he brings much energy to the sport as well as an enjoyable and formidable opponent from time to time. Caleb Yii

Swimming The first measuring point of where the team was at was the Duel in the Pool against Yarra Valley. Without some key swimmers the team was depleted in the top age events, but the bottom age groups held their own. The boys raced well, with many fast times recorded and the team eventually winning. The third annual Duel in the Pool against PEGS was set to be a close competition after a draw last year. After a long bus trip out to Essendon the boys executed the skills they had been fine tuning in practice, allowing Camberwell to take an early lead but PEGS fought back, defeating Camberwell by one race.

racing practice. The relays were always going to be tough, going up against powerhouse swimming schools from the APS such as Caulfield and Scotch. The highlight of the night was when the CGS Open Butterfly relay took out the Bronze medal. The AGSV Finals night finally arrived to the excitement of most of the team. After long hard weeks of training the team finally got to see how much they had improved over a year. The Under 13 swimmers led the charge, with the relay team of Lewis Clarke, Greg Kerdemelidis, Harry Watson and Alexander Hillman finishing third in both relays. Alexander then backed this up winning his 50m Freestyle (new School Record) and second in the 50m Backstroke, whilst Lewis finished second in his 50m Butterfly and Greg finished second in his 50m Breaststroke. The Under 16 swimmers also produced great results with Connor Xu and Jamie Forwood both medalling in their races whilst the Relay Teams finished second in both races. A special mention has to go to Connor Xu who swam in

the Open 200m freestyle and comfortably won the race in a great time. The Open swimmers also had a good night, with Josh Holding coming first in the 100m Freestyle (a new School Record) and collecting the Bronze in the 100m Butterfly. Both relay teams finished with a Bronze and Silver medal, just being edged out by Mentone in the final race of the night. Overall Camberwell finished third behind powerhouses Mentone and Ivanhoe, so a great all round achievement.

With the previous premiership victory over Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School (PEGS) being extremely close, winning 8 rubbers to 7, all members of the team returned to training with intensity and purpose. From the get go, Camberwell exhibited precision and strength winning against several other schools 15 rubbers to 0. Great acts of professionalism were shown by Nathan Shi, who despite being a new addition to the team, kept his concentration and won all his matches rather convincingly. At the same time Ethan Tang and Bryden Tan illustrated their dedication to the sport, improving their focus as the season progressed and consistently training outside of school in order to be more valuable members of the team. Special mentions to Jonathan Geddes, Eddie Wu and Daniel Jiang for managing to juggle schoolwork, outside commitments and table tennis whilst still being strong assets to the team. Joe Chen also played exceptionally well and with an unflinching spirit throughout. Such depth and diversity within the team ensured the squad made it to the final, once again against archrival PEGS.

The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

The first set of singles went Camberwell’s way. However, despite four out of six players winning their matches convincingly, the tension in the stadium rose when it was only the Captain of each school left playing. In previous meetings this season both the PEGS Captain and Camberwell Captain had defeated each other 3 sets to 2. With encouragement from the entire Camberwell team, on this occasion Camberwell’s Captain managed to win two exceptionally close sets and ultimately take the rubber 3 sets to 1, placing Camberwell in a dominant position. The second set of reverse singles followed a similar pattern, with the majority of Camberwell’s players winning efficiently. However, once again all eyes turned to PEGS’s Captain, who this time was playing Camberwell’s Vice-Captain, Joe Chen. With PEGS’s Captain taking the lead two sets to one, Joe’s situation looked dire. However, after taking a quick break he returned to the match with renewed intensity. Joe took off in the fourth set quickly winning 11-4 and carried this focus into the final set, outplaying PEGS’s Captain in several crucial points and winning 11-9, to claim the rubber 3 sets to 2.

Second Blue Table Tennis Despite the reduced sporting facilities and training times this summer season, the Second Blue Team played exceptionally well, seeing an 8-0 undefeated score, an excellent effort from the team. All boys played with enthusiasm and consistency, dropping very few rubbers overall. Special mentions go to David Han, Yat So, Alexander Tong, Ryan Chow and Henry Wu for their outstanding plays. Thanks to our coach Ms Wang for coordinating training and matches. Sam Yu Year 11

Despite having sealed victory, Camberwell continued into the doubles with clear intent. With all pairs quickly taking leads, they pushed on to win the doubles 3 rubbers to 0, ultimately winning the match an emphatic 13 rubbers to 2. Congratulations to all members of the team for a fantastic season and for the hard work they put in.

The Second Gold Table Tennis Team had an amazing 2015/2016 seasons. We had our ups and downs but overall had a fun and exciting time. During the season, students demonstrated skills and developed very good teamwork. The lunch time training paid off with the team winning five out of eight. All players did their best over the whole season, with notable players being Justin Ren, George Kabourakis, Howard Yang, Nicholas Wu and Edward Tan. In comparison to other seasons this was the most successful by far.

Year 9/10 Table Tennis Following an excellent start to the 2015/2016 season, the Year 9 and 10 Teams unfortunately lost a number of key players and never quite recovered. The Division 1 Blue Team was still dominant, with some excellent performances from the Chen twins and Leon Shang throughout the remaining season. They only missed out on being at the top of the leader board at the end of the competition because of a number of unforeseen forfeits in the final match against Mentone – who then went on to claim top position as a direct result. The Division 1 Gold Team finished fourth, with a total of two wins and five losses. Aiden Mellor and Alan Zhou were consistent performers, and Justin Lee also played competently. The Division 2 Blue Team finished second in their competition, with an impressive final score of six wins and only two losses. There were some pleasing performances

Year 7/8 Table Tennis The Year 7 and 8 Table Tennis Squad enjoyed another successful season with the First Team finishing their rounds undefeated. The Thirds were next best, with five wins and four losses, while the Second Team won four and drew one from their nine rounds. Our best players were Christos Kalas, Jayden Thai (Most Valuable Player), Cadmus Wang and Christian Ling, all winning over 90 percent of rubbers played. Many other players, although not as high in their percentage wins, showed noticeable improvement over the course of the season. The commitment to training, effort on match days and good sportsmanship from all players did not go unnoticed and their contribution to our enjoyment and success this season is

gratefully acknowledged. New boys were welcomed into the squad at the beginning of the year with many showing the potential to be key players in future seasons. To the Year 8s moving up – thank you for your involvement over the past two seasons and best wishes for your future sporting endeavours at Camberwell Grammar School. Thanks to the HWATT coaching staff for continuing to raise the bar for our boys and for your commitment to providing a fun, challenging and rigorous training program.

Taekwondo This year was the squad’s third year. Training took place for an hour and a half twice week at the Booroondara Martial Arts Centre Dojang from the start of Term 2 until the end of Term 3. During this period most Jeja (students) completed two gradings, with the novices obtaining their eighth Gup (Yellow Belt with two stripes) and the longest continuing members achieving their third Gup (Red Belt with one stripe). Additionally, the group participated in a combined activity with Trinity Grammar School’s TKD Squad and an Inter-Club Poomsea Tournament.

