Year 12 Examinations
Our Year 12 Examinations began this week with English, EAL, Economics, Biology and Further Mathematics.
Many of our Year 12 students have been visiting the school over the last week to meet with their teachers
and to receive final advice and last minute tips. We have all been impressed by the preparation of this year’s
senior class and are confident that they will do their best over this examination period. We offer them our full
support and we look forward to celebrating their results with them on Monday 12 December 2016.
Grandparents’ Day
On Tuesday 25 October, we welcomed approximately 540 grandparents and family friends of boys from all
levels of our school. They enjoyed morning tea together in the Performing Arts Centre, attended a concert
involving musicians from all sections of the school, and were given a tour by their grandsons. Thanks to
all the staff, students and parents who worked so hard to make the day a great success, in particular
Miss Jessie Stasiak, Mr Ken Schwab and the Development Office Staff, and to the members of the CGS
Auxiliary for their assistance. I know that the students who had the opportunity to show their grandparents
around the school were very proud to do so, and I hope that the grandparents enjoyed their day too.
Twilight Concerto Concert
Summer Uniform
A very appreciative audience were delighted by a beautiful concert of string chamber music at The Twilight
Concerto Concert last Wednesday in the Music School. Organised by the Head of Strings, Mr Robert Wakely,
staff and students performed a wide ranging repertoire, featuring some of our Year 12 students for the last
time. Thank you to all the Music Staff for the wonderful work that they do with our students and thanks too to
the Year 12 students who have contributed so much to the music program in their time at the school.

The Science Talent Search, run by the Science Teachers Association of Victoria, attracts thousands of
entries every year. This year the focus was ‘Drones, Droids and Robots’. Twenty Year 9 IT students entered
the competition and created game programs.
The following Year 9 boys each received a certificate of merit and recognition: Griffen Adams, David Bennie,
Shiv Malik, Michael Pham, Alex Seidler, Oscar Tong and Edward Wu. In addition, the following students were
ranked among the best in the State: Nicholas Browne, James Gunasegaram, Rory Lewis and Niko Verrios.
Australian Geography Competition
Earlier this year, Year 8, 9 and 10 students, along with a number of Year 11 students, competed in the 2016
Australian Geography Competition. The competition aims to encourage student interest in geography and
to reward student excellence.
I was also pleased to announce and present the following boys with their certificates at yesterday’s Assembly
who were ranked in the top 1% of Australia in their year level: Oliver Papillo (Year 9), Max Ramm (Year 9)
and Charles Huang (Year 10).
Special congratulations are due to James Gunasegaram (Year 9) who came equal first in Australia in the
Year 9 level of the Competition.
House Plays
The theme for this year’s House Play was ‘Short Shakespeare’. All Houses produced a high standard of
entertaining adaptations of Shakespearean plays. Ms Penny Wood and Mr Ammar Haque adjudicated the
semi-finals and Mr Ben Bishop and Mr Haque adjudicated the final. The Best Actor Award this year was won
by Will Woods (Year 10 BRI) for his performance as Romeo.

It was a magnificent night last Friday when nearly 400 excited Year 8s descended on the Performing Arts
Centre for the big night. The boys handled themselves with aplomb and looked outstanding in their evening
attire. They were perfect hosts to the girls from Fintona, PLC and Camberwell Girls’. Mr Joe Tierney,
Ms Katrina Massey and Ms Victoria Papaioannou did a wonderful job organising the night along with
the members of the Social Committee, which included Austin Yim, Brandon Lee, Matthew Chan,
Hamish Monckton, Matthew Deayton, William Li, Mitchell Reid, Rowan Sandhu and Oscar Treacy. Well done
to all Year 8 boys for a superb night.
Run/Walk for Koala Kids
On Wednesday we took to the local tracks in perfect conditions for our Run/Walk for Koala Kids. For one
solid hour the boys completed laps of a set circuit, with some impressive distances covered by those who
elected to run. Several boys ran in excess of ten kilometres during the event, including David Thomas, Jake
Ford, James Backwell, Mathieu Ly (all Year 6), Jimmy Smith, Ty Beechey, Flynn Chable, Harrison Meers
(Year 7), Tom Ireland, Tom Bowers, Taran Laurence and Hugh McGlone (all Year 8). The sausage in bread
for lunch completed an excellent event. We now ask that the boys collect the money pledged from their
sponsors and return it to their Form Teacher as soon as possible.
My thanks to Mr Shaun Burke for organising the logistics of the day, and to Mrs Liz Ferentinos (mother
of Arnie Ferentinos,Year 11, and an ambassador for Koala Kids) for sourcing our bread and drinks.
The barbecue, to conclude the event, proved to be a huge success and I thank Mr Alfredo and Mrs Rose
Di Censo (parents of Domenic, Year 9) for providing the sausages. Thanks also to Mrs Justine Elliott,

