Year 8 Kangaroobie Camp
Cricket
All Year 8 students will be spending next week at Kangaroobie Camp near Port Campbell in
the Otways. The outdoor activities at the camp will provide a valuable learning experience
for our students as they challenge themselves in ways they do not often experience in the
classroom. The focus of this particular camp will be on the students’ transition from the Middle
School to the Senior School, and current Form Room Teachers, Senior School Heads of House
and Prefects will be at the camp to assist with this significant transition. I look forward to
seeing the boys in action when Ms Falloon and I visit the camp on Tuesday. I am grateful to
the teachers who give up time with their families to be with the students, and particularly to
Ms Kirsty McDougall who has coordinated the program.
Kayaking
Summer Vacation Activities
Volleyball
Over December and January, a significant number of our students will be involved in school
related activities. Some of the highlights of the vacation program include:
World Challenge Trip to Nepal
Mr Ian March will accompany eight students from Year 11 for a month-long trip departing this
Friday and returning on Wednesday 24 December, on a spectacular trekking adventure on a
World Challenge Trip to Nepal. The trip consists of community service, two weeks trekking in
the Annapurna region and white water rafting in Chitwan National Park. Students will learn to
work as a team, lead a group, communicate with others, make decisions effectively, plan and
problem solve, thus improving their confidence and self-reliance.
Tasmanian Adventure
Dr Murray Anderson, Ms Kirsty McDougall and a group of 12 boys will fly to Hobart and hike
for six days along the Tasman Coastal Trail in the Tasman National Park, from Friday 12 to
Thursday 18 December. They will explore the sandy beaches, rugged sea cliffs and beautiful
sheltered rainforest which follows the coast-line from Waterfall Bay through to Fortescue
Beach, out to Cape Hauy and on to Cape Pillar.
Chinese Exchange to Nanjing, China
Seven Senior School students will this weekend be heading off for a Chinese Exchange to our
sister school in Nanjing. They depart tomorrow and return on Saturday 20 December. They will
be staying with host families and will attend the Nanjing Foreign Language School.
Cricket
The 1st XI Cricket Team will travel to Adelaide from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 January for the
annual Neil Dansie Festival, involving four schools: Camberwell Grammar School, St Peter’s,
Toowoomba Grammar and Knox Grammar School.
Kayaking
The Kayaking Squad will be taking part in The Ben Ward 40 Mile Race on Saturday 13 December.
It will run from Cobram to Tocumwal.
Volleyball
The 1sts Volleyball Team will be participating in the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup from
Monday 8 to Friday 12 December. This event is the largest school-based sporting event in
the Southern Hemisphere, attracting teams from across Australia, plus international teams.
The event is the responsibility of Volleyball Australia and is organised by the Australian Volleyball
Schools’ Cup Event Commission.
Army Cadet Unit – Courses Camp December 2014
Leadership Courses will be conducted for our Cadets, by the Australian Army Cadets at
Puckapunyal Army Camp between Sunday 7 December and Sunday 14 December.
I would like to thank all staff involved in the vacation activities, our students are very fortunate that
our teachers are prepared to give their vacation time to provide such rich and rewarding experiences.

Cyber Safety: A Parent’s Guide to Instagram
Instagram is a photo-sharing social media app that allows users to take and upload photos
from their smartphone camera, add filters, captions and location information and then share
them with ‘followers’ into a memory to keep forever. While students may think it is a fun
and quirky way to share their life with friends, they do not always consider that a picture or
comment can come back to haunt them.
‘Headspace’ has partnered with Instagram and ‘ConnectSafely’ to produce a guide for parents
about the safe use of Instagram which can be found here. The site provides tips, safety advice,
articles, news, analysis, video and other resources to promote the safe and effective use of
connected technology.
Sport Report
The final round of sport for 2014 saw many of the First Teams have byes, although this did not
prevent Camberwell recording a number of wins including success in Cycling, Basketball and
Tennis.
The Cycling Team competed in their first Team Time Trial on the weekend, with the weather
suiting the evening race time. A crash unfortunately ended CGS Team 2’s race; however,
Team 1 raced well to record an average time of 5:33 for each of their eight, 3km laps.
Hamish Webber (Year 10) competed in a separate team, comprised of fellow club cyclists, was
placed as the number one seed and were the last team to race. Congratulations to Hamish and
his team, the Campaneros, who secured first place.
First Tennis had a bye this week; however, many other teams had fixture games. 9A Tennis
played PEGS and after taking a three sets to one lead in the doubles, the team faltered slightly
losing three singles matches. However Camberwell’s lower seeds played impressively with the
season’s best performances from Luke Huang and Byron Wu (Year 8) securing an eight sets to
four win for Camberwell.
9C Gold Tennis also performed well over the weekend. Steven Connelly (Year 8) and
David Chen (Year 8) set up a tight but solid win from the team, the end result being seven sets
to five. This is their third consecutive win for the season.
Camberwell’s 9A Cricket side played Marcellin on Saturday. After winning the toss and batting,
Camberwell made a competitive 129, aided by Alex Chauhan’s 33 (Year 8), including 3
towering sixes, and Jack Fitzgerald’s crafty 26 (Year 8). Consistent bowling from Darcy MacCuspie
(Year 8) and Ali Fitzgerald (Year 8) saw Marcellin reduced to 3 for 57. However, the game
proved to have one final twist with some strong hitting from Marcellin securing a tie on the last
ball of the day.
The First Squash Team had an encouraging win against archrivals Trinity in the final round for
2014. Christian Mouritz (Year 11) had a great win at second seed, winning three games to love
whilst Matthew Appleby (Year 11) played fierce squash, defeating his opponent in four sets to
one in the singles and combining with Harrison Mourelatos (Year 11) in the Doubles to trounce
the opposition three-love. Second Squash played well but was overcome by a powerful Yarra
Valley side, Jonthan Duan and Patrick Hawkins (both Year 10) fighting tenaciously in their
Doubles’ matches.
Mr Hone’s 10A Basketball side played Melbourne Grammar, recording their first victory of the
season. On the back of three 3-point shots and some solid defensive play, the team is sure to
return in the new year with optimism for the remainder of the season. Strong rebounding and
passing play, and a stellar game from Oliver Wong (Year 9) led Camberwell to a 46-29 point
win.