The tournament was conducted by the Melbourne Taekwondo Centre. The CGS Squad was successful in winning eleven medals, in a field of over 100 participants from TKD clubs all over Melbourne. The final medal tally included three Gold medals won by Sebastian Baker, William Wu and Kevin Luo; four Silver medals were won by Matt Seddon, Joel Robinson, Sebastian Csutoros and Thomas Lee and four Bronze medals won by Timothy Falloon, Aidan Kwok, Sebastien Montemurro and Joshua Chua. This was an outstanding conclusion to the winter/spring season. The squad greatly appreciates the support provided by Mr Barry Akehurst (sixth Dan Black Belt) who oversaw the training. They look forward to consolidating their achievements under his guidance next year as well as forming stronger partnerships with other schools’ TKD squads. Mr Hamish Green Teacher in Charge

Second Tennis

This year brought a new wave of talent into the First VIII Tennis Team as three new members were welcomed into the team: Julian Scaturchio, a tall player with a big serve, Byron Wu who possess a sound backhand, and Alex Wilson-Brown a raw talent, keen to develop his skills. The team’s hopes were high after a successful 2014/2015 season, but knew it was going to be tough to overcome the top teams. The boys are to be praised for their commitment and their enthusiasm throughout the entire season, as they demonstrated a determined approach which fostered a positive team spirit. The fierce competition motivated the boys to rise to many challenges, each of them having personal victories. Unfortunately, the team’s effort was not reflected in the overall result this season, finishing in seventh. Two matches were lost, eight sets all (loss on games), including a thrilling encounter against the power house Ivanhoe team. A few points either way could have resulted in two more victories and a different outlook overall. Nonetheless, these experiences should serve the boys well next year, should they face more close encounters.

It was a successful season for the Second Tennis Team with just two overall defeats. The wins comprised some dominant team displays, thanks to an even skill set across the board. Highlights included Nathan Huynh’s powerful ground strokes, despite obvious discomfort at early morning starts, while Ted Lau’s sometimes erratic serving was a joy to watch when in form. The team travelled to PEGS twice in 2016 and the bus rides made for some interesting conversation and cutting banter. The season finished in fine fashion with a win over PEGS, thanks in part to Dan Straw and Lucas Lewit-Mendes’ teamwork, which enabled them to overcome the opposition’s number one doubles pairing. Solid contributions from the ever consistent Brandon Lam and Simon Ravenhill ensured the side ended the season victoriously.

The Third Gold Tennis Team has experienced a fulfilling and successful season finishing sixth in the 2015/2016 CGS Arthurs Cup Championship. Consisting of Brian Kim, Jonathan Lim, Jordan Ly, Daniel Marinopoulos, John Ninis, Jonathan Ong, Aidan Stuckey, Johnny Xu, Jasper Young, Andrew Zhang and Daniel Zhang, they had only one loss, and maintained morale and enthusiasm throughout. The boys worked effectively as a team and provided some strong opposition for their opponents. Special mentions must go to joint winners of the Most Valuable Player award: Jonathan Lim and Brian Kim.

The Fourth Gold Tennis Team had a successful season only losing a handful of games, on a few occasions the final score came down to the last match of the day. All players showed improvement from the start of the season till the end and should be very proud of the progress they have made. It was great to see that all players gave every match their very best effort as well as their Tuesday morning training sessions. Well done to Jay Tee and William Chen who worked hard at training, performed consistently each week and often scared oppositions with their fast serves and ability to prolong a point. Jacky Huang worked hard at training every week and was rewarded with a great win in the last match against a strong Mentone outfit.

A strong start to the season saw two weeks of quality tennis and convincing wins at home. Joshua Soares, David Roberts and Rashay Kotecha quickly established themselves as solid performers, playing undefeated in combination doubles throughout the season. Adverse playing conditions made play hard going at PEGS and the boys were defeated, but both Carson Hui and Ethan Hausler acquitted themselves well and continued to do so throughout the season.

Third Mitre Tennis The dominant impression that this team would have left on opposition teams was that each member of the squad played to win in a fair and friendly manner. Matches were played with genuine intent, irrespective of the score. Solid wins against Assumption, PEGS and Ivanhoe were worthy rewards for earnest match play. The highlight of tight struggles for the season was undoubtedly the tie against Trinity at 6 sets and 52 games apiece. Whilst all players should be commended on their effort, the tenacious pairing of Vincent Zhu and Mac Hill created a series of enthralling battles throughout the season, and credit to Jimmy Zhang who was often given the responsibility of our top seeded player. For many, this season represented the culmination of many years of tennis for the school, and they should be proud of the quality of their participation. Mr Rick Mason Teacher in Charge

Fourth Mitre Tennis The Fourth Mitre Tennis Team progressed well over the course of the season although struggled to convert their promising play into victories in AGSV matches. Liam Hynes and Colin Shi achieved impressive results against strong opponents. Nick Barnes, Jerry Cheng, Ethan Lee and Miles Ormerod also played some exciting tennis throughout the season. It was particularly pleasing to see the progress made by Richard Yuan, Henry Liu and Savas Marcou who were involved in many close matches, often coming out on top. Joseph Parker was awarded the Most Valuable Player award for his fine singles and doubles play, and his positive attitude throughout the season.

A midweek focus on sustaining their rallies and improving the quality of their serves paid off with convincing wins against Trinity Green, Yarra Valley and Assumption. Alan Dang continued to develop the confidence of his game, and Charles Huang’s understated qualities consistently won him sets. Hugh Williamson and Alan Chen provided reliably solid and dependable play. 10B Blue showed themselves to be a reliable, conscientious and mutuallysupportive team who accredited themselves well this season.

The team’s performance in all matches was excellent and the Fourth Blue Team finished in the middle of the School’s internal Tennis ladder; a great result.

The 10A Tennis Team started the season off on a high, winning the first three round comfortably. The boys then can across some very hard competition, Yarra Valley Grammar and Trinity but Camberwell showed determination throughout the tough matches and should be congratulated on their season. Tu Tue Truong was a very solid player and Nick Goss the number one player always had very strong opposition but put up a tough battle each week. The most improved player and Most Valuable Player went to Liam Pietralla. Liam showed dedication, patience and enthusiasm at each training session and game days. Congratulations to all boys on the season.

The 10B Gold Tennis Team found that the competition against other schools was quite challenging and unfortunately we were not rewarded with a win. The team consistently worked with endeavour, and throughout the season we kept on improving and working harder which did lead to better results. I would also like to congratulate Emile Akbarzadeh who showed a lot of consistency nearly winning all his games in singles and doubles. The boys always stayed positive, showing great sportsmanship and could see that during the season the boys had formed great relationships with each other and will continue to grow in the future.

The Fourth Blue Team won six of the eight matches and the losses were sharply contested. The most hard-fought match was against Yarra Valley, whereby the final set would be the decider. The final score was six sets each and Fourth Blue was victorious with 49 games while Yarra Valley secured 47 games. It was a neck-to-neck confrontation.

9A Tennis The 9A Tennis Team had a very successful season with only one major loss finishing second place on the AGSV ladder. All players displayed commitment to improving their skills and responded to advice given by the coach. Many players have been able to develop strategies to set up points in doubles matches with stronger serving and greater confidence in volleying. However there is still a tendency for some players to rely on consistency rather than going for the ‘winners’. Such consistency has certainly provided success at this level. As the season developed it became more and more apparent that the team had very even skill levels making it difficult to decide the order of play. Many players are now aware of their weaknesses and should be able to work on them for next season.

The scoreboard did not accurately reflect the achievements of the 9B Gold Tennis Team over the 2015/2016 season. Our score of one win from nine matches does not reflect the improvements made by the squad, the dedication to training and 100% attendance at all games. It does not acknowledge the bonding of new team members over the course of the season, two of whom had never played the game before. It does not recognise the dogged determination exemplified by the winner of our Most Valuable Player award, Harrison Pham. And it does not give any measure of the enjoyment we all experienced from our tennis – by all these measures, 9B Gold Tennis had a very successful season.

The highly committed and competitive 9B Mitre Team had an exceptional season of tennis, securing top position on the AGSV Table in their division. In addition, their consistency on the courts led them to attaining the Wayne Arthurs’ Cup, the ultimate prize for competing tennis teams at Camberwell Grammar School.

