Welcome Back to Term 4
Welcome Back to Term 4
A very warm welcome back to all members of our Learning Community to Term 4. I hope that
Open Day - Saturday 10 all families enjoyed the break from school routines, and that our students were able to take the
October time to rest and to gather their strength for the big term which is ahead of us. In particular, I
Traffic Concerns know that our Year 12 students made good use of their time to consolidate their studies, and
to sit practice examinations in the third week. We wish them all the very best as they make
School Appointments for
their final preparations for the coming examinations.

Colours Open Day – Saturday 10 October
2015/16 Summer Season We hope that the weather will be kind to us tomorrow when we will again be hosting our Annual
Captains and Vice Captains Open Day (Saturday, 10 October) from 10.00am until 2.00pm. Our Parents’ Associations have
Student Exchange to St again done an extraordinary job in preparing and organising a range of activities and stalls for
Edward High School, Ohio, the day. We welcome you all to Open Day and hope that you will enjoy the opportunity to be
USA a part of our community for a day, and to see some of the varied activities which take place at
Australian National Rubik’s our School. The day gives us not only the chance to present our School to the broader public
Cube Competition but also to come together ourselves and to celebrate our own community.
Our Cadet Passing Out Parade on the Jack Tobias Oval (JTO) at 1.00pm is always one of the
2015 Alliance Francaise
Competition highlights of the day. We are delighted that our Cadets will be inspected this year by Lt Col
Andrew Butler, (CGS 1976). We are very grateful to him for finding time in his busy schedule
National Chemistry Quiz to make a visit to Camberwell Grammar School and I am sure that the members of the Unit
AGSV Athletics will present themselves in an exemplary way for his inspection.
Fencing
Unfortunately, there will be no parking for parents and visitors on site on Saturday since the
Jack Tobias Oval will be in use for Parade and all car parking spaces will be taken up by staff
2015 World Championships and others involved in displays. I ask in particular that cars are not parked on grass nature
Spectemur strips or across the driveways of surrounding streets. We do ask for the co-operation of all our
visitors in this so that neighbouring residents are not inconvenienced.
Middle School Please feel most welcome to attend if only for a short time, and I look forward to meeting and
Term 4 seeing many of you there. I also wish to thank in advance those of our students who have
volunteered to act as tour guides or participate in other activities throughout the day.

Please continue to be vigilant and careful in the mornings and afternoons as you deliver your
sons to school. We have been made aware of a number of incidents in recent days as drivers
lose patience in the peak periods. May I again ask you to drop your sons some distance from
the school and have them walk the rest of the way? The streets surrounding our school were
never intended to deal with large volumes of traffic and become congested very quickly. As the
weather improves it is good for our students to walk to school and this would help the situation
considerably. Once our new development is completed we will have additional drop off and pick
up areas and this should help, but in the meantime, please assist us in this matter.

We are pleased to be able to offer a new student exchange opportunity to Camberwell Grammar
School students. Mr Michael Perrins, Director of International Programs at St Edward High

St Edward High School is a thriving Independent Boys’ School just outside Cleveland, Ohio - with a

strengthen the opportunities for our students to deepen their understanding of another country’s

Term 4
It was great to see the boys back en masse as we launched into Term 4 on Monday. Many
were sporting sun tans from their holiday destinations and all appeared to be fit and healthy.
It certainly promises to be a busy ten weeks ahead, with several exciting events coming up.
To name a few, we have the annual Year 8 Social on Friday 23 October, a run/walk for charity
on Wednesday 28 October, the House Swimming Carnival on Friday 6 November and the Year
8 camp at Kangaroobie, commencing on Monday 30 November. More information about these,
and other events will appear in future editions of the Bulletin.
As well as the different activities on offer, it will be a busy time in the classroom, and many
of our boys will be experiencing their first examinations, set to commence on Wednesday
18 November. To undertake an examination period is invaluable for our Year 7 and 8 boys;
however, it can be a stressful time. Form Teachers will be running sessions on study skills and
examination techniques in PSC classes in the coming weeks. All in all there is a great deal to
look forward to and I am very much looking forward to a busy and fulfilling Term 4.

“The Archibald Prize, first awarded in 1921, is Australia’s favourite art award, and one of its most
prestigious. Awarded to the best portrait painting, it’s a who’s who of Australian culture – from

politicians to celebrities, sporting heroes to artists.

Since 1921, the Archibald Prize has been thrilling art enthusiasts, often stirring up controversy and
always challenging the way we see ourselves and our society. Over the years, the prize has been
awarded to many of Australia’s most prominent artists including Nora Heysen, William Dobell, Brett

Whiteley, Ben Quilty, Tim Storrier and Fiona Lowry. The Art Gallery of Ballarat is proud to be the
exclusive Victorian venue for the 2015 Archibald Prize, which is a touring exhibition of the Art Gallery of

New South Wales.”