Farewell to Year 8
It has been a special few days as we farewelled the Year 8 boys from Middle School this week.
On Thursday we held our own Leavers’ Assembly, where Sam Garrard (Year 7) thanked the
Year 8 students for their leadership and guidance throughout the year. Ben Chesler (Year 8)
responded on behalf of the Year 8 boys in his own inimitable style, sharing some memories
of his time in Middle School. Year 8 students Fin Sampson, Sean Halley and Cyrus Chan
entertained us with their own arrangement of an Arctic Monkeys song and a percussion
band comprising of Emile Akbarzadeh, Roger Jin, Matthew Perri (Year 8) and Henry Koswig
(Year 7) played a thoroughly entertaining piece for us. We were also able to present the
HL Tonkin Cup for the House championship to Summons. Amanda Mandie from KOALA Kids
accepted a cheque for $5,628.45 from our annual run/walk and Sonali Padman from Projec10
received a cheque for $2,027.72 from the Year 8 Social.
It was certainly an action packed Assembly and I particularly enjoyed the great slideshow
tribute to the Year 8s and the final singing of the School Song. Today the Year 8 boys packed
up their lockers and spent the afternoon preparing their bags for next week’s camp.
They are a magnificent group of young men and I wish them well for the camp and the

Year 9 transition program the following week. We will miss their positive energy and exuberance
in Middle School and I thank them as a cohort for their superb contribution to life in Middle
School, especially this year.

Church Service
Summer Vacation Activities
We enjoyed our Advent service at St Mark’s this morning, with the Middle School section of
the Carol Choir proving a highlight. This was the final time that our three year levels would
come together as a Middle School, so it proved to be a special occasion. The Youth Leader at
St Mark’s, Ben Hewitt, addressed us and we were able to thank Tim Clare, from Mustard, for
his contribution to life at Camberwell Grammar in recent years. Tim has been integral in the
running of our services and under his leadership a strong bond has formed between the School
and Mustard. Tim is now moving on to new adventures and we wish him all the very best.

your son requires more than one sausage please pack him some additional lunch. There is no
charge for the sausage and icy-pole treat.
Lost Property
As the 2014 school year draws to a close it is timely to remind parents to check the Lost
Property drawers. Lost property is located past Reception on the way through to the Art Studio.
We currently have a number of uniform items, lunch boxes, drink bottles, swimming goggles
etc. Some items have the name of the previous owner and we are unable to pass these back

Sport
Summer Sport training has finished for most teams (only First XI Cricket and Kayaking are
continuing their training for a few more weeks). Volleyball, Orienteering, Tennis, Triathlon,
Table Tennis and Badminton all sit inside the top four on their respective ladders at this stage
of the season.
Cycling, a new sport to Camberwell Grammar, has continued to impress with three successful
events being held over Term 4 and another four to go during Term 1, 2015. Mr Brian Nguyen
and Captain Hamish Webber have led a spirited group of students in what is a growing and
exciting sport at Camberwell Grammar.
Summer Training resumes as of Monday 2 February 2015 for all sports. Some Firsts teams may
commence earlier however, so students will need to check with their coaches if they are in one
of those squads. The first Saturday competition for 2015 is Saturday 7 February.
Well done to the Old Boys who successfully defeated the current First XI in the final Cricket
match ever to be played on the old KAO before it gets reconstructed. They looked shaky early
but managed to rally and torment their younger counterparts to take the match in a close
finish. Thanks to Bill Mallinson for all of his work in getting the match organised. It looks like
it will be a more regular event in future too.
Good luck to the First XI Cricket Team on their tour in January to Adelaide for the annual Neil
Dansie Cricket Festival.