Mr Joe Tierney Teacher in Charge

Opponents in the early matches of the season were dispatched with a clinical and commanding confidence as skilled partnerships began to emerge. Alan Jiang and Aidan Chu were rampant in the top seeded positions with Divjot Walia and Oscar Tong proving to be worthy competitors to their rankings. Nevertheless the team’s high level of achievement was only attainable through the excellence demonstrated by the whole team. Jacky Li, Henry Sutton and Will Donnelly were notably among the dependable cornerstones of the team and they helped to make the last sets in a number of games extremely close and entertaining. William Dancey and Jake Oh were calm and effective in their approach, establishing individual sets to add to team victories. However all players were worthy of mention which made choosing a single player to be awarded the title of Most Valuable Player a very difficult task, with the accolade eventually awarded to Alan Jiang.

A hard fought early morning game against PEGS led to the Mitre team’s only defeat, but this only served to galvanise the team against complacency and they proceeded to win all their remaining matches, handsomely finishing with a 12-0 set victory against Peninsula.

Second Volleyball The 2nd Volleyball Team has come a long way since their first game together back in October of 2015. When we began the team was a group of individuals that put their names down to play some Volleyball, nine rounds later we were a team that could read the play of the game and understand each other’s strengths on the court. We came to play according to these strengths and although we only came out of the season with one win under our belt we had many sets to our name. These winning sets were the result of many very close games of volleyball.

The 2015/16 volleyball season brought together a mixed ability team of boys who had never played together, although within a few training sessions that was not at all apparent to our opponents. The impressive outcome over the course of the season of four wins and four losses was indicative of their level of commitment to the sport and to each other. Every player developed impressive skills, by the end of the season they were playing in positions and communicating as a unit. Our captain Alexander Kyriakos bolstered the team tirelessly when needed and of particular note were the serving skills of Phillip Corso and Michael Donaldson. A memorable day was the CGS v Mentone Grammar game where the teams were closely matched, every point was hotly contested and we beat a formidable opponent 2-1. Overall a wonderful season by a talented group of volleyball players. Ms Suzan Davies Teacher in Charge

9/10 Gold Volleyball The 9/10 Volleyball Gold Team had, from a statistical point of view, a notably unsuccessful season: we did not win a single match, coming closest to victory in our 2-1 set loss to our own school side, Camberwell Blue. However, sportsmanship is tested in defeat, not happy times; and true sportsmanship, in successive

defeats. Everyone showed up to training in good spirits nonetheless and worked hard to make progress in specific skill areas. Liam Naser, for example, served two balls over the net in the final match, whereas at the start of the year, he could not manage any. Henry Koswig’s digging and passing became much more consistent, Julian Hastings learned to contact the ball from a lower position, Linus Opat began to communicate and generate vocal momentum on court, and Ming Kim Low progressed from outstanding individual player to a more confident and inspirational team leader. Sincerest thanks to all players who made this season a memorable one for their courage, their resilience and their dedication to incremental improvement. Dr Tebb Kusserow Teacher in Charge

7/8 Volleyball Despite a season of mixed results that saw some close wins against teams, like Trinity Green, and some equally close defeats by others, like Marcellin Maroon, the 7/8 Team remained a force to be reckoned with in this season’s competition. Thanks must go to Frank Bité and Ethan Lack for the excellent leadership they have shown on and off court as Captain and Vice-Captain. The other Year 8 players – Joel Connell, Ming Jin Low, Sebastien Montemurro, Daniel and Matthew Tempany and Max Whittle – created a supportive team that helped nurture some impressive improvements in new Year 7 players like Samuel Hardy, who became the setter extraordinaire in our last game against Marcellin. We wish the Year 8 players well as they move into the 9/10 Teams next season and look forward to seeing the current Year 7 members – Evan Giasoumi, Samuel Hardy, James Tsolakis, Will Wallis and Alexander Zervas – develop into the leaders of next season’s team. Mr Matthew Wood Teacher in Charge

Water Polo AWARDS Open Water Polo Best and Fairest Christopher Kerdemelidis Open Water Polo Coach’s Award Rowan Solomon and Projit Banerjee “Premiers This Year Are We”

Sport

If we can borrow a line from the football verse of the Sports Song, it is gratifying to learn that the Open Water Polo team was AGSV Premiers for the second year running. Going through the season undefeated with significant wins in most games saw the team combine exceptionally well each week to claim the Premier School title. The future is bright for continued water polo success with the new school pool in operation in 2017 which will make training and match play smoother and give all players the opportunity to train more with specific attention to skill development and fitness. In the Junior Competition Camberwell Blue had a very competitive season finishing third and narrowly missing the Grand Final by one goal. Camberwell Gold were able to push most of the other teams around the pool with some very close results and came away with three good wins finishing in fifth place. Camberwell Mitre gave their all throughout the season finishing in fourth place. The Intermediate A and B teams were competitive also and are to be congratulated for their doggedness in the face of a difficult season in regard to training opportunities.

Ms Amanda Argyros Mrs Fiona Iverson After 24 years of dedicated service, Miss Fiona Iverson retired at the end of 2016. Fiona joined Camberwell Grammar as a library technician in 1993, 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. As well as undertaking the many shared duties associated with a library, Fiona’s key role was the maintenance and development of our fiction collection, which caters for the reading interests of both students and staff. Her extensive knowledge of books and authors was put to good use by anyone searching for ‘that particular book whose details escaped them’ and her recommendations were widely sought. Fiona’s professionalism, efficiency and dedication to her job ensured the smooth running of many routine library tasks and her competence with computers and library software set us in the right direction on many occasions.

Miss Amanda Argyros joined the Development office staff in December 2005 as a receptionist with general office administration duties. Amanda’s interest in, and ability to relate to a wide range of people, and her skills in organising special events very quickly became apparent as she settled into her role.

Amanda has left full time employment to pursue university studies in Computer Science and we wish her well in her studies and in future roles, and thank her for the terrific contribution she has made to Camberwell Grammar School in her various roles. Mrs Elizabeth Board

We will miss her warm sense of humour, her kindness and consideration, and the energy and dedication with which she approached her work. We wish her well in this new stage of her life. Mrs Catherine Casey

Over her 10 years at Camberwell Grammar School Amanda developed the role into one which encompassed reception work, office administration and community liaison. She became well known for her willingness to assist other members of staff and for her work with our wider community. Parent Support Groups and more recently, the OCGA committee and Old Boys of all ages who contacted or visited the school came to rely on Amanda’s expertise, excellent customer service and attention to detail, and to appreciate her warm welcome.

Her love of animals, cats in particular, was known to many and one of our most popular library displays featured annotated images of the pets of students and staff.

Ms Samantha Braun Sam joined Camberwell Grammar School in 2013 following several years as a teacher at St Kevin’s. Whether she fell into boys’ education by accident or choice, one thing is for certain, they respect her enormously. Sam became a teacher to help students learn and if there is one thing you can be certain of with Sam’s classes, they are always well-prepared and engaging. But more than this, it is the genuine interest Sam has in assisting each and every one of her students. Building positive relationships is at the core of who Sam is, and this is clearly evident with her students - always finding time to sit and work through a problem or provide feedback, her support going well beyond her love of science. During her time at CGS Sam has been there and done most things – Form Teacher (Year 8), House Tutor (Derham), Year 7, 8 and 9 Science, Year 11 and 12 Biology, Year 8 Transition Camp, Year 8 Surf Camp, Year 9 Multi-Activity Camp, Friday Afternoon Circuit Training Activity, Tennis coach, Soccer coach, Teacher in Charge of

Not to rest on her laurels, this year Sam undertook further study in Biology at the University of Melbourne enabling her to teach the extension program at CGS, providing our students with more opportunities in their studies.