Last weekend saw the first round of summer sport for the majority of teams and, despite torrential rain
leading to the cancellation of many outdoor matches, the results generally bode well for the season ahead.
First Badminton got their premiership defence off to a great start, winning six sets to nil, with encouraging
displays from Otto Zhao (Year 7) and captain Felix Wang (Year 11). All Second teams also recorded wins,
demonstrating the squad’s depth, as did four of the five squash teams.
The 7/8A Table Tennis squad stamped authority over the rest of the competition, dominating PEGS to win
12 rubbers, 24 games to zero rubbers, one game. Jayden Thai and Jackson Li (both Year 7) were named
best players.
First Basketball battled their way to a solid six-point win away at PEGS, well led all day by point guard
Aden Stitz (Year 11) and a significant contribution from Jack Amling (Year 9).
10A Tennis also put in a strong performance in one of the rare outdoor games that wasn’t washed out.
Loc Duong (Year 9) was named the best singles player, winning his match 6-2, as the team came away with
a ten sets to two victory. The Third Gold squad also fought hard in what Mr Ian Mason described as an “arctic
blast” to get within a few games of their opponents, but in the end narrowly fell short.
Finally, although I may be slightly biased here, I have given this week’s ‘Play of the Round’ to two of my
Second Basketball teammates, Adam van der Hock (Year 11) and Vinay Savur (Year 10). After a fast start,
some poor offence and costly turnovers saw the team fall behind by ten points with around five minutes left
on the clock. After a time out and rev up speech from coach Mr Martin, Adam led a comeback push, banking
in a three-pointer with less than a minute left to cut the CGS deficit to just three points, then won the ball
back with a great steal. After a narrow Liam Chester (Year 11) miss, Vinay rebounded the ball, dribbled to the
corner and hit another three-pointer as the buzzer sounded, delivering a miraculous comeback, the teams
drawn on 33 apiece.

Jamie Watson, Director of Sport
Music
After officially farewelling our Class of 2016 last week, it has been a pleasure to see next year’s leaders
step up to their new positions. We were treated to a fabulous evening of music at our Twilight Concert this
week, a small yet important event where students play alongside their teachers in small chamber groups. It’s
beginning to sound a lot like Christmas in the Music School, as the Trebles and Altos from carol choir meet
each morning to work on our Carol Service for Wednesday 7 December. For many of us, this event marks
the beginning of our own Christmas season with families and friends – hearing the music every morning
gives a wonderful sense of the special time of year to come.
Congratulations to Harrison McEwen (Year 10), who is the inaugural winner of the Warren-Henley Woodwind
prize, which will be awarded annually to an outstanding Woodwind student. Like the Elva-Allen prize for
strings, the winner is determined by audition with an external examiner and boys from Years 6 to 11 are
encouraged to enter. This prize has been made possible by the generous donation of past parent Mr Keith
Warren, and is also named in honour of Mr Trevor Henley, our Director of Music 1988-2015.
Well done to the many boys who have recently completed their AMEB exams. These are fabulous milestones
in instrumental learning, and often serve as useful goals to work towards. I encourage recent examination
candidates to find exciting new repertoire or tackle some improvisation, and most importantly to keep their
good practice routine going.