CGS Second Hand Book Sale
Just a reminder that the Second-Hand Book Sale will be held in M30-33 (just near the Senior
library) on Thursday 11 December from 5.00pm to 7.00pm. Queue tickets can be picked up
at any of the receiving days (listed below) and this year you can select the time slot that suits
you best. A relatively small investment of time could literally save you hundreds of dollars and
make use of perfectly good text books, so we’d love to see you there.
Help out at the Book Sale
There are still spots available on the roster, so if you have a spare few hours come and join in
the fun - it’s a great way to meet other parents and friends of the school, and the Book Sale
is a great initiative to support. Go to https://www.volunteersignup.org/WB3RP to select a day
and time that suits.
Sell Your Second-Hand Books
Drop off your son’s unwanted text books and calculators at any of our Receiving Days - check
the FoL booklist and notices below for what you can sell and how to prepare your books for
sale and then drop them in to our friendly volunteers. Click on these links to find information
on How to Sell Your Second Hand Books, Text Book Sale form and Calculator Sale form.
Don’t forget to pick up your Queue ticket when you drop off your books!

Friday 28 November, 8.00am to 12.00pm, M35

Tuesday 9 December, 8.00am to 4.00pm, M30-33
Wednesday 10 December, 8.00am to 4.00pm, M30-33
Thursday 11 December, 8.00am to 12.00pm, M30-33
Campion Deadline
Please note that Campion has extended their deadline for printed book list submission until
14 December, so you can attend the Book Sale and complete your form once you know which
texts you have been able to source second-hand. As usual, there will be a box at the Sale for
you to leave your completed Campion forms.
Order System
If you can’t attend the Book Sale, don’t forget you can submit an order on the Order Form
provided with your son’s Book Lists, and our FoL Volunteers will do their best to fill your order
at the close of the sale. More information on buying books will be in next week’s Bulletin
and is available on the Parent Portal at www.cgs.vic.edu.au/Parents/index.asp under ‘School
Community/Friends of Library.’
Extra Value
As well as saving money and getting some of your son’s text books early, there are other great
benefits from attending the CGS Book Exchange, which are the three below very special offers.
See the flyers with this issue of the Bulletin for more information.
VIPA Book Covering - this thick, user-friendly and (most importantly) easy to reposition
‘contact’ book covering is so much better than anything you’ll find in the shops and makes
book covering a pleasure. Try it, you won’t believe how good it is!
PadPods - created by the daughter of one of our Camberwell Grammar parents, PadPods
are the ideal way to hold, use and display your tablet, laptop or phone and they make great
Christmas gifts too. Enjoy a special discount and help support FoL with your purchase.

2015 BOOK LISTS - IMPORTANT NOTICES
Please note there are a couple of errors on the Campion and Friends of Library Book Lists please check below so that you know what is required for your son next year and also get the
latest on what you can sell or buy at the Book Exchange.
Year 6 Advanced Chinese - ‘Chinese Made Easy Book 1-2nd Edn (Yamin Ma)’ can be sold or
purchased at the Book Sale even though it is not on the FoL Book List.
*Year 6 Note: Please note that workbooks can only be sold if they have minimal or no writing
in them.
Year 7 and 8 Geography - Please note that all students must have the 2014 edition of ‘Skills
in Geography 7-10: Australian Curriculum SB’. Year 7 students who purchased this text should
retain it for next year.
Year 10 Mainstream French - The text listed in the FoL book list for this subject is incorrect.
It should be ‘Quoi De Neuf 3/4 Student Book’. This was on the Year 9 booklist last year and
should be retained by continuing students. It may be sold at the Book Sale if no longer required
and may be purchased by 2015 mainstream French students.
Years 9–12 Drama and Theatre Studies - Please note that the stationery requirements on
the Campion list should read ‘Two-ring zipper binder’ rather than three-ring binder. If you are
ordering through Campion, they will automatically supply the two-ring version, however please
note this change if you are sourcing your stationery requirements elsewhere.
Jacaranda Atlases - This was listed in error on the Year 11 FoL Book List. These are no longer
required by boys in any year, however a very limited number of the latest edition (8th Edition)
will be able to be sold at a reduced price to provide a class set for the School. If you purchased
an atlas new for this year we may be able to sell it at a reduced price but be aware that most
atlases submitted will be donated to charity rather than sold.