Meg Hall came to CGS in 2013, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge, experience Ms Rachael Falloon and expertise in early childhood music education. She quickly established a warm and encouraging classroom environment, giving the lower primary boys a love of music as they explore sound in its numerous guises. With Meg’s guidance, music has become a favourite part of the day for many young boys. They love to sing, read, play and listen to music in this important beginning of their musical life. Meg has established and nurtured the Year 2/3 training choir known as the ‘Superstars’. She has encouraged boys to develop their playing of treble and descant recorder in the Recorder Ensemble and has introduced djembes to the Percussion Ensemble.

In this position she encouraged boys to extend their reading and designed our popular genre-themed brochures to assist them in their search for books. Aware of the appeal of film, she frequently utilised book trailers and video clips to rouse student interest and created a variety of activities and quizzes for each day of Book Week each year.

In 2009 Linda helped design a Research Skills and Literature program for Year 6 students, which introduced the boys to the library, developed their skills in researching and which expanded over the years to embrace visual literacy in the form of picture books and graphic novels. As a teacherlibrarian with a sound understanding of learning and the curriculum, she liaised with other teaching staff to make suggestions for class texts and to select resources for projects and assignments. A supportive and dedicated library team member, she worked alongside other library staff to ensure we provided a well-resourced library and an environment conducive to learning. A founding member of the CGS Staff Book Club, Linda loved nothing better than discussing books and films with her colleagues and regularly recommended titles based on her own wide-ranging reading. We miss her friendly, outgoing personality, her delight in literature and her passion for music and film and we wish her well in her retirement.

When The CGS Library changed the cataloging system from Bibliotheque to Oliver Julie had to re-catalogue the collection for sensible ease of access. Along with the Music Library work, which was never-ending, Julie also fulfilled the role as assistant to the Music Administrator. She was often called upon for tasks over and above her normal duties, due to the hectic nature of the music office. Julie was ticket secretary for all the main concerts, clerical officer and IT teacher for the instrumental teachers as they learnt the new systems.

Ms Rafaela Cleeve Gerkens

Exact and precise, efficient and honest, elegant and charming, Julie was an indispensable part of the Highton and Mallinson Music School team. If anyone asked “Where’s Julie?” she was usually to be found in the “closet” under the stairs in the Mallinson building busily cataloging, sorting or repairing the collection. Julie has made an enormous and invaluable contribution and has enriched the progress and inner workings of the Music Department beyond measure. We are indebted for all she has done for us in so many ways, for her friendship, collegiality and loyalty. We wish Julie many happy years of retirement, good health, enriching travels and joy in all the future holds. Mr David Byrne

We wish Deb and her family an exciting and fulfilling new chapter together in Singapore.

Mrs Deborah Arasaratnam

Ms Rafaela Cleeve Gerkons Raf came to Camberwell Grammar School in 2014 as a graduate of Law and with a Masters of Teaching, joining the School as a Year 3 teacher. With a commitment to both the craft and science of teaching along with a tremendous work ethic, Raf immediately created a classroom environment where cheerful calm prevailed and the learning was palpable. Ever the perfectionist, during her three years at CGS, Raf continued to seek out advice from others. She left no stone unturned in her determination to understand and interpret the curriculum for her boys and to incorporate best practices into her teaching. Her exhaustive planning and organisation set a high standard for the boys who rose to meet her challenges.

Mrs Julie Beasley joined the staff in the Music School in 2004 as Music Librarian, specifically to catalogue the entire music collection. She had just concluded a similar job at Loreto Mandeville Hall. Nothing was recorded at CGS except in Trevor Henley’s head, so began the mammoth task. Julie was a godsend as, for the first time, we had the entire music collection on a data base for loan or hire. Once this was done Julie then began the challenging task of recording all the school instruments.

Raf’s energy and enthusiasm extends beyond the classroom. In addition to participating in rigorous ballet classes after school, she has regularly featured in musical theatre productions for the University of Melbourne Musical Theatre Association, including Urinetown, Thoroughly Modern Milly and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

true friend to all the CGS staff. Whether you needed assistance, advice or an overly emphasised sound effect he was the man to see. He has made a profound and lasting impact on the families in his care, giving them the same warmth and enthusiasm as he did to every day in the village.

In addition to his role as a subject teacher, Mark aptly fulfilled the roles as a coach for improving teachers’ delivery of content and to manage the grade distribution for all subjects in the Middle School. These are two of many examples that demonstrate his high capabilities and willingness to extend himself beyond the normal expectations of a teaching role.

Rohan moves to a classroom position at Yarra Valley Grammar School. The move will bring him closer to home and his two beautiful children, Sophie and Hamish. The staff of CGS wishes Rohan all the best in this next chapter of his life and thank him enormously for his time as a friend and staff member of the school.

Mark’s sense of humour, passion for educating young men and ability to engage with people from all areas of the community will be sorely missed.

Mr Peter Hutchinson (Past Staff) 19 FEBRUARY 1938 – 17 SEPTEMBER 2016 When David Dyer became Headmaster in 1966, he was determined to take CGS to the forefront of private schools in this state, if not in Australia. Vital to the achievement of this goal was the securing of appropriate staff. By appointing Peter Hutchinson to the staff in 1967, he selected a man who was to become an integral part of the journey towards recognition, his contribution to the School in keeping with a man of his stature. Hutchie enjoyed teaching; he enjoyed being in the classroom. It mattered not whether it was with a lowly stream of Year 9 Maths or a Year 12 Physics class; he loved it all. He was an excellent judge of his students, and they responded well to his encouragement and motivation. In 1984, he became Head of Science, much to the delight of his colleagues, who appreciated his style of leadership. The David Danks Science Laboratories were in the planning stage, and, until their opening in 1991, Hutch attended many meetings with the architects and builders, being closely involved in the creation of what were to be outstanding facilities. In 1973, when David Dyer wanted to increase the number of Houses from four to six, to meet the demand of burgeoning numbers, it was a move he could not make without being absolutely certain he had the right people to fill the new positions. Hutchie became the inaugural House Master of Schofield, his house rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with. As Housemaster, first of Schofield and later Bridgland, he earned the trust and respect of his charges; they knew they could always come to him for advice, for a fair hearing and support, and literally hundreds of boys have cause to be grateful for his tutelage. Hutchie excelled, not only in the class room, but also on the sporting field. He had joined 260

