HeadmasterFrom the HeadmasterWelcome back to a new School year I hope that everyone had a wonderful break over Christmas and like me you are now looking forward to the opportunities and challenges that 2018 will bring for all of us I especially welcome those of you who are new to our learning community and hope that you all soon feel very much a part of Camberwell Grammar School
Welcome Back EveningsI extend a warm welcome to all of our families to one (or more) of our Welcome Back Evenings generously sponsored by our Parentsrsquo Association The Junior School Evening was a very convivial occasion last Monday evening and the Middle School Welcome Back is being held tonight at 630pm in the Camberwell Room The Senior School Evening will be held in the same venue next Friday 9 February I am very grateful to Mrs Cathy Garrard and the members of her Committee for arranging and hosting these evenings We value greatly the support we receive from our Parent Support Groups and I thank them for the warm welcome they extend to all families at the beginning of each year
Solar PanelsOver the Christmas Break a team from Gippsland Solar installed the first stage of a large-scale solar panel project at our school We are covering the roof spaces of all of our major buildings with solar panels ndash which will eventually generate 862kw of energy ndash equivalent to about 200 home installations and meeting nearly 40 of the schoolrsquos electricity needs Included in the system are numerous educational applications for our students and our Grade 5 classrooms will be able to operate completely lsquooff-gridrsquo I am pleased that the initial impetus for this project came from our own students who presented a compelling case to our Business Manager who picked up the idea and worked hard to implement it It is good to know that Camberwell Grammar School is doing its bit to reducing our impact on the environment
Professional DevelopmentOur entire staff participated in two days of Professional Development on Wednesday 24 January and Thursday 25 January Groups of teaching and non-teaching staff met to discuss issues including teaching and learning pastoral care staff development and support These workshops provoked some stimulating discussion and have already provided very valuable feedback and ideas which will be extremely useful in developing our goals for 2018
Absence from SchoolI also ask that parents contact the School if their son is to be absent for any reason This is best done by a written note a few days before the absence to the Head of Junior School or the Head of Middle School or the Head of Senior School as appropriate In the case of sudden illness please contact our School Services Officer Mr Michael Neal by 830am on 9835 1721 or email attendancecgsviceduauStudents are not allowed to leave the School grounds without requesting permission from a senior member of staff This permission generally is only granted if the consent of the parents has been given If your son falls ill during the day it is important that he reports to Sick Bay in the first instance He should not call his parents directly to arrange pick up ndash our Health Coordinator will call you if your son is required to come home In addition and if at all possible I would ask that medical or dental appointments be made outside of School hours We encourage our students to see their class time as their first priority
Uniforms and PresentationAt the beginning of each new School year I ask for the support of our parents in ensuring that all students are properly attired and that their hair is neat and tidy and in keeping with the guidelines set out on pages 24 and 25 of our School Diary I ask those few students who need to take some action about their hair shoes socks or belts to do so as a matter of urgency It may be that some boys are asked to return home until they are able to get an appropriate haircut Heads of House will be the final arbiters of what is considered lsquoappropriatersquo Our students have an excellent reputation in the community for the way that they wear their uniform and I am keen to ensure that we maintain this

We received some clear feedback from our students (and some parents) about their dislike of long socks in Summer at the end of last year The boys feel the long socks are outdated and find them difficult to keep up For these reasons and after seeking advice from our Parent Uniform Shop (PLUS) and our uniform suppliers we have determined that this will be the last Summer that students are required to wear the long socks From the beginning of Term 4 we will move to short walking socks ndash more on this later in the yearI would also like to remind parents that it is important that the correct School Sports Uniform is worn when having a Physical Education lesson or competing in sporting events (pages 2627 in the School Diary) Our students represent us in the way they behave and also in the care they take with their appearance when they compete with students from other schools in sporting competitions and it is important that we give a very good impression
Immunisation Program 2018This year the Immunisation schedule will include the Year 7 HPV (Human Papillomavirus Vaccine) Gardisil9 and the Boostrix (Diptheria Tetanus Whooping Cough) Vaccine The first round will be on Wednesday 14 February and the second round on Thursday 16 August Consent cards will go home in the first week of Term and need to be returned by Wednesday 7 February even if your son is not being vaccinated A timely return of consent cards means that your son will not miss out on these vaccinationsFor Year 10 students The Department of Health and Human Services recommend the Meningococcal W Vaccination and this will be provided to Year 10 students this year by the City of Boroondara Immunisation Service on Wednesday 14 February Consent cards for this vaccination will go home the first week of term and need to be returned by Wednesday 7 February even if your son is not being vaccinatedIf you have any queries regarding our School Immunisation Program please contact our Coordinator of School Health ServicesStudent Health Coordinator on 9835 1777 or shccgsviceduau
Food Allergies and Anaphylaxis Management Our School takes its responsibilities to students with food allergies and anaphylaxis very seriously We approach allergy and anaphylaxis in a proactive manner All our teaching staff and key support staff are trained in anaphylaxis management and this is updated each semester While we make every endeavour to make the School a safe environment for students with food allergies we do not claim to be a lsquonut freersquo School rather lsquonut awarersquo The food prepared in our Cafeteria does not contain nuts however there may be a risk of cross-contamination with food prepared offsiteThe vending machine in the Sports Centre however does have products that contain nuts so we urge parents of boys with food allergies to remind their son to read the packaging of these products before consumptionIf you would like further information on how we manage anaphylaxis and food allergies at School please feel free to contact our Coordinator of School Health ServicesStudent Health Coordinator on 9835 1777

We received some clear feedback from our students (and some parents) about their dislike of long socks in Summer at the end of last year The boys feel the long socks are outdated and find them difficult to keep up For these reasons and after seeking advice from our Parent Uniform Shop (PLUS) and our uniform suppliers we have determined that this will be the last Summer that students are required to wear the long socks From the beginning of Term 4 we will move to short walking socks ndash more on this later in the yearI would also like to remind parents that it is important that the correct School Sports Uniform is worn when having a Physical Education lesson or competing in sporting events (pages 2627 in the School Diary) Our students represent us in the way they behave and also in the care they take with their appearance when they compete with students from other schools in sporting competitions and it is important that we give a very good impression