Power House Football Club when he first came to Melbourne in 1956 to pursue his Science degree at Melbourne University, and over the next twenty years, played 363 games with the Club, being Captain for six seasons and winning its Best and Fairest Award a record seven times. He was declared a VAFA Legend and awarded Life Membership of the Association. After many years of football and cricket, Hutchie took up tennis. A keen player, he became President of his local club, steering it through the difficult years of massive water restrictions, obtaining grants from the Boroondara City Council, the School and the Bendigo Bank to build water-free courts and then overseeing their construction. When he set his mind on achieving something, he was a hard man to refuse. At CGS, Hutchie played a vital role in the resurgence of the School’s reputation on the sporting field. As Master-in-charge of Football, he played an important role in creating a strong ethos in the School’s football teams and establishing a style of play that saw the School win the majority of its AGS games during the ‘seventies and ‘eighties, though not even he could break the Assumption hoodoo. In Ron Wootton’s absence at the Olympics in Munich, Hutchie took over the First XVlll and the School AGS Swimming team. For thirty odd years in the Athletics season, he trained the School’s shot putters, introducing what is still remembered as the Sigalas glide. All this in addition to a seriously full House sport programme, with Schofield being the first of the new Houses to win the coveted Jarrett Cup. When he retired from playing football with Power House, the Old Camberwell Grammarians Football Club was quick to make the most of his extraordinary knowledge of the game, appointing him as its coach. Hutch quickly took the team to a premiership, ironically disposing of Power House in the preliminary final on the way. His contribution to the OCGA was rewarded later with Honorary Life Membership. Over the years, despite his heavy commitment to CGS, Hutch retained his strong ties with Power House, especially as Chef de Cuisine at Big Camp, Easter Camp, Special Kids’ camps and work camps. In recognition of his dedication, he was awarded Honorary Life Membership of Lord Somers Camp and Power House. He shared his culinary skills with Camberwell Grammar, cooking at all sorts of School camps (many of them at Somers), play rehearsal camps; Art camps and First XVlll Football training camps. At various times, he was President of both the CGS Past Parents’ and the CGS Past Staff associations, organizing functions as

diverse as Croquet days at Kingussie, Frog racing in the Common Room and, in the PAC, a TAB race meeting and auction. Hutchie loved a good party and had a seemingly endless repertoire of jokes, limericks and songs. Be it in Swannie’s or the Common Room, his love of life was infectious. His singing voice had its own quite distinctive pitch, and many have revelled in listening to such classics as ‘The Little Red Hen’ and ‘Sweet Little Angeline’, a rendition of the former featuring in his commemorative service at Power House Lakeside. Hutch was to say the least, an enthusiastic participant and joined in a number of School productions, most notably the 1986 Centenary Revue at the National Theatre in St Kilda, where he featured in both the show’s opening number and its finale. The revue began with ‘Willcommen’ from Cabaret and there was Hutch in the chorus line, replete with a frilly tutu and fishnet stockings – he made a formidable Grundhilde. And that was not the last the audience was to see of him. The finale included ‘Farewell Auntie Jack’, with the ABC icon being played by Hutch, sidecar, boxing glove, an energetic Kid Edgar, played by Irving Lenton and all. The School magazine for 1986 records the closing of the revue in the following manner: “Song and dance was plentiful at the conclusion to Act ll … and the cast returned to bid goodbye to Auntie Jack, played by the great, great Peter Hutchinson. Appropriately, in our Centenary Year, ‘The Best of Times is now’ ended a memorable evening’s entertainment.” “… the great, great Peter Hutchinson” such was the respect and affection he had earned from staff and students. In an attempt to quantify Hutchie’s contribution to Camberwell Grammar over his 33 years at the School, CGS could be compared to an ocean liner, the Headmaster, hand on helm, directing the course; below in the engine room, the likes of Hutch being the source of the power that keeps the vessel moving. Over the last few years, Peter traversed fairly stormy seas, but at last he has found his peace and as William Wordsworth would have it, “… all that mighty heart is lying still.” CGS is forever in his debt.

Staff Notes He concluded: “I would like to dedicate this revue tonight to everyone I have worked with over the years, in memory of the friendships, the interests, the good entertainment and the unfailing enthusiasm I have encountered over the years.” In addition to directing the annual school play, Mr Brown produced the drama evening during the three-day Arts Festivals of the ‘sixties. He introduced drama into the House competition, encouraging boys to write their own scripts for presentation; the perpetual trophy for House Drama is named in his honour.

6 DECEMBER 1930 – 12 MAY 2016 After a successful career on the professional stage and a stint at Malvern Grammar, Mr Tony Brown joined the staff at Camberwell Grammar School, teaching History and English, coaching tennis and quickly becoming part of the School’s drama scene, playing Hotspur in Max Howell’s production of Henry 1V Pt 1. Mr Howell stood aside as director in 1962, rightly confident that he was passing the school play into good hands. Thus, in 1963, Mr Brown produced the first of his twenty-six annual productions, The Tea House of the August Moon. His later plays included everything from Medea and Sheridan to Inherit the Wind and Alan Bennett. With the invaluable assistance of the Music Department, first, John Mallinson and later Trevor Henley, Mr Brown presented over the years Lola Montez, The Music Man, Guys and Dolls, The Pyjama Game, and in 1986, the Centenary Revue, at the National Theatre in St Kilda. In the programme notes accompanying the centenary revue, Tony had this to say to those in the audience who had been members of past casts: “The hit song from Cats is to be sung tonight, and I suppose after all this time, I qualify as being something like Gus, the theatrical cat. And what better to say of the past than the finale, “The Best Times is Now”? “From monkey trials to musicals, from satires to Shakespeare, with so much talent available in the boys from Camberwell and the girls from Fintona, I have been fortunate enough to have shared that legendary sensation described as the rising of the hairs on the back of one’s head, as a group of actors capture a perfect moment of truth. The honesty and sincerity of youthful performers constantly amazes and moves me deeply.”

With the 1973 creation of two new Houses, Mr Brown took on further responsibility as the foundation Housemaster of Bridgland House, within which he engendered a strong sense of belonging, a feeling of loyalty within the newly created group, much the same sort of spirit that he successfully created each year amongst cast and crew.

He had the happy knack of getting people to work together: Ron Wootton designed the sets for all of Tony’s plays often using his art classes to build and then paint them. Tony’s wardrobe ladies were legendary: Claire In 1968, Mr Brown was persuaded to join Naylor, Merrin Darling, Helen Murray, Jenny the cast of Shut Up and Deal, an original Riedel. Pam Elliott, Greg Wharton, Stephen musical written by Leslie Potts, at that stage, Jones were tireless in their assistance. a member of the English staff.

Staff Notes over a bottle of red or a good meal, putting the World and the Church to rights, calling out hubris, injustice, and sheer stupidity for what it was.

David Dyer AM (Headmaster of Camberwell Grammar School, 1966 to 1987) 17 APRIL 1927 - 19 NOVEMBER 2016 Today we give thanks to God for the gift that David was to us – as husband, father, grandfather, brother, mentor, friend. The photo on the front of today’s Funeral Mass booklet is one that many of you gathered here today will relate to - David the teacher, the educator, the school principal. I, however, only got to know David after he had retired as a school principal - yet he remained until the end a teacher, an educator - and I mean right to the end - for in many ways, even in his last days, he was still teaching - teaching those closest to him how to die well! That David was a great teacher is evidenced by the stories you hear from former students and colleagues. But what made him so? To my mind it was because David wasn’t just a lifetime teacher he was also a lifetime student. He never got to that stage where he believed he knew it all - there was nothing left to learn. He had an open mind and an open heart. He surprised many because he could not be conservatively constrained by the ideological box that many thought should have contained him. No! He was always open to test and challenge thoughts, arguments, policies, political and religious beliefs. He was captive to no one - he tested even the most sacred political or religious pontifications against his own understanding of the Christian faith, the best of human wisdom, the mercy and compassion demanded by Christ, and in the end by his own conscience. My best memories of David as friend and teacher are the times spent together, usually

It was my great privilege to be with him at the barricades - to those places where conscience and learning led him: protesting in Wendouree over gun control (probably the only time he supported a Howard policy), participating as a founding member of the Ballarat Asylum Seeker Support Network, membership of the Ballarat branch of the Australian Republican Movement in the days before Turnbull sold his soul to political pragmatism, out on the streets of Ballarat protesting against the privatisation of our State’s essential services during the Kennett years, feeding the destitute at Ballarat Cathedral’s Sunday lunches. But, importantly, this activism, which included more letters to the editors of our national papers than perhaps even Betty thought wise, was not based on the all too common blind support for one political stream of thought over the other - but born solely out of his conviction over what was right, true and just. Hence he called out the refugee policy of both of our major political parties for what it was and is unjust. His regular forays into educational policies where not just born of his long experience but of his belief that educational opportunities must be just, inclusive and open to all - centred always on the good of the student. Back in the Buninyong days one of the books David and I shared and discussed was the John la Carre novel, ‘The Constant Gardener’. It is a story that explores the dark side of unbridled capitalism and the exploitation by multinationals of third world countries. La Carre’s dedication at the beginning of the book will always remind me of David. ‘For Yvette who lived and died giving a damn’. David was the man he was because he lived and died giving a damn. And so we celebrate his faithfulness as a disciple of Christ and his living out of his faith in his daily life. We celebrate and give thanks for the influence that he has been on all of us. And the best influence that any of us can be remembered for is that of living a life

of the Beatitudes – the life of the Gospel – gentleness, thirsting for what is right and just, being merciful, a peacemaker, and pure of heart. For then we can rejoice and be glad for our reward will be great in heaven. In today’s second reading, St. Paul writes to Timothy: “As for me I am already being poured out as a libation and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight.” A libation is a sacrificial offering – and in fighting the good fight David poured out his own life in sacrificial service. He has now finished the race: in service of his beloved family, in service of friends and neighbours, in service of his students and fellow teachers, in service of the outcast, the downtrodden, the refugee and the asylum seeker, in service of his Lord and Saviour. In the first reading from the Book of Ecclesiastes, we were reminded that there is a time and a season for everything. A time for sorrow – a time for joy. A time for mourning - a time for dancing. A time for birth – a time for death. This is now David’s time – and for him there will be no more sickness, no more anguish, no more pain and no more dying, no more letters to the editor. Now it is just the joy of new birth and the eternal life promised him by Christ. For us it is a time for death – a time for mourning and sadness – but time will turn – the season will change – and in the right time we will share his eternal time of joy and new birth that is his for eternity. David, may flights of angels lead you on your way to paradise, and heaven’s eternal day. And thank you for giving a damn. Amen. The homily presented at David Dyer’s funeral by Fr. Bill Edebohls.

In Term 1 and Term 3 the Auxiliary organised the refreshments for the parent teacher interviews in the Wheelton Centre. Term 2 and 3 saw the preparation and cooking of our famous Christmas puddings with the return of the extra small puddings. We made 735 puddings and the extra small puddings sold out fast. As always we had a fantastic group of helpers with about 25 mums and 3 dads (for the first time in the 4 years I have been involved).

Open day saw our cake stall sell out as always as well as the selling of more puddings sold. We also had a memorabilia stall. At Grandparent’s Day we had another opportunity to sell memorabilia and puddings, where due to the changed format we did not need to supply cakes and slices. Thanks to all involved in our group for their support this year. Every bit of help is much appreciated and it is great to see that this year we have been getting more members at our committee meetings. Thanks also to the ladies in the Development Office who do a great job supporting us. Mrs Nicole Loidl Convenor

Term 3 began with the PA’s major social event for 2015, the Parents’ Social. This year our theme was ‘80’s Revival’ featuring Prince making a comeback, Robert Palmer’s backing band and many more. I would like to thank Mrs Sam Terriaca, Mrs Kath Wagstaff and Mrs Roseanne Perri for the fantastic effort they put in again this year as all their organisation and creativity made it a very enjoyable night for all. It is with much sadness that we learnt of the recent sudden death of James Clyne and offer our condolences to James’ family and friends. James worked tirelessly on the sets and decorations for the Parents’ Socials held in the PAC and he will be missed by us and the Drama Department greatly.

Support Groups Swap Shop (PLUS – Pre-Loved Uniform Shop)

Community

The Swap Shop continues to be well patronised by the school community. For most shop openings our parent volunteers are kept busy fitting out boys with new (pre-loved) uniforms as well as accepting items that are no longer required. Once again, we have been able to support the scholarship and French exchange students with uniforms and given assistance to various other staff and departments within our school. The year has seen us consolidate the new initiatives instigated in 2015. Our EFTPOS system is now fully functional and as a result we have noticed a phasing out of the use of cheques by purchasers, who prefer instead, to use the paperless options. Along with this, we have established our direct deposit payment system, which most sellers are now using as their preferred payment method. As the completion of the school’s latest redevelopment approaches, we are keenly monitoring the final fit out of our new shop! Situated close to the staff car parking in the basement, the new premises are to be fitted out to suit the needs of the shop, with a significant increase in shop space and onsite storage capacity. To complement this upgrade in facilities, we are taking the opportunity to change the name of the shop, so that it correctly reflects its purpose. From 2017, we will be known as the Pre-Loved Uniform Shop or PLUS. A new logo will also be launched to give the shop identity and presence within the school community. This year we have welcomed a further nine new and enthusiastic volunteers to our team. Sadly, as the year ends, we will farewell one of our executive volunteers, Mrs Anne Harding as her third and youngest son finishes Year 12. We would like to acknowledge the wonderful contribution Anne has made to the Swap Shop over several years, serving the last few as our Banker / IT assistant / stock processor and general counsel, and we wish her well in her next endeavors post CGS! We would also like to thank Dr Paul Hicks for his support of our new shop and the Development Office

CGS Cadet Auxiliary Another great year to represent the Cadet Auxiliary and be involved with the CGS Cadet Unit. Our association with the CGS ANZAC Day Dawn Service continues and our team of helpers served breakfast and hot/cold beverages in a friendly relaxed atmosphere after the service on the grassed area adjacent to the Wheelton Centre. Many attendees chose to gather in that space to reflect together afterwards on the service and to remember our fallen ANZACS. The Cadet Auxiliary look forward to continuing our support of the CGS ANZAC Day Dawn Service. This year, our fundraising BBQs and Open Day stall have enabled the Cadet Auxiliary to provide essential equipment to our cadets including large portable solar panels, tents and a large mobile cooler esky. Commemorative frames were again presented to Year 12 Cadets at the Annual Cadet Dinner to celebrate their achievements and contribution to the Cadet unit over their years in the cadet unit. Our Cadet Auxiliary now welcomes Mrs Pam de la Rue, Cadet Auxiliary Convenor 2017 with a dedicated team remaining on the Auxiliary next year. We say goodbye and thank you to departing Year 12 parents and committee members Mr Andrew and Mrs Karen Murphy and Mrs Maria Augustes.

Cadet Auxiliary thank them for their invaluable contribution on the Auxiliary. Thank you to all Auxiliary members for your assistance and support at meetings, BBQs and Open Day, to Mrs Liz Ferentinos for her large donation of salted caramel popcorn at Open Day, to Mr Michael Neal our Cadet unit representative and to the cadets who were always available to lend a hand at our BBQs or promote the unit at our Year 9 Training Day and Open Day. As the departing Convenor, it has been worthwhile and inspirational to be involved with such a motivated group of volunteers on the Cadet Auxiliary. Your support, input and unity all contributed to our cause and our entertaining and productive meetings will be fondly remembered. For any parent who would like to contribute to their son’s cadet experience in 2017, the Cadet Auxiliary is a warm, fun and welcoming environment and truly worthwhile. Mrs Sue Wearne Convenor

Middle and Senior School Year Representatives The Middle School and Senior School Year Representatives are a small group of volunteer parents in each year level who give up time every term to plan an assortment of events for all the CGS parents to enjoy. We attend four meetings a year plus a gorgeous Welcome Morning Tea in Term 1 and a Thank You Morning Tea in Term 4 hosted by the Parents’ Association President Mr Warren Edney and Headmaster Dr Paul Hicks. As Year Reps we are very lucky to have the delight of organising nothing else but social events. We do not have to fundraise or balance ledgers. We just have to help

We kicked off the 2015 season with a Season Launch breakfast, which was well attended by over 100 players, parents and coaches. CGS Head Basketball Coach, Mr Steve Blackley, was our guest speaker and gave an insightful account of his playing career and his coaching experience. The morning also included the announcement of the First V Basketball Team and Team Captains. At the conclusion of a successful Basketball season for many teams we held our first Annual Presentation night. This night proved to be very popular with over 200 players and their families. Most Valuable Player trophies were presented to all teams and our guest speaker was a young man, Mr Ishmael Hollis who is a young basketball player from Detroit being scouted by NBL Teams. Our boys, in particular, loved hearing the story of a young man and his hardships growing up in Detroit whilst pursuing his dreams of playing basketball professionally. The Camberwell Grammar School Open Day was another great success for our group. The newbies to Open Day ran ‘The Slushie and Slider Stall’ and of course we all got to see our fabulous new Sporting Complex with our new Basketball courts. The future of the Basketball Programme at CGS is so exciting. Thank you to the many people in the CGS community, who have helped get Friends of Basketball off the ground, there are so many fabulous people all working together to support and celebrate our players. A very special thanks to Mr Jamie Watson, Mr Steve Blackley – our Head Coach, the Development Office – especially Miss Jessie Stasiak and all of our committee members. A special mention must go to Mrs Sally Hanley – Vice President and Mrs Nessa Neil – Treasurer for their significant contribution they make to this Parent Group. Mrs Fran Amling President

Support Groups Friends of Cricket The 2015-16 cricket season was headed by Mr Mark Freeman as Development Coach, Mr Richard Clifton as the First XI coach and Mr Paul Young as the First XI Team Manager. As was the case the previous year, many boys participated in pre-season trials, and it was pleasing to see a number of young players make the senior squad.

Community

The season was launched for the First XI squad in October with a get together for senior cricketers and their families. New players were presented with their First XI caps, and previously capped players presented with a training shirt. It was a great opportunity for the new and old families to meet each other prior to the season beginning. The Fist XI squad travelled to Toowoomba in January to compete in the annual Neil Dansie Cricket Festival. Unfortunately, rain and illness intervened, so only one of four scheduled matches was completed. Despite the lack of cricket played, it will be remembered as a character building experience. The season closed with a dinner for the senior squad at which various awards were presented. We wish all cricketers the best for the forthcoming summer season. Mr Gavin Powell President

Friends of Football The 2016 football season again began with the Season Launch breakfast held at school, and attended by 150 boys, parents and teachers from all year levels. This culminated in the presentation of the First XVIII jumpers, and the announcement of team captains from Year 7 to 12. We were fortunate to be joined by North Melbourne legend Mr Glenn Archer, who spoke about his journey through football and the lessons he had learned. Once the season properly commenced the Friends of Football canteen was in full swing on Saturday mornings at Gordon

The recent innovation of hot dogs and a drink for the Camberwell players after the last home game of the season was again provided by Friends of Football. Thanks to the many parents who made coffee, baked cakes and muffins, served in the canteen and assisted with the hot dogs during the season. The final event of the season was the Presentation Night held in August at the Gordon Barnard Pavilion, attended by over 240 people. This night features the Tregonning Medal Count for the First XVIII, together with best and fairest and other awards for all teams. Mr Sam Gibson (2004) again kindly attended the event to present the ‘Sam Gibson Award’ to the best team man in each football team. Sam, a former CGS football captain, has represented the North Melbourne football club with distinction over the past few years. Sports Scientist Mr David Buttifant, who has been associated with a number of AFL teams over many years, spoke to the boys about the importance of preparation and routine in not just sport, but life in general. Finally, I would like to thank all members of the Friends of Football Committee. Whether it be attending meetings, manning the canteen, helping at Presentation Night or the school Open Day, your enthusiasm and commitment has contributed to a very successful 2016. Thanks also goes to all our football coaches and assistants, and Mr Jamie Watson for their contribution to football at the school. Mr Gavin Powell President

Friends of Hockey Camberwell Grammar had 178 boys in Middle and Senior school, plus their parents, participating in hockey during winter. It was good to see that the events organised by Friends of Hockey were well supported by boys and parents from all year levels. The April break saw CGS field a team in the Melbourne Grammar School International Tournament and while the boys did not finish in places, they did gain valuable experiences. At the start of Term 2, Friends of Hockey in conjunction with Just Hockey in Glen Iris, were able to provide hockey starter kits consisting of a shin pads and a stick at a heavily discounted price to 30 boys who were playing hockey for the first time. Our end of season awards night was held at the Gordon Barnard Pavilion. Mr Oliver Chauhan (2015) ex-Captain of Games and Captain of Hockey spoke on playing and umpiring hockey and the ups and downs of his sporting career. We would also like to thank Mr Marcus Jones who took over the role of Master of Ceremonies this year. Marcus and Ollie presented the Most Valuable Player trophies for each team and the Mike Van Nugteren Team of the Year award to the Year 7A team coached by Mr Lachlan Crawford. The night finished with Mr Hamish Meachem’s video highlights of the 2016 season (thank you Hamish). Our final event for the year was the Asian Food Stall at Open Day which was staffed by 28 volunteers. I would like to thank you all for your efforts and having so many parents involved meant that everyone had an opportunity to experience other Open Day activities. The proceeds from the stall will be used for equipment and awards in 2017.

Other FOL initiatives, including the sale of VIPA book covering materials and padpod® tablet cushions, raised more than $300.

Friends of Kayaking The 2015/2016 paddling season has been one of consolidation, with core of experienced paddlers being joined by those with less experience but just as much enthusiasm. The squad was spread evenly across year levels. The ‘vertical connection’ between the boys of different year levels continues to be strong and is a unique and valuable aspect of kayaking at CGS. Our kayakers competed in a range of events, concentrating primarily on distance racing. The 2015 year culminated in our attendance at the Ben Ward two-day event at Cobram, where the on-river rivalry with Trinity continued, and team and interschool camaraderie flourished. Over 30 paddlers participated in two days of spirited competition, with most kayaking schools attending. In a new development for 2015, some of the more experienced paddlers from the schools decided to paddle ‘full distance’ (64km) solo (including Callum Gosbell from CGS), whilst the majority of paddlers completed relay legs of up to 24km.

After three years as President of the Friends of Kayaking, Mr Tim Gosbell stepped down and was warmly thanked for his leadership and hard work during that time. Ms Samantha Braun was excellent as teacher in charge of kayaking and we will miss her when she leaves the school at the end of 2016. We thank Samantha, Rev Charles Butler and other teachers who have assisted this year, along with our coaches and the parents who have supported the Friends of Kayaking so strongly. Mr John Campbell President

Friends of Library Friends of Library have had an interesting and productive year. The 2015 Book Exchange saw 2,068 books from 390 sellers sold to 389 ‘customers’ for a total of $57,451 in sales and a profit of $14,651. An additional $58 was raised from the ‘gold coin’ sales of retired library books. A streamlined checkout system with additional EFT terminals made for a smoother and faster process for buyers, and the school’s assistance with populating lists and crediting payments directly to sellers eliminated some of the more onerous tasks involved in Book Exchange. Hundreds of good quality texts which could not be sold were collected and donated to charity.

As always, the success of Book Exchange is due to the time and talent of a vast army – this year, not counting FOL Committee and The 2016 Victoria Canoe Marathon Schools CGS staff, 86 volunteers who contributed Championships saw a strong field of 26 CGS 585 hours of their time.

Finally, I would like to thank Mr Jamie Watson and the Friends of Hockey Committee, Mr Richard Emmett, Mr Jeff Gooden, Mr Paul Sampson and Ms Louise Brown for their efforts and assistance over the year.

Sincere thanks to the staff of the Development Office, who are a wonderful support, and to the FOL Committee for their enthusiasm, expertise and friendship.

Friends of Norge Friends of Norge are the parent group which supports Junior School activities and consists of Coordinators and Year Representatives. This year has been an exciting and busy year for Friends of Norge in our village. We hosted breakfasts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Over three hundred parents and boys attended each of these events which were held at day break on our Junior School Green. Mr Howard Kelly took complimentary photos of the boys with their mums and dads providing lovely mementoes of these special mornings. At the Mother’s Day Breakfast our mums enjoyed freshly baked pastries, crepes and hot coffee while sitting at tables decorated with a mass of pink roses. They received tote bags beautifully hand decorated by their sons and listened to our Junior boys sing them a special song prepared by Mrs Helen Thomas. They were also entertained by the Flute Ensemble. At the Father’s Day Breakfast the boys gave their dads delightful framed paintings they had made. Dads enjoyed hot egg and bacon rolls and donuts while listening to some terrific The Camberwell Grammarian 2016

The Junior School Footy Day was held on the last day of Term 2, a cold and wet winter’s day. Pies, sausage rolls and cupcakes were enjoyed by the Junior boys before they participated in footy activities and drills lead by the School’s First XVIII Football team. We managed to announce the winners of the footy quiz just before the hail came down and we all ran for cover! It was a great way to end the term. On Open Day it was exciting to see our Junior School village abuzz with activity as we all came together, parents, staff and boys to showcase our wonderful Junior School. Parents operated stalls selling sausages, pizza, drinks, fairy floss, popcorn, snow cones, lollies and provided information about Junior School. Power pedal smoothies were a great hit as was face painting, the jumping castle and the animal petting farm. I’m sure visitors would have not only been impressed by the presentation of the boys’ work, but also felt the warmth of our school community. Friends of Norge was also involved in Stepping Up Day, in welcoming new parents to the Junior School, Year 5 Graduation Dinner and the End of Year Staff Farewell BBQ. I would like to thank Ms Ivy Lun (Treasurer) and Mrs Roula Andreopolous (Secretary) for their tremendous enthusiasm and commitment in their roles and the support they have given me throughout the year.

Thank you to our Year Representatives for all your hard work in bringing our school community together by organising year level functions and helping at events. Mr Howard Kelly, Mrs Di Collins and Mrs Dune Richards thank you for all the support and advice you have given me and my team. It was a pleasure working with you and the Junior School Staff.

As a result of your ongoing support we are able to foster music and drama in the school community. On Open Day we launched our new Music Satchels for keeping music students’ precious printed music orderly and protected from harm.

Friends of Performing Arts The Friends of Performing Arts have continued to provide their assistance in supporting the School to maintain a vibrant Performing Arts program. We welcomed Mr Ben Bishop as the new Director of Music who has brought some fresh ideas and his contagious enthusiasm to the group. We are fortunate in having a dedicated group of committee members who worked behind the scenes of the Senior School Production of City of Angels and the Middle School play The Tempest, supervising our boys and the girls from Canterbury Girls College to ensure they arrived on stage with costumes intact and makeup impeccable. We are

We appreciate the talent and dedication of the Music and Drama Staff and the technical production crew for their inspiration and leadership. We acknowledge the support of CGS staff especially Mr Ben Daly, Mr Stuart Feldt and Miss Jessie Stasiak. Congratulations to Mr Drew Stocker, Mrs Helen Thomas and Mr Ben Bishop for a wonderful year of drama and music. The new chapel represents an opportunity for the Friends of Performing Arts to assist with procuring an instrument that is appropriate for that space. Look out for us in 2017 with some new and exciting ideas. A special thanks to Mr Chris Kautsky, Mrs Mandy Spencer, Mrs Nina Lewis, Mrs Jennifer Bite, Ms Lisa Seabrooke, Mr Paul Clark and Mrs Roseanne Perri and to all who have helped throughout the year for your wonderful efforts. We welcome and encourage all parents of boys with an interest in theatre or music to join us for an entertaining 2017. Ms Vivienne Chesler and Mr Michael Koswig Co-Convenors

Support Groups This will be my last report as a parent of a son at the school. What an amazing experience to meet and be part of this extraordinary school community.

with the assistance of the Development Office, as well as Raffle tickets at Open Day to raise money for trophies for our Presentation Night.

• More active and creative fundraising

All the best to the soccer family in the years ahead.

• Foster stronger communication with the Director of Sport and across all team coaches

Mr Robert Scheiber President

Our combined Presentation and Trivia night was a huge success with many families attending and was lots of fun.

• Improve communication and involvement between parents and boys

The overwhelming mandate for FOS is to support the sport of soccer at CGS in any way that it can – to ensure all boys involved enjoy their experience and achieve their full potential, no matter what level they are playing at. At the commencement of the school year, boys across all age groups are encouraged to take part in the First XI trials. For a number of years now, the final First XI squad has included boys from Years 8 to 12 as this has been recognised as an essential component of successful development. The 2016 squad was a more mature paying group which paves the way for significant opportunities for younger players in 2017 and beyond. A big thank you to the First XI coach Mr Joe Montemurro and Dr Moses Khor for their hard work and dedication throughout the season. Sincere thanks also go out to coaches and teachers across all age groups for their commitment and encouragement. The season began with the feature First IX Team Presentation breakfast and the End of Year Pizza Presentation evening at Gordon Barnard Reserve on 16 August with over 230 in attendance. Mr Kimon Taliadoros (1985) an Old Boy, Socceroo and Chairman of Football Federation Victoria spoke entertainingly about his time at the school and soccer experiences which rounded off the evening very well. Mr Jamie Watson and Dr Moses Khor were exceptional in their hosting, making presentations and support of the soccer teams and moreover sport at CGS. Feedback from many noted it was the best soccer event ever at CGS and a benchmark to build from in future years. Open Day is the major fundraising event for FOS with a new bagged lollies initiative and CGS winter sport scarves on offer. A great result on the day and a sincere thank you to all parents involved. Particular thanks goes the Development office for their support of FOS during 2016 and to the small but energetic FOS committee. Ms Jenny Gotz Papillo, Mr Paul Ward, Mr Argie Froutzis and Mrs Robyn Scheiber who did amazing things in bringing the year together.

Friends of Snowsports The 2016 Ski season was kicked off with an enthusiastic start in the Performing Arts Centre with a Pizza night. It gave families from all levels of the school a chance to catch up and be entertained by a parade of new ski fashion and equipment, from local ski store, EMC. The Camberwell Grammar Falls Creek ski week, in the second week of the July holidays was once again well attended, with 25 families and four staff members enjoying the slopes and the Après in a very relaxed environment. The week culminated in race coaching and then the Camberwell Cup races to determine placings in the teams for the inter-school competition. Family members also had the opportunity to test themselves on the race course.

We are all very excited and enthusiastic to have a wonderful new pool to use next year and Friends of Swimming will be raising money to purchase equipment for the swimmers and trophies for the next Presentation Night in 2017. Thank you to all committee members and parents who have helped out during the year and also to Mr Hamish Meachem for his enthusiasm. Thank you also to Miss Jessie Stasiak , Mrs Elizabeth Board and the Development Office staff for their much appreciated support.
